Cherries are indeed big in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, and they are bigger than those eaten before, and the captain thinks so too.

It's just that this kind is not big enough, at least Zhu Wentian knows that there are bigger cherries, but they are not very delicious, and they are not as sweet and sour as they were when they were children.

"Your Majesty, a total of nineteen cherry trees have been successfully planted in the village, and the rest are estimated to be not good this year."

The chief didn't say how much the cherries sold outside, because without that amount to sell, he didn't have enough to eat.

Cherries ripen one after another, and they grow big because of good nutrients.

In the summer, cherries are not valuable, and the people have a yard, they will plant them in the yard, and they don't care about it after planting, and they have cherries to eat every year.

Due to geographical restrictions, a large number of cherries can only be eaten by themselves and cannot be sold, unless they are close to the county seat.

Otherwise, why buy cherry trees outside?

Sold here in Nanjing, it is generally a penny and a bamboo cup, and the good ones can be picked out and sent to the Qinglou.

"More next year?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood as soon as he heard it, so ordering cherries, it is really impossible to sell them, eat them in the village, and help them eat in the palace.

"If you want to plant, you will plant more, and you will bear more flowers and fruits, and you will sell them in Nanjing in the future, and you will have to sell five pounds for a catty."

The captain is already considering the price, cherries are trees, and it is difficult to plant them out of season, so the cherry trees are transplanted the year before last, and then the greenhouses are built around the trees.

Last year there were no cherries, they bear fruit earlier in the spring, and some of them bloom and bear fruit in the winter this year.

This thing is not for ordinary people to eat, it is good for people to eat cucumbers, lettuce, chrysanthemum, eggplant, cowpea and so on.

The fruits include watermelon and muskmelon, which are very expensive, four or five hundred yuan a catty, cheaper than the beginning, planted more, and the yield is higher.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand, took the cherry pit that he spit out, and he smacked all the flesh on it.

"Yichang, let's remember that when we were fighting, we used bamboo tubes and oiled paper to send them canned food, which contained fruit."

"Yes! The quantity is small, and it is given to the generals and the sick and wounded soldiers.

Now there are also, made this summer, Your Majesty's sample will be made on a large scale, and then sold to the people in winter?

Next year, how many clay pots will be made in the village, made of large jars, and sold by the catty, because there is rock sugar in them, a catty will cost forty or fifty yuan. ”

"Forty or fifty yuan a pound, I can afford to work for one to two days, and I can afford to buy canned peaches. People can eat some fruits and vitamins in winter, right? ”

"Your Majesty has preserved fruits, but there is no fresh cherries, there is no shortage of dried cherries, and they are cheap, more than a dozen yuan a catty, and they can be eaten for a long time."

"The second child didn't say it!" Zhu Yuanzhang recalled, sure.

"It is sold in the candy store in Xiaqiu Village, not in Jubiqi, Jubiqi is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea." The lieutenant emphasized what to sell in the lower residence.

The shop in Xiaqiu Village sells preserved fruits, dried goods, and dried fruits, and the people can buy them back to soak in water and eat, and dry chewing can also begin.

In the past, the people couldn't afford to buy dried fruits, because the people had poor circulation, who would store so many dried fruits? It is inconvenient to store and easy to get insects.

Now it is Xiaqiu Village that places orders for the convenience of the people, businessmen transport dried fruits from all over the country, and Xiaqiu Village also collects fresh fruits and hires people to process them.

In places where there are department stores, merchants do not collect dried fruits, which are too expensive, and the stores pay a price.

They go to other places, collect a penny for a pound, transport it back, sell it for four or five cents a catty, and exploit the people elsewhere.

The people are still happy! Especially in places where there are many wild fruits, you can get more than a dozen wen a day when you come back to dry after picking them in the mountains.

More than 100 catties are picked back, and the number is this after drying, and the ones that are required to be dried can only be strung up with threads and hung in the house or under the eaves.

However, businessmen can't make more money if they want to, and Xiaqiu Village is pressing the price, so there is no shortage of people who deliver goods.

Excluding transportation costs, labor costs, and taxes, businessmen can earn a penny a pound, even if they are good, 100% of the net profit.

Xiaqiu Village earns 15 to 200 percent of the gross profit, because there is a lot of pressure on goods, and at the same time, it requires labor, and the dried fruits collected are troublesome to preserve.

Now is the best time to sell, and when spring comes, wild vegetables come out, and then in summer there are fruits.

It doesn't matter if the dried fruit can't be sold, grinding it into flour, making snacks for the children, and a large group of children living in the library.

There are day students, there are those who live for a short time, and there are parents who leave their children here and leave them alone, and give them water to drink and make snacks.

With the addition of the workhouse and the army, Xiaqiu Village only needs to return to its original capital when selling dried fruits.

The lieutenant chief told Zhu Yuanzhang about the matter, and Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a few breaths: "The businessman has double the profit, and the money is earned by them?" ”

"Other people who work hard also make money, and the people who provide the dried fruits do not pay, at least the fruits do not rot." The lieutenant corrected His Majesty's thoughts.

Otherwise, it will be easy to increase the tax revenue, thirty taxes and one, which is the same proportion as the most basic land endowment of the people.

The increase in taxes only increases the financial revenue of the imperial court, and the people who buy dried fruits will not be cheaper, but more expensive.

As long as it is bought and sold in the private sector, all taxes and other expenses will eventually be passed on to the people.

Of course, commodities that are not necessities for survival will not, and if they are dried, the people can not eat them, and it will hurt the people in the areas where the dried fruits are produced.

They make less money, anyway, someone has to pay for this money, and Xiaqiu Village will bear it, and the price will inevitably be reduced, so that more goods can be sold.

The children in the library, the people in the hospices, and the people in the army ate less and ate for free.

"The merchant can't sell the dried fruit by transporting it back by himself?" Zhu Yuanzhang still has questions.

"Nowadays, many businessmen don't do a single kind of business, they belong to buying and selling what they see to make money, and they can't let them open a separate store.

Only businessmen who specialize in selling preserved fruits and dried fruits will not reduce the price, that is their own pit themselves, and if they dare to lower the price, Xiaqiu Village will dare to dump it at a price lower than their cost.

Xiaqiu Village is more expensive than the dried fruit shop in Yingtianfu, but the quality is good, and the bad Xiaqiu Village grinds flour or soaks water for others to eat.

They know about it, so they work together to protect the market. Including those who do hard work, everyone has a price bottom line. ”

"Doing business is actually the same as the court." Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses, and everyone maintained a balance together.

"Isn't it herding cattle?" The long man joked.

Zhu Yuanzhang pouted: "I'm really bullied!" Liu De, who was raised by a son of a bitch, and the old soup that always sneaks with us to make a bad deal, hehehehehe......"

Zhu Yuanzhang never felt ashamed of letting go of cattle, but was always willing to exchange experience in raising cattle with others.

Whenever he mentions the past, he is very proud, we are just a cowherd baby, look at the present?

The old soup in his mouth refers to Tang He, and when the two of them herd cattle, they are always in the same place, and that place is good.

……

At noon, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had slept for a while, got up and was full of energy, and the ministers ran home except for Wei Su, Zeng Lu, and Liu Bowen.

Now that the day's meals have been received, they bring back the fruits and have lunch with their families.

Liu Bowen's Liu Lian is not there, he doesn't look at it as Xiu Mu, he has to go to work when he comes to have a good time, he is afraid that something will go wrong.
