The journey was fairly smooth. Although there were no inns on this broken road, Chen Xi was not really out of his mind. There would be a village every other section of the road.
The distance between any two villages is relatively far, but if the carriage travels all the way, it can encounter six or seven villages in a day. This distance is just enough for the caravans taking the land route to rest. It can be said that as long as there is no snowstorm in winter, basically
You can go to the next place in one day.
For the same reason, these villages have some extra private houses. Different from the special characteristics of the inns, these private houses are used to live in the caravans that come and go. The price is quite cheap, but in winter they are basically full every day, so they are quite
make money.
As for the ownership of these inns, it naturally belongs to the official. After all, the entire village was moved by Chen Xi, and all the houses were built directly from the beginning. Chen Xi had these things ready from the beginning.
It's just that the money earned in this way is basically not reflected in the account books. Most of them are used to find things for local people to do, such as clearing snow, removing ice, ensuring road traffic in winter, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of B&Bs in summer, etc., and then use the money.
Spend all the money.
This shabby bed and breakfast doesn't seem to make much money, but if this thing exists for a year, the people in the village seem to be able to earn an extra one or two thousand cash, which can be used to supplement their lives.
As for tax collection, this kind of thing is really just a total calculation. If it is too detailed, it is unrealistic. However, every place is obviously about the same distance from the next place, but some villages still make more, and some villages make less.
Sir, Chen Xi didn’t want to make any comments about this.
But overall, with such subsidies, life can indeed be better, and it also makes Chen Xi more aware of what the hell the jobs that villages can provide are to the people, so the next direction of development is
Rural low-level manufacturing or rural low-level workshops that require a large amount of labor.
In short, it's just about stuffing people in. Anyway, Chen Xi understood that in feudal society, labor was really worthless during the slack season.
Therefore, wages in the rural manufacturing industry can be reduced to the level where it is not considered a job, but the level of food and drink plus income subsidies. Ignore the salary for now, it can reach the level of two to three thousand cash per year, as long as the food and drink are paid.
, if they can go home and farm safely during busy farming times, people in this era seem to be willing to do so.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt that he could discount the cost, which would leave room for profit and exploitation. The main reason was that after Chen Xi went out to visit more than a dozen villages, he found that the salary he wanted was actually too high.
When going out to clear snow in the middle of winter, the village chief will direct the whole village to go out together to take care of food and drink. If the food is better, they will be paid for five cents. After all, there are really no entertainment activities in this era. Collective
The activity of clearing snow can be considered an activity.
Liu Bei asked this himself. Just as Chen Xi guessed, Liu Bei really knows at least two or three militiamen in each village, and these two or three militiamen have all been on the battlefield, or have retired after reaching age.
Or he was discharged due to injury.
But no matter what the reason is, Chen Xi has always arranged for regular army soldiers. As long as they join the war and retire from the army, and have no other bad records, they will be treated favorably.
Militia captains, low-level managers of factories and mines, and government officials. In short, there are many positions, and they can all be arranged. As for the captains of the village militia, this is basically the routine arrangement after the team leader retires. After all, there are
A militia captain who has seen blood will never tremble when he comes to deal with something that really happens.
After all, there are more ferocious beasts than people these days, and hungry tigers, leopards, and jackals often happen in winter. There are always people with young men and weapons equipped to deal with such things.
“Mr.
He knew Liu Tong, but he knew Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also knew him.
Especially when Liu Bei asked him, when you retired from the army, you said that your third son was about to be born. How is your third son doing now? The leader slapped his thigh with a look of liver pain. At that time, he thought that the third son should be a son, but in the end
She is still a daughter, but fortunately, he can afford to support her these days. The fourth child can be regarded as a son, and he is very naughty.
Liu Bei laughed when he heard this. He turned around and brought his three or four-year-old son over. Liu Bei touched it and gave him a piece of candy. Then in the evening, the team leader brought a jar of wine, saying that he didn't have it either.
Thinking that the Taiwei could still recognize him after so many years, this was wine from his village, brewed by himself, and Liu Bei accepted it without saying anything.
"He definitely doesn't know that I know him." Liu Bei said with a smile, "In fact, I not only know him, but also his two deputies. When we were in northern Xinjiang, he also killed two Huns."
