Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 272 Driven by Capital

The master and apprentice met for the first time, and the first lesson Feng Yong taught Fu Qian was human nature, which was actually considered.

This little guy, now it seems that his temper is too straightforward, too easy to trust people, so he was tricked by Jiang Shu later.

Feng Yong felt that it was necessary to let him know the evil of human nature.

After finishing speaking, he gave Fu Qian a meeting gift, and then told him and Wei Rong to go down.

After dealing with Fu Qian's matter, Feng Yong began to listen to Li Qiu talk about the pastures, grasslands, workshops, mines in the mountains, etc. in Nanxiang these days. post over.

After receiving the name card from the servant, Feng Yong had just opened the name card, and the wind from his fan brought a faint fragrance to his nostrils. It seemed that the owner of the name card had sprinkled some kind of expensive incense powder on it.

The handwriting that came into view was very elegant, euphemistic and reserved, and one could tell it was a woman's handwriting at a glance.

The signature below the post is written with the word Li Mu.

Li Mu is the name of the sixth-bedroom girl of the Li family who lives next to the textile workshop. Feng Yong has checked her background and naturally knows her name.

It seems that she saw it when she came back, and as soon as she turned around and went back, she immediately sent someone to send a post.

Feng Yong pondered for a while, and said to the servants, "If you reply to them with my post, it means that I will be free tomorrow."

After dragging on for so long, Feng Yong has never formally met with the girl from the Li family. In the final analysis, it was because he had a psychological shadow on the old monster Zhuge.

Before I figured out the purpose of the other party's visit, if I could not meet with the other party, naturally I would try my best not to see him.

But this time the old demon Zhuge is willing to negotiate a new agreement by himself, so it seems that he will not deceive himself again.

Meeting this pawn at this time, it shouldn't be a big deal after all.

Thinking of the new agreement, Feng Yong looked at Huang Chong again and asked, "Yizhi, how is the harvest going?"

Feng Yong was able to give Huang Chong a hand at the risk of violating taboos. Apart from being optimistic about Huang Chong, the Huang family's willingness to subsidize Nanxiang's grain and come forward to collect grain is also an important aspect.

"Brother, our Huang family has already received the first batch of grain in Badi, and according to the news from Jincheng, many big families are willing to sell grain to us."

"It's just that brother, the road to Shu is difficult. If grain is transported from Shu, the loss may be considerable."

"Why don't I know?"

Feng Yong sighed.

At this time, the road is too difficult, the means of transportation are too simple, and the transportation efficiency is extremely low.

The road from Jincheng to Jianshan is easy to say. Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, once said that "travel on square rails", that is, vehicles can run parallel.

But the section from Jianshan to Hanzhong can only be said to be barely passable.

"I've thought about this a long time ago, so I came up with a solution recently, and told everyone to listen to it and see if it works."

Feng Yong looked around at the crowd and said, "I mean, we don't care about transporting grain, we only collect grain here in Nanxiang. Over there in Jincheng, let's release the news, no matter who sends grain, we will collect it."

"But if this is the case, the price of food will be much higher, and no one may be willing to send it."

Huang Chong felt that Feng Yong's thinking was a bit too taken for granted.

"As long as the price is right, no one will be unwilling. Don't forget, we are the only ones who have wool cloth in our hands. I plan to sell these wool cloth only in Nanxiang, and we can only exchange them with grain."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

It seems that no one has ever heard of this kind of practice, brother, and I don't know if it will work?

"I know that this kind of practice has never been done before, so it is normal for everyone to have doubts. But now we don't have enough manpower to transport food, so we can only try this way."

Even though he said this, Feng Yong still had certain confidence in his heart.

Don't underestimate the greediness of capital. The salt quotation method of the Ming Dynasty shows that even in ancient times, as long as there is enough profit, there will be enough motivation.

Wasn't the emergence of Shanxi merchant interest groups initially due to the method of salt introduction?

Even later, in order to obtain greater profits, Shanxi merchants did not hesitate to treason and secretly transported grain, salt and iron to the enemy.

So in the end, Feng Tubie is still looking forward to whether he will also raise an interest group that betrays the family in Sichuan.

The core of the salt method is to use the huge profits generated by the monopoly of salt to attract businessmen.

And the wool cloth in Feng Yong's hand at this time can be regarded as a monopoly.

Although the Zhuge old demon took most of the woolen cloth, and it is very likely that it will be circulated in Jincheng, such things as woolen cloth can be regarded as bulk traded goods.

The so-called bulk traded goods represent a huge demand.

As long as the wool cloth market is not saturated, there is no need to worry about unwanted problems.

Will the wool market be saturated?

Just relying on Feng Yong's hundreds of spinning and looms?

What are you kidding?

It's impossible to do it a hundred times more.

When is the territory of Dahan saturated? Where is Wu? What about Wei? What about Hu people?

Which one of the family does not have its own business name? Are they just trading in Dahan territory?

The old monster Zhuge also traded Shu brocade with Wu Wei in exchange for military funds to go to the Northern Expedition!

More importantly, even if there are more spinning wheels and looms, what about the raw materials?

Wool can only be obtained from the barbarians, which adds to the rarity of woolen cloth.

"Then what should be the specific regulations?"

What Feng Yong can think of, so can others.

As a son who has been cheated by his father, Huang Chong is the most sensitive in terms of revitalizing the family business. After all, he took refuge in Feng Yong, wasn't it just to support the Huang family again?

Huang Chong thought about the possibility carefully, and was the first to react.

He suddenly became excited, brother, this is, want to give the Huang family a chance to get back together?

"I haven't made up my mind yet, I just have a preliminary idea. The reason why I said it is to ask everyone, can this method work? If it works, then what kind of rules should we set up. After all One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is long!"

Both Li Qiu and Huang Chong can be regarded as sons of aristocratic families. In this regard, they are better at and better understand the bottom line accepted by the aristocratic family.

"Brother, although this matter seems to be quite different from the usual grain trading, it may not be impossible to try."

After Huang Chong expressed his approval, Li Qiu thought about it and agreed to the idea.

"It's just that the price of the grain and wool cloth is what, I'm afraid we need to think more about it."

"Yes." Feng Yong nodded, "So what I mean is to try to find a way to ask Jincheng more to see if anyone is willing to take over this job. If so, how much will they ask for, so we can make a charter. "

"Brother, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to my younger brother."

Huang Chong enthusiastically said, "Little brother, I will write a letter to my family tomorrow, and ask the elders in the clan to ask more questions and find out."

Feng Yong smiled, "The more you ask about this matter, the easier it is to set the rules. I'm afraid it's not enough for one person."

Li Qiu understood, nodded in response, "Little brother will also write a letter back to Nanzhong tomorrow."

As for Zhao Guang and others, chopping people with a knife is obviously more suitable for them than this kind of thing.

Because compared to the aristocratic families in Central Shu, most of the rich and powerful in Jincheng are poor ghosts!

"Okay, now that the business has been finished, and everyone is tired from the journey, it's better to leave here."

Li Qiu got up and said, "Brother, it's been a hard journey. Mrs. Mei has already brought people to make a welcome mat. After my brother finishes eating and drinking, please rest for two days."
