With the bustling of Ruijin Town, the number of military households has also maintained a gradual increase.
Han Ming also said when he went to the grassland the day before that Luo Baihu asked Qili County Government for ten acres of land to build houses so that they could be sold to military households who immigrated.
The thirty or so courtyards built in the past are no longer enough, and it seems that at least fifty more will be built.
When there are many military households, everyone wants to make money, and it is inevitable that some monks will have too much to eat.
The Song family's feed factory needs raw materials, and the military households also want to use the cheapest feed. This is a contradiction.
But the Song Family Feed Factory took the initiative to avoid it. It should have nothing to do with the raw materials.
Now Song Liyun wants Xue Zhuang to tell everything.
Xue Zhuang naturally wanted to speak out. He felt that since he and the Song family were military households, they should have a selfless attitude.
"Miss Song, Tianxiang Tower's business is booming now. A scented rabbit costs three hundred coins, but Manager Han only paid fifty coins for the live rabbit he received from the military household. This price is really... too low!
"
"We are all military households, so Tianxiang House can make less money, so that military households can also say hello to the Song family."
"These days, many military households are complaining, pointing fingers at Miss Song and scolding you, saying they are making dirty money, and even want to come to Baolinju to argue.
I explained it for a long time and even punished several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who talked nonsense before I managed to suppress the limelight."
"Alas! Xue shouldn't be involved in this business matter, but considering that the girl has always been straightforward and upright, she has an excellent reputation in Ruijin Town, and her beef and mutton business is also very good, so she doesn't care about the small money."
"A few days ago, I asked Manager Han to discuss whether the price should be adjusted. Who knew that Manager Han was only interested in profit, and he actually ignored the girl's reputation and was not willing to add a penny."
Xue Zhuang said with a heartbroken look on his face, very dissatisfied that Han Ming had ruined Song Liyun's reputation.
Xue Zhuang did not say it directly. Those military households felt that the Song family not only made money from their own feed, but also sold their rabbits at high prices in Tianxiang Building. They were greedy and evil businessmen.
It's just that the Song family's feed prices have never changed, and rabbit farmers can't say if they will drop it again. They only focus on the profitable scented rabbits.
Song Liyun looked calm: "It's hard for Master Xue to worry about me like this. I just don't know how much the price should be adjusted to."
Seeing that she was not angry, Xue Zhuang said boldly: "Xue thinks it is most appropriate to set the price of a live rabbit at one hundred ren."
Song Liyun's brows twitched, she raised her eyes and looked directly at him and said, "What's the current price of live rabbits in Ruijin Town?"
Xue Zhuang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Thirty cents each!"
There are also hunters selling hares in Broken Gold Town. In fact, the transaction price is usually more than 20 cents each.
The price of a small rabbit is even lower, and you can buy one for ten cents.
Because rabbit meat has no oil or water and is light and woody, it requires a lot of seasoning when cooking to achieve a strong flavor and freshness.
In contrast, ordinary people who are diligent and thrifty prefer to eat chicken, duck, fish, or pork.
The reason why the Song family received fifty coins from the military household for collecting rabbits was that each finished rabbit was uniform in size, had a short growth cycle, and had delicious and tender meat, without the dried-up sticks of hare meat.
Batch farming can ensure supply quality and quantity.
For an industry, ensuring supply is very important, which is why Song Liyun charges a high price.
Song Liyun's face darkened and he said sternly: "Since you know that you should not interfere with the price of meat rabbits, why do you dare to make the decision without authorization and give a hundred coins? How much profit can you get from it?
"If the scented rabbit can be sold for 300 yuan, there is no need for other costs? From production to sales, there is no one who has worked hard, and there is no profit."
"Even if Tianxiang Tower is sold for three taels of silver, what does it have to do with you raising rabbits?"
"I don't think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, how to control costs, I only focus on how much others can sell, and only calculate how much I can share..."
"Haha, it seems that in a few days, he will jump out and fail to settle the score 50-50 with me!"
Her words were sharp and she showed no mercy. She spoke so bluntly that Xue Zhuang's face turned red and he quickly argued: "Miss Song has wronged me. How can I dare to profit from it?"
It’s just that some women are careless and say some mean words. I thought it would damage the girls’ reputation, so I said I would increase the price for them.”
Song Liyun snorted coldly: "Then please tell Mr. Xue to tell those women that the price of a rabbit at fifty cents will remain unchanged. If you are not satisfied, you can take the rabbits to find a sale on your own and return the breeding rabbits I provided before."
that is.
Mr. Xue is so enthusiastic, you can help them find a way, or you can open a restaurant and sell them for three hundred coins, and you can make a lot of money."
"But I have something to say up front: If my reputation is ruined and my business fails, everyone will follow the northwest wind!"
After that, no matter how Xue Zhuang, whose face turned green and red, explained, he walked away directly.
If two years ago, Song Liyun still had the intention to build a good relationship with the military household, but now...she doesn't think it is necessary.
No matter how warm the relationship is on the surface, in the end money will do the talking.
Don't talk about emotions and feelings, it is the right thing to give everyone a real benefit.
Mr. Zhang had been sitting nearby and watching with cold eyes. It was not until Xue Zhuang came back angrily after chasing him out that he sighed: "Mr. Xue, you have annoyed Miss Song!"
Xue Zhuang said nothing with a dark face.
Mr. Zhang pushed him a cup of herbal tea with ice cubes and said warmly: "Here, take a sip of ice to cool down the anger."
Xue Zhuang took up the dish and finished it in one mouthful. The chill in his heart made him shiver, and he suddenly woke up.
Drinking ice water in the summer is only available in Ruijin Town and Tianxiang Tower.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Zhang, please give me some advice. Song Liyun has been kind to you and me, so of course we should repay it. We usually don't give her half the respect."
"I just said that the price should be increased, and it didn't matter if she didn't agree. Why did she say that I wanted to make a profit from it?"
"Mr. Zhang, you have to testify on my behalf. I was wronged!"
Just now Song Liyun said that he wanted to enrich himself, but he did not admit it and could not admit it.
He has known Song Liyun for almost two years, and he knows many things well.
If someone thinks that Song Liyun is an ordinary military girl, that would be a big mistake.
She holds several lives in her hands, and the health center and the county government are her backers.
To put it bluntly, in Ruijin Town, no one could object to Song Liyun doing something to someone regardless of dignity.
Therefore, what Song Liyun just said about her reputation being ruined and everyone following the northwest wind was already being euphemistic.
Xue Zhuang secretly corrected him: Song Liyun's reputation was ruined, and everyone else was buried with him.
But now, he is the one who will be buried with him!
Xue Zhuang was flustered and took out the sweat towel from his waist to wipe his face: "Mr. Zhang, please say something!"
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and said: "Miss Song is not happy with you making decisions for others, so just stop thinking and stop talking.
If Tuhu thinks the price is low, they will go to Manager Han themselves."
Seeing that Xue Zhuang was listening, he added, "You and Manager Han are Miss Song's right-hand men. From now on, Ruijin Town will not be able to prosper without your efforts.
But since Han Ming is from Baolinju, Miss Song will trust him more. If you don't want to be disliked, you'd better have a good relationship with Han Ming.
I'm just being a peacemaker, so don't worry too much about it."
Xue Zhuang shook his head: "The old man still doesn't believe in Xue, but he still has some confidence."
Mr. Zhang has a good relationship with him, at least better than Han Scarface.
Mr. Zhang lowered his voice and said, "Master Xue, now there are dozens of military households.
If you offend Song Liyun, the defense may have to be replaced!"
Xue Zhuang froze on the spot, not even noticing that the sweat towel in his hand slipped.
