Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 783 Pre-Order?

The Tang Dynasty officials on Wozhuzi Island were laughing, their hard work finally saw results.I think the results this time will be sent to Chang'an soon, and there will be rewards from Chang'an City to Wa Island.

Of course, the village heads and important people in the village who came to deliver the goods were happy.

A huge harvest, representing a life of abundance.

Soon, the official price list of Kumamoto city management officials used the seal, as witnesses, Dugu Lanruo used the seal, and several elders of the family also used the seal, on behalf of them to authenticate and acknowledge that the price list is valid.

"Ship..." There was a shout from the pier, and the dock workers rushed to start loading the cocoons one after another from the warehouse onto the trolley, and then onto the ship.Countless silk mills in Jiangnan are waiting for this batch of raw silk. When the raw silk arrives, it is the time when many newly built silk mills in Jiangnan start working at full capacity.

While the bales of raw silk were being loaded onto the ship, someone suddenly shouted: "Open the warehouse, I have received the reward..."

The large warehouse in Kumamoto has long been filled with countless materials shipped from Datang.

The villages on Chikushi Island are not very enthusiastic about coins. In their eyes, coins are piled up at home and feel valuable, but in fact they are useless.

In each village, except for the village public funds and the village head's family, ordinary Tang villagers don't need coins very much.

Coins did not even account for [-]% of the total payment.

A large amount of food, cloth, daily necessities, etc., are clearly marked on the price, saying that they are bought with coins, but the villages are all exchanged for the figure of the purchase price.

At this time, Liu Mu came to Dacang, and Li Daoyan walked with Liu Mu.

"Two things. The first one is to select the ten most outstanding villages in the villages of Chikushi Island and add a reward. Then, among the ten outstanding villages, one family can be recommended to become the new village head. I want to see someone within ten days."

Li Daoyan shouted from the side: "Have you heard it clearly? After you hear it clearly, you will hurry up and do it."

This is the benefit of high officials, they are only responsible for saying what they want, and then many people will do it.

After talking about this, Liu Mu came to the area where the nobles were resting. The nobles from the Tang Dynasty can basically represent [-]% of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty.

"Everyone, I heard that the raw silk in Jiangnan West Road has some minor problems."

Liu Mu also just found out about this news. He heard it from Li Daoyan. As the chief manager of Kumamoto, Li Daoyan not only wants to protect the safety of this place, but also cares about whether the raw silk of Zhuzi Island can make money, so he arranged for someone to keep an eye on Jiangnan at all times. The raw silk market in the area.

Xie’s family, Xie Yan, did not avoid this topic: “Silkworms are such a small thing that they can’t spin silk when the weather is too hot, but suddenly it’s cold again before they can spin silk, or they become stiff after a few mouthfuls. This affects the production greatly. big."

"The truth is correct, but the decline in the output of Jiangnan West Road has little to do with this. This cannot be just one-sided." Some people stood up and objected: "Silk workshops purchase a lot, and many places randomly increase silkworm houses. The silkworm houses built No, these are not real silkworm houses for warmth and ventilation.”

Liu Mu smiled and asked: "Man-made disaster?"

Xie Yan also nodded: "It's a man-made disaster. This time, the loss in Xiangzhou is particularly serious. The most helpless thing is that if the mulberry leaves are not enough, we will replace them with old and rotten leaves. To get the leaves, the mulberry trees are broken too much. This mulberry tree hurts Yes, there will definitely not be many leaves, and even autumn will be affected. Xiangzhou Yin has been questioned, and nearly forty officials are awaiting investigation."

"Stupid officials hurt people."

"Whose family is that official..."

A group of nobles cursed angrily. Although the people were hurt by this incident, all ethnic groups felt uncomfortable. The nobles of the Tang people were not cold-blooded vampires. They coexisted with the common people and tenant farmers.There is a relationship of prosperity and prosperity, and loss and loss.

Liu Mu interrupted the topic: "Uncles and grandpas."

What Liu Mu wants to mention is not this matter, but another matter: "I discussed with Director Li just now, and the cost of silkworm cocoons on Chikushi Island can already be calculated. So I have a little idea."

"Don't talk about ideas, just talk about decisions." Cui Yuan expressed on behalf of others.

"Okay, let's talk about the decision. On behalf of the general manager, I am going to start selling silkworm cocoons in summer."

Seeing the smile on Liu Mu's face, the nobles were puzzled.If someone else would say this, he would probably have spit on his face, the spring silkworms are still being harvested, and you are going to sell summer silkworms, so where are the silkworm cocoons?
In the Tang Dynasty, silkworms were harvested twice a year in the north, and three seasons in the south of the Yangtze River.

On Washima, an old silkworm farmer proposed to try four seasons, which is to add a season of late autumn from spring silkworms, summer silkworms, and autumn silkworms.It becomes two seasons of early autumn and late autumn, and the climate here can increase this season.

But to increase this season, what is needed is not silkworm paper, but mulberry trees. It was originally thought that Wozuku Zidao harvested two seasons of silkworms a year.

Increasing mulberry trees requires a lot of money.

Liu Mu said again: "Xia silkworm, 31 Wen per catty, now just come and pull the cocoon when you pay the money. And the contract allows transfer."

"How is this a transfer method?"

The nobles couldn't figure out what Liu Mu wanted to do.

Liu Mu said very directly: "To be honest, Kumamoto City has no money. It is definitely not enough to expand and develop by selling raw silk. To support the construction of the Thousand Islands Country and the Quanzhou Transshipment Department, the General Shipping Department has more places to spend money."

"Go on."

"Okay, since the elders are interested in listening, then I will talk about it."

Liu Mu sat down and said, "This is 31 Wen per catty. I paid the money first but didn't get the silkworm cocoon. I only got a contract. I said that the contract is allowed to be transferred. If you pay the money today, you will regret it a month later. Now, what about the batch of cocoons that you don’t want to pre-order?”

He didn't speak, but listened carefully to Liu Mu's talk.

Liu Mu smiled: "One month later, the contract in my hand will be sold for 32 Wen, will anyone buy it?"

"This one……"

Liu Mu's words caused the nobles to think and discuss. It seems that adding a penny is not too much, and someone will definitely buy it.

Liu Mu said again: "Then, someone discovered in Chikuzi Island that summer silkworms grow very well, and the mulberry forest grows gratifyingly. The old silk farmers can calculate the predicted grade of raw silk in a certain silkworm house based on various omens."

"Yes, the old man can too." Xie Yan stood up and supported Liu Mu's statement.

"Well, can this news increase the contract by two cents a catty? Our contract only talks about silkworm cocoons, which can be bought at the village bag, no matter what grade it is. So is this news worth the two cents increase? ?”

hiss……

It's a very interesting way of playing. Some people have realized that this is more interesting than selling raw silk. The goods are not even shipped, and what is sold is the contract.
