Chapter 59: The Junshan Conference

ps: Thank you for the big reward from the end of the world, and the father of the doll has also been promoted to the head of the hall. It seems that the poor Dao has to squeeze out time to make changes, and the poor are not enough to make the people angry. Thanks to Lao Doudou 1, Chenlucifer, East China Sea Hidden Crane, Eagle Zhou, Gorgeous Dividing Line, Selling Xiaoxiao, Zizhu Swordsman, and the encouragement of the monthly pass of the end of the years.

Regarding the flooding in Jiangyou County, Jin Jiu and others were advised to provide relief to those who had fled to Junshan as much as possible – in fact, they had already begun to do so. At the foot of the western foothills of Xiaojun Mountain, Jin Jiu and others set up a relief station and built some simple thatched greenhouses to accommodate dozens of families who entered the Junshan area.

In order to prevent these victims from rushing into the basin between Xiaojun Mountain and Cointreau Mountain and snatching or destroying tens of thousands of acres of grain that was about to be harvested, Guan Er and others organized the Zhuang Ding of the three villages and set up checkpoints at various intersections to strictly protect the grain fields. Fortunately, this basin is surrounded by mountains, and there are only six or seven openings to connect to the outside world, and each gap is sprinkled with more than a dozen Zhuang Ding, which can cope with it for the time being. But if the disaster continues to be strict and the victims frantically pour in, the situation will definitely get out of control!

At the same time, it is necessary to intensify the organization of Zhuang Ding, including men between the ages of 40 and 50, so as to double the number of Zhuang Ding, strictly guard against various mountain passes and checkpoints, and resolutely block the disaster victims from the Junshan area; finally, it is necessary to mobilize as much as possible all the people who can participate in the labor process and get a good grasp of the harvest of autumn grain.

Jin Jiu finally said that he had discussed with Guan Er, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen and others, and was ready to take out their own silver, and for the time being, he thought that it would be a delay, and the silver totaled more than 3,000 taels. He was going to ask Steward Li of the Charity Hall to go to handle the purchase of grain immediately. Fortunately, the incense silver in the first year of Junshan Temple's creation can be reduced, which can be regarded as a little lightened burden, but Jin Jiu still hopes that Zhao Ran will come forward to say that the incense silver in the second year will also be reduced.

Looking at Jin Jiu's solemn expression, Zhao Ran was quite pleased, this was the second official of Guyang County who was still in a habit two years ago. Now I have added a bit of calmness out of thin air, and I am getting more and more organized to do things. What makes Zhao Ran most certain is that Jin Jiu's eyebrows reveal a strong concern about the livelihood of the people under his rule.

After waiting for Jin Jiu's confession, Zhao Ran nodded, fully affirming the efforts and achievements made by Jin Jiu and others in temple affairs, civil affairs, disasters and other aspects during this period, and gave them a high praise for their initiative to take out private money for public use. Zhao Ran is very familiar with these official words and procedural words, and he really comes to his mouth. It doesn't take half a effort. Although they are all clichΓ©s, they are indispensable, after he said these words, Jin Jiu and the others' expressions were a lot more relaxed, and Zhong Saburo, who had the least knowledge, had even grinned, and the atmosphere in the hall began to gradually improve.

After a pause, Zhao Ran began to talk about the actual content.

"This year is the first year of the new establishment of Junshan Temple, and the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning. But what I want to say to you is true. I hope you all regard Junshan Temple as your real home. I, Zhao Ran, am alone, and the two elders in my family have passed away. Now standing in Junshan Temple, he has long regarded Junshan as his home. Senior Brother Jin and Second Brother Guan are both proud of their families, and Brother Lin and Lu Jin are also very wealthy in their families, I don't care what you thought before, but what I need you to think carefully about is to create and inherit. Which path is more suitable for you. San Lang is good to say, the family is in Junshan, I also hope you can understand that only the big family of Junshan is good, and your small family can be better......"

"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing. I didn't think about maturity before, but since it's a coincidence, I don't need to weigh it anymore, so I'll agree with you today. As you all know, this tens of thousands of acres of wasteland in the Junshan area was signed by me and Guyang County, and within 50 years, this wasteland is up to me, according to the agreement with Kong County, this year and next year, I need to pay two buckets of grain per acre, and at the beginning of the next year, it will be reduced to one bucket, and ten years later it will be three buckets. My idea is that in the first three years, each household will pay two doutais of grain per mu, three tials of grain after three years, and five doutais of grain after 10 years. In this way, the first two years are not counted, and from the third year onwards, it is equivalent to the people leaving fifty percent, the government taking thirty percent, and I Zhao Ran getting twenty percent......"

