Chapter 291 Investment(1/2)
Liu Rengui stood at the entrance of the toilet water workshop, or he was shocked by the luxurious carriage of Lao Si passing in front of him. I understand his mood. I have had the same expression as Lao Liu. It stands to reason that as a businessman these days,
You are not qualified to enjoy such an expensive means of transportation. Since the Luochuan disaster relief, the view of merchants in the capital has gradually softened, and the living space of merchants has suddenly become clearer. As long as it does not exceed the etiquette, no one will pay attention to behavior like the fourth child.
.
"It's an investor's car, and it has nothing to do with living in the lower house. Although it is more luxurious, it is also conservative." This needs to be explained to avoid being misunderstood.
"Investors?" Old Liu didn't understand these new terms and pointed to the toilet water workshop, "Isn't this an industry owned by the young prisoner's house?"
"No, how could it be in the lower house? It's a workshop built by someone who leased the land of Wangjiazhuangzi." Pointing to the surrounding buildings, "Look, how many farmers farm and how much land is dead, and the output is only up to God's face.
Eat, have enough food and clothing in the harvest year,
If the harvest is bad, they will tighten their belts to endure famine, not to mention having three meals a day of meat and eggs. Even if a wealthy family eats like this, they will be known as a prodigal. I intend to make the farmer's life more comfortable, but you also know that sometimes it is not
We, the landowners, can do whatever we can.”
Liu Rengui nodded, "It's a peaceful year when we have enough food and clothing. What's going on with the investors?"
"There is no other way." He pointed to the feed mill in front and motioned for Liu Rengui to follow me, "Businessmen are greedy people who are greedy for profit. Even if you lower your status by dealing with these people, if I can really do it for the farmers and the people, I, Wang Xiu, will
Your status is not so valuable that you don’t care what others think."
"Oh?" Liu Rengui knew my speaking habits and was about to ask a question when he saw a luxury car with two horses passing by in the distance. Behind it was a group of escorts and maids, who were driving the horses to accompany them.
"This is a chariot driven by a humble wife," he quickly explained. Fortunately, today the two girls' team came in from outside the village. They had to jump into the Yellow River to get out of the toilet water workshop. They wanted to be praised when they got home. Hurry up and take Liu Rengui away.
Continuing from the previous topic, "What we pursue in business is profit. There is open space and labor on our village, which are valued by businessmen. It is not an exaggeration for the villagers to take advantage of the leisure time to work part-time in the workshop to supplement their family income. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Rengui frowned slightly and remained silent. He did not agree or express any objection. It seemed that he could understand the truth but could not bend the tradition.
Youmen is not as stubborn as he used to be. "Actually, this is only part of it. After all, only the investor has benefited. Since he has used the people in my village and rented the land in my village, he has to pay out the income.
Part of the profits will be used to stimulate production in the village and improve the lives of villagers.
." As he said that, he pushed open the door of the feed workshop. In several large rooms where maggots were hatched and fed, the heated kangs were burning brightly. Several staff members were busy carrying large wooden boxes for raising maggots. When the manager saw me, he hurried forward to greet me.
, waving his hands. "Whatever you have to do, I'll come and take a look."
Liu Rengui had obviously never seen this scene before, especially the scene of thousands of white maggots squirming. It was very shocking, and the old man looked a little dazed.
"Feed, specially fed to chickens. It saves food and also improves egg production rate and disease resistance. It's valuable. It's different from the kind in the toilet. It's absolutely clean." He grabbed a handful and waved it in front of Old Liu.
"It was these little bugs that cured Ying Gong's gangrene. They have been promoted in our army and have been well received."
"Does this have anything to do with businessmen?" Liu Rengui came from the battlefield after all. He quickly adapted and pinched one with his own hands to observe carefully, and even put it under his nose and smelled it. "Isn't this the merit of the young prisoner?"
"That's right. It's just for treating a wound. It's okay, but it requires providing chicken feed from farmers all over the village and even farmers within dozens of miles around. The Wang family doesn't have the ability." Just as he was saying this, some farmers came to ask for feed.
Liu Rengui looked at it and saw clearly. "That's it, all the feed is free of charge, and we wait until the eggs are laid."
We will make a calculation later. The businessman is responsible for unified purchasing and signing contracts with farmers in advance." He asked the manager and asked for a contract document and handed it to Liu Rengui. "You can take a look at it. If it is profitable, all local policies are in favor of farmers.
The Wang family only played a supervisory role and did not get a penny of benefit."
"It's a good idea," Liu Rengui nodded after reading it. "The young prisoner takes me around the farmhouse. What a profitable situation it is. You have to see it to know."
