The delicate wheat flour left the stiff bran and had a soft body like Wu Yue.

This inconspicuous thing that will change the eating habits of two thousand years north of the Huai River is not the first time I have appeared in the world, but it is the first time I can show that I can be so graceful.

For those who invite ink to dinner, they only want simplicity. This is a saving effect, as long as you can eat it.

In the eyes of the ink master, wheat flour is a skill that benefits others, while carving flower rolls is a bad habit for others.

It is appropriate to invite businessmen to dinner and strive for complexity. This is profit and must be exquisite.

In the opinion of the merchant, wheat flour is the skill of profitable, and carving flower rolls is the skill of profitable profit.

Guan Zhong, a pioneer of Keynesianism, once said that it is best for a wealthy noble family to burn carved firewood even if they are fired. In the desolate years, a large-scale construction will allow hungry people to have food to eat. The more disasters they encounter, the more trouble they will not let the nobles pretend to be concerned about the victims and not be extravagant. Only by allowing wealth to circulate, supporting more handicraftsmen, promoting the redistribution of wealth, and the victims will have food to eat to survive the desolate years.

Mo Zhai, a pioneer in the planning economy, once said that the country's wealth is concentrated to build water conservancy, increase military industry, build houses, cultivate land and plant mahjong, and do not spend money on luxury goods such as pearls and jade. The population should also increase in a planned manner, and engage in less wars and taxes to ensure that men and women can meet and have children and raise children, so that each family can have three, and the total population and social wealth will surge in 20 years is much more cost-effective than fighting for 20 years.

Both of them were right, and they were both in line with their respective situations and seeking truth from facts.

When the income of the nobles comes from physical goods and labor rents, the nobles are not too powerful and have serious decentralization, and there are insufficient grassroots officials, the war is for hegemony, and the land is sufficient and there is no demand for land redistribution that swept across the country, and the policy of the officials and mountains and seas allows the Duke of Qi to have huge wealth, Guan Zhong's method of guiding the redistribution is absolutely beneficial.

In the era when wars are frequent, land system changes are showing light, aristocrats are degenerate and extravagant, royal power is not concentrated, and a large number of study-travelers can enter the government to ensure the number of officials. Mozi's centralization and forced development of the policy of saving money to increase the population is also correct.

The differences between these two schools are easy to separate by using the example of the plan to start a mine in Pengcheng, Peidi.

If the Mozi school wants to mine, it must first explain to people that this thing is "benefiting the world". It uses argumentative techniques to prove that this matter is to practice great righteousness, gather wealth and manpower, be united in one's heart, and insist on common righteousness. It takes Mo people who abide by discipline and asceticism as the pioneer, lead the people to mine, and then sell or distribute iron tools to people, thereby expanding production.

If the Guanzi School starts a mine, it is believed that using slaves is easy to escape, and at this time, it is impossible to catch them in the mountains and forests. If using the people to start a mine, the people will be dissatisfied and the whole people will easily cause trouble. The easiest way is to consign the mines to the rich businessmen, draw three-tenths of taxes, and let the rich businessmen be responsible for the rest of the matter. Whoever uses mines to start a mine is responsible for the management and arrests belong to the rich businessmen. The rich businessmen are responsible for the miners below, and the state is responsible for the wealthy businessmen and indirectly manages it. It only needs to hand over the money. When necessary, heavy taxes are imposed on the rich businessmen, and at the same time encourage the rich businessmen to consume, thereby adjusting the distribution of wealth.

These two ideas and means that seem to not exist in this era actually exist in this era, and are recorded in a plain manner on the wooden slip. Taishi Gong once read and praised it, but since the Jin Dynasty, some people have thought that these are useless and ridiculous things.

Fortunately, Mozi was still there at this time, and the Mo still existed, so he was able to borrow the Mo's intention to do something about Pei Peng.

The method of selling milling wheat flour is not like mining. Therefore, you can learn Guan Zhong's method of absorbing wealth without causing Mo Zi's disgust.

When Sumai is promoted and productivity increases and can feed more non-agricultural populations, more urban handicraft classes will become important forces for the Meghan in the city. The sudden drop in grain prices brought about by agricultural development will also prompt the non-land-given population to become handicraftsmen and ultimately balance them.

