Chapter 492: The Moonlight Tribe of the Han Dynasty (first published by Qidian)
"I''ve disturbed my lord''s rest..." Cui Hou blinked his small eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.
As soon as Jia Qu left, Cui Hou came. It seemed that it was not just right, but that after waiting outside for a long time, after seeing the banquet end, he ran over to ask for a see.
“It’s okay.” Fei Qian smiled and asked the maid to prepare some thicker tea soup to refresh himself. As a leader, you must have this awareness, especially in a situation like this that has just begun. If you only know how to have fun all day long, give orders and throw things away, and be a **** of sleep, it is not the myth that you are immune to all DEBUFFs in the game. state, otherwise chaos will inevitably occur sooner or later.
I don’t know why, even though Fei Qian is younger than him, he seems to be very knowledgeable about everything and can’t solve any problem. Looking at Fei Qian’s gentle smile, Cui Hou’s uneasy heart is somewhat relieved. He came down a little, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Lord, I''m going to go to Hedong tomorrow to make purchases, but there''s one thing... we have to pay back the first batch of loan money..."
Originally, Cui Hou''s net worth was only 300 to 400 million, and he borrowed about 400 million, and then paid it in installments again, which was equivalent to borrowing 300 to 400 million again. Now, after about ten days, there is still money to borrow. Some subsequent payments should start to be paid one after another.
“Well, how many more do we have on hand now?” Fei Qian asked.
Cui Hou took out a thin piece of silk with writing on it from his sleeve and handed it over.
Fei Qian unfolded it and took a look. He clicked and suddenly felt like he would go to the ATM machine to check his account balance at the end of each month in future generations. Even in the dog days of summer, he could feel the rush of pain rushing up his back. A chill...
This money…
??It’s too frivolous. I didn’t expect that I would become a member of the Moonlight Clan in the Han Dynasty...
The original amount of more than one billion yuan, including loans, was cut off due to the accident in Hedong and Shaanxi, and a lot of goods were directly lost. Therefore, the goal of doubling Feng Feiqian''s original idea was not actually achieved. , just relying on the price difference of grain and grass, there was probably a profit of close to 400 million, but the recruitment and use of troops during this period was equivalent to more than 300 million yuan.
In other words, the money earned is basically spent again.
Most of them are grain and grass, which have been eaten, defecated, and then gone.
?Although we still have a large amount of leather and other materials on hand, the construction of Beiqu, Pingyang and Taoshan Xuemen has started at the same time...
There is no problem that grain and grass are hard currency, but this hard currency is cyclical. Except for the harvest period, it is constantly attenuating the rest of the time.
??The lunar eclipse of the Zheng soldiers has one stone and eight buckets, Beiqu has one thousand and four, Pingyang has more than five thousand, Yong''an has one thousand, and the Zheng soldiers consume more than 13,000 stones in one month;
The auxiliary army has one stone for the eclipse of the moon, one thousand for Beiqu, three thousand for Pingyang including the field troops, and eight hundred for Yong''an. The food requirement for one month is more than five thousand stone;
There are more than 11,000 people in Yong''an and nearly 20,000 in Pingyang. Although the people normally do not need to provide food and grass, but now these people have no food storage, that is, before the harvest, they still need ration support from Feiqian. In addition, to build Pingyang and Xuemen, the various handymen also need to be paid with grain and grass, so they need to spend about 8,000 to 10,000 dan every month...
That is to say, we need to eat 25,000 to 30,000 shi of food and grass every month, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan...
?This is just eating.
And this does not take into account the subsequent surge in prices and inflation.
Inflation is as fierce as a tiger.
?During the period of inflation, not to mention ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, even ordinary people in later generations may not know how to invest and make money. Most of the money they accumulated with their hard work was like groundhogs, digging holes and hiding it.
