Chapter 113 [The first big force in the world](1/2)

When it comes to spending money, the money lover feels most distressed. The two little maids looked listless, and Linglong sighed even more with a frown.

I am worthy of being the master and servant who lived together since childhood. I even have a similar temperament. I am happy when I hear about making money, but I feel sad when I hear about spending money.

Full of money-loving.

"Before leaving Chang'an, I purchased goods in a wide variety, with a total of 10 items. Due to the different prices, I recorded them in detail."

"The first item is Shangluo walnut."

The little maid reported the title and then began to recite the details.

"This thing grows in the Qinling Mountains and is a specialty of Guanlong, so it is relatively cheap. You can buy 50 kilograms for a lifetime."

"But due to our large-scale procurement and the bargaining ability of manager Guo Qi, the purchase price was reduced to 60 kilograms."

"This kind of walnut is not a good thing in Guanlong, but it is a great snack to transport it to Shandong. It is said that it has brain-tonifying effects and is extremely suitable for the elderly and children... So according to the requirements of the eldest lady, we purchased a total of twenty cartons of walnuts."

"Because ox carts are good at loading and are not afraid of heavy transportation from long distances, each truck loads twenty sacks, and each sack loads one hundred kilograms. The weight of a truck is exactly two thousand kilograms, and a total of twenty walnuts, with a total weight of 40,000 kilograms..."

"The cost is 650 guan, which should have been 666 guan, but Uncle Guo Qi is very good at harshing people. He harshed the merchant for two days and let others erase the fraction of 16 guan."

When the little maid read this, she couldn't help but nodded in a big way, pretending to be a little adult and said, "Uncle Guo Qi is really good. She can erase 16 slits of the 16 stanza at one time."

Guo Ziyi frowned slightly and said, "16 guan is still called a fraction of the money? 16 guan is enough for ten farmers to live in a year. If it is converted into walnuts, it weighs more than 960 kilograms. Especially this thing grows in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and the people work extremely hard when picking them. How much hardship do they have to endure if they have more than 900 kilograms of walnuts?"

He sighed and said, "If I were to buy it, I wouldn't save this 16 guan."

But Linglong sneered and said, "Do you think you are soft-hearted? We are all heartless? To tell you the truth, you have to save this money. Because we are not looking for farmers when purchasing..."

Not a farmer?

Guo Ziyi was slightly stunned.

The maid Doudou nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, we are not looking for farmers, but merchants who specialize in selling walnuts. Only merchants can take out tens of thousands of kilograms of goods at once."

Another little maid, Lingdang, laughed and said, "My son-in-law must have thought we had squeezed the farmers, otherwise he would not have shook us for 16 guan."

At this time, Yang Yuhuan also spoke slowly, smiling and mocked Cen Cen, "If you want to become a Buddha and a ancestor, you must first understand people's livelihood. However, some people only care about being kind, but don't ask about the specifics of the matter at all. They are also stupid and can't turn around. They have a total of 40,000 kilograms of walnuts. If you ask farmers to purchase, they will be delayed until the end of the day..."

Guo Ziyi was a little embarrassed, but she was not stubborn. Instead, Zheng said with a key point: "I was impulsive about this matter. I should have thought that you would not be able to go to farmers to purchase it. If you involve bulk materials, you must find merchants."

The two little maids smiled like flowers and said, "So Uncle Guo Qi did the right thing. He suppressed the price of merchants. Even if we erased the fraction of 16 guan, we did not harm the farmers."

However, Guo Ziyi let out a breath and murmured: "But I suddenly realized that the farmer was still exploited. Since the merchant was willing to erase the fraction of 16 guan, it was obvious that the price was extremely low when he acquired retail investors."

He sighed and said in a low mood: "Just like when I was a child, I followed my mother to pick wild mushrooms in the forest, working hard for a day, and gritted my teeth to fight out the weight of dozens or hundreds of pounds. However, after carrying it to the village, the people who came to receive the goods were suppressed. My mother and I worked hard for a day, and people were picking and choosing only to give a little money..."

When the two little maids heard his tone, their faces suddenly felt sympathy, and even Princess Linglong couldn't help but sigh.

Only Yang Yuhuan sneered and said, "This has been the case throughout history. Those who work hard to control others, while those who work hard to control others. Do you think your life was hard when you were a child, and my hometown was even harder than you when you were a child. But have you ever told me once? A man should not talk to you."

