Chapter 479: The Countryside Surrounds the City (Part I)
Hu Zheng nodded, and then spoke: "Master Wei, it is really wise, with such a wise family master as the Wei family master, the Wei family may not have a brilliant day." ”
Wei Yi smiled, and then arched his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Hu is laughing, I can understand His Highness's thoughts, so it doesn't matter if my Wei family is brilliant or not, it's just that we also want to live better, I will do my best." ”
Wei Yi's words, Hu Zheng also shook his head with a smile: "Master Wei, in fact, you misunderstood what His Highness meant, His Highness has never been afraid of the glory of a certain family, what His Highness is afraid of is that these families have cut off the path for all the people in the world to advance." ”
"In this world, there will be a difference between people, His Royal Highness once said that people with strong strength, study hard, and have excellent talents use their talents and strength to win more resources to enjoy, which is what they should do. Otherwise, how can society develop? How can humanity progress? ”
"The people Your Highness cares about, there are some people who have united and cut off the path of others to ascend, that's all. Your Highness, I just want to open up this road for the people of the world, in addition, as long as your family has the ability, Your Highness said, the more brilliant the better! ”
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, he took a serious look at the shopkeeper in front of him, he was not a big shopkeeper, just a branch shopkeeper of Yuelai Commercial Bank in Huayin County, but his insight was beyond Wei Yi's imagination, this sentence may have been said by His Royal Highness.
But in the process of daily communication with this Hu Zheng, he knew that this Hu Zheng was really capable.
If this is the shopkeeper of their Wei family, then they have to give money to the share.
But Wei Yi understood the meaning of the other party's words, although these were a little far away from his Wei family, the Wei family was not a big family in Huayin County, they were also commonly known as the Hanmen.
The mansion in the house is not small, but it has been old for many years, and there is not much business in the family, mainly here in Huayin County, there is some land, and the land income that used to be the least important thing for these families is now the main source of their family.
It's just that the family business is lonely, but the consumption in the family has not fallen much, and the money saved over the years is naturally getting less and less.
To be honest, if it weren't for His Highness's reduction of the cost of paper, it would be a problem for their children to study later.
And the biggest reason why the other party can find them is that the Wei family is still quite influential in these townships below Huayin County, and when their Wei family first moved to Huayin County to settle down, in order to gain a foothold in this local area, they sponsored the construction of several roads.
Over the years, they have been trying their best to help the ordinary people around them, so their family is quite prestigious.
"I understand, I am willing to sign this contract with His Highness." Wei Yi said very simply, "In the future, if Your Highness has any explanation, Shopkeeper Hu bluntly said that I will definitely follow His Highness's explanation." ”
"Congratulations to the Wei family, you have taken a solid step on the glorious road of the Wei family, then please trouble the Wei family master and the Wei family's prestige in several townships, silkworm farmers, as well as the people in some mountainous areas to let them concentrate on planting ramie and other hemp crops, it is best to let them specialize in planting and breeding, spinning and weaving cloth do not need them to operate."
"Of course, in order to ensure the livelihood of these people, His Royal Highness is willing to sign a purchase contract with these people, as long as they plant on time and on schedule, and provide silk, as long as they take care of their livelihood, and provide silk and hemp crops according to the average harvest quantity of previous years, the guaranteed price will be calculated according to the price of 2 and a half stones of grain per mu of land." Hu Zheng immediately said with a smile.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Wei Yi still frowned a little, only letting these people just plant, not allowing them to spin and weave cloth by themselves, which cut off the people's income, which is not easy to persuade.
But when he heard the purchase price of His Royal Highness behind, Wei Yi was stunned.
This...... Is the price so high? If the price is so high, where does Your Highness get the profit!
If this price can be maintained, then the people are naturally willing to plant directly, after all, spinning, and then weaving takes a lot of time, and consumes a lot of time, not to mention, if the quality of weaving is not up to par, the price they sell will not be too high, and these consumed time means that the amount of silk and hemp they can plant and breed is not much.
After all, they still have to grow food.
And if they only plant, and according to the average harvest, the purchase price given is more cost-effective than growing grain, and like hemp crops, they can grow more hemp at once, so the income is increased.
After all, if you can grow grain, you can harvest 2.5 stones, so you must have good land! And you have to fertilize the fertile land.
"This ...... If His Royal Highness buys it at this guaranteed price, it will naturally be no problem. Wei Yi took a deep breath, because if it was this guaranteed price, it would mean that these people would easily be willing to sign a contract with His Highness.
"It's okay, but this year, like some hemp crops, we are more willing to sign a contract with these people according to a certain number of acres, after all, we can't let them stop growing grain at all, it's best to use some land that is not very suitable for growing grain to grow hemp crops such as ramie. The number of acres of land in this area should be determined, and the head of the Wei family may need to help investigate it. Hu Zheng said with a smile.
"That's fine." Wei Yi readily agreed, although their family can be regarded as a poor family, but it is still quite influential in these townships, he is very familiar with the Li Zheng in the township, and these Li Zheng are also very familiar with these agricultural and mulberry things, as long as you ask them.
"Oh yes, I forgot to say, the purchase price just now is the purchase price signed between His Highness and the people, and in addition, His Highness will also pay the Wei family half a stone per acre. The Wei family can contact a few households, even if it is a few households. Hu Zheng said lightly.
As soon as Hu Zheng said this, Wei Yi's breathing instantly became a little shorter.
This...... Although it is half a stone per acre, if all the people in these townships can be contacted, if a household grows 5 acres of hemp, then the Wei family will charge this fee...... That's a huge number!
At least it's much higher than the Wei family's previous income!
"Your Highness, why is this?" Wei Yi hesitated.
"It's nothing, it's still the same sentence, follow Your Highness, if there are other families or the like, and you buy something similar, your Wei family will say that there is no right, of course, when you say it, Your Highness's order is down, I will tell you." Hu Zheng smiled and said, "And in the future, His Highness will also give you more business." ”
