Liu Muzhi laughed: "Yes, that's it. It's impossible to disperse these aristocratic families unless they divide their families. Therefore, everyone can only unite themselves. They need to operate as a group in the name of the government or Jingba
, unite!”
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Can you be more specific, how can we join forces and operate as a group?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "All the properties of the Jingba brothers will be managed in the name of the government. The shopkeepers and clerks in the store will gather the brothers' families and relatives from their hometowns for unified training first, and then distribute them.
In each store, the wages are settled according to a unified standard. When all the stores earn money every month, when added together, the owner gets 50%, the shopkeeper gets 10%, and the clerk gets 40%."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "A store requires ten or eight clerks. The shopkeeper gets 10% and the clerks 40%. Isn't the shopkeeper getting too much?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "After all, the shopkeeper has to manage the overall direction, and he must pay more than other clerks. Even in the current store, generally speaking, the shopkeeper's salary is three to five times that of ordinary clerks.
There are even more good shops. This is just like when marching to war, the tasks and treatment of generals and ordinary soldiers are different."
Liu Yu nodded: "Let's not talk about the shopkeeper's affairs. If the owner does nothing and just takes 50%, isn't it a bit too much?"
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "This ratio can be adjusted later, but at the beginning, I think 50% is necessary, because how did these industries come from? It was the Jingba brothers who took the risk of genocide when they founded the righteousness.
They were killed with their heads stuck in their waistbands, and these shops are their reward. Now they have given up the management rights, but the property rights are still theirs, and they are divided half and half, so I think there is no problem. As for after a few years of operation, if the shop
If it gets bigger and bigger, we will discuss how to divide it when the time comes."
Liu Yu nodded: "You can do it like this at the beginning, but are you sure you can make money by doing this? Even if there is so-called training, at most the store will be managed by someone, but those wealthy families you just mentioned, they have ways to make it happen
The things you sell are cheaper than the market price, so how do you solve this problem? You know, if the things cannot be sold, there will be no income, and in the end these guys and relatives will have to go back to the countryside."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "The aristocratic families want to take back these industries, and they will lower prices like this in the short term to destroy the shops of the Jingba brothers. But in the long term, they are not willing to lose money like this. Now it is equivalent to
It's consuming their inventory and savings. If we can make them understand that they can't beat the price, then they will naturally give up."
Liu Yu's heart moved: "You mean, the imperial court will unify the pricing and not allow such low-price sales?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "That's for the necessities of life such as rice, salt, oil, and firewood. You can't live without these, and they are not expensive. Nowadays, the rice shops and salt shops in the hands of wealthy families need to receive them from the imperial court."
After all, their current output from the manor in Wudi needs to pay taxes to the state first. Today, the price of rice at several major rice shops in Jiankang City is 20 yuan per dou of rice. All shops are basically the same, and salt and oil are also about the same.
In this situation, there is nothing to worry about. If someone really reduces the price of rice to less than fifteen yuan, then let him sell it casually. The more he sells, the more he will lose, because the price given by the court to the rice shop is ten yuan.
It’s eight coins a dou, and the supply is rationed.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Then the main trouble you mentioned is silk and silk?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the most important living expenses in the capital are cloth and silk, as well as the price of wine and meat. Most of the wealthy families do not have direct channels to produce wine and meat, so they have to build Kangcheng here.
Buy from the surrounding farms, many of which are produced in Jingkou. If the imperial court prohibits major aristocratic families and their shops from directly purchasing pigs, chickens, sheep, and wine from outside in the name of countering rebellion and preparing for war, then the wine and meat will be controlled within
Once it is in the hands of the imperial court, just like rice, a standard selling price will be set, and a certain quota will be allocated according to the size of each restaurant and food shop in the city. If it exceeds this quota, the price will be increased. The more collected, the more expensive it will be sold.
, use this method to control the purchase cost of the restaurant in the hands of the family."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This is like a planned economy." He accidentally came up with a later vocabulary.
Liu Muzhi opened his eyes wide: "What planned economy? I don't understand."
Liu Yu laughed: "That is to say, the purchase volume of each store is allocated according to the plan and quota. In the end, it will be used for people's livelihood, economy, and economic development. In the end, it will be sold to the people, right."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Jinu, you really exceeded my expectations. You can come up with your own words, economy, well, this is very good, but managing the world and benefiting the people is not just about food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is more
The most important thing is the achievements of the emperor, and fighting is more important."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "For the people in the city, they may not experience war in their lifetime, unless they are besieged Jiankang again. This is too far-fetched. Let's use the plan and distribution as you said."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Well, since the war is still going on, in the name of allocating supplies during the war, we can collect all the rice, grain, wine and meat around Jiankang into the national treasury. The price will be based on the current market price. Don't let it go."
The surrounding farmers will suffer losses, and to avoid people rushing to buy in large quantities at low prices, the allocation of this piece will be divided according to the clerks of each store and the size of the store for the time being. After a year and a half, it can be distributed according to the tax paid and sold.
Those who sell more will get more points, and those who sell less will get less points."
Liu Yu nodded: "It won't be a big problem to do this for rice, grain, wine, and meat. At least the price can be stabilized in the early stage, but it is impossible for the court to purchase cloth, silk, and silk uniformly. Those are raw silk shipped from various places and processed and produced in the capital.
It’s impossible for the imperial court to have so many people to manage it.”
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped, and he squeezed his eyes into slits: "If you want to look at it in the long run, this kind of spinning and silk making can be dispersed in the suburbs, and every household's small spinning wheel can be
They are all gathered together, supplied with materials, and produced collectively. The women in every family in Jingkou can spin and work hard. People in other places can do this just as well. It is not easy for them to make a living in the capital, but in their own
It is not a big problem to do this in the village or town. As long as you can find a spacious place in the village, put dozens of spinning wheels, and all the women in the family will gather together to spin and work, the output will be very high.
