Chapter 189 Not enough money, not enough people
Chu Yuan took Gan Lai out, and Lao Yu reported to Chu Qing the situation of his trip to Tu Huerte.
Chu Qing smacked her lips after hearing this: "How dare you two brag! It's still four million jins! Our cotton field only has a total of 400,000 jins, okay?"
"Isn't there a military camp here? Anyway, the cotton here belongs to our family in the end!" Lao Yu disagreed.
"It's a good thing you confiscated their cotton, otherwise our family really wouldn't have that much money!" Chu Qing and Lao Yu calculated the accounts and felt that the money was still too little: "Our family still has so many mouths, and there are thousands of dollars outside.
work!"
"Boss, you don't have to worry even if you pay the money from the military camp. Our family will get the money back quickly!" Lao Yu said.
"There is still tax money left!" Chu Qing said, the end of the year will be in two months, is this the "New Year's Eve"?
"What are you afraid of? As I said before, you can get your money back quickly. With these cotton and wool supplies for Kyoto, and thousands of people from Jizhou weaving for you, we will be back in two months. Don't worry, this matter
I'll go make arrangements!" After that, Lao Yu went out to find Lao Zhao to assign tasks.
Now it's not that there's not enough money, it's that there's not enough people.
Wool weaving and cotton thread weaving are time-consuming tasks. In the era of backward industry, production could only be ensured by large numbers of people.
The servant of King Guli was right: cotton is not needed by people in one place or city. Our getting rich is not needed by people in one place or city!
Chu Qing wrote to Song Tingshan and Xu Guangze, asking them to help recruit farmers from all over Jizhou.
Then I wrote to the weaving workshop in northern Jizhou, asking the eight people responsible for managing the workers there to hand over their work and prepare to go to various counties for "pre-job training."
Xu Guangze was quite excited.
Chu Qing's "Baolu Group" in Wushu Village has not only recruited workers from three nearby villages in recent years, but also brought villagers from several nearby villages to work, making this remote and remote area begin to become lively and vibrant.
Later, farmers at the borders of four adjacent counties in northern Jizhou were organized, improving the economy of a thousand households.
Now, the whole county is about to take action. The busy farming season is over, and the people are now free. Every family can make some money, and the consumption in the county will rise to a new level.
A lot of tax money was collected in the first half of this year, and it seems that there will be another increase before the end of the year.
No, I have to show off this to my brother-in-law!
Not showing off! Song Tingshan took out Chu Qing's letter. The content of the letter was similar to the one given to Xu Guangze, except that he added the requirement to provide a training venue for eight stewards.
Song Tingshan was also happy: "Mr. Chu is not bad! When you get rich, don't forget your hometown!"
"Brother-in-law! You can't just recruit people everywhere! You have to wait until our county is full before recruiting others!" Xu Guangze quickly set the tone.
"What's your county! That's our state! As a person, you must have a pattern!" Song Tingshan corrected.
"We will talk about the pattern of the magistrate after I become the magistrate! You will issue a recruitment notice in five days. Let our county recruit people first!" Xu Guangze doesn't care about that. Now he is a sesame official, and he only has the structure of a sesame official!
"Come on, hurry up. I'll give you three days. It's already October, so we have to give the people time to get their wages and have a good New Year!" My brother-in-law has to be partial to him no matter what.
some.
Mrs. Song refilled the hot tea for the two of them and said, "Madam Chu, she never forgets you wherever she goes. It's just autumn, but she has sent fifty sets of sweaters and trousers. After a while, Guangming will bring back twenty sets and go home."
It’s divided into portions, some are thin and some are thick, and there are also ones for children, it’s very thoughtful.”
Not only their family, after autumn, Chu Qing, who was far away in Xinlun Prefecture, sent people to send woolen products to the village chiefs' families of the three villages over Wushu, as well as Mr. Xie's family, and Master Lu at home.
He and Mr. Nie also had a share, and even Huang Zhong, a veteran cadre in the capital, received it.
The mass base must be established and the officialdom must be well maintained.
Bai Hua held the sweater and trousers, and his hands were trembling: "She, she, what does she want to do?" Wei Chengyi felt funny when he saw his cowardice: "It's cold, just care about your colleagues."
Anyway, Wei Chengyi was happy. The sales of these things were valuable. Chu Qing gave two sets each to the thin and thick ones. It was really interesting!
"I'm so kind to you for nothing!" Bai Hua said.
"Master Bai doesn't like it, my subordinates will help you deal with it!" Wei Chengyi said with a serious look.
"Who says I don't like it! No, I don't like it. No, I mean, is there something wrong with her suddenly giving me something?" Bai Hua said incoherently.
Wei Chengyi pouted, "How unconfident are you! No one has ever tricked you!"
"If Mr. Bai is not at ease, then let her go back?" Wei Chengyi said deliberately.
"Tch! Don't give it up for free, what's the point of feeling uneasy!"
"That's right! It's not like you've ever confiscated someone else's wine."
"..." Bai Hua choked a little,
"Sir, I heard that she has taken in a girl over there. You can help her get her household registration." Wei Chengyi kindly reminded her.
"That's right! With such a big job, two sets of sweaters and woolen trousers are not enough! Just get a few more jars of wine!" Bai Hua said excitedly. Dad loves to drink this wine, so he needs to clear out how many jars he has!
…………
Chu Qing was destined to have no time to spare this year. He had just settled the cotton account and went to Sanya County to see the peanut harvest.
Peanuts are easy to feed. The yield of peanuts in Sanya County is much higher than that in Jizhou. It’s a bumper harvest.
Chu Qing arranged to dry the oil on the spot, press the oil, and sell it in Xinlun Prefecture. Anyway, there are many nobles here, and it's all about money!
The squeezed peanut meal cake is also a good thing. Together with the bean cake, Xiaobao can also have multiple snacks.
Don't leave the vacant land idle, and plant cotton again.
While Chu Qing was busy rotating crops in Sanya County, Xiaobao was not idle either. He carried his mother on his back and ran to various warehouses in Bao Qingsheng to launch his "pocket money plan."
His mother used to talk about another version of hot pot, "Mala Tang", and Xiaobao ran to open a "food street".
The street where Bao Qingsheng's three warehouses are located has been arranged by Xiaobao. Before lunch, two small stalls are set up along the road, selling various spicy hotpots, kebabs, noodles, wontons, mixed vegetables, and stir-fried pork.
Sticky bean buns...all kinds of snacks from the north and the south can be found here.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't block the entrance of other people's stores, it will make every store jealous.
It's not that they didn't expect that this kind of small stall only makes small profits and takes up a lot of manpower. A stall must have at least one or two people, right? How many people can there be in a shop? So they didn't even bother to do it.
But take a look at Chiang Saen, one of the most popular restaurants in the city. When you do it, you walk along the street. The whole street is steaming, and it’s lively!
I'm jealous of others but can't express them. Why? They make the whole street lively. People coming from the south or going north will feel greedy and hungry when they smell it, so they eat. After eating, they can go shopping in the shops.
, and brought a lot of customers to myself.
Usually, the passenger flow almost stops in the afternoon, and the evening is basically the time when various stores transport and tally goods.
Now, not only the porters of each family have a place to eat, but also the merchants from all over the country want to try it.
If there are snacks without soup, they are also packed in small paper bags with emoticons printed on them. The prices are low and the packaging is exquisite.
