Chapter 91 A woman's money is actually better to earn "Dongsheng, slow down on the road!"
”Lu Xiangsheng went out very rarely to see Quan Xu away.Lu Xiangsheng sent Quan Xu out, but it was really not because of his noble status, but because Quan Xu was willing to do practical things for the people, this kind of seed that can increase the yield per mu, not to mention one and a half catties, even if it is one for three or four catties, it is not excessive.If he can really collect an extra bucket per mu, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely go to Emperor Chongzhen and ask for merit for him.Lu Xiangsheng had never seen or heard of this kind of wheat with full grains, and he didn't believe that it was a so-called foreign purchase.From the first time Quan Xu saw himself, Lu Xiangsheng found that Quan Xu was approaching him intentionally and purposefully.The prefect of the Ming Dynasty is actually not valuable, there are one hundred and forty states in the country, one hundred and ninety-three states, but the problem is that Quanxu has good things, well-made cotton clothes, and rice with full grains.As a native of Jiangxi, will Lu Xiangsheng be unfamiliar with rice?
The answer is yes.Even in the best high-quality fields in Jiangnan, the rice produced is as half-shriveled, and it is never as full as the rice sent by Quanxu.In Lu Xiangsheng, this Quan Xu from Huguang should be a farmer who wants to promote his own grain varieties, of course, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.Quan Xu waved his hand towards Lu Xiangsheng in a daze: "Lord Lu stays, Dongsheng will go back first!"
”Jeon Wook boarded the carriage and began to look proud.Quan Xu finished lunch in Lu Xiangsheng's mansion, it was very simple, four dishes and two soups, two meat and two vegetables, vegetables and meat, it was not rich, it could only be regarded as a light meal.Quan Xu was in a good mood, he reached an agreement with Lu Xiangsheng on two thousand stone seeds for grain, which was equivalent to him earning another thousand stone of grain.For Quan Xu, the quality of the food has little impact on him, anyway, it is eaten by the people in the village.An extra 1,000 stone is equivalent to allowing the farmers to eat an extra 1,000 stone.Quan Xu also pushed the chalk out by the way, but it's a pity that the technical difficulty of chalk and blackboard is too low, and the craftsmen who completely did it in the late Ming Dynasty just didn't think of this aspect.Just like Sun Simiao, the inventor of black powder, he recorded in the "Danjing Inner Sulfur Method" that he made powder with two taels of saltpeter and two taels of sulfur, added three soaphorns, and burned them together.When the combustion is completed, take three catties of charcoal to fry, and take out the medicine produced after alchemy when the annealing is not cooled.This mixture of drugs will no longer produce an explosion and burn, which means that the fire has been subdued.However, in fact this is the prototype of gunpowder, but the recipe is wrong.Gunpowder was originally only used to support combustion, and it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the original assault rifle was formed.Lime was used in China as early as the seventh century B.C., but in addition to being used as a building material, it was also used for medicinal purposes, and the function of chalk did not slowly begin to be used until the nineteenth century.When Quan Xu left Lu Xiangsheng's mansion, Lu Xiangsheng personally sent Quan Xu away, this trivial matter fell in the eyes of the gentry of the Daimyo's mansion, and Quan Xu's identity was even more incomprehensible.When Liu Rong received the news, he was drinking flower wine with Gu Shundong in the Goolan Courtyard."
Brother Gu, what do you think?""
Cross the river dragon, I'm afraid it's not good!"
Liu Rong's face was a little solemn: "What can we do?"
He has the support of Zhao Wangfu and Lu Xiangsheng to take care of him, do you have a way?
”"There's really no way, I can only take one step at a time, I hope his appetite isn't so big!"
Gu Shundong approached Liu Rong: "Why don't we take a trip?"
”"It's better to invite Fat Chen to drink a meal of flower wine, as long as you ......"
"So it's the best!"
…… When Quan Xu returned to the Quan's compound from the Daimyofu City, Sanniang hurriedly greeted him: "Xianggong, you're tired!"
”Jeon Wook nodded.It is also true that a round trip of 120 miles would take an hour to drive in the later life, but it took him a full five or six hours.This is not the key, the key is the carriage of this era, the shock absorption effect is really poor.Quan Xu secretly made up his mind that he must let his props factory build a carriage with a simple and beautiful appearance, luxurious decoration and excellent shock absorption effect."
I'm a little tired, I want to lie down!""
Let's eat first!""
It's good!"
Quan Xu often eats alone and lives alone in later generations, and now that Sanniang and Xin Yuan are by his side, his mood is much better.Wash up briefly and start eating.At this moment, Xin Yuan suddenly said: "By the way, Xianggong, I forgot to tell you that there are many people coming to visit you today!"
”"Who are they?"
Xin Yuan took out a copy of the name thorn from the drawer of the desk, and saw that Lu Yuanzhong, Fu Yongxin, and Lei Mingwei were written on it......
"Where are their people?"
”"Steward Luo invited them to the antechamber of the front yard!""
Peach Fairy!""
The slave is here!""
You go and tell Steward Yuan, let him meet these people and probe their mouths!""
Yes!""
Don't be stunned, let's eat!"
Quan Xu enjoyed this feeling very much, Sanniang and Erniang (Xin Yuan later changed to Erniang) served him vegetables on the right and left, he only needed to open his mouth, this kind of day was too comfortable.At the end of a unique and somewhat fragrant dinner, Quan Xu lay comfortably on the sofa.Erniang said: "Xianggong, are you tired?"