Simple wheat flour can feed dozens of handicraftsmen who make a living in every big city like Shangqiu, and can also greatly promote the development of commodity exchange in these cities and promote the circulation of currency.

Of course, it can also gather wealth from various countries to gather in Peidi and accumulate capital, so as to "benefit the world".

I am not too clever in my hand. I can still do things like rolling jujube flowers with chopsticks, kneading steamed buns, rolling noodles, and making dumplings.

In a suitable way, wheat flour is a gun, and these exquisite ways to eat bullets are bullets. Bullets cannot be without guns, and guns cannot be sold without bullets.

Tell these merchants how to make "bullets" so that their "guns" can be sold better.

Anyway, I have decided to make a profit from fishing, so that's not bad. I've made the pasta I can make now.

I thought to myself that I could be considered to be in line with the trend of the times. Otherwise, Shanxi, which does not eat sour noodles, Shandong, Henan, which does not eat steamed buns, Shaanxi, Hanzhong, which does not eat pot-kui, and north of the Huai River, which does not eat dumplings... This does not seem comfortable, and lacks a trace of familiar taste.

These things that have gathered the essence of food culture for two thousand years are enough to shock these businessmen and speed up the feeling of making us familiar.

The ink masters have eaten a lot of fermented noodles mixed with wood ash. At this time, everyone who came to help was full, and they were all full when they walked out with their stomachs. The food was not so delicate, but the taste was still the same.

Many merchants from Shangqiu gathered here, and they ate with relish and praised Lianlian.

They really never thought that wheat would eat so much, nor did they think that wheat would make food so beautiful.

After the wheat flour is fermented, the wheat aroma is retained, and some of the starch is decomposed by the fungus into sugar, making it more sweet.

The fried food commonly used by Zhongming Dingshi Home also appeared for the first time in wheat. No one would be stupid enough to fry wheat, but the wheat vermicelli tasted really good after being fried, especially with soy milk.

The most real taste is these staple foods that you never get tired of eating. It can be regarded as achieving your first ambition to come to this world. After eating steamed buns, your nostrils became slightly sour.

The merchants did not have as much emotion as he did. What they thought after the meal was that this thing could be sold well.

After almost finished eating, Shi Jiatong came forward and sent a piece of bamboo slip that had been peeled but not dried but was just used for one use.

He didn't say much nonsense. He had discussed with him before, and the matter of Peidi had been settled, and it was time to give fishing profits.

"You have also tasted this thing and seen it. The Song Dynasty, I and Mo are self-operated. Outside the Song Dynasty, Qi, Lu, Yan, Jin and Qin, divided the cities into cities, and there is only one person in each city. You write down the city you want to operate and the price you can buy, and the higher the price will be obtained."

"I don't sell wheat flour, but I only sell it to you to make wheat flour and these foods. It takes five years. Within five years, my ink will no longer sell it to others, and I will only help you build a mill for grinding. After five years, I will get the benefits I deserve, and I will talk about it later."

"The ink keeps your trust, you don't have to worry about this. Please, everyone."

After saying that, he asked Liu Finger who was standing beside him to hold ink and dip marks and deliver them to the merchants, asking them to write down the price on the bamboo slips.

The businessmen may not have a high level of cultural level, and they can still write numbers and names of major cities.

Although it was the first time I heard that such methods were all businessmen, I could understand what it meant after thinking about it.

It’s nothing more than the one who has the highest price, taking risks, calculating profits, and giving prices that you can accept while being better than other merchants.

Several merchants from Luoyang looked at each other, but there was no chance to communicate at this time. The partners who might have cooperated with him became potential enemies at this time.

Luoyang is a synonym. At this time, there was no name for Luoyang. The official names for bronze inscriptions and sacrifices were China, Xinyiluo, Tuzhong, etc.

After the Prince's Rebellion, there were both royal cities and Chengzhou. The Zhou emperor's territory was too small at this time. These places can be regarded as Luoyang urban agglomeration. Luoyang can be understood as the river valley plain north of Luoshui, or as the urban agglomeration in the Luoshui area.

There was both a large town and a residence of the emperor. There were almost no wars except for the struggle for power and civil strife, and there were many wealthy businessmen. When Rongdi was strong, Luoyang might still be threatened; but now it is surrounded by a great power, and all countries have launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Rongdi barbarians, and there is no more barbarians.

