Chapter 749 Hello everyone is really good

Moreover, their own ships have always been qualified for transportation. Their own fleet and the personnel of the Ministry of Rites have become very familiar with each other in recent years.

By then, after the application is approved, our own fleet should be able to obtain the transportation qualification naturally.

Speaking of the books used in the imperial examination, Lord Pei also mentioned Rong Jin's uncles.

Earlier, Lord Pei received a letter from Rong Jin, asking him to help with the operation in Shangjing City, and the matter of applying for printing books has also been made progress.

Starting from August, Chengze Prefecture, where Han Dajiu works, should receive the books for the imperial examination sent by the Ministry of Rites.

Moreover, Lord Pei also secured the qualification for the transportation for Hualei's fleet. This is really good news.

Over the next two days, Lord Pei and Hua Lei, Rong Jin and a few others exchanged information and discussed many things.

When he heard that Hua Lei had exchanged corn seeds with Prefect Bao from the neighboring Xi'an Prefecture, and now had invited the liquor royal merchant Peng Dongjia to set up a winery in Xichang Prefecture, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

In this way, the tax revenue of Xichang Prefecture will be higher in the future. You know, apart from the salt and iron taxes, the liquor tax is the highest, which is also Lei'er's political achievement.

In addition, he also learned that Hua Lei lent his corn seeds to Bai Liyun for use in military farming, and he felt deeply moved.

At that time, Lei'er was almost stolen away by the old man Bai Wanli. Fortunately, I took the initiative. Lord Pei was somewhat relieved.

The matter was almost settled, and Lord Pei decided to return to the capital city early the next morning. No matter how Hua Lei and Rong Jin tried to persuade him, Lord Pei refused to give in. So the two of them had no choice but to agree.

When she was free at night, Hualei wanted to help Jinnian and Jinshi pack up. But she didn't know that Lord Pei had already packed up all the things for the two children.

From clothes to daily necessities, even the bellyband the child wore when sleeping was packed up. The small vertical well waterwheel in the yard for the child to play with was also dismantled by Marquis Pei and loaded onto the boat, saying that it would be installed in the back garden of the marquisate for the child.

Hua Lei didn't need to do anything. Early the next morning, under Hua Lei's reluctant gaze, Lord Pei took the two children on the boat and returned to the capital.

He stayed in the government office for another two days, reading through the many documents that had been piled up on the desks and needed Hua Lei's signature. After signing them, he sent them down.

Hua Lei began the next phase of the academy's construction, inspection and patrol work. She first went to Changhuizhou to check on the academy's situation and found no problems.

So, she went to Changliang Prefecture, where lychees are grown in abundance. As soon as she arrived at the Changliang Prefecture government office, before she even entered the gate of the government office, Hua Lei was surrounded by the local wealthy merchants who had been waiting for a long time.

Last year, lychees, which were not valued in Changliang Prefecture, became a magical fruit after their flower buds were transformed into fruits. The government of Changliang Prefecture and many wealthy people began to reap the benefits.

Therefore, the maintenance of litchi this year is considered a top priority. Therefore, the production of litchi this year will probably be more than 30% higher than last year.

The wealthy and businessmen gathered around the flower buds to sell this year's lychees, because they found that other people were imitating the making of kanjina this year.

To be honest, the production of Kanjina does not require much technical skills and is indeed easy to imitate. The wealthy merchants who participated last year are anxious.

They were also worried that their share of the lychee sales would be taken away, so they were anxious to find Hualei. However, Hualei was not in a hurry.

Because no matter who makes Kangina and sells litchi, as long as he leaves the territory of Xichang Prefecture, he needs to pay a certain amount of commercial tax to the provincial government.

Whether Zhang San paid or Li Si paid business taxes, they all went to her Xichang Prefecture Household Department, and they were all her achievements. She wished that more people could make kanjina.

If we ship out more lychees, the government can get more commercial taxes, and the people can also benefit more, thus improving their quality of life. What a good thing it is.

However, the wealthy gentry and businessmen present were very active in donating money to the academy before, and each one donated more than the other, so Hua Lei could not simply disappoint them.

Therefore, after listening to the concerns and complaints of the people below, Hualei comforted them. On the one hand, she asked them to go to the homes of the people who bought the goods last year and make an agreement.

She made an appointment to purchase lychees this year, and when the lychees are ripe, she would pay the balance. On the other hand, she also proposed a cooperative alliance.

That is, Changliang Prefecture will set up a lychee processing workshop in the name of the prefecture government, and everyone present can contribute money according to their needs.

These investors are all shareholders, and the money they invest is called shares. After the processing workshop is in operation, if there is a profit, they will get dividends according to their respective shares. Of course, if there is a loss, they will also bear it according to their own shares.

If you are willing to take up a position in the processing workshop, you can give additional monthly wages. If you don't want to take up a position, that's fine too, you can still get the dividends, but you won't get the monthly wages. It sounds similar to last year.

However, last year's was a one-off, but this year it is long-term. As long as you join this processing workshop this year, if there are no special circumstances, you will continue to operate like this next year, the year after next, and the year after next.

Of course, if someone wants to withdraw, he/she must transfer the proportion of his/her investment to internal personnel first. As long as the internal personnel do not want it, he/she can transfer his/her shares to external personnel.

Moreover, Hualei also said that this year, in addition to making Kangina to preserve fresh lychees, they will also make some lychees in sugar water to sell.

If there are surplus lychees, you can also make some dried lychees and sell them. Whether you sell fresh lychees, lychees in syrup, or dried lychees, you can make money.

You don't need to worry too much, just make an appointment to purchase lychees. If you can't get the original price, you can increase the price appropriately.

As for those who are already making Kanjina out there and want to get a piece of the action, Hualei said she can’t do anything about it.

After all, one cannot use power to suppress others and prevent them from doing business. As long as the other party pays commercial taxes according to the law, the court cannot arbitrarily monopolize a certain industry, except for salt and iron.

Otherwise, if reported and impeached by someone with ulterior motives, not only will you lose your official position, but everyone present will also be implicated, which will not be worth the loss.

When they heard that they might be implicated, they immediately shut up. Originally, they really hoped that Hualei would use her power to suppress those who wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Let Hualei forbid them to make kangina and forbid them to rob their lychee business. Obviously, this path is not feasible.

Looking at the quiet room, Hua Lei smiled and comforted him, saying that there is no need for monopoly. Sometimes, everyone's well-being is the real well-being.
