Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 50
According to the market in Zhongjing, the average adult’s selling price is about fifty taels. If they have skills or outstanding appearance, the price will have to go up.
If you give him money to buy his person, the other party becomes a domestic servant. But domestic servants also have to give monthly incentives. There have been tragedies in which the owner of the household has squeezed too much, causing the servants to rebel and burn their furniture. Therefore, the Daxuan Law has a certain rule: Anyone who purchases a servant should pay no less than six taels of silver per year. That is, the legal salary is at least five cents per month.
According to Wang Li, this earl’s mansion needs at least thirty servants. Among them, those who clean, wash, cook, and take care of the flowers and plants in the backyard are all indispensable. In the front yard, there must be some housekeepers and nurses, and the groom and the squad leader must have everything, otherwise, won’t the earl’s face still be lost?
Furthermore, can the servants of the Earl’s Mansion be compared with the servants of the average landlord and wealthy family? Naturally, they all have to have some identity background, preferably those servants who have been implicated in criminal officials and eunuchs.
What? One hundred taels? That’s the reserve price, starting at two hundred and two! Don’t think it’s too expensive, some people place an order for the Department of Internal Affairs in advance. Giving you the face, you can jump in the queue!
When people arrive in the mansion, how many summer clothes and winter clothes must everyone buy? Not to mention the monthly rules, there must be some rewards at the four o’clock and eight festivals. If the host is happy, it can’t be too shabby. It’s all about the count’s face when you say it out…
In Wan’an County, only Uncle Ping and Xiaohuan were the only ones who really sold themselves. Therefore, the servants in Zhongjing still have to recruit again. That’s it, it’s just the basic configuration.
In the future, I will be living frequently in the capital, so there must be some overhead for ushering in and transporting it. If you listen to a song on the hook bar, you should always give some reward.
Besides, Chen Xuan is going to get married in the future, this dowry——bah bah bah, I don’t want this!
Let’s just say that such a big house, if you don’t marry three wives and four concubines, who will live in these embroidered buildings and small courtyards!
It’s the face of the Earl’s Palace!
The family has some savings, and the annual revenue is four or five thousand taels, but that is the result of Chen Xuan’s personal management. If Chen Xuan leaves Wan’an, there may be no such amount.
Besides, he had already gone to the capital to become an earl, and he had also spent the money of his family in Wan’an County.
You said that Wan’an County was the fief of Chen Luo, how could there be no money? Chen Luo thought so too, but only when he asked Wang Li did he know that the so-called fiefs with real power were actually the three powers that possessed the fiefs.
The right to designate officials: Chen Luo can designate a person to serve as Wan’an County magistrate on the list of alternate officials given by the Imperial Ministry of Personnel for a term of three years. All promotions, rewards, and punishments are no different from other officials. This article seems to give people with high titles an opportunity to interfere in the political affairs. In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if you don’t have this article, people with real status want to cultivate their own officials, or recruit apprentices or marry or invest in advance, and some are means.
Feudal military power: Chen Luo can establish a personal army in Wan’an County of the fief. According to the regulations of the earl, the total number of the army can be up to 3,000 people. Without an edict, you cannot leave the fief, but there are fifty personal guards who can escort them along with them. This is also tasteless to Chen Luo. Why is he raising an army now? It’s not to fight for the world, and even the fiefs can’t be released. At most, plan for the fifty personal guards who can be brought out. ”
Fiscal and taxation rights: One-tenth of the income tax of Wan’an County is paid to the Qingzhou state treasury, one-tenth is paid to the Daxuan treasury, and the remaining 80% is owned by Chen Luo!
This one seems to solve Chen Luo’s problem, but it is not. There is a deadline in the title of fief, that is, the luck cannot be lower than a standard. Once it falls below the standard set by the imperial court, the fief will be withdrawn and the title removed. But if the luck cannot be low, then people’s livelihood investment will not be saved.
According to Wang Li, most of the nobles with fiefs, in order to improve their luck and win people’s hearts, reduce their taxes to the level of madness…
Then Chen Luo has doubts.
How do the fiefdoms earn their money?
Wang Li smiled.
Some fiefs have special products, which can be developed; some fiefs are located on the main traffic roads, and the road tax will be collected as soon as you put the road card; Gloves, collect money for them, and when the luck is about to drop below the standard, there will be a wave of harvest, which will not only gather wealth, but also improve the luck of the people…
One word, absolutely!
Chen Luo scratched his head, is Wan’an County so organized?
specialty? No.
Location? There are about six roads to bypass Wan’an County.
Do you want to dabble in illegal businesses? No, Chen Xuan will probably beat herself to death!
Chen Luo sighed: What use do I want this fief for?
Strictly speaking, with the thinking of Chen Luo’s previous life, it is not difficult to come up with an idea for the development of overall business characteristics. For example, invite great scholars to give lectures, ask Daojun to do practical things, and then come up with some bizarre legends and stories. Build a cultural tourism town and sell the land at a high price. If you can’t invest heavily in getting a high-standard school out, it will become a major school district.
Chen Luo in this whole process had never eaten pork in his previous life, but he has seen pigs run over 800 times, so he can definitely do it!
However, this plan requires investment in the early stage, and it takes time to get the money back.
It would be nice if there was a bank that would approve some loans.
Otherwise, ask Wei Yan if he can borrow it.
After all, it’s a senior, so it’s not difficult to give the junior some entrepreneurial funds, right?
Chen Luo thought for a while, but shook his head to dismiss the idea.
Even if this is the world of Xianxia, it is a feudal dynasty after all, and the degree of population mobility is too low. There can indeed be substantial benefits in the short term, but in the long run, the burden will inevitably fall on the aborigines in Wan’an County.
At that time, the luck will not go up.
What, you say demolition? What a joke, these people can’t accept high-rise apartments, the whole county is so big, who wants to play a two-for-one trick with you.
The plan to make a fortune is stillborn!
…
The east has already revealed a layer of bright red, and the light of the sun has swept away the darkness that enveloped the earth. Unconsciously, Chen Luo thought about it all night, but there were still no regulations.
It’s a shame, after graduating from university in my previous life, I went to the mountains to be a volunteer teacher with noble ideals. I was isolated from the modern city for too long, and I couldn’t think of a way to make money!
Fortunately, I have read a lot of novels about time travel, and I also understand some local methods.
”The great man said that without investigation, there is no right to speak!” Chen Luo stood up from the roof.
”Go to the streets and learn about the market.” Chen Luo thought to himself, “Although this is a world of immortals, with personal power that penetrates the sky and the earth, ordinary people always occupy the majority.”
”Perhaps there is still a huge market for cross-travel weapons such as glass and perfume!”
”Especially the glass, which I made with children in the mountains.”
Chen Luo was full of confidence, and suddenly a beam of light blinded his eyes. Chen Luo followed along and saw that on the roof of the central hall, there were several rows of tiles shining with the brilliance of the sun.
When he climbed up yesterday, he didn’t pay much attention because it was dark, but now Chen Luo took a closer look——
This transparent tile that is installed on the roof as a lighting window, is it…
Glass
