055 A penny is hard to beat a hero
When they left, there were three people, and when they came back, they became a large group of people, all of whom were children, which was very busy with the princess and Mama Wang. First of all, you have to arrange someone to help the children take turns bathing, and you have to find someone to change clothes, clean the room, and cook......
"Do you think that Madame should be loved? I used to call friends all day long, but I never thought of the lady at home and let her stay in the empty room alone. Then God punished me and made me insane, and I lost all my memory. However, the lady did not annoy me, bully me, or harm me, and still did her best to protect her husband in front of the official family and family. Go and tell these children that you can be naughty and distressed in the future, but you must not embarrass the lady, and I will not spare you if I find out. ”
It was originally a very ordinary thing, but it made Hong Tao feel emotional. The princess did not ask her husband where he had gotten so many children back and what he was going to do.
Hearing that Lian'er said that the colt had been adopted from the Salesian Bureau, she immediately became busy, as if she had no thoughts, no opinions, no likes or dislikes, and her husband thought whatever she wanted.
This reminded Hong Tao of his wife and children, although they are not as docile as the princess, and they will cooperate to resist or something from time to time, but in essence, they are basically obedient, but the form of expression is different.
His wife and children can't be protected for the time being, so let's use the princess as a stand-in, anyway, this is also a good-hearted woman, and it is worth selling her own efforts.
"Officials have always been like this?" Hong Tao's emotion made Fu Ji and Lian'er look at each other, the ancients' expression was more subtle, even if there is love, it is usually a poem to do a word or something, where is there a horse like a horse standing in the yard with an open mouth and love to shut up.
But the straightforward and explicit expression was more impactful, Lian'er's little face turned red, and her eyes became watery again. Fu Ji is not as easily moved as a little girl, but she is also shocked and can't quite figure it out.
"It's the same as before the illness...... I want to go and tell my wife, I must not let the officials be cured of madness, and in the future, no one from the medical hall will be allowed to step into the mansion for half a step, let alone the imperial doctor! ”
Hearing Fu Ji's question, Lian'er suddenly woke up and trotted towards the back garden. She didn't quite understand what love was, but she was sure that the colt was in good shape. Since it is good, it must be maintained, and all influences must be eliminated.
Hong Tao didn't know what his family thought of him, and he was too busy in his mind to take care of these delicate feelings at this time. Although the flower paste will not be mass-produced until next year at the earliest, there is no shortage of preparatory work in the early stage.
And these things basically have to be done by themselves, Fu Ji, Lian'er and the upcoming Xu Donglai can't help, such as the planning of the future farm and the development of new farm tools.
Both ash and rice sac flowers are sun-loving and water-loving plants, which are only cultivated in royal gardens and can employ a large number of laborers to water and fertilize, and once they are widely spread, especially when they do not occupy existing arable land, they cannot be operated in such a luxurious way.
Hong Tao did not want and could not set up a huge agricultural army to grow these crops, which would be too costly and too eye-catching. Once the ointment circulated in enemy countries, spies from Western Xia and Liao could easily discover that these things were made from the agricultural army controlled by the Great Song court.
In that case, not only would it fail to achieve the goal of silently weakening the enemy's national strength, but it would set itself on fire and force the two countries to unite against the Song Dynasty.
His method is more like the pre-purchase of agricultural products in later generations, Hong Tao will provide planting techniques and seedlings to qualified farmers in the name of a certain guild, and send special personnel to guide and monitor from time to time. When the agricultural products are harvested, they must be sold to the guilds under their control, and they are not allowed to leave the country.
In later generations, this is called the pre-purchase contract for agricultural products, Hong Tao is the pre-purchaser, and the farmer is the pre-sale party. In addition to seeds and technology, pre-purchasers usually provide a portion of the advance payment to help pre-sellers purchase suitable farm tools, pesticides, and fertilizers.
But in this era, the advance payment was saved, because the Song Dynasty society was more honest. Just like the Qingfeng Tea House next to Yanjin Bridge, you can lend expensive tea sets to guests for free to take away and use, as long as they are returned on time, no deposit will be charged, relying on the overall credit of the society.
Farmers also do not have the consciousness of receiving advance payments, they feel that someone is willing to provide seedlings, technical guidance is very good, plus the final harvest will be purchased by the pre-purchaser at the price negotiated before, which is equivalent to eating a reassuring pill, what kind of bicycle.
As for who should bear the losses caused by force majeure such as climate, natural disasters, insect disasters, etc., they have not thought about it at all. Can God's mistakes be avoided?
Farmers in the past dynasties who do not watch the sky to eat, natural disasters and man-made disasters are their own bad luck, how can you blame the pre-order party, naturally not by the pre-order party responsible.
Hong Tao hadn't really touched on these issues, but just listened to Wang Anshi's relay. This prime minister is really not just talking on paper, he was a magistrate for many years before he became the prime minister, and he used his methods to manage the local agriculture well, so there are new laws such as the Green Seedling Law, all of which are based on years of practical work experience. He still has a lot to say about the habitual thinking of the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty.
But the problem is that whether it is to provide seedlings or provide technical guidance, it needs money. Even if you are a retainer and a student like Fu Ji, if you don't pay others, people won't follow you.
Later, workshops for making candles and ointments were built, sales teams were trained and trained, and transportation and livestock were purchased, all of which were piled up with money.
Naturally, the Great Song Dynasty would not provide this loan, this matter was not the government affairs of the imperial court, in other words, the vast majority of the officials in the imperial court did not know about this matter at all, only the emperor and the two prime ministers understood it in their hearts. But they can only understand in their hearts that they can't influence the decision of the imperial court on the issue of funds.
The procedure of getting the treasury to pay for it is very cumbersome, and the prime minister and the emperor can call the shots, but it is not to the extent of saying a word, and the content of the project must be clarified to the relevant officials.
The Emperor's inner pockets could be of some help, but only some. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was very aggrieved, and he couldn't spend his own money as he wanted.
Once they found that the emperor had spent too much money, they immediately had to make noise in the court, forcing the emperor to publish the expenditure accounts, and they had to review them in public.
Originally, the plan of the ointment was to let all parties enter the shares, and the final income would be distributed according to the amount of shares. But these intellectuals cherish their feathers too much, and both the old and new parties are unwilling to get involved in this matter, for fear of becoming a lever for the other side's attack.
But the way to divide the money is quite thoughtful, that is, to control the source of the cultivation of rice sac flowers, and then let Hong Tao purchase it in the name of the people, just like buying grain.
In this way, they can advance and retreat freely, once something happens, they only need to say that the tenants have been abused by the horses and horses, and they will at most be responsible for not investigating, and there is no, and it is a big deal to catch a few big planters to top the mines.
But in this way, Hong Tao has to rely on himself to raise start-up funds, and he has to use less power of the imperial court, completely become a private enterprise, and have as little to do with the Great Song Dynasty as possible.
