Chapter 397: Reward, Make a Lot of Money
Liu Yiyi's words gave the problem more ways to deal with it.
Liu Erlang smiled and said, "I think so too." In the future, if the threshing machine is broken, it will be replaced with a new one, and we can't care about other places, but in Meiling County, our family's business can't be done.
In addition, I also discovered that in addition to the threshing machine, I also improved other farm tools, such as our plow, which cannot turn and must be pulled by oxen. If you change to an adult pull, at least two people pull in front and one person in the back to hold the plow.
Every time I got to the corner of the ground, I had to work hard and waste a lot of time. If I can make a plow that can be turned directly, and I can pull it by one person and support the plow by one, I can sell it for money······"
Listening to the second brother gushing about his inner thoughts, the second brother's eyes at this time were full of passion and excitement, as if he had found his life goal, Liu Yiyi was also very happy.
"Second brother, you have a good idea. Ploughs, spinning machines, looms, etc., improving and creating agricultural tools is indeed a very good way to develop. Second brother, if you keep up your efforts, you will definitely be able to keep improving! Liu Yiyi encouraged and said that the family had another income.
In order to seize the market, Liu Zhijiang not only found his brothers to come over to help, but also found several companies in the village that had good relationships to complete the final assembly.
Those wooden box shells, as long as they know how to work as a carpenter, they will look at it, Liu Erlang will directly hand over to the master Wang Mazi to do, and order directly from the master.
It was a non-technical thing, and an apprentice who had studied carpentry for a year could make it.
A steady stream of threshers has been built, on a first-come, first-served basis. Wheat and rice can be threshed, and many people come to order.
Just when he was busy at home, Master Li personally brought a reward for Liu Erlang. There are rewards for improving farm tools or creating.
Originally, there were only fifty taels of silver, but Master Li paid out of his own pocket and directly gave one hundred taels of silver.
Liu Erlang was excited, he didn't expect that he could be rewarded for improving farm tools, and he was excited.
followed Master Li over, and a trading house in Fucheng, which did a lot of business.
Not only did business in the prefectures, but also in several surrounding prefectures, and even further afield, there was also trade.
Steward Zheng said respectfully: "My lord took a fancy to the threshing machine and came to seek cooperation. I wonder if you're interested? ”
Liu Yiyi and Liu Erlang looked at each other, and they really guessed it.
Liu Zhijiang was stunned for a moment, nodded, and asked, "I'm interested, but I don't know how you cooperate here?" ”
"There are two ways, the first one, you produce well and sell it directly to us, but we need a lot of it, it is estimated that it will cost more than 2,000 planes per month, and the production volume on your side is estimated to be not. The second is that you sell us the drawings and I pay a high price. Steward Zheng asked.
This is what the master personally explained before coming. After all, this is a farming family that even the prefect praises, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Therefore, no matter what kind of cooperation, it must be sincere, and the money given must also be sincere.
Liu Yiyi stretched out two fingers to her father, prompting him to choose the second way of cooperation.
In fact, this thing made money at the beginning, and it was imitated, and there were not many orders, so it was better to sell drawings at one time.
"Then how much money are you willing to pay for the drawings?" Liu Zhijiang asked, if the price is right, it will be sold.
Eat as much as you have a big belly.
Eat less, go hungry; Eating too much will hold on, or even die.
Their family only does business in Meiling County, which is enough.
Steward Zheng thought for a while, "What do you think of eight hundred taels of silver?" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all pleasantly surprised, especially Liu Erlang, who didn't expect to be able to sell at such a high price.
Liu Yiyi drew a "ten", and after Liu Zhijiang saw it, he bargained over there, "Let's make up a whole number, one thousand taels of silver." If there is any improvement in the future, I will tell you directly that no money will be charged. ”
Hearing this, Steward Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, originally the master said that it must not exceed one thousand five hundred taels, and the price is too high to be necessary, five hundred taels less than the price given to him by the master, which is not bad.
"Deal, we will make a contract today." Steward Zheng said.
Under the witness of Master Li, the Liu family directly sold the drawings to Steward Zheng, and also gave away three improved threshers for free.
Master Li was also surprised, this Liu family could enter the account with one thousand taels of silver at one time, plus the previous reward of one hundred taels, it would be one thousand and one hundred taels.
Now that the Fucheng side has reported it, presumably there will be a reward on the Fucheng side.
The prefect of the city reported to the imperial court.
The imperial court attaches great importance to agriculture, because there is grain in the fields and the common people have food, so there will be no rebellion, let alone rebellion.
On the contrary, if you don't eat, you will be hungry, and if you don't rebel and make trouble, you can only die faster.
Every time there is a change of dynasty, it is like this.
It was because of the peasant uprising that the Great Jin Dynasty finally succeeded and ascended to the throne.
Taizu spoke, we must pay attention to agriculture.
The performance of officials should be evaluated against the local population, land output, business and other aspects of political performance, among which agriculture is the most important.
The upper echelons attach importance to agriculture, and the lower officials should also attach importance to agriculture if they want to be promoted.
Good seeds are not so easy to cultivate, and new good farm tools are not so easy to make, so many officials rack their brains in order to save money.
Some even reported that some agricultural products that grew up to hundreds of catties of pumpkins and other agricultural products that had no commonality could be rewarded, but they could not improve the lives of the local people, so after being reprimanded by His Majesty, the people below did not dare to continue.
As long as this new type of farming tool is delivered, the prefect will definitely be able to go to the next level.
"Hehe, good, good!" Master Li praised, "Erlang, do it well." ”
Steward Zheng also smiled and said, "Liujia Erlang, if you can improve other farm tools and improve efficiency in the future, you can sell them to our Zheng Family Firm."
Our lord said that as long as it is purchased from your family, all farm tools will have the words Zheng Heliu written on them. Zheng, on behalf of our Zheng Family Commercial Bank; Liu, is the surname of you, the transformer or creator.
In time, your Liu Erlang's reputation, and even your Liu family, can spread to the north and south of the river with these farm tools. ”
Liu Erlang was stimulated by Zheng's words.
Improving and creating these tools not only makes money, but also makes a name for itself.
In front of him is the broad road, and he will work harder and go further in the future.
"Steward Zheng, I will work hard in the future." Liu Erlang replied, happy and proud in his heart.
The Liu family was also very happy.
After Steward Zheng left, Master Li did not leave, but came to Liu's house.
Master Li took out three admission posters, "This is Shiro, Goro, and Rokuro's admission posters." It also happens to be the beginning of the new year, so now I can go to class and be with my new classmates. ”
