Chapter 251 Fan Yongdou's Anger
"No job is not rich, no business is not alive, no farming is not stable!"
Liu Mingyu looked at everyone and said, "Daning has proved this with facts. The income from running a factory is far greater than that of farming, but the problem is that if you don't farm, you will have no food to eat. One stone of grain transported from the pass will increase the cost by more than ten times. Therefore, we cannot give up the industry and abandon the industry, nor can we focus on agriculture and suppress business. In the future development of Daning, all walks of life, scholars, farmers, workers, and business will advance together and develop together!"
Liu Mingyu's plain words can easily be understood by everyone present.
Simply put, Liu Mingyu used factual data to tell everyone that running a factory is profitable and profitable! As for how everyone does it, it is everyone's choice. If you are not active in making money, it is purely a problem with your brain.
The prefects and prefects of each prefecture and county immediately told Liu Mingyu that they would take active action to set up factories and would no longer cause any trouble for the merchants who invested in factories.
After receiving the statements from the officials, Liu Mingyu said with great satisfaction: "That's right. Don't just dig food in those acres of thin fields! Farmers should not stay on the acres of fields and are reluctant to leave half a step. During the slack season, you can go to the factory to do short-term work, and your income is higher than farming. Now that the spring farming work is basically over, you can find work nearby and work in the factory for a month. The factory will make food and accommodation, and make a net profit of more than one or two silvers. Do you still need to think about this kind of thing?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly. In fact, Kuanhe has formed this model. Farmers are no longer traditional farmers. While they are farming, they also use their free time to work. Even if they are affected by the weather, the crops will not starve to death.
Of course, the reason why Liu Mingyu could implement this policy in Daning was mainly because the people did not have corvee service. In fact, the corvee service in the Ming Dynasty was also quite heavy. Moreover, each household was a unit, and it was served for generations. The father died and the son was born. Only under the age of fifteen and over 60 were exempted from labor.
As for the names of corvee labor, there are many, such as corvee labor, which is actually the same. There are too many counties of soldiers, guards, guards, soldiers, gravemen, etc. Not only do these laborers have no wages to take, but they also have to bring food from home to eat. This is actually a very big burden for the people.
In fact, everyone knows that when they are idle, they can work and make money, but the conditions and environment do not allow it. The labor cost in the Ming Dynasty was too low. Almost all shop assistants had no wages before they started their sects. The wealthy landlords and gentry didn’t have to pay, but supported a group of craftsmen, responsible for the maintenance of mansions, repairing flowers and plants, cleaning, guarding the house, etc.
In other words, people in the pass can't find a job if they want to work. There is no factory, and there is a vacancy in those stores, and dozens or hundreds of people are waiting.
In Daning, all projects are handled by Liu Mingyu according to enterprise. Workers who work have wages and are distributed to farmers, and workers also have to deduct their wages. Only the houses of soldiers and their families are free, and the houses of workers and farmers are deducted for wages. Of course, because Liu Mingyu is not as ill-mouthed as developers in later generations, they are sold at a cost of ten or twenty times.
The cost price of the house built by Liu Mingyu is actually the wages of the workers, and the cost of materials is almost unnecessary. The clay burned bricks is dug for free, so Liu Mingyu naturally does not need to buy land. The coal burned bricks is also dug out by his own coal mine, and the wood is cut down by natural wood.
In this case, Liu Mingyu is like spending money, but every relief is that the tax that should be collected will not be less than a penny. Daning is full of construction sites, and factories that make money for Liu Mingyu are everywhere.
Moreover, self-produced and sold, there is no need to find sales. At this time, Daning was just a dream place, and it was too easy to make a fortune. There was no need for any technology. For example, when Wang Wei followed Lu Xiangsheng to Kuanhe City, she had several thousand taels of silver in her hand.
At first she wanted to keep it in the bank for a living, but after contacting Yang Xianxian, she was influenced by Yang Xianxian and spent money to buy a vacant land of about 300 acres. The total cost was only 600 taels of silver. On average, one acre of land was less than two taels of silver, which was almost the same as picking up for free. She hired more than a dozen homeless women to grow red flowers. In a short time, the red flowers had not yet grown, and she received mercy and made money back with the capital and profit.
Wang Wei has expanded the planting area of red and red and blue flowers in Kaiping and Kuanhe respectively. Now Wang Wei's net worth has increased more than three times, and it has been less than a year.
Just like a fellow villager who followed Chen Ying to Kuanhe, he just built a few production lines and recruited hundreds of workers to help Liu Ming get a lot of money to process potatoes!
There are so many living examples in front of you, and those who don’t know how to act are really helpless. Death you should die, and bury what you should be buried! As Liu Mingyu said, Daning should not be fools.
"If you want to be rich, build the road first!"
Liu Mingyu continued: "Now there are many factories in Daning, and tens of millions of acres of land have been reclaimed. If there are so many materials, if they are transported by land, the cost is amazing. You must go through water. Now the silt in the Luan River is getting thicker and the navigation capacity is getting worse and worse. This undoubtedly greatly affects the water transportation! I hope everyone can raise some money and dredge the Luan River as soon as possible before the rainy season arrives, so that the Luan River can regain the ability to navigate the 300-ton flat-bottom ship!"
Someone asked in surprise: "How big is a 200-ton ship?"
"One ton of two thousand kilograms, three hundred tons, six hundred thousand kilograms!"
After Liu Mingyu explained this, everyone understood.
This is actually just a difference in the unit of measurement. Six hundred thousand kilograms is almost a thousand materials ship. A thousand materials ship is placed on the sea, which is nothing. The largest sealed boat in the Ming Dynasty had more than four thousand materials, but the lucky ship has been lost, which is very regrettable.
