Tianji Camp is like a factory. Does the factory make money? The answer is yes.
But he not only had to deal with the exploitation of Emperor Liang, but also had to make concessions to various agents. At most, he could just stand and make money.
But now, Tianjiying sells the sugar industry, but it does not mean that the "intellectual property rights" are also packaged and sold off.
As long as Qin Feng still controls the raw material formula and production process of white sugar, he can still get a share of the profits from white sugar.
The difference is that Qin Feng has changed from producing and selling his own products to charging patent fees.
Even if the patent fee is only 10%, it is equivalent to making money in vain.
From standing to make money to lying down to make money, why not?
In this way, Qin Feng can free up his hands and energy to not only control the upstream profits of the sugar industry, but also upgrade sugar products and continue to monopolize the candy industry.
The sugar industry and the confectionery industry are just one word apart, but they are worlds apart.
The same goes for bookstores!
Qin Feng has no control over the pricing and sales of the book, but as an "author", he has not signed any contract of sale, and the sky-high royalties are enough for him to eat as much as he wants.
Selling a business and buying it out are not the same thing!
Anyway, these days, there is no consumer association, no courts, and no monopoly law. The right to speak is all in Qin Feng's own hands. I will not wait for you to sue wherever you like.
Besides, if he didn't sell the sugar business to Kyoto businessmen, how could he transfer the factory to Beixi County?
Everyone else may make a profit, but Qin Feng will never lose.
The business in Kyoto is left to Liu Hongyan. This second sister is a strong woman and will never make any stupid moves to harm Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's current task is naturally to provide relief to the victims in Changping County.
It is true that Beixi County needs population, but there is a limit. If all the disaster victims from all over the world flock to Beixi County, Qin Feng will not be able to afford it no matter how rich he is.
The money collected from the ministers' children through the purge of officialdom in Kyoto was put to good use, but it was definitely not used to buy disaster relief food.
First, disaster relief food treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
Secondly, although the surrounding counties are not as miserable as Changping County, they are affected by the hungry people in Changping County and their lives are miserable. Even if Qin Feng offers a high price, I am afraid that the counties will not have any surplus food to sell.
The cause of the famine in Changping County is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Ultimately, it is about creating a good living environment for local people.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not rush into the city, but sent Zhao Yulong, Wu Wei and Qin Xiaofu to inspect the surrounding area.
It was not as expected by Qin Feng.
Changping County is geographically located in the middle of the Daliang territory. Although it is not along the coast, the drought risk it faces is far less than that in the northwest.
In addition, this place is not far or close to the south of the Yangtze River. There is no need to worry about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can take advantage of the terrain to make profits from the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
But it is true that all the rivers and wells in Changping County are dry.
Before leaving Beijing, Qin Feng had checked the local chronicles of Changping County in the Ministry of Personnel.
In the past three years, there has actually been a lot of rainfall in Changping County, but every time it rains, it is so short-lived that the earth has no time to store the rain. The rain ends, and the subsequent sunshine causes the rivers and wells to gradually dry up. .
However, in Qin Feng's view, this level of drought is not a problem at all.
The convoy stopped outside the gate of Changping County and had no intention of entering it.
In the next two hours, no local officials came to greet him. However, judging from the guards at the city gate, the city's county government functions were still intact. It can be seen that it was not that the county officials did not know Qin Feng's arrival, but deliberately Give Qin Feng a show of strength.
Since it was a man-made disaster, it would be easy to handle!
Qin Feng took out a 10,000 tael silver note and handed it to Qin Xiaofu: "Go to the surrounding counties and issue a notice of employment. All young men between the ages of eighteen and forty will agree to the employment standards. Anyone who is willing to come If you work as a helper in Changping County for ten days, you will be paid five taels of silver."
The ten-day construction period and the salary of 50 taels are a piece of cake for any ordinary person.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In addition, the local economy is in a shaky state and the people are hungry. This amount of money is enough for the local people to "give it a try."
Although Qin Xiaofu didn't understand Qin Feng's intention, he knew very well that as long as it was an order given by the young master, it must have deep meaning.
Qin Xiaofu immediately asked: "Master, how many people are you hiring?"
Qin Feng blurted out without thinking: "Hire as many as you want. This ten thousand taels of silver is just a deposit. Anyone who is willing to come to Changping County must pay a deposit of one tael of silver first, and when the construction period is over, the remaining balance will be paid. The person hired , just bring them here together, I'll wait here."
Because Changping County is quite close to the Jiangnan Lin family's sphere of influence.
In order to avoid problems on the road, Qin Feng simply sent Zhao Yulong to accompany him to protect Qin Xiaofu.
After Qin Xiaofu and Zhao Yulong left.
Qin Feng called Wu Wei in front of him again and explained: "I checked the files of the Ministry of Civil Affairs when I came here. The local prefect is named Chen Chenghao. He has been sitting in the post of prefect for twenty years. Although disasters occur frequently in this state, this guy His position is as secure as Mount Tai, which shows that he is a pedantic and incompetent person who is also good at protecting his own safety."
"Go to the state capital and tell Magistrate Chen that he will send a supervisor to take over the authority of the state capital and deal with the Changping County officials on the spot. If Magistrate Chen takes the right approach, we will be fine. If he refuses to help, Just tell that old ass that I don’t mind going to the state capital and blowing the wind of rectifying the officialdom in front of him. The saint only stipulated that I should rectify the officialdom, but he did not stipulate the scope and time of the rectification of the officialdom!"
"As long as the saint doesn't speak, I will naturally use these chicken-feather arrows to the extreme."
Wu Wei clasped his fists and left.
Finally, Qin Feng left Li Lang and his accompanying servants to guard the carriage.
Qin Feng took Jing Qianying and Xiao Xiangxiang and started the investigation on foot.
Xiao Xiangxiang followed Qin Feng closely. Although she felt deep sympathy for the suffering in Changping County, she felt more happiness in her heart. After all, Qin Feng had promised Xiao Xiangxiang that he would never leave her alone in Kyoto again. , now that Qin Feng is true to his word, Xiao Xiangxiang is naturally very moved.
In her extremely simple little heart, as long as she can be with the young master, no matter what she does, she will be extremely happy.
Xiao Xiangxiang couldn't help but grab the corner of Qin Feng's clothes, and secretly played a trick, letting Qin Feng pull her away, and whispered: "Master, what are we going to do?"
Qin Feng kept scanning his surroundings with his eyes and blurted out: "Looking for water."
Before Xiao Xiangxiang could speak, Jing Qianying took the lead and asked, "The entire Changping County is completely dry, where is the water?"
