Chapter 409: Taking care of your own business
Yan Yu is fighting between heaven and man.
Just now, her father told her that the government will issue a series of measures to help people survive this winter.
The construction of arrow towers in various towns and villages was carried out simultaneously with the repair of houses damaged by Beirong in Huju City.
The government office will make calculations every three days, settle the remuneration, and open a grain purchase point in the barn. Each household has a monthly limit based on the headcount, based on the registered residents who have just completed the household statistics. You can also buy all the shares at once or in batches.
also may.
When the government settles accounts, the government will use two methods of payment: copper plates and grain purchase coupons. People can choose on their own.
The advantage of choosing grain purchase vouchers is that each household can increase their grain purchase share by 30% on the original basis.
At that time, Yan Yu questioned that the existing manpower of the Huju Government Office was simply unable to complete such a huge workload.
It is quite simple to record the number of workers every day, the amount of materials entering and leaving the inventory, etc.
The government office settles every three days. It would be fine if copper coins were issued separately, but if you want to pay with coupons, you need to implement the share of each household's head. This is equivalent to opening an account for all the small households in Huju, and keeping accounts on both sides.
When the government office issues coupons, one account must be recorded, and when the barn cancels coupons, another account must be recorded. Both parties cannot make mistakes, and the accounts need to be reconciled in a timely manner.
Not to mention the incoming and outgoing accounts of grain inventories and the government's series of purchases and expenditures on materials, grain, labor, and transportation...
On the way, Yan Yu expressed his thoughts.
"If you invest money here, you won't be able to buy the shop." Yan Laoer thought for a while and said, "In this case, let's visit the old customers and explore the market."
The Huju government office lacks money and cannot take care of both, so they can only make a choice. Between eating and keeping warm, they prefer the former, but in fact firewood has a lot to offer.
Your master is quite a spirited person. Even though he owes a lot of debt now, since we have developed these methods, he has no worries anymore. He has also made plans for the future. He said that when life is better, he will save some money and go to the countryside.
Open a school..."
In addition, Dad also said that the master had already negotiated with General Xue Qi that the border troops would regularly take the people into the mountains to hunt, and the prey would be divided equally, but the furs would be left to the people for keeping warm.
For the family's charcoal business, she originally planned to find some uncles to help her in the village, but now she believes that opening up her mind and opening up the pattern should not only look at the one-third of an acre of land in front of her, but also broaden her horizons and take a look at the people in Huju territory.
They are all potential suppliers!
Her square sachets have been copied by others, and they have things printed on them. Even though they look similar, the price has dropped a bit, and there are so many sachets on the market now that they are almost saturated.
The next day, Yan Laoer and his teacher took leave and accompanied their daughter to Yongning to look at shops.
There are only uncle and uncle Liang in the household, are they going to be exhausted to death?
Her father answered like this: "...give a salary to those who can write in Huju, let them sit in the government office warmly and earn money, so as to save those who can't carry their shoulders and carry their hands.
The scholar spends his time at home doing nothing.
But what to do with her shop? If the money is used to fill one end, the other end will be left unfinished.
Take firewood as an example. A bundle of firewood can be sold for ten cents in Yongning, but only eight cents in Huju. If the market is not good, even seven cents will be sold.
Yan Yu originally wanted to rely on Xiangyizi to relieve the pressure on money.
The good news is that there are so many people who want to buy charcoal, and they almost have to order from one store.
An announcement will also be made throughout the territory that it will be severely cold this winter, asking people to store more charcoal, be careful about starting fires, and check the stoves and stoves at home to prevent the doors and windows from being blocked and inhaling charcoal poison.
She didn't want reality to pour cold water on her.
Yan Laoer said: "We want to go together. I also think that the charcoal fire will increase. However, your master did not agree in the end. He said that if the government comes to buy charcoal and firewood, firstly, there is not enough money, and the turnover will not be able to open up.
Time is short of food, and I am afraid that the people will be panicked. If the coupon system cannot be implemented, the gain will outweigh the loss.
And she happened to have a sum of money in her hand, probably, no, she should be able to set up the stall.
"We have to go home and discuss it again. After all, this is not a small sum. Come tomorrow, whether you want to buy it or not, we will send you a letter." Yan Laoer said with a smile.
After entering Yongning City, the father and daughter first went to find He Zhongren, then looked at a shop, and then went to the one that Yan Yu had come back to see. Yan Laoer looked carefully inside and outside and asked
: "He Zhongren, how much is the real price of this shop?"
You must know that now we use abacus and pen to do calculations. We don’t know how many words to write when we simply keep accounts every day.
Yan Yu saw business opportunities in this.
Secondly, your master is afraid that in order to make money, everyone will exchange all the firewood for copper coins, and he will not be willing to burn it. If someone freezes to death, the government will be responsible!"
Business cannot be done without righteousness. Looking at this family's style, even if they don't buy it now, they will inevitably buy property in Yongning City in the future.
…
So based on eight cents, a bundle of firewood transported to Yongning can earn two cents, ten bundles, one cart, how many carts?
Everyone knows that winter has come early this year. People in Guanzhou also say that this year is a cold winter and very difficult. It is foreseeable that the demand for firewood will be huge...
On the one hand, this is because Yongning is a prefectural city and prices are higher than in Huju. On the other hand, there are many mountains, forests, and wastelands in Huju, so it is easier to collect firewood.
"It's easy to talk about." The people in He Zhong are very friendly. Shops worth hundreds of taels are often bought immediately, and the transactions are completed after a few months or even half a year.
"The owner has said that he won't give up the price, and he will pay for the deed." He Zhongren also tried his best, but the price of the shop was this, and he didn't complain.
Not only should we give them jobs to reduce the pressure on their families, but we should also provide them with more education. This is what your master proposed. You hope that the people in Huju will truly feel the benefits of being scholars and develop a desire to learn.
"I don't act as a government agency, and I won't charge too much. Maybe I will set a quota and take away the money after collecting enough every day. In this case, there won't be a huge backlog of capital."
…
As the weather gets colder, I won’t wash up so frequently. To put it bluntly, this thing is not a necessity and there are too many substitutes.
Yan Laoer is very smart. He said that most of his own charcoal has been ordered by others, and there are too many people who want the remaining part. But who knows that everyone is an old relationship, so he has to squeeze out some of it, and wait until tomorrow.
It was delivered to you on the same day.
He went to the city gate to ask about the price of bundles of firewood, and stood there for a while watching people selling goods, before returning home with his daughter.
"How much money do you have left to buy a shop?" Yan Laoer probably knew how much money his daughter had in hand, and thought that if her daughter really wanted to buy it, he would help her.
Yan Yu sighed and said: "Father, mother, forget it, I don't like the cheap ones, and they will cost me money. If I buy it for that shop, my hands will be empty, and I won't be able to do anything I want to do! I still concentrate on it."
Let’s get into the charcoal business, this is our family’s fundamentals.”
Winter is about to start hehehe~
I’ll correct the typos later, so I’ll just take a nap for an hour~
