Chapter 112 The end of the Ming Dynasty is a paradise for capitalists, and all the family soldiers look at the eggs, which are boiled with tea leaves and salt, which are also commonly known as tea eggs.Every soldier who received the egg was not willing to eat it, but held it very carefully.Quan Xu asked a little puzzled: "What, the eggs are not delicious?"
”Luo Shiming shook his head: "No, it's too expensive, and I'm reluctant to eat it!"
”"Is it expensive?"
Quanxu's eggs are purchased directly because of the canning field, and there is no middleman to make the difference, a box of forty-five catties, one hundred and thirty yuan per box, an average of less than three pieces, according to this kind of red-skinned eggs, nine pounds of calculation, an average egg is only three cents.In fact, Quan Xu is not very aware of the market at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the price fluctuations during the Chongzhen period, not a normal phenomenon, can not be measured, if compared with the Wanli years, the price of rice at that time was between four and five dollars of silver, a pound of eggs can be exchanged for three buckets of rice, according to the family eggs nine to twelve pounds, then an egg is equivalent to almost four pounds of rice.In later generations, eggs were cheap, mainly because people were all fine noodles, that is, they husked the wheat, and the wheat husk was the so-called wheat bran, which was very cheap.In ancient times, wheat and husks were ground together into flour and eaten together.There is so little food that even people can't eat enough, let alone chickens?
However, some of these family soldiers are really reluctant to eat eggs, but put them away, ready to leave them for their children or fathers, even Qi Yuanbi, he also ate one of the two eggs he put and left one for Qi Hu.After breakfast, the soldiers rested for more than half an hour, and began to continue cultivating the land at half past seven, and by half past twelve o'clock at noon, there were barely more than 10,000 mu, or four mu per capita per hour.Quan Xu knows very well that these family soldiers are also tired, and it is understandable.In the afternoon, the speed was further reduced, and the average person was three and a half acres of land per hour.In this way, Quanxu spent 19 working hours to complete the cultivation of 36,000 acres of land.Of course, after nineteen hours of high-intensity work in a row, his family soldiers were also tired.…… Gaojiazhuang, the home of Gao Million.Gao Million's father, when naming him, had very high expectations, hoping that he could become a millionaire.Of course, this million does not refer to a million taels of silver, but to a million dollars, which is about a thousand taels of silver.Such a family is already considered a small landowner.It's just a pity that Gao Million has worked hard all his life and survived four emperors, not to mention a million dollars, he doesn't even have 10,000 dollars.However, due to his age and his ability to act, he became a well-known and respected person in ten miles and eight villages.This time, when Quanxu bought the land they were renting and no longer rented them for farming, they all panicked, and only Gao Million was not in a hurry.Gao Million is very confident, he thinks that Quan Xu will eventually agree to rent the land to them, he knows these landlords too well, and he can't ask for a few more rents and force them to raise the rent.The problem, however, can no longer be mentioned.The rent of six buckets is already very high, and if God does not reward them, these tenants will not only work in vain, but also bear heavy rent arrears.In the end, I had to sell my sons and daughters.The two sides were at a stalemate for a few days, and Quan Xu was like a person who had nothing to do, since he was unwilling to work for him, he didn't care, but ran around with his family every day like he was full.Half a month has passed since the spring ploughing, and most of the landlords or farmers have already begun to do it, and they have already done a lot of fields with fast movements.These bottomless tenants began to get anxious, and they made an appointment to come to the homes of Gao Millions to discuss countermeasures.There are more than a dozen clan elders, and they are nearly 1,000 years old.However, in comparison, none of them are as old as the millions."
Elder Gao, you say, what should we do?""
This barbarian surnamed Quan is different from us, it won't be a cave master, with thousands and hundreds of parts behind him!"
Gao Million raised his eyebrows: "These days, I have let Xiao Liu keep an eye on the outside of the Quan's compound, if it is really the Southern Barbarian who comes, we must know the letter, don't worry, he is the one......
Void ......
Bravado!
”"But ......"
"But what?""
Xiao Zhang, let me ask, have I ever cheated you?""
Nope!""
That's it!"
Gao Million said proudly: "We are like that businessman now, whoever can't save his anger first, who will lose a lot, the old Lu family asked us to collect five and a half grains, and we gave him six buckets, he didn't want to, this appetite is too big!"
”"If you can rent a good field, six buckets will be six buckets!""
That's it, if you want to collect seven buckets, let's all drink the northwest wind!"
At this moment, a panicked footsteps sounded.I saw a cloth dressed in tatters, as if running over like a gust of wind."
Third grandfather, out, something's wrong!""
What's wrong, speak slowly!"
Gao Million looked at Gao Liuzi and said, "Drink a bowl of water and speak slowly!"
”"That'......
That one......
The one with the surname Quan has ploughed all the land and planted it!
”"What?"
Gao Million's face sank: "More than 30,000 acres of land, all planted?"
”"Yes!""
How is this possible?""
Otherwise, you guys will go and have a look!"
