Chapter 189： Tap capital

Wu Changqing continued to wander on the street, savoring the real life hundreds of years ago.

After shopping for a while, he met Sun Daoming in a rice shop.

It seems to be a chance encounter, but Sun Daoming is waiting here deliberately.

A porcelain shop where Wu Changqing visited before was Sun Daoming's property.

The shopkeeper employed by the Sun family recognized Wu Changqing and reported the news to Sun Daoming.

Then Sun Daoming went to his own rice store to make chance encounters.

He took great pains to meet Wu Changqing and see if he could get one or two cooperation projects.

The BMW car dealership of the Tong family, the perfume soap shop of the Chen family, and the cloth factory of the Wu family are all businesses that Sun Daoming is jealous of. He also wants to squeeze in and get a share of the pie.

Not only him, but other businessmen in Nanjing have this idea, but they suffer from no way.

"I have seen Wu Guogong."

Sun Daoming hurriedly saluted, but Wu Changqing signaled that he didn't need to pay more. Along the way, he has been recognized several times, but those who recognized him have guessed that he is visiting privately on WeChat, so they are very acquainted without fanfare.

"What's your price of rice?"

Wu Changqing grabbed a handful of rice and asked.

"Return to the Governor, the rice here is divided into several price ranges according to the quality and taste. The first-class rice is about five dollars and one stone, the medium-sized rice is four dollars and one stone, and the inferior rice only costs three dollars and one stone."

Sun Daoming didn't dare to lie in order to claim credit, all he said were the real prices.

The reason why I dare to say this is mainly because his rice price is 20% cheaper than that in the north, and his price is already considered to be a good face for Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing looked at the three kinds of rice separately and found that the top-quality rice was large and plump. Medium-sized rice grains are also large, but the shape is round, and the taste of this kind of rice is slightly worse.

The inferior rice is finely crushed rice grains, and some even rice noodles, with some rice bran in it. This is because the rice milling technology is backward and the rice milling is too broken.

This kind of rice is generally used to feed chickens and ducks in later generations, and people definitely don't want to eat it.

"What is this rice milling tool? How come the rice is crushed so much that the rice bran is not cleaned up?"

Wu Changqing asked, he hadn't paid attention to this, and he really didn't know how the ancient people milled rice.

"Master Hui, I use a water-powered stone mill. Because the water flow is sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle, resulting in unstable power, this will happen to the rice grains that are ground. This inferior rice with a small amount of rice bran is actually the most popular among the people. Love because it's cheap."

Sun Daoming's words surprised Wu Changqing a little. He thought that the tools of this era were purely handmade, but he didn't expect that the ancients had also used water power on a large scale.

But it’s actually quite easy to understand when you think about it. For a large grain merchant like Sun Daoming who sells millions of catties of grain every year, how long will it take to grind rice by hand.

"This kind of rice milling technology is too backward. I will get an advanced rice milling machine someday to reduce the cost of rice milling."

Wu Changqing said that he now urgently needs to manufacture a large number of machinery to free up more labor.

Despite the fact that the population in his jurisdiction is close to 10 million, human resources are very scarce, because most people have to farm. Only by releasing more labor can the establishment of various large factories be promoted.

Sun Daoming was surprised to hear that water-powered rice milling is already a very advanced rice milling technology. In the north or other places where rivers are lacking, only donkeys or manpower are used.

However, such advanced technology is lagging in Wu Changqing's eyes, and he even said that more advanced machines would be built.

Sun Daoming couldn't imagine what kind of machine it was.

When someone else said something like this, he couldn't help but ridicule a few words a long time ago.

But now it was Wu Changqing who said this, but he didn't dare to doubt it. After all, Wu Changqing has done enough miracles, and another miraculous rice mill seems to be no big deal.

"Master Guo cares about the people, and it is the blessing of the people. I am afraid that it will cost a lot to make this machine, and the villain is willing to contribute a meager effort. Only after the machine is manufactured by the Lord Guo, it can be used by the villain. "

Sun Daoming said, of course he didn't have too much money and nowhere to spend, but mainly wanted to sell Wu Changqing as a favor. As long as he participates in the capital contribution, and when the machine comes out, Wu Changqing must be embarrassed to lose his share.

Judging from Wu Changqing's previous behavior, it is clear that he is not a stingy person.

"Oh, it seems that your business is doing well and you have made a lot of money. Since you have assets, it happens that several of my projects require a lot of investment. You can think about it. Maybe you can’t make a lot of money. , But it’s okay to make a little money."

Wu Changqing needs a lot of early investment to make matches, salt, and cigarettes, but he does not have so much spare money. His money must be used to support the army first.

Because the tax set by him is relatively low, the tax he receives is far from enough to support the army, and it depends on the profit of perfume, soap, cloth and other commodities.

However, the income from those commodities is only enough to maintain the army and the administrative system. If he wants to reinvest in other areas, he has to find ways to raise funds from the private sector.

His low-tax policy, in fact, Gu Yanwu, Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng and others do not understand it, because it is completely unnecessary.

Even if taxes were increased a little bit, the people in Jiangnan could still survive, and the taxes in other places were much higher than in the areas under their control.

In the war-torn era, the most important thing is to expand the army and unify the world. For this goal, it is understandable that some people should be sacrificed appropriately.

At least, Qian Qianyi and others can understand.

However, Wu Changqing is determined not to increase taxes, and constantly thinks of ways to reduce pressure for the people.

I have to say that in terms of treating the people, there is no one in power in the world that Wu Changqing has done so well.

This has also resulted in Wu Changqing's regime being relatively poor at the moment, supported by the profits of those new commodities.

However, in Wu Changqing’s territory, the people and businessmen are wealthier than other places. Those people are not short of money. Some big landlords and businessmen have buried hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them in the cellar. silver.

It doesn't make any sense to bury the money in the cellar. It only makes sense to circulate it when it is dug out and put into the market.

Therefore, Wu Changqing encourages business, encourages invention and creation, just to let those big landlords and big businessmen invest their money in the market.

"Do you dare to be greedy for profit if you work for the grandpa, as long as you don't lose money, the villain will do his best to help the adults."

Sun Daoming suppressed the joy in his heart and showed his loyalty.

Not to mention that there is still a small amount of money to make, even if it is a loss, he has to agree.

Don’t you see Tong Jiahu, you’re going to bankrupt your family and you’re going to smash that kind of unprofitable cement, in order to gain the favor and support of Wu Changqing, and then the right to produce and operate BMW cars.

The current BMW car business has long been **** off by countless businessmen. Among them are hundreds of times the profit, which businessmen will not vomit blood when they meet? There is a kind of profitable business, called the business of other people's homes.
