1957, Bamboo Industry
Mi Dashan and his family followed the team and found that the city was basically full of soldiers and not many residents. They seemed to be a group of civilians who came earlier.
The officer took them to a small square and parked in front of a wooden four-story building.
The building is very wide, ten feet wide. It is a small wooden building with a corridor. There are five doors open on the front. There are many people entering and exiting each door.
"Don't go around, wait here. You are a craftsman, so you will first settle your household registration. Then, with the household registration book, the people from the money shop will give you a loan. After you get the loan, you can buy a wooden house and rent a shop." The officer said.
"June, can we not pay the loan? I'm afraid we won't pay it back." A tall man said timidly.
"Only with a household registration book, you craftsmen have the money to rent a street-facing house in the city and open a store of your craftsmanship. This city needs you craftsmen to provide services."
"You are all extremely poor now. You don't have a loan to buy production materials and equipment. Besides, you should rent a store house in business. The rent also has to be paid. In addition, you will also be distributed to you outside the city. You must always have oxen, seeds, and farm tools. Which of these are the ones that cost money."
"But don't worry, the annual land output can also be used to repay the loan."
"June, is it true that the family you said before will give 100 acres of land?" Mi Dashan asked quickly.
He already knew that there were enough streams and water sources here. They were all irrigated land, and his heart suddenly became enthusiastic. If he really gave the land, not to mention one hundred acres, or ten acres of irrigated land, it would be a waste to run to such a far border.
As farmers, they know so much what irrigated land means.
The officer smiled and said, "You put your heart in your stomach. The Yang Mansion's policies have never been implemented.
However, you only have the right to use these places, but do not have the right to ownership. You can pass on your life's right to use to your eldest son and your family will be passed on from generation to generation. But you cannot buy, sell, rent or transfer."
"The Yang Mansion does not collect tenant rents in these places, and you do not need to perform labor service. But each of your household must have a strong man to participate in militia teams and conduct military training in your spare time."
"If there is war in the future, you will have to rely on military obligations."
The crowd suddenly started to discuss. When they heard about military service, they believed in the matter of dividing land. Because they all knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Free ones are often the most expensive.
But they are not afraid of going into battle. Even if they don’t come back, the land can be passed down to their children and grandchildren. If they can escape the heavy taxes and corvee service of their descendants, they would rather go into battle and fight. If their generation fights all the battles they can fight, their descendants can live a happy life.
Never underestimate how much sacrifice the Chinese people can make for the next generation.
When Zhu Di, Chengzu Zhu Di, in order to prevent the garrison soldiers from escaping, he led to his failure in Jingnan. He specifically promised that soldiers who participated in the Jingnan Campaign only needed to serve for their own life and their descendants could be exempted from their military family's hometown.
As a result, no one escaped, and for the sake of their descendants, they all lived in the army.
It’s so pitiful to all parents in the world. For the sake of their children, these people dare not escape.
The Yongle Dynasty was the dynasty with the least escaped military households.
In fact, the fucking design of the military household system has made the mistake of joining the army. This has turned the soldier into a slave to the officers.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, a large number of soldiers fled.
But Lao Zhu refused to admit that he had made mistakes and just tried his best to oppress the local officials to capture the fleeing military households.
The land distributed to them by the Yang Mansion did not rent or allow them to perform labor service. The projects were bid for the engineering team, and the engineering team spent money to hire workers to work. They could also accept military service.
There was a literate person who looked at the words on the middle gate and said, "The words "there are three words "City Hall" written on it. I don't know what it means. It seems that it is a special yamen for business."
In a short while, the soldiers brought their families into the hall.
After Mi Dashan and his family entered, they found a long counter inside. There was a young man sitting behind each counter.
"Come here, register first, and then apply for your household registration book." A person standing in the hall came over to guide them in the order of processing.
When Mi Dashan's family came out, they were holding a cowhide-covered household registration book, as well as a stack of grain coupons, oil coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, iron coupons, etc.
The supplies here need to be transported from the mainland. Buying intimate things requires tickets. It is not entirely free to buy and sell.
"Come here, go to the money shop stall to apply for a loan of 100 silver coins." As soon as they came out, someone immediately guided them to walk towards the table in the open space next to them.
On the tablecloth hanging in front of the table, there were a few big words written on the Dihua branch of Xinghe Money Village.
Mi Dashan's family came to the table. Several young people looked at their household registration and found that there was a craftsmanship written on the category column and a bamboo craftsmanship written on the industry column.
"I understand. Your family opens a store to make bamboo products. We are short of everything here now, especially various items. Your store will definitely be in a big fire."
Mi Dashan said worriedly: "I know how to craft, but there is no bamboo here. It is hard to cook without rice."
The young man smiled and said, "Don't you give your family a hundred acres of land? You can plant bamboo. This thing is reborn every year after it is cut down. There is no shortage of raw materials."
Mi Dashan asked in surprise: "Bamboo can be grown here."
The young man said, "Of course."
"Dihua area has a continental climate, with a dry climate, large temperature difference and sufficient sunshine, so it is suitable for planting bamboo. There are many types of bamboo suitable for planting here. You can leave the food fields and plant the rest of the bamboo to solve the raw material problem."
"Seedlings can be sent to the city hall to request the mainland to be transported. There are many kinds of food here, and the city hall will support it."
Mi Dashan said excitedly: "That's great. As long as there are raw materials, there are too many things that bamboo can make."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bamboo can make a variety of items, including furniture, handicrafts, food, building materials, etc.
Bamboo can make various furniture, such as bamboo beds, bamboo tables and chairs, bamboo wardrobes, bamboo tea tables, bamboo bookcases, bamboo shoe racks, bamboo screens, bamboo curtains, etc. These furniture not only cost less than wood, but also have a unique texture and beauty. These new immigrants are afraid of poverty, and bamboo furniture will definitely be easy to sell.
Mi Dashan thought happily that bamboo could also make various crafts, such as bamboo cups, bamboo umbrellas, bamboo pen holders, bamboo fans, bamboo weaving baskets, bamboo lamps, etc. These crafts are not only beautiful, but also have practical value, and are indispensable in life.
When planting bamboo forests, you can also dig bamboo shoots every year. Bamboo shoots are delicious, and pickled into sour bamboo shoots can be preserved for a long time. This thing is definitely easy to sell. Dihua is also in the winter for half a year. There are fewer vegetables to eat in winter, and sour bamboo shoots are better than dried vegetables.
Bamboo shoots are the young buds of bamboo and can be made into various foods, such as clear water bamboo shoots, smoky bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, etc.
In addition, bamboo tube rice is also a specialty delicacy.
In addition to selling various items in your own store, you can also let your wife and daughter set up a stall at the store door to sell food. Selling bamboo rice, fried bamboo shoots, braised bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots, etc., which can also make a lot of money.
Besides, there are so many new immigrants outside the city, so they always have to build houses or something.
Bamboo is an ideal building material that can be used to build fences, gazebos and even whole houses. Bamboo is lightweight and has good earthquake resistance. The key is that it is cheaper than wood.
If it is not possible, making bamboo chopsticks is also a way to make money. Who doesn’t need chopsticks to eat? Iron is so expensive, spatulas, spoons, etc. are cheaper bamboo products.
Mi Dashan thought carefully and the more he thought about it, the more he had a chance.
Bamboo can also be used to make paper, bamboo salt and bamboo charcoal, etc. Bamboo pulp can replace wood pulp to make paper, while bamboo salt and bamboo charcoal have unique uses respectively. They can be sold to rich people.
If you eat up the bamboo thoroughly and use up all the benefits, your own store will really make a fortune.
"Official, can we do this?"