Why don't I give you a button?
”"Okay!"
Erniang walked behind Quan Xu, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently pressed them on Quan Xu's shoulder.One word, cool!
Quan Xu pondered, should I get a foot massage bed in the future?
At this moment, Yuan Shiqing's voice came from outside the door: "Master, master, ......"
Quan Xu was faintly displeased: "What's wrong!"
”Yuan Shiqing said excitedly: "They have the title deed and are willing to sell the land to the whole master!"
”"How much?""
Eight taels of silver per mu, regardless of the upper field, middle field and lower field, all eight taels!"
Quan Xu naturally understands that this is a courtship to the gentry of the great novices, according to the market price of inferior fields of eight taels per mu, ten taels per mu of Zhongtian, and twelve taels per mu of Shangtian, although there are not many fields on these lands, and Zhongtian is only less than one-third, however, this is a concession of more than 200,000 taels of silver."
Promise them!""
We don't have that much money in our house!"
Yuan Shiqing roughly calculated that the more than 130,000 acres of land required a total of more than 1.2 million taels of silver, far beyond Quanxu's ability to pay.Originally, Quan Xu wanted to buy silver from the future generations and buy the land, but who knew that Chen Ying was too capable and moved more than a dozen gentry.Even if an acre of land at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not expensive to convert into industrial silver for later generations, the key is that it can't hold up the large amount.Five pieces of three grams of silver, one tael of silver is equivalent to 196 pieces of one, one acre of lower field, only 1568, even if it is Nakata, that is, 1961, as for Ueda, it is only 2353.However, 10,000 mu is more than 20 million, and 103,000 mu means that two or three hundred million are needed.Quanxu really doesn't have the purchasing power now, not to mention that the oil production equipment has to be invested in tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which is much more difficult than buying food.Quan Xu thought for a while and said: "I'll find a way to deal with the silver, tell them that within half a month, within a month, it can be delivered!"
”Yuan Shiqing left, and Sanniang looked at Quan Xu excitedly: "Xianggong, you want to buy it......
Buy...... 10......""
More than 130,000 acres of land!
”"How much does this cost?""
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
More than a million taels!"
Erniang thought for a while and said: "The silver in the treasury is less than 480,000, and it is still more than half!"
”Quan Xu began to worry at this time.The landlord's family also had no surplus grain, and although the gold of the Ming Dynasty was generally exchanged for silver, it was generally eight to ten taels of silver, and it was completely possible to earn the difference by reselling silver.But the problem is that the amount of gold in the Ming Dynasty was far less than that of silver.Not counting the locally produced silver, the inflow of silver from the West alone is as much as three or four hundred million taels, and there is no shortage of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and all the major wealthy families have a large amount of silver.However, there is very little gold.Just like the silver and other property seized from Jiming Village had more than 300,000 taels, and the total of gold plus jewelry was less than 4,000 taels.Money......
"There is!"
”Quan Xu looked at the peach fairy at the door and said, "Tao Xian, let Hongchen and the Cao family come to see me!"
”"Yes!"
It didn't take long for Cao and Hongchen to come to Quanxu's main house together."
Master......"
"Owner!""
Do it!"
Quan Xu looked at Cao, who was in charge of the decoration, and said, "How is the decoration of the women's square?"
”"This, it will take another month at the earliest!"
Cao stepped forward and said: "Now for the New Year, it's hard to find craftsmen!"
”"Add money, I'll pay twice the salary, but if I can't do it, I'll triple it!"
Quan Xu pointed at Cao's and said, "I need half a month to complete the renovation of the women's shop, and it is best to let me open on the 16th!"
”"This ......"
"There will be a brave man under the heavy reward!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "You only need to tell those craftsmen that the construction period is half a month, and the task is completed with quality and quantity, and every day in advance, I will reward them with one bucket of rice each, and two buckets of rice two days in advance!"
”"Yes~!"
Quan Xu stared at Cao Shi and said, "You were in charge of managing Goolan (referring to brothels) before. ”"Do you have any girls under your hands now?"
Cao Shi nodded: "There are only a few chicks, and they still need to be trained for a few years!"
”"Well, go and recruit thirty more women, between the ages of fourteen and sixteen!"
Cao said: "Master Quan, you don't need to recruit, it's better to recruit than to buy, buy thirty girls, it won't cost five hundred taels of silver!"
”"Then buy it, buy fifty people!"
Quan Xu said: "I don't do the skin and meat business, after I buy it, you are responsible for training them and training them all into everyone's ladies!"
”Thinking of this, Quan Xu took out a note from his pocket, and then wrote down the words "Spend a thousand taels of silver" and teach it to Cao."
Go and ask Mr.
Zhou to withdraw money!""
Yes!"
Quanxu's current financial management is divided into three parts, Mr.
Zhou is responsible for managing the accounts, but he does not have the key to the silver vault, and Sanniang holds the key to the silver treasury, but is not responsible for the accounting.And people like Yuan Shiqing, Luo Shiming, and Chen Ying do not have the authority to directly withdraw money.The final authority is in the hands of Quan Xu alone.It is not easy to find a fat sheep like Zhou Chu, a forest leopard, Quan Xu still needs to hold on, and the only way at present is to earn a woman's money quickly.