When Quan Xu was plowing the land normally, he asked the soldiers to patrol along the field path, and outsiders didn't want to get close, until Quan Xu spent a day and a night to plow all the more than 36,000 acres of land, and the soil has not completely dried up, and the farming is okay.Quan Xu directly planted the wheat, so he didn't plant potatoes and sweet potatoes here, Quan Xu was afraid that these tenants would steal it.It's too easy to steal sweet potatoes, or potatoes.When a person crawls into the ground and covers the sweet potato seedlings on his body, even if he walks in front of him, he can't find it.When he was a child, Lao Cheng did this.Therefore, Quanxu planted wheat on more than 36,000 acres of land near Gaogang and in Linzhang County.When the wheat is ripe, it is a big deal to step up patrols.It wasn't until these fields were fertilized and drought-resistant and lodging-resistant irons were planted that Quan Xu withdrew the patrolling soldiers.However, before leaving, a sign was inserted on the edge of the ground: "This place has been sown, it is forbidden to trample on it, and violators will bear the consequences!"
”When Gao Million and more than a dozen village elders, clan elders, and dozens of people from Gaojiazhuang came to the edge of the field, they looked at the wet soil that had been turned over, dumbfounded."
How is this done?""
Planted, is this possible?"
Gao Million was a little unwilling, he walked to the soft ground, stretched out his hand to dig up the floating soil on it, and looked at the wheat grains in the soil, Gao Million couldn't calm down anymore.Because of his insistence, nearly 25,600 people from more than a dozen villages around him did not apply for Quanxu to recruit workers.Now, Quan Xu didn't use them, and he had planted the land unconsciously.What will they do in the future?
Lao Zhangtou stepped forward and grabbed Gao Million's collar frantically: "Old Gaotou, you say, what should I do now?"
”They are all tenants, they are all poor, and although they have not yet reached the point of starving food, they do not have much food in stock.Even if there is some grain stockpiled, it is useless, and if the land is not rented this year, no matter how much grain there is, it will be empty.The scene got out of control in an instant, and everyone tore up.…… Quan Xu didn't know about these bad things that happened in Gaojiazhuang.At this time, Quan Xu was also very hard, he began to pour diesel, he had already figured out the details and secrets of this time and space travel, and what was consumed was his nutrition.That is, his body energy, with each crossing, he will increase a lot of hunger, and the more supplies he transports, the greater the energy consumed.With glucose and saline in his pocket, he can ensure that he will not fall into a coma and will not feel prostration.During this time, Quan Xu was not idle, while pouring cement, while collecting the technical process of cement processing equipment.When these equipment arrives, Quanxu will be able to produce cement at the end of the Ming Dynasty.There is no way to make steel, because the price of iron in the Ming Dynasty was expensive, a pound of iron cost a hundred yuan, that is, a penny of silver, and a ton of pig iron was two hundred taels of silver.If it's steel, then the price will be doubled.Quan Xu didn't have the heart to dump steel, because the demand for steel was large, either a thief like Gao Yingxiang, or a Houjin outside the border, even if he made money, Quan Xu was not willing to do it.Fortunately, although Quan Xu eats a lot, he has not gained weight, which is a good thing.Eight tons of diesel sounds like a lot, spread over 500 creepers, each weighing only 16 kilograms.Eighteen horsepower air-cooled diesel one hour full load, fuel consumption is 3.26 kilograms, that is to say, the oil in the fuel tank plus eight tons of oil truck, in fact, can only be completed in eight hours, Quanxu ploughs 36,000 acres of land, fuel consumption is as much as more than 30 tons.In order to facilitate the round-trip transportation, Quanxu decided to buy a second-hand fuel truck again.What makes Quanxu speechless the most is that his black oil channel, because of the large shipment, fast, and fast payment collection, there is no need to buy a second-hand fuel truck, and the oil factory directly sent a fuel truck to Quanxu.Although the eight-ton fuel truck is not expensive, less than 40,000 yuan, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.In fact, the oil in the oil mill is all unplanned oil, and the quality of the oil is the same as that of the gas station, but it is sold without entering the public account, and the sold oil goes into the pockets of private individuals.With more than 30 tons of shipments a day, the oil mill speculated that Quanxu should have found a lot of shipping channels, and Quanxu helped the oil mill sell diesel, which was obviously a big source of customers in the oil mill.Quan Xu also saved trouble, two fuel trucks, driving in turns, filling up the fuel, directly into the sports factory, and were moved to the end of the Ming Dynasty by Quan Xu.Then, Quan Xu drove back to the oil factory to refuel in an empty car, and the round trip took less than an hour.Continuous high-intensity labor, the family soldiers have nothing, who let Quan Xu's training of the family soldiers is at the level of special forces, and their physical fitness is really good.Let Quan Xu work sixteen hours a day, even if he is paid overtime, Quan Xu will be angry and scold his mother.However, his family soldiers operate creepers to work, sixteen hours a day, and only need to add two tea eggs to each meal.Quan Xu couldn't help but sigh: "The end of the Ming Dynasty is really a paradise for capitalists!"
