Villager of Daming

Chapter 918 Operation Supervision and Finding Good Strategies

"White peaches are not as festive as red peaches. Is anyone willing to buy them?"

The chief thinks that white peaches are usually placed in sacrificial halls or mountain temples.

When celebrating birthdays, getting married, or giving birth to children, red peaches are often displayed.

"If you turn it into a tribute, others won't care about the color. Due to logistics, after planting peaches, it's best to set up a local cannery, which can be directly affiliated with a department store.

It is more convenient to use tinplate to pack fruits than glass bottles. After people buy and finish eating, the empty cans can also be used to store things.

You can make large cans, and when there are no peaches to eat in winter, open a can and sell it. In the end, people will buy the cans. "

Zhu Wentian is not afraid that the white peaches cannot be sold, nor can they be sold normally. They can only be eaten by the people nearby, and the peaches cannot be preserved if they are far away.

If there is no condition to make canned fruits, they can only be thrown away. A few people will try to dry them in the sun, but few people eat dried fruits and they are not delicious. Unless they are processed into preserved fruits, the cost is too high.

The common people had no skills or funds, so they built a factory. They just planted peaches and canned hawthorns. If the canned fruit tasted delicious, they would make more of it, such as cherries and apricots.

Grapes... I feel that not many canned grapes are eaten, and they generally like to eat them fresh. It is better to make raisins than canned ones, and use them as snacks or put them on snacks.

"If department stores increase their fruit processing business, will there be any management problems in the future?"

The manager stopped thinking about whether the peaches would sell well, and instead thought about the business of department stores. Department stores usually do not produce, but are only responsible for purchasing and sales.

If a canning factory is set up using a department store, will the cannery only supply the department store, or will it also sell to other places?

If integrated with a department store, the cannery would not pay taxes. It would exist independently and would have to pay taxes to whomever it sells to.

There is a department store cannery in Yangqu County. Should there be one in Datong Prefecture? Is that cannery under the management of the local department store or the department store headquarters in Nanjing?

"Who owns it is a secondary issue. When the season is right, graft it when it's time. In autumn, we can use seeds to plant pears and peaches. Then we can take out the seedlings and graft them onto big trees at this time next year."

Zhu Wentian didn't care about the positioning of the cannery, whoever wanted to manage it, and even established the Quan Daming Cannery, and the other places were branch factories.

In this way, the cannery became a state-owned enterprise of the Ming Dynasty. If the system is not sound, it will produce good results when it is first established. Over time, various corruptions will appear.

Including buyers who collect peaches, pears, plums and other fruits, they control the rating standards, which are related to the price of fruits.

The leader of a local fruit factory has financial and personnel rights. He will purchase the fruit of anyone who gives him money at a high price, and arrange for good operational positions for anyone who gives him money.

"We will build a factory immediately and send a telegram back to Nanjing to send equipment, tinplate cans and manual sealing machines.

Problems related to corruption and abuse of law should be dealt with according to officials' methods, bonuses should be increased, and a system of high reporting bonuses and consecutive prosecutions should be established.

Reporting makes a lot of money, helping to cover up the theory of complicity, bribery is also dealt with, no one can escape. "

As soon as Zhu Wentian finished speaking, the director immediately knew that he had to operate independently, otherwise there would be no need to mention bonuses and reporting fees.

He went back to his place to write the question book. Ying Tianfu came over with shipping equipment and empty cans to keep accounts first, and then pay them back when the cannery made a profit. At the same time, he would not pay taxes until there was no profit.

In a few months, you can plant fruit trees from seeds to survive the winter, and then use young seedlings to graft them next year to save time.

If you plant in spring, you need to wait until late autumn before grafting. Depending on the weather conditions, it is easy to freeze to death in places that are too cold.

It turns out that the fruit trees, which have a bad taste and low yield, are just serving their purpose. It would be a pity to just cut them down because they have grown so big.

... The next morning, when everyone went to the dining room, the chief showed the question book directly to the four princes.

"The local cannery... let me open it! The other places will be handed over to the court. I can arrange people with peace of mind and save taxes by the way."

After Zhu Fan read the question book, he wanted to manage it by himself, and no one else needed to worry about the fiefdom.

Others have no objections. Zhu Xi and Zhu Di want to see the effect. If it is good, they will do the same in their own fiefdoms.

After passing the exam, Zhu Fan showed the question book to Guo Zhifu and other officials while he ate.

Today's breakfast is two-meter porridge made of rice and millet, plus steamed buns stuffed with the lamb shaved off from yesterday's roasting of the whole lamb.

The people from the town came again, and they had to farm. This area was suitable for growing rice. The other areas were not developed, so they only grew vegetables or small grains.

They also raised rabbits and pigs. The sergeant taught them that many wild rabbits were caught and kept in cages to reproduce. The pigs also caught piglets from various places and waited to feed them the wild fruits they liked.

It is said that wild boars love to eat fruits, including small fruits grown on thorns. Wild boars dare to dig into any place due to their rough skin and thick flesh.

The population of Jinci Town was not large. Zhu Wentian had less than 40,000 people at that time, and it was decreasing year by year, with more people dying than living.

The development is not good, the per capita income is low, and nothing can be sold for more money. The key is that there is such a good Jinsi, but they don't know how to take advantage of it. They act as if they are willing to take the bait. They kill every tourist and have no hope of others coming. twice.

At the same time, it needs to be publicized but not publicized, and it needs supporting facilities but not supporting facilities. Just go in and take a look at a few buildings, and then in line with the current solar terms, there will be gardens.

The people of the Ming Dynasty had only one idea about the future: stability, and they said they wanted to make a lot of money, but they didn't know how to make it. How much food could be produced from the fields every year seemed to be fixed.

Now I listen to the sergeant and raise rabbits. He said that a shop called a department store is going to open here to collect rabbit skins and dried rabbits.

If you raise sheep for milk and pigs for your own meat, others don't dare to think about it.

But the situation was better when I came here this morning. Someone came again with rice to exchange for noodles. The cart came and pushed all the leftover rice at home. I don’t plan to eat it before the rice harvest this year. It’s good to eat noodles.

Just like the mutton buns you just took a bite of, with tofu added in them, they are rich in oil and water and are fragrant!

There was a lot of soybean oil in the steamed buns they ate. The beans were cold-pressed yesterday and the remaining bean dregs were used to make tofu. Hot-pressed beans cannot be used to make tofu.

Cold-pressed soybean oil has a fishy smell. It should be heated and boiled first to make it less fishy. People are short of oil and water, and the more oil, the more delicious it is.

People in Xiaqiu Village and Prince's Mansion don't eat greasy food because it's too greasy, and there's no tofu in the stuffing, only mutton and spring onions.

The tofu is made into a side dish. The tofu is mixed with spring onions. It tastes refreshing and can suppress the taste of mutton.

"It's delicious. Don't look at the size of the small buns, they taste good. The big buns leak a lot of soup and leave a layer of oil on the plate.

You haven’t finished reading yet, so why not eat first? Actually, there is nothing, just the trees we saw yesterday and how to graft them.

There is no harvest today and next year, but it will start to bear fruit the year after next. It just so happens that the cannery has been in operation for more than a year and has enough capacity to take on the crops. "

Zhu Fan ate two steamed buns and drank four mouthfuls of porridge. Seeing that the officials were still watching, he urged him.
