After giving 10% of the profits to the outer court, they sent these people away. Before they could catch their breath, Wang Chengen from the inner palace came over to express his grievances.
He did have grievances. The emperor set up a supervisory agency for the factory affairs in the palace without mentioning it, and also transferred hundreds of thousands of income to the outer court. If this matter was not mentioned, he, a member of the inner palace, would
My job as the butler was for nothing.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to setting up a supervisory office to supervise the factory affairs of the inner court. I can give 10% of the income from the palace's factories and 10% of the output of the imperial village and the mine to the outer court.
The loss was too great. The amount of silver that Huangzhuang handed over to me was only 10%. The situation of the mine supervisor was similar to this. As a result, the palace had almost no income except the official tax from Zhili. This year, there will be another
If the enamel factory is sold, our palace will have a maximum income of three to four hundred thousand silver by the end of the year. I'm afraid it won't work!"
"The amount of official tax in Beizhili Province is only so much?"
"This is still a good situation. If the Ministry of Revenue procrastinates further, the situation may be worse."
"There are only so many official taxes in a province, and Beizhili is still a middle and upper province. No wonder the Ming Dynasty is so weak. My dear friend, don't be anxious about the palace's income. My goal this year is not high. I can have more than two hundred
Just ten thousand silver coins will do."
"More than two million? Your Majesty, where did this money come from? There are very few ways to get money in the palace now, how can you still make money?"
"What do you mean there is no way to make money? The factory area in Miyun has been selected, and Liu Dachang and the others can start work in the next two days. This factory area can earn more than one million silver this year, I am sure of it
Once the grains grown in Huangzhuang this year are harvested, we can start making wine, making canned meat, and selling mixed noodles in large quantities. It will not be difficult to make an income of one million silver from these."
"Wine-making? Why did the old slave forget this? Sweet potatoes and potatoes plus corn can indeed make wine according to the wet water wine-making method ordered by the emperor, and can directly add lime to steam the alcohol and the alcohol yield is quite high.
Gao. According to this method, it should not be a big problem for the palace to produce millions of kilograms of wine a year! But even if water is added to the wine, the taste is not good and has no fragrance. I am afraid it will not be sold. If it can be made
It would be better if it tastes better and tastes better."
"Of course I have considered this matter! I will teach you a way to make the wine taste better. You can find some distiller's lees from steamed white wine, then add the wet brewed wine into it, and then steam it again.
Here comes the wine that suits your taste. Of course, the wine produced this way still tastes different from the craft wine, but it is enough. So the palace has to use the old method to brew some real wine. On the one hand, it can make the real wine.
Mix some of the wine with the poor wine, and use the lees to steam a large amount of wine."
The wine brewed by the liquid method is the legendary edible alcohol, which is not very suitable for the taste of Chinese people. Therefore, most of the so-called liquors in later generations were further processed using the aroma-stringing method. The so-called aroma-stringing method is similar to
The method Zhu Youjian said before is almost the same!
"Your Majesty, you still have this wonderful method? I'll try it out after I get back! If it works, it won't be so difficult for the palace this year."
"By the way, buddy, I haven't asked you yet, how is your coal stove and bee coal business going?"
"This business is actually pretty good. Although it's hot now, you can still buy coal stoves and coal blocks. It's more convenient to use than firewood. It doesn't smoke much. It's suitable for ordinary people to use for daily cooking. That's it.
With the weather like this, I can make a profit of nearly ten thousand taels of silver in January, which is pretty good."
"As long as you can make money normally, just take your time. Now that the business is done, it's okay. When you're done, go back and give Julien a message. Ask him if he wants to continue working as a director in a sugar factory.
In my younger days, I still want to change my position. I am currently considering a new personnel appointment to see if he has the idea of changing his job. Let’s talk about it first. In the first year of the new job, he will not make money in the sugar factory.
many."
"After the old slave goes back, he will send a message to Yu Liancheng. The emperor has promoted him. How can he be picky? Let him do it."
"Daban, don't force yourself on this matter. You still have to respect other people's wishes. Forceful behavior is not sweet."
Yu Liancheng should be the first person to make a fortune by relying on Zhu Youjian's policies and benefits. The sugar factory's current net profit per month is nearly 20,000 taels of silver. With a 10% commission, it is one to two thousand taels.
.Relying on these few months of business, this guy must have saved nearly 10,000 taels. I heard that Wang Chengen pooled his money to buy shares in the enamel factory this time, and this guy settled the book of 5,000 taels of silver. In this way
The high salary is something that not many people in Ming Dynasty can earn right now, so they may not be interested in other jobs.
Regarding the business of the sugar factory, Zhu Youjian made some mistakes in his estimation. He thought that for such a small business, the turnover of tens of thousands of taels of silver a year would be as high as the sky, but he did not expect that Yu Liancheng could actually use thousands of taels of silver.
With two taels of start-up capital, the factory was built in less than a year.
Just when Zhu Youjian was about to call Yu Liancheng to talk about his position adjustment, Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia entered the palace again with livid faces to ask for an audience.
Judging from the expressions on the two people's faces, it must be that something big happened again.
"Grand Master, I am a soldier, but something big happened?" The two of them entered the palace together. Usually it was a military or state matter, and it should not be a casual matter talking about policies, so Zhu Youjian's attitude was also very serious.
"Your Majesty, the intruders captured Xiangyang in February."
"I have received a memorial on this matter, please continue."
"He proclaimed himself Zhi in Xiangyang, established a pseudo-state called Shun, and claimed to be the Civil and Military Marshal of the Fengtian Advocate for Righteousness. His momentum was so great that it was completely unbearable for the country." Zhou Yanru looked very solemn when he said this.
Even though Li Zicheng just added a title to himself and established a country in Xiangyang, the impact this had on the Ming Dynasty was more serious than losing an important city. The bandits who had established a system could no longer be treated as bandits.
At least it means that they already have a formal administrative team, as well as formal national policies, political opinions, and the idea of establishing a base area. This will attract the attention of many people who are truly capable of managing the country. Xiangyang Title System Mark
Li Zicheng's team is no longer a Caotai team, and their actions will no longer be like rogue bandits. From now on, every time the court loses a city, Li Zicheng will gain one more city, and will no longer play the game of occupying today and withdrawing tomorrow.
play house.
"The intruders in Xiangyang are called the system? It's not beyond my expectation. They have been doing so much in the Central Plains in the past two years. They should have the capital to call the system. Grand Master, my soldiers, you said that the intruders and the system are beneficial to the country and the dynasty.
No benefit?"
What are the benefits? Are there any benefits to this thing? Your Majesty is afraid that your brain will be funny before you ask such a question.
"Your Majesty, can this matter be of any benefit to the country?"
"Crisis, crisis, there are dangers. Everything can only have disadvantages and no advantages. In my opinion, there is at least one advantage to breaking into the system of thieves. At least they will no longer run around in disorder, but will have
The plan has a purpose and attacks from near to far. This will be beneficial to the court in judging their next march direction! And from now on, the battle between the country and the invaders will not only be between soldiers but also against the generals.
It is a purely military competition, and we have to compare our political performance with others. If their political performance is better than ours and can appease the people and stabilize the chaos in the Central Plains, there is no need to say more. But if their political performance is a mess,
Then if we suffer one or two major defeats, it will be much easier to bring peace to the imperial court."
