Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 274 Gold Swallowing Beast

For several days in a row, country gentry came to the door, asking for high-yielding rice.

And because of the actions of these squires, some small landlords and free farmers who were on the sidelines also took action.

We can plant again this year, but it will be a big loss if we delay it for a few more days!
Not to mention, that god-grown potato with a yield of two thousand catties per mu!

But these few days Zuo Fu was not in the yamen.

The fish released in Ge Lake and Changdang Lake can be harvested, so in the past few days, Zuo Fu took these officials from the Ministry of Industry to visit the cage fish farming bases in various places.

This year, Zuo Fu cultivated [-] mu of fish cages in major lakes in Changzhou. Compared with later generations, this scale is very small, but the digestion capacity of Changzhou is limited, which is enough.

These fish were transported on the boat, and when they were delivered to Changzhou city, the fish were still very fresh.For herring, the asking price is 10 Wen per catty, while grass carp is cheaper at 6 Wen per catty.

This price is very conscientious, and the whole fish can be bought for only a few dozen or a hundred yuan.And like crucian carp, a fish is only about ten yuan.

For one shipment, a small yellow boat dedicated to the canal can pull about 200 catties of fish at a time, and the net profit for one shipment is 300 taels to [-] taels.

And 1500 catties of fish are only the output of one mu of water area. With 30 mu, this batch of fish alone can make a profit of at least [-] taels!

Regarding Zuo Fu's ability to make money, Ren Ning and others were convinced!

It is true that fish farming in ponds is quite profitable, but the price of fish is also expensive.But Zuofu is lucky, he sells the fish at a very low price, but earns more than anyone else, no wonder he can offer them such a high subsidy.

Just this Lord...

It's a gold swallowing beast!
Think about it again, Jiangdongmen's so-called greenhouse...

They felt that even if Zuofu went to be a farmer, he would be regarded as the top among the farmers.It is foreseeable that she will definitely promote greenhouse planting technology in Changzhou this year.These vegetables are worth a hundred times in winter!

Jiangdongmen has earned a lot of money by relying on this, and now the winter vegetables in the entire city of Nanjing are supplied by Jiangdongmen.For this reason, a few nobles who invaded Jiangdongmen's fertile land were unlucky. Not only were they forced to spit out the occupied land, but they were also ordered to reprimand by the emperor.

In the midwinter season, not to mention the honorable family, even in the palace, it is extremely precious.It is conceivable that Zuo Fu, who has completely controlled Wujin County, will bring much wealth once he develops the greenhouse winter vegetable planting technology here? !
Changzhou is not far from Songhu and Nanjing, even if it is by land, it is very fast.In winter, the preservation work is also easy to do, and she can sell these precious green leafy vegetables to Songhu and Nanjing.

In this way, she can make a lot of money again!

This guy……

Several technicians from the Ministry of Industry inspected for a few days and came to a conclusion: Zuo Fu can make money so much, not because of her business, but because of her good knowledge of things.

Sure enough, as she said, as long as you study Gewu thoroughly, can the Great Harmony described by the sage be realized?
With this in mind, several officials and the scholars who followed the visit calmed down and planned to go to study after the school was built.

The country gentry waited for a few days and finally saw Zuo Fu.The old man Zhang burst into tears when he saw Zuo Fu, sobbing and said: "I am old and timid, I regret not listening to the adults! My lord, my lord, you can save the old man! Now the members of my Zhang family But I can’t be spared, the elders of the clan have come forward, if I can’t ask for the god seed back, I will have to be served by the family law. My lord, you don’t remember the fault of a villain, please save me! Old man, I am dying , that family law can't bear it, my lord!"

Zuo Fu looked at the old man of the Zhang family who was in tears and snot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

I thought to myself: Old man, your acting skills are too bad, right?You are still dying... I think you can cry loudly, at least you can live another 20 years!

"Master Zhang, get up quickly."

Zuo Fu stepped forward to help the old man up, said: "You are willing to grow high-yield rice, I am too happy, how can I make things difficult for you?"

The eyes of the squires widened in an instant!
Zuo Fu didn't care about them? !

"The so-called people can be made, let them know; if you can't be made, you know it. You are worried, and you blame the official affairs for not doing well, and explaining to you is not clear enough, so why am I angry?"

"The people use it every day but don't know it. My lord, your sentence..."

"Snapped!"

The old man of the Zhang family clapped his skinny hands on the shoulder of the speaker, and the old man said with a sullen face: "How can a sage who said the words 'beyond self-cultivation, I am not without teaching; I will never tire of learning, never tire of teaching'" Is it possible to say something that the people can learn from, but not know?! If a sage wants to fool the people, how can he say that he recruits disciples widely and speaks words that teach people without discrimination?!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to Zuo Fu, "My lord's knowledge is admired by me. This kind of understanding is just in line with the way of a sage. Those rotten scholars, who only see trees but not forests, are really ignorant and hateful!"

Zuo Fu stared wide-eyed, looking at the old man in front of him, Zhou Shichang's face appeared in front of his eyes, and gradually overlapped with the old man of the Zhang family...

She shuddered.

Blinking again and again, he looked at the old man Zhang again, it was still the old man Zhang, but his expression was almost exactly the same as that of Zhou Shilang.

Looking left and right, apart from the wrinkles on the face, there are only four characters of integrity.

Can bend and stretch, this old man is even better than Zhou Shilang!

Resisting the urge to take off the shoehorn to scratch the old man's face, he coughed lightly and said, "Then potatoes, you can..."

"Yes, yes!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man of the Zhang family immediately nodded and said, "My lord, we are willing to plant potatoes and return them, as well as the divine seed that is estimated to weigh four thousand catties..."

He paused for a moment, then tentatively said: "Then can the fish cage be raised..."

"can."

Zuo Fudao: "However, fish farming in net cages has a certain impact on the environment, so how to do it and where to choose the site have to be designated by the government. In addition, we will check the water quality every year. If the water quality changes greatly, we have to change places to raise fish." , there is also a quota for the area of ​​the water area.”

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, you have to pay a sum of money to buy farming technology. Also, fish farming in net cages will affect the lives of nearby fishermen, so the water area has to pay rent."

"what?"

A squire exclaimed, "Is this also paying rent?"

Zuofu said coldly: "You have enclosed a piece of land, do you want to pay? You have set aside a piece of water to raise fish in net cages, has it affected others? Why don't you ask for rent?"

"Yes, yes, your lord is right."

The old man Zhang looked eagerly, "What should be given, what should be given. It is my lord, how much is the rent? How much will I pay for fish farming?"

Zuo Fu pursed his lips and smiled, "One mu of water area costs 20 taels of silver a year, and fish farming technology pays 5000 taels of silver at one time, which is the same price."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

How much is an acre of paddy field?20 taels for an acre of water? !Is it just rent? !Is this crazy about money? !
and also……

Although they have some money, yes, but this time they paid 5000 taels of silver...

This is too expensive, right? !
