Whether it is Jiangnan Group or Kunkaisi, it is all a company. Since it is a company, it must adhere to the interests orientation and cannot make losses. Otherwise, the shareholders will rebel and the company will have to shut down.

However, all the projects taken by Kunkaisi were worth losing money, because the government could not afford the cost of large-scale projects.

The Ming Dynasty was an absolute small government, with the government so poor that it was so poor. Even the richest county government like Changzhou, Wu County, could not keep up with a wealthy family, so how could it be able to pay for the dam repair money that could cost tens or millions of taels?

The solution given by Zhao Hao is to advance the project payment and Party A pays off the debt with the land use rights.

Whether this so-called "Kunshan model" can be successful depends on whether it can obtain enough profits from these lands.

Considering that the benefits brought by large-scale projects far exceed the economic scope, as long as the overall income and expenditure are offset or even a slight loss, this model can be promoted throughout Jiangnan, and Jiangnan Group will completely establish its foundation. No matter how wind and rain blow, I will remain unmoved.

Of course, it would be better if a positive cycle could be formed.

Therefore, Zhao Hao spent a lot of effort on these hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Kunshan County. Even if he only considers his golden sign, he will never allow the Kunshan model to become a business that loses money and gains publicity.

There is no reason why so many Jiangnan bosses are willing to obey his orders by taking him as their leader, but they are willing to listen to his orders, just because he can always win!

As long as you can move from victory to victory, your enemies will become fewer and fewer, and you can express your words and follow your words and do whatever you do.

After a long period of thinking and discussion, Zhao Hao finally decided to learn from the "employee family farm system" to uniformly plan the 600,000 mu of land in his hands and produce the business model of households.

The so-called "employee family farm system" is a new production model explored by state-owned farms in later generations after the reform and opening up, and is the application of rural contracts in state-owned farms.

It not only promotes the production of farm workers and improves productivity. It also avoids the shortcomings of farmers fighting on their own after contracting land, dispersing production, lack of planning, and the inability to promote some large agricultural machinery and new production-increasing technologies.

Specifically, it means contracting farm land to farmers in pieces and producing it on a family basis, but the farm manager and technician are responsible for a unified arrangement of production plans, unified planting mode, unified supply of seed farm tools, unified technical guidance, unified production cost assessment, and unified purchase and sale of agricultural products, so as to improve agricultural production efficiency and achieve the goal of high yields and increased income.

Moreover, the planting risks are borne by the farm, and the planting costs are also paid by the farm without interest, completely eliminating farmers' worries.

After harvesting, after deducting taxes and planting costs, all land income will be shared equally by the farm and farmers, which will ensure the farmers' enthusiasm for production.

Zhao Hao is confident that his system is still very competitive. But the problem is that Jiangnan Group has seized too much of Kunshan's labor force, so that there are not enough local farmers...

Dai Gao told Mr. Zhao that judging from the current situation, local farmers can only cultivate about 300,000 mu, and the remaining half need to recruit refugees to come to the county to cultivate.

Zhao Hao nodded. Natural disasters in the north of the Ming Dynasty, especially in Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and Shaanxi, where the vassal kings were proliferating, a large number of farmers took their families and abandoned their land and went into exile.

Zhao Hao has encountered this problem in Nanjing and Beijing. Whether it is his Xiaocangshan project or Beijing Xishan Company, he uses all refugees.

There is no way, who made our Master Zhao Bodhisattva heart? It’s not that we regard them as cheap labor...

The richest Jiangnan region in the country is naturally a place where refugees gather. Especially in large cities like Suzhou, the number of refugees outside the country can even reach 200,000.

Last year, the market in Suzhou was sluggish and a large number of workers were unemployed, but Kunshan was carrying out large-scale projects, which naturally attracted many refugees to work in the county.

Before the third phase of the project ended, Zhao Hao specifically instructed Kunkaisi to try his best to keep these refugees and let them continue to serve Kunkaisi.

Because the people of the Ming Dynasty were naturally wary of the rich. Especially these refugees who were harmed by the vassal kings and powerful people, it was even more difficult to believe any promises from their bosses.

Through last year's project, these refugees should have established basic trust in Kunkaiser. Letting them recruit new refugees is more effective than Kunkaiser's own call.

To this end, Kunkaisi announced that all the "agricultural workers" who have signed a contract can receive one tael of silver for each qualified agricultural workers recruited by the company.

The enthusiasm of these foreign refugees was mobilized at once. The so-called feathers of birds flocked together, and the refugees were also refugees who were in daily life. They took advantage of the opportunity to return to Suzhou to celebrate the New Year and promoted and motivated their fellow villagers. As a result, before the fifteenth day of the 15th, a large number of refugees left Suzhou City with their families and came to Kunshan along the Lou River.

"As of yesterday, 17,000 refugees have reported to our county." Dai Gao reported to Zhao Haohui: "In addition to Fucheng, we also set up more than a dozen recruitment sites in Songjiang, Taicang, and Wujiang. It should be no problem to recruit another 10,000 households by the end of the month."

"Well." Zhao Hao nodded and reminded: "We must properly place these farmers and workers, and do not conflict with local farmers. We must prevent infectious diseases. We may as well add nutrition to them before starting work, so that they can maintain their health and work harder."

"Young master is always so kind." The old man Gu Dadong is now full of flattery.

"Don't worry, young master, anyway, all the prepaid rations will be deducted when harvested, and we will not be stingy." Daigao was much more honest.

"You big landlords have a really good plan." Zhao Hao laughed and scolded, as if he had acquiesced to the point that 'the wool came from the sheep'.

"There's no way, young master." General Manager Dai repeated his catchphrase again and said with a wry smile: "Not to mention that we have never planted two seasons of rice in Kunshan before. No one knows what it can grow this year. Even if we planted it smoothly, it will be as high as two stones per mu, and only five stones per mu in two seasons. One stone has to be paid tax, and half of the fields have to be rented to the landlords. On average, the last acre is only two stones per mu, and the seeds, farm tools, fertilizers, and irrigation fees have not been deducted. If we provide food to farmers for free, we may have to lose money."

Gu Dadong and others nodded repeatedly with grievances. They also felt that the young master was too kind. He could bear all his burdens on him, but how could he make money?

"Hahaha." Seeing those bitter faces, Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "Don't worry, two seasons of rice will definitely be a great success. Pan Zhongcheng's family has been planted for more than ten years. We used to be unable to plant it because of the heavy flood every year."

After a pause, he said mysteriously: "Besides, I will go to you in two days and invite a Shennong of the world to help you increase the yield. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
