In the afternoon, a group of women went to the inner market to buy things. In the countryside, every 15th day of the lunar month, there are also such commercial activities in the palace. There are three times a month in the inner market, but most of the things sold are valuables. The concubines in the harem are the main purchasing power supporting the inner market.&1t;/p>

There are not many women in Zhu Youzhai, but I am cheap, as well as the concubine of Emperor Wanli, and a group of people who are well-fed and have good food and drinks. I don’t have to do anything all day long, and I have time and money. Just like the Chinese aunts in later generations, I often gather together to do various activities.&1t;/p>

The reform in the palace can be said to be the first to begin, and the cold palace was also removed by Zhu Youxiao. The former concubines of the cold palace changed their residences and arranged people to serve them. Pocket money is even more indispensable, and they have at least 500 yuan in pocket money every month. The number of concubines in the palace is actually not a large number. The so-called 3,000 beauties in the harem is just an imaginary number.&1t;/p>

The concubine in the harem is not short of money to spend, and she has plenty of time, and there is nothing to fight with each other, so she is very happy. The eunuchs and palace maids are not short of money to spend, so she naturally has a very happy life.&1t;/p>

When it comes to royal expenses, Zhu Youxiao was obviously very generous. Unlike in history, the emperors of the late Ming Dynasty saved and saved, and saving so much money was useless.&1t;/p>

Although the expenses are large, it is really a drop in the bucket compared to the national finance.&1t;/p>

The women all went shopping in the market, and Zhu Youxiao summoned Zhang Hengsheng in the Yangxin Hall. This was a guy who looked over fifties and black and thin, but his eyes were flashing with a layer of brilliance, giving people a slight sense of alertness.&1t;/p>

"Zhang Hengsheng, bow to His Majesty the Emperor." When Zhang Hengsheng saw Zhu Youxiao, he immediately knelt down and bowed, and felt an unconcealed excitement in his heart. After working as a shopkeeper for so many years, he didn't expect to be summoned by the emperor one day. If it were before, these senior business talents might not have taken the emperor seriously. After all, the emperor really looks supreme, but he will not do anything to them. The most important thing is that the emperor has no money.&1t;/p>

But now it’s different. Since the new king ascended the throne, the new king began to show royal capital and gradually showed its intimidating terrifying fangs.&1t;/p>

The merchants will not only face the threat of royal capital, but the emperor also has money.&1t;/p>

"Flat." Zhu Youxiao waved, and asked someone to bring a chair for Zhang Hengsheng and even gave him tea. This made Zhang Hengsheng feel flattered. Obviously, the emperor's prestige was not established by scolding elementary school students to treat ministers. People's communication is still skillful. Especially for these business talents, it is really hard to recruit. Many business owners have employment relationships for several generations.&1t;/p>

These experienced senior business talents are not short of money. If they are really unhappy with the Emperor, the boss, they can give up the burden. This time, if they don’t keep the master, they will have to leave their hands, and the emperor will have no choice but to do anything to them.&1t;/p>

After Zhang Hengsheng was flattered, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhang Jiangui has been doing grain bank management and production coordination for many years?"&1t;/p>

"Report to the Emperor, it has been almost thirty years since the grass-roots management and coordination of agricultural production." Zhang Hengsheng replied.&1t;/p>

"I am rich in experience! I wonder if you have any better views on the current Royal Agricultural Company exhibition?" Zhu Youchao asked you Zhang Hengsheng.&1t;/p>

Zhang Hengsheng knew that his test was coming, so he quickly organized his language and answered positively: "Caomin thought that the current business model of Royal Agricultural Company is very good. Organizing the idle population with nothing to do to produce and build, which has a great effect in terms of safeguarding the people. At the same time, it has expanded agricultural output and can also repair a large amount of infrastructure."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao nodded and was in a good mood. Zhang Hengsheng's flattery was the right place to shoot. People like to listen to flattery, but they just look at where to shoot. It just happened that the imperial village system was designed by Zhu Youxiao, and Zhang Hengsheng's flattery was scratched to the itch.&1t;/p>

But he can only flatter him, and obviously he can't even get into Zhu Youxiao's eyes. Zhang Hengsheng quickly changed the subject and said, "But Caomin thinks that agricultural companies can further make greater profits on this basis."&1t;/p>

"Tell me," Zhu Youxiao nodded and encouraged.&1t;/p>

"Now the operation of the imperial farm is mostly grain, which is relatively single. We can also optimize the structure according to local conditions. For example, those sandy lands can be used to hire workers to plant sweet potatoes with the greatest efficiency, whether they are processed into feed or processed sweet potato flour. This sandy land is distributed to farmers, and even if they are given more, they are under great pressure to work. Especially when the sweet potatoes are harvested."&1t;/p>

"In addition, the company can expand the area of ​​hiring workers to plant, not only grow grain, but also open vegetable planting bases and orchards around the towns in northern Zhili, and hire workers to plant cotton. In addition, while improving water conservancy, it can also increase the intensity of breeding and fertilization to achieve the goal of increasing production and income."&1t;/p>

