Section 2065 Contracts(1/2)
In fact, some people have learned about this method of doing things at Caojia Commercial Bank before, but not many people say that this method is effective. They all feel that this method is also possible for them. They won’t wait until Caojia Commercial Bank starts putting out meat buns.
It has also started, but their meat buns are relatively good on the surface. It is not that there is no grain business among these hundreds of counties and cities. Li Cong has said before that the profit of this grain business can be said to be not very high.
Big, but the victory lies in stability. If you are doing other businesses, you would not dare to say that this business is drought-proof, but grain trading is definitely the case, and the profit is only more than ten percent. But for this business,
There are a lot of people, especially those who need to expand their influence and whose families are relatively wealthy. Generally speaking, these are some local famous families. They are the first-class grain merchants. They usually control the
Most of the grain sales in the county and some grains from other places require their approval. It can be said that the development of the Cao Family Trading Company will offend their business the most.
The second-class grain merchants are the small landowners in the countryside. They all have their own farmland and their own tenants. Although they do not necessarily have a lot of grain, they can also control the grain trading in some counties and towns.
Yes, of course, there are some problems with the quality of their food. All they want is to make money, and they don't need so much so-called reputation. In their view, the money in the middle is the most important thing.
, as for other things, that is impossible. They also need those things, but in their hearts, money is more important.
Although Cao's Trading Company's business has also begun to reach towns and villages, the impact on them has not been great, mainly because their prices are basically at the same level as those of Cao's Trading Company. These people also
We are not afraid of people from the Cao Family Trading Company coming to fight price wars. The food of the Cao Family Trading Company needs to be transported. Although they have a professional transportation team, it is also a waste of money. For them, the food is obtained from the fields.
Come. Just take them to a town more than ten miles away. If nothing else, they can save a lot of costs. Of course, the quality of their food cannot be compared with that of the Cao Family Trading Company.
Many people have also said that they can spit out half a mouthful of sand after eating the food.
If they were in some big cities, they might not be able to do business. But in places like the countryside, most people still eat coarse grains. This is not something that the people of Cao's Trading Company can do. What they sell are some fine grains.
For the majority of ordinary people, this kind of fine grains is not something that ordinary people can eat. Many people as big as Zhang have never eaten a few meals of fine grains. For them, as long as they have something to fill their stomachs, as for
The rest of the things, such as the taste and so on, they will not even think about, what is the use of those things, even the most delicious things are just food, after eating a meal, it will take a while to digest.
Don't you have to come out of your own place? Although it doesn't sound very nice, the truth is the same. It is better to use these few meals of fine food to replace one's own coarse food for a month. At least this way, I will feel more comfortable.
To outsiders, he doesn’t look like a prodigal, does he?
This is how it seems to the country people. Even if your harvest is better this year, if there is no wedding or festival at home, why can't you use fine grains? Everyone is in the fields tending the crops.
We all know that fine grains are hard-earned. If you eat fine grains, you will not be able to live well, unless your family has some other ways to make money. But the common people in the countryside live by guarding their own acres of thin fields.
, this would not be done if there were other ways to make money. The common people can only get more than three hundred kilograms of wheat per acre of land, one-tenth of which is the tax paid to the court. This tenth
One is to give it to the landlord's family, and the remaining 80% is your own. In a good year, it is only more than 200 kilograms. In a bad year, there is no such thing. If you can feed yourself for a year, you have to
Take these to exchange for coarse grains.
In response to the counterattack of these grain merchants against the Cao Family Commercial Bank, the Cao Family Commercial Bank naturally has its own methods. Price reduction is just one aspect. The Cao Family Commercial Bank also needs profits. If it is just a price war, it will not be a good thing for itself.
In this way, Wu Liu and Bai Er have been thinking about it for a long time. Li gave them a way from this, that is, to cooperate with some local landowners and farmers. This cooperation is to combine your
The land is left to us to take care of. Now you can bring up the amount of grain you produce each year. I will give you 10% more than this by this time next year.
These landowners and farmers were all dumbfounded. Of course they knew that this must be the Cao Family Trading Company that was going to cut off other grain trading firms. What the hell did you say? These old farmers were also dumbfounded. How could they do this?
Yes? You have discussed it directly with the landlords. What should we do? The rent they pay to the landlords every year is not a lot, at most one-tenth, which is only a few dozen kilograms of grain per acre of land.
, the food in this era is really pitiful, and it is only harvested once a year. Although there will be some other things planted in a few months in between, the value of these things is not very high.
This is how the Cao Family Trading Company plans to sign a contract with the landlord. All you need to do is lease all the land under your control to the Cao Family Trading Company. It will be for twenty years. You don’t need to make any contribution during these twenty years.
