After all, Bai Daru didn't say anything, nor did he ask anything.
In this world, like him, there are very few people who can tell a person's face at a glance.Originally, there was Master Jingyi from Suzhou, but she has already gone.Earlier, Bai Daru rushed to Suzhou to see her for the last time, but he didn't see her after all.
That's it.
Lin Yu originally wanted to ask a question, but seeing that the old man seemed to have completely forgotten about it, he put aside this concentration and buried himself in the copybook.With the help of Bai Shier and Guan Yunfei, Liu Qiuchi relaxed a lot.But before he could be lazy for a long time, Lin Yu dragged him into a pit of inspecting the surrounding towns.
Xin Zongping, Master Bai and several of his disciples have met each other, but he is suffering from acne, and he can't go anywhere for the time being, so he can only lie on the bed and rest with peace of mind.
However, Lin Yu found him the local county annals and the like, so that he could read them for entertainment when he was free.
"The population in the village is not denser than that in the prefectural city, and the area affected is not large. However, it is still depressed." Lin Yu pulled the rein of the horse and looked at the barren field. Occasionally, a few people appeared in it, bending over.Seeing them, they hurriedly avoid them, and then stood far away, or knelt down and kowtowed silently.
"Just wait until spring begins." Liu Qiuchi was also worried. With Xinghua Mansion at this point, the epidemic can be said to be the most important thing, and how to resume production is the top priority. I don’t know how to get through it.” The so-called green and yellow, it’s not long before the beginning of spring.Spring plowing has begun, and the maturity period is far from being reached, but the old grain has already been eaten.Ordinary people have a surplus of grain in their households, but no one dares to say how much grain is left after natural and man-made disasters.
"The people don't have any surplus grain, and the treasury still has grain in stock. If it's not enough, you can still buy grain." Lin Yu got off the horse, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the soil, felt the moisture under his hand, and said, "You can't eat enough, but you can't die of hunger. "
Seeing that he let go of the soil in his hand, Liu Qiuchi stood up, hurriedly ordered someone to take out the prepared water bag to wash his hands, and complained: "Just ask an old farmer to come over and ask, why bother to touch it yourself, what are you doing?" I know if it has just been retting fat."
Lin Yu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Now is not the time to fertilize." He had experimented with the method of intercropping on his own farm, and had also experimented with the fertility of the land, and he was not ignorant of agronomy, so he sighed, "After so much Once it happens, I'm afraid the land annexation will be serious again."
In fact, the situation was already beginning to emerge. Liu Qiuchi had already seen a dozen large and small contracts for selling fields and land in the classroom.He frowned, "After the catastrophe, the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer. I'm afraid this momentum will be unstoppable." Poor families will not sell their fields unless they have to.Pressing them not to sell it is not the way to do it.
"Is the price fair?" Lin Yu asked.
"What's fair?" Liu Qiuchi sneered and said, "What good price can you get for selling land at this time, but it's just being slaughtered." In this way, more and more poor peasants are selling their land.Last year, there were two incidents in succession, which really emptied the meager foundation of too many small farmers.
"It can't go on like this." The two slipped around and went back to the city under the respectful eyes of the people. Lin Yu had various ideas in his mind, and said, "Nowadays, the world is full of rice in Huguang, and the price of food here is high." It has never been high." In fact, this place is located in the south and belongs to the subtropical climate, and rice is harvested twice a year, so Lin Yu dared to say that he can't eat enough, but he will definitely not die of hunger.
Liu Qiuchi knew the elegant meaning when he heard the stringed song, and asked with his head tilted: "But if you don't grow food, how will you get through the temporary difficulties?" Changing seeds is not a small matter, and the people are hungry, so they may not be happy.Even if Lin Yu's prestige was gambled on such a thing, it was hard to say.
Also, changing the planting mode in one place, from food crops to cash crops is not something that can be accomplished overnight with a single government order.However, Xinghua Mansion is now in a state of waste, so if you want to do something, now is the most suitable time.Lin Yu does not intend to give up this opportunity, but the method still needs to be discussed.
As for the cash crops to be planted, he has some ideas in mind, but he still needs to plan carefully.
When I returned to the government office, I heard a report from inside that the young master of the Chang family had arrived.
"Where's the salt?" Lin Yu asked first, "Is the bill settled?"
Su Mu followed him step by step, and said: "The salt has been put into the warehouse first. The account has not been settled, and the housekeeper who escorted the car did not dare to accept it." He couldn't give the bank note to Mr. Chang's family, it had to be done by the Lin Yu stepped forward.Originally, compared to the little money, the Chang family came here more for favors.
In the side hall, Chang Zilan, who was sitting and drinking tea, raised her eyes and saw a young man walking in three strides in two strides, with a riding whip in his hand and slammed it into the hand of the servant behind him. hand over.Despite such a dusty appearance, it was strangely not disrespectful.
He thought to himself, this is the grandson-in-law of the descendant of the direct branch in the capital, he hurriedly got up and said: "Chang's Zilan has seen the prefect of Lin." In the clan, their family has always been close to the direct branch.Therefore, this time, Lin Yu came to Xinghua Prefecture to serve as the magistrate, and the Chang University scholar also sent a letter to his family.The words are simple, that is, if this head of Lin Yu needs anything, they will do their best to meet it.
Their family is close to the direct branch, and now the grand master of the direct branch is also a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.Therefore, their family has always been able to talk in the clan, and the benefits have never been lacking.This time, because of the possibility of going to Xinghua Mansion, there were quite a few people in the clan who secretly talked bitterly and took pleasure in other's misfortune.
However, as his father said.On weekdays, they benefit the most, and when the direct branch is in use, it is naturally incumbent on them.Chang Zilan was deeply convinced.Simply, it's not that there are no acne in the family, even if it is dangerous, it is limited.
However, the family waited for a long time, but they did not wait for the letter from Xinghua Mansion.Half a year later, everything in Xinghua Mansion was stable as usual, and there was no smallpox patient in the three neighboring mansions.The Chang family knew that nothing happened.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a letter came from Xinghua Mansion instead.
Perhaps it was out of gratitude to Lin Yu for not ordering them at the most chaotic time, or maybe out of prudence in the instructions of Chang Daxun, as soon as they received Lin Yu's letter, they tried their best to raise funds according to the requirements of the above. He bought more salt and escorted him to Xinghua Mansion.The tens of thousands of catties of salt was [-]% more than what Lin Yu originally requested.
Even if it was just the price of private salt, the salt merchant wiped off the change for the sake of the Chang University scholar, which also cost their family 1 taels of silver.It's not that the salt merchant doesn't want to give it away for free, but even if he gives it away, the Chang family doesn't want to accept it.Those who are salt merchants are not human beings, and they can't completely refuse to give them any face. It is also a meaning to erase the fraction of thousands of taels of silver.
