Northern Dynasties

Chapter 204
In the afternoon, cars and horses gathered in Shangyuan again, and all the scholars from the surrounding villages greeted each other and walked into the manor.

When most of the participants entered the main hall of the manor and sat down, Li Tai and Liu Min walked into the hall surrounded by soldiers in the tents, waved their hands in response to the villagers who stood up to greet them, and occasionally stopped to chat with some of the respected and respected villagers. Have a few words of dialogue.

He walked to the host's seat and stood still, introduced Liu Min to everyone, then signaled everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "I'm busy for years, and I have free time at the end of the year. I should visit all the good men and sages in my hometown. All the folks have benefited me a lot, and the virtues are in the village. If you visit each household one by one, there will inevitably be differences. Gather together!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and thanked Li Tai for his kind invitation, and it was a joyful moment.

Those who accepted the invitation today were mainly the veterans of the Qumeng who were the first to participate in the Longshou Canal event.Since Li Tai initiated this matter last year, after a year, the Longshou Canal was finally dredged not long ago. Today's gathering can be regarded as a celebration.

"Today, all the sages from the village gathered in the hall. I don't call myself the tall and virtuous, but because all the sages and elders elected the consul as the canal owner. The canal was completed a few days ago. Fortunately, it has lived up to the high expectations of the villagers. In terms of merit, I have worked with the masses. Yes, I have the voice of the country alone, and I am really ashamed of receiving it, and I dare not be alone."

While talking, Li Tai waved to the hall, and a trilogy moved up a huge copper plaque, on which was written the four characters "Debei Xiangli".

Li Tai stood up, pointed at the copper plaque and said with a smile: "Collect the voice of the country widely, gather these four characters, and publicize the deeds of the Qu League's virtue and righteousness. Although the matter of the Qu League is over, the rural righteousness should not be dissipated. I am bound by the court." The mission is all in Kansai, and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the alliance."

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and applauded, cheering very much.

Li Tai asked people to hang this copper plaque outside the main hall of his home, and used his identity as the Messenger of Dushui to verify that this hall of his home would be the official meeting hall of the Qu League in the future.

He wanted to ask Daxingtai for a certification and praise, but Yuwentai is still busy digesting the harvest and expanding the army, probably too lazy to pay attention to his behavior of gaining fame, and Yuwentai's handwriting is not as good as his own correct.

Although it was a bit shameless for him to praise himself, Li Tai didn't feel embarrassed seeing everyone cheering so much.

He not only prepared a copper plaque for himself, but also prepared a gift for each of the township tyrants who took the lead in supporting him.

After the bronze plaque was hung up, he came down from the hall again, took a brocade box from Bu Qu, and came to Shangyuan Zhao Party Leader and said with a smile: "Friendship is not measured by material, but real gold can be the proof. Qu Since the founding of the League, Party Leader Zhao has not thought that his boss is greedy for idleness, he has done everything by himself, and he has worked hard, so I would like to thank you for this!"

While speaking, he opened the brocade box, and there was a yellow-orange gold medal inside. On the surface of the gold medal were the words "Village Yi Gaoshi", and on the back was the outline of the Longshou Canal engraved.A gold medal weighs more than a catty, so its value is already very high, and it also contains extraordinary meaning.

Elder Zhao's face was full of smiles, and he wanted to accept it but didn't dare to accept it. After Li Tai saw this, he simply tied the gold medal to help Party Leader Zhao on his belt, and the belt immediately hung on the belt of Party Leader Zhao. on the hip.

After seeing this, everyone clapped their hands and congratulated, their eyes full of envy.Li Tai didn't make them wait for too long. Everyone who came today was given the same gold medal one by one, spilling hundreds of catties of gold in one fell swoop.

While feeling Li Tai's lavish spending, everyone caressed the gold medal with great care, so the excitement and sense of honor they felt far exceeded the value of the gold itself.

Li Tai invited everyone to come to the party, of course, not just for the sake of spreading money. After delivering the presents and returning to the banquet, he smiled and said: "Although we all gathered in the hall because of the canal incident, but the rural affairs are not limited to the canal." One thing? All fellow villagers who suffer from food and clothing, disease, and hardship should be rescued by the righteousness of the village.

Taking advantage of the completion of the dragon's head, I will set up a warehouse for congratulations. I will fill the warehouse with grain, rice, ten thousand stones and a thousand horses of silk. Those who are in distress and seek help from the villagers all come out of it! "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another thunderous applause in the hall, and several township tyrants also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to donate goods to the charity storehouse to make this charitable deed.

Li Tai did not arrange any entrustment. It should be said that everyone has a righteous and kind side in their hearts. When helping others gain gratitude, they can also get great satisfaction in their hearts.

