When night fell, a bright moon rose on the sea, some people fell asleep, and some people were still working with torches.
Two months have passed since the flood. All residential areas have been repaired. Rice, vegetables and cotton have also been planted. Some vegetables have grown and can be eaten. The roads in the residential areas have been repaired and there are people working at the docks. , And some roads leading to surrounding states are under construction.
Workers only rest for four hours a day, including time for meals. They work in shifts to build their own homes. While other states are still waiting for the rescue food to arrive, Luzhou has already sold a lot of them. Of the goods, directly from the land of Zhejiang-Hangzhou for a short distance.
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t stupidly sell fish and shrimps there. He only sold some specialties from the mountains. There were none. A large amount of food was bought from there, some of which were reserved for the people to eat, and some were sent to the surrounding states. Use food to hire manpower to build roads and bridges.
There is not the kindness of the Zhang family in a circle of five states. Even if the governor of Qinzhou is a big family and has been entrenched in Qinzhou, his family will not spend so much money to build roads, nor will they buy food. , Waiting for the court to come to rescue, even if it was a little far away from Xin'anzhou, it was also hit by the disaster, and the governor didn't pay for it himself.
If the government doesn’t take money out, the people have to figure out their own way. They can’t starve to death. If there is no food to eat, they will eat some bark and wild vegetables. The three states next to the sea eat fish. Eat and work, waiting to collect enough of the mountain's special products, catch too many fish, and form a caravan to Luzhou to exchange food and daily necessities.
Zhang Zhong did not deliberately lower the price, but exchanged it at the usual market price. It has been two months. Now the Zhang family has got rid of the situation of making ends meet at that time, and has begun to sell the goods received, and the dried salted fish has also been sent to the capital. Send it over there, and you will be able to make money with this batch of dried salted fish in one month.
It can be said that with the help of Zhang Xiaobao's family, Luzhou has supported the six states and provided a way for the people in the six states to survive. After the replanted grain comes down, the other five states will be able to slow down.
Zhang Zhong’s prestige is the same in the six states. Almost his family gave the longevity rites. The people of the five states recovered a little bit and were able to eat their food. He picked mountain products, salvaged fish, and tribute. There were even more, and only then did outside merchants and local merchants begin to buy.
The price they gave was the same as that of Zhang Zhong. They considered the freight and thought that the people would sell the things to them, but the people had already agreed with the deal on Luzhou, and they formed a caravan to come over with Zhang when they had the things. Home transaction.
Zhang Xiaobao checked the account, looked at Wang Juan and said, "This is all right. All six states have been affected. This year, all taxes and taxes are free. The state government simply cannot accept anything. The people are bigger than before. With all my strength, everything has flowed to us. All the good things here will be out of stock from now on.
Now in Beijing and other places, the price of such goods should be doubled. To the east of Lingnan Road is Guangzhou, and there is also Jiangnan East Road, which is Zhejiang and Fujian. Our fleet also purchases a large number of coastal specialties. Fortunately, Sell some goods, or you really won’t have a penny.
I think this winter, how many times these goods can increase, saying that my family is stupid, then see who is stupid? As long as the money can be turned around in the family, it is impossible to make money without making five times the money. "
Wang Juan also knew that Zhang Xiaobao had lost so much money from the time of the flood, and it was not Zhang Xiaobao's character that he didn't want to make it back.
Thinking of the things that were piled up in the warehouse at home that were about to become very valuable, I was also very happy, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Is it transported to some more remote places to sell? For example, Turks and Tubo."
"No, that place is not suitable for our past. Selling individual people and letting them sell it there. The price is higher. If you can’t sell more, just sell part of it. We released the news that there are a lot of things here. Let the people from those two places bring their souvenirs to exchange.
When they come, we will push down the price of their goods and raise ours up to a level that is slightly lower than the prices sold to the Tubo and Turks by the people who went before. Let two The people from the place have money to make, but they can’t make much.
In order to gain greater benefits, they will continue to raise prices after they return. We can sell them to people who had previously sold them at a higher price. Tubo and Turkic goods will be sold here along the coast. In this way, We don't have to bear the risks when we are in contact, and others will not call us the high price of things, after all, it comes with the market. "
Zhang Xiaobao talked about the plan like tongue twisters. Wang Juan is not stupid. I understand it. He uses a small amount of precious goods to increase his own value. It feels like the goods he sells follow the market price. , But it’s actually pushing the price up on my own side.