The two met each other, and when the guests and hosts were seated, Chang Zilan couldn't wait to say: "The prefect of Lin has both talents. According to Xiaosheng's journey, Xinghua prefecture has already had a bit of prosperity in the past. In just half a year, the prefect is really amazing. .” He has the reputation of a scholar, but he can’t pass the exam no matter what.For such a big man, he had no choice but to call himself Xiaosheng in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu already knew that the Chang family had sent over [-]% more salt, and the total amount was more than [-] catties.If he wanted to, he could still socialize very well, as if he had only been a bachelor's servant for a few months, and now he felt that he was very suitable for him.Facing Chang Zilan's flattery, she said with a smile: "The two families are relatives by marriage, so there's no need to be so polite. Zilan will still be my elder brother in the future, so it's fine to just call me Huai Jin. "
That Chang Zilan blushed slightly, and said, "That Zilan will be taken care of."
The two chatted for a while, and when Su Mu served the tea, Lin Yu said, "The treasury has already been counted, and the total amount of salt is 1 catties. According to the price of salt in Quanzhou, it should be 1 taels of silver. Later, I will call Su Mu to hand over."
Then Chang Zilan quickly waved her hand and said: "Don't dare, the master has been talking about it at home, and wants to contribute to the Xinghua Mansion. But there has never been a chance. Since your letter, the master is very happy , and sent me here in a hurry. If you go back with money, Xiaosheng will be punished. Huaijin will do you a favor!"
Seeing how he was trying to make it together, Lin Yu turned his head and said with a smile, "It's a matter in the government office, so I can't ask you to pay for nothing. Besides, 1 taels of silver is not a small sum." He knocked The desk desk said, "In this way, I happen to have a difficult matter, so you take this money to do it for me, how about it?"
Chang Zilan felt apprehensive when she heard this, and seeing Lin Yu's unquestionable expression, she got up and said, "Dare not to follow orders."
Xiaoniujiao Village was originally a village with a thriving family. Most of the people in the village were surnamed Li, so it was also called Lijia Village.However, no matter how good the village is, a smallpox epidemic is enough to bring a reasonably well-to-do family back to abject poverty.Even the house of Li Quande, the landlord in the village, is struggling now, and it will take about two years to recover.
Landlords' homes are all in this situation, let alone those ordinary farmers. The whole village exudes a sense of depression, and occasionally there are one or two short cries, which are nothing but dry howls.
Li Er's family is also in a normal situation, and selling the land is already a no-brainer.He originally thought that the character of Quande in the village was good, and the price of selling it to him would not be too low, and it would be easy to redeem it when he had money in the future.It was only after I found Quande that I realized that no one in the village was a fool, and there were many people begging him to buy land. As a result, even the richest Quande family could not spend much money to buy land in the village.
He has been digging in the land for a lifetime, and he doesn't want to sell the land, but what can he do, the family must survive!He is also thoughtful, there are not many people in the land now, and the landlord will still have to rely on them to cultivate the land, and slowly endure it for a few more years. If the year is good, he may be able to get up.
If this year is not good, it is fate!He smacked the cigarette holder, and there was not a single spark in the cigarette pot.
Landlords in the village can't afford so many fields, but there are so many houses in the city, they have been eyeing the land for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity to buy so many that can be connected into a large area.
Anyone with a little knowledge and a little money in their hands is very good at camping these days.People are busy, and those brokers are even busier.Their noses are sharper than dogs, their appetites are more greedy than wolves, and their consciences have penetrated into the eyes of money and can no longer be seen.
This is the same in Lijia Village, the people from the dental shop brought the rich masters in batches, but the prices they offered were getting lower and lower every day.A good field is fertile and moist. After planting crops and taking care of them a little, there will be a bumper harvest year after year.
One tael of silver per mu of land, and no more money will be given, Li Er thought, his great-grandfather worked so hard to earn such ten mu of land, two taels of money and three quarters of an mu, now he opens his mouth for one tael, and even more Get some farm tools to add to the head.
What kind of world is this? It doesn't make sense!No matter how much Li Er thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Why did he make a tael from two, two, five, and three cents in a good field?This is fate, so tell him to die with him!
He looked at the two babies on the couch in the dark room who didn't have much strength to cry. It was only the three of them, so they all went to their mothers!
Li Er carried the two babies in his weak hands and walked out. Even if the people in the village saw him, they were silent, and they were stingy even when they greeted him.Perhaps, they all knew what Li Er wanted to do.Is this kind of thought turning around in their hearts?
There is a large field beside the village, and it didn't take him much effort to walk to the end of the field.Li Er rolled his eyes with difficulty, thinking, how could he die?It seemed that when things were coming to an end, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
There was a clatter of horseshoes, but it failed to attract Li Er's attention. He was full of thoughts, how could this person die with this land?Doesn't seem to work.He didn't think of a reason until the sound of horseshoes stopped beside him.
Chang Zilan, who was riding a tall horse, didn't notice this villager who was holding two children and was already a little abnormal. He was full of Lin Yu's orders, and he was really puzzled, so he had to follow his request first. .
He didn't go to any dental shop either, he was slowly helping manage the household affairs, he knew the rules of that business.
The so-called tooth line, mastering the information at both ends is the key.They generally have a good relationship with the officials in the government, and it is indeed faster to do things.It's a trivial matter to spend some money.Generally speaking, it is cheaper than going to the yamen to do errands and rewarding those officials.
However, according to prefect Lin, there are people selling land in eight of the ten villages, but the situation in Lijia Village is the most serious. He just dragged a pawn who knew the way and came here.Moreover, the current government office under Lin Yu is different from the ones in the past. The original officials were cleaned up by Lin Yu, but now a few hard-working and honest scholars are working. The money relationship between them is broken.If you really want to buy land, it is better to inquire patiently for a period of time than to pay an extra sum of money to find a dental firm.
Chang Zilan asked Li Er while thinking, "Old man, is this the Li Family Village?"
Li Er is actually not old. He has two children, one is five years old and the other is only three years old. He is actually only in his thirties.However, the gray hair, hunchback, black and gray face, and dark, dull eyes made Chang Zilan think that he was already an old man in his fifties or sixties.
"It's Li Family Village." Li Er nodded, as if he had repeated it dozens or hundreds of times, and asked dumbly, "Master, is he buying land?"
Chang Zilan was about to get on her horse and walk towards the village. Seeing this man standing on the ground, it must be their family's land, so she smiled and said, "I'm here to buy land, how do you know?"
"It's good to buy land, everyone in the village is selling it!" Li Er nodded without hearing anything, and asked self-consciously, "How much is an acre!" He asked, but didn't look up at Chang Zilan, as if Chatting casually like this, I never thought about knowing the answer.
