Chapter 558: Chu Mingyuan's Prosperity Sutra
Looking at the data collected from various places, as the chief manager of the Fengjun money bag, Wang Yongjiang was simply overjoyed, with the increase in farm income, the overall increase in grain in Fengtian increased by about 10%, and since the government directly controlled the farm, the controllable grain in his hands increased even more.
This is not only a matter of rapid financial growth, but also means the success of the farm model, more and more grain in hand, more and more immigrants can be recruited, which will form a virtuous circle in the entire three eastern provinces in the future, the population will increase, the development of agriculture, and then it will lead to the development of other industries, and the shili of Fengjun will increase exponentially!
"To put it mildly, I really didn't expect that in the first year, the yield of the farm will greatly exceed the traditional tenant model, and if the land conditions are better, it will only exceed more."
People who farm land know that in the first few years of the new land, the soil is not loose enough, the nutrients are insufficient, and the yield will not be too high.
"Mr. Iron Shrine, at the beginning of the year, we went to Liaoyang for disaster relief, which is also the first area to establish a farm, should we go again, see the actual situation, and find the reason for this miracle!"
"It is indeed time to go, sum up the experience, and next year will be fully rolled out in the three eastern provinces, the population of Jihei and Hei provinces is sparse, the land is vast, and it is easier to run a farm, to put it mildly, you have to bother more about this matter!"
"It's incumbent!"
After briefly explaining the affairs at hand, Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Tinglan went all the way south, and acted together with a little old man like Wang Yongjiang, there was no fun, Zhang Tinglan simply asked Zhou Xinyao out, and asked her to see the autumn scene. Scatter your mind.
As for whether it is to let the family relax, or whether he is pleasing to the eye, that is two words.
"To put it mildly, Mr. Fan Xudong and Uncle Song telegraphed, and he did not say that he would move the factory to the northeast immediately, but to inspect it first."
"This is normal, everyone has to investigate the environment first, but I am very confident in the investment environment in Fengtian, we can provide help that no one else can provide, and he will definitely be willing to stay!"
"My dad is coming over too!" Zhou Xinyao whispered: "He said that he would also look at the investment environment with Mr. Fan." Maybe you want to invest in Mukden as well. ”
"Invest in it, your family is the largest capitalist in Tianjin, as long as you are willing to invest in industry, I will definitely give preferential conditions, just for the face of Dr. Zhou." Don't change it! ”
"Zhang Cunyan, you are a big fool!" Zhou Xinyao suddenly said angrily: "Why are you so confused." My dad is here. People can't stay in Mukden! ”
"If you can't stay, you can't stay, what's the matter?"
"You?" Zhou Xinyao couldn't believe her ears, the two of them almost broke a layer of window paper, why did this guy still say this.
"Humble words, don't you care about me at all!" Zhou Xinyao was in a hurry, and couldn't help blurting out. There was a look of anxiety and annoyance on the little face. The pink fists were clenched, and the little face was flushed.
Zhang Tinglan saw that the beauty was angry, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, where do you want to go." My father is the Jilin Overseer, I can't always stay in Fengtian, deal with the things in front of me, I'll go to Jilin, this is my letter of appointment to you, if you're interested, you are the staff of the Jilin Overseer's Mansion! ”
Zhou Xinyao also reacted, she was fooled again, thinking of what she said just now, she was suddenly shy, and her face was pink, but she still took a look at the letter of appointment handed over by Zhang Tinglan, it turned out that Zhang Tinglan hired her as a health consultant in the name of the Overseer's Mansion.
"I'm shallow in medical skills, but I don't dare to take on such an important task, so you might as well ask for another master, right?"
"Doctor Zhou, how can you be presumptuous, besides, the treatment of diseases is not only about taking medicine and surgery, but also about treating physical diseases, but also about heart diseases, such as loneliness, loneliness, boredom, ......."
Zhang Tinglan was about to continue, but Zhou Xinyao had already lifted her foot and stepped on Zhang Tinglan's foot suddenly.
Yes......
Wang Yongjiang, who was reading a book in the next carriage, suddenly smiled: Young is good.
After the train arrived in Liaoyang, they went straight to the farm where the victims were settled, and in less than a year, earth-shaking changes had taken place.
Zhang Tinglan's first stop was to Chu Mingyuan's farm, this young man decided to stay here and help the victims do something, Zhang Tinglan originally thought it was just a momentary enthusiasm, but he didn't expect that he had persevered and had results.
In less than a year, his farm has repaid all the loans, becoming the first of all the farms to relieve the debt burden, and Zhang Tinglan is also very curious to know how they did it.
As soon as the group arrived at the periphery of the farm, they saw that all the peasants were busy, they were building houses, and a young man was directing them, far away, Zhang Tinglan recognized it as Chu Mingyuan at a glance, and these peasants also noticed them.
Chu Mingyuan also hurriedly ran over, his face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" ”
"Of course, it's to see if you're lazy, we made a military order at the beginning of the year, and now we're here to accept the results!"
"You can look at it casually, if there is anything you don't want to do, please give me some advice!"
Wang Yongjiang also looked Chu Mingyuan up and down on the side, for most of the year, the scholar who was originally a little white and tender has completely changed his appearance, his face and arms are tanned, the muscles on his body are also bulging, his skin is rough, and his clothes are covered with muddy water.
