Chapter 383: The Focus
And this time, the heads of the fourteen families, after hearing the second thing proposed by Jia Huan, couldn't help but hesitate.
The head of the Liu family couldn't help but ask: "My lord, the three agricultural products of corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts taste good. However, it cannot be used as a staple food, and if it is planted in a large area and produced, I am afraid that there is nowhere to sell it. ”
The head of the Zhang family also followed: "Yes, my lord. Isn't it too much for each family to take 1,000 acres of land out to plant these three kinds of agricultural products? How about each family take out dozens of acres of land to plant? ”
"Besides, after harvesting the wheat and planting these three kinds of agricultural products, I'm afraid there will be no harvest, right? Of course, the adults have good intentions and want us to harvest an extra crop. ”
"But the growth of this crop is controlled by season. If you go against the season, you won't have enough time to grow, and I'm afraid you won't be able to harvest any grain. ”
Other family heads also echoed it.
Hearing everyone's words, Jia Huan's face couldn't help but show a strange look.
Didn't you just say that you obey your orders, only I am the first to look forward, and you are my lackey?
You've just said that, why are you changing so fast?
It can be seen that the words of these people are just listening.
If their orders are in their favor, or if they have nothing to lose, they will naturally support them.
If it harms their interests, they are afraid that they will not be so obedient.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but say, "In this way, this official is willing to sign a contract with you." The crops you grow are all purchased by the government at the current price of rice. ”
"If you harvest the crops you have planted and reduce your yield by more than 10 percent, the losses caused will be counted on the head of the officials. So, can you rest assured? ”
These family heads don't even dare to say anything.
But looking at their faces, there were still some reluctant expressions.
It's just that because of Jia Huan's official authority, he had no choice but to agree in the end.
After all, for them, even if there is no harvest of this thousand acres of land, their losses will be limited after all.
But if they offend the county magistrate now, their entire family will not be able to eat and leave.
Jia Huan continued to talk about the third thing.
"Now, the order for the carriage workshop has increased to 2,000 vehicles."
"Therefore, the carriage workshop had to be expanded to increase its production capacity. The funds you need to invest in need need to be taken out as soon as possible. Even if you can't get 100,000 taels of silver at one time, you must take at least 50,000 taels of silver this time, and get all of them before the year. ”
"In addition, you families, you must fully support the expansion of the workshop. At the same time, several of you should find a large warehouse in the capital, and the four-wheeled carriages produced will all be transported there as a transit place. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the fourteen family heads lit up, and they immediately came to their senses.
It's only been a few days, and the orders have increased again?
The profits of this carriage workshop are really amazing!
This made their resistance to taking out a thousand acres of land to plant three kinds of agricultural products in an instant.
What is that little loss, here in the carriage workshop, I don't know how much I can earn back.
Next, the heads of the fourteen families began to discuss how to expand the scale of the carriage workshop next, and each of them did those things.
How the warehouse works in the capital, and so on.
It took them a whole afternoon to figure things out.
……
Then, with the participation of fourteen families, the carriage workshop began to expand at lightning speed.
These fourteen families, after all, are the head snakes of the earth, and their energy is all exerted, which is very amazing.
As the carriage workshop expanded, more manpower was needed.
In the entire Ping'an County, almost one-tenth of the people have poured here.
With the flow of people, it has also brought more business opportunities, and the business of Ping'an County has shown an amazing explosive force.
As soon as business prospers, it will naturally require more manpower and bring more jobs.
And this has further promoted the prosperity of Ping'an County.
Jia Huan watched from the sidelines, and he found that the development of Ping'an County is certainly changing with each passing day.
But not all people can benefit, and even a third of the people who can benefit are at most.
This is also an extremely helpless thing, and this has been the case in all dynasties.
Throughout the so-called prosperous times of all dynasties, the rich were all large landlords.
If the common people can fill their stomachs and have clothes to wear, it can be regarded as a prosperous age. How could there have been times when all the people were rich?
The production of the four-wheeled carriage was directly taken over by the fourteen families, and Jia Huan became a hands-off shopkeeper.
Anyway, the bulk of the four-wheeled carriage's profits is actually the steering system and glass.
As long as these two core technologies are in his hands, the fourteen great families are just working for him.
Next, Jia Huan joined hands with Lu Liu to pay close attention to the security of Ping'an County.
The fourteen great families also began to restrain the children of each family and ordered them not to cause trouble. Otherwise, the family will not let them go.
This has made the entire Ping'an County clear, almost to the point that the road is not left behind and the house is not closed at night.
And in the following time, Jia Huan did two more things.
The first thing is to build water conservancy, and now is the agricultural slack season, so we don't have to worry about manpower problems.
And Jia Huan's construction of water conservancy is not the previous labor, but a recruitment system.
Not only does he manage three meals a day, but he also has ten cents a day.
The construction of water conservancy is carried out in the whole of Ping'an County.
This allows the people in each village to not only enjoy the benefits of water conservancy, but also bring them a job.
This time, it made almost the entire people of Ping'an County grateful to Jia County.
The second major thing Jia Huan did was to start building a Ping'an School Palace that could accommodate at least 3,000 students in Ping'an County.
All children of Ping'an County can enter school for free.
The school palace will recruit full of scholars and talents for the enlightenment of children, and there are also people and jinshi to teach for talents.
At present, the construction of the school palace has begun.
As soon as this news came out, the people of the entire Ping'an County almost bowed to Jia Huan.
Their gratitude to the county lord has almost reached the point of no return.
And with the start of these projects, almost all the people began to benefit.
……
And Ping'an County is the focus.
From Emperor Chongkang, down to the court, the princes, and even officials and wealthy families from other places, their eyes are all focused on Ping'an County.
After all, this is the vanguard of change. The development of Ping'an County is related to whether the reform can be carried out smoothly and whether the interests of the gentry will be violated, which will naturally arouse the attention of countless people.
Even not only in Great Xia, but even some surrounding countries that are eyeing Great Xia have maintained close attention to this.
However, the development of Ping'an County has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. (End of chapter)
