Vol 4 Chapter 2350: Planned economy

Liu Muzhi laughed: "Yes, that's it. It is impossible for these aristocratic families to disperse unless their families are divided. Therefore, only everyone can hold a group by themselves. It needs to be operated in the name of the government or Beijing eight. , Unite!"
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "If you want to be more specific, how can you unite and operate in a group?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "That is to put all the properties of the Beijing Eight Brothers under the name of the government. The shopkeepers and buddies in the shop will bring together the brothers’ family members and relatives in their hometowns, and train them first and then distribute them. In their respective stores, the wages will be settled according to a unified standard. The money earned by all stores every month, if added together, will be 50% for the owner, 10% for the shopkeeper, and 40% for the buddy."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "How can a store have ten or eight buddies? The shopkeeper is 10%, and the buddy is 40%. Does the shopkeeper have too much?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "After all, the shopkeeper has to manage the general direction. It must pay more than the other guys. In the current store, generally speaking, the shopkeeper’s wages are three to five times that of ordinary guys. There are even more good shops, which is different from the tasks and treatments of generals and ordinary soldiers in a march."
Liu Yu nodded: "Let's not talk about the shopkeeper. If the owner does nothing and just collect 50%, isn't it a bit too much?"
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "This ratio can be adjusted later, but at the beginning, I think 50% is necessary, because how did these industries come from? That was when the Beijing Eight Brothers took the risk of extermination when they established their righteousness. Don’t put your head on your trouser belt. These shops are in return for them. Now they give up the management rights, but the property rights are still theirs. Half and half are divided. I don’t think there is any problem. As for the shop after a few years of operation, if the shop If you grow bigger and bigger, then how will you divide it up?
Liu Yu nodded: "It can be done like this at the beginning, but are you sure you can make money by doing this? Even if there is so-called training, at most the store will be taken care of, but the aristocratic family you just mentioned, they have a way to let The things you sell are cheaper than the market price. How do you solve this problem? You know, if the things cannot be sold, there will be no income. In the end, these guys and relatives have to go back to the countryside."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "The aristocratic families want to recapture these industries. In the short term, they will lower prices like this. They want to destroy the shops of the Beijing Eight Brothers. But in the long run, they are unwilling to lose money like this. It is consuming their inventory and deposits. If we can make them understand that if we fight for the price, they can't fight it, so they will naturally have to give up."
Liu Yu's heart moved: "You mean, the imperial court will set the price uniformly, so such low-price sales are not allowed?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "That is for the necessities of life such as rice, salt, oil, and firewood. These can't live without them, and they are not expensive. The rice shops in the hands of the family and the salt shops also need to be taken from the court. Goods, after all, they now need to pay taxes to the state for the output of their manor in Wudi. Today, the price of rice in the main rice shops in Jiankang City is 20 yuan per rice. All shops are basically the same. Salt and oil are almost the same. In this case, there is nothing to worry about. If someone really drops the price of rice below fifteen yuan, let him sell it casually. The more you sell, the more you lose, because the imperial court price of rice shops is ten Eight coins and one bucket, and it is a fixed supply."
Liu Yu nodded: "Then you said that the main trouble is in silk?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the main living expenses in the capital are cloth and silk, as well as the price of wine and meat. Most family members do not have direct channels to produce wine and meat, so they have to build Kangcheng from here. Buy from the surrounding farms, many of them are still produced in Jingkou. If the imperial court prohibits major families and shops under their names from directly purchasing pigs, chickens, sheep, and wine outside in the name of countering the rebellion and preparing for war, then the wine and meat will be controlled. In the hands of the imperial court, at that time, just like rice, a standard selling price will be set, and a certain amount will be allocated according to the size of each restaurant and food shop in the city. If this amount is exceeded, the price will be increased. The more you collect, the more expensive you will sell. , Use this method to control the cost of purchasing the restaurant in the hands of the family."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's like a planned economy." Without paying attention, he came up with a posterity vocabulary.
Liu Muzhi's eyes widened: "What planned economy? I don't understand."
Liu Yu said haha: "That is to say, according to the plan and quota, the purchase amount of each store is allocated, and in the end it will be used for people's livelihood, economy, economy, and the people. Finally, it will be sold to the people, right."
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "You are really a bit surprised to send a slave. You can come up with your own words, economic, um, this is very good, but the economy is not only about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, more It's the emperor's merits, and fighting these is more important."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "For the people in the city ~EbookFREE.me~, they may not experience war in their entire lives, unless they are besieged in Jiankang again. This is a long way off. Let's use what you said. Plan to distribute."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Well, because we are still fighting, we can collect the rice, food, wine and meat around Jiankang to the national treasury in the name of the wartime supplies. The price is based on the current market price. The surrounding farmers suffer a loss, and they also avoid people rushing to buy them at low prices. The allocation of this piece is temporarily divided according to the staff of each store and the size of the shop. After a year and a half, it can be distributed according to the tax money paid and sold. The more you get the more points, the less you sell the less."
Liu Yu nodded: "This is not a big problem for rice, grain, wine and meat. At least the price can be stabilized in the early stage, but it is always impossible for the imperial court to purchase cloth, silk, and silk. Those are raw silk shipped from various places and processed in the capital. It is impossible for the court to have so many people to manage it."
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped, and his eyes were squeezed into a seam: "If you want to look at it in the long run, this kind of spinning and silk production can be scattered in the suburbs, and every family’s spinning wheel They are all concentrated together, fed together, and collectively produced. The women of our Jingkou family all spin cloth and endure hardships and hard work. People in other places will not be bad at doing this. It is not easy for them to come to Beijing to discuss life, but they are in their own hands. It’s not a big problem to do this in the village or the town. As long as you can find a spacious place in the village and put dozens of spinning wheels, the family’s wives will spin together to do things. Times, dozens of times!"
