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 calculate the remuneration every three days, and set up a grain purchase point in the barn. Each household has a monthly limit based on the number of people, 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 settling accounts, the government offices will use two methods of payment: copper plates and grain purchase coupons, and 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 fairly simple to record the number of workers every day, the amount of materials entering and exiting 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 sides 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...
You must know that now we use abacus and pen to do calculations, and we don’t know how many words to write for simple accounting every day.
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 the shoulders and the hands.
The scholar spends his time at home doing nothing.
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 scholars and develop a desire to learn.
Your master is quite a spirited person. Even though he owes a lot of debt now, since we have developed these methods, he doesn’t have to worry anymore. He is also planning 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, and 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.
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 in their homes to prevent the doors and windows from being blocked and inhaling charcoal poison.
Yan Yu saw business opportunities in this.
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.
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.
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.
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. Guanzhou people also say that this year is a cold winter and very difficult. It is foreseeable that the demand for firewood will be huge...
For her family's charcoal business, she originally planned to find some uncles in the village to help her, but now she believes that opening up her mind and opening up the pattern should not just look at the one-third of an acre of land in front of her, but broaden her horizons and take a look at the people in Huju territory.
They are all potential suppliers!
And she happened to have a sum of money in her hand, probably, no, she should be able to set up the stall.
But what to do with her shop? If the money is used to fill one end, the other end will be left unfinished.
…
The next day, Yan Laoer and his teacher took leave and accompanied their daughter to Yongning to look at shops.
On the way, Yan Yu expressed his thoughts.
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 came to buy charcoal and firewood, firstly, there would be insufficient money and the turnover would be insufficient.
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.
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!"
"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."
"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."
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?"
"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.
"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.
"It's easy to talk about." The people in He Zhong are very friendly. Shops with hundreds of taels are often bought immediately, and the transactions are completed after a few months or even half a year.
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.
…
Yan Yu originally wanted to rely on Xiangjizi to relieve the pressure on money.
She didn't want reality to pour cold water on her.
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.
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.
The good news is that there are so many people who want to buy charcoal, and they almost have to order from one store at a time.
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.
This will be delivered to you every 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 the ones I like 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.”