Chang Zilan finally felt something was wrong this time, he winked at the little pawn beside him, and said cautiously: "The original market price is [-] yuan per mu for upper fields, [-] yuan for medium ones, and [-] yuan for low-grade ones. Look!"
Li Er's stunned eyes moved, Chang Zilan's voice seemed to have finally reached his ears from a distant place, he turned around abruptly, and licked his lips: "How much?"
Liu Qiuchi watched silently as Lin Yu threw the rice paper with the green seedling method written in his hand into the charcoal basin, and it burned until only ashes remained.The Qingmiao method originally came from Wang Anshi's new policy in the Song Dynasty. He had read it and knew that Lin Yu's method had made many improvements.If this method is followed, in just one year, it will be enough for the people of Xinghua to recover.
However, seeing that Lin Yu finally gave up on this method.Liu Qiuchi moved his lips, originally wanted to say something, but finally heaved a long sigh.
He found that since he came to Xinghua Mansion, he has sighed more than his previous life added up.
Every time, he watched Lin Yu come up with one unthinkable but effective solution after careful planning.Then, due to reality, one after another was denied.
It's like the green crop law, which is equivalent to the government's low-interest lending to farmers' seedlings, farm tools and other items.Farmers have these, as long as they can survive this lean time under the relief supplies, they will be able to survive.There is no need to sell the land that is regarded as life, and at the same time, land mergers are curbed.It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Lin Yu's worries were correct, and the young crop method was a good method.But how Wang Anshi failed in the first place, this method will fail for the same reason.
The system is dead, but people are alive.Even if Lin Yu was still able to suppress the upper and lower hands, the nature of the bureaucracy would not change.It is impossible for him to stay in Xinghua Mansion for a lifetime. Instead of believing in the integrity of the latecomers, he believes in the community of interests.
At least, even if he leaves at that time, as long as the business is still there, he will not be afraid that the people in this prefecture will lose their livelihood.
"One Chang family and one Lin family are not enough." If you want to do it, then do it absolutely.Lin Yu wanted to join forces with local snakes, so he simply managed the entire Xinghua, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Fuzhou Prefecture next door. With visible benefits, they naturally would not allow later officials to stretch out their hands indiscriminately.
Liu Qiuchi didn't know what Lin Yu was planning, but when he heard that the Chang family and the Lin family were not enough, he shuddered a little.Maybe he doesn't know enough about the power of the Lin family, but he does know enough about the power of the Chang family that has been entrenched in Quanzhou for a hundred years.
"Autumn Pond."
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Liu Qiuchi quickly withdrew his thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how many people grow sugar cane here, and how many lands there are in total?" Lin Yu thought about it, but still used sugar as an entry point.Just like salt, sugar is inconspicuous, but it can be said that there are few people in the country who do not like sweetness.Well done, this business is much better than smuggling foreign goods.
Liu Qiuchi understood Lin Yu's meaning, and said, "I'm going to find the original records." Lin Yu stopped him with his hand, and said, "The information recorded by those officials has too many mistakes and omissions, and there is not much reference value. Looking back, I Go find Liu Xianglian and let him go to the market to inquire about it, it will be faster than you can turn the pages of a book."
"That's right, we're so busy, and he's just wandering around in the market, so we should find him some work." Liu Qiuchi laughed, "However, although this sugarcane is good, it's not a meal after all. The farmers who originally grew grain may not be willing change."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Those who can still afford seedlings, let them go. They can grow whatever they like. Those who can't even afford seedlings, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep the land." Lan Xing went out to do just such a thing.
Unlike what Liu Qiuchi misunderstood, Liu Xianglian got very good news from the market.He was also the first to notice the signs of buying and selling land again, and immediately notified Lin Yu.
Compared with the price that the field should have, the current price has gradually dropped, and it has dropped to half of the original price.Lin Yu had no way to issue a decree ordering the rich to buy land at normal prices, let alone prohibit land sales.Land annexation in Xinghua Prefecture is no longer a matter of the powerful and powerful trying to obtain the land of free farmers, but that these farmers cannot survive and have to start selling their land.
This time the epidemic has lost a lot of children, otherwise Lin Yu believes that before this wave of land sales, there should be a lot of people selling children and daughters first.Renyazi is still busy now, but compared to the scene after the original catastrophe, it is already much lighter.It's just that it's even more sad.
Guan Yazi didn't expect that the young magistrate would care about such a thing. While telling his life experience, he couldn't help but rejoice that this time Xinghua Prefecture really bumped into a very good official.
Ren Yazi would also think that if those children were still alive, they might not necessarily be sold if they met such a magistrate.
Many children also entered the government office. Lin Yu gave an order, and Yazi, who was a little conscientious in the house, stuffed the good seedlings in his hands into the government office.Those parents who had to sell themselves to survive, or had to sell their children, felt a lot more relieved when they knew that they might be sent to the magistrate's side.
They believed that Lin Yu would treat these children kindly.
Lin Yu has tried to keep as many of those children as possible, and Bai Shu's eyes are dazzled by picking people these days.Anyone who signed the death contract and did not intend to reunite with their original family members, or who had lost their family members at all, notified Chenlong, and a boatload was sent to Gusu.
Those who signed the contract of living and still wanted to reunite with their families stayed in the magistrate's office so that they could meet with their families occasionally.Bai Shu was still thinking about Nanny Liu's instructions. This time, she saw a few good little girls who didn't know what to do, so she ordered Chenlong to send her directly to the capital, and asked Nanny Liu to tune|teach her. After a few years, she would It works.
When the decree didn't work, Lin Yu had to let Lin Yu's own financial resources play a role.He would not think that this was his failure as a ruler, and he himself was dancing in shackles.As long as the result can meet his expectations, he actually doesn't care much about the process.
The purpose of launching Chang Zilan is very simple, let him take a large sum of money to compete with those rich people who are desperately buying land at a low price.The 1 silver is far from enough, but behind him is the magistrate of Xinghua Prefecture.
The only thing to worry about is, when the land price of the whole Xinghua Prefecture is halved, and the 1 silver is spent, will the Chang family who came here smelling fishy smell buy land at half the price.After all, the 1 silver was enough to save face.
In fact, until now, no other powerful people in the prefecture city have come to extend their hands. First, the name of Xinghua Mansion has just been associated with the epidemic; The hands of these people.
Until Lin Yu personally let the big fish Chang Zilan in, it muddied the muddy water.
Until this time, Lin Yu didn't end up in person.However, before the Chang family came, he had to grasp the situation and take enough benefits to make these sharks who came smelling fish put down the fish in front of them and willingly follow his pace.
"It really didn't give me too many choices." Lin Yu muttered, and asked Wang Ziteng to come.
