Chapter 709 You can use materials to offset money (second update)

Chapter 718

An acre of five guan, does not seem to be much, but the wasteland that can grow cotton in Yanzhou has reached more than 130 mu, and the number of mu is almost no less than the number of good mu.

Don't forget that Yanzhou is mountainous and has many salt ponds. In addition, there are large tracts of pasture suitable for grazing in the east of Yanzhou. Under such circumstances, there can still be such a wide area for growing cotton.It is conceivable that Yuzhou, which is in the Gobi desert in the north, and Hongzhou, which is rich in water and grass, may not be less than this number.

After everyone received their number plates, the gate of the government office was slowly opened, and then, a dozen capable officials each took out a wooden box, and then wrote a word outside the gate of the government office. Line up and arrange.

Then there were officers who set up tables next to each wooden box and prepared pens and ink, and these officials made their preparations.

Those who have received the number plate need to hand the number plate in their hands to these officials, and then hand over their identification documents to the officials to copy them, and then pay a [-]% deposit.

In other words, [-] mu, that is one hundred thousand guan, even if it is only a [-]% deposit, it is still a huge sum of [-] guan.

A deposit of at least [-]% of a thousand acres of land also requires a deposit of fifty guan.

The so-called deposit, of course, is paid, even if the buyer is not satisfied with the lot that is about to be drawn, it will not be refunded.

Of course, the government at least assured them that cotton could definitely be grown in these wastelands, but the distance from the water source would not be more than twenty miles.

However, in order to prevent those guys from picking good lands and causing the rest of the people to complain, that's why Wang Yang came up with this method of drawing lots.

After paying the deposit first, everyone went to draw lots, and then took the numbers they got, and then happily walked into the government office under the guidance of the guards, where he would know what he wanted What kind of land is obtained.

When they went inside and determined where their land was, they were introduced to the next process.

"My lord, what do you mean...you don't need money?" After the merchant heard the request from the official in front of him, his expression instantly became a little confused.

"It's not that you don't need money, but you don't need that much cash. Tell me, what kind of business do you do?"

"Small ones are small businesses."

"...Stop talking nonsense, what I'm asking is, what kind of business do you do? Do you make cloth, salt, grain, or something else..."

"Oh, my lord, you are asking this. The small one mainly deals in cloth in Jingzhao Mansion, and also sells some agricultural tools. They are all small businesses, small businesses..."

"...Warning you again, don't talk nonsense, now I give you a choice, since you are engaged in the business of farm tools and cloth, then, the rest of the part you have not paid can be offset with real objects."

"Counteraction?"

"That is to say, for example, if you sell a piece of silk cloth in Jingzhao Mansion for two guan, then as long as you get it here, you can get two guan, and the hoes you sell in Jingzhao Mansion cost [-] yuan a piece. It costs three hundred dollars to get here, do you understand what I mean?"

"You, you mean to let the little one take something to pay for it?" The merchant's eyes lit up suddenly, this is the retail price, the retail price, even if it is shipped a little farther here, it is still profitable.

Earn less, so what?It's much better than throwing real money at the other party.

"Well, can you raise the price a little bit more? After all, Jingzhao Mansion is thousands of miles away from here, and the shipping fee..." But the greedy nature of the merchant started to flare up again in an instant, and his greedy gaze and expression were well concealed.

At this time, before the official had time to speak, a voice sounded from behind him. "If you don't agree, the previous deal will be void. The door is right there and you can go out."

"You! You, who are you?..." The businessman who won [-] mu of land just turned his head, and after seeing Wang Yang's appearance and the robe he was wearing, he immediately shrank his neck and hesitated. asked.

"This is our Wang Jinglue, didn't you hear what he said?" Ling Zong stepped forward with a hostile face and said viciously.

"My lord, please forgive me for my stupid eyes. Please don't blame my lord. Since that's the case, then let's do this. The villain was just joking. It's really just a joke..."

"Please refrain from making such jokes, understand?" Wang Yang coldly glanced at the merchants who were sitting there bargaining with the officials.

As soon as this statement came out, no one dared to babble again.Compared with other places, the people in Jingzhao Mansion are closest to Shaanxi Road, and he, Wang Yangwang Wushan, has long been a famous fierce god.

Hearing these words and such a threat, everyone froze immediately. They didn't even have the slightest thought of continuing to take advantage of it, but their heads clicked like a chicken pecking at rice.I'm afraid this master will be unhappy, how could these powerless merchants like me be more powerful than those ministers in the court?
Don't forget, almost all the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were offended by this guy, and after they came to Shaanxi Road, not only did they not have the slightest intention of being relegated, but the officials became bigger and bigger, and at the age of weak crowns, they became the majestic Jiuyuan County The county magistrate of the founding of the country, and the appeasement envoy of the three prefectures.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this has been the only one.

#####
In less than two days, all 130 acres of cotton fields in Yanzhou were sold, with a total of money and materials worth a total of 320 yuan...

This number shocked everyone. You must know that this is a poor area, and it is also a fucking border area in the north of the Great Wall.

The land in this place was originally not very sought after by people, but under Wang Yang's propaganda and the appearance of the Yuanyou cotton gin, those merchants with a keen sense of smell were like a group of blood-sucking mosquitoes, buzzing in this direction Humming flew up.

In addition, this is only the wealth gained from selling the land. That’s not counting. This guy Wang Yang asked those soldiers who were unwilling to serve as soldiers to build a cotton gin that will be sold in the Yanzhou Cotton Ginning Machinery Factory. equipment.

The asking price of a piece of machinery is not high, the manual cotton gin is only two yuan, the hydraulic cotton gin is only twenty yuan, and the maintenance fee is not high, at most fifty yuan a time, and the hydraulic cotton gin is only one hundred yuan a time, and the most expensive parts are not expensive. It will be more than 150 money.

But you have to take into account that the 130 acres of cotton fields, calculated on the basis of one manual cotton gin per ten acres and one hydraulic cotton gin per hundred acres, is a very considerable amount, not counting the cotton fields in the two states afterward. In addition, the cotton gin is mainly made of wood structure, so a machine can be used for two to three years at most.

Among them, someone also needs to maintain, repair, and replace various wearing parts, which is also a considerable amount of income.
