She Song

Chapter 91 Cai You’s “Map Cannon”

If Zhao Ji is dissatisfied, naturally someone will come forward.

Cai You immediately appeared to suppress all forces.

"Everyone! The government decreed that Caipu will be organized for the benefit of the homeless people, not for the benefit of you and other idle people. Everyone is rushing to jump out. Do you still have the magnanimity of a court official?

What's more, the reason why Caipu can be so successful has its own mysterious key, which cannot be manipulated by just any cat or dog!

Don't be dissatisfied, you can come out and debate. If someone really convinces Cai, and really convinces the public, he will be able to do whatever he wants when it comes to returning to the country! "

I'll go and challenge all the officials in public. Is Cai You crazy?
It is well known that you are ignorant and ignorant, but you still dare to speak out and debate in front of the public?

Some people couldn't stand Cai Youmei asking for favors, so they immediately stood up and attacked.

"The British gentleman is very knowledgeable, and I, like those who are in the business, admire it. If I talk about other things, I dare not talk about it. But as we all know, the lottery is similar to ordinary gambling. Ask the British gentleman, how to make it so mysterious?"

Cai You looked at the other party. He was a senior person in the Ministry of Finance and Accounting, known as the "iron abacus".

After Han Xiaoyao's prompting, Cai You asked with a smile: "Then tell me, why are lottery tickets priced at ten cents each, not two or three cents, or twenty or thirty cents? Also, first, second, third and charity awards , why is it set like this?”

Iron Abacus had an understanding of Caipu, knew the input-output ratio, and had compared the form with other Guanpupamai, so he came out to challenge with confidence.

But Cai You didn't follow the routine and asked him about pricing and award setting strategies, which was no less than a slap in the face.

Scientific pricing and reward setting strategies actually need to understand the residents’ disposable income and the psychological expectations of lottery players. If the price is too high, the number of people participating will not be effective, and if it is too low, the economic cost and time efficiency will be greatly reduced. .

Han Xiaoyao has been investigating the consumption index of Tokyo residents since he spent three pennies in Wazi. Although it is only a preliminary sampling, it is generally enough to draw a psychological range of consumption of ten coins per voucher.

In fact, nine texts were the best, but ten texts were ultimately chosen to facilitate Hanji Caipu's employees to make statistics, and also to allow all parties to intuitively draw profit conclusions.

Seeing that the other party was speechless, Cai You said with a smile: "If you can understand how much ordinary Beijing officials, officials, soldiers and coolies earn every day, how much they spend, what their balance is, and what their expectations are? Then you can come up with Caipu. Reasonable pricing of coupons.”

Seeing that the other party was thoughtful, Cai You asked again: "The large amount of money raised by Caipu, how should I use it?"

This is considered the specialty of asking the iron abacus, and he immediately answered: "Of course it will be used for various expenses of the imperial court..."

"Ha~" Cai You shook his head contemptuously, showing an expression that was nothing more than this.

"If the income is 100 million guan, your household department may make it 200 million or even 300 million guan?"

Iron Abacus immediately retorted: "British Lord, this is above the court, how can you make such ridiculous remarks?"

"I know that this place is a court. Because of this, I remind you, don't pretend to understand. Your eyes will turn red when you see someone making money. So it is right to want money, but you also have to have it. That ability?"

Tie Baanpan blushed and felt thick-necked by what he said, and almost couldn't breathe.

Cai You was so arrogant that his map cannons fired at all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Some people couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, what's the British idea to turn 100 million into 300 million?"

"Spend all this 100 million first!"

Well?Um?
After a moment of silence, the officials were in an uproar.

Is this your British father’s “high opinion?”

Not saying that the money has not increased at all, but instead spending it all, it is a big joke in the world!
"When it comes to spending money, everyone in the court is indeed inferior to the British Duke, but we are talking about how to get 200 million more, not how to use up 100 million! Officials, please issue an order to reprimand the British Duke and punish him for the crime of contempt for the court!"

Zhao Ji found it very interesting and asked with a smile: "British Sir, someone wants to punish you, can you admit it?"