Wang Ziteng had already started to pack his luggage slowly, preparing to leave Xinghua Mansion.After all, the epidemic has been brought under control, and he still has the job of patrolling the border.The harvest in the past six months is already the most he has gained in the past two years, and now he is additionally named a general from the Yipinzhu Kingdom.No matter what happens in the future, this moment is indeed the most beautiful moment since he was ordered to patrol the border.
Hearing the report from the servants, Lin Yu was invited. Although he was surprised, he was happy to go.I have to say that in the past ten years, Lin Yu has been the most pleasing official junior to him.Even though, as soon as the two met, Lin Yu gave him a blow.
However, the so-called face is not as important as the power in one's hand?
When the prince arrived, Lin Yu had already made tea.Seeing him sitting down unceremoniously, he smiled and said: "The 5 taels of silver around Uncle Shi haven't been spent yet, but it will come in handy now."
Wang Ziteng told him that he was at a loss when he said a word, and thought, the difficulty before was still useless.Why do you want this little money now?But he still knows how to spend money, so he smiled and said: "What is it worth, Master Zi will send someone to send it in a while."
Lin Yu shook his head, and said, "It's not that my nephew wants to use it, but my nephew wants to give you a big gift." He clapped his hands, and got the fish scale book on the sumu floor.
Wang Ziteng was frightened by his big gift, and for a moment cold sweat broke out on his back, and a trace of coldness rushed to the back of his head.He laughed dryly, and said, "Nephew's great gift is not easy to eat." Unconsciously, he raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup. He looked at the fish scale book in Lin Yu's hand and calmed down, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the nephew wants to ask the uncle to buy the land?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "This is one."
He opened the fish scale book, which was densely packed with graphics marking the shape of the land and the owner's information. However, compared to the fish scale book that Wang Ziteng had seen before, the book in Lin Yu's hand was full of small characters. It's much more concise.Compared with the circle with the owner's name on it, the word "for sale" is marked on a lot of land, which is particularly conspicuous.
Wang Ziteng snorted, took the booklet from Lin Yu's hand, carefully flipped through the pages, and said seriously, "There are so many unowned lands?"
"It's not unowned, it's just that the original owner's family will not be able to survive." The real unowned land has been reclaimed by Lin Yu, and these are made by Chou Niu and Liu Xianglian after traveling all over the countryside during this period .Lin Yu said lightly, "In the market, whether it is a top-grade field or a middle-to-low-grade field, the price has already been halved. If this continues, public grievances will arise sooner or later."
"Half the price!" Wang Ziteng listened, and had to say that he was a little moved.At this time, people's longing for land is probably innate. The poor hope to have a piece of land to stand on, and the rich hope to have more and more land under their names, as if this will give them a sense of security.Until hundreds of years later, the Chinese people's mentality in this regard still remained, but it was passed on to the house.
Those who don’t have one want to have one, and those who have one feel that it’s not safe enough, so they quickly buy another one if they have spare money.It's hard to say that those real estate speculators didn't take advantage of this mentality.
"These places are just small heads." Lin Yu didn't care about Wang Ziteng's excited appearance, and waved Su Mu to bring a heart-saving eight-treasure brocade box, which is usually used to put some candied fruits, and put it in front of Wang Ziteng, saying , "This is the big gift I want to give you."
Wang Ziteng took a look. In the center of the circle, there were several square pieces of snow-white... candy?He picked up a piece and tasted it, and the sweet taste was not quite the same as he had imagined.He glanced at Lin Yu suspiciously, and seeing him smiling, he picked up a piece of transparent crystal next to him, and took a sip.It's still sugar, but it tastes a little different from the previous one.
"Are these all sugar?" He asked in surprise, and saw that there were loose sugar as white as snow and more pure red brown sugar, which was also red lumps Brick-shaped candies, all fruit-flavored fruit candies in one bite.
They are all ordinary and ordinary things, but they are better than those used by the government and officials in his impression.
Wang Ziteng probably understood what kind of gift Lin Yu wanted to give him. I have to say that although this gift was not so heavy compared to cowpox, it was not so scary.He tentatively asked: "How about the cost?" Even if it is more expensive than the current sugar production, he naturally has a way to give the selling price.
"Basically, it is [-]% less than the original sugar production, and some can be [-]% less." Lin Yu said with a casual smile, "If we control the sugarcane raw tea and production, then at least [-]% can be reduced .”
Then he heard a thud, and the already stunned Wang Ziteng swallowed hard.
After listening to Lin Yu's words, Wang Ziteng realized how different the so-called gift he guessed just now was from what Lin Yu said.This is really a real gift!Even if he valued power more, he couldn't refuse such a temptation.
If, in his imagination, these better-quality candies can only go through the high-level route, the low cost in Lin Yu's mouth is doomed to the [-] million people in the entire Dajing Dynasty, even if only one of the four people can afford it, It is a huge to terrible wealth.
Moreover, those who can't afford it can naturally choose lower quality ones. According to Lin Yu, the cost will only be lower this way.So, even sugar is not something that is necessary like salt.However, sugar is not like salt, the government is very tight!
Who would think too much money, seeing such a huge amount of wealth in front of Wang Ziteng, no wonder he made such an unseemly voice.
"However, our two families alone cannot keep such a fortune." Lin Yu poured a basin of cold water on the prince at this time, "Only in this place can sugar cane grow well, and the sweetness is higher. We need local snakes to watch over here." This is another reason why he launched the Chang family.
He intends to turn the entire Xinghua Mansion into a huge sugar production workshop, so that those landless farmers can also have a subsistence livelihood.And as long as the business continues, the Chang family, which is based in Quanzhou Prefecture, cannot avoid Lin Yu's eyes.If there is anything wrong, Lin Yu can react immediately.
What's more, in his plan, he has a whole term to cultivate the foundation in Xinghua Mansion.Unlike Gusu, where he has occupied the entire gray area bit by bit, two years is enough for him to carve his mark on this prefecture inside and out.
Wang Ziteng frowned slightly, but had to admit that Lin Yu's words were correct.In the future, neither he nor Lin Yu will stay in a remote southern prefecture forever.
If there is no support from the power captured in the capital, such a business will not last long before it will be robbed by others.
Then, finding a reliable ground snake is a very important thing.
Wang Ziteng pondered for a while, and said: "The uncle is going to continue to patrol the border, I'm afraid I have to worry about the things here." He also promised, "Just write to me if you want anything, and the uncle will keep his eyes open." one time."
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Since Uncle Shi is willing, let me distribute it." He laughed again, "I bought the land earlier, and my nephew paid for it at the original price. Uncle Shi feels distressed."
Wang Ziteng smiled generously: "Huaijin has a heart of loving the people, and the people of Xinghua Mansion are blessed."
