Chapter 541 Is the Prosperity of the Commodity Economy Too Excessive?
"You are going to Liaodong to help Magistrate Li open a bicycle factory? That means we will get married the day after tomorrow, and you will be separated from me in a few days?"
Liu Dazhuang definitely wanted to talk to Xiao Taohong about such a big thing as going to Liaodong. So when the two were about to get married, he hurried over to talk about it. This is because Xiao Taohong's status is special. If ordinary people want to see her at this time,
Can't see anyone.
"Madam, this is not what Yuting wants to do! If this matter is done, it will be of great help to his career. Don't worry, I can't stay in Liaodong for a long time. I can only make cars in half a year at most.
Once the matter is settled, I will return to Beijing to accompany you. As for the stocks Yu Ting mentioned, I don’t want them. I’m just afraid that I will be tied up in Liaodong and unable to escape because of the stocks.” Liu Dazhuang, isn’t it?
Why do you care so much about money, but you are so smart, and you still have some emotional intelligence to coax your wife.
"Humph, you only have brothers and others in your heart, and you don't put me in your place."
"Madam, something happened suddenly, and I handled it improperly. If Madam is not happy for me to go, how about I tell Yuting to push the matter aside?"
"Hmph! Can you push it? That's all. I won't stop you from going to Liaodong, but there are two conditions. You have to agree to me! First, we don't want shares in the car park, but our family has to invest real money in it. I will give it to you.
You collect one thousand taels of silver dollars and use them as your shares in the car factory. A trip to Liaodong cannot be in vain, right? We also have to buy some property for our family. Secondly, you have to find a matchmaker for one of your brothers, and finally
It's best to get him married when he leaves Beijing. In this way, you two brothers will have someone to take care of you when you go to Liaodong. I have a lot of things in the Chinese Drama Club here, so I definitely won't be able to accompany you to Liaodong."
"Say a matchmaker? Do you have a suitable candidate to introduce to Yuting?"
Liu Dazhuang and Li Yuting have been very busy in recent days. While they are busy with their marriage, they also have to recruit people through various connections in the work area of the capital and worry about building a car factory. Yes, Li Yuting accepted the contract and
Yuyuan’s marriage, and at my mother’s urging, I have to get it done before the vacation ends.
According to Li Yuting's conditions, it is not difficult to find a promising marriage partner. But he feels that since he is an orphan and a widower, he may not have any trouble finding a family with a good family background. This girl Yu Yuan knows everything.
He is also half a relative of his good brother Da Zhuang, and it is easy to get along with him after marrying him. As for Yu Yuan’s identity, Li Yuting doesn’t care. His mother also sees clearly, so she agrees. In this era
, marriage is that simple, not as complicated as later generations, and things like emotional foundation are not considered at all.
At the beginning of the eighth lunar month, Li Yuting and Liu Dazhuang, together with their families, secretaries and more than twenty recruited craftsmen, chartered three rail cars from the station and set off for Liaodong.
The team is quite large. In addition to the people, they also brought some bicycle parts sold from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as related simple tools. After arriving in Xingcheng, they must first start the assembly and trial production of bicycles. It is best to be able to build them while building
Factory, while getting familiar with the manufacturing process of bicycles, the factory will rush to achieve mass production before the end of the year.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
This time back to Beijing to visit relatives, Li Yuting really gained a lot. Not only did he marry a beautiful girl, but he also successfully completed the plan of attracting investment and inducing children. With the one thousand taels of silver dollars raised by his sister-in-law, he had enough start-up capital to build a bicycle factory.
It has been solved. After arriving in Xingcheng, with a loan guaranteed by the government and another two thousand taels of silver dollars, the car factory can start construction. The remaining funding gap can be solved by raising shares from local businessmen in Xingcheng. It should not be a big problem.
Watching her newlywed husband, his good brother, and her sisters who had been following her for many years leave the station on the rail car. Xiao Taohong couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance in her heart. These people who left are now her closest relatives.
I wonder if they can start a career after they arrive in Liaodong? I raised a thousand taels of silver for my husband and asked him to start a career. This is the biggest wealth that Xiao Taohong can provide.
Although she is a high-income person, she is still a person who earns money by working. She only ends up with a few hundred taels of silver dollars a year. But she doesn't feel sorry for the money she spent at all, because this amount
The money is used to support my husband's career.
Of course, there is another reason for Xiao Taohong to spend huge sums of money so generously, which is that in recent years, the people in the capital have unconsciously gained investment confidence. Whether they are people with big money or people with small money, people are willing to
Use money to do things instead of holding on to cash cautiously.
For people like Xiao Taohong who have a large amount of cash, they naturally consider buying property and starting a business first when investing. Ordinary people don’t let a little money go to waste. They buy a national bond, guarantee the principal and interest, and just sit back and do it.
Wouldn't it be nice to make money?
When people have investment confidence, more money flows into the market. Both the industrial industry and the consumer market have entered an unprecedentedly active and prosperous state. This state even made Zhu Youjian feel that it was a bit excessive.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the current commercial tax collected each year exceeds two million taels. The commercial tax of two million taels does not sound like a lot. But you must know that the commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was calculated at thirty
It is collected once, and the normal operation of street stalls is tax-free. In other words, excluding the operation of small stalls, the total merchandise transaction volume next year will reach a scale of more than 60 million taels of silver! Including the transactions of small stalls
It is absolutely no problem for the amount and the total transaction volume to exceed 100 million taels. The Ming Dynasty mentioned in this data is not the entire Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty with only two major provinces!
The scale of commodity transactions exceeding 100 million taels does not seem to be large. The annual output value of palace property is more than 40 million taels, which seems to account for as much as 30% of the total output value of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the people within the territory have
With a population of nearly 20 million, if averaged to each person, the amount of goods consumed is only five or six taels of silver dollars. What is there to make a fuss about?
The accounts cannot be calculated this way. The goods that the uterine delivery system participates in the circulation within the territory actually account for less than half of the total output value. More than half of the products flow to the market outside the territory through exports. In other words, the current uterine delivery system accounts for only half of the total output value of the intra-territorial market.
The consumption proportion of the country is only about 15%, and the remaining market share is all supplied by private markets within and outside the country. There are nearly 20 million people, most of whom are farmers, and the number of people who can participate in commodity consumption is only
Only five to six million. If you calculate it this way, the annual consumption amount of each consumer is basically more than thirty taels of silver dollars! This is a bit amazing, that is, in less than ten years, the commodity economy in the jurisdiction has developed to this extent.