Ignoring Old Liu, he directly took him to visit the paper mill, and narrated Princess Lanling's unrealistic wishes in an even more unrealistic way. They were selfless and grand. Old Liu was a little excited after hearing this, and he asked him to do some work.
After describing his income situation, Old Liu Yun calculated that he had earned more than a seventh-rank official in the imperial court in one year. He shook his head in disbelief.
"To put it bluntly, this is just business, but it does benefit one party. Don't tell me that I brought you here. The control here is strict and the process is a state secret."
Old Liu nodded and followed me out obediently. On the road, farmers kept driving away fat and strong animals from the fields to the livestock sheds. When it was time to finish work, the village suddenly became noisy, and female workers were leaving work three or five times.
Groups of old men who had been working in the fields all day squatted on the threshold in twos and threes and made loud noises. They chased and played in the front and back yards of the half-sized ovary after school. Smoke was everywhere, and chickens were flying and dogs were barking.
Some of the early ones had already picked up old bowls and squatted on the threshold to pull them up. The boy with a runny nose in front of them was peeling off the egg shells, and it fell to the ground and became dirty. I put down the bowl, slapped the boy twice on the head, and picked up the egg rolls.
He took off his sleeves and wiped it randomly, peeled it off and stuffed it into the mouth of the crying child, followed by two more slaps.
Liu Rengui stood watching from a distance with a smile on his face, smiling happily, as if his father had treated him like this before.
"Everyone has eaten. Why don't the superintendent go in to take a look next time? I don't want to disturb the dealers at this time." Several dealers in front of me ran forward in panic and saluted, and then ran away far away, which made me embarrassed to walk inside.
.
"Well," Liu Rengui listened to me and nodded coldly, "It's a subject of knowledge. Although what the young eunuch said is reasonable, aren't you afraid that this businessman will sneak in and corrupt the banker?"
I reached into my purse and took out a bunch of money, counted them, and pointed to the children chasing each other on the wheat field in front of me. "You'll know if your parents are good or not. Just look at the children." As I said that, I walked over and threw the bunch of money away without anyone noticing.
In a conspicuous place, Liu Rengui shook his head, stepped forward and opened the string of money, scattered it all over the ground, and then followed me towards Xinzhuangzi.
They saw all the way to the 'Nan Jinchang' semicolon tape weaving workshop. When it turned dark, the two of them returned to the place where they had just thrown the money. An old man and a young man squatted there and played chess (in the fields).
A casual game), the scattered copper coins were neatly placed at the child's feet. "Thirty cents. Go get it, the superintendent," I turned away and went around to wait under the wheat stack.
I know best the qualities of the farmers in my village. Not to mention the thirty cents, even if the big beads my two daughters bought for a few bucks fell off, someone would bring them back. Moreover, the housekeeper didn’t even ask for their names after collecting the beads, as if it was a matter of course.
, there is no need for praise and encouragement. Sometimes I sigh. Living with this group of simple people is really a blessing for several lifetimes. Old Liu, who suffered a thousand knives, thought that if he spread the money, he could let the children pick it up one by one.
What?
A lot of money, exactly thirty. In the eyes of farmers, thirty cents is a big number, and they are afraid that the owner will be anxious. The father and son have been waiting for a while, and it is getting dark before they see it. They are ready if no one comes to claim it again.
I hung up the archway beside the wheat field and went home.
Lao Liu's trick didn't work. Before he left, he apologetically clasped his fists at me to apologize. I forgave him generously. This was so honorable. What is the construction of spiritual civilization? Only under the leadership of a person with high moral character like me.
Only then can Wangjiazhuang achieve the state of not picking up lost things on the road. As for not closing the house at night, if the housekeeper doesn't agree, there is nothing I can do.
After hearing Liu Rengui's experience in Wangzhuang, Ying burst into laughter and said, "What's there to show off? The more superior you are, the more you think bad of others, and you are not honest. The people in Guanzhong are simple, of course you throw a handful of money into the village."
It won’t be lost. If it is lost in agriculture, there will be only a few coins missing. If it is lost in the court, it will be gone. Maybe someone will come over every day to see if any more coins have been lost.”
"That's it." Ying's metaphor is very vivid, and that's what it means to be rich and unkind. It's very gratifying. It seems that the Wang family has not yet reached the realm of wealth, and Lan Ling may be unkind if used as a metaphor. It needs to be corrected... Forget it,
She has never been kind since she was born, so it is more meaningful to correct the second daughter. "Second daughter, give me a money jar and press it under my pillow for one night, and see if there will be less money in the morning."
The two girls shook their heads nervously, took out the key to the cash box from under the pillow and hung it on their bodies. They giggled and threw themselves into my arms, kicking their feet wildly. Terrified, Diying quickly evacuated to a safe place and found a long weapon to hit me with.
