Chapter 907 Autumn Harvest
A general has a good reputation, and by the way, his family has the credit of those who do business, he will be raised. On the contrary, if people in the family make mistakes, they will also be implicated.
Therefore, the system established by Youzhou is very clever. It is prosperous and both prosperous and lose. If you want to be a bad apple, you must consider whether you can bear the price.
Situ En told Wei Li about his idea. Wei Li agreed to improve the treatment of some soldiers, and letting the soldiers undertake construction tasks help keep confidential.
When the matter is negotiated, Weili will send someone to transport the funds and the required materials.
Zheng Derong found that his energy in the local area was huge before the merchants poured in.
But after the merchants came over, he saw how rich these people were and kept spending money, as if they were spending money instead of money.
He didn't know that the purpose of these people was to occupy favorable conditions first, considering that Youzhou would definitely include this area within Youzhou's sphere of influence in the future.
Taking advantage of the fact that the land is not in Youzhou now, so we can take it first and build houses provide evidence that it is beneficial to their future competitiveness.
The places occupied by Youzhou have very strict control over the land authority and there is no private land. The reason why they occupy it would be exchanged for exponential benefits after Youzhou intervenes.
After all, it was the merchant who occupied it first, developed it and operated it. In this case, Youzhou adopted the solution to spend money to buy back the land.
There is not much loss for merchants, and the future rent is not worth mentioning at all for the value of the land sold.
Zheng Derong didn't know the purpose of the merchants, so he felt a lot of pressure when he saw that they spent money like flowing water. If he knew that he might be selling the money, he would have to participate, but unfortunately he didn't know.
As for whether Youzhou will take the same method as the merchants thought, it is actually OK. The businessmen’s idea hit Li De, not about a matter of courage but about this kind of win-win situation.
Businessmen participate in urban construction and will benefit Youzhou in future development. The starting point of management from without foundation and from a city with foundation is different.
It is not true that businessmen take advantage of it. After all, merchants spend a lot of money and materials, so why do people from Youzhou want to take it for themselves when they come here?
In Li De's opinion, this kind of behavior is not allowed. What businessmen do is within the rules and does not involve damaging the interests of Youzhou.
For Li De, something that can be solved with some money is not a problem.
The fishing village where the Zheng family is located does not have a name yet. It is not possible to use the name of the Zheng family fishing village in the past now because the Zheng family is no longer the richest person in the area.
In addition, the fishing village no longer looks the same now. It can be said that the level of the town may reach a real city level in the future, and the name is essential.
After Youzhou intervenes, the naming matters of the local government are no longer related to the affairs of the local government. Anyway, they can't control anything.
After consulting Weili, Zheng Derong decided to let the merchants name it here by themselves. At present, the Youzhou forces have not really occupied this place, so it is naturally difficult to participate in the naming of the city.
"President Wei, from now on, this place will be called Fucheng."
"Just make a decision, the name Fucheng is very good."
"I'm here today to say goodbye. After the dock project is very smooth, just contact the person in charge for handover."
Wei Li stayed in Fucheng for nearly three months and calculated the time to wait for him to return, it should be the time for the autumn harvest.
The autumn harvest season is one of the most important things of the year. Being able to see a full warehouse of grain is their confidence in Youzhou.
Not only Youzhou is waiting for the autumn harvest, but Li Yuan in Chang'an is the same.
But if you compare it, the gains of both sides will be huge.
This is the first time that Youzhou New City District has gained. Most of the people here have joined later. They worked hard for a year to make a profit by farming.
The land they reclaim is not only the land allocated at home, but also the public land they apply for cultivation will be paid according to the worker. There is also a way to settle the contract, which is to contract 20% of the total land harvest will be their income.
If the contractors increase the yield of fertile land will gain more benefits. Many people who just come here choose to settle money for insurance, while those who dare to take risks choose the second settlement method.
How the harvest determines how much extra they can get.
20% of the additional income does not include expenses, and the fertilizers used for public reclaiming land are all produced by the city guards.
After Weili returned from Fucheng, the autumn harvest happened to be the first time. There was a lot of land outside Youzhou. In order to ensure the harvest was completed smoothly, the city guards specially dispatched vanguard troops to help.
Sending vanguard troops is not about helping for no purpose, but it is mainly about creating a "one-one-family" relationship.
At the critical moment, the reputation of the vanguard soldiers will deepen the people's impression of the vanguard soldiers. They are not just weapons used to conquer battles, but they are all soldiers from the people.
The whole country mobilized in Youzhou City, and when the land contracted by merchants was harvested, workers were directly hired to help with the harvest.
The department in charge of agriculture in the Chengshoufu also sent people to start harvesting new crops in the experimental fields, and then organized people to purchase merchants who plant new crops to purchase more plants.
Li De's way of promoting new crops is to focus on reserve seeds first, and then plant them through merchants. Some of them will be acquired by defending the city, and the remaining part of the merchants will continue to use them as seeds.
After repeated waits for the merchants to keep enough seeds in their hands, they can take out the new crops and distribute them to other merchants for planting.
It will only be launched for sale when the yield of new crops reaches a certain amount that can be satisfied with the retention and cultivation.
The promotion process is very difficult, especially for merchants, it will be very rewarding to sell seeds only, but it will be amazing to have Youzhou as their backing to win over their relationship for several years.
The seeds obtained from Europe have only started to be planted, and the reserves are definitely not as good as those of the previous ones, but the yields of some crops are really amazing.
Especially potatoes, the yield of planting with fertilizers is several times higher than that of each acre of land.
The attempts of the merchants have made them sure that their investments are successful, and several have begun to cultivate these new crops, which will be several times the size of the current land planted.
All the merchants who want to be large-scale producers have placed new crops in the new urban area, and there is still a lot of land waiting to be reclaimed. I am very excited to think about the future.
The end of potatoes did not surprise Li De. Who told him that this would happen long ago? It would be a bit early to put these crops on the market. It was completely impossible to meet the needs of the people in Youzhou City.
