Chapter 275 Search for money
Not to mention in this era, medicinal materials are all a problem in later generations. As the saying goes, medicinal materials are good, medicine is good. With such productivity in the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to solve the problem of medicinal materials.
"Back to your Majesty, the Medical College has sent people to various places for inspection."
"The main source of medicinal materials will encourage local people to grow medicinal materials. If it is really not possible, you can rent public fields to grow medicinal materials." Li Jianyuan quickly replied: "At that time, the emperor will issue an order and local officials will cooperate."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cooperate with you."
In fact, most conventional medicinal materials can be grown manually, and Daming is not without this medicinal materials vendor. However, there is no unified plan. Zhu Yijun believes that once the royal hospital is open everywhere, it will inevitably stimulate the development of the pharmaceutical industry in Daming.
The housing exhibition in the pharmaceutical industry will inevitably give the people of the Ming Dynasty a more wealth path.
The Ming Dynasty now has more than 10 million households and a population of more than 60 million. With the popularity of new crops, the court will usher in a bumper harvest of crops in the next ten years. In order to boost the price of food, Zhu Yijun felt that he should make preparations from now on.
Although the current situation is that the rich Yangtze River Delta is a region with the most developed cotton economic crops and handicrafts, many lands have been converted into rice to mulberry, resulting in insufficient food.
But Zhu Yijun believes that once new crops are rolled out, the food prices in the Ming Dynasty will definitely fall to the bottom.
According to statistics from the Taxation Department, the current arable land in the Ming Dynasty exceeded 10 million hectares, and the one hectares in the Ming Dynasty were fifty acres, which means that the current arable land in the Ming Dynasty was about 500 million acres.
Although economical crops are grown in many places, most of the land still grows food.
Taking Shuntian Prefecture as an example, the imperial court promoted new crops, planted with high yields in fertile fields, and planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes in the sandy and mountainous areas. In the next year, Shuntian Prefecture will inevitably usher in a bumper harvest of grain.
In this era, transportation conditions were backward and grain transportation costs were high. Even if someone bought the local grain in Shuntian Prefecture, it would greatly reduce the price of grain, which Zhu Yijun did not allow.
Stabilize grain prices and increase the added value of grain. Cultivating economic crops such as medicinal materials is also a good idea to increase income.
With his own farm plan, the lives of the people of Shuntian Prefecture will usher in earth-shaking changes. Of course, it is better to say that it is a brooding farm than to say that it is a farm.
Use artificial hatching of eggs to hatch chickens, ducks and geese, and then sell them to the people at cost prices or even subsidy prices.
Compared to large livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, chickens, ducks and geese are relatively easy to raise. Liao Yuan remembers very clearly that when he was a child, his grandfather raised a group of ducks and big geese in the countryside.
When the door opened in the morning, they ran into the river by themselves.
I knew I was going home at night, so I didn’t have to look for it or feed it. Green grass bugs were their food, and it would not add too much burden to the people when raising them.
If the people of the Ming Dynasty raised dozens of chickens, dozens of ducks and big geese at home, laying eggs alone would be enough to improve their lives. When the first roast in the capital was opened, the chickens, ducks and geese would be sold.
Once the industry has completed its transition, it can even adopt the procurement and sales system of later generations.
The merchants produce cubs and feed, the people leave the place, and they are responsible for raising them. After raising them, the merchants are responsible for recycling them. However, things have to be done step by step, and the countryside is still mainly free-range.
Xu Guangqi has already made a thermometer, and large-scale artificial greenhouse egg hatching can be achieved.
Once the artificial greenhouse is incubated, the price of the cubs will inevitably be greatly reduced. Zhu Yijun believes that once his first place in the capital is roasted, there will definitely be merchants following the trend, and the prices of chickens, ducks and geese will definitely soar.
At that time, there may be large-scale farms, and they don’t even need to guide themselves.
If the price of grain falls, in addition to the purchase of the court, animal husbandry will also become the mainstream, especially around big cities like Beijing. This is also a plan for Zhu Yijun to prepare for the future. Otherwise, the price of grain will really drop, and he will not have the money to launch the price of grain protection.
You should know that the Qing Dynasty relied on new crops to feed 200 million to 300 million people, and even by the Republic of China, it was already 400 million compatriots.
Although there were many natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, there were only 60 million people. If you deliberately promoted new crops, the food price would inevitably fall. Unless the population of the Ming Dynasty increased rapidly, it would not be more than ten or twenty years before it could show its power.
Now Zhu Yijun is trying his best to increase the income of the people, and Li Jianyuan has a good idea.
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Do it well, I see it all."
