Start by traveling through the Widow's Village

Before Xiao Yuan could answer Mo Ping's question, Su Youde waved his hand and said, "According to what this Xiao Gongzi said, is it to let the county official come forward to do business?" Let's not talk about whether you can make money, just such a thing, you can't do it!

Mo Qing on the side also nodded and said: "That's right, Brother Xiao, this collusion between officials and businessmen is originally a taboo, and you still let Su County Ling do business in the name of the county magistrate, how is this possible?"

"It's not... No! Xiao Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "I don't mean that!" How to explain it? Take this corn as an example! If this corn is only available in our De County, there is no other place..."

"Corn is being grown throughout the north!" Even in Kyoto! How can it be that only Dexian has it? Before Xiao Yuan could finish speaking, Mo Qing whispered.

"I mean if, this is just a hypothesis!" Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes and replied.

"Good, good, good... You go on, I don't interrupt you! When Mo Qing heard this, he covered his mouth and replied with a smile.

"Whew~" Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and continued to Mo Ping and Su Youde: "Taking corn as an example, we also have merchants in De County, but the usual transactions are around De County!" First of all, corn is grown in every household on our side, so it can't be sold at a price, if you go too far, you can't earn back the transportation cost alone, and the merchants naturally won't do it!

"But if the government comes forward, sets up a caravan, and the caravan buys corn in a unified manner, and then transports it to the neighboring state capital, they don't have corn there, so the price we sell will definitely be higher, plus the amount is large, and the funds for one transaction will be more!" After our caravan recovers the funds, we buy some of what we need, and they have a lot of cheap supplies to transport back, isn't it equivalent to us exchanging corn for their low-priced goods?

"And because of the participation of the government, the county can better control the price of goods, such as things that are transported back, and the merchant can sell it to the people of Dexian at a slight markup, instead of selling it at the price arranged by the merchant himself!" There is also the purchase price of corn, which can also be slightly increased accordingly, which ... Isn't it Huimin? "

As for the alleged collusion between officials and business... The county commander did not participate in the commodity trade, all the official government had to do was set up a caravan and secretly control the price!

Xiao Yuan's words made Su Youde and Mo Ping fall into deep thought, they were thinking about the feasibility of this method, but Princess Ankang, who had been sitting next to Mo Ping, after hearing Xiao Yuan's words, her eyes flashed, she already felt that this caravan contained huge business opportunities.

"Xiao Gongzi's words are indeed very reasonable, but... How can this set up a caravan make merchants willing? Without making heads, I don't think these merchants will join our caravan, right? Su Youde was worthy of the county order, and soon discovered that there were some unreasonable places in the plan.

Mo Ping, Mo Qing, Princess Ankang, and even Tang Wanshun all looked at Xiao Yuan one after another, wanting to see how he solved it.

"It's simple, Benefit!" Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Businessmen pursue profits, things that are not beneficial, they will not do it, then we will give them benefits!" "

Will Ji be released?" Su Youde arched his hand and asked.

"I also ask Lord Prefectural Commander, is it more profitable for those merchants to sell corn that every family has around De County, or is it more profitable to sell corn that they do not have in neighboring state capitals?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it is more profitable to sell in the neighboring state capital, but you also said that this transportation cost is probably a big expense!" Su Youde replied in a deep voice.

"Huh... Their merchants naturally can't afford to transport it, how much corn can they transport at once? The value of the corn sold naturally does not earn back the freight, but the caravan is different, we are a large amount of transportation corn, naturally some earn! Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

It's just that after he finished speaking, he found that everyone was still looking at him puzzled.

"What's inside? What's the difference? After a while, Mo Qing asked.

Xiao Yuan was suddenly a little speechless and said, "You... Don't know the difference? Everyone

, including Tang Wanshun, shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"Xiao Gongzi, this transporting a cart of corn costs one or two silver, and transporting ten cartloads of corn naturally costs ten taels of silver, what is the difference?" Su Youde arched his hand and asked.

Xiao Yuan was a little helpless, so he had to explain: "Let me ask you, where does this transportation cost come from?" For example, a cart of corn costs one or two silver, why one or two silver? First of all, to transport corn I need a carriage, and I also need an escort! This man eats horses and chews, so he needs a silver or two! Right? Because the carriage can be reused, I will not count it in the transportation cost here!

Everyone nodded, they all knew that.

"Then I transport a wagon and need a horse, a person! So if I transport ten wagons, do I need ten people? Xiao Yuan continued to ask.

Mo Ping shook his head and said, "Then don't need to, at most four or five people is enough!"

"Moreover, assuming that the cost of transportation at a time is one hundred taels of silver, one merchant cannot afford it, but can ten merchants still not afford it?" Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was indeed a difference.

