How to become the richest man by farming

Chapter 153

Jiang Yun blinked, and looked at Mr. Su, "Mr. Fan, the one who offered relief with work, isn't that the story you told me, sir?"

Mr. Su:? ? ?

"Did I remember it wrong?" Jiang Yun scratched his head and looked at Jiang Yang, "That's what my fourth uncle told me?"

Jiang Yang was uncertain: "...Ah? Yes, me?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Yun looked distressed, "Then where did I hear the story?"

"Don't worry about where you heard it, let's talk about how he did 'relief with work'." Han Zheng said anxiously.

It is not uncommon to use work-for-relief relief methods. Usually, the government announces the construction of water conservancy projects.

It's just that the county government of Yuqing County is poor and poor now, and the higher-ups don't grant him money, so they don't have money to use work as relief.

He cried and told Jiang Yun about these things yesterday, so it can be seen that what Jiang Yun mentioned should not be that simple, so he urgently urged Jiang Yun to elaborate.

So Jiang Yun cleared his throat and began to tell the story...

Han Zheng frowned when he heard that during Fan Gong's calamity year, there were a lot of competitions and banquets outside every day.

But when he heard that the trade in the city was booming, the number of people who traded, ate, crafted, and persuaded increased dramatically. Fan Gong persuaded the temples and the wealthy households in the city to take advantage of the low wages to build large-scale projects...

Han Zheng and Mr. Su looked at each other, and they both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

"In a famine year, it is the worst policy for the imperial court to provide food relief;
If we can build water conservancy and use labor instead of relief, it is a medium policy;

Fan Gong's ability to stimulate commerce to solve the famine dilemma is really the best policy. "

While being amazed, Han Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "Although this move is a good strategy, it is not suitable for Yuqing County."

Jiang Yun didn't understand, but Jiang Yang, who often went to and from the wharf, had already understood, "Although Yuqing County is close to the Minzhou Wharf, it is not prosperous because of tigers and bandits. It is difficult to feed so many refugees."

Han Zheng didn't expect Jiang Yang to have such insights, so he glanced at him in surprise, nodded and said, "Besides, motivating business is easy to say, but not easy to do. The right time, place and people are indispensable."

Seeing that Jiang Yun bowed his head and remained silent, Mr. Su couldn't bear her frustration, and said, "Although it is not suitable for Yuqing County, it is indeed a good idea. Encouraging business can't be done at all. Maybe we can try to persuade rich households to start construction."

Han Zheng nodded, "You can give it a try."

……

Leaving Mr. Su's yard, Jiang Yun didn't say a word all the way.

All the way to the door of the dry goods processing workshop, Jiang Yang couldn't help but comfort him: "Yunniang, don't be sad, you've done a good job. It's just that you don't know much about the situation in Yuqing County. I'll make a few more trips to the pier and meet more people, and it will be clear..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang with bright eyes, "Really?! Fourth Uncle, you said this yourself! Don't go back on your word."

Jiang Yang: ...

"Are you cheating on me??"

"Of course not, I was thinking about something." Jiang Yun said excitedly and pulled Jiang Yang to Zhang Liang's yard.

The two sat on the floor in the shade under the porch, Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang eagerly and said, "Fourth Uncle, our family has 200 taels of silver in savings now, right?"

"There should be."

Although the money is collected by the mother, all accounts are settled by them, and the remaining money in the family cannot be hidden from them.

Jiang Yang couldn't help turning his head to look at Jiang Yun, "You don't want to use it to help refugees, do you? Don't even think about it, Mom won't agree!"

"Of course I know." Although she wanted to help the refugees, she never thought of helping the whole family.

The money in the family was earned by the whole family through hard work, and it is the capital for the family to live and work.

What she wants to do is make money!
"Then what do you want to do? The family will use the money to build a house. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, so don't think about it."

The matter of building a house has been mentioned since years ago. Although it has been delayed for some time because of bandits, these days, people from the village have helped. Now the land has been measured, and the rocks and mud tiles are basically ready. After the summer harvest in the village is over, you can start digging the foundation.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yun warily.

It would not be a trivial matter to make Jiang Yun think about the savings at home.And when she mentioned it at this time, it must have something to do with refugees.

Thinking that after the house is built, everyone in the family can have a room of their own, Jiang Yun couldn't help shaking, but it was only a little shaken, Jiang Yun said: "The house is going to be built, but I think You can take it easy."

Jiang Yang was puzzled and said, "Why? Isn't it the right time to build? Anyway, people in the village are very busy. If we build a house now, we can find some refugees to work and help a few people."

Jiang Yun looked at Jiang Yang seriously, "Since we can ask refugees to help, why not expand our dry goods processing workshop?"

Hearing that Jiang Yun had this idea, Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and lazily leaned against the pillar, "Don't even think about it."

He said this not because the workshop's business was not good.

In fact, the business of the workshop is doing extremely well these days.

After receiving a few orders from Manager Jin, their dry goods have become famous in Minzhou Wharf.

Almost all the fleets that often sailed to and from Minzhou Wharf had placed orders with him.

Some of them were taken along the way to buy and sell in other places, and some were taken on board for eating.

Although each caravan doesn't need much, but there are so many caravans that can't hold back Fujian Province!

Minzhou is not like their Yuqing County. Minzhou is a big city in the south, and there are many caravans coming and going.

Each caravan needs a little, and the accumulation will be considerable.

Every time I go to the wharf to collect a batch of orders, the whole village is busy for a long time before I can send them out.

They didn't even have time to go to the nearby villages, and they all raised the price to let them deliver it to their door.

In this way, sometimes there are times when the supply is not available.

When they built the workshop, they didn't expect dry goods to sell so well. Today's workshop is almost non-stop from morning to night.

The reason why the expansion was not agreed was because even if it was expanded, the villagers would not be too busy.

You can't just throw away the land and stop planting in order to sell dry goods, right?
But Jiang Yun had already thought about it: "If there is no one, then hire someone."

Jiang Yang came to his senses now, and sat up slightly, "You mean, those refugees?!"

Jiang Yun nodded excitedly, "Didn't Mr. Han say that he was going to let the refugees open up wasteland and farm land, and let them enter the household registration of Yuqing County? Then why can't they come to our village? It happens that our workshop is short of people!"

To be honest, Jiang Yang was a little moved.

Although there are people in other villages who collect dry goods to sell, they are all scattered, definitely not as large as they are, and the quality is not as good as them.

Some caravans that have high quality requirements would rather not buy them than those bulk goods.If only they could expand production...

Um?No, I almost got caught in it.

Jiang Yang shook his head, sobering up a lot, "Even if there are people, there must be goods. The shiitake mushrooms grown in the village will not be harvested until the end of the year, and the bamboo shoots in the mountains are not inexhaustible."

"Then expand the variety. The apricots, plums, and olives in the mountains can be pickled and dried to make snacks. There is also jerky. The jerky made last night is a bit thicker, but the taste is good. It should be better with a little improvement. .

Of course, the most important thing is sweet potatoes. Dried sweet potatoes are also delicious and easy to make. "

Jiang Yang: ...

"It turns out that you are trying to sell the sweet potatoes... But in this way, our family's savings may be a little stretched."

　see you tomorrow!