It doesn't matter what happens to you. We will rent the land to you for twenty years at a time. Whether you want money or food, it all depends on your wishes. In the past, one acre of land
That is to say, 10% of the harvest belongs to you. Although you will use other things to get an extra 10%, it will not be on the table after all, right? The most you can get is one or two silver per acre of land every year. It is different now.
Yes, we will give you twice as much, just two taels of silver. This amount will make these rich landlords stupid.
They all followed those farmers who were stupid. Those farmers didn't know what to do without their own land. It's okay to say that they couldn't figure it out in their heads, but why did these landlords also become stupid? It turns out that they
They all thought that there might be some mineral deposits or something in their fields. Did the people from Cao's Trading Company discover something? If so, it might be possible. They can do anything.
But when they inquired about it, it seemed that this was definitely not the case. They had rented out all the surrounding land. Is it possible that all the surrounding land had such things? That is absolutely impossible. If there are all
If so, how many things would be needed? It is absolutely impossible.
No one here is a fool. The income now is twice as much as before. If you don’t do such things, then your life will really be in vain these years. They have all lost their family land.
Take it out. These landowners have 100 hectares and 80 hectares. Although it is very troublesome to deal with it, the people from Cao's Trading Company quickly got these things done. 100 hectares here is 10,000 acres.
He is definitely a big landowner. He has 20,000 taels of silver a year. In the past twenty years, it will be 4,000,000 taels of silver. Even if he buys this land, he will not spend that much money.
Is the treatment given by Cao's Commercial Bank too high? It's definitely not high. If Li Cong buys all the land, this matter will be a bit difficult. These landowners are definitely not willing to do it.
, if they don’t rent it to themselves, they can only watch others become stronger than themselves. Selling land is a wasteful behavior for them. They can only increase the land while they are alive, and they must not sell land.
There is no psychological burden when renting. You have money to hold on to, and you can also let these people make money for you. Why not do that? You can't find anything like this.
Naturally, Li Cong will not lose money. If he uses his own seeds for one acre of land every year, it will definitely be three crops a year. The output of one acre of land every year is more than 3,000 kilograms. According to the current price, it will be three crops a year.
Those who produce more than 45 taels of silver can earn the twenty years of land rent in one year, and the rest will be earned in vain. Otherwise, science is the primary productive force, and these seeds are all
Since the genes have been modified, it is impossible for these guys to obtain these seeds, so Li Cong's is absolutely safe.
As for those farmers who have no land, Li Cong has also made arrangements for them. In the past, if you worked hard for a year, you would be able to leave more than 200 kilograms of grain for yourself, right? Some of them are made by the whole family, but now
It is still the same as before. Of course, after your grain is produced, it will no longer be yours. You must hand over the grain to the Cao Family Trading Company every year. Of course, your income will also be doubled. One acre of land.
Each person can get 400 kilograms of grain every year, which is twice as much as before. This kind of thing made them dumbfounded. Of course, you also told them when you signed the contract with them. Although you
You can get twice the income, but I have told you clearly that your workload will also triple. If no one can do it, then I can only say sorry and you will be unemployed in the future.
The most important thing for farm men is their strength. In fact, in the past, they spent more than half of the year resting at home with nothing to do. Everyone was so exhausted that they just put in a little more effort.
, it’s not like I haven’t worked hard. In the past, I used my efforts in useless places. Now it’s natural to do it. It started as a county and then this model began to sweep through the first 1,200 people.
Wu Liu and the others thought of 600 counties and cities, but they asked Li Cong to more than double the number. At first, they thought it would be difficult to do such a thing, but now it seems that it is not difficult.
Now, it’s normal to do these things. Now these people are very motivated.
Li Cong used mechanized operations on the earth and the rty planet, but this cannot be done here. The islands in the sea also use mechanization, but this is the mainland. In the past few years, Li Cong did not want to
Let these people enter food production. After all, you still have enough food. Now it seems that if you want to tie up all these people, just use this method. Now they are all your own tenants. If you leave yourself, it will be impossible.
It is impossible to continue working.
The property rights are not my own yet, so that doesn’t matter. My fist is not very strong now, so of course I have to listen to you. If my fist becomes stronger in the future, it’s not just you who has the final say in this matter. Who has the stronger fist?
Anyone can make the rules, and this can definitely be passed. However, the amount of money Li Cong took out this time is definitely not a small amount. It took Li Cong 40 taels of silver per acre of land to accomplish this, plus
Other surveying costs, such as at least 50 taels of silver, cost Li Cong 750 million taels of silver. The average cultivated land of a county town exceeds 15 million acres. Li Cong came up with the entire plan.
Trillions of silver. It is estimated that Li Cong is the only one who can make such a big deal. Everyone else has seen that Li Cong has invested a lot, but only Li Cong knows it. By this time next year, all the food will be delivered to him.
