Nian Shoucheng, director of the oil press factory, said: "The mechanical master from Beijing has returned to Beijing. Now the oil output rate of the oil press has reached 14%." Fu Xiyan: "Warm applause." Everyone applauded warmly. Nian Shouchengyan: "We have also learned how to adjust the production process of the loom factory, and the cost has dropped significantly. The oil press now sells for 8 yuan, and there is still a net profit of 30%. There are already oil presses, and most of them can be upgraded to produce oil. The rate is 13%, and some can only reach 10%." Fu Xiyan: "Please organize the county's business firms to go to surrounding counties to sell old oil presses and sell them cheaply. We will try our best to produce new oil presses so that oil can be extracted. The factory is upgrading. Soybean oil will come out in large quantities, and we must try our best to occupy the market at low prices." Ma Wencai said: "Yes, sir. The price of soybean oil has dropped significantly in the market."
Zhu Ergou, director of the loom factory, said: "Ever since the weaving factories cashed out the loom money, my heart has dropped. The loom factory has produced a total of 400 looms with an output value of 1,920 yuan. It is not as good as Li Daniu Breeding Center has 500 pigs, but the net profit is good, 800 pigs." Fu Xi asked Wang Er: "Is the weaving factory profitable?" Wang Er replied: "Ready-made clothes are expensive, but they still make money, but the profits are not fully paid. Because the peasant women get winter clothes, and after deducting their own threads, winter clothes fillings, and piecework bonuses, they still owe the factory money. The profits will be fully reflected in the next winter production." Fu Xi said well. Replying to Zhu Ergou: "Don't envy Li Daniu's high output value. The price of pork will drop significantly this year, while the price of looms will rise. You will soon develop spinning machines to improve the speed and quality of peasant women's home spinning threads. Weaving The machine is in normal production without forgetting to reduce costs and improve the weaving speed and quality of the loom." Zhu Ergou said. Fu Xiyan said to Wang Houcai: "Every household should also ask merchants to sell looms, or ask foreign merchants to see the benefits of looms." Wang Houcai said yes.
Cao Zuo Liu Sanwa of the farmhouse said: "Master, a shocking incident happened. Farmers who own their own land have asked to sell their land to large households as tenant farmers." Fu Xi said: "Why?" Liu Sanwa replied: "Winter Children's School, Large households provide money for grain, and the children learn skills and have a good future. Farmers who own their own land are envious. They feel that paying an extra 10% of the grain tax to become a sharecropper means not starving to death, and there are many benefits, but they still have to sell their land to pay for it." Fu Xi looked at all the wealthy people, who all laughed and wanted to see him. Fu Xi thought to herself, in history, allocating land was for good governance and winning the hearts of the people. How could it be that he had traveled through time and walked out of the strange path of monopolizing farmland? Fu Xi gritted his teeth and said, "If you wish, let's do it. But the price of the land must be fair. Please ask Chief Li to catch it personally." Li Zhishi agreed. Liu Sanwa said: "I suggest opening up wasteland. The reason is: farmers are well fed and clothed, in good health, and able to work; there are more cows. Li Daniu told me that calves grow very quickly because of the cowsheds and centralized breeding. There are 10% more cattle for spring plowing this year; most of the fourteen-year-old boys in the children's school go home to farm." Fu Xiyan: "Okay. How to do it specifically?" Liu Sanwa said: "Originally, farming remains unchanged. The wasteland requires weeding, plowing, and top dressing. In the first year of the grain field, only soybeans can be planted. In the first year of the hemp field, hemp can be planted, and it is harvested after only one season. After three years of cultivation, the field will be mature." Fu Xi asked: "What is the soil strength of the wasteland?" Liu Sanwa replied: "A lot of wasteland was farmland in the past. Due to wars and a small population, a lot of farmland became deserted. It will be restored very quickly. I said three years is an understatement. If you take good care of it, two years will be enough." "Fu Xiyan: "Okay. According to the principle of wasteland, whoever pays for the tenant farmers to open up wasteland belongs to him." Gao Xiuwen said with a smile: "Master is forcing us all to become big landowners! Our Gao family is going all out to open up wasteland." All actively open up wasteland. Fu Xiyan: "We must also pay attention to the intensity of land reclamation. Each household must maintain sufficient food reserves. It is recommended that all the money be spent to purchase the surplus food from the tenant farmers. Of course, you must follow the unified purchasing and marketing procedures. Each of you has a breeding plant, a press Oil factories, weaving factories, and garment factories have constant income, so don't be afraid of spending money." Everyone said yes. Fu Xiyan said to Wang Houcai: "Every household should start saving money for housing, and buy in large quantities after the wheat harvest." Wang Houcai said yes.
Li Daniu, a farm clerk, said: "The pig sheds, sheep sheds, cow sheds, and pastures in various breeding plants in our county have been basically built, and the sheep sheds and cow sheds are still being expanded. Now there are 60 boars and sows in the county. 1,500, including 20,000 piglets. There are 100 rams, 900 ewes, and 600 lambs. There are 10 bulls, 110 cows, and 70 calves. The number of spring plowing cattle has increased by 10% compared with last year." Xi Yan: "Just maintain the pig breeding speed, and adjust based on market changes. Sheep and cattle must go all out, ewes are not killed, only rams are killed, and cattle are not killed. Animal power is very important for agricultural production and for cargo transportation. It's also very important." Li Daniu said yes.
The blind man Yu Ershiqiyan said: "The horse breeding center has made adjustments and centralized management of almost all the riding and draft horses in the county. They need to travel and return to the horse farm after use. There are currently 81 riding horses, 30 foals, and 20 expectant mares. There are 103 draft horses, 20 foals, and 30 expectant mares. All horses are in good condition." Fu Xiyan: "The military value of horses is extremely high, and centralized management is very good. The horses are in good condition, and they are Yu Twenty-seven. Thank you for your contribution. You must continue to work hard to raise the horses." Yu Twenty-seven said yes.
Hu Liangcai, Cao Zuo of the medical ward, said: "There are now ten old apprentices and thirty new apprentices in the medical ward. Classes are concentrated for two days a week, and the new apprentices follow them the rest of the time. The army has an old apprentice stationed there permanently to teach soldiers to relax. , massage, and treatment for injuries. Due to the sharp drop in consultation fees, there are a lot more people coming to see the doctor. Most of them are common diseases, and minor illnesses will no longer turn into serious illnesses." Fu Xi said: "Good. Good medical treatment is one of the five major livelihoods of the people. Focus. We still need to recruit apprentices, and we can recruit them from the society." Hu Liangcai said yes.
Fu Xiyan: "In the past year, our county has developed very well in all aspects, and everyone has done a good job. But our foundation is still weak. We can't even say that we have enough food. We are far from well-dressed. We have poor housing, good medical care, and good education." Well, let alone that. Therefore, there is a long way to go and we still need to work hard." Everyone promised. Fu Xiyan: "Next time we have a meeting, please have Gao Xian Cheng preside over it, and I will listen." Gao Xiuwen was frightened to death: "Master, no! I haven't learned your skills yet." Fu Xi smiled and said, "Gao Xian Cheng is smart. Very good, let’s see how you look at the next meeting. Dismissed.”
