Sole Favor Husband Section 126
The farmers of the county want to turn sweet potatoes into silver in this winter, how can they wait for 14 years!
Jiang Zhixian stayed in Pingcheng for political achievements, not for fright, in order to avoid chaos, the first thing is to increase the daily output of vermicelli.
Li Qiao was also frightened at this time.
He knew that the farmers in the county had planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, but he didn't know how many they had planted, and now Jiang Zhixian had told him all the numbers clearly, and his scalp couldn't help but numb.
Terrible!
If the farmers' expectations cannot be fulfilled this winter, then the farmers will definitely have resentment in their hearts. When it comes to rations, there may be an accident.
The population of Sanliu Village is relatively large, with more than 2,000 people, and there are more than 1,000 people who can make vermicelli excluding the elderly and children.
More than 1,000 people have worked hard, and they can indeed make 20,000 catties of vermicelli a day.
But obviously, 20,000 catties of vermicelli a day can't consume the sweet potatoes grown in the county.
"Master, I have an idea, why don't I let the people from Zhujia Village next to Sanliu Village also make noodles."
He said to Jiang Zhi County.
Expanding production requires manpower, and it seems that this work will be handed over to Village Chief Zhu, who has been running fast.
"Yes."
Jiang Zhixian also means the same thing.
Production must be expanded, but he is still unsure of who to find for this new manpower.
Now that Li Qiao has given a proposal, then Zhujia Village.
He didn't have any opinion on Village Chief Zhu.
But Zhujia Village is just a small village.
Even if you add the people from Zhujia Village, you won't be able to consume this year's sweet potato mountain before the sweet potato harvest next year.
Therefore, we have to continue to search for people.
In fact, it doesn't have to be the whole village together, but you can also recruit people from each village.
Get rich together, then it should be wet with rain and dew.
He felt that he could set aside a piece of land in the county seat to build a big sweet potato workshop, and the workers in the sweet potato workshop had quotas in all 170 villages in the county.
It was up to him to come forward to deter these workers, and whoever dared to sell their children would not be imprisoned for the whole family, but for every family in the village to be imprisoned.
Under this kind of deterrence, no one should dare to leak the recipe at will.
Since it is the sweet potato of the whole county, it has to gather the strength of the whole county to consume it, so as to turn the big fright into the expected big joy.
Of course, because the recipe for vermicelli is Li buckwheat, this sweet potato workshop, like the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village, can make a profit of 20%.
Moreover, the sweet potato workshop here in the county will not compete with the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village for the market.
Although he is for the sake of the farmers in the county, he can't chill the heart of Sanliu Village, after all, the reason why Li Qiao tosses the vermicelli is to find a way to make money for the sweet potatoes in Sanliu Village.
Even if he is the county governor, he can't block the money road in Sanliu Village for the sake of the money road of the farmers in the county.
According to his plan, even if a sweet potato workshop is built in the county, if the vendors buy vermicelli, they must first get the goods from Sanliu Village.
Only when the daily production of vermicelli in Sanliu Village is sold out, then the vermicelli from the sweet potato workshop in the county can be sold.
If he wants to consume so many vermicelli, he can't rely on small traders alone, and he has to release the news to the big traders in Fucheng in advance.
……
In short, if you want to spend this year's winter safely and meet the expectations of the farmers in the county, there are many aspects involved.
He will do his best to arrange.
Jiangzhi County's plan is very detailed and complete, and it also takes into account the interests of the villagers in Sanliu Village, and Li Qiao can't find fault with it.
However, it would be terrible if he still made a profit of 20%.
Roughly calculated, 10,000,000 catties of starch, that is, 100 million catties, 100 million catties of starch to make 100 million catties of vermicelli.
He actually took less than five cents for a pound of vermicelli, if it is calculated according to five cents, it is 500 million copper plates.
Converted into silver, that's half a million taels of silver.
500,000 taels!
That's a remarkable number.
Too hot.
When he earns ten taels a day by relying on vermicelli, everyone understands, but when he earns hundreds of thousands of taels a year, there will definitely be blood in someone's eyes.
Moreover, although Jiang Zhi County is a good official, he has not heard of bandits in Pingcheng, but there are officials at the prefectural and provincial levels in Jiang Zhi County.
He has no power and no power now, and if he really takes these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it is equivalent to a three-year-old boy walking around the street with gold bricks, who knows if these two levels of officials will covet this huge wealth.
So, after Jiang Zhixian's words were finished, he first praised it, and then said: "Since the sweet potato workshop in the county is the hard work of the people in the county, how can the students account for 20% of the profits, and the students can be rich in food and clothing by relying on the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village, so the profits of the sweet potato workshop in the county town do not have to be distributed to the students." ”
Relying on the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village, he lived a very nourishing life.
"No."
