Ancient Fortune Records

Chapter 72 revises part of the wording, which can be ignored

Wang Su is a small businessman in Bianjing. In the city of Bianjing, his income of more than ten guan a month is hardly on the table.The richest businessman in Bianjing can earn tens of thousands of guan in a month at least. Of course, the gray income is the highest among them.

The person he admires the most is Shen Li. One person can drive the income of a place. Doing business is not for making money, but for "money begets money".This theory of "money begets money" was also promoted by Shen Li. He was surprised when he heard that "let the people have income and spend money to make better money." He even felt that this theory is simply nonsense. .

However, after the development of Qinghe County in the past few years, they have become more and more aware of the correctness of this statement.

When Shen Li was doing business with them, he often mentioned that businessmen should take social responsibilities, that the amount of wool should be appropriate, and that the most important thing is to give back to the whole country.Many people feel that this is too much to say, they are just businessmen, how can they repay Dazhao?

Shen Li set a good example for the merchants and officials of the whole Dazhao.

Now everyone says: "When doing business, you have to learn from Shen Li, be open-minded, and make money."

From the perspective of human nature, it is difficult for people to go from extravagance to frugality.People who used to be able to eat coarse grains, steamed buns or rice bran and felt good to be alive, were given the opportunity to eat big white rice and delicious meat, and they could eat them frequently, so they would not want to go back to eating only nests. The life of cornbread and rice bran.

So once they realize that they can live a good life by following Shen Li's command, then they must be willing to work hard and make good money.

So what can you do if you make money?That is to further improve their living standards.The mud-and-tiled house cannot be lived in when it rains, so I want a brick-and-tiled house.If the food produced in the fields is not enough to eat, then buy more land.If you want to marry a wife and have children, you need to earn money well.If you dislike the use of linen for rubbing your skin, you will find a way to wear silk.

Once people have money, they start spending.Once they start spending, merchants who offer items for consumption can make money.When businessmen make money, they will find ways to make more money, thereby expanding the production of a certain product, thus creating many jobs, and then more people can earn money because of the increase in jobs, and then consume.

This cycle is a very common one, and it's superficial.On a deeper level, such a cycle can make tax revenue more healthy, and the remaining tax revenue can be used as funds for road construction, disaster relief, and subsidies for extremely poor families, making the entire society more stable.

Wang Suye used to think that making money was only his business. Later, he tried to provide some work for everyone and gave reasonable remuneration. He became one of the very popular vendors in the eyes of many people.A businessman wants to make friends. He has made money this year. He also built roads near his shop. The road from some villages to the towns where he does business is easier. He finds that his business is much easier. .

Shen Li couldn't stand seeing many businessmen looking at him with the expression of looking at the patriarch.In the early spring, he received a threshing machine made by a craftsman surnamed Chu. It really can peel off the husk of the grain cleanly, and only a small amount of grain is crushed.

As soon as this thing came out, Shen Li planned to expand production and sell the threshing machine to various places in Dazhao.

Wang Su came to Yanhui this time to prepare for the threshing machine.As soon as this thing comes out, it is destined to be looted by most traders. In fact, some Hu merchants have already transported it to Chang'an and sold it at a high price.However, Wang Su did not plan to sell it at a low price. The first reason is that few people would actually buy the threshing machine, and its cost was in front of him, not everyone could afford it.

"How many threshing machines do you plan to buy?" Wang Ning asked the merchant who came to Yanhui County with him. He didn't know how much to order. The production of threshing machines is small, and the volume is too large. It is really difficult to transport them to Chang'an. Inconvenient, he probably won't get in much.

The peddler said with a smile: "I, buy one for my parents. It's enough. Not every household can afford this thing. If my parents have one, they can ask people from the village to borrow it from my house. At that time, I just scooped half a liter of corn for my parents, and I could get a lot of food in the autumn harvest. My parents are old and can’t do field work, and my heart is empty. There is a threshing machine at home, and the villagers can treat them well. Be more polite and willing to talk to them." The key point is that he is always in the business of selling sweaters, so naturally he won't have too much involvement with the threshing machine.

Wang Ning's family lives in Chang'an City. He is more capable than his father and manages the family's property in an orderly manner.

"Brother is a filial person, but my father doesn't do field work, so it's useless for our family to have this. Then I'll buy two and try selling it at the door of the store. Maybe the grain store will be willing to buy it."

Wang Ning likes to do business in Yanhui County, and the food and lodging can make him feel at ease.People in Yanhui County are honest and generous, and they don't care too much.For the same price, the portions here are almost double that of other places.

A guy selling threshing machines in Yanhui County said: "Little brother, this statement is wrong. Everyone is vying to buy our threshing machines here! Are there not enough dignitaries and landlords in Dazhao? Let alone the landlords. Every village must have at least two threshing machines! In Yanhui County, there are five major towns and [-] villages, and there will be more villages and towns in other places. They can sell a lot of them anyway. I think Enter ten units, and you can sell them along the way."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ning thought it made sense.He was afraid of losing money, but since the market for threshing machines is good, it is not a big deal to buy a few more.

Threshing machines are not consumables.As long as it is collected well, it will not be a problem to use it for five or ten years.But if there are mice gnawing on it, it must be easy to break.

Many craftsmen spent money to ask the craftsmen of Yanhui County how to repair the threshing machine, and the people of Yanhui County were not stingy, and quickly explained the repair method clearly.These craftsmen later returned home and put up a sign that they could repair corn threshers and threshing machines. They could earn a lot of money by repairing these things for a year.