"Moreover, personal business is also different from caravan business, you go alone and go to the neighboring state capital, it is very unsafe, but after everyone huddles to warm up, it is much safer!" Seeing this, Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "What's more, this is still a caravan organized by the government, isn't it safer?"

"In addition, in addition to the benefits, leaders are also needed! But within this De County, who else is more suitable than the Mo family? As long as the Mo family agrees to join the caravan, I think the county commander should not have to worry about the number of merchants!

Sure enough, when Su Youde heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the two brothers Mo Qing and Mo Ping.

"Although my Mo family is obligated to do this, it is still impossible to decide this matter, what are the goods traded by this caravan? How is the price negotiated? These still need to be considered, but please rest assured that after we go back, we will truthfully inform the clan elders and try our best to promote this matter! Just before Mo Ping was about to say yes, Princess Ankang suddenly spoke and said.

After Mo Ping and Princess Ankang got married, everything in the family was taken over by Princess Ankang, and the business that the Mo family gave to Mo Ping has always been managed by Princess Ankang.

Although she still didn't understand Xiao Yuan's caravan plan very well, she instinctively felt that it would not be so simple.

Su Youde was stunned, but soon relieved, this is not a trivial matter, several of their Mo family juniors can not decide, even if they agree today, the Mo family elders do not agree to it is in vain.

So Su Youde nodded, arched his hand towards Mo Ping and the two, and said: "In this way, please two!" Although

Mo Ping and Mo Qing didn't know what An Kang meant, since she had already said it, the two naturally wouldn't object.

A few people were in this private room, and carefully discussed the possibility of caravan and the points that needed attention, until Uncle Wei came in and told Su Youde that someone from the Yamen was looking for him.

After Su Youde left, Mo Qing said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Xiao will not have to worry about this Su County Order finding trouble for you in the future!"

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he also smiled and said: "It's too early to say this, whether the caravan can be formed, and it depends on whether there are suitable goods, otherwise everything is just empty talk!"

Mo Ping gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Xiao, if nothing else, you can think of this idea is already great, as for whether it can be achieved, it needs Su Youde to work hard!"

After everyone chatted for a while, Mo Qingcai asked curiously, "By the way, is there something wrong with Big Brother Xiao coming to Dexian today?" "

Ah~ my chick!" Xiao Yuan immediately remembered that he had also ordered a chick boy from Hu San, he hadn't passed for so long, the other party was afraid that he would misunderstand him for no-show!

"Huh? Chicks? Mo Qing and the others were confused.

"I didn't have time to explain to you, I still have business, I have to go first!" I don't know if Hu San is still waiting for him, Xiao Yuan directly got up and planned to leave.

"Slow down, slow down, don't worry, make things clear!" Is there anything I can do to help? Mo Qing grabbed Xiao Yuan, who was about to leave, and said with a smile.

In desperation, Xiao Yuan had to tell him about buying chicks in the city today.

"So it is, but... This autumn harvest is about to enter winter, this time to raise chickens... Is there really no problem? Mo Qing didn't understand this, but Mo Ping, who had been in the North Gate for more than half a year, knew some.

Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "We don't live in the county town, there are places in the village, we only need to raise the chickens, they can go out and find something to eat by themselves!" I want to see if this method works, if so, I can buy more chickens next year, when there will be not only eggs, but also chicken to eat, and even create a subsistence for the village and improve the living conditions of the villagers!

"This... Brother Xiao will still breed? Mo Qing hesitated and asked.

The main thing is that this breeding technology and Xiao Yuan seem to be a little incompatible.

"Nope!" Xiao Yuan shook his head and replied, "But it doesn't matter!" No, just learn well!

Everyone was speechless for a while.

However, before Xiao Yuan left, after thinking about it, Mo Qing still spoke: "Brother Xiao, don't go back after you finish it, today's caravan matter, we must discuss it with the clan elders when we go back!" When the time comes, you go back with me, and I will ask you in time if there are any questions about me, how?

"This..." Xiao Yuan didn't want to agree, especially since he still had Tang Wanshun and the three on his side, but people had just helped him solve the trouble, and if he didn't agree, he would be a little embarrassed, so he had to look at Tang Wanshun and the three and ask their opinions.

"It's up to you!" Just by glancing at each other, Tang Wanshun understood what he meant and said in a low voice.

"Okay then!" Xiao Yuan nodded and replied.

"Well, Fourth Brother, you go back and talk to the clan elders first, I'll accompany Big Brother Xiao!" When Mo Qing heard this, he said with a smile.

Mo Ping naturally had no opinion and left directly with Princess Ankang.

And Xiao Yuan just smiled and did not object.