"Those who were injured and discharged from the army?" Chen Xi asked with a raised eyebrow. "It's different from killing ordinary bastards. When the Han Dynasty calculates merits, five or six people count you as one. When killing the Huns, one counts as one. Kill two on the battlefield."
With the Huns and the great victory in Northern Xinjiang, that team started with a fifth-level title.
Calculated based on the delayed retirement time for a fifth-level knighthood, looking at that guy's age, he shouldn't be able to retire now, and this guy has obviously been retired for several years, so he can only retire due to injuries.
"Yes, I am recovering from my injury, but it seems that I have managed well in the past few years, so it is no longer obvious." Liu Bei nodded, "This guy should have been a wealthy man before."
"Yes, five hundred and fifty acres of land." Chen Xi nodded, "It must be enough to support the family. A fake militia captain. Originally, he should be the village chief."
"He said that their village chief did a better job than him, so he stepped down and became the militia captain." Liu Bei said with a smile, "But I am very happy to see this scene. This is an old man who participated in the Battle of Jizhou.
"
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" Chen Xi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You guys obviously didn't know anything at the beginning, but you guessed everything after the conversation." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi angrily and said.
"Being able to get here means that my hometown is here." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "And we started in Mount Tai, and the only ones who can follow us are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."
"When he was at his highest, he had a ninth-level knighthood." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Later, because he killed several prisoners, he couldn't cover it up and was deprived of his title. But I don't think he cared much about these things.
"
"This kind of thing is inevitable." Chen Xi nodded and stopped asking. Based on Chen Xi's understanding of Liu Bei, Liu Bei might have recalled everything about that guy.
"Do you have any thoughts on Xianhe?" Chen Xi looked at Jian Yong and asked. As for Han Xin and Bai Qi, although they were also sitting with the three of them, they obviously didn't want to interrupt. Of course, Bai Qi and Han Xin didn't care about people like Liu Bei.
I really don’t know what to say about my face memory ability.
They also knew very well how abnormal Liu Bei's ability was in military terms.
"Do we really want to build an urban-rural transportation line in a place like this?" Jian Yong sighed and said, "This kind of route will be a loss in life."
"You have to run for me anyway." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "If we build logistics and transportation lines in the elite areas of each state and county, it will not only facilitate the people, but also make some money, but there are some things that cannot be just considered.
Make money."
Some things will indeed suffer losses, but from an overall perspective, even if they are losses, they still have to be done.
"What I'm thinking about is how much I will lose." Jian Yong sighed and said, it is enough to open a line in this kind of place, but the problem is that even if it is just one line, I will lose money.
It doesn't matter if a road loses some money, but since leaving the essence of Guanzhong Road, Jian Yong has been thinking that there should be a lot of such places in the land of Han Dynasty, and based on Chen Xi's previous plan, all places
If everything needs to be done, there will be too many places to lose.
"You can't lose much." Chen Xi thought about it. It seems that it means raising horses, transporting carriages, and the loss of fixed assets. According to the current situation, only one or two drivers are needed, and the daily loss can last for more than a hundred cents.
This kind of rural road transportation, under the current circumstances, only requires 20,000 to 30,000 roads, which means a loss of two to three million yuan a day.
Okay, a year and a half, Wu'anjun, you can't afford to lose money, put aside the money-making stuff first, the situation in the elite area, this kind of transportation and logistics can make money, and there is an official transfer of some of the responsibilities of material transportation.
, no problem at all.
However, in the overall calculation, the balance of payments is overestimated, but it is meaningful for other industries. Besides, this is just now, and there will be more opportunities in the future. This is a rising industry, take your time, and it’s okay to lose some money.
.
"We lose almost one billion dollars a year." Jian Yong said with a headache.
"Your calculations are very accurate now." Chen Xi said curiously.
"I have been learning these things in the past two years, and I have already started surveying the village routes, so I won't be confused." Jian Yong rolled his eyes and said.
"Such a big loss." The three people on the side all looked surprised.
"Actually, it can't be calculated like this. It's just a link. Overall, it may not be a loss." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, because this thing is to be done in conjunction with the next five-year plan. When the rural workshops are started next,
, this thing is very useful.
More importantly, when people have enough money, their desire to go to the county seat will increase, and the pressure on the transportation network will also increase.
Rather than hurriedly arranging the layout, we will conduct a trial run now. When the time comes to expand, we will have experience in many things.