The two agreed and looked at each other with a smile.
In this world, like him, there are very few people who can tell a person's face at a glance.Originally, there was Master Jingyi from Suzhou, but she has already gone.Earlier, Bai Daru rushed to Suzhou to see her for the last time, but he didn't see her after all.
That's it.
Lin Yu originally wanted to ask a question, but seeing that the old man seemed to have completely forgotten about it, he put aside this concentration and buried himself in the copybook.With the help of Bai Shier and Guan Yunfei, Liu Qiuchi relaxed a lot.But before he could be lazy for a long time, Lin Yu dragged him into a pit of inspecting the surrounding towns.
Xin Zongping, Master Bai and several of his disciples have met each other, but he is suffering from acne, and he can't go anywhere for the time being, so he can only lie on the bed and rest with peace of mind.
However, Lin Yu found him the local county annals and the like, so that he could read them for entertainment when he was free.
"The population in the village is not denser than that in the prefectural city, and the area affected is not large. However, it is still depressed." Lin Yu pulled the rein of the horse and looked at the barren field. Occasionally, a few people appeared in it, bending over.Seeing them, they hurriedly avoid them, and then stood far away, or knelt down and kowtowed silently.
"Just wait until spring begins." Liu Qiuchi was also worried. With Xinghua Mansion at this point, the epidemic can be said to be the most important thing, and how to resume production is the top priority. I don’t know how to get through it.” The so-called green and yellow, it’s not long before the beginning of spring.Spring plowing has begun, and the maturity period is far from being reached, but the old grain has already been eaten.Ordinary people have a surplus of grain in their households, but no one dares to say how much grain is left after natural and man-made disasters.
"The people don't have any surplus grain, and the treasury still has grain in stock. If it's not enough, you can still buy grain." Lin Yu got off the horse, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the soil, felt the moisture under his hand, and said, "You can't eat enough, but you can't die of hunger. "
Seeing that he let go of the soil in his hand, Liu Qiuchi stood up, hurriedly ordered someone to take out the prepared water bag to wash his hands, and complained: "Just ask an old farmer to come over and ask, why bother to touch it yourself, what are you doing?" I know if it has just been retting fat."
Lin Yu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Now is not the time to fertilize." He had experimented with the method of intercropping on his own farm, and had also experimented with the fertility of the land, and he was not ignorant of agronomy, so he sighed, "After so much Once it happens, I'm afraid the land annexation will be serious again."
In fact, the situation was already beginning to emerge. Liu Qiuchi had already seen a dozen large and small contracts for selling fields and land in the classroom.He frowned, "After the catastrophe, the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer. I'm afraid this momentum will be unstoppable." Poor families will not sell their fields unless they have to.Pressing them not to sell it is not the way to do it.
"Is the price fair?" Lin Yu asked.
"What's fair?" Liu Qiuchi sneered and said, "What good price can you get for selling land at this time, but it's just being slaughtered." In this way, more and more poor peasants are selling their land.Last year, there were two incidents in succession, which really emptied the meager foundation of too many small farmers.
"It can't go on like this." The two slipped around and went back to the city under the respectful eyes of the people. Lin Yu had various ideas in his mind, and said, "Nowadays, the world is full of rice in Huguang, and the price of food here is high." It has never been high." In fact, this place is located in the south and belongs to the subtropical climate, and rice is harvested twice a year, so Lin Yu dared to say that he can't eat enough, but he will definitely not die of hunger.
Liu Qiuchi knew the elegant meaning when he heard the stringed song, and asked with his head tilted: "But if you don't grow food, how will you get through the temporary difficulties?" Changing seeds is not a small matter, and the people are hungry, so they may not be happy.Even if Lin Yu's prestige was gambled on such a thing, it was hard to say.
Also, changing the planting mode in one place, from food crops to cash crops is not something that can be accomplished overnight with a single government order.However, Xinghua Mansion is now in a state of waste, so if you want to do something, now is the most suitable time.Lin Yu does not intend to give up this opportunity, but the method still needs to be discussed.
As for the cash crops to be planted, he has some ideas in mind, but he still needs to plan carefully.
When I returned to the government office, I heard a report from inside that the young master of the Chang family had arrived.
"Where's the salt?" Lin Yu asked first, "Is the bill settled?"
Su Mu followed him step by step, and said: "The salt has been put into the warehouse first. The account has not been settled, and the housekeeper who escorted the car did not dare to accept it." He couldn't give the bank note to Mr. Chang's family, it had to be done by the Lin Yu stepped forward.Originally, compared to the little money, the Chang family came here more for favors.
In the side hall, Chang Zilan, who was sitting and drinking tea, raised her eyes and saw a young man walking in three strides in two strides, with a riding whip in his hand and slammed it into the hand of the servant behind him. hand over.Despite such a dusty appearance, it was strangely not disrespectful.
He thought to himself, this is the grandson-in-law of the descendant of the direct branch in the capital, he hurriedly got up and said: "Chang's Zilan has seen the prefect of Lin." In the clan, their family has always been close to the direct branch.Therefore, this time, Lin Yu came to Xinghua Prefecture to serve as the magistrate, and the Chang University scholar also sent a letter to his family.The words are simple, that is, if this head of Lin Yu needs anything, they will do their best to meet it.
Their family is close to the direct branch, and now the grand master of the direct branch is also a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.Therefore, their family has always been able to talk in the clan, and the benefits have never been lacking.This time, because of the possibility of going to Xinghua Mansion, there were quite a few people in the clan who secretly talked bitterly and took pleasure in other's misfortune.
However, as his father said.On weekdays, they benefit the most, and when the direct branch is in use, it is naturally incumbent on them.Chang Zilan was deeply convinced.Simply, it's not that there are no acne in the family, even if it is dangerous, it is limited.
However, the family waited for a long time, but they did not wait for the letter from Xinghua Mansion.Half a year later, everything in Xinghua Mansion was stable as usual, and there was no smallpox patient in the three neighboring mansions.The Chang family knew that nothing happened.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a letter came from Xinghua Mansion instead.
Perhaps it was out of gratitude to Lin Yu for not ordering them at the most chaotic time, or maybe out of prudence in the instructions of Chang Daxun, as soon as they received Lin Yu's letter, they tried their best to raise funds according to the requirements of the above. He bought more salt and escorted him to Xinghua Mansion.The tens of thousands of catties of salt was [-]% more than what Lin Yu originally requested.
Even if it was just the price of private salt, the salt merchant wiped off the change for the sake of the Chang University scholar, which also cost their family 1 taels of silver.It's not that the salt merchant doesn't want to give it away for free, but even if he gives it away, the Chang family doesn't want to accept it.Those who are salt merchants are not human beings, and they can't completely refuse to give them any face. It is also a meaning to erase the fraction of thousands of taels of silver.
