As for the current chaotic stage of national governance, Liu Bei can barely control the village level by relying on hierarchical household registration management, while Cao Cao and Sun Ce can only rely on aristocratic families to supervise.
Therefore, if you want to stabilize the price of something in the entire Han Dynasty, you can't go around these aristocratic families. Otherwise, as long as this group of people violates the rules, Chen Xi really has no other way except relying on the intelligence system to investigate one by one and deal with them one by one.
"A hundred dollars for one stone?" The family representatives of the three wealthy businessmen, Wei Ji, Wei Zi, and Wu Yuan, all frowned. Although the salt and iron officialdom was the king in this era, the Wei family and the Wu family were the only ones who could afford the place. At this level, it doesn¡¯t actually matter whether it is government-run or private. From a certain perspective, they are government-run.
"At this price, our Wu family can still make a certain profit, but other families may not." Wu Yuan pulled away with a smile and kicked the ball to Chen Xi and other families.
"This price is too low." The Wei family and other families involved in selling salt all spoke up. Not only did they not support Chen Xi, but the forced sale violated the laws of economics and was of no benefit to both parties.
"You don't need to pay for it. We can provide the salt directly. The selling price is 100 yuan per stone. We can sell it to you at 50 yuan per stone." Chen Xi shook his head. He couldn't let everyone from one class go. When doing this kind of loss-making thing, it is in line with the rules to have comings and goings, going out and coming in.
To be honest, in Chen Xi's opinion, the profit of fifty yuan per stone is not very high. After all, life is a necessity. Five grams per day, the profit of fifty yuan per stone. The Han Dynasty also had a profit of 400 million yuan a year. It's not that they haven't unified it now. This kind of daily necessities is definitely a state-controlled price.
"Chen Hou, you may have forgotten one thing. Some of our families started out by making salt. If they only sell salt, it would be equivalent to handing over the lifeblood of the family to others. Although it is much easier and simpler, it is The importance of the family's lifeline, sometimes money cannot solve the problem," Wei Zi said, shaking his head. Although their family also makes salt, it is completely different from the family that only makes salt.
Chen Xi was slightly startled after hearing this. He also ignored some details. For some aristocratic families, certain industries are equivalent to independent industries. It was controlled by their family from beginning to end, and it was also the improvement of their family from generation to generation, but suddenly this system was destroyed through dumping
"Well, I understand, I have overlooked something. But since I have said what should be implemented, it cannot be stagnant. The family whose ancestral business is purely salt production, please stand up." Chen Xi nodded and directly Violent implementation is okay, but it is better not to have any negative effects.
Seeing the eleven or twelve aristocratic family representatives standing up, Chen Xi nodded slightly. He knew that there couldn't be too many such families. After all, if there were too many such families in a state, they would definitely crush each other, and only one family would be left behind. Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.
"If it's just these families, then other families should be able to pass my policy. If it's passed here, if it happens again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chen Xi's eyes flashed with a ruthless light. He is no longer the young scholar he was when he first came here, and he has a lot of lives in his hands, and he has a certain momentum when he looks down.
"You have two options now. One is to directly change your current salt production industry and then develop pickled products. I think you all have experience in this aspect, and our Taishan Association will provide certain support, which means we will Buy your pickled products," Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
After the introduction of intensive production, poultry and meat were outsourced to these families for processing. I used to wonder if it would be a waste if I did it myself. Now that we have these aristocratic families, we don¡¯t have to worry about these things. We can scale these aristocratic families themselves and just train them when the time comes.
Xuzhou, Yuzhou. The families who started out in salt production in the five states of Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou directly agreed to this proposal. The reason couldn't be simpler. It was useless to disagree. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's salt was being sold in these five states, and there was no way to stop them. If you still don't give in, you are seeking death!
"Well, it seems that you are not satisfied with this choice. There is another option." Chen Xi gestured to Xu Chu and asked Xu Chu to go to his house to get the paving sheet for the industry. Chen Xi's paving industry also needs to be paved. At the first stage, things often get missed or forgotten, so I will make this list.
After all, in the late Han Dynasty, many things were not actually built, and some industries were not even fully developed, and some were not yet developed.
Since this is the case, just select a few suitable industries in the areas of those families and hand them over to them. Anyway, according to the plan, the construction of the Han Dynasty area will happen sooner or later, and there is no shortage of time.
Soon Xu Chu brought Chen Xi¡¯s property list and looked at it. Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou are the Yellow River Basin.He took Chen Xi and sent these three families directly to grow cotton. Chen Xi said that he would remember to buy them when they grow up.
From now on, it doesn¡¯t matter if the three of them are satisfied or not. What else can I say about a separate business? Just plant according to the booklet given by Cookie. And there is a huge family like Taishan to harvest cotton, so I will be uneasy in the first year. What else will happen after that? Satisfaction is the weird thing!
Several other companies have selected certain medicinal herbs that can only be grown in the area and asked them to do medicinal planting and rough processing. As for these planting methods, they can only talk about them in private. Since the love for the land is so deep in this era, Chen Xi There is nothing more to say.
As for the Zhang family in Yizhou who wanted to make high-quality wine, Chen Xi thought about it and agreed. Yizhou is not short of food, so let them go.
In fact, some families are more suitable to engage in cement, but there is no way now is not the time, so that's it. As for some super wealthy families, although they are unhappy about the determination of salt prices, the harm to them is not great, they just have less money. I made a little profit, so I gave Chen Xi a good sale.
"The last topic, I need you to gather the refugees and beggars in your states and counties. Once we go to war with Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu and cause damage to the Han Dynasty, the refugees who appear will need your help to gather them, and the refugees will be fed and clothed. We will compensate for the cost." Chen Xi discussed the previous topic and went directly to the last item.
To be honest, the war in Jizhou itself did not cause much damage, but the deserters and bandits did almost devastating damage to the entire Jizhou. Moreover, after the deserters and bandits destroyed the villages and towns, large-scale refugees appeared, and some of these refugees became Some of the bandits died on their own before Chen Xi managed them.