As he said that, he looked at Guo Ziyi, and his tone became gentle this time, and he said, "Husband, I know you sympathize with those farmers, but have you ever thought that the world has always been like this. As long as humans have not perished, exploitation will always exist..."

"The only thing we can do is to try our best not to exploit poverty, and keep ourselves stronger, and then set rules for those who exploit others, so that they can act within the rules and not dare to suppress the common people too miserably..."

"If we can do this, it will be a great merit from ancient times to the present, right?"

I have to say that Yang Yuhuan's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper.

Guo Ziyi sighed again and said, "Okay, I understand all you said. From now on, I will no longer be kind and strive to be a person with a heart of steel."

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuhuan laughed and said, "You? It's impossible! Don't look at you being fierce and ruthless when fighting, but you are born with a soft heart."

"You were so poor at the beginning, and you had to take me away by swiping your credit card. If you were a man with a heartfelt heart, who would care whether a girl would fall into depravity...

"So, husband, you are a good person. As long as you see a poor person, your heart will still be weak."

Guo Ziyi was a little embarrassed and said a little embarrassed: "Actually, I am not as good as you said. Actually, I was also greedy for your appearance at the beginning."

Yang Yuhuan laughed again and said, "Men are all the same. Although I was confused at the beginning, I was not confused. From the eyes you looked at me, I knew what you wanted to do. After all, it was 5,000 yuan. A security guard was willing to spend it. If it was simply because of his kind heart, then you are the Bodhisattva of Heavenly Life..."

"So I knew at that time that you were also staring at my body. After Fruit came to follow you, I found that you were really a fun flower."

"For example, under the bridge cave, the woods by the river, the grass piles, and the ancient tombs, tell me, you haven't tried any place."

"I'm so unsure of where the baby in my belly was pregnant. There's no way, my father is so good at playing."

Guo Ziyi's face turned red and she laughed dryly.

Linglong and the two maids next to him were stunned.

Good guy. Is that so excited?

It is understandable under the bridge cave, and the woods by the river are also common. After all, there are records in the book, and wild combinations are the common sense in ancient times...

But what about the ancient tomb?

Can that place be fun?

...

Guo Ziyi was even more embarrassed, her old face turned red like a piece of pork liver, and she hurriedly said, "Isn't it a accounting account? Why did you suddenly get involved? Hurry up and continue."

The two little maids were laughing and kept making faces.

Linglong picked up the pen and wrote down the expenses of Shangluo walnuts. Then he brows slightly and said in a slight confusion: "I have always been unable to understand why you asked us to purchase walnuts, sister? Although this thing is more expensive to ship to Shandong, it is just a kind of snack-like fruit after all."

"You may not know the situation in Shandong. The people are so poor that they can't even have enough food. Even if we transport walnuts, how many households are willing to buy this food?"

"Forty thousand kilograms, twenty cars. Although it doesn't cost much, transportation from thousands of miles away must be included in the cost. If calculated like this, the cost is actually not low."

"I'm very worried that this will lose."

As a financial fan and once led a caravan, Linglong's doubts are very reasonable and the things she is worried about are in line with reality.

Shandong is so poor, so how can the people have free money to buy snacks? A total of 40,000 kilograms of walnuts may really lose all.

However, Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, this item will not be lost. I asked you to purchase walnuts, but I didn't plan to sell them in Shandong at all. Instead, I asked the people to peel them and then process them into candied nuts. Then we will send out a caravan to transport the thing back to Chang'an..."

Linglong was stunned when she heard it.

The two maids couldn't keep up with their ideas.

On the contrary, Guo Ziyi thought about it and nodded slowly and said, "I understand, you are selling in the reverse direction, my wife. But there is one thing I want to remind you that the price of sugar is very expensive."

Yang Yuhuan slowly stretched out his hand, pointed to his forehead, and said, "Since I took the magic medicine, my brain power has become stronger day by day. Everything I learned when I was studying can be recalled without any fault... It's just sugar, I have extremely cheap sugar making techniques."

Guo Ziyi's eyes lit up, Linglong's eyes shone brightly, and she said excitedly: "Critical sugar making technique? How cheap can it be?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "After returning to Langya, we will ask farmers to grow a beet. This will not only allow farmers to have more cash crops, but also develop a profitable industry. As for the cost of boiling beet sugar, it is so low that you can't imagine."

