Chapter 45: Establishing a business group

The emergence of "Shenxian Drunkenness" is too instant, and can solve many problems faced by the Pegasus Ranch, making Huangfu Jian feel much more at ease, and his plan will also change accordingly. The next afternoon, the city lord's government office - the Iron Tiewa Silver Heart Hall, Huangfu Jian summoned everyone to discuss political affairs.

After a night of rest, everyone who was drunk last night was drunk and they were all drunk. They were full of energy and knelt on their knees.

"Everyone is awake! We started to discuss the main business. Yesterday, I and Grandpa Zhao inspected the drought in the control area of ​​Pegasus Ranch, and the results were pretty good. Because the Pegasus Ranch is located in a special location, abundant water sources, and the disaster is not serious, and the yield per mu has not decreased, which made me feel much more relieved."

"But do you know that just outside the Pegasus Ranch, Guanzhong, Guanxi is a land of thousands of miles acres, with a yield of less than 30% last year, and the harvest is not enough to pay various taxes. How can these people live?"

"The hungry people are everywhere outside, and the corpses are everywhere! These are living lives, and they die like this. I can't bear it! I always feel that I should do something for them. Although the Pegasus Ranch has a certain amount of food, the quantity is limited, and we cannot let our people starve to death to save others! This young master is very embarrassed! What are the two-way plans for both?" Huangfu Jian was born in poverty in his previous life and knew the sufferings of the people, so he had deep sympathy for the poor living at the lowest level. He spoke with emotion and moved the listeners.

Many of the people in the hall were born poor. They were infected by Huangfu Jian's words and looked at each other in contemplation. The number of hungry people outside was too large, so huge that they were intimidated by the Pegasus Ranch.

"The young master's subordinates calculated that there was still 500,000 s of surplus grain in the pasture, which could maintain the annual consumption of 60,000 people. There are currently 25,000 people directly under the Gucheng City. In this way, we can take in at most 35,000 people." Old man Zhao Qi broke the tranquility in the hall. He knew that the young master really wanted to save these hungry people, but he still had to calculate the matter so that Huangfu Jian knew it.

"Well, I have already calculated these young masters." Huangfu Jian said without comment.

"I know that the young master is kind-hearted, but we can only do what we can. Therefore, I suggest that we provide rescue options. All kinds of craftsmen and scholars are the most in short supply in the pastures, so we must first take these people in. Children over ten years old can supplement the labor and military resources of the pasture, and we will place the second take in. Young women can solve the marriage problems of many bachelors in the pasture, which is related to the stability of the pasture and is also the object of our take in."

"Doing this will not exceed the ability of our ranch, but will also bring scarce talents, labor and military resources to the ranch, which is more beneficial to the development of the ranch. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone." Military advisor Jia Xu spoke slowly, and his plan can always hit the nail on the head. Since he cannot do the best, it will be the most beneficial to himself.

Everyone in the hall discussed for a while and agreed in unison.

"Since that's the case, the military advisor and Grandpa Zhao are responsible for this matter! Arrange more shelter sites and open more porridge shops. For those who cannot be taken in, they cannot starve to death in front of us." Huangfu Jian nodded helplessly and sat in the Grand Master's chair. His heart was extremely heavy. He could not accept this kind of treating human life like a mustard, but he was powerless, which made him feel a sense of frustration.

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Jia Xu and Zhao Qi seemed to see that Huangfu Jian was in a bad mood, and hurriedly accepted the order respectfully.

"Our ranch is still lacking in financial resources! We can reach the gods. With money, we can buy more food to save better hungry people!" Huangfu Jian sighed and said, "The most urgent task is to expand the production scale of "Shenxianzui". "Shenxianzui" will be a fist product to burst out a sky for our ranch. In addition to the two wineries that are still being produced in the valley, the rest of the wineries are all renovated to produce "Shenxianzui". "Huangfu Jian's tone continues to increase, and a sense of unyielding fighting spirit soars into the sky, and the decadence on his body is also empty. If he can't even save the hungry people in front of him, how can he dominate the world!

"I have something to say!" Li Wenhou, who was in charge of logistics, stood up.

"Please speak!" Huangfu Jian looked at Li Wenhou and said lightly.

"My subordinates believe that in addition to fully producing 'Shenxianzui' in the pasture, our ranch also needs to use the advantages of the ranch's geographical location to open up commercial roads and form commercial groups." Feiyunzhai used to be a horse gang, and Youdao was a horse gang that traveled all over the world. Li Wenhou was very familiar with commercial roads in various places and knew the huge profits brought by commercial groups.

