Chapter 487 Heaven on Earth For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been guarding more than a dozen acres of land at sunrise and resting at sunset, men and women weaving, passed down from generation to generation, and the small-scale peasant economy has long been deeply rooted in the soul of the Chinese people.Although Zhu Weiyuan is a princess, she is also an ordinary woman, as a princess of the Ming Dynasty, after she was born, she did not have to bear the heavy responsibility of marrying ministers or fanbang, but lived as an ordinary woman.Of course, the reason for this situation is Comrade Zhu's love for his daughter, and it is also the luck of Princess Daming.After coming to the family villa, Zhu Weiyuan's face has not broken the smile, here, it is like a mythical world, although some of the tenants are still wearing clothes with patches, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, looking at their faces full of oil, you know that they eat well, and their lives are good.In fact, it is the case that the Ming Dynasty is a paradise for capitalists, and the labor cost is extremely low, just like now, Zhu Weiyuan sees a duck farm.It is roughly estimated that there are fifty or sixty thousand ducks, but in fact, only seven households are responsible for managing these ducks, and this duck farm can bring Quanxu a full income of tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.And the cost paid by Quanxu is less than a hundred taels of silver.This is still the consequence of Quan Xu's deliberate increase in wages, otherwise, according to He Qiushan's meaning, each family is in charge of food and housing, and it can be passed with three or five taels of silver a year.The breeding industry does not employ too many people, and take the scientific breeding methods of later generations, these ducks come out to walk during the day, return to the duck house at night, and the duck eggs born will automatically roll down into the wooden trough, and a person pushes the flatbed cart and directly collects the duck eggs.Zhu Weiyuan asked with some doubts: "Since raising cattle, sheep, and pigs is so profitable, why don't other people breed?"
”When it comes to the economy, this is Quanxu's strong point.He smiled faintly: "Because of the cost, don't look at the cost of our poultry and livestock is not high, but the initial investment is not small, you also see, the chicken coop here is built with green bricks and gray tiles, better than ordinary people's houses, good ventilation, and fire wall, when it is cold in winter, you can light a fire in the fire wall, raise the temperature of the chicken coop, avoid chickens and ducks freezing to death, such a chicken coop, can breed tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of chickens and ducks, you need to invest thousands of taels of silver." ”"Even if ordinary people don't have money, but those landlords have money, they can also breed?"
Zhu Weiyuan looked at Quan Xu in confusion and asked, "There are so many nobles in the capital, it seems that they don't breed chickens and ducks like this?"
”"It's easy to say, but it's actually very complicated!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "Daming's economy is a small peasant economy, like large households, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, these poultry and livestock, they have their own, they don't need to buy, it's good to raise cattle, especially sheep, pigs, this kind of livestock, a large number of breeding, there is no market consumption at all."
Those restaurants and restaurants in the capital, they have their own farms, meat is too expensive, not everyone can afford to eat at all, the situation created is that the rich can eat, they have it, they don't need to buy, ordinary people don't have it, and they can't afford it!
”"Then last year, I earned more than 400,000 taels of silver here, what's going on?"
Zhu Weiyuan felt even more incredible."
Because, I have a sales market and channels!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "In the family villa, there are seven or eight thousand students, these children need to eat two eggs and one duck egg every day, and the whole family has five or six thousand carriages, these coachmen and servants are all hard work, and the wages I give them are also high, and they are willing to pay money to improve their lives, we have a canning farm, which can make canned chicken, duck and fish!"
”In addition, the whole family breeding industry, adopted the method of circular economy breeding, from the cost is cheaper than the chickens and ducks raised with grain, businessmen are profit-seeking, they find that they breed cattle and sheep and pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp and other things, there is no Quanxu sold cheaply, and gradually changed the way of purchasing.Generally speaking, Quanji's aquaculture industry wins by quantity, cultivates the market by itself, and slowly becomes the largest meat supplier around the capital."
It's not complicated, other big families can also learn this way?
Why don't they learn?
”"This is because of the system operated by the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Weiyuan frowned slightly, it was the first time she heard Quan Xu exploding foul language."
What does this have to do with the system?""
Of course it matters, those gentry will use their status to take advantage of it, ordinary people have no power and powerless, the richer they live, the more miserable they will be exploited!"
