Chapter 890: The Profitable Farmers

The tung oil bidding storm that occurred in Shuangliu County finally ended with a reluctant acceptance by participants.

Under the mediation of the government, Sihai Commercial Bank did not do anything at all, and finally left a way out for these tung oil merchants. The price of tung oil was set at 80% per catty. Sihai Commercial Bank produced in Shuangliu County took half of the share of the tung oil, and the remaining half was distributed by these tung oil merchants themselves.

After all, this group of people has been here for a month or two, and the food and accommodation costs have been spent a lot, which can be regarded as making some contributions to Shuangliu. After Shuangliu County becomes a tung oil production base in the future, they will still be expected to sell the products.

The production of 200 acres of golden silk tung tung in Dongluo Village was all underwritten by Sihai Commercial Bank at a price of one pound per kilogram. Although several big tung oil merchants hated each other, they had no power to resist the giant Sihai Commercial Bank.

As for the pricing of bulk tung oil, Sun Kedi also made a decision after considering that Shu is inconvenient and high transportation costs, he always left an appropriate profit margin for merchants.

For the long-term prospects of local economic development, he did not want the tung oil bidding storm to affect the reputation of Shuangliu County.

After all, there are other local industries that need to be sold by merchants. If merchants in other industries have a deep misunderstanding of Shuangliu County because of this incident, it would be a big deal.

The batch of tung oil taken by Sihai Commercial Bank will be sold to Dutch merchants who are also urgently needed, except for a part of the tung oil taken by Sihai Commercial Bank to evaluate the needs of supplying the two major shipyards. The price is initially set at three cents per catty. Compared with the purchase price, this is nearly ten times the huge profit.

Foreigners do not make money in vain, especially this scarce commodity.

The maritime industry in European countries is very developed and the demand for anti-rust paint is huge. High-quality tung oil is an indispensable part of the preparation of paint.

Although Sihai Commercial Bank had no business selling tung oil due to the scarce tung oil resources, since Shuangliu County has the intention to become a tung oil production base, Sihai Commercial Bank will of course quickly organize its forces to enter this industry.

After the tung oil pricing agreement was reached, the mysterious visitor sent by Sihai Commercial Bank returned to Chengdu Prefecture the next day. The subsequent tung oil sales will naturally arrange corresponding personnel to continue the tung oil transportation and sales. The young disruptor's mission has been completed and he can go back and submit the work.

Due to the sudden intervention of Sihai Commercial Bank, Shuangliu gained huge benefits in this tung oil transaction.

The price of 30,81 pounds is far higher than Sun Kedi's original estimate. The first batch of nearly 260,000 pounds of tung oil produced brought nearly 10,000 silver coins to local farmers, and the county government also drew nearly 300 silver coins in taxes from it.

There are 23 villages in Shuangliu County that grow tung tung oil, with a total population of more than 17,300. Huayu Village, the first batch of tung oil, is the largest village among them. It is the closest to the county town and has the largest area of ​​tung oil planting.

There are more than 300 households and more than 1,100 households in the village. According to the income from the tung tung oil, each person can get nearly nine silver coins. This huge extra income is enough to match the hard work of the past few years.

In order to make the money practical, Sun Ketong made major changes to the original income distribution plan.

Excluding the official tax, the income from tung oil in Huayu Village is 9,500 silver coins, of which each person can get six silver coins, and two hundred silver coins must be taken out to reward two seedling experts. The remaining silver coins are deposited as the common property of the villagers and the Sihai tickets deposited in the county town. The receipts are kept by the three villager respectively.

All public expenditures in Huayu Village in the future must be reported to the county government office in advance. After approval, when withdrawing cash, the three people must also come forward together, sign and keep the withdrawal amount voucher in Sihai bill number for future review.

The county government will send people to help Huayu Village build a school that accommodates 200 children of appropriate age to go to school, and disband the private schools run by large households in the village. The county government will be responsible for hiring several teachers and teaching students. The courses taught are mainly textbooks issued by the court.

All children of the age of this village must go to school. The books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone are all expensed by the village public funds, and the school will be closed every five days.

In addition, the village will also build a small clinic with a doctor and apprentice, and its monthly salary is the same as that of a public hospital in the county. The daily medicinal materials and related medical consumables required by the clinic are all paid by the village collective, and all villagers can get medicine for free when they visit the hospital.

The village of Huayu Village and the main road leading to the county town are widened and hardened, and the funds required are jointly borne by the county government and the village.

Since the Yangjiyuan has been established in the county town, all the qualified persons in the county are contained, so the Yangjiyuan will no longer be established separately in the village.

On the second day after all the tung oil payment was settled, Sun Kedi and the convoy carrying the tung oil payment arrived in Huayu Village. After supervising the payment on the spot, he announced the above revised new regulations.

For more than a thousand men, women, young and old in Huayu Village, most people have never received such a huge sum of six silver coins at one time. No one expected that the inconspicuous tung trees would have such a huge output income. Every village name that took the heavy silver coins from the right hand of the village, without exception, knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Kedi with gratitude and thanked him.

Most of these people at the bottom are illiterate and have no knowledge, but they still have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. When they understood several new policies announced loudly by the county magistrate, everyone expressed absolute recognition and obedience.

Running schools, building clinics, and building roads are all for the sake of farmers. Such a good government official and the Qingtian master who loves the people is hard to find with lanterns. Such a master should be a good man for a long time.

After announcing the relevant policies, Sun Kedi knelt down and sent him back home in Huayu Village, and his sense of accomplishment and complacent heart could not help but express his feelings.

In the next period of time, the entire Huayu Village fell into a major transformation.

The school and clinic began to be built, the roads began to be widened and leveled. The farmers who had money took advantage of the slack farming time to hire various craftsmen from the county town and other villages to renovate and expand their own homes.

The originally not wealthy family suddenly became more wealthy, so they had to hurry up and repair the house and marry the adult male at home. For a moment, this originally unknown village became the focus of attention in the whole county.

At the end of the 24th year of Chongzhen, all the tung oil produced in more than 4,000 mu of tung oil in Shuangliu County was sold out. The total output of tung oil reached as much as 1.5 million jin, the average yield per mu was 360 jin, and the total output value was more than 56,000 silver coins. This alone created nearly 2,000 silver coins, which was enough to be worth the tax paid in half a year.

All this is just the beginning.