Just seeing this, Wang Yongjiang knew that this young man had definitely paid a lot of blood and sweat, and he was really doing things with an open mind, and he was also very satisfied: "Mingyuan, I heard that you repaid the loan in one year, and you did a good job, what valuable experience do you have, don't hide your secrets!" ”
Although Wang Yongjiang is only the governor of Fengtian. However, he is the first person in Zhang Zuolin's official faction, and the civil affairs and finances of the three eastern provinces are in his hands, and it is definitely not an easy thing to get his approval.
Chu Mingyuan's face was also a little panicked, and he said: "The governor has praised it falsely, it is nothing more than hard work, there will be no pie in the sky!" ”
"This sentence is worth gold, Mr. Iron Niche came here to understand how you do it, and what experience you have. In the future, it will benefit the entire three eastern provinces. ”
"No problem!" Chu Mingyuan said with a smile: "I must know everything, and I must say everything!" ”
They didn't look for any special conference room, but chose the courtyard where the grain was dried, and sat on the stones and tree stumps, surrounded by a lot of ordinary people, Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Tinglan are both informal people. The most rare thing is that Zhou Xinyao is the same, sitting on the stump with them. Didn't care in the slightest.
"Folks. We came here at the beginning of the year during the disaster relief, and now we are here again, not to give you any orders, but to hear your experience of getting rich. The whole Mukden, all the farms. You were the first to repay the loan, and you have achieved remarkable results, and everyone is doing well! ”
Wang Yongjiang said with a smile that most of the people present did not know that they had snatched such a first. When they heard it now, they all smiled heartily, and from the bottom of their hearts, they were all very happy. Of course, everyone also knows that the first hero to create such a miracle is Chu Mingyuan, and everyone respects him more and more.
"Governor, Mr. Zhang, to have these achievements, all of them are the hard work of the big guys, and there are really not many things I can do!" Chu Mingyuan first said politely, and then continued: "We have actually calculated, if we want to rely on farming alone, it does take five years to repay the loan, and it will take a bumper harvest every year, so if we want to get rid of the burden quickly, we must engage in some other industries, and our first choice is farm tools." ”
Tens of thousands of victims, as well as a large number of tenant farmers, have been given land, although the government promised to allocate them farm tools, but the gap is still quite large, Chu Mingyuan and they locked their eyes on farm tools early. It just so happens that there are two blacksmiths in their group, and they can borrow some manpower from other farms, and there is no shortage of blacksmiths, the most lacking is iron!
Now it is not compared to later generations, many people's farm tools are still wooden, only a layer of iron is wrapped on the side, the reason is very simple, that is, there is a serious shortage of iron.
After Chu Mingyuan learned about these situations, he organized a group of young people to go directly to the surrounding counties to buy scrap iron, iron pots, stoves, kitchen knives, as long as there is iron, this kind of work, to put it bluntly, is to collect rags, to endure the white eyes of others, and face all kinds of troubles.
When they first did it, almost everyone thought of them as Hanako, and at that time it was still cold, and as soon as they went out, it would take a whole day, and when they were hungry, they could only gnaw on a nest head that they had brought with them, which was cold and hard, and they couldn't even find hot water.
Finally received the scrap iron, they didn't have any tools, they completely relied on their shoulders to carry back, the heavy scrap iron, pressed on the shoulders, a walk is dozens of miles, many people's hands and feet are infected with frostbite.
Speaking of this most difficult beginning, Chu Mingyuan and the people around him were a little sad, and the corners of their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Mr. Zhang, several times we passed by the door of the big family, they let the dogs bite us, they simply treated us as beggars, I really wanted to give up at that time, anyway, I honestly waited for five years, everything was fine, but fortunately, I gritted my teeth and survived. We shipped back the first batch of more than 100 catties of scrap iron, to create the first batch of hoes and shovels, before we went out to sell, many neighboring farms took the initiative to come to buy, a handful of haode shovels can earn an ocean, we finally have the first income in our pockets! ”
"Then the big guy is more energetic, more and more people collect scrap iron, and go farther and farther, and hire three blacksmith masters from other farms, and when we sell the third batch of farm tools, we have hundreds of oceans, no longer need to collect scrap iron, we can directly buy a little good iron, and the farm tool workshop also has a name, and when the spring ploughing begins, we have earned more than 2,000 oceans."
Listening to Chu Mingyuan's narration, Zhang Tinglan and they were also very happy, this young man's vision is very accurate, starting with farm tools is a very good choice, after the establishment of the farm, the farmers' enthusiasm for labor has increased unprecedentedly, but there are no suitable tools in their hands, they will definitely be willing to buy, and due to the lack of steel, the profits of farm tools are also very rich.
Chu Mingyuan continued: "After the spring ploughing is over, we decided to continue to operate the farm tool workshop on the one hand, and on the other hand, use those profits to buy some horse-drawn carriages, and be responsible for purchasing all kinds of agricultural products, mountain goods, poultry, eggs, sesame oil, mountain delicacies, furs, and so on. In fact, other farms are also trying their best to repay the loan as soon as possible, everyone is thinking of ideas, produced a lot of things, the result is the lack of sales, we helped them to solve, pull these things to the city to sell, in fact, it is a good thing for everyone, a summer down, we made a profit of more than 10,000 oceans, the loan was repaid, the house began to be built, in fact, as long as you find the market, and pay a little more sweat, there is nothing that can't be done!
