Rebirth Blessed Wife and Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 915 The common people are very happy

Wang Zhifu found Chunjun Wang who was talking and working with the old farmer wearing a bamboo hat in the field.The king of Chunjun came to Hainan and did his work honestly. He never liked to socialize with officials. It seems that high-yielding rice is just around the corner.

"Jun Wang, the magistrate is here." The servant reminded from the side.

Shen Bingzhu turned his head, saw Wang Zhifu, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, wait a moment, I will record it right away."

"The prince of the county is a great talent, and Wang admires it." Wang Zhifu said in admiration. When he was young, his family was a small landlord, and his family had dozens of acres of land.When it's time for farming, you have to follow the adults in the family to work in the fields.

About a moment later, Shen Bingzhu came up from the field, washed his hands by the stream, and asked, "Master Wang, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Wang replied: "After the sugar making process is verified, the efficiency can be increased by [-]%, the sugar output can be increased by [-]%, and the white sugar produced is as white as frost and has a good appearance.

Now I'm down, and I want to sell the sugar-making process to several big sugar-making households in the county.The money from the sale is used to build bridges and pave roads on the one hand, and to promote sugarcane planting on the other hand.My lord, what do you think of this? "

Shen Bingzhu thought for a while, then nodded, "If it is sold to big sugar producers, if we ask for a higher price, they will not be willing; if we ask for a lower price, we will suffer, and the merchants are after profits, so we must prevent these merchants from uniting.

Therefore, I feel that a competition mechanism should be introduced.As long as you have money, you can buy sugar crafts, introduce new funds and merchants, and take the auction method.In this way, let them bid against each other, and the highest bidder wins.

With the addition of merchants who are not traditional large sugar producers, they have to purchase sugar cane in order to be able to produce sugar, and the price of sugar cane will also increase. Anyway, it is better than falling into the hands of those large sugar producers.Of course, this is just my superficial opinion, Mr. Wang and his colleagues should think about it carefully. "

"Thank you, my lord, for your suggestion." After hearing the words of Junjun Wang, the magistrate Wang's eyes became brighter and brighter, especially the sentence that only competitiveness can make progress, which makes more sense.

"My lord, don't worry that you won't be able to sell too much sugar." Shen Bingzhu reminded, "Because now Huang Ama agrees to increase overseas trade. Our sugar can not only be sold to rich places in the Qing Dynasty, but also to Overseas. As long as sugarcane is suitable for planting, it can be planted.”

When Mr. Wang heard this, his expression hesitated, "Although sugar can be sold for money, if there are more sugar cane planted, there will be less food to grow. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the lower officials can't reduce the cultivated land just because of more taxes."

Shen Bingzhu was surprised, and smiled, "Okay, then when the high-yield rice of this king is planted, more land can be planted with sugar cane."

"The lower officials also look forward to the early success of the prince, which is not only a blessing for the people of Hainan, but also a blessing for the people of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a blessing for the people of the world.

In recent years, high-yield crops from abroad have been continuously introduced to China.

Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have high yields per mu, feeding more people.If rice can also be more productive, the life of ordinary people will be better.

After Master Wang went back, he re-established the rules according to Shen Bingzhu's method, and finally auctioned off the sugar making craft.

After some scrambling, finally six companies won the sugar industry.

Three of them are traditional sugar workshop merchants, and the other three are large merchants in other industries.

Not only did they get 2 taels of silver from each family, but it also increased the competition.

After the sugar industry was auctioned off, the price of sugarcane rose the next day, and a piece of sugarcane cost two cents more than before.

Two pennies is nothing to other people, but with so many sugar canes in one mu of land, you can harvest three taels of silver more.

If you plant a few acres of sugarcane at home, you can harvest more than ten taels of silver than in previous years.

This is all extra money, which has greatly increased the income of local farmers who grow sugar cane.

The common people are very happy, saying that this year's life is better than previous years.

Prefect Wang is very concerned about people's livelihood and very happy.

However, it is very dangerous to think that more people will grow sugar cane in the future, and there will not be enough food.

Therefore, Wang Zhifu began to order that each household can only plant five acres of sugarcane, and heavy taxes will be charged on more than five acres.

There are policies and measures to counter.

As soon as this policy came out, the common people ushered in a wave of family separation.

Originally, some elderly people insisted that their parents did not separate their families, and the whole family worked together and ate together.

But now each household is allowed to plant more sugar cane, so these people are separated immediately.

Generally, the parents live with the eldest son, and the other sons who are married are divided out and become independent households, so they can plant an additional 5 mu of sugarcane forest.

Because the cultivation of sugarcane forests is very strict and the investment is very large, in the past, one mu of land could earn five or six taels of silver, but now it can earn eight or nine taels, or even ten taels of silver.

If the whole family takes good care of the sugarcane forest, they will be able to live comfortably.

At the same time, those sugar merchants made a lot of money.

Because the quality of frosting sugar is good, the price is higher than before, the output is also high, and the efficiency is high, so even if the price of raw materials increases in the end, the merchants still make money.

A steady stream of frosting sugar is transported to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River and the north to make profits; there are also sea ships and caravans for overseas trade, and now there is another kind of cargo, frosting sugar.Overseas, the profits are even greater.

As soon as Shen Bingzhu came over, he brought blessings to Hainan. Under the deliberate propaganda of Wang Zhifu, not only the people in Hainan knew, but the capital also wrote a note and submitted it.

Two months after Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi stayed in Hainan, that is, four months after they left the capital, Kangxi in the capital received the official report.

As for the private reports, they will be sent through special channels almost every two or three days.Kangxi will check it carefully every time, and never tell the outside world.

He didn't want others to know that he was very concerned about the old couple, and he didn't want to cause trouble to his son and daughter-in-law who were far away in the world.

After Shen Bingzhu, Liu Yiyi, Tuya and Baozhu arrived in Hainan, they prepared local specialties and sent them to the capital together with letters.

Liu Yiyi's gift to the Queen Mother was a conch he picked up at the beach, and when he put it in the wind, he could still hear the sound of the sea breeze.

Tuya gave a string of local pearl necklaces, which are not as good as tributes, but they are also pretty.

Concubine Cheng and Xiao Shiqi also received gifts, and the gift Kangxi received was actually a beautiful stone.

Kangxi looked at the beautiful stones on the table and fell into deep thought. Did Lao Qi send him the stones for something else?

But all guesses disappeared after seeing the letter.

This is a beautiful, ordinary stone, and it comes from the southernmost state capital of the Qing Dynasty.
