A Blessed Daughter Chapter 307

  Chapter 307 Heartbeat

Wei Ruo explained: "Taizhou Prefecture has a vast territory and a large number of victims. Once the land reclamation is successful, the food income and economic benefits will be huge. Simply put, this is not just a disaster relief activity, but also a business. .”

   Someone didn't understand it very well, so they asked: "Miss Wei, can you explain in detail?"

Wei Ruo further explained: "In the early stage, we used funds and food as rewards to hire the victims, let them work, reclaim and improve wasteland, and plant crops. When the autumn harvest comes, the food will belong to the investors. Not only that, but the reclaimed land will also become It has become fertile land that can be planted, and these fertile land will also be owned by the investors.”

  Invest money in the early stage, and in the later stage, not only can you harvest food, but you can also get a piece of fertile land. This sounds like a profitable business.

In order to let everyone better understand the costs and benefits involved, Wei Ruo began to calculate an account for everyone: "The labor required to cultivate an acre of wasteland is slightly higher than that of ordinary rice fields, and an average adult man can cultivate and take care of three acres of land."

"Assume that we need to pay this adult man three catties of rice per day, which is ninety catties of rice a month, and it takes eight to ten months from improvement and reclamation to harvesting, which is seven hundred and twenty catties of rice Up to nine hundred catties of rice."

   "According to my previous planting experience in Xingshan County, the yield per mu of wheat can reach 1,000 catties per mu, and the output value of rice per mu is also around 1,000 catties."

   "That is to say, you only need to pay less than 900 catties of grain, and in less than a year, you can harvest more than 3,000 catties of grain, and you can also get three acres of fertile land."

  Because the price of grain has skyrocketed recently, Wei Ruo used the weight of grain instead of money when calculating accounts.

  After listening to Wei Ruo's words, all the ladies had different thoughts.

  The output of food is higher than the expenditure, and at the same time, a piece of land can be harvested, which sounds very cost-effective.

  "Miss Wei, your business sounds like a good deal, but is the remuneration too high? Three catties of grain per person per day, which has never existed before." Someone raised a question.

  Now is a special period, why did the eldest girl of the Wei family raise the price?

  Wei Ruo replied: "There is indeed room for discussion on this price, but based on the daily remuneration of three catties of grain here, I still have a very rich profit. It can be seen that this transaction is very worthwhile."

   It's true, even if the grain spent and the grain harvested are equal to each other this year, the land obtained in the end will be earned in vain!

   Everyone looked at Mrs. Yuan, and a lady asked Mrs. Yuan on behalf of everyone: "Mrs. Yuan, is what Miss Wei said true? Is the improved fertile land owned by the investor?"

   Madam Yuan gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, it is true. I have already discussed this matter with my master, and he agrees."

  With Mrs. Yuan's affirmative answer, everyone has nothing to question.

   At this time, the wife is already a little moved.

At this time, Wei Ruo continued: "Now Mrs. Yuan and His Royal Highness are presiding over this matter together. If it can be done, it will solve the plight of refugees everywhere and starve to death on the streets. For the common people, it is a life-saving straw; for the court , is a great achievement."

  At this time, Mother Qin, who had been silent all the time, also spoke in a timely manner: "Yes, the imperial court attaches great importance to disaster relief. If Taizhou government can save itself and save the disaster and save the people without the imperial court sending food, it will be a meritorious service to the imperial court."

  The words of Wei Ruo and Mother Qin reminded the wives that the disaster relief was led by the Yuan family and the Seventh Prince. To participate was to establish contact with the two nobles, and for them it was a rare opportunity to get closer to them.

   What's more, this is a disaster relief event that the imperial court is very concerned about. If the matter is completed, then those who participated in it may be able to count their contributions and be rewarded by the imperial court.

  All the housewives present here are well-managed and well-managed housewives. They naturally know that this matter is profitable, and it is very likely that they will gain both fame and fortune. There is no reason not to participate if they have enough funds and food.

   Now the question is how to become this funder.

   Mrs. Xu was the first to ask Wei Ruo: "Miss, I don't know how to become this investor?"

  The other wives also looked at Wei Ruo, wondering how to carry out this matter.

  Yun Shi also looked at Wei Ruo with eager eyes. This matter is so good that she naturally wants the Wei family to participate in it.

  Wei Ruo replied: "This matter was originally led by the government office, Mrs. Yuan and His Highness the Seventh Highness. These three parties fully funded it, and the final proceeds belong to these three parties."

  The government office is counted as official, and Mrs. Yuan's own contribution is counted as personal, so this counts as two.

  Hearing Wei Ruo's answer, some wives looked disappointed, but most of them, such as Mrs. Xu, were not in a hurry.

  Because they knew that the eldest daughter of the Wei family must have something to say behind her, if it was really only these three companies that contributed, they would not have called them here today.

After a pause, Wei Ruo continued: "However, the manpower of the government office is limited, and His Highness is busy with military affairs, so he can't take time off. However, the disaster relief should be as comprehensive as possible, and there will be fewer mistakes if there are fewer mistakes. "

   "That's right, Miss Wei is right. This matter must be cautious. There will be no rioters among the refugees. If they are not managed properly, conflicts may arise."

   "Furthermore, food dispatching is also a big problem. I am afraid that there will be looting by unreasonable people."

   "This matter should be cautious and cautious. It will be safer if more people participate in helping."

  Many wives seconded Wei Ruo.

  Wei Ruoneng could feel from their words that they were already moved.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Ruo said: "So Mrs. Yuan and His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness plan to involve all capable people in Taizhou Mansion. Those who have money will contribute money, those who have people will contribute people, and those who have food will contribute food. Let's work together to complete this work-for-disaster relief operation.”

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, Mrs. Yuan immediately stated: "At that time, the contribution of everyone, whether it is money, people, or food, will be recorded. Once we are done, we will divide them according to the size of the contribution. Food. My lord will report the corresponding achievements to the court truthfully, without missing a single bit."

   All the ladies were completely moved, and expressed their opinions one after another:

   "Mrs. Yuan, Taizhou Prefecture is in such a catastrophe. My Liu family is a noble family in Taizhou Prefecture. I should do my best for the people and do my best."

   "Mrs. Yuan, although my family is not a big family, I hope to do my best for the people of Taizhou Prefecture."

   "Ma'am, just tell me, my Zhen family can give me money, people or food."
