"Fan Qing is saying that a fourteen-year-old boy runs a fruit wine workshop that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and has made tens of thousands of dollars in revenue in just two months?"

With Fan Zhongyan's narration, Zhao Zhen, who was still a little angry, gradually calmed down, and became fascinated by the "story" in Fan Zhongyan's mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Exactly."

"But if it is as Qing said, although this winery is well operated, it has caused the price of lard in Dengzhou to soar, and it is not worth boasting about, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true that Dengzhou oil is expensive, and the minister and Yin Zhu were also worried about this at the beginning, but the young man gave me an account."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen is interested, what account can a Mengtong calculate?

"Now in Yanhefang, there are less than 100 helpers and an annual output of less than 50,000 catties of new wine, but the income of fruit farmers in Dengzhou has nearly doubled this autumn!"

Zhao Zhen was shocked.

But I was immediately relieved that this fruit wine called Zuixian was selling well, and the fruit farmers were naturally the first to benefit.

Fan Zhongyan continued: "And in order to expand production, Yanhefang has implemented a new management method. ”

"By what means?"

"Yanhefang has signed a fruit supply contract with the fruit farmers in advance, and the fruit farmers will not have to worry about the sales of the fruit in the next few years."

"For those tenants who want to open up mountains to plant fruit trees but have no capital, Yanhefang also lends farmers at very low interest rates to encourage fruit planting. It is preliminarily estimated that more than 10,000 acres of fruit trees can be planted in Dengzhou next year; Three years later, when the new trees bear fruit, the production capacity of Yanhefang will reach 700,000 catties; Five years later, it can exceed 1.5 million catties. ”

"One and a half million catties!" Zhao Zhen didn't react a little. If this private winery can produce millions of wine, what a big scene?

"Yes, one and a half million catties!" Fan Zhongyan solemnly repeated the number. At the beginning, when he heard this number, he was really shocked.

"One and a half million catties of fruit wine, at least 20,000 acres of fruit forests are needed, which solves the livelihood of 7,000 tenant farmers."

"Seven thousand?" Zhao Zhen's expression became solemn.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, there are 10 million registered households in the Great Song Dynasty, with a population of more than 20 million. Seven thousand households is more than 15,000 people, which is by no means a small number.

"In addition to fruit farmers, there are also pig farmers, according to the price of lard purchased by Yanhefang, pig farmers will charge nearly the same amount more per live pig. The huge profits have led more farmers to raise live pigs in order to make huge profits. Five years later, the demand for pigs in Yanhefang alone was as high as 7,500 per year. According to the average annual slaughter of three live pigs per household, 2,500 households can be raised. ”

There are 2,500 households, and more than 5,000 people have food to eat, and together they are 20,000 people.

This is not the end, Fan Zhongyan continued to list:

"Two thousand more drinkers are needed. Your Majesty knows that drunkards are scarce everywhere, and their salaries are much higher than those of ordinary servants. One winemaker can support a family, and these two thousand winemakers are the breadwinners of more than 2,000 households. ”

“....”

"Five hundred people are needed for oil refining, jar loading, and porters."

“....”

"Another transport flat boat transport to various places, this number is difficult to count...."

"From fruit planting to the transportation and sales of wine, all kinds of things are added together, and a winery can bring tens of thousands of Song people."

Here, Tang Yi is playing a rural cooperative system in later generations.

The winery lends money to farmers to plant fruit trees. First, to ensure the supply of raw materials; Second, it also sought a way out for those landless and proletarian tenant farmers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The centralized operation of the liquor production model has also attracted a large number of self-produced individuals to move closer to it, and then form a larger scale.

This set of things is at least hundreds of years beyond this era, even if some people understand and do this in today's Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely not as big and good as Tang Yi.

.....

"The minister has carefully calculated, after five years, a single Yanhefang and the industries derived around it, Dengzhou can increase the money by 300,000 yuan every year in terms of liquor tax, agricultural tax, commercial tax, and trough tax."

"300,000 times!" Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly, he was completely shocked.

The court's annual income is only 60 million yuan, and a wine shop can bring 300,000 yuan in taxes and taxes, how can he not be surprised!? This is already equivalent to the annual coin given to the Liao State every year.

