Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5013 Can this make money?

Anyway, those aristocratic families can taste whether Northeast rice is better or brown rice like Champa rice is better, and they can fool them by ordering a feed grain, but if this is the case, the price will need to be re-determined.

Of course, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing now, and we can discuss it during the Chinese New Year. This year, Chen Xi thought about it and let it go. Anyway, Cai Mao has gone crazy, so there is nothing to say.

As for turning this stuff into fodder and food, will it have any impact? Chen Xi wondered whether Cai Mao and his group really wanted to make some money, and they didn't go for the food security of the Han Dynasty. It's not a big deal to settle the issue.

Even if you think about it conscientiously, this group of people don’t eat this kind of food very much. Farming is just a normal agricultural behavior. After planting it, they find that the rice tastes not as good as the rice in the Northeast. .

Feeling that one's own rice is not tasty, and eating other people's rice is something that has always existed in itself. It is not a big problem for Chen Xi to mess around a little.

"It's better to have plenty of things like food." Li You said expressionlessly. Li You also knew that Cai Mao sold food and grass to the officials at a low price on a large scale.

For Li You, the rice is not just unpalatable. Twenty years ago, the quality of military rations eaten by Xiliang cavalry was far from that of pure fine grains. Three years earlier, the people near Chang'an County, There is still dross in the porridge that goes into the pot.

Is the bad taste a problem?Not at all, besides, if you find it unpalatable, you can crush it into powder, and then make it into various other edible things, add some seasonings and the like, and completely change it into other flavors, so for this unpalatable high-yield food, Li You Stay absolutely satisfied.

It's only been a few good days, and there are so many thoughts. It turns out that 20 years ago, I couldn't find a good quality Guanyin clay. The memory is not deep enough, and Chen Xi is really idle.

"Actually, according to the current situation, the grain output in the Central Plains will increase substantially next year. The decentralization of agricultural tools and the expansion of land reclamation will have positive significance for grain output." Chen Xi explained casually. , "And the food in those places in Yetiao still needs to be considered again."

Although this group of people is now using large ships to transport grain and earn some money by relying on low prices, if the grain output of the other party is too outrageous, it is inevitable that they will impact the grain market of the Han Dynasty.

After all, in the Central Plains, the grain production areas are really not reliable. The plains in North China, Central China, and South China are indeed high-quality plains, but they do not have an advantage in climate and rain. From the perspective of the grain industry, they are self-sufficient No problem, but it is a bit difficult to resist impact.

Therefore, those people like Cai Mao have been developing, and after a few decades, they will sooner or later become the super-strength international grain merchants of later generations. They have the possibility of destroying the grain industry of the Han Dynasty. After all, the prices of these people are indeed able to Do it very low.

To put it too far, the price of grain in the Han Dynasty fluctuated back and forth, but it was generally at 150 Wen a stone. The significance of this price was more to ensure that the people had enough food. As for making money, there was not much profit.

But Cai Mao’s group of people can get close to one-half of the profit even if the food is added to the shipping price. It doesn’t seem to be much, but the cultivated land of Cai Mao’s group has not been fully developed. When it comes to grain, the government is a little loose. After the common people realize that buying grain is more cost-effective than growing grain, they will gradually give up farming.

This is a big problem. It may take several generations for this to appear, but once it reaches that level, Chen Xi will be powerless, so before these troublesome things happen, hurry up and cut off this possibility. .

"I always feel that you are a little dissatisfied with those families from the south of the Yangtze River coming to sell grain." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and frowned and said.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that we stand at different angles." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "From a general point of view, food would rather go bad than be in short supply, so I agree with this matter, but other aspects You have to think about it too, that’s about it.”

"By the way, I haven't seen the princess go to enjoy the cool air this year, and now it's August [-]th, and the princess hasn't given any gifts." Liu Ye has a different position on this issue, so I don't want to talk about it, it's natural Off topic.

"You actually wanted to give Her Royal Highness a present. I'm afraid you haven't woken up." Chen Xi rarely teased, "But having said that, it's true, what's your Highness doing this year?"

"I farmed in Shanglinyuan. After losing a little last year, I realized this year that I can't procrastinate, and now I'm harvesting." Lu Su said quietly, "Han Mou is also watching over there. It is said that some problems have occurred again. Now it's all up to Xian The concubine is working hard."

Liu Tong did not give up growing peanuts in the end. After all, the peanuts harvested last year made Liu Tong realize that the oil yield of this stuff is really outrageous, so she made a comeback after the beginning of this year, and is going to continue her royal special offering Oil and stuff like that.

