Chapter 89 Talk to the Father at the Time of Delivering the Rent
Chapter 89: Say to Father when Giving Rent
When Li Xun arrived at Shuiyun, the old man was indeed waiting for him. Before Li Xun could speak, the old man asked first: "What good thing have you brought back this time?"
"The white folds are made of cloth woven with white folds and filled in it. The bedding made is warmer than the wooden cotton, softer than the fur we filled in, and comfortable than the linen. It is something we used to grow as flowers."
Li Xun was a little excited when he spoke, mainly because when he came over, it was a little cold, so he spread the mattress in the car and covered the quilt on his body, which felt so comfortable.
The old man was slightly stunned and said, "White folds? Can this be weaved into cloth? Can it be stuffed into a cotton? But the white folds have seeds inside, which is not easy to work with. You can choose the newly renovated land for planting. Every small bone flower has seeds. Just picking this seed requires a lot of manpower. It is not cost-effective. If you really plant it, it will cost the people and cause money."
Li Xun also suddenly thought of this. There were seeds inside. How did Xiaobao and Juanjuan do it when they tried the thing they stepped on? Once they stepped on it, the seeds inside came out. It turned out that the key point was that thing.
Thinking of this, Li Xun immediately said: "The Zhang family made a thing that can be transferred. They put the picked white folds in it. Once they turn it, there will be no seeds. Or not planting? If they plant, they will occupy the field. If they don't plant, it would be a pity."
"If the ordinary people cannot use it for a while, the price of silk will drop after the wealthy family uses it. Well, this matter has to be made. Choose a place to try planting for a year to encourage land reclamation."
The old man thought more about it. The white folds just came out. Everyone will find it fresh when they first come into contact with it. The price will not be low. It is waiting for ordinary people to use it. It will take at least a few years unless you find a suitable place to plant white folds in large quantities.
Li Xun didn't care about that much, he wanted to go home and give his family something to him as soon as possible. When he came out, in addition to the old man's ten sets, he asked for two more sets. He left one of the five sets and had the rest. Someone now helped collect it. If he collected ten kilograms, he could make one set.
The originally worthless white folding piece has become a treasure at this time, baby?
"Yes, Xiaobao asked me to help him harvest more seeds from white stacks. He wanted to..."
"His family thought of finding a suitable place to plant in large quantities in the south. This is the Zhang family, which is preparing for the future. Before they have passed, they have already thought of how to improve the lives of local people. They plant this thing for the people. They collect it at a high price and make quilts and sell it, and no one will compensate.
If you can learn this kind of ability at all times...? It's a pity that I can't go with you anymore. Don't you want to go with me and take a look? No matter where the Zhang family goes, miracles will happen, so it's good to see it."
The old man understood the Zhang family’s plans as soon as Li Xun mentioned it.
Li Xun was helpless, "I want to go with you too. It seems impossible. Old Shangshu, the Zhang family is still spending money recently to spend money on Linxian around Huayuan County. I don't know what Zhang Zhong thought. It was 40,000 yuan before, but he probably spent another 20,000 yuan these days. I said to open a few more supermarkets together, and they have no money. If they do such things, the money is like flowing water."
"Spend money to the surrounding counties? They never told me that my nephew mentioned it once, saying that he wanted to repair the roads in the surrounding counties so that it would facilitate Huayuan transportation. The surrounding five counties are next to Huayuan County, Meiyuan, Sanyuan, Chunhua, Yunyang, and Fuping. There is a Sanshui County here. This road is open. Tell me what they have done?"
The old man thought about it for a while, but after all, it was not normal, but as normal as it was too normal. The Zhang family thought that it was a waste of water, and it was impossible to spend 60,000 yuan in vain.
Li Xun told the old man one by one what he learned, and he collected handicrafts and opened the game shops around him, collected poultry and livestock raised by the people, and sold them back very cheaply, helping with road construction, renting land and hiring people, etc.
"So, the other counties are all good now? Zhang Zhong is dedicated to serving the people. He not only helps the people of Huayuan County, but also does not have the heart to see the people around him have a bad life." The old man thought about it according to the normal thinking and said.
