Chapter 871: High Profit From Official Purchases

"If it weren't for the taxes collected from greenhouse vegetables, we wouldn't have the money to buy lime."

On the 220th, Bi Gou approved another sum of money to continue buying quicklime.

He regretted it. It was agreed that he would be in charge of the river and the cost of the boat would be borne by Lijiazhuangzi.

The two sides split the money in half. The boat needed repairs, and he still felt that he had taken advantage.

Who would have thought that the water network also needed maintenance? Quicklime looked cheap, but it was used in large quantities.

The lime mine in Lantian County was always burning, next to the cement burning.

The people bought it. Since Lijiazhuangzi's newspaper wrote about what acidic soil and alkaline soil were, the people knew why the land was not good.

The acidity and alkalinity of the soil were observed through various methods. If it was too acidic, quicklime should be used to sterilize it.

The saline-alkali land was soaked with water. No one planted saline-alkali land before, but someone used the water network to pour water into it last autumn, and it froze in winter.

When the weather gets warmer, the water will be released and the early-sown sorghum will be planted. It will take more than a month to soak slowly.

After soaking, deep plowing is done to plant sorghum. Sorghum is not expected to produce much sorghum rice. Before it matures, it is harvested and made into silage.

Lijiazhuang has many livestock, so silage is harvested.

Then another crop of soybeans is planted. Again, it is not expected to produce many beans, as long as they can grow, and the bean seeds are enough.

Pick some edamame to eat, and eat as many soybeans as you can produce in the end. Turn the bean seedlings into the field to continue to improve the soil.

The acidic soil is too acidic, and the people want to adjust it to weak acid and neutral soil, and then it will be a good field.

The fields around Jingzhao Prefecture are actually good, most of which are weak acid and neutral.

The bad land is not planted and is empty. All of them will be used this year.

Including natural pits, some people have discussed with the government to rent them for a few years to plant lotus.

Some water has been put into the pits, soaking the soil, and planting in two days. At that time, lotus seeds and lotus roots will be eaten. When the water is released, fish are put in and raised in it.

Quicklime should also be sprinkled for disinfection.

Bi Gou's Ministry of Revenue purchased a large amount of lime. The inventory of people who cooperated with Li Yi in Lantian County was almost cleared, and new lime was still being burned.

It takes a month from burning lime to selling lime.

It takes seven or eight days to burn it, then let it stand and crush it, and finally sell it.

One batch after another, one kiln after another.

Bi Gou cried poor and felt sorry for the money. No matter who asked, he said that the Ministry of Revenue had no money.

It looked very pitiful, but in fact the Ministry of Revenue still had a lot of savings.

"Do you want to ask Xiao Yi if he should pay this money?" Bi Gou felt that what was sprinkled into the water network was not quicklime, but exchange vouchers.

He felt that he had lost money. The river channel had invested more, and Li Yi's boat had invested less.

"I think it's okay." Song Jing supported, go, see if you can get the money?

"Wait until the evening." Bi Gou made up his mind. Didn't Li Yi clamor for everyone to use tricks on him? Come on, give me money.

Li Yi, who was remembered by Bi Gou, was counting money. He made money. The Ministry of Revenue was very rich, and he bought quicklime vigorously.

The quicklime alone brought in more than 60,000 strings of cash, and there is more to come.

"Boss, Liang, the shopkeeper, sent someone with gifts to thank you for taking them to buy land and do business." Song De looked very proud.

"It was agreed that it would pay back in two years and double in three years. Due to the increase in demand, it will pay back in one year. Now it is not a matter of doubling."

Li Yi has a good impression of the businessmen who formed a group to cheat people.

He did not spend a penny on the mining industry in Lantian County, while others each paid 1,000 strings of cash.

At the end of the first year, the tax rate of 10% filled the hole in the fiscal deficit of Lantian County.

The businessmen paid back their investment and had a small surplus.

The second year more than tripled, and it looks like it will continue to double this year.

Prepared mineral fertilizers, sold gypsum, cement, lime, papermaking additives, made fire-proof cloth, fired porcelain, jade found during mining...

Today, the Ministry of Revenue settled accounts. Li Yi earned 60,000 strings, and the merchants earned a total of 7,500 strings. Another 7,500 strings were paid to the Lantian County government office for tax.

However, it is estimated that this tax will be directly taken away by Bi Gou, because the Lantian County government office is too rich.

"Owner, they have made a lot of money. Do you want to..." Song De wanted to kick the merchants away and let Zhuangzi do it himself.

"Who will cooperate with Zhuangzi in the future? They have money, which can make other people excited. I plan to cooperate with them on another business."

Li Yi didn't need to consider it at all and rejected it directly.

Making money by using your own relationship to kick others away, what do others think?

The key is that these cooperating people believe in themselves and are easy to control, so that some people can get rich first, even though they were richer before.

"What business is it? Or does 80% of the profit belong to us?" Song De was very satisfied with the 80% profit.

Others provide money, the owner provides technology, the technology is worth 80%, and the gross profit is 80%.

"Support the breeding of people in the prefectures above Jingzhao Prefecture. Provide farmers with piglets and feed, and help farmers build pig pens.

At the same time, build a large breeding farm in the west of the city and manage it in a unified manner, otherwise the manor will do it itself.

There are too many things involved, and the manor is short of manpower and cannot continue to increase manpower."

Li Yi arranged the standardized breeding of live pigs mentioned earlier to the cooperating merchants.

When the time comes, the people in Jingzhao Prefecture and the surrounding areas will be able to eat more cheap pork, and merchants from other places are willing to learn and teach for free.

Now, except for Lijia Manor, which has its own pig farm, others are free-range.

Pork is the most in winter, and pigs are slaughtered at the end of the year.

Some people raise dozens of pigs in large pig pens, give birth, raise them, and sell them for money.

"I'll find someone to send them a letter and ask them to prepare."

Song De didn't care what Li Yi said about the deal, he wouldn't lose money anyway.

"Catch the pigs quietly, other people's big pigs also need to be alive, buy a little bit, buy too much at a time, others will raise the price."

Li Yi still has his own little thoughts, if he doesn't cooperate, he won't mind a little loss.

When cooperating with others, the cost of the partner can't be too high.

"I know, in fact, they are very smart." Song De agreed and ran out to find someone to pass the message.

...

In the evening, Bi Gou really came.

"Xiao Yi, you tell me, it's okay for you to cheat others, but why do you cheat me, an old man who is about to be buried."

Bi Gou took a sip of wine and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the hairtail, which was braised today.

"Old Bi, you came at the right time, there is a profitable business do you want to participate?" Li Yi didn't respond to Bi Gou's words.

He could guess what the matter was, he just made 60,000 strings of cash.

Bi Gou picked up the hairtail and said, "What kind of business is this? Don't tell me how to sell the fish in the water net."

"How can that be? The people can catch the fish in the water net by themselves. If they want to eat, they can eat. If they don't want to eat, they can sell it for money. You are not allowed to use small-hole nets."

Li Yi never considered the fish in the water net. He couldn't manage it.

People can fish and use scoop nets. It's unrealistic to send people to watch the entire Jingzhao Prefecture water network.

"What about the loss of money buying quicklime?" Bi Gou didn't care about the new business first. He wanted to seek justice.

"I used the money I earned to buy land, land in Tongzhou and Danzhou, to resettle 130,000 surrendered households, and I also had to provide various things."

Li Yi followed and complained. It was not easy for him!

Bi Gou squeezed his eyebrows with a "川" shape while holding the fish: "There are too many surrendered households, and it may be difficult to manage them. Do you need to send extra soldiers?"