"As Qing said, that young man named Tang Yi is really a genius."

Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly: "Not to mention a genius, Yin Zhu gave him an apt nickname - Demon!" ”

"Demon ......"

Zhao Zhen said in his heart, if there were more such demons, then he would not have to worry about financial and tax matters. If it weren't for the court's difficulty in making ends meet in the past few years, he wouldn't have to reform hard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help asking: "Although this matter is a good thing for the benefit of the people, what does it have to do with the resignation of the Qing?" ”

"It's a big deal!" Fan Zhongyan said in a deep voice: "The minister, like Your Majesty, when he first heard about the matter of Yanhefang, the first thing that came to mind was 'This matter is not proper!'" It's against people's livelihood. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded. Indeed, if Fan Xiwen hadn't calculated the account, his first reaction would have been that the price of oil was soaring, which was not good for the people.

"We only saw the most superficial things, and that demon did calculate a big account more than us, just in terms of wealth and business, the minister has never seen anything farther than Tang Dalang."

Zhao Zhen smiled ashamedly, "Didn't Qing say it, that's a demon." ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled, "Your Majesty knows how the minister noticed this young man?" ”

"The first time I met him, I was scolded by this kid...."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhenxin said that it was interesting, Da Song dared to scold Fan Xiwen, but there were not many.

"In his words, Qingli's new deal, bullshit, ending it early, is a good thing for everyone."

Zhao Zhen, who was still looking forward to it and wanted to hear it, turned green. This is scolding Fan Xiwen, this is scolding him, but he single-handedly promoted the Qingli New Deal.

Fan Zhongyan saw that Zhao Zhen's face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, wait for the ministers to come carefully." ”

So, Fan Zhongyan elaborated on Tang Yi's class theory and Zhao Zhen that day. Hearing the cool breeze on Zhao Zhen's back, how could such a remark be made by a fourteen-year-old Meng Tong? What kind of demon is this, it's a demon star.

"What really moved the minister was what he said later."

"What?"

"He said that Song's illness has been cured, and it is difficult to heal it by relying on the words of a few people in the court."

"Not above the court? Where's that? ”

Fan Zhongyan shook his head, "At first, the minister didn't know, but after seeing the rise of Yan Hefang with his own eyes, the minister seems to have a little vague understanding.."

"Your Majesty, think about it, a fruit wine workshop can connect the land of a state and drive the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, so what if it is anything else?"

"Tang Dalang also said that when the Great Song Dynasty connected the south to the north, and the east and west were connected, when we jumped out of the primitive economic system of the ancestors, the Great Song Dynasty also had a weapon more terrible than a million male soldiers."

"What weapon?!"

"Money!"

"Money?"

"Yes, money!" Fan Zhongyan nodded heavily, "According to Tang Dalang's words, it is a peerless sword that covets the world, a demon knife that kills people without seeing blood." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Chen can't figure it out, even Tang Dalang has only one concept. Therefore, the minister had to keep an eye on him, while finding the way to save the Song Dynasty outside the court, and on the other hand, straightening the child so that he would not go astray into a strange path. ”

“....”

Zhao Zhen didn't understand until this moment that Fan Xiwen was really not trying to blackmail him, nor was he going to abandon him. His heart is not dead, his blood is not cold, he just wants to take another way to serve the country.

"The glory of the holy grace, the minister dare not forget, and the minister does not dare to resign from the country's troubles. However, the minister wants to serve the country in another way, and this time we lost, but sooner or later, His Majesty will re-talk about the way of reform, and the minister wants to help His Majesty sow more seeds into the hearts of future generations! ”

.....

sent Fan Zhongyan away, Zhao Zhen sat in front of the case and did not move for a long time.

On the one hand, Fan Zhongyan's loyalty made him feel very relieved, and on the other hand, he was really reluctant to put Fan Zhongyan back to his hometown. As he said at the beginning, he has been a king and a minister for decades, in addition to the friendship between master and slave, there is also the feeling of mentor and friend.

"Your Majesty..."Li Bingchen stood with him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but call the emperor lightly.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen came back to his senses.

"The queen and her eldest brother are asking to see each other behind the palace, do you see, see, or not?"

"The queen is here?" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and only after a pause did he react, "Then don't let them in, how can you not see it." ”
