Chapter 259 [It turns out that this is my master, and the subtleties are profound](1/2)
"Close your little mouth and don't act like you have never seen the world. A million acres of land is not too much, because the five Youyun states have one billion acres of wasteland. If you add the Yunzhou in the northwest and
In Tanzhou, Hebei, this number can even reach 1.5 billion acres, so one million acres of land is not considered too big. It is far from the wealth we will have in the future."
"But for the time being, we have to focus on these one million acres of land."
"My teacher just said that the people of the Han family like to grow food. So, dear disciple, you can just imagine what it will be like when more than one million acres are planted with food..."
Hu Yun's mouth that he had just closed opened again.
I just heard Gu Tianya say with a faint smile: "More than one million acres of grain is enough to feed many people. At that time, there was no shortage of pancakes, and every household in Jiao'er was willing to eat a few meals. When hunger was no longer a problem,
The biggest problem, many people will find new problems, what is it? It’s vegetables!”
"Since everyone is growing food, few people are growing vegetables at the beginning. At this time, my disciple, your group suddenly picks up vegetables to sell on the street. Just think about what kind of hot scene it will be..."
"This is the first development path planned by Master Wei for your group."
…
The little guy was already stunned.
After a long while, he woke up from his dream and subconsciously said: "Is this the first way? Are there other ways?"
Gu Tianya smiled leisurely and said lightly: "Yes!"
Ma Sanbao put the iron kettle filled with snow on the stove, winked at the little guy at the right time, and said with a mischievous smile: "Your master has committed the habit of being a teacher again. Don't let him talk.
My mouth is dry."
After all, Hu Yun is a smart little guy. He immediately understood what Ma Sanbao meant. The little guy quickly stood up from the stool and said hurriedly: "Master, please wait for a moment. I will go find someone to borrow some tea."
Come."
As he spoke, he started to run out.
Gu Tianya reached out and fished him back.
Then, he glared at Ma Sanbao and said angrily: "It's snowing outside like a knife, where do you want this kid to get tea?"
Ma Sanbao smiled widely and winked: "I didn't expect this kid to be so stupid."
"Are you stupid?"
Gu Tianya glared at him even more fiercely.
Ma Sanbao groaned and squatted beside the stove to tend to the fire.
Gu Tianya then turned his head and said to the little guy: "You don't need to get tea, just drink some boiled water for me."
Hu Yun said quickly: "The disciple will bring you a cup to refill."
Gu Tianya smiled happily, nodded and said: "That's okay, this is what you should do. Although I don't pay much attention to the rules in the sect, I am also happy to see the disciples want to perform rituals. Since ancient times, we have been paying attention to respecting teachers.
Tao, it’s not a bad thing if you are willing to do this…”
Hu Yun nodded vigorously and stared at the iron kettle on the stove. The little guy wanted to wait for the water to boil, pick up the iron kettle, and then wait for Gu Tianya to drink some water to moisten his throat.
Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Gu Tianya felt more satisfied with this new disciple, but he would not show it on his face, but continued to speak: "When it comes to drinking hot water, I am just a master
The second route planned for you is very similar, so let’s take boiling water as the topic and let’s continue..."
The little guy was obviously stunned and subconsciously said: "Can I develop my group by boiling water?"
Gu Tianya laughed, reached out and flicked the little guy's head, and said: "Why not? It's completely possible! Many things in the world have their meanings. The key is whether you can think about it carefully. I ask you, my disciple, right now is
What time of year?"
Hu Yun hesitated and answered cautiously: "Nine severe colds?"
"Yes, it's freezing cold!"
Gu Tianya breathed out softly and said leisurely: "In this season, it is no exaggeration to say that a drop of water turns into ice. But my disciple, have you noticed that there are still people opening up wasteland in such a season?"
Hu Yun nodded quickly and said hurriedly: "Not only are there people opening up wasteland, but the number of people is also very large. Master, you may not know it yet, but our groups are secretly competing, and both the group leaders and the members are all working hard.
Work hard. Even though it’s freezing cold right now, there are groups opening up wasteland everywhere. Unfortunately, my group can only look on with envy, because my group is full of people who can’t do the hard work.”
"If you can't do hard work, then do soft work. If you can't open up wasteland, then do services. Since there are so many people braving the wind and cold to open up wasteland, isn't this a good opportunity for you and the people in your group?"
"Good opportunity?"
The little guy was obviously confused again.
At this time, the kettle was beeping and steaming, and a pot of hot water was obviously boiling. The little guy had no time to continue thinking, so he quickly picked up the iron kettle from the stove, then found a cup, and poured water for Gu Tianya respectfully.
Gu Tianya pointed at Li Jiancheng and said in a deep voice: "Pour a glass for my eldest brother first and let him drink some water to warm himself up."
Li Jiancheng smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, don't make the little guy too busy."
Although he said this, how could Hu Yun dare to listen like this? The little guy hurriedly found another cup and poured a cup for Li Jiancheng respectfully.
