Chapter 1330 Yuebu (Page 1/1)

"New settlement method?" Man Chong became more and more surprised. Seeing this whimsical combat plan, he was already curious about the young people in the Military Planning Department. Now that a new settlement method has come out, he can't help but be interested. In a sense, these young people in the Military Planning Department are his potential competitors, and many people will leave Muzhou County.

Regarding the money shortage, he has been considering this issue but has not found an effective solution. It seems that the Military Scheme Office has also noticed this issue and tried to solve it. The young people do not sit in the Military Scheme Office every day and think about it. They always pay attention to people's livelihood.

"Have you heard of Yuebu?"

Man Chong shook his head. He had never heard of it, but he could guess it by the name. "Cloth produced in Wu and Yue?"

Xu Sheng smiled. It seemed that Man Chong was indeed a practical person, with strong abilities, but his knowledge was average. He didn't know the story of Lu Hong meeting the emperor in a single dress in Yue cloth. Of course, he didn't know that he had heard of it because he was involved in this plan.

He introduced the relevant situation of Yuebu.

Yue cloth is a kind of cloth produced in Wu and Yue. It is thicker than ordinary linen cloth. It absorbs sweat in summer and keeps warm in winter. It can be used for both things for people who cannot afford silk. For people with sufficient financial resources, this Yue cloth also has the advantage that silk does not have. It will not stick to your body because of sweat, and it will feel more elegant, which is in line with the demeanor of Confucian scholars and celebrities. This kind of cloth was originally woven by the people of Kuaiji, with limited output and part of the tribute. The remaining amount is very small and it is almost impossible to leave Yue. After the building of the Wooden School in Wujun, the improved loom was introduced into Kuaiji and a weaving workshop was built. The output increased several times. It was urgently needed to broaden the sales route. This matter was reported to the county magistrate Gu Yong, and finally reported to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is still the prefect of Kuaiji, and he has the responsibility and obligation to solve this problem.

Yuebu has excellent quality and was not worried about sales at first, but the world was in chaos. Even the three states of Jingyu and Yang under Sun Ce's rule was not rich. Although Yuebu's output has increased, the cost is higher than that of linen. The selling price is too low, it will affect profits and cannot expand reproduction. Sun Ce handed over this task to the Military Strategy Office, but the Military Strategy Office has not found an ideal solution until this time it proposed a plan to lure Yuan Shao.

In the entire plan, Xu Sheng's plan of virtuality and reality is an indispensable part, but this link has a fatal flaw: it is the slack farming period, and the people have no time to serve, and forcibly recruiting will arouse public annexation and thus attract Yuan Shao's attention. Because of He Kui's affairs, Man Chong cleared the land annexation in Chen State in advance, and the powerful family of Chen State had a great opinion. With this opportunity, they would cause trouble and cause even greater storms.

It is necessary to recruit people to build dams and accumulate water, but not to arouse public anger. There is only one way: spend money to hire, and to use high prices to attract people to work overtime, which can not only improve efficiency, but also calm public anger.

High-priced employment has caused another problem: paying with food may lead to an increase in the food gap, and the people have more food, which can easily attract Yuan Shao to send people to rob. With money, Sun Ce did not have so much cash at all.

The world has been short of money for a long time, especially in the past decade. Due to economic development and uneven wealth, a large amount of copper coins have accumulated in aristocratic families. In the wealthy warehouses, the money circulated on the market has become less and less, resulting in the rampant stolen minting. The flow of bad money into the market further pushed up the scarcity of good coins. When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in order to solve the problem of money shortage, he once sold bronze people, Zhong Qian and existing Wuzhu coins and changed to mint small coins, but he was not an economic person and ended up making a mess.

Now Sun Ce also faces this problem, but he is not alone. He has a military strategy office. Several military strategy offices have an idea: use Yue cloth as a reward and send it to the people who are recruiting to build dams. Yue cloth has practical value, and these people can leave Yue cloth for their own use and improve their family's clothing. Yue cloth also has superior performance. Aristocratic families and powerful people will like it very much. If the people want to resell Yue cloth, they will not worry about no one taking over. Before this, they can first let Wu Yue merchants sell a small amount of Yue cloth in the Chen area to build a reputation and raise prices, creating a situation where Yue cloth is scarce and in short supply, ensuring that the people who resell will not suffer losses and will not worry about sales. Maybe they can sell at a high price and get some more benefits.

After hearing this, Man Chong applauded. This method is good, and he won three goals in one fell swoop. It not only solved the employment problem, avoided the shortage of money, and expanded the sales of Yuebu. Specifically for Chen State, there is another benefit: Chen Xiangluo Tong is from Wujun. He is familiar with Yuebu and loves the people as his son. He will not refuse public and private interests. He not only won the interests of the people, but also contributed to his hometown.

"It seems that this plan is done very carefully, and almost everything that can be considered is considered, with all the details." Man Chong was very grateful. "The young man is terrifying. After several years, the military plan office will not know how many officials and good guards will be issued, and peace is expected."

Xu Sheng smiled but said nothing. He heard the pressure from Man Chong's words. Sun Ce was bold in employing people, only with ability, and didn't care how young it was. Yang Xiu became the prefect of Yuzhang, which was a clear signal. Man Chong himself was only in his early twenties, but if he didn't work hard, he would soon become an old man and be replaced by new talents, and be prepared to retire like Feng Fang and others.

Man Chong did not delay any further. He sent someone to contact Luo Tong and asked him to do literature and support the country in the name of the Prime Minister, Yangxia and Yang and Xia counties to recruit the people to build dams, and properly arrange the busy farming industry to minimize the losses as much as possible. At the same time, in order to ensure the physical fitness of the people who are recruiting, a large amount of food and wine and meat can be prepared.

As Man Chong expected, after understanding the payment method, Luo Tong had almost no hesitation and agreed. He personally rushed to Yangxia, Fule, and ran around, issued orders to explain the recruitment conditions to the people. Chen Wangchong went to the capital to serve as Zongzheng, and Chen's children traveled to Nanyang. Luo Tong was the most prestigious person in Chen State. Both aristocratic families and ordinary people trusted him. With such generous recruitment conditions, he quickly recruited more than 10,000 men and women, gathered outside Fule City and roaming the canal.

Almost at the same time, Liang Xiang Lu Fan also received a similar order. However, something happened to him. He gave the opportunity to Qiao Rui. Qiao Rui directly transferred 10,000 troops to build a dam, swallowed Yuebu who was allocated to Lu Fan, hoarded it, and prepared to resell it. However, his appearance was too ugly, and even the officials in the prefect's office wanted to get a piece of the pie, but the officials expose the news.

Lu Fan guarded Sui Yang for several years. The Sui Yang family has always supported him very much. At least no one jumped out to oppose him. Now there are such great benefits, but Lu Fan does not give them any of them to please Qiao Rui. They can't swallow this. The Sui Yang family headed by Qiao Rui's brother Qiao Yu came to Lu Fan and protested to Lu Fan. They told Lu Fan that if you can't share the rain and dew and share the kindness, don't look for us in the future, and Qiao Rui will take care of it.

Lu Fan made a mistake for a moment and regretted it. He did not dare to ask him to ask Qiao Rui for those benefits. He could not bear the consequences even if he ignored the Suiyang family, especially at this time. In desperation, he had to ask Sun Ce for instructions, hoping that Sun Ce could allocate some Yue Bu share to allow him to appease the Suiyang family.
