Chapter 113 Splendid Ancestral Industry ([-])

"Shuchangzi?" Qiu Sanniang's reaction was completely different from Mo Zi's mood. She had no hope for Hongyu'ao, but after seeing Qiu Dadong, she thought that the ancestral business might refer to something else, who knew it was just a boat-making workshop.No wonder, the descendants of the Qiu family are unwilling to inherit. Her father often visits the shop and has never been here.

"I heard from my grandfather that Hongyuao was very busy at that time, and there were beating sounds from morning to night." Qiu Dadong didn't notice Qiu Sanniang's complexion gradually darkening.

Qiu Sanniang waved her hand impatiently, "Dong Bo, it's alright, I don't know anything about carpentry, and even the sound of clappers gives me a headache."

Qiu Dadong was originally in high spirits, but suddenly became dispirited, "Miss, will you reopen the shipyard?".

"I'm afraid it's difficult. You don't know the current situation. The shipbuilding industry is completely in the hands of the imperial court, and private private shipyards are under strict control, so it is difficult to apply for a permit. Moreover, if you are not an expert, you can't eat that kind of food." Qiu Sanniang said to the ship. I really don't know much about the industry, I only know that almost all large shipyards are under the control of the Ministry of Industry, and I don't know who is doing well among the people. "Besides, I'm looking at this line of business, and there is no big profit." At most, it is a small profit.

"Miss, we have a license to practice." Qiu Dadong's words made people surprised again.

Mo Zi secretly built an olive ship, so she has a little understanding of the ship industry.What Qiu Sanniang said is right. The shipbuilding industry has always been controlled by the imperial court, just like a modern state-owned enterprise.

Because water transportation is one of the most important foundations of a country, especially the four countries are divided by rivers, with water as the boundary. Once they break up, water warfare will be the first battle. Therefore, the strength of shipbuilding fundamentally determines the strength of a country. weak.All countries focus on the development of the shipbuilding industry, and Dazhou is the leader in this field. Almost all the best boatmen in the world are concentrated under the Ministry of Industry.As a result, the conditions for non-government workers to obtain employment licenses are very strict, and very few people can enter.And even if the shipyard can be opened, it is almost impossible to find a good boatman.The excellent ones were all recruited to work for the Ministry of Industry.Therefore, the folk shipbuilding technology is very poor and backward, and cannot be compared with the boats built by official shipyards.

Even though the environment was so harsh, Qiu Sanniang was wrong about one thing.The profits of shipbuilding are not small at all.Not only are they many, but they are also very large.

First, ships are in high demand.Although the official shipyards are craftsmen with good craftsmanship, they mainly build official ships, and their priority is official orders.Orders for private ships, but there is a limit for one year, buyers have to go through the back door, and the efficiency of shipping is really unsatisfactory.In other words, Mo Zi once thought about being lazy and asked the Luocheng boat yard to type out the upper and lower parts of the olive boat, but she actually told her that it would take three months.Later, she found a part-time worker to help, and it was done in 20 days.Those who think that the speed of the official shipyard is too slow and have no connections can only turn to private shipyards.

This leads to a second potential opportunity as there are only a handful of private boat yards.

In other words, there are only two in the entire Los Angeles.Mo Zi asked a family, indeed the business is very good, but the craftsmanship is really average, and the cost is more expensive than the official shipyard, the money Qiu Sanniang gave to buy the boat is not enough.However, for ordinary buyers, there is no choice but to be expensive.In this market, bargaining is almost impossible, and customers have to beg dryly to the owner of the shipyard.

why?

It is equal to the official family, plus the oligopoly market with a few dozen private companies, facing huge demand.Buyers want to haggle, then please find someone else.But they are also sure that the buyer will find no one else.The transportation is not well developed, so you can find one by riding a donkey and driving a horse for half a month, but you think the price is not good, so you have to spend another ten days to go to another one?People who can afford a boat don't care about the travel expenses, but what about time and effort?Therefore, money is a trivial matter, but more concerned about the ship being built, whether it is stable, whether it is safe, whether its cargo can be landed, and what to do in case of an accident on the ship.

To sum up, Mo Zi believes that the shipyard is a difficult industry to enter, but once entered, its profits are considerable.Otherwise, when she was negotiating with the owner of the private small boat yard, the other party would not have confidently said that the order had been received by the end of next year and asked her to come back in two years.The area of ​​the boat yard is only one-fifth of the size of Hongyuao, which is the size of an ordinary 20-person painting boat.

Qiu Sanniang has no idea about the shipping industry at all, so it is easy to say that she is not making money.Because ordinary businessmen don't know much about the shipping industry, they only feel that the government is restrictive, and there are few people in this industry, so they think it is only profitable.

"Dong Bo, do you know that the working license has a limited number of years. If you pay the tax, you can forget it. If you fail to pay the tax for three years, you will be disqualified from working and you have to apply again." At present, the principal requirement for entering the shipping industry is 3 taels.Mo Zi was stunned when she heard people say it, and since then she has stayed away from the ship industry and turned into an underground worker, privately building such an olive. "Hongyu'ao has been desolate for so many years, and the time limit should have passed earlier."

"No, no." Qiu Dadong waved his hands anxiously, "Mr. Qiu paid the taxes in full when he went south, and left money for my grandparents to pay the taxes for ten years. Although the shipyard is no longer in business, it can be closed for a period of time. The tax is 50 taels a year. In addition, the land can’t be cultivated, and the government collects it for use, so it has been kept until now. At the beginning of this year, we just replaced it with a new business book, and it was wrapped in leather. I always carry it with me I'm afraid that if the family is stolen. Miss', please take a look."