"Rural people do good deeds according to their own minds, but if they only blindly harm themselves and enrich others, it is definitely not a long-term solution. People only help themselves, and then they get help from others. Those who are lazy and abandon themselves are abandoned by God. No one can help them! "

Taking advantage of this momentum, Li Tai talked about the second matter: "Everyone should know that I entered the village alone last year, and I have accumulated a little wealth so far. Everything I have is the love and favor of the villagers. The so-called taking from others , Using it for people, although I am not known for great kindness, I also hope that all the villagers in the village will be well-off and courteous, not villains who are poor and scheming.

But often, although the villagers have the strength to manage their business, they may not have the capital to do things, so that they waste time and lose their ambition.Looking at these things in the past, there is compassion but no relief.Now that I have a little surplus in things, I also want to pass on my experience in managing my business to my close neighbors..."

When everyone heard this, they cheered up one after another.They all witnessed the rapid rise of Li Tai, a newcomer from Dongzhou, in the village. They may not know the power management beyond the rural situation, but they all firmly believe that Li Tai must have an exclusive secret.

Among other things, the high-quality and best-selling products in the Shangyuan Workshop alone are enviable.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Li Tai also felt that the atmosphere was well prepared, so he revealed his real plan.

He is now well-capitalized, but if the money is not spent, it will be a pile of dead things, but how to spend it more effectively requires certain skills.

With regard to the productivity level and business environment of the Western Wei Dynasty, even if you want to consume wildly, you don’t have the conditions, so you need to change the environment within your ability.

He wants to open a bank, and take these veterans in the canal alliance as customers. The second thing is to make money by lending money. The key is to let these local tyrants get out of their respective manors and participate in the economic activities of the whole society.

In order to avoid some quarrels and accusations that he was whimsical, Li Tai also prepared for a long time for this.

First of all, through the canal alliance, demarcate some rural households, and deepen the common sense of each other through the construction of the Longshou Canal, so that the personnel of the canal alliance will become an important part of their social life and interpersonal communication. It is to establish a deeper connection.

The gift of the gold medal is also to strengthen their sense of identity and honor for this identity. If they want to betray, they will have a greater psychological burden and social cost.In an ancient society where personnel were not often circulated, if debts were not repaid in the organizational structure of Qumeng, it would be a more serious social death than naked loans, and even generations of grandparents and grandchildren might be labeled as treacherous.

With such a stable lending environment, the risk of further financial activities will be minimized.Big data needs to be mastered by cloud computing. Li Tai relies on Qumeng's personnel network. As long as he doesn't blindly expand the lending atmosphere, his money will not be wasted.

Generally speaking, a powerful land is based on a self-sufficient large manor economy. Under normal circumstances, there is no demand for borrowing. Even if there is a surplus, the first choice is relatively stable investment in land.

Therefore, Li Tai has to set a good example and influence the people around him through his own industrial expansion, so that they can see an investment and production model with higher returns.

Even so, in view of the relatively fragile foundation of people's livelihood in Kansai, Li Tai did not advance blindly.

One of the first proposals he put forward was the textile that the villagers were most familiar with.It is no longer a one-stop production scattered in each household. Li Tai provides mulberry seedlings, silkworm eggs, hemp seeds and other items for free here. Sold back to Li Tai.

These silk and hemp raw materials are sent back to each household for weaving after being processed by a large spinning wheel.Li Tai also provides looms here. How many fabrics each loom must provide each year, after deducting the cost of silk, linen and looms, other fabrics will be exchanged with the same amount of items at the current price.

Only after resources are replaced can they be optimally allocated.After mastering the Luoshui water conservancy, Li Tai's workshop's spinning capacity surged, but the weaving was seriously hindered. Even if he wanted to expand output, there were not enough weavers.

For the rural households, this production mode has also greatly improved their production efficiency, and the change of production mode and the expansion of production capacity do not require any input from them at all, and are all supported by Li Tai.

So when Li Tai finished talking about his plan, all the villagers present claimed the looms one after another.There is almost no risk in this matter. Even if they don't join in, they will each carry out textile production.

There are nearly a hundred township lords in the hall, and the number of looms varies from family size to claiming different numbers. Some have more than a dozen looms, and some have hundreds of looms.At the end of the count, there were more than [-] looms claimed.

According to the return of one hundred looms per loom, by this time next year, Li Tai will be able to have a huge cargo of more than [-] looms!And [-]% of it will be deducted as his cost input, in other words, more than [-] horses belong to him.For the remaining more than [-] horses, he gave equivalent materials in exchange.

This account is not ignorant, and they were taken aback when they calculated it. Everyone checked it out, and for a while they doubted Li Tai's ability to control such a large material handicap.

Li Tai proved his strength with practical actions, and directly asked people to bring gold and silver to be weighed in the hall. He did not have more than [-] looms, so he could only buy them from rural households. The church is called gold, as much as you want!

In other words, each family sold their looms to Li Tai, and then took them back for production. They exchanged the ownership of the looms for gold and silver, and the production was correct, as long as the quota was returned by this time next year.

The villagers naturally made a lot of money, and Li Tai didn't lose money. His family couldn't weave the more than [-] pieces of fabric in a year. More than [-] pieces of Gao Ao Cao!