"But now I've changed my mind, I can't do everything alone, and I can't build a home on my own. I am a monk, I need to pursue the path of immortality, I don't have so much time to take care of the housework, it can be said that Junshan Temple has been able to be so smooth this year, thanks to the efforts of all of you here, especially the few times I have left, you have proven your ability. So I'm going to take out 20% of my own earnings and convert shares with you......"

Zhao Ran took a sip of tea, made time for everyone to think about it, and then asked: "You just said that you are going to take out your own body and silver to deal with the disaster in the neighboring county, which is very good, but it is not my style to eat and not vomit, you can report it and see how much silver each has produced?"

Jin Jiu had already come to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I gave out 1,200 taels! Well, add another 800 taels!"

Guan Er also hurriedly responded: "I gave out 1,500 taels, plus 500 taels." ”

Lin Shuangwen said: "I am three hundred taels, plus two hundred." ”

Lu Jin hadn't come back to his senses yet, and muttered, "I'm two hundred taels, what do you mean?"

Zhong Saburo's face was red, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, his family was poor and he couldn't pay a penny.

Steward Li waited for everyone to report, coughed twice, and said cautiously: "Zhao Miaozhu, I have fifty taels here, and the money is less...... Can I take a share?"

Zhao Ran pinched his fingers and counted, this is four thousand seven hundred and fifty taels, so he said: "In this way, I will borrow another fifty taels from San Lang, and we will also leave two hundred taels for the gold shopkeeper of Jin Ji Shop, which is five thousand taels." And I added five thousand taels, and made up ten thousand pieces of silver, and I took fifty taels as a share, and I converted them into two hundred shares. I account for 50%, Senior Brother Jin and Second Brother Guan each account for 20%, Brother Lin 5%, Lu Jin and Jin Shopkeeper each 2%, San Lang and Steward Li each half percent. In the future, all the profits of Junshan will be distributed according to this method. ”

While talking, Uncle Xu and his wife served a table of food, hot soup cakes, two plates of pickles, a plate of cooked meat, and a pot of meat steamed buns.

Zhao Ran beckoned everyone to sit down around the table and eat together.

Jueyuan sat next to Zhao Ran, tilting his head to ponder something while eating, and Zhao Ran didn't ask more.

After eating, he ripped off the plates and chopsticks, Zhao Ran wiped his mouth, and continued: "Let's continue." What I just said is the output of the field, but this is not all. It is true that agriculture is the basic principle, but if agriculture alone is the foundation, it can only fill the stomach, and the common people still cannot get rich, and if they want to get rich, industry and commerce, including the service industry, must be established......

Jin Jiu was full of suspicion and asked: "Merchants have always stripped profits, I'm afraid this is not very good, what is the industrial and service industry that Miao Zhu is talking about?"

Zhao Ran: "...... Well, the workshop...... A workshop is an industry. Cointreau is rich in clay in the northern valley of Mt. Cointreau, we can build a ceramic workshop, there are so many big trees in the mountain, we can build a furniture workshop, not to mention the rest, just say these two businesses, we can do it after the autumn harvest. After the goods are produced, in addition to satisfying their own use, they can also be exported to sell for silver. Senior Brother Jin asked just now, saying that the merchants are stripping profits, but after our things are produced, the merchants have to sell them outside, so the business is conducive to transportation...... As for the service industry, well, in the future, there will be more people in Junshan, and there will be inns, shops, restaurants, ......"

Guan Er interjected: "Qinglou Tile!"

Jin Jiu, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen and others immediately suddenly burst into the big house, and they all laughed wickedly.

Zhao Ran patted his forehead, coughed twice, brought the topic back to him, and continued: "In addition to the income just mentioned, the medicinal materials in Xiaojun Mountain and Cointreau Mountain can also be mined and sold, which is also the income of everyone, in addition, the incense and silver of Junshan Temple are also counted in it...... Maybe a year or two may not be profitable, but as long as everyone works together, all these outputs will be profitable, and these profits will be distributed according to the shares we just said. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Jiu and the others cheered in unison, and the room was really full of joy. (To be continued......)