The two met each other, and when the guests and hosts were seated, Chang Zilan couldn't wait to say: "The prefect of Lin has both talents. According to Xiaosheng's journey, Xinghua prefecture has already had a bit of prosperity in the past. In just half a year, the prefect is really amazing. .” He has the reputation of a scholar, but he can’t pass the exam no matter what.For such a big man, he had no choice but to call himself Xiaosheng in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu already knew that the Chang family had sent over [-]% more salt, and the total amount was more than [-] catties.If he wanted to, he could still socialize very well, as if he had only been a bachelor's servant for a few months, and now he felt that he was very suitable for him.Facing Chang Zilan's flattery, she said with a smile: "The two families are relatives by marriage, so there's no need to be so polite. Zilan will still be my elder brother in the future, so it's fine to just call me Huai Jin. "
That Chang Zilan blushed slightly, and said, "That Zilan will be taken care of."
The two chatted for a while, and when Su Mu served the tea, Lin Yu said, "The treasury has already been counted, and the total amount of salt is 1 catties. According to the price of salt in Quanzhou, it should be 1 taels of silver. Later, I will call Su Mu to hand over."
Then Chang Zilan quickly waved her hand and said: "Don't dare, the master has been talking about it at home, and wants to contribute to the Xinghua Mansion. But there has never been a chance. Since your letter, the master is very happy , and sent me here in a hurry. If you go back with money, Xiaosheng will be punished. Huaijin will do you a favor!"
Seeing how he was trying to make it together, Lin Yu turned his head and said with a smile, "It's a matter in the government office, so I can't ask you to pay for nothing. Besides, 1 taels of silver is not a small sum." He knocked The desk desk said, "In this way, I happen to have a difficult matter, so you take this money to do it for me, how about it?"
Chang Zilan felt apprehensive when she heard this, and seeing Lin Yu's unquestionable expression, she got up and said, "Dare not to follow orders."
Xiaoniujiao Village was originally a village with a thriving family. Most of the people in the village were surnamed Li, so it was also called Lijia Village.However, no matter how good the village is, a smallpox epidemic is enough to bring a reasonably well-to-do family back to abject poverty.Even the house of Li Quande, the landlord in the village, is struggling now, and it will take about two years to recover.
Landlords' homes are all in this situation, let alone those ordinary farmers. The whole village exudes a sense of depression, and occasionally there are one or two short cries, which are nothing but dry howls.
Li Er's family is also in a normal situation, and selling the land is already a no-brainer.He originally thought that the character of Quande in the village was good, and the price of selling it to him would not be too low, and it would be easy to redeem it when he had money in the future.It was only after I found Quande that I realized that no one in the village was a fool, and there were many people begging him to buy land. As a result, even the richest Quande family could not spend much money to buy land in the village.
He has been digging in the land for a lifetime, and he doesn't want to sell the land, but what can he do, the family must survive!He is also thoughtful, there are not many people in the land now, and the landlord will still have to rely on them to cultivate the land, and slowly endure it for a few more years. If the year is good, he may be able to get up.
If this year is not good, it is fate!He smacked the cigarette holder, and there was not a single spark in the cigarette pot.
Landlords in the village can't afford so many fields, but there are so many houses in the city, they have been eyeing the land for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity to buy so many that can be connected into a large area.
Anyone with a little knowledge and a little money in their hands is very good at camping these days.People are busy, and those brokers are even busier.Their noses are sharper than dogs, their appetites are more greedy than wolves, and their consciences have penetrated into the eyes of money and can no longer be seen.
This is the same in Lijia Village, the people from the dental shop brought the rich masters in batches, but the prices they offered were getting lower and lower every day.A good field is fertile and moist. After planting crops and taking care of them a little, there will be a bumper harvest year after year.
One tael of silver per mu of land, and no more money will be given, Li Er thought, his great-grandfather worked so hard to earn such ten mu of land, two taels of money and three quarters of an mu, now he opens his mouth for one tael, and even more Get some farm tools to add to the head.
What kind of world is this? It doesn't make sense!No matter how much Li Er thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Why did he make a tael from two, two, five, and three cents in a good field?This is fate, so tell him to die with him!
He looked at the two babies on the couch in the dark room who didn't have much strength to cry. It was only the three of them, so they all went to their mothers!
Li Er carried the two babies in his weak hands and walked out. Even if the people in the village saw him, they were silent, and they were stingy even when they greeted him.Perhaps, they all knew what Li Er wanted to do.Is this kind of thought turning around in their hearts?
There is a large field beside the village, and it didn't take him much effort to walk to the end of the field.Li Er rolled his eyes with difficulty, thinking, how could he die?It seemed that when things were coming to an end, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
There was a clatter of horseshoes, but it failed to attract Li Er's attention. He was full of thoughts, how could this person die with this land?Doesn't seem to work.He didn't think of a reason until the sound of horseshoes stopped beside him.
Chang Zilan, who was riding a tall horse, didn't notice this villager who was holding two children and was already a little abnormal. He was full of Lin Yu's orders, and he was really puzzled, so he had to follow his request first. .
He didn't go to any dental shop either, he was slowly helping manage the household affairs, he knew the rules of that business.
The so-called tooth line, mastering the information at both ends is the key.They generally have a good relationship with the officials in the government, and it is indeed faster to do things.It's a trivial matter to spend some money.Generally speaking, it is cheaper than going to the yamen to do errands and rewarding those officials.
However, according to prefect Lin, there are people selling land in eight of the ten villages, but the situation in Lijia Village is the most serious. He just dragged a pawn who knew the way and came here.Moreover, the current government office under Lin Yu is different from the ones in the past. The original officials were cleaned up by Lin Yu, but now a few hard-working and honest scholars are working. The money relationship between them is broken.If you really want to buy land, it is better to inquire patiently for a period of time than to pay an extra sum of money to find a dental firm.
Chang Zilan asked Li Er while thinking, "Old man, is this the Li Family Village?"
Li Er is actually not old. He has two children, one is five years old and the other is only three years old. He is actually only in his thirties.However, the gray hair, hunchback, black and gray face, and dark, dull eyes made Chang Zilan think that he was already an old man in his fifties or sixties.
"It's Li Family Village." Li Er nodded, as if he had repeated it dozens or hundreds of times, and asked dumbly, "Master, is he buying land?"
Chang Zilan was about to get on her horse and walk towards the village. Seeing this man standing on the ground, it must be their family's land, so she smiled and said, "I'm here to buy land, how do you know?"
"It's good to buy land, everyone in the village is selling it!" Li Er nodded without hearing anything, and asked self-consciously, "How much is an acre!" He asked, but didn't look up at Chang Zilan, as if Chatting casually like this, I never thought about knowing the answer.
