Chapter 3814 Can this make money?
Anyway, those aristocratic families can taste whether it is Northeast rice or Chameng rice, or brown rice, which tastes good, and can also be fooled by ordering a feed grain. However, in this case, the price will need to be re-confirmed.
Of course, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing now, and we will discuss it during the Chinese New Year. If this year, Chen Xi thought about it and just let it go. Anyway, Cai Mao has already killed the madman, so there is nothing to say.
As for whether this thing will have any impact by turning it into feed food or something, Chen Xi thought that Cai Mao and the people were really just to make some money, and they were not for the food security of the Han Dynasty, so it was not a big deal to settle the problem.
Even if you think about it with your conscience, these people don’t eat this much. Farming is just a normal agricultural behavior. When you grow it, you find that the rice tastes worse than the rice in Northeast China. There are also many people who go to buy rice in Northeast China.
I think my rice is not delicious and eating it from other people's homes is something that has always existed. Chen Xi is a little messing around, so there is no big problem.
"It's better to have enough food." Li You said expressionlessly. Cai Mao sold grain and grass to the official at a large-scale low price, and Li You also knew that it was also known.
For Li You, this rice is just a bit unpalatable. Twenty years ago, the quality of military rations eaten by the Tieqi of Xiliang was very different from that of this purely refined grain. Three years ago, the people near Chang'an County had the porridge they put into pots still had dregs.
Is it a problem to eat something bad? It's not good at all. Besides, if you think it's bad, you can crush it into powder, and then make it into various other foods, add some seasonings and other things to completely turn into other flavors. So Li You is absolutely satisfied with this kind of unpalatable, high-yield grain.
After only a few days of good days, I had so many ideas. It turns out that I couldn’t find quality Guanyin soil even though I ate soil twenty years ago. I didn’t remember it deeply enough. And Chen Xi was really idle.
"In fact, according to the current situation, the grain output in the Central Plains will increase significantly next year. The decentralization of agricultural tools and the increase in the scope of land reclamation have positive significance for grain output." Chen Xi explained casually, "And if Ye dials the grain in those places, it still needs to be considered again."
Although these people are now transporting grain on large ships and making some money by low prices, if the other party's grain output is too outrageous, it will be inevitable that the grain market of the Han Dynasty will be impacted.
After all, the grain production area in the Central Plains is really not reliable. Plains such as North China, Central China and South China are indeed high-quality plains, but they do not have an advantage in climate and rain. From the perspective of the grain industry, there is no problem with self-sufficiency, but it is difficult to resist shocks.
Therefore, Cai Mao and others continued to develop. Sooner or later, they would become super-strength international grain merchants of later generations. They had the possibility of destroying the Han Dynasty's grain industry. After all, the prices of this group of people were indeed very low.
To put it too much, the prices of grain in the Han Dynasty fluctuated back and forth, but they were generally 150 cents per stone. The meaning of this price is more to ensure the people's food. As for making money, there is actually not much profit.
But even with the freight rate of Cai Mao, the people's grain is almost half the profit, and it seems not much, but the arable land of Cai Mao and his group has not yet developed completely. When they develop, they continue to sell grain so continuously, and the government is a little relaxed. After the people realize that selling grain is more cost-effective than growing grain, they will gradually give up farming.
This problem is very big. Maybe it will take several generations to appear, but once it reaches that level, Chen Xi is unable to make up for it, so while these troubles have not yet occurred, we should quickly cut off this possibility.
"I always feel that you are a little unsatisfied with the families in Jiangnan who come to sell grain." Lu Su frowned and said, looking at Chen Xi.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the angle of the stand is different." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "In the general direction, it's better to put food out of the situation than to be short of it, so I agree with this matter more, but I have to consider other aspects, which is roughly the case."
"By the way, I haven't seen His Royal Highness go to have a coolie this year, and it's August 15th, and His Royal Highness has not sent any gifts." Liu Ye has a different position on this issue, so he didn't want to talk more, so he naturally changed the topic.
"You actually beat the princess's gift, you're afraid you haven't woken up." Chen Xi joked at the rare moment, "But then, indeed, what's going on with Your Highness this year?"
"I have lost some money in Shanglinyuan last year. I realized that I can't delay it this year and am harvesting now." Lu Su said quietly, "Han Mou is also staring there. It is said that some problems have occurred again. Now it is all up to Concubine Xian to do his best."