In addition to the factory obtained from Chen Xi, Liu Tong expressed very excitedly that she can make a lot of money this year, so there is no need to say more about it. The large textile factory in Chang'an has recruited another 2000 people this year. There are a lot of jobs, and then Chen Xi secretly built a large area of ​​supporting facilities, so the textile factory's income this year is negative.

In fact, it is not negative. To be precise, the textile factory has suppressed a lot of goods. If these goods are sold in advance, they can get a large sum of money. In addition, cloth is a hard currency like money these days. After the female workers have paid their wages, as long as there is cloth in the warehouse, it is earned.

But the problem with Chen Xi is that Chen Xi transferred the cloth to downstream ready-made garments, military uniforms, and various fabric processing in advance, and did not pay, because this thing is only a part of the entire industry. For Chen Xi, even a branch factory It's not even counted, it's just a workshop, so once the books are turned, such a super-large factory will become negative income this year.

Thinking from the perspective of a single factory, this must be a loss. No matter how Liu Tong checks the accounts, he can't find out the problem. He can only consider whether he recruited too many new people this year. , Those who provided raw materials and intermediate products were all losing money in order to support their brother companies, but they made a lot of money overall. Don't they give money to companies that are losing money on the books?

Are you kidding, of course you have to divide it. As long as the plan goal is completed, the book data does not matter whether it is a loss or not, so logically speaking, Chen Xi still has to give Liu Tong a share of the money, because this year the entire textile industry earns money. There are not many.

Therefore, at the end of the year, Chen Xi planned to check the production value, and then looked at giving Liu Tong a whole number—although you lost money this year, it doesn't matter, you still have the lucky money.

What, why do you think Chen Xi knows that he must lose money this year?If this can make Liu Tong go to heaven, what a joke, this is only August, according to the book, Liu Tong has already lost more than 800 million yuan, if Chen Xi is not afraid of scaring Liu Tong away, how many losses can Chen Xi make? Tens of millions of dollars of data.

It's just that I'm a person anyway, so I have to show some face, and I can't do too much, so let's play like this first.

But even if it is 800 million yuan, Liu Tong is still in a daze. What happened, I recruited some people, bought some goods, and produced some materials. Why did I lose so much? I want to check the accounts. After checking, Liu Tong Even more confused, I really lost so much, why?I am so good!

So Liu Tong went back to Weiyang Palace to plant peanuts. Compared to playing in a textile factory that loses money every month, Liu Tong thought that farming is still reliable. Their old Liu family is not good at business. Okay, I'm off to farm.

Needless to say later, it's time for Liu Tong to harvest peanuts after all the tossing. Based on the small loss before, it can be regarded as a big profit now. These little things that can produce oil are her hope of making a comeback!
"Why do I always feel that Your Highness can't make money?" Liu Ye looked at Chen Xi and said quietly. Chen Xi glanced at Liu Ye and said nothing. What do you mean by looking at me when you say this? Could it be that I am giving Liu Tong Make trouble, what a joke, of course not.

"There is a high probability that you won't be able to make money." Mi Zhu, who seldom comes here and has recently finished his work and entered the rest stage, sighed and said, "Peanuts are a good thing. The oil yield is indeed very high, and the demand for oil is also high. It is indeed very big, but there is a high probability that the eldest princess will not be able to make money."

"It's not enough to make money." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's just that making money is not so smooth, and I can definitely make money."

Liu Tong naturally didn't know how the people in the government affairs department were evaluating her. She was now leading a group of people to harvest her own peanuts. Even though hiring a female worker to dig peanuts would cost three pennies an hour, almost 450 pennies a month.

This job does not require much physical strength, so it is much cheaper to find women to harvest than men. Of course, even so, Liu Tong also feels that it is expensive. In trying to exploit Si Niang, Si Niang has developed a new type of harvesting skill. Generally speaking, one person can support 200 people.

So Liu Tong hired a large group of people, relying entirely on Si Niang to harvest, and then encouraged Si Niang himself. As for Si Niang's expression, from excitement to impatience, to resistance, and finally wandering away, turned into a tool People, I have experienced a lot of things during this period.

"It's over, it's a big win, and the rest is speculation and other things. This year, it will definitely make a lot of money." Liu Tong said happily after the last acre of land was settled, and Si Niang, whose mind had already flown away , and Si Niang also finished her mechanical work, her mind can be regarded as flying back.
