"I'm in a tight schedule, so I won't wait until tomorrow. Let's talk while eating and explain the current affairs first!"
The Eight Immortals table was already full of food. Fang Fang sat down and looked at Shang Zhong.
Futures is a pilot project and a national matter, so it naturally requires a team.
But making money from futures is private, so Equation naturally has its own set of people. Not only Equation, but also the people involved in futures are basically the same.
"In this case, you eat, and I will tell you. If you have any questions, wait until I finish talking!"
Shang Zhong had obviously been waiting for a long time. He took out a volume of notes from his sleeve and said, "About the futures, the news to Chao Shang was a little slow, but I should have known about it a long time ago. On the day of arrival, except for our Lord Tiji, we didn't say anything." , everyone has received invitations, and everyone has gained a lot of weight during this period!"
"Not only the Guangchang County family, but also Zhongshan County, Changshan County, plus the neighboring Yunzhong County, and Dingzhen County have people coming. They all intend to hand over all the pastures under their names to us!"
"At the same time, we also sent troops into the grassland to contact the Tatar Tribe, Xianbei Tribe, and Wuheng Tribe. The effect is not yet known, but the people were not driven back, and the Case Department did not send back the news that our people were killed. It is expected that Relevant news will be sent back in three to five days!"
The grassland is in the north of Jizhou, but now where the various ministries are gathered, the Documents Department can only give one direction. After all, there are no satellite maps in this era, and it is quite inconvenient to transmit information.
"It's really quite positive!" Huang An said with a smile.
Yu Xianke put down his chopsticks and said, "Can you not be active? The total number of pastures in these counties totals 30 to 40 million acres. Currently, only 70 to 80 million acres are used. More than 70% of the pastures are deserted. It doesn’t matter that we want a lot, one million acres outside the country and 800,000 acres within the country?”
"But if it falls somewhere, where will it go?"
“If you change it, you’ll earn it!”
"Who wouldn't want free money?"
The northern border of Kyushu was sparsely populated, and the population of the Wu Dynasty also showed a phenomenon of more people in the south and fewer people in the north.
This is related to the proximity to the grassland and the severe cold climate in the past century.
Shang Zhong mentioned several counties, which are representative of the vast territory and sparse population of the Wu Dynasty. The total permanent population was only eight to nine million, and most of them were concentrated near the county towns. The population was even smaller in the counties, and a few were close to the grasslands. It is a county seat. If there are ten or twenty thousand people inside and outside the city, it belongs to Shangxian County.
"The pasture is located in the northwest of Guangchang and the northeast of Yunnan. The internal and external pastures should be concentrated as much as possible to facilitate management. But let's not refuse the other counties. After all, they still need to provide the lambs!"
It is impossible to do things without offending others.
Once the matter is done, it doesn't matter if you offend someone. Adults look at interests. As long as they don't tear their face apart, there is no need for equations to say anything later. It's time to come or come back.
If things are ruined, will the people who benefited from it still be grateful?
Equations are there to do things, not to transfer money.
The pace of futures pilot is easy to slow down.
How much pasture to rent, how many shepherds to hire, how many lambs and ewes are needed, the group of them had already calculated the specific data in Tai'an City.
At present, the animal husbandry in Kyushu is mainly divided into two types: fixed pastoralism and nomadic pastoralism.
Dingmu is mainly used by warriors. Several counties in the north are vast and sparsely populated, and there is no need to pay for pasture. The local noble and powerful military families own land ranging from thousands of acres to hundreds of thousands of acres. To facilitate the warriors, they use it. Dingmu.
Divide the pasture under your name into two parts. One part is used for grazing, and you can raise as much as you can. The other part is used for livestock. When the vegetation is abundant in early summer, cut it hard and use it as storage material until winter. , after some efforts, 10,000 acres of grassland can raise 30,000 to 40,000 sheep every year, and it is absolutely no problem to sell 10,000 to 20,000 sheep in autumn and winter. It is a pity that the lambs are sold in the same season, so the large quantity is not valuable.