However, as prices rise, these ordinary people can only watch their savings gradually shrink. Whenever there is inflation, it is an opportunity for the upper class to plunder. In troubled times, people are not as good as peaceful dogs, and it has become a commonplace for people to lose their lives like grass. …
??Fei Qian took advantage of the maid to serve the strong tea soup, sipping it slowly while half-squinting his eyes, trying hard to recall some time-travel novels he had read in his mind, hoping to provide some inspiration, and found...
Nothing…
? It seems that they are all simplified modes, such as:
“Well, it looks like we have no shortage of food and grass...”
“We should use work as relief, and put the left pocket into the right pocket, so that we will not be short of money...” “We can collect 20 million stones this year, and then we will have all the food for the army...”
Damn it, 20 million shi is equal to the output of nearly 7 million acres, and the area of ??7 million acres, calculated based on the side length of 240 steps in the Han Dynasty, one acre is about 465 Square meters, then seven million acres is nearly 3,000 square kilometers...
The total area of ??almost two of the later Celestial Capitals…
And not all land can be used to grow crops. Just like the fields Fei Qian has reclaimed in Pingyang, it is only 120,000 to 130,000 acres at most. Of course, there is still some room, but even if it is fully reclaimed, At most, it''s only about 70,000 to 800,000 acres.
??So short of food and money, what should we do?
Fei Qian himself has nothing now, so he can only carry out the method of benefiting himself at the expense of others. Since I can''t find the answer in those later time travel novels, I can only cut a batch of leeks based on what I know...
"Yongyuan, just keep those leathers for now. Those without deep processing are not worth anything... Well, that''s what it means. We will take part of the money first and return the first batch, and we have to return it with great fanfare..." Fei Qian put down the tea bowl. , then paused and said, "...Then, you can borrow it again after you return it! Then borrow it back quietly..."
? Cui Hou blinked his little mung bean eyes, returned it with great fanfare, and then borrowed it again?
“My lord, do you want to bluff?”
"That''s right, but not entirely right. If we don''t pay it back, people will think that we have no money, so we need to pay it back in a big way to let everyone know that we have money..." Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table. , said, "...but we really don''t have money now, so we still need to borrow more..."
??Cui Hou nodded and said: "It''s not difficult to pay back the money to show off, but you have to borrow..." The money of the nobles did not fall from the sky. Without enough benefits, no one would let go easily. The last time they were trading with colored glaze, this excuse must not work this time.
"We don''t want to keep five baht in our hands. Now we must turn this money into materials as much as possible... Borrowing also means borrowing food and materials, not borrowing coins, and the most important thing is to remember to write down the specific amount to use Money comes and goes to repay..." Fei Qian is ready to take advantage of this stage before the chaos breaks out to dig deep into the walls of these trench buddies again.
Cui Hou understood a little bit. His little eyes blinked with bright yellow light, and he said tentatively: "My Lord, will the price of grain and grass rise further?"
“That’s right... this matter must not be leaked...” Fei Qian didn’t want to explain too much, because even the people of the Han Dynasty combined didn’t know as much about this thing as he does now.
Cui Hou nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Lord, don''t worry! Don''t worry! Then, what... um, explanation or reason should I use to borrow it?"
Fei Qian nodded, signaled Cui Hou to wait a moment, and then asked his bodyguard to take something out and put it in the hall.
Cui Hou couldn''t help but feel a little pale when he saw it...
In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each school looked down upon the other...
Korean Han Feizi: "There was a man from Lu who was good at weaving linen shoes, and his wife was good at weaving white silk..."
Confucius from the State of Lu: "There is a man from the State of Chu named Ye Gong..."
Chu State Lao Tzu: "...I won''t argue with you. Anyway, in a hundred years we will all be dead, whether we fight or not, we will die, so why should we fight..."
…So the earliest joker was Lord Zhong Ni…
Confucius (the first author), his disciples (the second author) and his secondary disciples (the third author) also wrote a famous book of jokes together.
They often repost other people’s quotes.
Sometimes I just forward it and say, "X Zi said:..."
Sometimes, after forwarding, you will also need to add one or two comments. Just add a sentence after forwarding: \''...\''
