Chapter 529 The happiness of children
This is the consequence of Liu Mingyu's intentional increase in salary. Otherwise, according to He Qiushan's intention, each household will be responsible for food and accommodation, and can be paid for a few taels of silver a year.
The breeding industry does not employ too many people, and later scientific breeding methods are adopted. These ducks come out for a walk during the day and return to the duck house at night. The duck eggs born will automatically roll into the wooden trough. One person pushes a flatbed truck and collects the duck eggs directly.
Zhu Weiti asked in confusion: "Since raising cattle, sheep, and pigs are so profitable, why don't others raise them?"
Speaking of economy, this is Liu Mingyu's strength.
He smiled faintly and said, "Because of the cost, we don't think that the cost of raising poultry and livestock is not high, but the initial investment is quite large. You have also seen that the chicken coops here are all built with blue bricks and gray tiles. They are better than ordinary people's houses, and have good ventilation. There is also a fire wall. When it is cold in winter, you can ignite the fire wall to increase the temperature of the chicken coop and prevent the chickens and ducks from freezing to death. Such a chicken coop can raise tens of thousands to tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, and thousands of taels of silver are required."
"Even if ordinary people don't have money, but those landlords have money, can they still raise them?"
Zhu Weiti looked at Liu Mingyu in confusion and asked, "There are so many nobles in the capital, but it seems that they do not raise chickens and ducks like this?"
"This matter is simple to say, but it is actually very complicated!"
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "The economy of the Ming Dynasty is a small peasant economy. They have poultry and livestock like rich families, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other poultry and livestock, and they don't need to buy it. It's okay to raise cattle, especially sheep, pigs, and other animals. They have a large number of breeding, and there is no market consumption at all. The restaurants and restaurants in the capital have their own breeding farms. The meat is too expensive and not everyone can afford it. The situation caused is that rich people can afford it. They own it and do not need to buy it. Ordinary people can't afford it!"
"Then I made more than 400,000 taels of silver here last year. What's going on?"
Zhu Weiti felt even more incredible.
"Because, I have a market and channels!"
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "In Liujia Villa, there are seven or eight thousand students. These children need to eat two eggs and one duck egg every day. There are five or six thousand carriages in the Quanshi business. These coachmen and servants do all their hard work. The wages I give them are also high. They are willing to pay to improve their lives. We have a canned farm, which can make chicken, duck, fish and meat into cans!"
In addition, the Liu family's breeding industry adopts a circular economy breeding method, which is cheaper than chickens and ducks raised with grain in terms of cost. Merchants are all profit-seeking. They find that the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps they raise, which are not as cheap as Liu Mingyu sold, so they gradually changed their purchasing methods.
Overall, Liu Ji's breeding industry won by volume and cultivated the market by itself, and gradually became the largest meat supplier around the capital.
"This is not complicated. Other big players can learn this way? Why don't they learn it?"
"This is because of the Ming Dynasty's fucking system!"
Zhu Weiti frowned slightly. This was the first time she heard Liu Mingyu swearing.
"What does this have to do with the system?"
"Of course it's related. Those gentry will use their identities to seize power. Ordinary people have no power or power. The richer they live, the more miserable they are exploited!"
Liu Mingyu smiled faintly and said, "I am different from ordinary people. When Liujia Villa was not developed, no one paid attention to it. When they discovered it, I was already the Daning Strategic Pacification Envoy, the General of Daning, holding tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hand, and was deeply favored by His Majesty, let alone..."
Liu Mingyu did not say it clearly. This was actually Cao Huachun's credit, because Liu Mingyu and him were all ally of a certain relationship. Eunuch Cao was extremely powerful, so naturally no one dared to offend Liu Mingyu and Cao Huachun to force Liu Family Villa.
Now, Liu Mingyu led the Liu family army to defeat Jiannu, and became the Liaoning Strategic Envoy, the son-in-law, and the crown prince Shaobao. No one was willing to offend Liu Mingyu, a real power faction.
The Ming Dynasty is now sores on the head and pus is flowing from the soles of the feet - it is rotten. The wind of corruption has penetrated into all aspects of this old empire, eroding the foundation of the empire. The last bit of execution ability left by this empire is used to plunder the people's wealth.
Zhu Weiti didn't think so much. In her heart, she had food, fields, shelters of chickens and ducks, herds of cattle and sheep, and she had countless money in her money warehouse, that was enough.
After dinner, Zhu Weiti and Liu Mingyu started walking in the villa.
This place can make Liu Mingyu feel more at ease. After all, the population of Liujia Villa has been controlled and can go out but not enter.