Chang Zilan finally felt something was wrong this time, he winked at the little pawn beside him, and said cautiously: "The original market price is [-] yuan per mu for upper fields, [-] yuan for medium ones, and [-] yuan for low-grade ones. Look!"
Li Er's stunned eyes moved, Chang Zilan's voice seemed to have finally reached his ears from a distant place, he turned around abruptly, and licked his lips: "How much?"
Liu Qiuchi watched silently as Lin Yu threw the rice paper with the green seedling method written in his hand into the charcoal basin, and it burned until only ashes remained.The Qingmiao method originally came from Wang Anshi's new policy in the Song Dynasty. He had read it and knew that Lin Yu's method had made many improvements.If this method is followed, in just one year, it will be enough for the people of Xinghua to recover.
However, seeing that Lin Yu finally gave up on this method.Liu Qiuchi moved his lips, originally wanted to say something, but finally heaved a long sigh.
He found that since he came to Xinghua Mansion, he has sighed more than his previous life added up.
Every time, he watched Lin Yu come up with one unthinkable but effective solution after careful planning.Then, due to reality, one after another was denied.
It's like the green crop law, which is equivalent to the government's low-interest lending to farmers' seedlings, farm tools and other items.Farmers have these, as long as they can survive this lean time under the relief supplies, they will be able to survive.There is no need to sell the land that is regarded as life, and at the same time, land mergers are curbed.It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Lin Yu's worries were correct, and the young crop method was a good method.But how Wang Anshi failed in the first place, this method will fail for the same reason.
The system is dead, but people are alive.Even if Lin Yu was still able to suppress the upper and lower hands, the nature of the bureaucracy would not change.It is impossible for him to stay in Xinghua Mansion for a lifetime. Instead of believing in the integrity of the latecomers, he believes in the community of interests.
At least, even if he leaves at that time, as long as the business is still there, he will not be afraid that the people in this prefecture will lose their livelihood.
"One Chang family and one Lin family are not enough." If you want to do it, then do it absolutely.Lin Yu wanted to join forces with local snakes, so he simply managed the entire Xinghua, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Fuzhou Prefecture next door. With visible benefits, they naturally would not allow later officials to stretch out their hands indiscriminately.
Liu Qiuchi didn't know what Lin Yu was planning, but when he heard that the Chang family and the Lin family were not enough, he shuddered a little.Maybe he doesn't know enough about the power of the Lin family, but he does know enough about the power of the Chang family that has been entrenched in Quanzhou for a hundred years.
"Autumn Pond."
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Liu Qiuchi quickly withdrew his thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how many people grow sugar cane here, and how many lands there are in total?" Lin Yu thought about it, but still used sugar as an entry point.Just like salt, sugar is inconspicuous, but it can be said that there are few people in the country who do not like sweetness.Well done, this business is much better than smuggling foreign goods.
Liu Qiuchi understood Lin Yu's meaning, and said, "I'm going to find the original records." Lin Yu stopped him with his hand, and said, "The information recorded by those officials has too many mistakes and omissions, and there is not much reference value. Looking back, I Go find Liu Xianglian and let him go to the market to inquire about it, it will be faster than you can turn the pages of a book."
"That's right, we're so busy, and he's just wandering around in the market, so we should find him some work." Liu Qiuchi laughed, "However, although this sugarcane is good, it's not a meal after all. The farmers who originally grew grain may not be willing change."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Those who can still afford seedlings, let them go. They can grow whatever they like. Those who can't even afford seedlings, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep the land." Lan Xing went out to do just such a thing.
Unlike what Liu Qiuchi misunderstood, Liu Xianglian got very good news from the market.He was also the first to notice the signs of buying and selling land again, and immediately notified Lin Yu.
Compared with the price that the field should have, the current price has gradually dropped, and it has dropped to half of the original price.Lin Yu had no way to issue a decree ordering the rich to buy land at normal prices, let alone prohibit land sales.Land annexation in Xinghua Prefecture is no longer a matter of the powerful and powerful trying to obtain the land of free farmers, but that these farmers cannot survive and have to start selling their land.
This time the epidemic has lost a lot of children, otherwise Lin Yu believes that before this wave of land sales, there should be a lot of people selling children and daughters first.Renyazi is still busy now, but compared to the scene after the original catastrophe, it is already much lighter.It's just that it's even more sad.
Guan Yazi didn't expect that the young magistrate would care about such a thing. While telling his life experience, he couldn't help but rejoice that this time Xinghua Prefecture really bumped into a very good official.
Ren Yazi would also think that if those children were still alive, they might not necessarily be sold if they met such a magistrate.
Many children also entered the government office. Lin Yu gave an order, and Yazi, who was a little conscientious in the house, stuffed the good seedlings in his hands into the government office.Those parents who had to sell themselves to survive, or had to sell their children, felt a lot more relieved when they knew that they might be sent to the magistrate's side.
They believed that Lin Yu would treat these children kindly.
Lin Yu has tried to keep as many of those children as possible, and Bai Shu's eyes are dazzled by picking people these days.Anyone who signed the death contract and did not intend to reunite with their original family members, or who had lost their family members at all, notified Chenlong, and a boatload was sent to Gusu.
Those who signed the contract of living and still wanted to reunite with their families stayed in the magistrate's office so that they could meet with their families occasionally.Bai Shu was still thinking about Nanny Liu's instructions. This time, she saw a few good little girls who didn't know what to do, so she ordered Chenlong to send her directly to the capital, and asked Nanny Liu to tune|teach her. After a few years, she would It works.
When the decree didn't work, Lin Yu had to let Lin Yu's own financial resources play a role.He would not think that this was his failure as a ruler, and he himself was dancing in shackles.As long as the result can meet his expectations, he actually doesn't care much about the process.
The purpose of launching Chang Zilan is very simple, let him take a large sum of money to compete with those rich people who are desperately buying land at a low price.The 1 silver is far from enough, but behind him is the magistrate of Xinghua Prefecture.
The only thing to worry about is, when the land price of the whole Xinghua Prefecture is halved, and the 1 silver is spent, will the Chang family who came here smelling fishy smell buy land at half the price.After all, the 1 silver was enough to save face.
In fact, until now, no other powerful people in the prefecture city have come to extend their hands. First, the name of Xinghua Mansion has just been associated with the epidemic; The hands of these people.
Until Lin Yu personally let the big fish Chang Zilan in, it muddied the muddy water.
Until this time, Lin Yu didn't end up in person.However, before the Chang family came, he had to grasp the situation and take enough benefits to make these sharks who came smelling fish put down the fish in front of them and willingly follow his pace.
"It really didn't give me too many choices." Lin Yu muttered, and asked Wang Ziteng to come.