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "I am different from ordinary people, when the whole family villa was not developed, no one paid attention to it, when they found out, I was already the general soldier of Liaodong, holding tens of thousands of elite soldiers in my hands, and I was deeply favored by His Majesty, not to mention" Quan Xu did not say it explicitly, this is actually Cao Huachun's credit, because Quan Xu and him are allies with a certain relationship, Cao Gonggong's power is monstrous, naturally no one dares to risk offending Quan Xu and offending Cao Huachun, to forcibly take the whole family villa.Up to now, Quan Xu led the whole family army to defeat Jiannu, and became the Liaodong Economic Envoy, the Captain of the Horse, and the Prince Shaobao, and no one wants to offend Quan Xu, a real power faction.At the beginning, in the Quanjiazhuang Town of the Daimyo Mansion, there were not a few people who peeked into the Quanjiazhuang Town.The Ming Dynasty is now full of sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, and the wind of corruption has swept through all aspects of the aging empire, eating away at the foundations of the empire, and the last bit of execution power left in the empire has been used to loot the people's fat and ointment.Zhu Weiyuan didn't think about it so much, in her heart, she had grain, land, herds of chickens and ducks, herds of cattle and sheep, and countless money in the treasury, which was enough.After dinner, Zhu Weiyuan and Quan Xu began to walk in the villa.This can make Quan Xu more reassured, after all, the population of Quanjia Villa has been controlled, and you can go out, but not enter people.The people who came in were all the people who had suffered from the Jiannu military disaster, and some of the people returned to their homes after retreating with Jiannu, and the rest of the people stayed.Of course, the people who left immediately regretted it, because whether they were tenants, craftsmen, or nurses, all the children of the family villa could go to school in the primary school of the family villa, and not only did they not charge tuition fees, but they also took care of meals and distributed school uniforms.This makes many people jealous, but unfortunately, after they are gone, they will no longer enjoy this kind of treatment.The human nature of the Chinese is so strange, what they have and others have, they will not cherish, if they have it themselves, others do not, then, they will be very proud and cherish."
Meet Master Hou, meet Madame!"
Where Quan Xu and Zhu Weiyuan passed, everyone gave salutes one after another.Quan Xu asked the soldiers to bring some fruit candy and distribute it to those children, because there were too many children, there were only three or five pieces per person.Zhu Weiyuan looked at Quan Xu coaxing the child very happily, with a happy smile on her face, she stepped forward and asked, "The horse likes children very much?"
”"That's nature, the child is the future, and the child is hope!"
Zhu Weiyuan's face flushed slightly.Quan Xu saw this scene: "Or, let's have a baby!"
”Zhu Weiyuan's head almost hung down to her chest: "Donkey, how can you say this?"
"Understand, go back, let's have a baby!"
”"Ignore you!"
Zhu Weiyuan stomped her foot, turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the lower tower.Early the next morning, Quan Xu woke up the noise of the children, Zhu Weiyuan was also no longer in bed, and what this little princess was best at was getting up early.Unlike other places, the big mud lake is a wetland, it can be said that the land is very precious, Quanxu's courtyard, in fact, covers an area of only three or four acres of land, this is the smallest one of the courtyards built by Quanxu.Across the wall is the fifth primary school hall of the Family Villa.Quan Xu got up and went to the roof of the building to take a look, it turned out that the children were walking into the school one after another, and it seemed that they had started classes.However, instead of opening the book in the classroom and starting to read as expected, they put their bags in their seats and walked out of the classroom to line up.The area of the playground is not small, the children in the playground under the leadership of a teacher, began to practice boxing, six or seven hundred children dressed in neat school uniforms, began to box, those immature voices made a loud shout, at the same time advance and retreat, fists and feet at the same time, retracted, full of vitality.Smoke began to rise from the chimneys, and the farmers began their day's work with their farm tools, hoes, forks, axes, saws, etc.In this era, the common people had the cunning of the peasant, and instead of eating breakfast in their own homes, they went to the factory in advance, where there was a free breakfast.In fact, they also know that in fact there is no free breakfast, and the so-called free breakfast means that they have to work for an extra hour.However, these people did not care, but talked and laughed, and were very happy.The smell of food in the courtyard is getting stronger and stronger, Zhu Weiyuan is preparing breakfast for Quan Xu, she suddenly found that she seems to like it a little, it is really a strange place, clean and tidy, not to mention, but also full of vitality.Even more energetic than the capital, the people here seem to have inexhaustible energy, and they are doing their work in a very sharp contrast to the numbness and indifference in the capital, it seems that Quan Xu is casting magic, replacing everyone's souls, replacing them with his souls, and making them all become optimists.Zhu Weiyuan actually didn't know that this was not Quanxu's magic, but his money ability.There is no money, an ordinary worker in a farm, after a hard year, in addition to food, shelter, and clothing, there are more than a dozen taels of silver left, which is simply the biggest motivation for them.The standard of living here is good, three meals a day, one meal can be eaten with an open belly, the meals are much stronger than ordinary landlords, and the landlord Lao Cai can't eat eggs and drink milk every day, right?
However, they can.The people who live in the family villa feel like they are living in heaven.If they don't cherish this life, they will be damned!