"Yes, it's more beneficial to the country. Zhang Zhong submitted the memorandum first this time. Huayuan County will pay five times the usual rent and tax this year, and the surrounding counties have to submit the same memorandum. As a result, it doubled, and it was also a loss for the 60,000 guan spent by the Zhang family, otherwise the surrounding county magistrate would have to die of anxiety."
Li Xun now understands this aspect. The Zhang family’s money has driven the surrounding economy and invested directly. It is still a purely consumer-style investment. Although it is not as effective as basic investment and construction, this method can be effective quickly. Otherwise, how could the surrounding counties collect so many things in a short time?
The old man laughed at this time, "The people in the yamen of the counties around him should hate and be reluctant to let go of Zhang Zhong, right? But what is the use of Zhang Zhong's move? Don't you want to leave and continue to stay in Huayuan County, and you can't bear to leave the county you built?
Well, this is possible. Even if others want him to leave, the people of Huayuan County and the people of the surrounding counties will jointly sign and keep him, the superiors will have to consider it. But they should discuss this with me and wait for a while and I will write a letter to ask, "You can go back first with the quilt."
Li Xun also meant this. It would be useless to stay there. He brought his own things with him, kept the old man's things, and took a boat.
When he left, the old man thought for a while, "No, no, the Zhang family wants to stay, why do you need so many white stacked seeds? It is no longer necessary to let Li Xun build a ship. I don't know if the Zhang family can say it."
In the Huayuan County government office, Zhang Zhong took out more than 1,000 guan of money. This was the Zhang family's money. He exchanged a large amount of nitrogen fur from one or two counties and sent it to the warehouse. He couldn't sit still. He couldn't bear to invest the 60,000 guan in other places. He spent it all in the surrounding counties. What was his son's plan?
Zhang Zhong thought about it and was about to ask his son for a clear question. He raised his legs and walked backwards. When he found his son and daughter-in-law, the two were picking up fallen leaves there, competing with each other with the shanks of the fallen leaves to see who could break the other's petiole.
"Dad, you are here, aren't busy in front of you?" Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said hello.
Zhang Zhong looked at his son, then at his daughter-in-law, picked up a leaf, walked to Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Compare with dad."
As soon as the two of them tried their best, Zhang Xiaobao fought four games in a row, and was suddenly cut off and praised: "Dad, you are still powerful."
"What's so great about me? I'm so great that I can't guess what you want your family to send money out. What are you planning to tell me about it?" Zhang Zhong threw away the leaves in his hand and asked.
"Dad, how can we give money? Didn't we buy things back? If the road is not repaired, buying things will delay things. When you go to work, we will take all those things and ship them to other places to sell them. We will sell them all the way. Where there are the same things, we will collect them, and take them to take out if they don't have them.
When we get to the place, we can earn at least twice as much money as we can buy roads and rent land for others. It is only more than 20,000 yuan. There is also the money to buy various materials. 5,000 yuan. If we sell the goods, it will be 70,000 yuan. Wouldn't we make 10,000 yuan? In addition, in winter, even if we make less money, we have to have a few thousand yuan.
You can learn to grow elsewhere, but without our experience, we must be still exploring, so our vegetables will be sold to the capital. It is impossible for the capital to grow like us, right? There are many people there, and many people do not rely on farming to make a living, nor do they have land.
I guess, this winter, our vegetables can make ten thousand coins. This is the rule of business. It is difficult to make one cent for one cent, and it is also difficult to make one cent for one. It is too easy to make one hundred coins with one hundred coins. I can make ten times or twenty times, but it is impossible to make ten thousand coins with one thousand coins. It is easier to make three or four thousand coins with one hundred coins."
Zhang Xiaobao patiently explained to his father.
Zhang Zhong felt it made sense after hearing this, "So, do you have to continue to spend money to buy it in the future?"
"Buy it. Before you leave, we'd better spend 100,000 pounds. Our rice can be used as seeds. When people in the surrounding counties and Huayuan County have money, they will naturally buy our seeds. They can't be sold as much as last year. If a pound of seeds costs twenty cents, how much will it cost?"
