Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 512: King Yama on one side and God of Wealth on the other!
Henan
Zheng Hong already felt tired.

He never thought that building a farm would be such a difficult task. His temper exploded, and it was easy to have conflicts with people in the past.

There are [-] households, and almost every household has its own ideas.

After the fields are re-divided, some people are willing to join the farm.

But there are also people who are not willing to continue to join the farm, because they were deceived by Lin Feng before, and most of the people have an instinctive vigilance-the farm is probably not a good thing.

If this had changed from the past, Zheng Hong would have been one of the unscrupulous people one by one, and then ordered the yamen servants to teach these unscrupulous people a severe lesson.

They don't understand what the overall situation of the court is, and do they understand what it means to be good for you?
However, now Zheng Hong is very patient, going to the door one by one to talk and communicate with these farmers, and to communicate his inner thoughts with these people and farmers.

I still took out the examples from Shandong and introduced them to them one by one.

However, even so, the vast majority of farmers still maintain a skeptical attitude, and the number of people who are willing to rejoin the farm is still a small number.

Fortunately, Zhang Haogu gave them enough time to forbid them to forcefully merge the farms, everything depends on the voluntary of the people.

It's not asking you to build farms immediately, but to spend time and tell the people slowly, so that they are willing to accept this system of farms slowly.

Right now, it's all about taxes.

Fifty percent of the tax must be collected, and the grain will be sold directly to the imperial court. The imperial court has a special grain purchase department in the household department, so that the common people can reduce the exploitation of the merchants.

And for the common people, it was indeed stunned.

This Zheng Hong seems to be completely different from the previous group of dog officials. In the past, they all wanted to sell this grain to merchants. Naturally, they would inevitably be lowered by these merchants and exploited by merchants. together.

However, the grain is still directly handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court buys it.

Build a barn to store food.

The imperial court gave a minimum purchase price, which was not too high, but not too low, at least it could prevent some grain merchants from deliberately lowering prices to squeeze farmers like them.

As for, if there is excess grain in the family, it can be sold directly to the court, or if the family does not have the ability to store grain, it can also be sold directly to the court.

Money, of course, is not gold and silver, but Ming Dynasty banknotes.

Over the past few years, the Daming Banknotes have been disseminated on a certain scale, and are being used in many areas. Zhang Haogu is also very restrained and does not print and distribute them indiscriminately. He also mixes the Daming Banknotes with gold, silver, grain , the salt is bound together, so it naturally attracts a large number of people to use it.

Zheng Hong then set up a special farm society in the farm.

The main function of the agricultural cooperative is to purchase grain from the common people. At the same time, the agricultural cooperative also has another main function, which is to directly sell salt, grain, and various daily necessities to the common people.

Zhang Haogu is currently promoting the sun-dried salt method on a large scale, and then transports the salt to the most remote farms and farms through the channels of the imperial court. The price is very cheap, and has gradually replaced the original salt merchants. .

A farm cooperative needs at least two months’ worth of food, salt, old Shanxi vinegar, and some chili peppers.

If you join the farm, the price of these things will still be cheaper.

Encourage them to join the farm. After all, for farmers, the risks they face individually are still too great. Only by relying on collective strength can they not be squeezed by businessmen.

Although Zheng Hong's work is slow, it is not ineffective. There are still some farmers who are willing to join the agricultural cooperatives.

And at this time.

Zhou Jinyong still brought an assist.

Some merchants were quickly invited to Kaifeng Mansion. Zhou Jinyong didn't stay in Yongding County for nothing. When he was in Yongding County, he attached great importance to the relationship with merchants.

Although Emperor Taizu Gao felt that these merchants were not a thing, not engaged in production, but a group of second-hand dealers, but they could make money back and forth.

However, Zhou Jinyong is very clear that this group of businessmen is an indispensable group of people for social mobility.

Natai Kangbo Zhang Guoji is one of them, and now relying on Zhu Youxiao's loom, he is simply making money lying down. In addition, there is now a large glass production in the entire capital.

Zhou Jinyong called all the businessmen to Kaifeng Mansion.

What is there in Henan?Manpower!

Labor costs are very low.

Now the labor price of the entire capital has been greatly increased. In addition, the labor cost in Shandong is also gradually increasing. Now that the Henan New Deal, Zhou Jinyong directly called these businessmen over without saying a word.

"Come, come, everyone, take a look. Next, I will build a road in Henan. This road can go directly to Weihe River!"

Zhou Jinyong opened a map and introduced it in front of the group of businessmen: "The Wei River runs from Xinxiang, Hebi, Anyang, and Puyang, and receives Qi River and Anyang River along the way. It can flow through Linqing, Shandong, enter the South Canal, and reach Tianjin. Entering the Haihe River, you can even pass directly through the Sui and Tang Dynasty Grand Canals!"

"At that time, you can come to buy cotton and grain in Henan. What I mean today is that you should place an order first and order grain first. When the road is almost repaired next year, you can also buy it." Transport these agricultural products!"

"In addition to the production of cement, the imperial court also needs to purchase cement!"

Zhou Jinyong was not ambiguous at all, and directly stated his many plans. He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, it's not the first day you have dealt with me. In Yongding County, everyone has their own plans. Shop, now, I am in charge of Henan, one is to hope that Henan will be rich, and the other is to give everyone a chance to make a fortune, but you can't just make money, can you?"

Zhou Jinyong said slowly: "Investment is necessary. Henan is a major food province, and human resources are here. Everyone can do this business, or not. It is absolutely not required. The new government policy, as long as everyone is willing to pay taxes honestly , the imperial court will definitely not make things difficult, from the beginning, Ben Fu now really thinks that Henan is a big treasure house!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Jinyong continued: "Everyone, what do you think?"

It has to be said that Zhou Jinyong has accumulated a lot of reputation in Yongding County. It is easy to get in touch with a group of big businessmen in this place, and it is also easy to have dinner with them and drink tea to brag about them. It also allows Zhou Jinyong to grasp their needs in an instant.

Now the officials in Henan are cursing Zhou Jinyong as the King of Yama, but in Yongding County, in the eyes of these businessmen, Zhou Jinyong is clearly the God of Wealth wherever he is King of Yama.

Purchase grain in Henan, use the relatively cheap labor here to produce products, and sell them to the capital and Jiangnan. In short...it seems to be very profitable.