Li Jiancheng still smiled kindly, picked up the cup and sucked a little, then exhaled a breath, and said pointedly: "It's cold and freezing, drinking a cup of hot fruit will really warm your whole body, little Hu Yun, your master
He seems to have been talking about drinking boiled water. Let him continue talking quickly, this is a way for your group to make a fortune."
Hu Yun looked at Gu Tianya eagerly and shouted softly: "Master!"
Gu Tianya chuckled and said: "I mentioned service just now. Delivering boiled water can be regarded as a kind of service. Disciple, think about it. It's freezing cold right now. When the strong laborers from other groups brave the wind and snow to open up wasteland,
Why don't you take the old and weak people in your group to boil a large pot of hot water at home, then put it in an earthen jar, wrap it with a warm cloth, and then you lead the group members to choose
Running to the fields with an earthen jar filled with hot water..."
"Is it okay to sell a jar of hot water cheaply for a few pennies? But those groups working in the wind and snow can drink boiling water for only a few pennies. Each side gets what they need, isn't everyone happy?
"
"Also, food. It's freezing cold, and pancakes get cold in an instant. At noon, those people must eat after finishing work, right?"
The little guy nodded quickly and said hastily: "Yes!"
Gu Tianya smiled and said: "But most people don't go home to eat, but make do with it in the fields. My teacher once asked people to investigate and found that many people squatted on the fields and ate pancakes. The pancakes were frozen
It's so hard that you won't want to chew it unless you are extremely hungry. At this time, if you lead your team members to carry small stoves one by one, go to the place where they eat and provide services, such as using the fire to help them bake the pancakes.
Soft, like using a small iron pot to warm a pot of porridge filled with salt..."
Hu Yun almost blurted out and said in surprise: "This way, many people will definitely be willing to pay, and my team members will definitely make money."
Gu Tianya smiled happily and asked him: "Now do you feel that service is also a career path?"
The little guy's face was full of excitement.
He could no longer resist the urge to do these things.
On the contrary, several middle-aged Hus from Jingyang in the house were very cautious. Suddenly someone cautiously raised a question and said softly: "The reason why the people fled here is because they can't survive in their hometown. And it is precisely because of this.
, so these people are very frugal..."
The man paused for a moment while speaking, then carefully observed Gu Tianya's face, and then said: "As far as I know, those people are not willing to spend money casually. Although they braved the wind and snow to open up wasteland, they still have nothing to eat.
I gritted my teeth and gnawed the pancakes all the time. I also drank water. The women and children at home were sent to the place where they were working, so, then..."
The implication is self-explanatory, but it means that there are people doing these things, so even if Hu Yun really leads his team members to provide services, he may not really be able to make as much money as he imagined.
After all, ordinary people save money whenever they can.
They are not willing to waste money unless they have to.
Gu Tianya smiled and said calmly: "When something is done extremely professionally, others will find that it is best to leave it to professionals. For example, when you say deliver water and food, are those women and children going to delay you?
time?"
The person who just spoke fell into deep thought.
Gu Tianya continued: "The biggest advantage in doing things like service is professionalism. For example, when it comes to boiling water and delivering boiled water, my disciple's team specializes in this business. So whether it is boiling water in large quantities, or
Carrying insulated earthen pots to the fields is a commercial industry, so it is more considerate than ordinary people. Who would carry a stove to the fields? Just to give a meal to the man who is opening up wasteland.
Is the meal worth it? In this freezing season, can the boiled water they send be guaranteed to be hot when it arrives?"
"Taking a step back, even they can do this, but the energy they put in is not equal to the value they gain."
"For example, if women don't go to the fields to deliver food and water, they can save time to weave more cloth at home. For example, this cloth can be sold for five cents, while her man only needs to buy hot water outside.
Two cents, even if you add pancakes and hot porridge baked on the stove, it is only three cents at most, but the hot food that men can eat is much better than the cold food that women bring to the ground. At this time, the people
How will we choose? I think individuals will make the right choice, right?"
"And this kind of work cannot be carried out by one household alone. Why? Because the income is too little. After deducting the cost of the service of heating pancakes and hot porridge with hot water,
Maybe you won’t be able to earn a penny. However, this will take a lot of time, and many people just don’t want to waste this time. For example, as I just said, if women have the time, they can weave more cloth and earn more..."
"But for my disciple's team, this is what his team members do for a living, and they face a huge customer base. Even if each customer does not make a penny, it is okay. Since ancient times, small profits but quick turnover have been the rule
Words, I think you should understand the reason."
After saying this, everyone present stood frozen on the spot.
In fact, this kind of thing does not have too profound connotations. It is simply the most subtle and common trivial truth. However, few people think about it because many people subconsciously look down on this matter.
Gu Tianya slowly exhaled a stream of hot air and said slowly: "Yun'er's group only has forty-three families. Even if it recruits five hundred families in the future, it won't be too much. And how many families are there in my Youyun Land? I'm afraid it will be too many in the future."
Hundreds of thousands of families can't stop them. With so many people migrating, there must be old, weak, sick and disabled among them, and the path they will take in the future is the path I am planning for Yun'er's team. It doesn't matter if they can't do heavy work.
To be continued...
