Chapter 409 My own business is my heart
Yan Yu is at war between heaven and man.
Just now, her father told her that the government will issue a series of measures to help the people survive this winter.
The construction of arrow towers in various townships is carried out simultaneously with the repair of houses damaged by Beirong in Huju City.
The official office will calculate once every three days, settle the remuneration, and set up a grain purchase point in the granary. The monthly limit is based on the number of people per household, based on the registered civil register that has just been counted by the household. It is also possible to buy all the shares at once, and buy them in batches also may.
During the settlement, the government will use two methods of payment, copper coins and grain purchase vouchers, and the common people can choose by themselves.
The advantage of choosing grain purchase coupons is that you can increase the share of grain purchases by 30% on the basis of each household’s original basis.
At that time, Yan Yu questioned that it was impossible to complete such a huge workload with the existing manpower in the government office.
It is quite simple to record the number of workers to the head every day, record the amount of materials in and out of inventory, etc.
The government office settles every three days. It’s okay if the copper coins are issued separately, but if you want to pay with vouchers, you need to implement the share of each household’s head. A sum should be recorded when the official office issues vouchers, and a sum should be recorded when the granary cancels the vouchers. Both sides cannot make mistakes, and timely reconciliation is required.
Not to mention the entry and exit accounts of grain inventory and the government’s series of purchases and expenditures for materials, grain, labor, and transportation…
You need to know that now you use abacus and pen to calculate, and you don’t know how many words you need to write for simple daily accounting.
There are only Uncle and Uncle Liang in the household, are they going to be exhausted to death?
Her father replied like this: “… those who can write and write in the territory of Huju will also be paid a wage, so that they can sit in the official office and earn money warmly, so as not to have things that cannot be carried on their shoulders or cannot be carried by their hands.” Scholar wasted time doing nothing at home.
Not only let them have work and reduce the pressure on the family, but also give them more. This is what your teacher mentioned. I hope that the people in Huju can truly feel the benefits of scholars and give birth to a desire to learn.
Your master is quite a hearty person, don’t look at the debts he owes now, since we have researched these methods, he has no worries, and he is planning for the future, saying that when life gets better, save some money, and live in the countryside. Open a school…”
Besides, Dad also said that the master has already negotiated with Xue Zongqi that the frontier army will regularly take the people into the mountains to hunt, and the prey will be shared equally, but the fur should be reserved for the people to keep warm.
It will also announce to the whole territory that this winter will be very cold, so people should store more charcoal and be careful about starting fires, and check the kang stoves at home to prevent the doors and windows from being blocked and inhaling charcoal poison.
Yan Yu saw business opportunities.
Huju’s official office has insufficient money, so they can’t take care of both, so they can only make a trade-off. Between eating and keeping warm, they prefer the former, but in fact, charcoal has a lot to do.
Take firewood as an example, a bundle of firewood can be sold for ten yuan in Yongning, but only eight yuan in Huju. If the market is not good, seven yuan is willing to sell.
On the one hand, because Yongning is a prefecture, the price of goods is higher than that of Huju, and on the other hand, because there are many mountains, forests, and wasteland in Huju, it is easier to collect firewood.
Based on eight renminbi, a bundle of firewood can earn two renminbi when transported to Yongning, ten bundles, one cart, how many carts?
Everyone knows that winter came early this year. People in Guanzhou also said that this year is a cold winter, which is very difficult. The demand for charcoal can be predicted to be huge…
For the charcoal business at home, she originally planned to find some uncles to help in the village, but now she thinks that the thinking is open and the pattern is open. Don’t just look at the one-acre three-point land in front of you, and have a wider vision. Take a look at the people in Huju. All potential suppliers!
And she happened to have a sum of money in her hand, probably, no, she should be able to support the stall.
But what about her shop, if the money is filled at one end, the other end will be lost.
…
On the second day, Yan’s second child and the teacher asked for leave, and went to Yongning with his daughter to look at the shop.
On the way, Yan Yu expressed her thoughts.
Yan Laoer said: “We two want to go together, I also think that the charcoal fire will rise, but your master still didn’t agree in the end, he said that if the government government comes forward to buy charcoal and firewood, one is that there is not enough money, and we are afraid that the turnover will not be able to be opened. Time is short on the food side, I am afraid that the people will panic, if the coupon cannot be implemented, the loss outweighs the gain.
Secondly, your master is afraid that the big guy will exchange all the firewood for copper coins in order to make money, and he is not willing to burn it at home. If someone freezes to death, the responsibility of the government will be great! “
“I don’t use the banner of the government, and I won’t charge too much. Maybe I will also make a quota, and I will take away when I collect enough every day. In this way, I don’t have to accumulate a lot of capital.”
“If you invest money here, you won’t be able to buy the shop.” Yan Laoer thought for a while and said, “Well, let’s visit the old customers and find out the market.”
After entering Yongning City, the father and daughter first went to find He Zhongren, then looked at a shop, and then went to the one that Yan Yushang came back to look at. The second Yan carefully looked inside and out, and asked : “He Zhongren, what is the real price of this shop?”
“The owner said, the price is not allowed, and he will pay for the cost of the contract.” He Zhongren also tried his best, but this shop is at this price, and he doesn’t spit it out.
“We have to go home and discuss it. After all, this is not a small amount. Tomorrow, whether you buy it or not, we will send you a letter.” Yan Lao Er said with a smile.
“It’s easy to talk about.” He Zhongren was amicable, and there were hundreds of taels of shops that he bought whenever he wanted to buy, and it was not uncommon for them to be closed after a few months or even half a year.
Buying and selling is not a matter of benevolence and righteousness. Judging by the behavior of this family, even if you don’t buy it now, you will have to buy property in Yongning City in the future.
…
Yan Yu originally wanted to rely on incense sticks to ease the pressure on money.
I don’t want reality to pour a basin of cold water on her.
Her square pancakes have been imitated, with something printed on them, even if the shape is similar, the price has dropped a bit, and there are a lot of pancakes on the market now, almost saturated.
As the weather turns cold, you don’t wash your hands so often. To put it bluntly, this thing is not a necessity, there are too many alternatives.
The good news is that there are a lot of people who want to buy charcoal, and they almost order from one store to another.
Yan Laoer is very smart, he reasoned that most of his own charcoal has already been ordered, and the rest is too much, but who told us that we are old friends, we have to squeeze out some, and wait until tomorrow Day to send Yun Yun.
He went to the gate of the city again to ask the price of a bundle of firewood, stood there for a while and watched the people selling goods, and then returned home with his daughter.
“How close are you to buying a shop?” Yan Laoer probably knew how much money his daughter had, thinking that if the daughter really wanted to buy it, he would give it to him.
Yan Yu sighed and said: “Father, mother, forget it, I don’t like cheap ones, if I like them, I will be empty, I really bought them for that shop, my hands are empty, I can’t do anything I want to do! I still concentrate Let’s engage in charcoal business, this is the basic business of our family.”
Winter is about to begin hehehe~
The typo will be corrected later, and the house will be closed for an hour~
