Chapter Eleven There should be applause here
Yuwen Wen's question came too quickly and was inexplicable. Wang Xu couldn't react for a moment and could only answer involuntarily: "Ah, ah... I don't know."
"Tell me, how much do you think it can be sold?"
"Ah, maybe, maybe five jin per pound."
"That's the cost price! It starts at fifteen!"
Yuwen Wen started to spit out as if he had changed his own person and said: "Shimi from Lingnan can be bought at a price in Chang'an, but if you want to sell well, you must have a gimmick. You must have a good name first!"
"What kind of Shennong wild cane, Lingbiao honey cane, and what kind of sounds mysterious will be said!"
"It's time to harvest, cut the juice and squeeze out impurities and dry them over low heat, make stone honey according to standard sizes, wrap it with the best Huangzhou paper, and you have to wrap it with three layers!"
"Transported to Fanyu's store, waiting for the North to buy it, hire two Persian Hu to stand at the door of the store, one on the left and one on the right. As long as you see someone entering, no matter what happens, you have to say to them, 'Friend, the Lord Mazda is with you'!"
"It must be in Persian Chinese. You can tell at first that it is an authentic Fanbang Hu people who have just come from overseas, which makes those merchants feel particularly pompous!"
Yuwen Wen was so scattered that the sky was so scattered. Lady Xian couldn't help but frown as she heard it. The reason why she personally escorted Yuwen Wen to inspect all parts of Lingnan was because she believed that the King of Xiyang really wanted to manage Lingnan well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The change of dynasties will not be too psychologically burdened for the slang leaders in Lingnan. Everyone is concerned about how the new government will treat them, so it is useless to say too much irrelevant things.
How much can Shimi be sold in Chang'an and how much can it be sold for more? This is not the thing that everyone is most concerned about!
Before leaving, Mrs. Xian specially provided Yu Wen with a lot of information about the customs and customs of Lingnan to let the other party understand the general situation in Lingnan. Every time she went to a place, she could talk to the local leaders and talked to the key points.
How should the new government collect rent and transfer, what kind of land system should be implemented? Do local leaders need to send their sons to Fanyu as their hostage, and do many local officials in remote prefectures and counties need to be changed from hereditary to commissioned?
What is the corvee service like? If the government wants to build a large scale of construction, will it recruit people from all over the country?
As a result, you are talking about how much Shimi can be sold in Chang'an and how to sell more. Not many people care about it!
Mrs. Xian looked at the left and right, and the attendees were all confused. She looked at Yu Wen Wen dancing and talking loudly in the middle of the venue, completely confused.
Sighing, Lady Xian planned to confirm with Yuwen Wen again, and advised the other party to send officials to various prefectures and counties again, and explain to you all the measures that the new government might take so that everyone would be unsure.
"So, what does the government want everyone to do? It's mutual benefit!"
"The court has the final say about what tax reduction and exemption and what taxes are, and I will not make promises at will, but I can promise how much Shimi from Lingnan is, and how much does it cost!"
"One pound of stone honey, two jin of money is only two taels of silver to purchase. If you can't transport stone honey to Fanyu, it doesn't matter. The caravan will come to you and buy it at home."
"You can use glass and daily necessities to exchange the stone honey in your hands, or use gold and silver to exchange stone honey. If you walk with the caravan, there will be doctors!"
"A doctor who can scrape bones and heal injuries, a doctor who can cure dislocated, a doctor who can cut off his ulcerated hands and feet, but can save human life, and a woman who can treat mistresses."
"They are not miraculous doctors, but they are all good doctors. They cannot cure all diseases, but they can cure more people!"
"The pregnant women in your village will have fewer corpses and two lives when they are about to give birth! Some people with ulcerated hands and feet still have a chance to survive! This is something I can guarantee and has nothing to do with the decision of the court!"
I heard that there would be good doctors, and many people changed their previous confused expression and became anxious. The "Sunset King" talked a lot, and finally talked about what they were concerned about.
A doctor who can save people is undesirable. Although most of the villages have witch doctors passed down from their ancestors, to be honest, it is not very useful at critical moments.
Especially when pregnant women are dying, the woman cries and screams so darkly, and the man is heartbroken outside. As a result, the witch doctor lit a brazier outside and jumped around. After a long time of struggle, the big ones were gone and the small ones were gone.
Who can you blame? Just blame yourself for being unlucky!
However, this "Sunset King" said that when the government came to buy Shimi, it would bring good doctors to stay for a while and treat the people in their location. This really made everyone look forward to it.
It is said that Shimi can buy high prices in the distant Central Plains, so merchants will come to Lingnan to buy Shimi for huge profits, and the caravans organized by the government or caravans in Huangzhou will bring doctors together.
This is a risk-free deal in Shi. There have always been stone honey in Lingnan. Even if the merchants in the north do not come to buy it, they can still sell it to Fanyu's overseas merchants at a minimum price. In other words, after you find a way to find a variety of sugarcane, even if the "Sunset King" breaks his promise, the stone honey they have in their hands can be sold and will never lose.
If the "Sunset King" keeps his promise and picks up sugarcane in winter to make stone honey, then according to the purchase price, everyone will be very rich, let alone the caravans that buy Shimi will bring good doctors.