Liu Tong finally did not give up planting peanuts. After all, the peanuts harvested last year made Liu Tong realize that the oil yield rate of this thing is really outrageous, so he made a comeback after the beginning of this year and was preparing to continue to work on her Royal Special Oil Supply and other things.
In addition to the factory she found from Chen Xi, Liu Tong was very excited and said that she could make a lot of money this year, so there is no need to say more about the following. The large textile factory in Chang'an recruited another 2,000 people this year and provided a large number of positions. Then Chen Xi secretly built a large area of supporting facilities, so the textile factory's revenue this year was negative.
In fact, it is not negative. To be precise, the textile factory has suppressed a lot of goods. If these goods are pre-sale, they can get a large sum of money. In addition, cloth is just as hard as money these days. After paying the female worker’s salary, as long as there is cloth in the warehouse, it will be profitable.
But Chen Xi’s trap is that Chen Xi transferred the cloth to downstream ready-to-wear, military uniforms, and various fabrics in advance, and did not pay for it, because this thing is just a part of the entire industry. For Chen Xi, it is not even a branch factory, but just a workshop. So after the book transfer, such a super-large factory will become negative revenue this year.
From the perspective of a single factory, this is definitely a loss. No matter how Liu Tong checks the account, he can't find out the problem. He can only consider whether he has recruited too many new people this year. But from the overall perspective, the ten branches under him who provide raw materials and intermediate products all suffer losses in order to support brother enterprises, but they make a big profit overall, and they will not give the company that loses money on the books?
What a joke, of course you have to divide it. As long as you complete the plan goals, it doesn’t matter whether the book data is lost or not. So logically, Chen Xi still has to give Liu Tong money, because this whole textile industry has made a lot of money this year.
Therefore, at the end of the year, Chen Xi planned to calculate the output value and then look at Liu Tong to give an integer - although you lost this year, it doesn't matter, there is still New Year's money.
What, why do you think Chen Xi knew that she would definitely lose this year? If she could make money, Liu Tong wouldn't have to go to heaven. What a joke? It's only August. According to the books, Liu Tong has lost more than 8 million yuan. If Chen Xi hadn't been afraid of scaring Liu Tong away, Chen Xi would have created data that would have lost tens of millions of yuan.
But at least you are a person, you have to be a little bit of shame and can't do it too much. Let's play like this first.
But even if it was eight million yuan, Liu Tong was confused. What happened, I recruited some people, bought some goods, and released some materials. Why did I lose so much? I want to check the accounts. After checking Liu Tong, I was even more confused. I really lost so much. Why? I am so delicious!
So Liu Tong went back to Weiyang Palace to plant peanuts. Compared to the textile factory where he lost money for a month, Liu Tong thought that farming was reliable. Their Liu family is not good at business and is based on farming. They are stable and go farming.
Needless to say, Liu Tong has been trying to harvest peanuts until now. As she lost a little before, she is now a big profit. These small things that can produce oil are hopeful for her turnaround!
"Why do I always think that Your Highness can't make money?" Liu Ye said quietly at Chen Xi. Chen Xi glanced at Liu Ye and said nothing. What do you mean when you say this? Is it because I'm making trouble for Liu Tong and making a joke? Of course it's not.
"There is a high probability that you won't make money." Mi Zhu, who rarely comes here and has been working and entered the rest stage recently, sighed and said, "Peanuts are good things. The oil yield rate is indeed very high, and the demand for oil is indeed very large, but the eldest princess is likely to not make money."
"It's not going to be profitable." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's just that the profit is not so smooth, and you can definitely make money."
Liu Tong naturally didn't know why the people in the Government Affairs Department were evaluating her. She was now taking a group of people to harvest her own peanuts. Although she hired a female worker to dig peanuts, it would cost three cents per hour, which was about 450 cents per month.
This job requires not much physical strength, so finding women to harvest is much cheaper than men. Of course, even so, Liu Tong thinks it is very expensive. Sometimes this guy is just a Pixiu, the kind that only enters and does not leave, so recently he has been trying to exploit Si Niang. Si Niang has developed a new type of harvesting skills, which can generally be up to one or two hundred people per person.
So Liu Tong hired a large group of people, and relied on Si Niang for harvest. Then he encouraged Si Niang himself. As for Si Niang's expression, from being excited to being impatient to resist, and finally wandered around and became a tool man, he experienced a lot of things during this period.