Li Jianyuan was naturally overjoyed. He originally thought that his future was not good at studying medicine, but his family was the only son, so he could only inherit the medical skills of the Li family. In addition, he was not good at studying, and there was no chance to take the imperial examination.
Originally, Li Jianyuan felt that relying on his father Yu Yin, he might be able to be a regular in the Imperial Hospital.
Unexpectedly, the Royal Medical College, which was suddenly established by the imperial court, has now established a Royal Hospital, which is where it can show its strengths. Li Jianyuan's desire for fame and fortune was once again burned, and he felt that he could do very well.
Not to mention the others, just the priest of the Royal Medical College, that is the third grade.
In the past, I didn’t dare to think about it, but now Li Jianyuan feels that he can still think about it. After all, the one sitting in that seat is his father!
"Thank you for your praise, I will do my best!" Li Jianyuan said hurriedly.
The group passed through the main building and soon arrived at the backyard. Compared to the main building, the construction was much better. There were gardens on both sides, pavilions were built, and there were rows of bungalows at the back.
On the right are courtyards, which are quite interesting among the green trees.
"Your Majesty, this is the place to be hospitalized!" Li Jianyuan pointed to the row of bungalows and said, "If the patient is in serious condition, he needs to arrange to stay here."
Zhu Yijun nodded, it was his idea.
"Li Yuanzheng, where is the courtyard where the narrator is?" behind Zhu Yijun, British Duke Zhang Rong asked.
Li Jianyuan was stunned and saw everyone looking at him, and quickly explained: "It's a sanatorium. If a patient needs long-term treatment and lives outside and is disturbed by mundane affairs, he can live in the sanatorium."
"There are not only specialized doctors who check their bodies every day, but also foods that are most beneficial to the body and mind."
"We also arranged for apprentices to maintain their care, and people who live here every day can take care of them."
Li Jianyuan talked endlessly, and Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, this place was used by Zhu Yijun to cheat money, and it was used by big investors. Later generations had VIP wards, not to mention in this era, if you don’t use any aristocratic gimmicks, you will be sorry to the rich people in the Ming Dynasty.
The Office of the Interior has already taken out all the plans for luxury items.
As the emperor, I have to spend money on food, clothing and expenses, which is simply embarrassing. In the future, all the royal family's special supplies will not only be given to me for free, but also have to pay for myself every year.
What you need to pay is very simple, that is, you are allowed to hang the words "The Royal Special Offer".
In this way, not only can we collect a large amount of money, but we can also win over a large number of officials and businessmen. When they collect business taxes, they can stand on their own side and attract part to part.
Of course, after the luxury goods are established, it will be easier to trade in the sea in the future.
You should know that two-thirds of the luxury goods in this world come from the Ming Dynasty. However, those things are indeed good things. What Zhu Yijun has to do is sell straw for gold.
Rebs doesn't need such talents, he needs them himself.
As for whether any ministers would jump out to oppose it, and what would damage the royal majesty, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all. Who do you think those merchants are? They are all scholars and officials.
If there is no one in your family, do you want to do a big business? Stop making trouble.
When setting up a stall on the street, you have to know two urban management people!
These people are reluctant to ask for the royal special name. Whoever stands up and opposes it is probably not necessary for Zhu Yijun to take action, these people will trample them into scum. Anyway, they have to do a lot of things, and making money is always the first priority.
As Li Jianyuan told the story, the nobles present immediately became interested in the yard.
"Li Yuanzheng, how did that yard charge money?" British Duke Zhang Rong asked, stroking his beard.
After asking this question, Zhu Yijun was stunned. These old guys fell in love with this place? But after thinking about it, they understood that they have a respectable status and are not young anymore, but no one wants to die!
Now that there is such a good place, why don’t you come here early?
Li Jianyuan was stunned, then turned to look at Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun waved his hand and signaled him to say whatever he wanted.
Zhu Yijun felt that his hospital was probably going to be expanded.
With Zhu Yijun's permission, Li Jianyuan smiled and said to Zhang Rong: "When I go back to the British Duke, this yard is charged monthly, with 300 taels of silver per month."
"In addition to the 300 taels of silver this month, other things like the wages of apprenticeships for medicine are also charged."
Living in a month of 300 taels of silver is definitely a bad price. However, this yard is not for the people to live in. If you get cheaper, these people will not be interested.
"I wonder if I can book one?" Zhang Rong said with a smile: "I am old now and have a bad body. It's good to have such a good place to come here to cultivate!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned. Is this a nursing home?
However, Zhu Yijun didn't care. Anyway, if you are willing to spend money, then Huabei. However, this is not a big money for these dukes, and they can accept it.
"Of course this is possible!" Li Jianyuan was stunned and nodded quickly.
