Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 235

In the golden autumn season, Taigong Hu rode back to Dulonggang.

As soon as I entered Dulonggang, I saw the grain being harvested in the valley.

Since Sun Xin came to Dengzhou, he has unknowingly brought a lot of changes to the world. Now Taigong Hu and his Dulonggang have basically replaced Sun Xin's fine seeds, and the yield per mu has reached more than two stones, which is more than one stone per mu. times.

Although Hu Taigong did not have such a high grain collection efficiency as Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee, the increase in grain production also benefited the three Zhuangzi on Dulonggang.

Hu Taigong’s Hujiazhuang originally had an annual yield of more than 1000 acres, but now it has gradually approached more than 2000. In addition to co-running Sun Ji’s business with Sun Xin, now Hu Cheng of Hujiazhuang has annual income of [-] yuan. The money in and out is always two to three thousand guan, which is doubled compared to the original, and the whole Zhuangzi also presents a prosperous and happy scene.

After Hu Taigong returned to Zhuangzi, he immediately called Hu Cheng and Hu Cai and asked them to go to Zhujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang to invite people respectively. Hearing that Hu Taigong came back from Zengtou City, the two families were also eager to get to know the news from him, and soon Zhujiazhuang wished Li Ying from Chaofeng and Lijiazhuang all came.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Hu Taigong Da Ma Jindao sitting near the head seat, looking at them with playful eyes, Li Ying and Zhu Chaofeng looked at each other, feeling a little bit unkind in their hearts.

After saying hello to Taigong Hu, they each took their seats, and Hu Cheng was also called to sit in the next seat.

Taigong Hu waited for them all to sit down, then smiled and looked at the three people facing him, and said, "This time I went to Zengtou City, I really saw the world. Before, you only said that Sun Xin co-organized with us the processing of medicinal materials on Dulonggang. Even if the factory is making a lot of money every day, you don’t know how big the factory jointly run by Sun Xin and Zengtou City is now.”

Hu Taigong raised his palm and said, "5000 people! There are [-] workers in that factory alone."

The three of them were very surprised when they heard this number, Zhu Chaofeng said first: "Five thousand? This is more than the dealers we can pull out to fight in Dulonggang. Where do they have so many people?"

Li Ying thought for a while and then smiled: "I'm afraid they are all the wives and old ladies of the farmers, just like the medicinal workshops in our village."

Thinking that both men and women can work in Sun Xin's factory, Zhu Chaofeng realized when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes."

Although they can understand where the number of people came from, the two are still very surprised. Even if all the mothers-in-law of the dealers are pulled to work, it is unimaginable for them to gather 5000 people in a large factory. Together, how can these foolish couples work honestly?
Although they are big landlords, in fact, the farmers under them are all renters. The largest number of people they have managed are mainly the farmers who have been trained by three or four thousand farmers. Those who honestly picked up guns and sticks to train, if they want to organize these people to work in an orderly manner, it is beyond their ability to manage the organization.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Hu Taigong nodded secretly in his heart, and it would be easy to say what he said later based on his surprise.

He thought for a while and said: "I saw that they have made such a big business. According to Sun Xin, the hemp yarn factory can produce 600 million catties of hemp yarn a year. Even if a catty is only paid for a few pennies." Selling, this is also a big business of tens of thousands of taels. When I saw his workshop, it was like making money. Why didn't I think about our Dulonggang thing in my heart, so I asked Sun Xin and Lao Zhang to buy a share. When we go back to Dulonggang, the three of us will also get a share."

Hearing what he said, the three of them, who were originally full of excited expressions, were taken aback at the same time, but then they all started to care about it in an instant.

"How much silver taels do you want for one share?" Seeing Li Ying and Zhu Chaofeng both showing embarrassed expressions, it was Hu Cheng who asked the question first.

Although Taigong Hu is his father, the management of Hujiazhuang has fallen on him now, even if it is a family, he has to make it clear that Taigong Hu's men don't have much money to manage.

Hu Taigong said: "Sun Xin invested 1 taels and there are many workers. He paid for the main factory buildings and machines, so the amount of 8000 taels is not accurate, and he also paid for the technology. Labor money. Zengtou City invested about [-] to [-] taels, so in the end they paid [-] taels for our share.”

In fact, the price of 8000 taels was given by Sun Xin considering that Hu Taigong and his Dulonggang did not have much cash, and it was already very favorable.

It was Sun Xin's long-established strategy to let Dulonggang, Zengtou City and Sunjiazhuang jointly set up a factory. Even if he suffers a little money, he must use this factory to hold back the power of the entire Dulonggang.

But even with such a discounted number, Taigong Hu saw the three people in front of him showing embarrassing expressions at the same time when he heard the number.

Li Ying rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Old man, it's not that I'm stingy with money, it's just that our village has already established a pharmaceutical factory with Sun Xin and invested thousands of dollars in it. And I want my Zhuangzi to offer these thousands of taels of silver, and there is a lack of acceptance for a while, so I really can't invest in it."

Hu Taigong felt a little uncomfortable at that time, he was a straightforward person, especially since Li Ying was a generation younger than him, he said directly: "I can't vote? My nephew, don't joke, I don't know your Zhuangzi for a year." How promising is it? The pharmaceutical factory you co-founded with Sun Ji relies on your farm, so you have contributed the most money, but don’t you also get the most shares in your farm? It made up half of your investment, and when the medicinal materials are released in the new year, you will earn all your money back."

"I know that you are afraid that the hemp yarn factory will not make money after it is invested, and you will not be able to get back the shares if it is not under your control, but now that Sun Xin has spoken, Sun Xin's eyes are not on his big business of thousands of dollars this year. In a blink of an eye, he sent it to us to do it, and even if he used the money earned from the pharmaceutical factory to return it to him, it would be enough to equalize the investment in the hemp yarn factory. At last, he accepted his affection, right? It's because of this loyalty Isn’t it worth investing this money in? It’s not like you are there when you earn money, but you are gone when you want to pay money?”

Li Ying was a little embarrassed by what he said, but he bit the bullet and just smiled without expressing his opinion at all. Taigong Hu took a breath and looked at Hu Cheng and Zhu Chaofeng who were beside him.

He couldn't speak to Zhu Chaofeng directly, so he gave Hu Cheng a stare.

Hu Cheng is also unwilling. This year, the income of Hujiazhuang is actually close to 3000 taels. After hoarding in the past two years, the wealth in the village is quite a lot now.

But as a landlord family, he subconsciously didn't want to put money into risky business fields. Hu Cheng thought to himself that he would take the money to buy more land in other counties and cities after the chaos in Shandong ended. But since his father insisted on the request, Hu Cheng could only bite the bullet and said, "In this case, let's invest 500 taels in Hu's family village first."