After speaking, he took out a brown leather book from his pocket.

Mo Zi took it and handed it to Qiu Sanniang.

After Qiu Sanniang had finished reading, she told Mo Zi, "You should take a look too."

Mo Zi saw that it was indeed the date of this year. It was stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Shangdu, and it was written that Hongyuao was licensed to operate the shipping industry, etc., and it was renewed for a period of 50 years.

"But, Dong Bo, if you only give your grandpa ten years' tax money, how will you pay it later?" Mo Zi has seen the living conditions of the grandparents and grandchildren, they are poor people who can't even afford eggs——

Suddenly, Mo Zi understood.

"The old man also gave my grandpa a family allowance, which was more than a hundred taels. We all grew our own vegetables and rice, and raised some chickens, ducks and pigs. Although there is not much good land in Aol, we can finally be self-sufficient. We don't need that money. Money, tax money can be paid for two more years. Selling vegetables, eggs, and poultry can save a dozen or so taels a year. During this period, there were many years of war and tax-free years. If you put everything together, it depends on God Help, I have handed in everything that should be handed in." Qiu Dadong's words confirmed what Mo Zi thought.

"Girl, Dong Bo saves food and expenses by himself, and sells everything that can be sold at home in exchange for tax. Even Niuniu eats an egg, and pays for it out of his own pocket." Mo Zi felt that she should tell Qiu Sanniang about this at this moment , will be sent by heaven.

Qiu Sanniang is not hard-hearted, Hongyu'ao is so dilapidated, Qiu Dadong can still make money so much and guard the family business, she is also a little moved, "Dong Bo, your family has worked hard for so many years."

"Miss, this is what young people should do. Without the Qiu family, there would be no my grandfather today, nor my Dadong, nor Niuniu. Miss, since you are married in Shangdu now, you can keep this certificate. No matter what Miss, "Would you like to re-operate the ancestral business, but it will finally return to the owner's hands, and I feel at ease." The solid-hearted person spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Qiu Sanniang looked at the brown book in Mo Zi's hand, although she also knew that it was not easy for several generations of Qiu Dadong to keep this ancestral property. A servant with bad intentions would take the money and run away, but the three generations of the Qiu family only made silk and rice. The business of buying and selling fertilizers, as well as making a living by buying fertile land to start a village, really has no interest in this barren land.

"Dong Bo, let me think about this again. In two days, I will marry into my husband's house. After I settle everything, whether to leave it or change hands, there must be an arrangement. However, even if it is sold, you and I will be married." Niuniu follow me, don't worry about not having a place to go." Whether a servant like Qiu Dadong can do it is another matter, just as loyal, Qiu Sanniang will not treat him badly.

"Miss, I have a humble status and have never studied, but I know that the ancestors of the Qiu family's hard work was to give future generations even a thought, a place where they can start from scratch. If you don't need money urgently, either I feel that paying taxes every year is too much money, and the young one will find a way, please don't sell it. Maybe in the future, the young master, the young master will be interested, and if I take it over and do it, it can be regarded as the inheritance of the ancestral business." Qiu Dadong has never read it. Books, but speak coherently, not a dull person.

When Mo Zi heard the words "little young master", "little young master", he smiled brightly.

Qiu Sanniang glared at Mo Zi, but didn't pay much attention to Qiu Dadong's words, she just responded perfunctorily, "It will be too late if you don't return to the city, I will come back later, and you bring your granddaughter back too."

"Miss, since you are here today, do you want to make up for Dong Bo?" Mo Zi has been waiting for Qiu Sanniang to ask, but he didn't.I don't know if this person is guilty of being stingy, or if he didn't think of it at all.

"Ah, by the way, but it's not called compensation. Since it's now an property under my name, the daily expenses will be taken from me." However, it is impossible to make up for what her grandfathers owed.Qiu Dadong just said that Yinzi can figure out a way by himself.Of course, she wouldn't go that far. "Dong Bo, you usually keep an account, how much money you bought, how many chickens and ducks you sold, and how much money you made. Every once in a while, I ask this girl to get the account book and distribute money."

"Miss, the little one can't read." Qiu Dadong found it difficult for this task.At the same time, he took another look at Mo Zi, unexpectedly this little brother is a girl.

Mo Zi really convinced Qiu Sanniang, her dowry was tens of thousands of taels, and she even cared about the money for selling eggs and duck eggs.

"Dong Bo, then you take a small box, put the money the girl gave you in it, take it when you use it, and put the money you earn in it when you sell something. Every time I come, you tell me you bought it. You can sell whatever you want. I will teach you the specifics later." Mo Zi is willing to help the disadvantaged.

"This is successful, I usually save money like this." Qiu Dadong smiled foolishly.

"Girl, how much money do you want to give Dong Bo?" Mo Zi and others showed.

"20 taels. 15 taels is urgent. Five taels are for Dongbo's grandson and grandson's private use. From now on, we will give you two taels a month. When Niuniu is older, I will give you an extra tael. Dongbo, Cai From now on, the land doesn’t need to be counted as the owner’s family, and the poultry and poultry should be divided into half as your own.” Qiu Sanniang showed a big kindness?

Mo Zi took out a few ingots of silver, about 20 taels, and stuffed them into Qiu Dadong's hands.

Qiu Dadong almost burst into tears again, saying thank you master, seeing Niu Niu coming over happily eating cakes, he hurriedly dragged and kowtowed.Moreover, he refused to get up no matter how he pulled it up, until the car carrying his new master turned the corner.