As he said, Youyou said, "But after the sugar is cooked, we will definitely not reduce the price of the sugar. Instead, we will continue to maintain its luxury status and keep it at a price that ordinary people cannot afford."

"Because no matter how low the sugar price is, the people of this era are still reluctant to eat it. Since they are reluctant to give it up, then it is meaningless to reduce the price. Instead, it is better to process it into high-end food and sell it to wealthy families with wealthy people."

“Make their money and then use the money to develop our foundation.”

Awesome!

Linglong gave her a thumbs up.

Guo Ziyi couldn't help but nod and praised, saying, "So this Shangluo walnut will definitely not lose money, because it can be sold for a lot of money after making candied fruits. I also thought that making candied fruits can benefit the people. After all, we have to hire people to work, and when hiring people to work, we have to pay for labor. Poor families are not afraid of working, but what they fear most is that they have no work to do..."

He slowly let out a sigh and said with a longing: "Forty thousand kilograms of walnuts, but this is only the first batch of our candied fruit business. It will definitely continue to be continuously purchased from Chang'an in the future. In this way, the people on both sides will benefit. However, the people of Guanlong have a little harder and need to pick walnuts all over the mountains. The people of Shandong are also working hard, and they have to peel the shells and work to make candied fruits."

"But no matter what, there is definitely money to make. If the people can make money, their lives will gradually become rich."

"The economy of the region we are in will become more and more developed."

These words are mixed with some modern words, but Linglong and the two maids are used to it. The master and servant all have bright eyes and say excitedly: "The land of the country is rich, and the tax revenue is stable. Especially now you are a general in charge of the five prefectures and are qualified to withdraw your own military taxes from the governments of various places. We don't need to talk to those officials in this regard, because my father is the governor who is in charge of the four prefectures at the same time."

"There are eighteen prefectures in four prefectures. You only have five prefectures in total. As long as my father cooperates a little, your military tax will be easily collected."

Linglong said this, her pretty face was filled with joy and said, "In this way, it will be easier to raise soldiers. Although the five thousand elite soldiers are extremely expensive, the military taxes of the five palaces can definitely support it."

Guo Ziyi nodded and said, "But there is a prerequisite for this matter. The lives of the people under the rule have improved, otherwise they will not even have enough food to eat. But I will impose military taxes on them. If that happens, many people will be killed."

Linglong hurriedly looked at Yang Yuhuan and said, "It depends on my sister's ability."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "It's just about developing people's livelihood, it's not too difficult. If you continue to read the accounts, you will find that I'm already planning the article."

Linglong quickly looked at the two little maids and urged: "Read it, continue reading."

Doudou was even more anxious than her. He spread out a large stack of notes and started looking for it. He quickly found the second item of supplies and quickly picked it up and started chanting:

"The second item of goods, raw silk, Guanlong Shiquan County, is known as the ancient land of raw silk in the world. It can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. Farmers have raised silkworms..."

"Raw silk is very expensive, and the silk made of silk is even more expensive. According to the requirements of the eldest lady, we purchased a total of 600 boxes of raw silk and loaded with ten taels of ox carts, which cost 48,000 stalks."

When Dou Dou thought of this, he subconsciously spread his tongue and said, "This item alone costs nearly 50,000 guan. The two hundred black armored iron cavalry raised by my son-in-law can sweep at least three to five thousand elite soldiers, and only 50,000 guan. The cost of this raw silk is comparable to that of two hundred iron cavalry."

This time, Yang Yuhuan didn't need to speak, Linglong explained with a smile, saying: "Although raw silk is very expensive, it is even more expensive to make silk. After we transport this batch of raw silk to Langya, we can hire women with exquisite handmade work. When the raw silk becomes silk, we can earn at least 50,000 jin of profits."

She thought she guessed Yang Yuhuan's intention, so she smiled slightly and said, "Sister Yang, are you right in my guess?"

But Yang Yuhuan smiled faintly and said, "Only half right."

Linglong was stunned.

Guo Ziyi laughed and said, "I can guess this, your appetite must be more than 50,000 pounds. The reason why you asked them to purchase raw silk is actually to use these raw silk to train weavers. After the weaver is trained in large quantities by you, you will definitely develop the silkworm breeding business on our territory, right?"

Yang Yuhuan looked at him softly and praised: "I am worthy of being a man working under the bridge cave. I can guess what I think at once."

Guo Ziyi groaned, and his old face instantly turned into a pig's liver color.