"Official sage! Wei Chen has not finished speaking. If there are still people who want to be punished after speaking, Wei Chen is willing to be punished."

After setting up his posture, Cai You said loudly: "People are different, so the way of spending money and the final results are also different. Hiring people to reclaim wasteland only costs a hundred cents per acre at most. How much cultivated land can you get with 100 million guan? ?”

Huh?
Most people are moved by this idea. The price of wasteland is four to five hundred yuan or even lower per mu, but after reclamation, it can be sold for at least three or four yuan.Cai You said so, one in and one out can indeed double the 100 million yuan several times.

But some people are just bullies.

"The reason why it is a wasteland is that it is desolate and uninhabited. Isn't it worthless if it is reclaimed and uncultivated?"

"How much is it worth to hatch two chicken eggs for one penny? How much is it worth to raise them to grow up? How much is it worth to make them lay eggs every day?"

buzzing...

All the officials in the hall were whispering to each other.

They looked at Cai You with admiration today, but they didn't expect that the ignorant, dandy and sycophant would actually refute the elites of various ministries with his witty remarks.

Before they could take a breath, Cai You continued to pursue.

“Even ordinary farmland will become more valuable if it is replanted with vegetables, flowers, trees, fruits, or even fish and shrimp.

Therefore, money in your hands can only be a certain amount, but in the hands of the right person, it can become more. "

This is when some people started to panic.

"If this is the case, if no one grows rice, grain, mulberry and hemp, wouldn't it mean that everyone will starve to death and freeze to death and the world will be in chaos?"

"呲~"

Cai You said with a smile: "Not everyone can master planting and breeding. Moreover, things are rare and expensive. When there is a shortage of rice, its price will inevitably rise. Farmers will naturally grow grain when they see it."

The other party asked: "With the price of rice grain rising, how can people satisfy their hunger?"

"You can either grow rice or grow flowers, papayas and fruits to sell for money. As long as you are willing to farm and work, how can the people have no food to eat?"

The reason why Cai You easily resolved various problems was mainly because Han Xiaoyao cited a large number of simple examples, and Cai You himself was a shrewd person.

After understanding the two key points of increased liquidity and value creation through labor, Cai You, who graduated from the crash course, was able to cope with these officials who were studying for their high lofty positions.

Zhao Ji was extremely happy when he saw Cai You refuting the officials speechlessly.

During the Song Dynasty, [-]% of the annual income was used for military expenses. In addition to the salaries and rewards for the bloated official team, only a little was left for regular expenses such as river management, road construction, worship, culture and education. The actual expenses for relieving the victims were very little. , it may not be a million dollars in a year.

Therefore, the official of the Great Song Dynasty finally made a generous decision: the lottery poker will be monopolized by the royal family, and the funds raised will be used to relieve the victims and reduce the burden on the court.

Even if he spent 100 million yuan, he would still have 500 million yuan, so Zhao Ji was in a very good mood.

Cai You defeated hundreds of officials, the emperor spoke eloquently, and the royal caipu finally made the final decision.

Wang Huan learned the news immediately and was so excited that he rushed to Han Ji Caiba to announce the good news.

Lu Tong also saw through the autumn water and got what he wanted today.

Because of his meritorious service in the Caipu relief operation, he was regarded as a "lucky general" by Cai You and was included in the list of royal Caipu managers. It is said that he was promoted to three levels in a row and became an official of the eighth rank.

Lu Tong seemed to see smoke rising from his ancestral grave.

Before Lu Tong could be happy, Cai You and Han Xiaoyao had already quarreled in Han Ji Caipu's reception room.

The reason is very simple. Han Xiaoyao told Cai You that if he wants to achieve the goal of making a profit of tens of millions a year, he needs money. For example, when will the [-]% of the official family's money be received?
Cai You was stunned.

What?
Are you kidding me?
Taking [-] yuan from me is already too much, but this time you want to take money from an official's pocket?

In front of the civil and military officials of the court, the official named it Royal Caipu personally. Are you planning to slap the official in the face?