The leaders came to see the "Sunset King" together today. They originally planned to go through the motions, show their faces and then verbally suspense, saying that they had no intention of fighting against the new government, but they did not expect that the other party would make such a promise.
Some people have heard that they had already done a big deal with Fanyu to transport the stone honey from their hands to Fanyu to exchange for good things. After hearing the news, they were still skeptical. Now it seems that it is very likely that it is true.
"King of Sunset" did not have any long talk about what would happen to the court, but instead said that it would buy Shimi and transport it to the Central Plains to make a lot of money, so it was willing to exchange it for all kinds of good things. Such a blunt statement would make it easier for the leaders to believe in the sincerity of the new government.
To purchase Shimi, where does Shimi come from? Squeeze sugarcane juice.
Where does sugarcane come from? It is planted by slang people everywhere in the field.
Therefore, the new government needs everyone to grow sugarcane and need everyone to open up land and plant more sugarcane. Killing people will only lead to no one growing sugarcane. So the new government probably won’t kill indiscriminately?
Then the merchants brought various goods to exchange for (buy) stone honey. Since it was a business, you can take this opportunity to exchange for some urgently needed goods, which is also a very good deal.
But...whether you drink so much, do you think what you say when you are drunk?
"I'm drunk too much today! But after drinking, I'm talking about the truth! Shimi is a good thing. If you want to get rich, you can grow sugarcane! The government welcomes everyone to grow sugarcane!"
"Don't be afraid of rotten in your hands, and don't be afraid of not being able to sell it! The merchants dare to collect as much stone honey as you dare to make at a fair price! Whatever you want to exchange for, merchants can ship it!"
Yuwen Wen transformed into a pyramid scheme leader and introduced the "financial products" to the leaders present, so that they could win over more people to "join the association". As he listened, Wang Meng was already amazed and crying.
When he took office, he also inspected various states, and was frightened and frightened, which made the slang leaders in various places stunned. As a result, this person was so good that he talked about business affairs that he also made everyone stunned.
This young man really can't understand...
"It's useless to say too much. I came to Longzhou here, and there were doctors who could help everyone see a doctor and merchants, who brought a lot of goods. Tomorrow, everyone can send someone to the Chuanshuo to see!"
"What should I do if there are people in the village who are so poor that they don't even have a piece of clothing? Organize them to open up land and plant sugarcane! Make hard money by labor, save them to buy cloth to make clothes, repair houses, marry a wife, and live a good life!"
"Don't just plot against me all day long. I'll plot against you. Is it interesting? Is it interesting? It's better to plant sugarcane when you have this time!!"
After hearing what Yuwen Wen said, everyone was thinking, and then someone couldn't help but ask, "Master, but we lack farm tools."
Of course, what he said was not Chinese. After the translation, Yuwen Wen laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if there is a lack of agricultural tools. The government can provide it. You can exchange it for stone honey."
"But...well, the government has always been very concerned about iron products..."
"I'm going to control it tightly because I'm afraid that someone will melt it to make weapons, but it's boring to do this without giving it to me. If everyone lives a good life, who wouldn't think of melting the hoe and destroying weapons to rebel?" Yu Wen's expression was gone at this time and he was full of energy when he spoke.
"Of course, iron tools must be taken care of. If someone melts weapons privately, I will cut him off!"
"The government welcomes everyone to a variety of sugarcane and is willing to provide sufficient iron farm tools, provided that everyone participates in Baojia. As long as there is a melt iron soldier, other companies must report it, otherwise they will be held in a row!"
"The villages participating in Baojia have various iron tools provided by the government, good rice seeds, caravans come to buy specialties, and they will also bring cheap and affordable goods. When you go back, think about it carefully. Should you work hard to open up land, plant sugarcane, and grow rice, or wait for me to lead my troops to get rid of the weeds and roots!"
Only fools can have money but don’t make a profit and rebel. I’ll wait for you to lead troops to get rid of the roots...
The leaders thought so, and they all seemed quite excited. Yuwen Wen asked, "I am now in Longzhou, so I can make the decision first. Anyone who wants to sell Shimi? Raise your hand."
He saw that everyone raised their hands and was very satisfied: "Every ten kilograms of stone honey can be replaced with an additional iron hoe."
The leaders were quite surprised when they heard this, and then they all became excited and looked happy. Yuwen Wen asked again when he saw the good atmosphere: "Iron Scythe, is anyone willing to change it? Iron Axe, is anyone willing to change it?"
"Yes, I'm willing!"
"It's good if you want to, I have brought a lot of iron farm tools!"
"More...thank you, thank you, thank you, lord!"
The leaders did not expect that the "Sunset King" was so sincere and excited that they could not speak. Yuwen Wen smiled slightly when he saw this: "There should be applause here."
The leaders didn't know what "there should be applause here". They were in a bad mood for a while and looked a little embarrassed, but what broke the embarrassment was crisp applause, which was Mrs. Xian applauding.
Someone made a demonstration, and the leaders finally came back to their senses and applauded to express their gratitude to the "King of Sunset".
Lady Xian clapped and looked at Yuwen Wen. She confirmed again that the young man was united in words and deeds.
When Mrs. Xian thought that there were many prefectures and counties to go to, and the leaders of many prefectures and counties, the people could get Yuwen Wen's promise and get iron tools that could be opened up, Lady Xian became more and more looking forward to it.