"Tsk, County Magistrate Shen is really powerful. The threshing machine was made by a craftsman surnamed Chu from Yanhui. He immediately notified the emperor and reported Yanhui Chu's family to the emperor. The threshing machine is engraved with 'Craftsman Chu' He produced', this Chuhe is really lucky, his name will be famous forever."

"More than that? His family was summoned by the emperor to the Chang'an Palace. He taught the craftsmen in the palace to make threshing machines, and the benefits were lenient! Who wouldn't be jealous?" Wang Ning looked at the envy in the eyes of the people traveling with him, and said to himself When it comes out, the effect produced is satisfactory.Craftsmen can see the majesty inside the palace, they don't even have the chance to stop at the gate of the imperial city, how can they not be envious?

"The craftsmen are trying their best to come up with novel gadgets. A few days ago, I heard that someone is still working on a machine that separates cottonseed from cotton, but I don't know if it can be done."

Wang Ning said with a smile: "Whatever, we'll buy it if we make it! Who doesn't grow cotton trees now?" Kazuki's cotton is a quilt weighing ten catties, and sheets for several beds. If there is something that can automatically peel cotton seeds, The ordinary people will buy it after gnashing their teeth.

Shen Li was satisfied when he saw that the threshing machine was selling well.The threshing machine in Shenjia Village was naturally sent back by him. His father went back a few years ago. There were troubles in several of his factories, but before the problem escalated, the people who caused the problem were all driven away.So sending some useful things back to the village is a good thing to benefit others and yourself.

In the beginning of spring, Shen Li received some plant seedlings from his son, and he specially built a nursery to plant them.

"I don't know what to grow." Shen Li propped up some plants that looked like vines with wooden sticks.Some plants look strange, and I don't know what they are.

What's more, Shen Li could tell what it was at a glance, but he didn't expect Shizi to find succulents.Judging from the letter, it seems that this thing was specially offered by a Kunlun slave when he met the prince in order to get rid of the human teeth who betrayed him.

Shen Li thinks that succulent is cute and easy to raise.After cultivation, those who want to flower shop can ask him for succulent seeds. This thing looks cute and should be liked by many women.

There are probably some fruit trees.There are some trees that Shen Li has heard of but never seen, such as the milk fruit tree.

The milk fruit tree sent over is still a sapling, and it will take at least ten years to grow the legendary milk fruit.However, the prince sent him a box of milk fruit, eating jujubes that tasted like milk, but the flesh was more delicate than jujubes, and the size was larger than jujubes.It is delicious, but it is said that this thing has to be carefully taken care of.

He felt that he had picked up a hot taro, and this sapling would stay in the Shizi's house, and then the Shizi would give him a box of milk and fruit every year, wouldn't it be delicious?In the letter, the son generously and frankly stated his wasteful behavior of anger and resentment in the past.Shen Li said that he was heartbroken, that he wouldn't even eat such a delicious fruit, as expected of you.

He entrusted someone to plant a milk fruit tree in Shenjia Village, and gave up the idea of ​​packing up this precious tree and sending it back to the Shizi's house.Shizi said that the saplings given to him are male plants, and when they grow up, the male plants can be brought to the capital to mate with Shizi's female plants to cultivate young saplings.

"It looks a bit like a ginkgo tree. Unfortunately, the ginkgo tree didn't become extinct in the end. This thing is probably extinct." Out of concern for endangered species, Shen Li hired a skilled flower and tree caretaker to take care of it.

Fireworks are in March, which is the busy time for farming.The farm cattle on the ridge are taken care of so that they are smooth and smooth, and the horns of the cattle are washed to shine.Farmers thought that farming was still the same as before, and people pulled Quyuan plows to cultivate, but they did not expect that the county magistrate would rent them such good-looking cattle at the cheapest price for farming.

"Has your family opened up wasteland this year?"

"Then how can we not open up wasteland? My family only has three acres of land. If I don't open up wasteland, I have to buy grain, otherwise it will not be enough for a year."

"Let me tell you, whether it's buying grain or not, the price is fixed by County Magistrate Shen, and the price doesn't fluctuate much."

"But the county magistrate also said that we should encourage the cultivation of wasteland, otherwise we will not be able to buy food even if we have money in a disaster year. It's okay if we can't plant so much land. Hiring people to plant it is a lot of short-term labor."

"Stop chatting," an old man came over and scolded his two juniors, "spring rain is as expensive as oil, hurry up to plow the field, plow the field well, and sow the seeds before the next spring rain."

……

Shen Li inspected the land, found no malicious encroachment on the farmers' land, so he went back home.Landlords these days, there are always one or two heartless ones who don’t plant so much wasteland, but want to seize the fields that the farmers have tended to them. Isn’t this bullying?At this time last year, Shen Li handled such a case. The family of five actually only had two acres of land left, so how could they survive?They almost told them to sell their sons and daughters so that they would not starve to death.

When Shen Li received the news, he immediately dragged out the land snake who had invaded the land, showed the public to whip him, compensated the land, and paid a high amount of compensation.The people saw it, and immediately realized that the county magistrate is not afraid of getting into trouble and can be relied on.

When I was busy with spring plowing, the imperial edict from the emperor arrived, full of beautiful words and rich rewards from the imperial decree.Looking at the reward in the imperial decree, Shen Li felt that this scene seemed familiar...