For the common people, they have also received benefits. In the future, they will get fine grains. Their food has improved very well. Of course, if they want to eat coarse grains, you
You have to find a place to exchange it by yourself, because the cultivated land within thousands of miles around is owned by the Cao Family Trading Company, and there is no place to exchange it.
No matter what you all thought at that time, the whole world has become like what Xi'an is now. You have to pay attention to some things now. Everyone in the world is following the Cao family.
The trading company has a constant relationship, so what will happen even if Prince Ning comes back? Will I go hang out with Prince Ning? Unless there is something wrong with my brain, otherwise I will never wear the same pants with Prince Ning
, this kind of danger is really too great. King Ning is very powerful, but that was all a few years ago. In the past, King Ning was considered the boss here, but now who is King Ning? He is nothing.
King Ning is just a passer-by. In the future, the word King Ning will disappear from this land. When any dynasty is newly established, there will be some old and young people from the previous dynasty, because if the previous dynasty is restored, they will all be considered good.
Ability, but now if King Ning wants to restore the land, it is absolutely impossible, because the owner here is the Cao Family Trading Company.
This is just some people's thoughts, definitely not Li Cong's thoughts. Now Li Cong wants to erase the Eastern Empire from this territory. Although the fiefdom given to Li Cong by the imperial court is the province of King Ning back then,
But the dozens of surrounding provinces can be said to be the sphere of influence of the Cao Family Trading Company, because these places used to be within the sphere of influence of King Ning. Now, although King Ning is coming back, they are not
Will you listen to what Prince Ning says? It is definitely a fact that everyone is pushing against the wall. However, none of these officials had much dealing with the court in the past. Except for a few who became tainted witnesses for the court, the others
Basically, most of the people had issues with the imperial court. For example, in the past, when the imperial court's orders came to me, no one would bother with it. Most of them were waiting for orders from King Ning. His Majesty the Emperor said
East, but as long as King Ning talks about the West, no one will say anything about all this, because they all know that the emperor cannot kill him here, but it is very possible for King Ning to kill him,
Prince Ning could do whatever he wanted, and the imperial court sent officials here, both the prince and the imperial envoy, but what was the final result?
If the prince comes, in order to maintain the support of the men in the clan, Prince Ning cannot do anything to the prince, so what Prince Ning has to do is to instruct his servants to do this beautifully.
Liang, no matter how many people come, we can't let people go back without anything. If this spreads around, others will definitely say that we people in Prince Ning's Mansion are incapable of doing things. We can't let people say that about ourselves.
Let’s not face this anymore. Last time, a prince came to check on King Ning’s army. It was obvious that there were nearly half a million more troops, but in the end King Ning spent more than one billion worth of money to deal with this matter.
It was saved. What this guy said when he went back was that the number was correct. His Majesty the Emperor's spies naturally knew what was going on, but that's what the imperial envoy said. What can His Majesty the Emperor do? Do you mean that you don't believe the minister in front of you? Tell him.
Do you have spies around Prince Ning? If that's the case, should the emperor still go down? That won't work either.
If you don't believe it, you can ask another minister to come over. Of course His Majesty the Emperor has used this method, but in the end he knew that it was impossible. It was impossible for those people to draw any conclusion.
They have been officials for such a long time, how could they not know what is going on in the imperial court? What will happen even if His Majesty the Emperor knows the truth? At most, Prince Ning will be reprimanded for a while.
Over the years, King Ning has definitely received a lot of reprimands, one after another. Even if all the ministers in the court were added up, they probably wouldn't be as many as him. Over the years, King Ning has been too lazy to deal with these things.
He doesn't care. He doesn't care what these things turn out to be in the end. Just do whatever you like with these things. Anyway, they have nothing to do with him. It's just an imperial edict. Praise is just one sentence, and punishment is also one sentence.
As long as I, Prince Ning, stand in the way, what can I do to myself, as long as I don't rebel? Everything is nonsense.
This was what King Ning had originally thought. Naturally, the ministers in the court also understood this matter. Each one of them knew clearly what was going on with King Ning, so they also knew how to deal with such things.
, His Majesty the Emperor asked us to go over, so we will go over. What to say and how to repay is naturally what the prince who came back earlier said, so we will just say it. As for the future, we will not care about it. After so many years, everyone has
I know, Prince Ning is pretty good at what he does. As long as one person says that, he will make it happen. If someone says something different later, he won’t be able to bear it, right? Of course.
, Sometimes His Majesty the Emperor will let some young and energetic people go there. Each of those people are very powerful. After they go there, they will not care about Prince Ning. They will do what they want anyway.
You are doing things, but what is the final result of doing things like this? In the beginning, Prince Ning will entertain you with good wine and delicious food. If you can listen to this advice, everything will be easy to talk about in the future. But if you don’t