Even if the emperor has no authority, no country will attack Luoyang. Therefore, this is one of the safest places in the world and one of the richest places in the world.

These merchants from Luoyang certainly understood the business opportunities, and there were even greater opportunities seen by those who were good at speculation: the Three Jins were about to attack Qi, and if they defeated Qi, they would go to the emperor. At that time, the kings, nobles, envoys from all countries would gather together. If there was such food, the gain would be rich.

Several merchants thought that this was a God-given opportunity. If these mourners went to Luoyang to seek sales, and the merchants there were more money, how could it be their turn?

The Mo people keep their trustworthiness, and everyone in the world knows it. The merchants know that since the Mo people say that they can teach them the means of grinding wheat flour, they will definitely teach; since the Mo people say that they will not teach the rest of the people in the same city within five years, they will definitely not teach it.

After calculating the profits slightly, the merchants' hearts were beating.

The wheat is cheap because it is unpalatable.

But wheat is an important military ration, so the amount of wheat harvest is quite large every year.

Once ground, the price is not comparable to that of low-priced wheat. If you make such food, merchants who come and go to Luoyang and other places will definitely choose to eat and board there, and the nobles will also buy it.

Besides, this one is the only one, and there is no other place. It will definitely accumulate a lot of wealth in five years and can also establish a good relationship with these people. In the future, those strange grains, vegetables and vegetables will be easy to buy. Once the princes pay homage, they can make a lot of money in a short period of time. This matter cannot be delayed and must be prepared early.

They didn't know why the Mohist didn't make profits by themselves, but because of their misunderstandings about the Mohist, they each found reasons that they could believe themselves.

A merchant quietly glanced at those people who were traveling with him and felt scheming in his heart.

This time he carried not much gold, so it was extremely difficult to stand out among the group of merchants. He wrote a number on the bamboo slip that he could not take out, and took it down first, and he could discuss it with these fellow travelers in the future, and each paid the principal and benefited.

Some merchants also decided not to buy one city, but to buy a few more places, and then let the relatives and family members manage it after they go back. It is better than these mourners who go to those big cities to sell themselves, but they don’t get much.

Furthermore, the ink is the art of woodworking and stonemason, which is the best in the world. Even if you want to imitate it, it will not be possible to complete it in one or two days. It would be fine if you don’t take advantage of such loopholes.

Businessmen from all over the world have their own ideas, write numbers, beware of each other, or want to work together.

However, in the eyes of the ink-like people, it is difficult to communicate. You can only guess the mentality of others according to your own mentality, or be prepared or trusted, and it is not the same.

The Shi Jiatong glanced at the number of people who were still thinking about the number of writing, and was extremely satisfied. He couldn't stand the words at this time, so he didn't read them and took care of them. This was not his business.

Shi Jiatong thought to himself: "I can't afford to spend money, two taels of gold don't blink at all... He can make a profit, so he dares to spend money."

…………

While the merchants were still there, the mum-in-law and her wife discussed their future dreams in the house.

The wife said, "This tofu noodles is definitely easy to sell. Look at the patterns. Now Shi has followed Mozi and has gone out to the Sicheng Royal Family. Shouldn't he take this opportunity to help us provide us with the needs of Sicheng and the Lord? In this way, it won't take long, or it may be possible to wear silk. That day, I heard from him that I just take a joke."

The mummy who seemed dull and taciturn, shook her head immediately and said the most common words in these days.

"My younger brother wants to do big things. It can benefit from supplying Sicheng and Jun Shang, but there are also dangers. If someone wants to be unfavorable to his younger brother, he can do something in the diet we provide. What should I do if my younger brother is asked to do then?"

"We only supply people in the surrounding city, not nobles. The city people have a low life, and the matter is small, and no one is interested in it. Let others provide food for those noble people. We should not do this. Although the rabbit skin is small, if you are skillful, you can sew a large piece of skin; if you are cut, you will worry about it, and your hands will be unstable and will easily be damaged."

"I heard that mice that go out to find food will always block the cave and hide their children; the female beast that is chased by hunters will not run towards its nest. We should not be young mice that dig our own caves, nor are we little beasts that are discovered by hunters."

The wife listened with a smile, nodding and not refuting. It has always been like this. Whenever there is a big deal, she always listens to this seemingly dull person.
