Chapter Twelve Miscellaneous (Part 2)
"The emperor of Panyu has become increasingly sick and weaker recently. I think soon after, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the court's harsh taxes have come, and the people will become increasingly poor. You need to recruit more people. There is no shortage of land in the mansion, but there is still a shortage of farmhouses."
Li Jia looked up at the weather, stood up, and said without hesitation to the court thousands of miles away.
"Yes-" Manager Tian's face looked joyful, blinked, and agreed happily.
The increase in Dingkou will naturally bring more benefits to the mansion, and according to the Langjun's assessment, his own reward will naturally increase.
The Southern Han Dynasty had a lot of tyranny and a lot of tyrannical taxes. The household registration under the court was naturally unbearable, and digging corners of the court became a favorite thing for major families.
After all, in Guangdong and Guangxi, there are few people and many animals, and the fields are extremely surplus, and the eloquence of the word is the standard for determining wealth.
When the Southern Han Dynasty was founded, there were 130,000 households, and forty years had passed. With the population fleeing south, the household registration under the control of the imperial court increased by 40,000, which was simply an insult to the fertility of the Han people.
There are 100 people in Feihu City and 500 people in Feilong City, plus 100 guards, the military power directly controlled by the Li Mansion reached 700 people. If more than 2,000 town troops led by Master Li, the Li family, as the number one wealthy family in Jianwu Town, is really worthy of their reputation!
The financial resources required to raise hundreds of people who are full of labor are amazing, so the income at this time is extremely important.
"Mr. Langjun, the items in the mansion in February are as follows: the monthly income of shops in various places is nearly 2,116 guan, more than 300 guan to go to sea, five hundred guan, salt and iron are nearly 1,000 guan, porcelain is 300 guan, brewing wine, vinegar, tea, and grain are all over the place, and the total income is nearly 8,000 guan in February."
A tall and thin manager said softly with a faint smile, looking confident.
He could not help but feel so confident that he had earned 8,000 guan a month in the mansion. As a manager who specializes in financial management, he naturally had the capital to be proud.
"Very good. I'll make a detailed note later and let Inspector Zhang see!" Li Jia said casually, laughing, and laughter suddenly sounded in the pavilion, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
The inspector is naturally a joke, but it illustrates the importance of his responsibilities, so a black-faced man solemnly agreed.
"Mr. Langjun, the linen weaving factory you ordered has started construction. Due to the cheap price and comfortable fabric, the demand for Xingwangfu has increased significantly, and it is expected to reach a thousand tents next month!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Li!" Hearing the income, Li Jia's eyes became much softer, and he praised this tall, thin, hard-working and high-profile business manager.
The Li Mansion's trade throughout Jianwu Town requires him to take care of it. The work is extremely cumbersome and important. If something goes wrong, life in the mansion will be difficult.
"However, the linen weaving factory has been established, so the silk weaving factory needs to be prepared as soon as possible and encourage tenants from all villages to raise silkworms and plant mulberry trees as soon as possible. The maritime merchants in Xingwang Mansion are eager for these!" Thinking of this, Li Langjun had a smile on his face.
On the Maritime Silk Road, there is very little silk production in the entire Guangdong and Guangxi region. Merchants need to travel to Fujian and Zhejiang to deliver it to those maritime merchants with great appetite, but it is still very tight. Even his wealthy families have only a few silk clothes.
Therefore, with the convenience of sea routes, the silk weaving industry has great potential.
Sitting on the Maritime Silk Road and as the transit center, the Southern Han court was extravagant and extremely evil, constantly harvesting every copper plate in the pockets of the people, resulting in many fugitives and wealthy families. After only 40 years of its founding, it was incredible that it was a sign of a country that was destroyed.
"What the husband said is that it is not a day to grow mulberry and silkworms. And the crude farmer, how can he know how to raise silkworms?" Facing the husband, Manager Li, then looked bitter. Why didn't he take the words of the husband to heart? He started preparing half a year ago, but the tools were in place, but the cocoons were difficult to collect.
"The silk reeling truck is easy to run. Several carpenters from the north have some experience, but if they set up a silk reeling factory, there will be no cocoons to collect!"
Upon hearing this, Li Langjun felt very moved. Lingnan is worthy of being a wild land, and there are not even many farmers raising silkworms. If this is in the Central Plains, it would be a joke.
"Manager of the Field, can anyone in the village be able to raise silkworms?"
"Mr. Langjun, several farmhouses from the north can raise silkworms, even the silkworm pupa and mulberry branches are a little, but although the mulberry trees are fast, they still need time to cultivate them." Manager Tian listened in his ear and responded quickly.
"How long will it take to cultivate mulberry forests!" Li Jia's eyes were very serious when staring at the manager Tian.
"Mulberry trees take half a year to be completed, and they are cultivated by branches. It is very particular. Only today will one hundred acres of mulberry forest be cultivated!" Under the prickly eyes of the Lang Jun, Manager Tian wiped his sweat, calculated slightly in his heart, and gave a barely time limit.
"Okay!" Li Langjun withdrew his gaze and was reluctant to feel satisfied. It was not as easy as he imagined to develop commerce and agriculture, and Lingnan was unexpectedly barren.
" Raising silkworms and silk reeling is a craft. Let the farmers in the northern region give more advice to our farmers and don't be stingy with rewards. If you teach a hundred silkworms and give them a hundred acres of land, you also need to choose a good location for the mulberry forest. Stay away from those barbarians to avoid being destroyed. The mulberry forest should also be sent to serve..."
So, Li Langjun began his own long speech. At present, the only one that could worry about him was this silk reeling factory. This was a long-term transaction, which was enough to make the Li family prosperous for hundreds of years, and he had to worry about him.
The rest of the story was nothing more than a few more maids in the mansion, which family and friends had funerals, and how many wastelands were opened, so there were naturally regulations there. Li Jia just listened and gave a few words of instructions, and half a time passed quietly.
At the end of preparation, the big butler in charge of the entire Li Mansion courtyard, that is, An Guo's father and the old butler's son, lowered his head, and Li Xingye said respectfully:
"I came in yesterday. Do I need to build a villa and arrange someone to serve you!"
The other housekeepers also looked up, raised their ears and listened, and looked at Li Langjun's statement seriously. The birth of a villa involves several managers, not to mention that this is the appointment of a small manager. There are many people in their arms, and they are eager to see them at this time.
"No need, my elder sister is too young, just stay in our yard! Just hire a few more wet nurses!"
Whether it is on TV or my own feelings, there are many dirty things in the mansion. If you are not careful, your elder sister will die, but it will be better to keep it yourself.
"Yes!" Li Xingye agreed respectfully.
"Let's go!" Li Langjun stood up, stretched his body, waved to the group of people, and yawned.
"Mr. You're almost ready to go. Do you have lunch?" An Guo finished his work and happened to leave. He ran to the front and asked quickly.
"That's right, go back and look at my elder sister. Your eldest father is old and can't work alone!"
"The eldest father is so happy that he is very happy. He was happy all day yesterday and complained that the husband didn't give birth to a young husband!" An Guo smiled honestly and touched his head.