Zhang Xiaobao continued to calculate, Zhang Zhong calculated his own land slightly. If he could really sell it for this price, three farms and nearly 20,000 mu of land. The output of the latter two farms is not as high as the original farms, but not much. On average, the output should be three stones per mu.
Twenty thousand mu of acres is 60,000 shi, one stone is 100 kilograms, that is two jin of coins, and sixty thousand stone is 120,000 jin of coins? So much?
Zhang Xiaobao knew what his father was thinking when he saw his father's expression. "Dad, there is not that much, how can 120,000 guan be possible? The ones from Shimoda and Nakata cannot be used as seeds. The two farms added later. If Uenta can be used as seeds, it can only cost ten cents per kilogram. We have to agree with the buyer.
It would be great if you could get 40,000 guan with the money and grain for selling seeds. Are you counting it as more than 20,000 acres of land? There are not so many, with some mountain and some hills. The hilly hills from one end to the other, walking three miles, occupying more than a thousand acres at once.”
Zhang Zhong reacted now, not as much as he imagined. When the output there was reported in two days, he would know how many it was. The yield was calculated separately based on the upper, middle and lower fields. After all, only upper fields are used as seeds.
"Then do what my son said, continue to buy, and sell the seeds to them while buying. Sanshui County and Huayuan County should keep enough. Next year, Sanshui County will still have a total rice. This year, some people say that Sanshui County's grain yield is really not usually 20% more per mu, and a lot of them are, especially those who rent other people's land to plant, and after paying the rent, these 20% are the remaining 50% more."
"Dad, then you can continue to spend money. When you wait for the tax to be sent to the capital before the New Year, your child is looking for you." Zhang Xiaobao said to his father.
Waiting for Zhang Zhong to leave, the two of them continued to play.
After going through a lot of hardships, Li Xun finally collected more than 300 kilograms of white buns. It was not because there were fewer white buns, but when the harvest was taken, many of the cotton balls had been blown away by the wind. If you go out to collect them when the harvest was taken by the Zhang family, you can collect them more than ten times more.
After picking off the impurities and taking off the seeds, there were still about 290 kilograms left. Zhang Xiaobao left 90 kilograms as processing fee and made thirty sets of bedding for Li Xun in a reduced amount.
Li Xun scolded Zhang Xiaobao for being so mean, and had to accept this. After all, it was a lot of manpower to sprinkle. The most important thing was the thing that could remove seeds. If you didn't use your hands to take them out, you would be so exhausted.
"Xiaobao, can you tell me how to make the seed-removing thing? I will plant it next year." Li Xun asked a little embarrassedly. He also knew how precious this thing was.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaobao agreed very happily, "Okay, I'll give you one, you'll know what's going on after you have someone tear it down. If someone asks you for something, tell someone, and if you ask me, I'll tell you to keep it a secret and ask them to find you."
"Really? Your family doesn't want to take something for more benefits?" Li Xun asked in disbelief.
"My family wants life even more. Don't talk about this everywhere. After my family planted it there next year, you will also plant it here. If you produce white buns, you will sell it for money. Only then will someone come to you and make an extra year of money, my family will be content."
Zhang Xiaobao still knows what can be kept at home and what must be given away. Not to mention now, but at that time, how many richest men were dealt with because of disobedience? It is not easy to find some crime?
Li Xun happily agreed and took a flower rig to help people study it. Zhang Xiaobao suddenly felt a little uninterested, and thought about what would happen in a few days, and suddenly became happy.
When the Chinese New Year is still around, some places have begun to send taxes to the capital. Some will only start next year. Huayuan County is close to it, so it will be sent this year. Other counties nearby have also shipped to the ship at the same time.
Zhang Zhong originally arranged for others to go there, but Zhang Xiaobao found his father at this time.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. This time you have to take over the things you want to personally take over. It is best to talk to their county magistrate and the magistrate. This is how it is."
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he took the hand behind him to the front, and the paper was full of words.
