Chapter 50: What do I need this land for?
According to the market in Zhongjing, the average adult's body-selling silver is about fifty taels. If you have skills or outstanding appearance, the price will have to rise.
I gave him money for selling his body, and the other party was a domestic servant. But domestic servants also have to give monthly orders. There have been tragedies in which the owner of the household has squeezed too much, causing the servants to rebel and burn their furniture. Therefore, the Great Mysterious Rule has a certain rule: Anyone who purchases a servant should pay no less than six taels of silver. That is, the legal salary is at least five cents per month.
According to Wang Li, inside and outside the earl's mansion, at least thirty servants are needed. Among them, those who clean, wash, cook, and take care of the flowers and plants in the backyard are all indispensable. In the front yard, there must be some housekeepers and nurses, and the groom and the squad leader must have everything, otherwise, will the earl's face still be lost?
Besides, can the servants of the Earl's Mansion be compared with the servants of the average landlord and wealthy family? Naturally, they all have to have some identity background, preferably those servants who have been implicated by criminal officials and eunuchs.
What? One hundred taels? That's the reserve price, starting at two hundred and two! Don't think it's too expensive, some people place an order for the Department of Internal Affairs in advance. To see your face, you can jump in the queue!
When people arrive in the mansion, how many summer clothes and winter clothes should everyone buy? Not to mention the monthly rules, there must be some rewards at the four o'clock and eight festivals. If the host is happy, it can't be too shabby. It's the count's face when you say it out...
In Wan'an County, only Uncle Ping and Xiaohuan were the only ones who really got the deed. Therefore, the servants in Zhongjing still have to recruit again. That's it, it's just the basic configuration.
In the future, I will be living in the capital, so I have to pay some expenses for it. If I listen to a song on the hook, I must give some rewards.
Besides, Chen Xuan is going to get married in the future, this dowry—bah, bah, I don’t want this!
Let's just say that such a big house, if you don't have three wives and four concubines, who will these embroidered buildings and small courtyards live for!
It's the face of the Earl's Palace!
The family has some savings, and the annual revenue is four or five thousand taels, but that is the result of Chen Xuan's personal management. If Chen Xuan leaves Wan'an, there may be no such amount.
Besides, he has already gone to the capital to become an earl, and he has also spent the money of his family in Wan'an County.
You said that Wan'an County was Chen Luo's fief, how could there be no money? Chen Luo thought so too, but only when he asked Wang Li did he know that the so-called fiefs with real power were actually the three powers that possessed the fiefs.
The right to designate officials: Chen Luo can designate one person to serve as Wan'an County magistrate on the list of alternate officials given by the Ministry of Officials for a term of three years. All promotions, rewards and punishments are no different from other officials. This article seems to give people with high titles an opportunity to interfere in the political affairs. In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if you don’t have this article, people with real status want to cultivate their own officials, or recruit apprentices or marry or invest in advance. Some of them are means.
The feudal military power: Chen Luo can establish a personal army in Wan'an County of the fief. According to the regulations of the count, the total number of the army can be up to 3,000 people. Without an edict, you cannot leave the fief, but there are fifty personal guards who can **** them along with them. This is also tasteless to Chen Luo. Why is he raising an army now? It's not to fight for the world, and even the fiefs can't be released. At most, plan for the fifty personal guards who can be brought out.
Fiscal and taxation rights: One-tenth of Wan'an County's income tax is paid to the Qingzhou state treasury, one-tenth to the Daxuan treasury, and the remaining 80% is owned by Chen Luo!
This seems to solve Chen Luo's problem, but it's not. There is a dead line in the title of fief, that is, the luck cannot be lower than a standard. Once it falls below the standard set by the imperial court, the fief will be withdrawn and the title removed. But if the luck cannot be low, then people's livelihood investment will not be saved.
According to Wang Li, most of the nobles with fiefs, in order to improve their luck and win people's hearts, cut taxes to the point of madness...
Then Chen Luo has a question, what do those fiefdom nobles rely on to make money?
Wang Li smiled.
Some fiefs have special products and can develop special products; some fiefs are located in the main traffic roads, and the road tax will be collected as soon as the road card is put away; Gloves, collect money for them, and when the luck is about to drop below the standard, there will be a wave of harvest, which will not only gather wealth, but also improve the luck of the people...
One word, absolutely!
Chen Luo scratched his head, is Wan'an County so organized?
Specialty? No.
Location? There are about six roads to bypass Wan'an County.
Do you want to keep two black gloves? No, Chen Xuan will probably beat herself to death!
Chen Luo sighed: I want this fief for what use!
Strictly speaking, with the thinking of Chen Luo's previous life, it is not difficult to come up with an idea for the development of overall business characteristics. For example, invite great scholars to give lectures, ask Daojun to do practical things, and then come up with some bizarre legends and stories. Build a cultural tourism town and sell the land at a high price. If you can't invest heavily in getting a high-standard school out, it will become a major school district.
Chen Luo in this whole process has never eaten pork in his previous life, but he has seen pigs run over 800 times, so he can definitely do it!
However, this plan requires investment in the early stage, and it takes time to get the money back.
It would be nice if there was a bank that would approve some loans.
Or should I ask Wei Yan to borrow it?
Anyway, it's a senior, so it's not difficult to give a little start-up fund to the junior, right?
Chen Luo thought for a while, but shook his head to dismiss the idea.
Even if this is the Xianxia World~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is a feudal dynasty after all, and the population mobility is too low. It is true that there can be substantial benefits in the short term, but in the long run, the burden will inevitably fall on the aborigines in Wan'an County.
At that time, the luck will not be good.
What, you said demolition? What a joke, these people can't accept high-rise apartments, the whole county is so big, who wants to play a two-for-one trick with you.
The plan to make a fortune is stillborn!
……
The east has already revealed a layer of bright red, and the sun's rays have swept away the darkness that shrouded the earth. Unconsciously, Chen Luo thought about it all night, but there was still no rules.
It's a shame, in my previous life, after graduating from university, I went to the mountain area to be a volunteer teacher with noble ideals. I was isolated from the modern city for too long, and I couldn't think of a way to make money!
Fortunately, I have read a lot of time-travel novels, and I also understand some local methods.
"The great man said that without investigation, there is no right to speak!" Chen Luo stood up from the roof.
"Go to the streets and find out what's going on." Chen Luo thought to himself, "Although this is a world of immortals with personal power that penetrates the sky and the earth, ordinary people always occupy the majority."
"Perhaps there is still a huge market for cross-travel weapons such as glass and perfume!"
"Especially glass, I also brought the children in the mountains to make it."
Chen Luo was full of confidence, and suddenly a beam of light blinded his eyes. Chen Luo followed along and saw that on the roof of the central hall, there were several rows of tiles shining with the brilliance of the sun.
When I climbed up yesterday, I didn't pay much attention because it was dark. Now Chen Luo took a closer look—
This transparent tile, which is installed on the roof as a lighting window, is it...
Glass!