Those who came in were all the people who suffered from the Jiannu military disaster. Some of the people retreated because Jiannu retreated and returned to their homes, while the remaining people stayed.
Of course, the people who left immediately regretted it because, whether it was a tenant, a craftsman, or a resident of Liujia Villa, everyone's children could go to school in the primary school of Liujia Villa. Not only did they not charge tuition fees to go to school, but they also took care of meals and distributed school uniforms.
This made many people jealous, but unfortunately, they would no longer enjoy this kind of treatment after they left.
Human nature is so strange. They will not cherish what they have and what others have. If they have and others don’t have, then they will be very proud and cherish.
"Greetings to the prince, to the wife!"
Everyone bowed wherever Liu Mingyu and Zhu Weiti passed by.
Liu Mingyu asked his personal soldiers to bring some fruit candy and distribute it to the children. Because there were too many children, only three or five were used for each person.
Zhu Weiti looked at Liu Mingyu coaxing the child very happily, with a happy smile on her face. She stepped forward and asked, "The prince consort likes the child very much?"
"That's nature, children are the future, and children are the hope!"
Zhu Weiti's face turned slightly red.
Liu Mingyu saw this scene: "Or, let's have a baby!"
Zhu Weiti's head almost dropped to her chest: "Mr. Concubine, how can you say this..."
"I understand, go back and we have a baby!"
"Ignore you!"
Zhu Weiti stomped her feet and turned around and walked towards the villa where she was staying.
Early the next morning, Liu Mingyu woke up the noise of the children. Zhu Weiti was no longer in bed. What this little princess is best at getting up early.
Unlike other places, Danidian is a wetland, which can be said to be very precious. Liu Mingyu's villa actually covers only three or four acres of land. This is the smallest one in the courtyard built by Liu Mingyu.
Apart from a wall, there is the third primary school in Liujia Villa. Liu Mingyu got up and went to the roof to see that the children walked into the school one after another, and it seemed that class was beginning.
However, instead of opening the books in the classroom as they imagined, they put their schoolbags on their seats and then walked out of the classroom to line up.
The playground is not small. The children started practicing boxing under the leadership of a teacher on the playground. Six or seven hundred children were wearing neat school uniforms and began to practice boxing. The tender voices made loud shouts, and they advanced and retreated at the same time, swinging their fists and feet at the same time, retracting them, full of vitality.
Smoke from cooking chimneys began to come out, and the farmers carried farm tools, hoes, forks, axes, saws, etc., and they began a day's work.
In this era, people are all peasant-like cunning. They do not eat breakfast at their homes, but go to the factory in advance, and there is free breakfast in the factory. They actually know that there is no free breakfast in fact. The so-called free breakfast means that they will do an extra hour of work.
However, these people did not care, but instead talked and laughed and were very happy.
The food in the villa was getting stronger and stronger. Zhu Weiti was preparing breakfast for Liu Mingyu. She suddenly realized that she seemed to like this place. It was such a strange place. Not only was it clean, but it was full of vitality.
Even more energetic than the capital, the people here seem to have endless energy to do it, and they are in a hurry when they work, which is in sharp contrast with the numbness and indifference in the capital. It seems that Liu Mingyu is using magic to replace everyone's souls and replace them with his soul, making them all become the Optimist school.
Zhu Weiti actually didn't know that this was not Liu Mingyu's magic, but the ability to make money.
Without money, ordinary workers in a farm work hard for a year, and there are still more than a dozen taels of silver left in addition to food, accommodation, and clothing. This is the biggest motivation for the people like them.
The living standards here are good, three meals a day, and you can eat them with your stomach open every meal. The meals are much better than ordinary landlords. Landlords and old money cannot eat eggs every day, so drink milk, right?
But, they can.
The people living in Liujia Villa feel that they are living in heaven.
If they don’t cherish such a life, they will be punished by God!
In Liujia Villa, the happiest people are actually not those adult men and women. Liu Mingyu's principle has always been very simple and does not raise idle people.
Even if they are physically weak, they have to take on the work within their ability. They are older than those old men and mothers who are fifty or sixty years old and cannot do physical work. They are asked to act as members of their respective committees, responsible for investigating disputes between neighbors or checking out foreign populations.
The advantage of being old is that no matter how young people are, they dare not attack these elderly people, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.
The happiest people are actually these children, especially those girls. If it were not for Liu Mingyu's influence, many girls would be abandoned or drowned.
This is a tragedy of the times and a helpless choice. Once the people cannot survive, the first thing they deal with is their daughter. Who has ever given birth to favor boys over girls since ancient times?
