Chapter 714: Not Afraid of Trade Surplus or Deficit
On August 16, the people who had celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival were busy again.
The sorghum is cut from the root, and the upper ear is more than a foot long.
In the past, except for people who specialized in making brooms, the common people would basically not have so many brooms.
The sorghum stalks were worthless and were burned as firewood.
Nowadays, the people are cautious and cautious. They are waiting for Li Yi to come up with a good solution.
The people have such trust in Li Yi. They don't know what Li Yi will do, but they firmly believe that things cannot be wasted.
Sure enough, only one day had passed, and the newsboys started shouting.
"We are selling newspapers. Lijiazhuangzi recruits older people to help make things in each village."
"Selling newspapers, Lijiazhuangzi buys sorghum stalks and sorghum ears."
Previously, Lijiazhuangzi found someone to deal with cotton, rags, and waste paper.
But at that time, we were recruiting people who did strenuous work, and the elderly were not suitable.
As I get older, my work slows down and my eyesight becomes less clear. Now Lijiazhuangzi has prepared jobs for the elderly.
It was written in the newspaper that an old man helped knit things and gave the old man money according to the amount.
The other is an old man knitting things, and Zhuangzi collects them according to the quantity.
The former Lijiazhuangzi provides sorghum stalks, but the latter does not.
If you have some sorghum stalks at home, you can prepare them and sell them to Lijiazhuangzi. If you don’t have any at home, you can get sorghum stalks by yourself. There is no problem if you work alone.
The things made are frames, blues, brooms, brushes, mats, curtains...
Those who don't know how to do it can learn it by watching others make it.
The newspaper gave the method, and people who didn't know how to do it helped process the raw materials, and everyone worked on the assembly line.
The old people usually work, do farm work, and weave things, and some even weave cloth.
Generally, once they are made, they are sold in the market, but the price is not high.
"This is called decentralized intensive labor. From an industry perspective, in a region, purchasing power is limited, and a lot of time is wasted in rushing and waiting."
Li Yi explained to Li Longji.
Li Longji moved the small court gatherings in the court to Xingqing Palace. There was also a Xingqing Palace here. He only went to the imperial city for large court gatherings.
Naturally, I would live in Xingqing Palace, next to Chunming Gate. The city gate was not closed, and there was a military camp outside on the road to Lijiazhuangzi.
If there is any danger, Li Longji and his family can rush out and arrive directly at Lijiazhuangzi.
After the Umrah meeting this morning, Li Longji saw that nothing happened and went directly to Li Yi.
Li Yi told him about capital advantages.
"It's easy to collect, where to sell it?" Li Longji knew the business problems.
Obviously, so many things cannot be sold in Jingzhao Mansion, and the market is saturated.
"Sold to Khitan, Turks and Bohai. Tufan is willing to buy and sell to them. We are now engaged in economic and cultural exchanges with other places.
They can also collect things and sell them to us, and we can exchange them with each other.
I have low requirements, sell them handmade products at a low cost, and exchange them for their things, which can maintain a trade deficit for a period of time. "
Li Yi found a place to sell it. It seemed that he was the capital, but the people of Jingzhao Mansion made money.
The reason for the trade deficit is that he pays high labor hours to help people earn more before winter.
After he collects things in Khitan, Bohai, Xi and other places, he can sell them all the way back. Then he buys local things from places on the road and sells them in Chang'an.
There is no problem in the whole process, as long as the other party doesn't steal it.
"It can be transported to other places in Datang for sale." Li Longji felt that the external market was too small, and the demand within Datang was huge.
"Wherever we go, we impact the market of the same industry. If the price is high, the locals won't buy it. If the price is low, the little things made by the local people will not be sold."
Li Yi shook his head. He didn't want millions of brooms thrown away. The brooms made by others with great difficulty could only be used by himself.
"This year things made of sorghum stalks have been exported. What about next year?" Li Longji thought about the future.
"Next year we will not plant sorghum, but soybeans. We will raise insects to eat. The number of insects this year is limited, and they will be specially cultivated next year.
Next year, people will have more money and have consumption potential. Industries such as night barbecue will explode, and there will be a lot of consumption in nightlife. "
Li Yi had already planned that Jingzhao Mansion would not grow sorghum next year and would buy sorghum from outside if he wanted to eat it.
Everyone eats bugs together and increases consumption at food stalls.
Because I have money, in addition to buying things I need at home and saving some, I spend the rest.
If bug-eating becomes popular throughout Jingzhao Prefecture, the protein intake of the people in Jingzhao Prefecture will increase.
Li Longji frowned: "Brother, the yield of sorghum is high, and there is not enough supplementary grain."
"Isn't it time to plant new rice? Use new rice to make up for the reduced sorghum production. Next year's terraces will be planted in large quantities in Henan Province, so there will be no shortage."
Li Yi had long thought that sorghum yields more per mu than soybeans. On the whole, planting all beans and raising insects requires a lot of labor, so it is better to plant part of sorghum.
Li Longji slapped his forehead: "Yes, we will breed new varieties of rice next year and plant two crops a year. We can also plant other crops."
Feeling confident, Li Longji did not stay in Zhuangzi any longer, and turned back to Xingqing Palace.
The common people don't know what the upper class thinks, and the people in Jingzhao Mansion just find that there is endless work to do.
Each piece is displayed there, and as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make money.
"I've been eating well lately, three meals a day. I'm tired after working a lot. It's not okay if I don't have enough to eat."
"Eat meat, it's better to eat meat. Eat meat for the elderly at home. Let's go to work in Lijiazhuangzi and eat there."
"Wait until we finish all this, and we'll be busy in winter, so we won't have two days off in a year."
"You can stay home and sleep."
"That won't do. Others are rich, but my family is poor. Or it's because of laziness that people will scold us behind our backs."
"Not behind our backs, but in front of our faces."
The people discussed it, seemingly complaining, but actually showing off.
In Lantian County, Chang Sunxin held a newspaper in his hand: "Li's village has come up with a new method. Should we follow it?"
Recently, Chang Sunxin has made a lot of money, including spinning, grinding flour, and making canned fruits.
As soon as he saw that Li's village was taking action, he wanted to follow it.
This money is made cleanly, and it's different from the money embezzled and bribed when it's spent.
"Chang Sun, the inspector, can't learn. We don't know how to deal with all the things Li Yi wants. If we pay less, no one will do it. If we pay more, it will be a waste."
When Luo Oucheng heard that Chang Sunxin wanted to learn again, he quickly stopped him.
The other three people also nodded, saying that it was too dangerous, unless they knew how Li Yi would arrange it.
"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. It's a pity that the cotton can't be involved, otherwise it will definitely be beneficial."
Chang Sunxin waved his hand, looking very regretful.
He saw that cotton was important, but unfortunately it was under the control of the court, and individuals were not allowed to purchase cotton.
And even if cotton was planted, it would eventually be sold to the Li family farm or the court. Literature