"Okay! General Li's suggestion is very good! Please tell me in detail!" Huangfu Jian, who was sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, showed joy.

Huangfu Jian had never been involved in business in his previous life or in this life, so he knew nothing about business. If it weren't for Li Wenhou's suggestion, he would have never thought about the establishment of a business group. Although the merchants had a low status at that time, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants were the last. However, when the transportation was very inconvenient at that time, there were huge price differences between commodities in various places, and commercial profits were extremely considerable. Establishing a business group and opening up a business path was a safe way to make money.

"Young master, Pegasus Ranch not only has good horses and fine wine, but more importantly, its geographical location is very superior. With Pegasus Ranch as the center, the southeast along the 'Wuguan Road', passing Lantian, Qingni Overflow, Wuguan Enter Jingzhou. The southwest into Hanzhong, Ba and Shu. Follow the 'Oriental Road' to go through Hangu, go to the imperial capital Luoyang, enter the Central Plains, or cross the Yellow River to Bingzhou and enter northern China. The west is the famous Silk Road. You can enter the desert to trade with grassland ethnic groups." Li Wenhou is worthy of being a horse thief. He tells the trade routes of various places in a clear and well-organized manner.

"We can not only set up a group to sell fine wine and good horses from the ranch, but also use the ranch as a transit station to sell silk, salt, tea and other items from the south to the north, to the grasslands, and to various countries in the Western Regions. We can also sell war horses, cattle and sheep, fur, wool fabrics, spices, pearls and other products from the grasslands, Western Regions to various parts of the Central Plains, and buy at a low price and sell at a high price to earn high profits."

As soon as Li Wenhou finished speaking, Huangfu Jian couldn't help but feel excited, so he stood up and applauded. Even the people in the hall who were not interested in the merchants were all shining and were filled with joy. Everyone knew that Pegasus Ranch was short of money now, and there was a lot of money!

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, and it was the candidate. Li Kan and Liang Xing, who usually only knew how to fight, were all in high spirits and joined the discussion. In the end, everyone unanimously formed six major business groups through Pegasus Ranch: the Southeast Business Group, the Central Plains Business Group, the Northern Business Group, the Bashu Business Group, the Western Regions Business Group, the Mobei Business Group, and the establishment of the business group was the responsibility of the Administration Office.

The crowd was excited. At this moment, Ma Wan, who was responsible for the defense of the Jing River, stood up and said, "Report to the young master, I will suggest that our ranch form a navy. The Pegasus Ranch is on the bank of the Jing River. The Jing River enters the Wei River from the southeast, and the Wei River goes eastward into the Yellow River. The Yellow River crosses the entire Central Plains."

"I will finally think how powerful it would be if we had a navy scattered across the river! Once the war begins, whether it is transporting troops, grain, or waterways, they will have an absolute advantage. We can serve as soldiers in wartime and as transport ships in our spare time, and organize river transportation. We can not only earn extra money, but also save a lot of transportation costs for the ranch."

A horse plays a few words and a beautiful basket picture was presented to everyone. The result caused heated debate among the crowd. The theme of the debate was the inland river navigation, the situation in Shuiwen was complicated, the boat was difficult, and it was a bit unrealistic to form a naval army on Pegasus Ranch.

Seeing that everyone could not reach a conclusion, Huangfu Jian interrupted everyone's argument and said, "The discussion on forming a naval army has ended here. I know what everyone is worried about. The Jinghe River and the water level can satisfy the passage of ships. However, the waterway is complicated and it is difficult for sailboats to turn flexibly when they are on it. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die."

"I know a dual-purpose sailboat that can not only hang sails, but also be equipped with oars on both sides of the hull. It can sail with sails and manually operate oars. It is not only faster than a single sailboat, but also has flexible steering and simple maneuvering, so it will definitely be able to adapt to inland navigation."

"General Ma Wan chose an appropriate location in the upper reaches of the Jinghe River, established a water camp, a dock, and recruited excellent ship craftsmen. According to the pictures provided by my master, I built a warship and formed a Pegasus Ranch Naval. But in order to cover up the eyes, the Pegasus Ranch Naval cannot be called a naval master now, just called the Dahe Gang! But remember, you should not delay the training. I want a naval master who can conquer battles, and don't you want a transport fleet. Do you understand?"

"The last one understands!" Ma Wan was extremely excited and hurried forward to receive the order.

Ma Wan's strong bow division is stationed along the Jing River. He looks at the endless river water every day, and he feels itchy. He has long been the idea of ​​forming a navy. He didn't expect that this wish will become a reality so soon. How could he not be excited!

The young master is awesome! Dare to act! Be decisive!