The Luan River water system is actually very developed. The Luan River has a long history and has received many tributaries along the way. The larger ones are the Xiaoluan River, Xingzhou River, Eson River, Wulie River, Laoniu River, Liu River, Bao River, Zhi River and Qinglong River. Among the tributaries, the largest basin area is the Eson River, and the Qinglong River has the largest length and water volume.
Like the Leopard River, Wulie River, Qinglong River, and Eson River, they can all be used as canals to undertake transportation. Of course, since nomadic peoples never manage water and are unwilling to manage water, most rivers are now severely silted and have been more managed.
Just like the Leopard River in Kuanhe City, the widest part is more than 3,500 meters wide, and the narrowest part is more than 50 meters. However, the water depth is not deep, which is suitable for dredging silt.
In order to clear these rivers, Liu Mingyu wanted to clear these rivers, in addition to improving water transportation capacity, it was also to increase the fertility of the fields in Daning. Due to the erosion of rainwater, fertilizers on the surface will flow into Hanoi to form silt. This silt is the best organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers are rich in a large number of beneficial substances, including a variety of organic acids, peptides, and rich nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It can not only provide comprehensive nutrition for crops, but also have a long fertilizer effect, which can increase and renew soil organic matter, promote microbial reproduction, improve soil physical and chemical properties and biological activities, and is the main nutrient for green food production.
In the absence of fertilizers, this method can only be adopted to increase grain production.
The work of dredging the silt in the Luan River and Luan River water systems can not only improve the transportation capacity of the Luan River, but also improve the fertility of the fields. It is also to save resources and remove river sand from the river. This is a good building material.
Now that Daning has begun to develop leapfrogly, the importance of water transportation has begun to highlight again, and it is time to clean up the silt of the Luan River. The Transportation Bureau said that the plan to clear the Luan River has been proposed long ago and construction can be started immediately.
Liu Mingyu raised four issues at the meeting. The first is to increase the construction of primary schools in all counties and counties in the country, followed by balancing the development of agriculture, industry, business, and business, and the second is to propose the project of unblocking the Luanhe River, and finally proposed to improve printing and encourage businessmen to donate books to the school.
Just when Liu Mingyu was developing rapidly with the new Daning Strategic Pacification Envoy, located in Weixian County, Datong Prefecture, Bao Chengxian, dressed as a Han merchant, hurriedly walked through the streets and alleys with a few followers to the Fan Prefecture.
Along the way, Bao Chengxian noticed that Wei County seemed to be a little deserted. In previous years, a large number of Mongolian merchants gathered in Wei County. The Mongolians brought cattle, sheep and horses, and the Koreans brought high-quality rice, Korean ginseng and wood. The Ming merchants also heard about the news and brought a large amount of food, cloth, iron tools, and merchants gathered. The grand occasion of goods was unique in the entire Datong.
However, in Weixian, the figures of North Korean merchants are almost extinct, and there are fewer Han and Mongolian merchants, giving people a feeling that this is different from the past.
The Liu Family Courtyard in Wei County is extraordinary. From a distance, it is even more magnificent than the Jiannu Palace in Shenyang City. The entire courtyard is in the shape of a double "Xi" character, divided into eight courtyards, twenty-four small courtyards, and four hundred and seventy-four houses. It is surrounded by fully enclosed blue brick walls of more than three meters high. The gate is a city gate-style hole, which is a large mansion with the architectural style of traditional northern folk houses.
Bao Chengxian was from Shanxi, and was born into a general. Before joining Jiannu, he was also a wealthy man worth 100,000 taels. At this time, when he got closer, he realized the grand momentum of the Fan family mansion.
Bao Chengxian walked in under the guidance of the doorman. When he passed by the dust yard, a girl's laughter came from inside. Bao Chengxian looked through the flower wall and looked at more than a dozen girls with colorful figures, rippling on the swing in the yard.
Bao Chengxian looked at these girls and immediately understood what Fan Yongdou meant, which was to bribe himself. After all, during this period, Fan Yongdou had made several big deals. He first bought steel, carriages, muskets, and various weapons from Liu Mingyu, and was robbed by the cavalry under Lin Danhan. Not only did he lose more than 2,000 armed servants of the hired staff, but he also lost as many as one million taels of silver.
Later, the salt and grain sent away by Wei County were also robbed, which caused Fan Yongdou to suffer heavy losses. To make matters worse, Huang Taiji suffered a great loss in Yanhu Town and urgently needed supplements. This time he came here to represent Huang Taiji to punish Fan Yongdou.
These batches of goods worth more than 2 million taels of silver, 30% of which are as much as 600,000 taels of silver, are big gold coins. This money is not lost inexplicably. Fan Yongdou will give an explanation no matter what.
Although the girl in the courtyard was amazing, when thinking about her errands, Bao Chengxian sighed faintly and said, "Where is Mr. Fan?"
Seeing that Bao Chengxian had no intention of getting started, as Fan Yongdou's Changsui and thinks, Qiao Wenshan sighed and thought to himself: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to deal with!"
"Master, please come inside!"
Qiao Wenshan led Bao Chengxian along the flower hall, through a patio, and came to the warm pavilion where Fan Yongdou lived. There were still thirty or forty steps away, and then he heard Fan Yongdou's roar from the warm pavilion: "These damn Mongolian Taozi, I want to tear them into pieces..."
In less than a year, the caravan was robbed and lost more than 2 million taels of silver. Even if there was a mountain of gold, it would not be able to withstand how to consume it.
Fan Yongdou's mentality collapsed. He was throwing things in the warm chalet, and the sound of porcelain breaking came from time to time.
"Mr. Fan seems...it's a little angry!"