When others risk their lives to sell back and forth, it’s the suppliers who make the most money instead of the middlemen. They use the sales prices of external places to increase the price of local supplies, especially those two places where there are many tribes, and each other There is also competition, which reminds Wang Juan of buying iron ore in China.
Zhang Xiaobao just brought up such a thing, so he gathered the entire Zhuangzi's stuff and talked with outside merchants. The price was the same, and the reason was traded. If you didn't want it, you would just find a merchant yourself.
Wang Juan felt that this method was really good. Just about to say something else, he suddenly reacted, turned Zhang Xiaobao's face, looked into Zhang Xiaobao's eyes and asked, "Xiaobao, is this all you planned?"
Zhang Xiaobao blinked. "Of course not. You don't know me. How could it be that simple? Our things and two places are not money transactions, but goods transactions. When they arrive here, you can try to generate popularity. , You don’t need to ask, I will continue.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after the value of the goods on the seaside increases, the things here will also increase. I am going to tell this news to the people in the surrounding state capital, and at the same time increase the purchase price, forcing the surrounding people Those merchants raised their prices.
In this way, the local people can make more money. Those businessmen who didn't help out hate us, so let them hate us. What do you think will be the end result? "
"The result is that our purchase price will offend many businessmen, and the people have made money." Wang Juan added, and at the same time, she felt that this was indeed the case. This is Zhang Xiaobao who she knows. As long as she has a plan, she will definitely not. It will be as simple as it looks.
"It’s not that simple. I think later, I’m not afraid to offend people. We are also traders of some ruined merchants. We are afraid of them? When the people have money in their hands, they naturally have to buy things. It can be improved."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't hide anything this time, but told the plan.
"It can still be like this, Xiaobao, let's talk about it, then, there must be more, just like when you pushed Sanshui County into Shang County and united seven counties into Zhou, quickly tell me how to calculate, I like to watch you sullen your head here and count others in."
Wang Juan’s greatest hobby is to dig out Zhang Xiaobao’s plan. Compared with Zhang Xiaobao’s plan, other people’s two birds with one stone and three birds with one arrow seem to be too simple. Zhang Xiaobao always takes action when others are confused. As long as he moves, That is the universe has been set.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't deliberately do this either. The main reason is that when he thinks about things, he unnaturally combines some of the things that are prone to problems and related things, just getting used to it.
Hearing Wang Juan asked, he had to say: "There is another point, hostility is not our goal. It is better to make friends to make enemies. Then I will reduce the amount of acquisitions here, and give other businessmen a portion of the profits, and unite them to Tubo and Turks. When we do business, we have common interests outside, and we can reduce conflicts here.
As long as the profits in the two places are sufficient, they will compromise and retreat to us here, and my father will develop more smoothly, and even let them come to invest. They have money, such as the Ning clan in Qinzhou. Better than us, not weaker than us, it is nothing more than their poor investment vision. "
Zhang Xiaobao wrote a few names on the paper. Wang Juan saw that they were all businessmen in the form of a family. Any one of them could compete with the Zhang and Wang family in terms of money and power. The difference lies in the time of their development. Long, the time for the rise of Zhang Wang's family is short.
These families are for stability, not as good as Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao uses cash flow and gives Zhang Xiaobao a hundred sticks. He dares to use the money as leverage. Any opportunity is caught by him. That is the fulcrum. The capital of being.
At this time, he had already converged enough, and he knew that to develop the industry, instead of at the beginning, it was cheating all the way to the end, no, it was investing all the way to the end, uniting the aspect.
Wang Juan didn’t want to admit it, but he had to admit that when Zhang Xiaobao was making plans, the gesture of waving the world and the light smile was indeed very charming. Perhaps the most correct thing Li Longji did was to Zhang Zhong sent here to save six states when disaster strikes.
Perhaps the worst decision Li Longji made was to send Zhang Zhong over, mainly Zhang Xiaobao followed. The emperor is high in the sky and the sea is vast. Who will look at Zhang Xiaobao? The place where you stretch your finger is the changing sea and sky.
Thinking of this, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, are you a good person? You have extreme nationalism, don't you?"
"Cuckoo, do you think I will treason? Don’t worry, no, it’s really a bit of nationalism, but my nation is not a single nation, just like our leading guard, it’s a big family. Actually, I’m really There is also a backstop, which is to let these merchants be drawn in and become spies for Turks and Tubo."
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