"Is that all?" Zhu Youxiao was a little disappointed, afraid that the salesmen below understood this! Seeing that the emperor was not very satisfied, Zhang Hengsheng pondered for a moment and said, "On a large scale, the real violence is monopoly management. If the imperial village can merge other land in Beizhili, then the pricing of agricultural products in the entire Beizhili is our final say, which is a real and long-term stable interest."&1t;/p>

When talking about monopoly, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became energetic. The general manager he wanted was to be able to see the overall situation clearly.&1t;/p>

"How can the imperial village annex the land?" Zhu Youxiao asked.&1t;/p>

"Tax." Zhang Hengsheng said these two words in a dark mind, and then said: "Many self-cultivated farmers in Beizhili want to incorporate into the imperial village. For this part of self-cultivated farmers, if they are merged into the imperial village, they will dispel their concerns as long as they are paid 10% of the output. For those landlords, we use taxes to deal with them. At the same time, if they can recover Liaodong, they can also use market methods to exclude those landlords."&1t;/p>

If Liaodong can be recovered, there will be a lot of land. At that time, when a worker is hired to produce commercial grain, as long as the purchase price of agricultural products in Beizhili is lowered, the agricultural production interests of those landlords will be very low. At that time, they will choose to sell the land and be merged by the Royal Agricultural Company.&1t;/p>

"How about land investment?" Zhu Youxiao reminded.&1t;/p>

"Land investment?" Zhang Hengsheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "It's amazing! If you use land investment to merge, you don't need to spend money to buy land. As long as we get the land management rights, we have the final say for how much money to share. As long as we fully merge the land in Beizhili, the pricing of agricultural products will be the final say for us."&1t;/p>

"Well! Not bad. Now the position of general manager of the Royal Agricultural Company is still vacant, so you will take charge! As long as you achieve your achievements, I will not treat you badly." Zhu Youxiao made the appointment with satisfaction. Zhang Hengsheng is obviously a bad guy, and it is most appropriate to use him to deal with those landlords.&1t;/p>

As for the huge profits of monopoly operations, it is obviously unlikely that they will exist. The prices of agricultural products must be controlled within a certain range. Even if Zhang Hengsheng wants to be unscrupulous, he must pass Zhu Youxiao's level.&1t;/p>

The supply of food must be stable, but some agricultural products that are not necessary for ordinary people can make huge profits.&1t;/p>

"Thank you for your kindness, the people should devote themselves to their efforts." Zhang Hengsheng continued excitedly. What it means to be the general manager is self-evident.&1t;/p>

"Well, go and do it!" Zhu Youxiao nodded.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor, the people of the grass retreat."&1t;/p>

After killing Zhang Hengsheng, Zhu Youxiao asked the Sili Supervisor to draft a letter of appointment.&1t;/p>

"Annexation! I don't know whether this road is right or wrong." Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked out of the Palace of Yangxin, and couldn't help but sigh. There are advantages and disadvantages of land annexation. If the operation is not properly done, the following will be in chaos. At that time, it will not be a peasant uprising, but a workers' revolution.&1t;/p>

After a large amount of land merger, once agricultural products are highly commercialized, the population will naturally be concentrated in cities and towns, and industrial construction activities will begin.&1t;/p>

If agricultural products cannot keep up and workers are hungry, they will naturally have to revolutionize workers.&1t;/p>

However, once the majority of the population is concentrated in towns, the power that a country can draw will be quite terrifying.&1t;/p>

Zhang Hengsheng's appointment arrived soon. After Zhang Hengsheng took office, the operating efficiency of Royal Agricultural Company immediately reached a higher level. Zhang Hengsheng, who has been engaged in agricultural production coordination for nearly 30 years, obviously has rich management experience.&1t;/p>

Although it was proposed to expand the production area of ​​employed workers, the imperial village still had to continue to do it in Northern Zhili. Zhang Hengsheng knew very well that the emperor wanted to stabilize the people first.&1t;/p>

The work of opening up land and improving salinization land was also launched under the auspices of Zhang Hengsheng.&1t;/p>

After the land shareholding policy was opened, a large number of self-cultivated farmers merged the land into the imperial village. After the merger into the imperial village, they can get profit dividends every year. There are three types of resettlement situations. One is to enter the imperial village to be a tenant farmer, one enters the town to be a worker, and the other is to receive an interest-free loan to do small business.&1t;/p>

Although you have to pay 30% of the tenant rent when you enter the imperial village, you can make up for a part of the land dividend, or even a part of it, depending on the amount of land. When you enter a town and become a worker, you can first place it in the royal enterprise.&1t;/p>

Employees in royal enterprises are not considered iron jobs, and there is also the possibility of unemployment. Royal enterprises are somewhat similar to state-owned enterprises in later generations, but the way of hiring workers is capitalist.&1t;/p>

As for those landlords in Northern Zhili, there are still many landlords who incorporated the land into the imperial village, but most of them are still waiting and even resisting.&1t;/p>

Xu Guangqi presided over the establishment of a "salt-alkali governance project group". Xu Guangqi is quite experienced in improving alkaline land. This chemical improvement method was found in the Ming Dynasty. The improvement of salted land was relatively long, requiring salt discharge, salt washing, and then planting some jujubes, poplars, orchids.&1t;/p>

Under the operation of Royal Agricultural Company, Royal Capital's land merger activity has begun. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