Wang Ziteng had already started to pack his luggage slowly, preparing to leave Xinghua Mansion.After all, the epidemic has been brought under control, and he still has the job of patrolling the border.The harvest in the past six months is already the most he has gained in the past two years, and now he is additionally named a general from the Yipinzhu Kingdom.No matter what happens in the future, this moment is indeed the most beautiful moment since he was ordered to patrol the border.
Hearing the report from the servants, Lin Yu was invited. Although he was surprised, he was happy to go.I have to say that in the past ten years, Lin Yu has been the most pleasing official junior to him.Even though, as soon as the two met, Lin Yu gave him a blow.
However, the so-called face is not as important as the power in one's hand?
When the prince arrived, Lin Yu had already made tea.Seeing him sitting down unceremoniously, he smiled and said: "The 5 taels of silver around Uncle Shi haven't been spent yet, but it will come in handy now."
Wang Ziteng told him that he was at a loss when he said a word, and thought, the difficulty before was still useless.Why do you want this little money now?But he still knows how to spend money, so he smiled and said: "What is it worth, Master Zi will send someone to send it in a while."
Lin Yu shook his head, and said, "It's not that my nephew wants to use it, but my nephew wants to give you a big gift." He clapped his hands, and got the fish scale book on the sumu floor.
Wang Ziteng was frightened by his big gift, and for a moment cold sweat broke out on his back, and a trace of coldness rushed to the back of his head.He laughed dryly, and said, "Nephew's great gift is not easy to eat." Unconsciously, he raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup. He looked at the fish scale book in Lin Yu's hand and calmed down, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that the nephew wants to ask the uncle to buy the land?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "This is one."
He opened the fish scale book, which was densely packed with graphics marking the shape of the land and the owner's information. However, compared to the fish scale book that Wang Ziteng had seen before, the book in Lin Yu's hand was full of small characters. It's much more concise.Compared with the circle with the owner's name on it, the word "for sale" is marked on a lot of land, which is particularly conspicuous.
Wang Ziteng snorted, took the booklet from Lin Yu's hand, carefully flipped through the pages, and said seriously, "There are so many unowned lands?"
"It's not unowned, it's just that the original owner's family will not be able to survive." The real unowned land has been reclaimed by Lin Yu, and these are made by Chou Niu and Liu Xianglian after traveling all over the countryside during this period .Lin Yu said lightly, "In the market, whether it is a top-grade field or a middle-to-low-grade field, the price has already been halved. If this continues, public grievances will arise sooner or later."
"Half the price!" Wang Ziteng listened, and had to say that he was a little moved.At this time, people's longing for land is probably innate. The poor hope to have a piece of land to stand on, and the rich hope to have more and more land under their names, as if this will give them a sense of security.Until hundreds of years later, the Chinese people's mentality in this regard still remained, but it was passed on to the house.
Those who don’t have one want to have one, and those who have one feel that it’s not safe enough, so they quickly buy another one if they have spare money.It's hard to say that those real estate speculators didn't take advantage of this mentality.
"These places are just small heads." Lin Yu didn't care about Wang Ziteng's excited appearance, and waved Su Mu to bring a heart-saving eight-treasure brocade box, which is usually used to put some candied fruits, and put it in front of Wang Ziteng, saying , "This is the big gift I want to give you."
Wang Ziteng took a look. In the center of the circle, there were several square pieces of snow-white... candy?He picked up a piece and tasted it, and the sweet taste was not quite the same as he had imagined.He glanced at Lin Yu suspiciously, and seeing him smiling, he picked up a piece of transparent crystal next to him, and took a sip.It's still sugar, but it tastes a little different from the previous one.
"Are these all sugar?" He asked in surprise, and saw that there were loose sugar as white as snow and more pure red brown sugar, which was also red lumps Brick-shaped candies, all fruit-flavored fruit candies in one bite.
They are all ordinary and ordinary things, but they are better than those used by the government and officials in his impression.
Wang Ziteng probably understood what kind of gift Lin Yu wanted to give him. I have to say that although this gift was not so heavy compared to cowpox, it was not so scary.He tentatively asked: "How about the cost?" Even if it is more expensive than the current sugar production, he naturally has a way to give the selling price.
"Basically, it is [-]% less than the original sugar production, and some can be [-]% less." Lin Yu said with a casual smile, "If we control the sugarcane raw tea and production, then at least [-]% can be reduced .”
Then he heard a thud, and the already stunned Wang Ziteng swallowed hard.
After listening to Lin Yu's words, Wang Ziteng realized how different the so-called gift he guessed just now was from what Lin Yu said.This is really a real gift!Even if he valued power more, he couldn't refuse such a temptation.
If, in his imagination, these better-quality candies can only go through the high-level route, the low cost in Lin Yu's mouth is doomed to the [-] million people in the entire Dajing Dynasty, even if only one of the four people can afford it, It is a huge to terrible wealth.
Moreover, those who can't afford it can naturally choose lower quality ones. According to Lin Yu, the cost will only be lower this way.So, even sugar is not something that is necessary like salt.However, sugar is not like salt, the government is very tight!
Who would think too much money, seeing such a huge amount of wealth in front of Wang Ziteng, no wonder he made such an unseemly voice.
"However, our two families alone cannot keep such a fortune." Lin Yu poured a basin of cold water on the prince at this time, "Only in this place can sugar cane grow well, and the sweetness is higher. We need local snakes to watch over here." This is another reason why he launched the Chang family.
He intends to turn the entire Xinghua Mansion into a huge sugar production workshop, so that those landless farmers can also have a subsistence livelihood.And as long as the business continues, the Chang family, which is based in Quanzhou Prefecture, cannot avoid Lin Yu's eyes.If there is anything wrong, Lin Yu can react immediately.
What's more, in his plan, he has a whole term to cultivate the foundation in Xinghua Mansion.Unlike Gusu, where he has occupied the entire gray area bit by bit, two years is enough for him to carve his mark on this prefecture inside and out.
Wang Ziteng frowned slightly, but had to admit that Lin Yu's words were correct.In the future, neither he nor Lin Yu will stay in a remote southern prefecture forever.
If there is no support from the power captured in the capital, such a business will not last long before it will be robbed by others.
Then, finding a reliable ground snake is a very important thing.
Wang Ziteng pondered for a while, and said: "The uncle is going to continue to patrol the border, I'm afraid I have to worry about the things here." He also promised, "Just write to me if you want anything, and the uncle will keep his eyes open." one time."
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Since Uncle Shi is willing, let me distribute it." He laughed again, "I bought the land earlier, and my nephew paid for it at the original price. Uncle Shi feels distressed."
Wang Ziteng smiled generously: "Huaijin has a heart of loving the people, and the people of Xinghua Mansion are blessed."
The two agreed and looked at each other with a smile.