"I haven't turned off the light, it's not cool!" Ying cleaned up a few times, and the two girls lay in my arms and pretended to be dead, motionless. "The fourth child plans to invest some money in Longyou in a few days, saying that he wants to invest in our family.
On my body..."
"Why do you want to invest in our family? If you want to invest in the morning investment, I have already gone to pay a lot of debt to say this. What is her plan?" The fourth child looks like a hot-tempered girl, but she is a careful girl. It is easy to be deceived by her appearance when dealing with her.
I don’t know what the Wang family’s plan is this time.
"It is a trade route in itself. If cotton can become popular in Longyou within three to five years, there will definitely be an endless stream of merchants coming and going. The fourth child thinks it is an opportunity and just wants to invest some money in our family. If she comes to run the business in the future,
, it is still under the name of the Wang family just like the capital city."
This is paying the road money in advance. It seems that the Chen family has a long-term vision. Regardless of whether it is inside or outside the capital, it will first establish its base before expanding. "It's too early to say this. What are you anxious about now? Let's go back to the fourth brother.
Please tell me so that my father-in-law can rest assured."
"It's just the fourth child. The Chen family hasn't spoken about it yet. This girl doesn't know what she's thinking. She may have trouble with the family again." Ying sighed, "It's like a family separation. It's like a girl's family."
This is a bit strange, what is the fourth son's investment? The girl's family is the property of the family if she is not married. "The fourth son invests now, and the Chen family will do this in the future. In the end, will it be the Chen family's or the fourth son's? Since the fourth child is investing,
If Si has this idea, she will definitely not want her money to be calculated with the Chen family."
"What kind of money does she have? If she earns more or less, it's not the Chen family's land?" She was so cute that she didn't care. The tradition was like this, so she wouldn't think about it. "It's just her petty behavior, let her do it."
He didn't say anything. He had known this sister-in-law for four or five years. She would never make fun of investment no matter where she acted. If she could say this, she must have planned it in her heart. She shook her head at the two girls who were pretending to be dead in their arms.
, "What are the plans of the fourth child?"
The two women closed their eyes and smiled, shook their heads in a silly manner, and stopped moving again.
It's quite interesting to have this sister-in-law. If you can't guess clearly, don't guess. Anyway, she is giving money and not asking for money. It is a good thing and her behavior is worth encouraging.
It’s not just the fourth person who deserves encouragement. Brother Liu Rengui is also one. He is still working hard during working hours. As soon as he gets off work, he will talk to me about some things that I can’t explain. What does it have to do with me that the people live and work in peace and contentment and the businessmen are only seeking profit?
What's the relationship? It's an inevitable behavior in the process of biological evolution. It's more appropriate to talk to Darwin. I'm still anxious to go home! I hate discussing these matters of 'family harmony' and 'morality' with the ancients, especially men.
I'm so old and have no interest.
Liu Rengui has a specialty. He knows how to drive a normal person crazy without being held criminally responsible. He has the ability to make people disgusted to the extreme and still greet them with a smile. I think he deliberately said, "Actually, there are many things that I can't explain clearly."
.How good and bad are the following.
After all, you are not a farmer, so you have to ask them and take a walk around the village. If you talk more and visit more, the explanation will naturally become smoother. I feel very good today. Why don't you go to Wangjia Village alone?" It's easy to say this.
Start packing things. I’m very busy and I still have to eat!
Let him look at it, there are only so many things anyway, he said a few words casually, jumped out and took the horse and ran away, went into the house and called the housekeeper, "Pay attention, tell the guardian at home, you are not allowed to bully outsiders in the village recently. Especially in the village."
He has a dead face and a beard, and looks like he is forty or fifty years old. Be polite when you ask questions and speak. Go and convey it now, right away."
As soon as the economic conditions improve, people become separated from class. Members of the Wang family's village are in love with each other, but if they come to another village, they will look down upon it. The villagers are better, so they will not marry outsiders; but the whole village is boring to guard.
When patrolling, he loves to interrogate
Stranger, where are you from? What are you doing here? What are your plans to go back so late? How many people are there in your family? What's your mother's surname...etc. You've been discovered by me more than once or twice. This matter has to be dealt with by me.
Mr. Liu, you might say something bad about me behind my back. You have to be careful.
There are two other daughters who need to explain clearly. In March, as long as they don't leave Zhuangzi, they will walk to work, and they will only take two steps to return the carriage to the guard of honor. It's boring. Old Liu should be wordy when he sees it.
And the Fourth Brother, try to change to a more ordinary carriage to avoid criticism.
To be continued...
