Chapter 3448: The Glittering Road Is Under Your Feet
"Some time ago, I came to my house every day to help my wife look after our son." Lu Su sighed and said, "Then I went to find your wife."
"My wife?" Chen Xi's mind turned around and he understood that he was talking about Cai Yan. He shook his head repeatedly, "That's not my wife. I can't afford to marry her. I can't afford it."
"Okay, if it's not, then it's not." Lu Su waved his hand, not bothering to pay attention to Chen Xi's excuse. If you say it's not, then it's not. Anyway, what I think, that's my business.
"Look at the girl from the Zhang family." Chen Xi sighed and handed the things to Lu Su, "She is down-to-earth and has a very clear understanding of her abilities."
"Keeping bees, I remember Wei Shuo mentioned this." After reading the official document, Lu Su handed it to Liu Yan and said, Liu Yan had discussed related issues the year before last.
At that time, the discussion was about ink printing, that is, the problem of wax plates. Later, Jiang Qi came from Fufeng and personally helped Liu Yan solve the problem of wax plates.
"Ziping said before that he wanted to promote beekeeping, but at that time Zichuan was working on a large ranch, so I recommended him to start raising pigs." Liu Yan said awkwardly.
Jiang Qi can be regarded as the first named beekeeper in history. He truly brought semi-wild breeding into the era of artificial breeding. He is also considered a celebrity.
However, Chen Xi was mainly engaged in animal husbandry at that time. He could handle more or less honey, but meat was still very important, and Jiang Qi's ability to raise pigs was also famous in history, so Chen Xi asked Jiang Qi to raise pigs.
How can I say this career? Jiang Qi is actually quite satisfied with it.
Chen Xi raised his head and thought about it. It seemed that there was such a thing. He knew about beekeeping at the time, but compared to honey, Chen Xi felt that pork was more realistic.
In fact, Chen Xi engaged in a lot of strange animal husbandry, such as raising chickens and ducks. In the early days, these two were very important, but later Chen Xi transferred them to the local government, and the government mainly raised geese.
After all, geese are larger and easier to raise than chickens and ducks. The most important thing is that Chinese geese are a heterogeneous species of wild geese. They can also be hybridized with wild geese to produce gray geese that can fly.
In this era, live geese were used as gifts for weddings. Although it was basically impossible for ordinary people to do this, they could only use substitutes.
This is a very good business in Chen Xi's opinion. In addition, geese are larger, less susceptible to disease, and their eggs are more nutritious. Chen Xi specially found someone to do some research, and finally came up with the finished gray goose, which is professional
Give gifts to those getting married.
Anyway, except for a very few people who can tell the difference between hybrid gray geese and wild geese, ordinary people can't see any difference between the two at all. Therefore, if Chen Xi sells live gray geese for five times the price, there will be no difference.
People think the price is too high.
This is the government's benevolent policy for newlyweds, and with so many people getting married every year, the business of selling gray geese as wild geese is simply endless.
Although the official has repeatedly stated that this is not a wild goose, it has been bred and cultivated, and it is close to an ordinary goose. However, this thing can fly, has the same gray fur as the wild goose, and looks very similar to the wild goose.
The taste is similar, this is Dayan!
This is the so-called added value. Anyway, as far as Gray Goose is concerned, its added value is several times higher than the original value, so there is no need to worry about selling it.
People who are planning to get married often go to the official to order a pair of gray geese. Well, even if the official calls them gray geese, it cannot change the name of the common people. They must be geese, after all, they are used to represent both parties during marriage.
How can a thing with unwavering love be a goose? It must be a wild goose. If it’s not a wild goose, I’m in trouble with you!
So the government has a ranch dedicated to raising so-called gray geese...
"Recall it. It would be good to promote it. After all, various industries need to be promoted with the development of the times. Once the early industries are stabilized, new industries can also be opened." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The inner palace wants to
Just do this, we will provide part of the manpower, give part of the money, and then just recover the funds. This business will definitely make a profit."
The Mi family and the Wu family both have sugar industries. Both parties plant a large amount of sugar cane in the south, but the annual sugar output is still not enough.
Chen Xi has also been involved in this industry. Mi and Wu are both Chen Xi's deputies in this matter. However, in the short term, sugar output is still a big problem.
As for honey, it is roughly one or two grades higher than white sugar, and it is a good business that can be used to target those who are rich.
To be honest, harvesting the small money of the landlord class is now Chen Xi's habit. After all, the current situation of the Han Dynasty. Although the major families were pried out by Chen Xi, Chen Xi did not attack these families wantonly.
To a certain extent, Chen Xi also helped a lot of major families, allowing them to be fortunate enough to follow the path of their ancestors.
