Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 218 Money is moving (Part [-])
This is a gathering of profit distribution, and Gao Wushi promised a dry share dividend of [-]% of the gross profit of the soap factory.

Among them, Cheng Guogong, Yingying Gong and Ding Guogong and Linhuaihou each hold 5.00% of the shares, Zhenyuanhou, Yangwuhou and Fengchenghou each hold 30.00% of the shares, Xiangcheng Bo and Ying Ying The two earls of the city are [-]% each, [-]% is taken up here, and the remaining [-]% is reserved for the time being, but Gao Wushi did not clearly indicate where it will be used, and the nobles did not ask too much. Just think in your heart.

At first glance, it seems that the share of each noble company is not much, but the ruthlessness lies in the fact that Gao Yushi gave a five-year "minimum insurance plan": Jinghua Soap Factory no matter whether it is profitable or not, and how much profit it makes, Dividends are distributed according to the minimum dividend guarantee amount of at least 10 taels of silver per year; if the profit exceeds 10 taels, dividends are distributed according to the actual profit.

That is to say, even if Gao Pragmatism loses money and becomes a fool himself, the amount of dividends he participates in every year is still 10 taels.Then, a 5.00% dividend is 5000 taels; a 2000% dividend is also [-] taels.

This is not the 10 taels or a million taels in some ignorant TV dramas in later generations. The prices in Daming are low enough at this time, and the salaries and rewards of officials in Daming are also astonishingly low. Even 2000 taels is definitely not a sum. Huge sums of neglect.

Prices have been explained before, so I won’t go into details here. Let’s take Qi Jiguang as an example and talk about the court rewards. Readers can compare by themselves:
In history, after Qi Jiguang went to the north, he achieved a great victory at Qingshankou, and Qi Jiguang received a report from the censor to ask for credit for the victory.

When he entered the right governor because of his old merits, the Ministry rewarded him with "30 taels of silver and two coats of silk".

After completing the construction of Hollow Enemy Tower 470, Tan Lun personally went up to ask for credit for Qi Jiguang. 20 taels".

In the sixth year of Longqing period, because of Qi Jiguang's shrewd management and good defense over the years, Ji Town was the quietest area in the Nine Borders. The governor of Shuntian at that time asked for credit for him, and the ministry replied "rewarding ten taels of silver according to the order".

In the first year of Wanli, Qi Jiguang reported victory in the battle of Zigu. Liu Yingjie, the governor of Jiliao at the time, personally acted for the meritorious service and praised Qi Jiguang, "Prime Minister Qi Mou has both civil and military resources, and he has a combination of talents and knowledge. Swear that everyone will donate their lives to serve the Lord, and their loyalty can be guaranteed." The sun shines in the sky; the army turns from weak to strong, and the training really moves ghosts and gods... He is a famous general in Zhengu, and he is worthy of the Great Wall of thousands of miles! The merits should be the first." The result is still the same sentence: "Admiral rewards 20 taels of silver, Fensi two exteriors and interiors".

Therefore, readers should have a clear judgment on what is the concept of 2000 taels and 5000 taels.Anyway, according to the average price at this time, a pig is about 1.5 taels of silver, even if it is only 2000 taels, it can buy more than 300 pigs; if it is flour, it can buy 120 tons of future generations, which is [-] Catty (modern city catty).

In Daming, where productivity is far inferior to that of modern society, this is really not a small number.

Whether it is the Duke of the State or the Marquis, not to mention the earls, although they have a high status, they can still eat some empty wages, and even drive military households to serve their own families, but they can't afford to spend a lot of money on the house. It's not something that can be ignored casually.

You know, in the home of the father-in-law Li Wei, because the house given was not good, the emperor waited until the inner treasury was more abundant before giving 100 taels of silver as a repair fee.

It is precisely because of this actual situation that sometimes Gao Pragmatism even feels that, except for some lands that are always harassed by nomads and disaster-stricken areas on the Nine Sides, the daily life pressure of most Ming people may be lighter than that of later generations— —Of course, if you insist on saying that they don’t have cars or electrical appliances, that’s a bit of an argument. After all, high pragmatism refers to the pressure of life.

Just imagine, if the people of later generations are like the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is more important to have more children, afraid that if they don't die, most people will be exhausted?But now, it is completely normal for a family to have five or six births, and it is not a problem to have more than a dozen, and the family can live on.Of course, it is definitely not enough in terms of education level, but it has something to do with the entire social system and atmosphere: people in the Ming Dynasty can almost only become officials by studying, and there are always a few people who study to become officials in later generations, right?Therefore, if the "students" who do not serve as officials are compared to the children of Ming people who learn crafts, the comparison is not so exaggerated.

All in all, Gao Pragmatism's wave of "giving up profits" can definitely be called sincere and sincere. It is real money and silver that was given out as a favor, and the nobles of the Zhu family can't help but appreciate it.

Of course, these nobles who have been in office for a long time are not children, and now they don’t dare to treat Gao Yushi as an ordinary child. Therefore, since Gao Yushi has paid benefits, he must exchange something. Just now, the honored nobles discussed at the gathering. In addition to share distribution, this is the main thing.

However, Gao Wushi's conditions were too simple, so that these nobles were a little confused, and even felt that he didn't need to raise them at all-Gao Wushi just hoped that they would replace all the cleaning things with soap at home, and the other things were banquets, After outings and dinners, wash your hands publicly and use soap, etc.

What kind of condition is this?The soap is so good, everyone tried it out for themselves just now, and they will definitely change it in the future. What is the difference between this condition and not mentioning it?
It is precisely because it is too simple, so the big guy analyzed it carefully for a long time, and felt that Gao Shi just made an excuse for reading this, and the real condition has not been raised yet?However, the reports of the children of each family are completely consistent, which is really such a condition.

In the end, money is still touching people's hearts. Since people don't mention conditions, then let's pretend that there is no such thing and pretend to be confused.Anyway, the news from the palace is also clear that His Majesty the Emperor has indeed accepted Gao Shidu's contribution, and also granted him the exclusive production of soap in the form of oral instructions, so what is there to doubt?

After the secret meeting, when the nobles sent back the news of accepting Gao Wushi's shares and agreeing to his exchange terms back to the Gaofu, Gao Wushi laughed.

Of course, nearly 10% of the dry shares of the soap factory is not a small number, and according to his estimate, [-] taels is a rather conservative estimate. After all, the daily consumption of soap is not small.

Although it will take some time for the market to be cultivated and rolled out, a trend is already brewing now, and Gao Yushi is not in a hurry to sell it. He will continue to accumulate this sense of anticipation. How could Luoyang Zhigui's atmosphere be worthy of his foreshadowing?
As for such a large profit, but such a low requirement, is it too much of a loss? This is a matter of different perceptions between the two parties.