Who knew that Jiang Zhixian immediately shook his head: "The sweet potato workshop in the county town has used your method, and the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village is divided with you, so the county town must be the same." If you only take a share of the sweet potato workshop in Sanliu Village, then this is a loss for the people of Sanliu Village. ”
The satisfaction he felt with Li Qiao in his heart climbed to the highest point at this time.
Even the son of a huge rich man will never be indifferent when he hears the figure of 500,000 taels.
500,000 taels!
But the young man in front of him, with no arrogance, no color, and no greed on his face, turned away the 500,000 taels of silver calmly, lightly, and without hesitation.
This indifferent state of mind and this calmness are all necessary for being an official, and young people must have a bright future.
"This ......" Li Qiao hesitated, his brain was spinning rapidly, and after a while, he said again: "Master, it's better to be like this, from now on, students will only take half of the profit from the sweet potato workshop." ”
"And this year's profits, after paying the commercial tax, the students will take nothing, and all of them will be used to repair the official roads from Sanliu Village to the county seat and from the county seat to the Fucheng."
"I wonder what the adults think?"
If he takes half of the profit, then he can get more than a penny for a pound of vermicelli, and according to a penny, 100 million catties of vermicelli is 100 million copper plates, that is, 100,000 taels of silver.
Dasheng's commercial tax is not heavy, it is not light, in short, it is to pay 30% of a year's profit.
Pay 30% of the commercial tax, which is 30,000 taels.
If one hundred thousand taels is handed over to thirty thousand taels, he will get seventy thousand taels.
70,000 taels of silver, it should be able to repair two official roads. If you can't fix it, then continue to fix it next year.
He often walked the road from Sanliu Village to the county seat.
The road from Pingcheng to Fucheng, he will definitely have to go in the future.
Let's fix it now.
He gave up the profits and built the road, so in the future, he will get a share of 70,000 taels of silver every year by relying on vermicelli, and even if someone in Pingcheng is angry, there will be many people to help him speak.
As for the officials of the prefecture and province, as long as they are not tyrannical and domineering, they have to ruin his family and destroy people, then he is willing to break his fortune.
He is not a child who doesn't understand anything, he understands some unspoken rules, and he never skimps on things that need to be solved with money.
With Jiang Zhixian here, he should be able to communicate with these big officials and protect him.
As for the transfer of Jiang Zhixian in the future, we will talk about it then. He has special abilities, and he can also go through the imperial examination, and he can always get out of the way.
However, 70,000 taels a year, for officials at the prefectural and provincial levels, this is not much, after all, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes of silver.
If you don't know, I'm afraid you can get 100,000 snowflakes of silver that year.
Therefore, these two levels of officials won't make too big a battle for 70,000 taels, right?
"Build roads?" Jiang Zhixian didn't expect Li Qiao to say this, and was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Yes, build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, if you want to transport vermicelli, and if you want to attract more traders, that wide and flat avenue is indispensable. ”
"Besides, the road is repaired, and it is convenient for the people of Sanliu Village and our county."
Li Qian explained.
"This ......"
Jiang Zhixian was moved, of course he knew the importance of building roads.
He was glad that the young man's consciousness was so high.
There is a boldness, he admires.
has such a high consciousness and such a great spirit, although he is a peasant son with no background and no power, who makes today's Shengshang is Mingjun like to promote talents exceptionally.
As long as this young man does not become a demon, he will definitely take off in the future.
However, at this time, he really couldn't agree to Li Qiao's proposal.
At the end of the year, the officials assessed his political achievements, and they must not be able to bypass Li Qiao, his political achievements are so prominent, the officials must be presented to the front of the emperor, if the saint mistakenly thinks that he coerced Li Qiao to take the silver to build the road, it will not be good.
He must not ruin his impression in the heart of the saint because of the two paths.
Moreover, Li Qiao is actually afraid that this silver will attract disaster, right? Otherwise, why do you have to spend the money?
"Xiao Li." Jiang Zhixian got up from the chair as he spoke, and he paced to Li Qiao: "I understand your intentions." But the money spent is too much, and neither I nor the people of the county can make such a sacrifice. ”
He said and patted Li Qiao's shoulder: "It's yours, you can take it with peace of mind, this is what you deserve." You have led the whole county to become rich, and this merit is enough to bring you into the saints, so don't be afraid. ”
"Holy?"
Li Qiao was surprised.
"Not really." Jiang Zhixian arched his hand in the direction of the capital, his face full of admiration: "The saint thinks that only the people are rich can make the country safe, and he will personally verify the achievements of officials every year, your vermicelli is so prominent, the saint will definitely know you." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
So you don't have to worry about officials at the provincial and provincial levels?
This is also too good, to say that Dasheng is a paradise, it is really a paradise.
However, the words of building the road have already come out, and he has more love for Dasheng at this time, so his heart to build the road is more urgent and firm.
"Master, this is voluntary by the students, and it is also what the students urgently want to do, and when the students' husbands come to the county today, they ......"
