Chapter 397
Although there is only one state and two counties, Cao Cao's tax revenue is good, especially the industry and commerce are relatively active. After all, the imperial capital is located and the economy is not good, it can only be said to be the incompetence of officials, and it cannot even be described as "mediocre".
Especially when newspapers began to make profits, merchants began to come to advertise one after another, not only could they balance the income and expenditure, but they could also start to transfusion blood to the treasury. Seeing that the newspapers were more and more income, Wang Yun was happy for the gradual strength of the court, and on the other hand, he was worried about the "Silin Weekly" being half-dead.
If the court is rich, it can naturally do something else. The military expenditure is guaranteed, so we have to worry about people's livelihood issues. There are only two issues of people's livelihood: the resettlement of refugees and how to improve people's labor efficiency.
"My chefs entrusted Wanshiwu to conduct a survey. More than 70% of the people who have eaten breakfast are more efficient than those who have not eaten breakfast. The survey results are based on the results of several states and are more authoritative!" Cao Cao took out a result and announced at the court meeting.
"Those who can eat breakfast are generally wealthy, and naturally they have more strength than ordinary people. This is nothing strange." Wang Yun didn't think so.
"So, if we can get a bad family background and have breakfast, can we improve our efficiency by 40%?" Cao Cao was waiting for her to ask this question.
"What do you mean is the government subsidy for local governments? How much does it cost?" Wang Yun shook his head, it was completely a sound of spending money.
"It seems to cost money, but the chef under my command has counted it. The result may not only not only do we don't spend money, but we may also make money..." Cao Cao said slowly. When she first heard about this statement, she couldn't believe it. The problem was that when she told Xun Yu, the latter agreed with this point of view after thinking about it.
She knew Xun Yu's character that even if she was a relative, if the plan was unreasonable, she would not pass it.
"Let me tell me!" Liu Xie immediately stated that if nothing else, since it was Wang Yong's investigation result, she wanted to hear it. In a blink of an eye, her belly had been almost four months and had begun to bulge slightly. The bigger the belly, the more she became, the more she missed Wang Yong.
Many times when Wang Yong enters the palace, she even can't bear to leave him.
"I will explain it briefly..." Cao Cao nodded, "We set up a sunshine breakfast workshop in each county, which specializes in the production of breakfast, such as buns, steamed buns, soy milk, etc. Then, after a symbolic charge of a small amount, it will be handed over to the refugees for sale, and the unified planning and unified price is still used, and the name "Sunshine Breakfast" is still used to sell it to the public. In other words, the people of each county and township can buy cheap and delicious breakfasts in the nearby places!"
After a pause, he continued: "All foods have a shelf life of one or two days, so that they can avoid reselling. Besides, there are outlets everywhere, and steamed buns costing two cents. Why do you have to spend a penny to buy them from someone else's place? People are not fools, so they naturally know how to trade!"
"Will you compete for profit with the people?" Yang Biao stood up. After all, because pasta became popular, many shops also started to sell breakfast. Will the court compete for profit with the people?
"No, because our ingredients are poor and the taste is not as good as carefully made, which is also to reduce costs. However, for people who cannot eat enough or cannot afford to eat breakfast on average, it is a good choice!" Cao Cao had known how to answer for a long time.
Those who can really afford breakfast naturally don’t have to buy it at Sunshine Breakfast. Those who can’t afford it will not buy it at ordinary breakfast shops, so there will be no situation of competing for profit with the people. Besides, the court only charges some fees symbolically, and the operators make money are also the people. In other words, the court is the only one who suffers from the loss.
"Okay, but at present we only see the convenience of this thing, but how to make a profit... You should know that for a workshop like this in each county, how many people and how much materials are needed? It's just a symbolic collection of some money, which is a loss!" Wang Yun asked.
"It seems like this, but what?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yun, "It is precisely because of the large amount of manpower that many refugees are placed. At the same time, due to the large amount of materials consumed, the recent decline in the autumn harvest of grain prices can be alleviated and the pressure to settle the position can be reduced.
The food in the hands of the people can be sold at a good price, they also need life and various daily necessities. Therefore, they will also drive other economies, and finally return to the treasury as taxes. We use this tax to subsidize the sunny breakfast below, forming a virtuous cycle. People who eat full will improve their work efficiency, so that all the economies controlled by the court will be improved, and the wages of the key people will also be increased. After they have money, the people will buy supplies again, so the tax will be further increased..."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at the officials of the court: "In this way, sunny breakfast can not only make our people healthier and more powerful, but also increase the tax revenue of the court. Therefore, the subordinates believe that this plan can be passed!"
The officials were still thinking that Cao Cao had said too much, and they needed to sort out whether it was correct. They even went to their colleagues to discuss it privately.
Liu Xie didn't say anything. In principle, she supported Wang Yong's proposal, but it was the emperor and all officials needed the consent of it. Cao Cao didn't say anything. She knew that everyone would compromise in the final result.
"We have no objection, we can implement it!" Wang Yun finally gave the result. After in-depth thinking, he found that this plan might be feasible. Although there are still certain risks, there are 60% possible proposals that are worth a try.
"But Sunshine Breakfast already exists. Should I create another Sunshine Breakfast?" Lu Zhi asked. And this is also suspected of advertising Sunshine Breakfast.
"This subordinate has discussed with the Chef Guild and Wanshiwu. First, the court bought the brand "Sunshine Breakfast" from Wang Yong for a price of one cent, and then promoted it as a joint brand between the court and Wanshiwu, and the Chef Guild, which can further save costs. As for the original Sunshine Breakfast, it was changed to Cantonese roasted rice, and it will only be responsible for Chinese food and dinner in the future!" Cao Cao naturally prepared these.
"Wouldn't it be better to just ask Wang Yong to offer this brand?" Wu Shuo made a statement and spent a penny or something.
"Wu Yilang also read the books of sages. Do you know the allusion of Zigong's redeemment of people?" Cao Cao asked back. After all, Wang Yong can offer the brand of Sunshine Breakfast today. Will the court also want others to offer other things tomorrow? For immoral kidnapping, he paid a symbolic penny, which is also for the sake of the court's reputation.
"Shame, ashamed..." Wu Shuo didn't think so far, and even felt that this was a bit of a big deal.
"Dear friends, do you still have any objections?" Liu Xie finally spoke.
"I have no objection!" The ministers immediately replied, "What other objections can I have?
"Then, it's decided, and the specific personnel, rules and regulations, will be discussed by the three officials!" Liu Xie nodded.
"Abide by the order!" The three of them immediately received the order, and they would naturally have a follow-up discussion after the court was dispersed.
