In the past few days, the Ning family has become a talking point among the people of Jiangzhou City like a joke.
Children have poor mental endurance. Mrs. Ning was unhappy when her son came back these days. She was worried that others' ridicule would delay her son's studies, so she deliberately sent her son to her brother's house to find a better one in the imperial city.
Studying in the academy.
After discussing this matter with Mr. Ning, he didn't want to send his child to the imperial city, and he didn't even want to stay in Jiangzhou City.
If he were the eldest son of Ning, and the roots and foundation of the Ning family were here, he would want to sell off the property and divide it into two houses, buy a house in the imperial city, and concentrate on studying for the exam.
The couple discussed it and decided to send their son to the imperial city when the weather got cooler.
It's hot now, and it's easy to get heat stroke if you're traveling hard.
After three or five days, the restless villagers of Chashan Village began to clean up the dead branches on the tea mountain. The plant ash was kept as fertilizer. Those tea trees that were a little smoked could no longer be used and had to be pulled out.
Seeing that the formerly green tea mountains had turned into black and bare, the people of Chashan Village were also very distressed.
On this day, the master of the government office came to the door of the Shen family.
It turns out that there are five idle tea mountains under the government office, which are still connected together. However, the tea mountains are owned by the public and cannot be sold, but they can be rented to her at a low price. The requirement is that the workers recruited must be from Jiangzhou City.
people.
The idea of Master Ji and Master is that the tea mountain is empty anyway, so it is better to rent it to Shen Wan. No matter how much money she can make from the tea mountain, it can provide one more job for the people of Jiangzhou anyway.
After hearing the master's explanation of his purpose, Shen Wan thought about it and asked, "How many years can you rent it to me?"
Naturally, it won't work if the life is short, because it is an idle tea mountain, and she will definitely have to take care of it and replant tea trees. This will not only take one or two years.
The master said: "I have discussed this matter with you, sir. Do you think ten years is good?"
"Ten years is fine, but how do you calculate the rent?"
Shen Wan asked.
"In terms of rent, renting one tea mountain for ten years is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver, and renting five tea mountains is equivalent to five thousand taels."
Dong Shen's family is very wealthy, so she shouldn't think that five thousand taels of silver is too much! The price is quite low, but the tea mountain is of no use in their hands, and it can't increase the government's income. If it is rented out, it can collect a rent of five thousand taels.
, which is quite an income for the government.
Although Master Ji and the others raised the rent of five thousand taels, Shen Wan still felt that the rent was a bit unreasonable.
Tea in Jiangzhou is not profitable because of overproduction, causing merchants from other places to lower prices.
If their tea leaves were eliminated from the procurement process and shipped directly to other places for sale, would the price still be so low?
Of course not.
Moreover, this tea can also be made into tea bricks and tea cakes and sold to other countries.
So she is confident that while creating more jobs, she will also make a lot of money.
If she makes a lot of money from the government's tea mountain, will the prefect think it's a pity that the tea mountain is rented to her so cheaply?
Is there anyone who wants to make an issue out of this?
Shen Wan is a person who is very afraid of trouble, so before doing anything, she will carefully consider various things that may happen and avoid them in advance.
"I think we might be able to calculate the rent in another way."
Shen Wan looked at the master with clear eyes and said.
The master was startled. Another way? Is this still too expensive?
