Villager of Daming

Chapter 1301: Rules for Investment and Reserves

"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He accidentally exerted force with his hand, and the juice from the tomato he had bitten flowed down through his fingers.

The headman took another bite of tomato and nodded to show that he was serious about this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate the tomato in his hand as quickly as possible, and wiped his hands on his white apron naturally: "That's right, simple people look... uh... quite good, honest, simple, strong, and can have children in the future..."

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’m sure you’ll be smart. After a few years, we can find new people to guard the village, or maybe there won’t be any need for them by then.

A portion of the orphanage can be allocated, and all children who are eligible to become village defenders can move in, with Xiaqiu Village paying part of the money.

Or...like water-powered weaving, everyone can share the profits.

Xiaqiu Village provides technology and people to set up a factory or something, and others can invest money, and when they make a profit, they can share the profits with everyone in proportion.”

The village head briefly explained the future arrangements for the village guards. He planned to build an orphanage and then set up a fund, which would be used to purchase financial products such as government bonds, stocks, and options.

After receiving the dividends, they will be used on the children. Hanhan will provide the specific rules.

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his hands carefully again and said, "Like us? We own 80% of all the business in the village. Do you want to kick us aside?"

"There may be hundreds of such factories. Your Majesty can't participate in all of them, right?

It is risky. If you make money, you will get dividends, but if you lose, you will lose even your capital. You must choose good stocks.

Others are also allowed to set up the same factory, but they must first pass the assessment, which is stricter and the supervision is stricter. "

The head of the village waved his hands, how dare you kick the emperor! This is a business in the palace, you can't participate in it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with an expression that said, "I don't believe any of your pauses when you speak." He said, "I don't believe that the business in Xiaqiu Village can be lost.

It's just money! We pay, we still get 80%, the village gets 10%, and the rest is shared among others.

We don’t ask for much, just three to five times the interest rate of the bank deposit.”

"Your Majesty, how about you take a look after all the rules are sorted out?

Our Ming Dynasty has developed well and is able to convert from physical collateral currency to credit currency.

The central bank controlled by the imperial court issues currency anchored to productivity.

How much stuff is produced and how much currency is issued involves material consumption. The food that is grown is eaten, but the currency that is issued is still there.

Then we can adopt the method of currency withdrawal or reduce the proportion of currency issuance to prevent the currency from depreciating.

As long as we can ensure that our military strength is strong enough, our production technology is leading, and our productivity increases rapidly, we can make other places outside of the Ming Dynasty recognize the Ming Dynasty's credit currency.

Therefore, economic activities cannot always be intervened by the palace; they are the affairs of the court and are under the jurisdiction of the state administration. "

The village head first described what would happen next to Zhu Yuanzhang, emphasizing that the palace should not interfere in anything.

"Whatever you say, it is! When will Ling'er's family change their surname?"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the general idea and recalled some of the contents in the book given to him, but found that he still had a headache. That thing was too damn difficult to learn.

"No rush. It will be after the New Year anyway. Let's all worship our ancestors first, and then make the arrangements. It will take a few days, and then your majesty will help after the wedding."

The village head just wanted to go through the formalities, but now it’s not possible. It’s almost New Year time, and you’re expelling people and not allowing them to worship their ancestors?
"Okay! Easy! We can snatch the daughter-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, so we can just give her a surname. It's simple!"

Zhu Yuanzhang readily agreed, saying that since the other party was willing to be together, he would not worry about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the head of the village thanked him.

"Don't be polite. To be honest, our Ming Dynasty is what it is today thanks to you, Yichang. At least the people are not affected by war. Alas!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to do so.

"It's all thanks to others. Without their help, we wouldn't be able to do it!" said the village head modestly.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and tapped the village chief's shoulder with his finger: "He is him, and you are you. The credit cannot be put on him alone. Who is he?"

"Yes, Hanhan!" the head of the village answered very naturally.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

“Hahahaha… Yichang, you are great! Hehehehe…” Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and then laughed again.

“Hehehehe…” The head of the village followed suit.

After a while, the dishes began to be served, and the main ingredients were all brought back from America.

There are a lot of ways to cook potatoes alone, and there are also sweet potatoes. The most classic way to cook sweet potatoes is of course to candied sweet potatoes.

Pumpkin is most suitable for a large family, while zucchini can be cooked in the same way as gourd.

Depending on when corn is planted, it can be boiled, ground into flour, ground into grits, or used to make sour soup...

Fry corn kernels with pine nuts and peas, it looks good and tastes good.

The best is actually cornmeal steamed bread. Xiaqiao Village makes a lot of it in different proportions, and even makes a food substitute biscuit, with crushed corn vines mixed into the biscuit. Just try it, don't eat too much, or it will make it difficult to go to the toilet.

The thin cornmeal steamed bread mixed with honey and wheat flour is delicious, but eating it without anything mixed in it will make your throat irritated.

The normal ways to eat kidney beans include roasting kidney beans, stir-frying kidney bean shreds, stewing kidney beans, stir-frying kidney beans, and braising kidney beans. Of course, they can also be made into sauce, stuffing, and soup. The heat for blanching and serving cold is difficult to control. If it is not cooked thoroughly, it will be poisonous, and if it is too cooked, it will not be crispy.

While everyone was eating, the icy roasted sweet potatoes and black potatoes were served.

Sweet potatoes are baked in a special baking barrel, which is a large barrel filled with oil. It is filled with steel bars and covered with refractory clay, which is a form of waste utilization.

The potatoes are roasted in an earthen stove over a low fire. The outside is black and you need to peel off a layer before you can eat them.

The small potatoes that don't grow big are baked with salt. There is a layer of salt frost on the surface. You have to peel them slowly before eating, otherwise they will be too salty.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the roasted potato and peeled it. He took a bite and rubbed his mouth with black. "It's delicious. It reminds me of when I was a cowherd for Liu Ren when I was young and stole soybeans from his house and roasted them for food.

Directly in the bean field, light the dried bean vines on fire, and the beans inside will be roasted. Then you can scrape away the ashes and eat them with your mouth, just like a pig eating its food.

The food tasted delicious, and the beatings were painful. The people will soon be able to eat the new food on the table!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care to talk about his childhood. It was all because of poverty that he caused all the trouble. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty had more food and vegetables.

According to Xiaqiu Village, relatively balanced nutrition is beneficial to physical health, making people less sick, more productive, and increasing the gross social product.

They can also have more babies, increase the population, and be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty's rule.

The key is that these vegetables are really delicious. After people get them and grow them, they can cook them according to their own cooking tastes and habits!
It is estimated that some people do not like to eat a certain food or a certain way of cooking it, just like some people do not eat coriander, and some people do not eat onions, ginger and garlic.

"Are these biscuits really made in Xiaqiu Village?" Lao Wu saw the food substitute biscuits with corn seedlings in them, picked them up and ate them, eating half of them in one big bite, and then he was stunned.

He didn't care whether it was wasted or not. He picked up the tissue on the table and spit the contents of his mouth into it.

"This is prepared for times of famine. If our Ming Dynasty's grain reserves are insufficient, it's good to be able to eat this. It's better than eating dirt and tree bark."

Queen Ma looked at her son and did not say that he should not vomit. Instead, she told everyone a situation.