This is also the reason why the major families are almost obedient to Chen Xi's requests, and even if they are orders that partially harm themselves, the major families are willing to consider them.
It’s not just that Chen Xi is powerful. Although being powerful is the basis for subduing the aristocratic families, being powerful is not the reason why the major aristocratic families give up the confrontation. If Chen Xi’s purpose is to completely eliminate the powerful people of the major aristocratic families and revolutionize his own life, then now in the Central Plains
The battle should have just been completed and reconstruction started, but that was not the case for Chen Xi from the beginning.
But precisely because it is not a revolutionary party, but a reforming party, it is inevitable that there will be limitations on certain issues. As the wheel of history moves forward, the hidden dangers caused by those limitations are gradually exposed, just like now, the development of society
The direction has begun to move towards crony capitalism.
Others may not realize this problem yet, because after Chen Xi took over, social stability has developed by leaps and bounds, and many problems have been covered up by the rapid progress of society.
So much so that people like Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu cannot see through the whirlpool hidden under the rolling torrent. After all, Chen Xi has thousands of years of accumulation and can see through the hidden facts in this rolling torrent, so there are some things that should be suppressed.
Already.
Chen Xi's thinking is very clear, which is to suppress. Even though the proportion of wealthy landlords from aristocratic families in the overall national economy is constantly declining, the reason for this is not that the ideal people as a whole overwhelm the wealthy landlords, but simply because
The GuoZiTou industry structured by Chen Xi has expanded the overall size of the cake.
In essence, the overall economic scale of the family is still growing, and the growth rate is even more exaggerated than before. It is just that it has shrunk in the face of Chen Xi's unscientific development method.
But those who don’t plan everything are not enough to plan for a while. Chen Xi also needs to consider that in the future, if the economic scale of ordinary people is not raised, it will be quite easy for the major families to steal the results. Who makes capitalism approximate, and proletarians
Classes are all different.
The more people there are, the more difficult it is to manage, and the more complex their thoughts are. Compared with the relatively clear goals of aristocratic families, the ideas of ordinary people can even be divided into dozens or hundreds of factions. Under this situation, Chen Xi would not have divided the various factions hundreds of years in advance.
Once the shape of the great family is corrected, it can only rely on heaven to maintain balance.
Just like now, Chen Xi tries his best to hang bridles on the big families, feed them all kinds of things, and tie them down. Maybe they will break free from these restraints sooner or later in the future, but under such a long buffer, the people
It’s time to awaken the people’s wisdom.
Compared to political and military constraints, Chen Xi still prefers economic constraints. After all, this kind of constraints is more stable and difficult to discover. It is also less likely for the family to have bad ideas.
After all, political and military constraints are imposed, and if one is not careful, the other party may develop a rebellious mentality and then develop the idea of confrontation.
[Slowly spend every penny these guys have. When the money they spend is locked up in future industries, even if they have ideas, they need to think about it carefully.] Chen Xi thought silently and began to secretly think
Put a halter on all the great families.
"That's it, let her go ahead and do it, give her one million dollars, send it back together with the official documents, and let her get it done before summer." Chen Xi turned this industry into a country without any politeness.
Of course, if Zhang Chunhua does not need Chen Xi to pay for the property, then Chen Xiguang can give him an approval instruction, but Zhang Chunhua has no start-up capital.
During lunch, Zhang Chunhua received the return of the official document, along with the one million yuan presented. It was not so fast originally, but when Chen Xi looked at it, the whole process was simplified to one step. At least Chen Xi could settle the account.
That’s it.
"Oh, it's done!" Zhang Chunhua was very happy and took the money note. This was the largest amount of money she had ever received.
"Keeping bees." Liu Tong looked at the official report, "But remember to keep a distance to avoid getting stung. It will be very painful."
"I will put it near Zhongnan Mountain. The locust trees over there are about to bloom." Zhang Chunhua said jumping up and down, "I have discussed it with people in advance, and now I just need the approval and payment, and now all
Done!"
"If honey is produced, I will also eat it." Si Niang said very happily.
"By the way, I also have a big business, Si Niang, I will have a very big industry soon!" Liu Tong said proudly.
"What industry?" Si Niang asked puzzledly, while Han Xin squatted aside and dug at the wall. He agreed to take me to Sanfu today, but he came back again.
"Follow me to find Cang Hou in the afternoon, and we'll find a professional to help!" Liu Tong said excitedly. She also has a lot of helpers. There is absolutely no chance that the boat will capsize. A bright and beautiful future is at her feet.
"Canghou, that's good." Si Niang nodded, remembering the strange things grown at Cookie's house. Many of them were quite delicious, and more importantly, they were very fresh.