A pound of mutton in Tai'an City costs twenty coins, but in the four counties of Yunzhong, Guangchang, Dingzhen, and Changshan, a live sheep only costs three to four hundred coins.
Nomadic herdsmen are a habit on the grasslands. Because of the habit of moving to chase grass, a single herdsman in the grasslands can actually raise only a few cattle and sheep every year, only a few hundred. If more than a thousand cattle and sheep are raised, it will be troublesome.
It is completely theoretical to raise seven or eight animals in one acre of grassland, or 70, 80,000 or 80,000 in 10,000 acres of grassland.
Just like farming!
The emperors of each dynasty personally cultivated twenty acres of the earth altar every year, and they were carefully taken care of. A few acres produced four stones, and many produced five stones. This figure averaged three stones and six buckets.
The people below can do it, but not only cannot they do it, but they have to do so at a discount.
"The people here are all smart people. Apart from being reluctant to give up money, there is obviously a temptation behind it!" Huang An explained his thoughts in one sentence.
"Whether they are tempted or not is their business. All we have to do is plant the seeds so that the pastures will be secure and the sheep will grow, but the lambs will be hard to find!"
Everything has its seasonality.
In autumn and winter, herdsmen are eager to use their cattle and sheep to reduce the pressure of winter, and just leave a certain amount of seeds.
In spring and summer, it is the opposite. I want to make great strides forward and raise as many cattle and sheep as there are pastures.
As long as you don't encounter a drought, you will make money no matter what.
"There are many cattle and sheep trading places under the Municipal Household Division. We have contacted them during this period. At the same time, we have sent people to the countryside to collect cattle and sheep from various places. I dare not say that there will be too many before April. There should be 70,000 or 80,000. No problem!" Shang Zhong said.
“This year’s goal is to sell 400,000 animals, and everyone needs to step up!”
The pastures can be circled first, but the key is to put them for slaughter. If there are no pastures and there are sheep futures can still be traded. If there are pastures but no sheep are put for slaughter, is there any trading air?
…
"You Ge, haven't you shown up yet?"
After listening to Shang Zhong's report and having almost finished the meal, Huang An looked hesitant.
In the past ten days or so, there have been many forces that have come into contact with Shang Zhong and the others, and it seems that everyone welcomes them. However, Hu Si Tiju Youge in Guangchang City seems to have disappeared, and there is no news at all.
At the mention of You Ge, everyone's expressions turned playful.
You Ge can't control them, but this person really has key things in his hands. If You Ge doesn't cooperate, he will get stuck in many subsequent things.
"You Ge's attitude is indeed very playful, but I think You Ge won't do stupid things. Of course he can't do anything even if he wants to!" Shang Zhong had already considered You Ge's attitude, "I didn't reveal it before, probably because I was waiting. Wait for Master Fang!"
You Ge is the eldest son of the third wife of the You family in Changshan County. He is a generation higher than Shang Zhong, so he doesn't have much contact with him.
"This guess is possible. You Ge is extremely experienced and steady in his work. Huang An and I will take office tomorrow. Let's get in touch first to see what his attitude is. If we can cooperate, it's best to cooperate!"
Shang Zhong and You Ge were not familiar with each other, but You Xian Ke was familiar with them. They had the same pronunciation and different surnames, and they were from the same generation, so they naturally had a lot of contact with them.
"You Ge, you handle it. I will show up when I need to come forward. The key right now is the meeting. Why do so many people come to talk one by one? It takes too much time. After all the talks, everyone will be here soon. You can find Yannian A place that meets all identities, a banquet will be sent out in three days, and we will meet in five days. As for these few days, I will go to Hushi to check it out first!"
You Ge's attitude is a trivial matter. If he really doesn't cooperate, he will change the situation. The equation will not delay the progress for one person.
