Villager of Daming

Chapter 1289: Understanding the Compensation for Being Tricked

Four families were arranged. The four families were relatives. Their children went to the beach to play. There happened to be big waves. A total of nine children aged between seven and eleven years old swam against the waves.

In fact, the purpose is to pick up things. Swimming is just a byproduct. You can only pick up good things after the big wind and waves.

When the children found such a large piece of ambergris, they turned around and ran home without picking up other things. Life was more important.

After the relatives discussed it, they decided to find a ship from the Ming navy, go to Xiaqiao Village in Yingtian Prefecture, and say it was for the prince. At least the prince would have to give some money, right?

So they went out to the seaside again to catch seafood, loaded up all kinds of things and waited at the dock. The returning boats would usually stop for a while to collect the things caught at the sea, so that the people on the seaside could have some income.

The four families took the opportunity to tell the captain of a large ship that they had good things to present to the prince.

The captain of the navy's large ship is at least a thousand-man commander. He dare not be negligent. He takes a look at the things and immediately brings the people on board. Understand!

After the ship started, he told the situation to several centurions. Everyone was very happy because they had money!

According to the rules, as long as someone finds something good on the beach and brings it back, the team will be rewarded with half of the money.

But if you swallow it, don't be discovered, otherwise everyone who knows about it will be killed and your family will be exiled.

If one wants to keep the ambergris for himself, he must kill all four families, including the elderly who stayed at home and did not come.

It is obviously not convenient to kill one person because he is already on board. The crew members have seen it. If you bribe the crew members, they will consider how much reward they will get after reporting it.

The rules proposed by Zhu Wentian, with severe punishment and high rewards, work together to make those who want to make mistakes find that the benefits are not proportional to the risks.

"Half the money was given to the navy, and all the money was given to the four families. Isn't that half the compensation?"

Gegehaji knows that the method of high punishment and high reward is good, but he thinks it loses money.

“The market price is different from the actual price. The market price of this kind of ambergris is actually too low because the price after making the incense cannot be sold too high.

We buy the goods based on the money for making incense. In fact, we would never use such good ambergris to make incense.

Part of it is kept as medicine, and part of it is used as a fixative. There is no need to worry about the ambergris evaporating, otherwise it cannot be used as a fixative.

You used to sell our ginseng to the Jurchens by the pound, but we actually sell it by the gram, which is..."

As Zhu Chong was talking, his face turned slightly red and he stopped talking.

Gegehaji: "..."

She blinked her big eyes a few times and was about to cry. She felt so wronged. It turned out... she had always been cheated and there had never been any fairness!

"Don't eat too much at night. After you eat, go in and take a look. There are wholesale and retail shops there. The profits will be used to build Chaotian Palace.

In the future, Gegehaji, you will arrange people to rent shops in the new commercial planning area.

I'll give you three options: the best location, tax breaks, or planning provided by Xiaqiu Village. You pick one."

The Crown Princess helped to change the subject and gave some benefits as a way of making up for the previous betrayal.

"I choose Xiaqiu Village." Gegehaji chose the last one without any hesitation.

Xiaqiu Village exists to make money for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, princes, princesses and others, which can heal the trauma of the soul.

Everyone ate a few snacks and finished them all when they were half full. Zhu Wentian had to eat some grilled skewers when he got home in the evening, but he had a big appetite and didn't feel comfortable eating more.

Everyone then went to the shopping area, where the clerks and shopkeepers were all very busy. This was the economic and political center of the Ming Dynasty, and with the convenience of water transportation, there was naturally a lot of business.

All shops have to go to the convenience area to list their products. If someone wants to buy something and see the actual product, they can come here.

Some people have a smaller demand, so they buy a little of each item and then sell it in other places. Just like some big supermarkets during Zhu Wentian’s time, people who watch over shops in remote areas go directly to big supermarkets to buy things and then go back to sell them at a higher price.

Because their demand is small, they cannot get a low price from distributors, and the prices they are offered are even higher than those sold in large supermarkets.

Some merchants do this. There may be a dozen or so people, all of whom are peddlers. They buy things together, then distribute the money to each person and sell them elsewhere.

They use their physical strength and time to make money, and although they cannot get rich, their income is several times higher than that of ordinary people.

The more stable the social environment is, the more money they make. They are not afraid of being robbed, and every little thing can make a profit. They make one dollar and spend a thousand dollars.

"It's prosperous, indeed. It's not like that in our place before."

Gege Haji felt the economic prosperity of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. She learned a lot of knowledge and now understood that she would not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty because the Ming Dynasty was rich and had an endless supply of logistical supplies.

She took a lot of photos and waited to have them developed to show her brothers.

In order to leave an impression and then wait for the court to arrange for her brothers to see it in person, she had seen it in advance and organized her words to persuade others to help the court sincerely.

She is the master behind the scenes, Donuraji.

……

The next day, Gegehaji was taken to see the poorhouse and the herbal medicine storehouse, and then transferred to the industrial area and the area where migrant workers live.

From morning till night, except for the crown prince, four princes and people from Xiaqiu Village accompanied him all the time.

Day after day, she took a boat to a place upstream, got off the boat, and took a train to the Ma'anshan coal mine and blast furnace group.

She was horrified to see the steel being transported out continuously.

I don't even have all the iron pots at my place, but they have piles of iron bars like mountains here. The key point is that they don't use these to fight hand-to-hand with me, but use copper bullets.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness." Gege Haji bowed to Zhu Chong and said, "I have nothing to repay you for..."

"I'll work like a slave in my next life!" The fifth brother Zhu Su suddenly replied.

"Don't run. I can't kick you to death. Stop right there. Wait, if you run faster, you..."

Zhu Chong chased while shouting, and Lao Wu ran as fast as he could, trying not to get caught.

Xu Da and others burst into laughter, and Gege Haji also covered his mouth and laughed. This Old Five was so funny.

She showed an envious look, thinking that the brothers had such a good relationship and didn't scheme against each other.

Along the way, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would talk from time to time about what their respective fiefdoms provided to other fiefdoms and what they needed.

This included each of their fiefdoms paying for the construction of the railway, and connecting them together. Everyone was of one mind, so they told the fifth brother to choose a place that was close to everyone, such as Kaifeng. They didn't want Haozhou because there were old people there who had fought with their father to conquer the world, and it would be difficult to manage.

If they continue to do this, it will be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be unstable. The original Northern Yuan Dynasty will not be able to come back because the three of them are right behind the front line.

They have soldiers and can develop the economy, providing military and logistical support there at all times.

Even if ten Wang Baobao formed a line to attack, they could not prevent the three princes from suddenly leading their troops forward.

Thinking so, she followed the team to stay at the Maanshan Iron Mine that day, and asked Ling'er to come out to take pictures in the evening.

"These small blast furnaces are no good. New blast furnaces are about to be put into use. The production capacity of one is equivalent to more than a hundred of these."

Ling'er pointed at the blast furnace group and introduced that after technical adjustments, the large blast furnace will be built!
