Chapter 365: The Rabbit Breeding Model of the Company and Farmers
The package that Xiao Shitou brought contained a woolen shawl, which is a must-have for Di women to keep warm.
This shawl is made of coarse wool with mixed colors. It feels prickly when you hold it in your hand. It is the roughest and lowest quality, not as good as the headscarf that Song Liyun usually gives.
Madam Ke Yun was overjoyed. She covered her face with her shawl and sobbed for half the night.
Time flies and it is the end of February. A major event happened in Qili County.
Zuichunlou and Jinxilou were suddenly closed down!
The incident happened so suddenly that Huang Changsheng, who was still checking the account book at the counter, didn't react.
When he learned that the officer leading the team was from the provincial government and that they were investigating the property of Lin Qinghua in Pingyang Prefecture, he immediately cried out that he was wronged.
These soldiers were not locals, so any plea was useless.
They only acted according to orders from their superiors. The case file required them to search Zuichunlou and Jinxilou, so they naturally carried out the order without any compromise.
Amid the discussions of the crowd and the cries of Huang Changsheng and Shen Leyan fighting for the land, the two restaurants were not only ransacked but also sealed with two seals.
This is not the first time that Zuichunlou has been closed.
Last year, the Qili County Magistrate Jiang Feng sealed the business once for tax evasion, but it was just a token gesture. The business was reopened after the fine was paid.
But this time it was different. The wide sealing paper almost covered the entire door of the store, and the tense atmosphere made the onlookers dare not make any noise.
Jiang Feng received officials from the capital in the office of the county government.
"Magister Jiang, this matter originated from your Qili County. According to the law, you should suspend your post to avoid suspicion." Sitting at the top were two officials from Beijing who came to handle the case.
Jiang Feng was originally a Tongpan (court judge), and his memorials were directly heard by the emperor. Although the new emperor was busy with affairs, he still forwarded the memorials directly to the Censorate.
The two adults from the Censorate came at this time.
Jiang Feng handed over the county seal and said, "Master Zhou, I have been in office for over ten months and need a two-week leave to go home and visit my family."
The man called Lord Zhou's face froze and he did not take the county seal.
Another person smiled and said, "Jiang County Magistrate, you are only suspended from duty. You cannot take a vacation and you need to cooperate with the investigation at all times. It is not appropriate for you to travel. This official seal should remain with you!"
Jiang Feng stopped being pretentious and put the official seal back into his sleeve.
The files submitted to the capital years ago have finally begun to be reviewed.
Because officials accepted bribes and committed favoritism and fraud, in addition to Master Lin who was taken away from his home, all the officials in Songfeng County and Qili County will also be investigated.
Jiang Feng was naturally not afraid of the investigation from above, and even wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a vacation.
But it seems that these two adults will not let him go.
How could he know that the two officials from Beijing sitting in front of him had been nervous since they stepped into Qili County.
If it were any other place, these officials from the capital could still put on airs, but this is a dangerous place.
In the west hall of the Censorate, the files of the Yunzhou Suijin tragedy six years ago filled half a cabinet, and the severed heads were still covered in blood.
They know what is involved better than anyone else.
Although the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is inevitable that the previous emperor took this opportunity to suppress the Zhenbei Army.
Therefore, Zhou and Sun, the two officials in Beijing, just wanted to find evidence quickly and leave.
In Suijin Town, Song Liyun had already received the news from Tianxiang Tower. Xiao An even ran back to tell her that the two buildings were sealed, but his focus was not on sealing the buildings.
"Second sister, Brother Lin said that Tianxianglou can buy out Zuichunlou and Jinxilou in the future, so I can open a rabbit shop!"
Xiao An laughed and looked happy.
He has been working in a restaurant for more than a month, being led by a group of soldiers, and his speech and actions have begun to become wild.
Song Liyun rolled her eyes at him and teased him, "You only sell one rabbit a day, and you dare to open a restaurant?"
Xiao An was anxious: "It's not that I only want to sell one rabbit, it's you, Second Sister, who forbade me to do so, saying something about 'chicken and duck marketing'. Brother Lin said that the customers' reservations are all booked up until next month."
Hearing him refer to "hunger marketing" as chicken and duck marketing, Song Liyun narrowed her eyes and smiled.
There is a shortage of rabbits now, so we dare not eat them freely. We can only sell one rabbit a day, and we have to make an appointment. It’s full of hype, and people’s appetite has been whetted.
Seeing Song Liyun laughing, Xiao An thought he was wrong and quickly counted on his fingers: "Forty rabbits are needed! The little rabbits need to grow quickly! Grow quickly! Ah! I'm going back to feed the rabbits!"
Xiao An counted his fingers twice and found that there were not enough rabbits in the backyard to sell.
He did not stay at Yu Ruixiang. He ran out, jumped on his horse, and ran back to Baolinju to feed the rabbits.
After Xiao An left, Song Liyun said to Abu, who had returned after hearing the news, "Abu, you stay here and watch. I'm going to the garrison."
"Young Madam, I just heard Xiao An saying something about not having enough rabbits. Did the rabbits in the backyard run away?"
Abu looked at the direction Xiao An left with a puzzled look on his face.
In the winter, the Wuda people in the Huangsha River Valley caught several batches of rabbits and sent them over. Now there are hundreds of rabbits in the backyard, and it is almost impossible to keep them all.
Song Liyun said, "I went to Captain Luo to discuss this matter. I want those dozens of military households to raise rabbits."
Baolinju cannot become a rabbit warren.
The weather is going to get hot soon. It was okay before when there were fewer rabbits, but now there are hundreds of them, it's bound to be very noisy.
Although there is a separate door to the backyard and the rabbit house is separated from the front, it is still uninhabitable.
She had previously told Jiang Feng that she wanted farmers in Qili County to raise rabbits.
But without seeds and technology, people would not believe what we said, so we had to promote it among the military households in Suijin Town first.
In the garrison, Captain Luo became excited when he heard there was a way to make money, and immediately ordered people to find the dozens of soldiers whose families were accompanying them.
These people's homes have already moved here.
Although every family had a house and land, and the soldiers received a monthly salary of 500 to 800 coins, the family still felt that the money was not enough for food and drink.
Compared to larger towns, there are fewer places to make money in Suijin Town. Now that they hear that they can help raise rabbits, everyone is interested.
I've never raised one before, so I don't know how to take care of that lively little thing that jumps around all over. I feel a bit embarrassed.
Song Liyun reassured them: "We'll send someone to teach you how to raise rabbits. Now that we don't have grass, you can borrow rabbit feed from Yu Ruixiang and get paid after selling the rabbits."
In Song Liyun's mind, this is the simplest company plus farmer business model.
In the sergeant's opinion, this was a business with no capital.
Take the rabbit home first and eat the rabbit feed first. You just need to build a rabbit hive and let the women in the house who are too idle to do anything but quarrel and argue feed the rabbit. You can exchange it for money in two months.
The dumb ones were still wondering how much money they could make from one rabbit, but the quick-witted ones had already shouted, "Miss Song, my family has many people and my wife is hardworking, so we can raise fifty rabbits."
Song Liyun smiled and said, "You don't even have a rabbit house right now, so why not raise five first?"
She decided to keep the female and male rabbits in her backyard and only give the baby and fattening rabbits to others to raise.
The number of rabbits allocated is limited. There are more than 20 families here, and each family can only get five rabbits.
After some discussion, Song Liyun asked them to select someone who was skilled in building walls to go to Baolinju to learn how to build rabbit houses, while the others went back to prepare the site for building the rabbit hives and get the job done as quickly as possible.
As a result, the military household area immediately became chaotic and noisy.
