Chapter 632 What is Capitalism
He dared to bully the prince, and he was simply ignorant of his life. His new King of Shang was furious and wanted to rush up immediately, grab the clerk, and vent his anger for the prince.
But before he rushed up, Ye Hua grabbed his neck.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first!"
Ye Hua and two little guys started shopping in the vegetable market.
First of all, this vegetable market is so huge that it is scary. There are at least 500 ox, horse and carriages from outside the city, and many people have been passing by for dozens of miles.
The hard work of the farmer is clear here at a glance.
Usually, you have to pick vegetables in the evening and wait until the carriage is loaded, and it is midnight. You have to set off and send them to the capital before dawn. You can queue up to hand over the vegetables, and then go back to rest and have a nap. You have to pick vegetables in the evening!
Especially when vegetables are ripe, this is even more the case every day unless it rains heavily, and it is rarely interrupted.
These people and livestock were covered with dew. When the cool morning breeze blew, they kept trembling and trembling, but even so, they did not dare to leave a step without permission... If they could not queue up and hand over the vegetables, they would be in vain for the day.
Usually, during a peak season, livestock will lose 20 to 30 kilograms, and people will lose 10 to 8 kilograms.
It's very hard, but everyone is happy.
When it’s good, you can make a net profit of 100 cigars in one trip!
The huge Kaifeng feeds countless people around him... Everything in the city, to the outsiders, is fresh and strange, and some big beards even exclaim that they have arrived in heaven.
Too many things are something they can't imagine... Vegetable farmers have exhausted all their energy to deliver vegetables and they have no energy to continue selling.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the vegetables are handed over to the market, there will be clerks who will pass the digits and then give the vegetable farmers a special wooden sign.
After getting the wooden sign, the vegetable farmers can go home happily. When the next time they come, the clerk has sold the vegetables to the distributor. After deducting 30% of the commission, the rest are all from the vegetable farmers.
Although 30% of the money was deducted, the vegetable farmers were still happy to enjoy the fruits.
Ye Hua took two little guys and looked at him with interest... Although it was a small vegetable market, he could understand the truth and at least he could become a county magistrate.
Ye Hua watched the delivery of vegetables and waited for a while before the vegetable vendors in the capital arrived slowly. After bargaining with the clerk, he transported the vegetables away and sent them to various small markets, even on the streets and alleys, to supply the needs of millions of people.
After looking at it in one circle, Ye Hua has a pretty good impression of the vegetable market. It is very difficult for such a large market to operate efficiently and orderly.
But the little prince was still angry. He was worried. Why did other people's dishes be so expensive? His carts of dishes are only worth ten cents?
"Fill your stomach first, and then go back and find the answer!"
When Ye Hua heard the little guy screaming in his stomach, he led them to find a breakfast stall on the street.
Three bowls of rice porridge, more than a dozen vegetables and buns, and a plate of side dishes. The three of them were satisfied with their meals. When they settled the accounts, they only asked for fifteen yuan. They were much cheaper than other places. Could it be that they were close to the vegetable market and everything was cheaper?
Ye Hua's eyes rolled, it was time to find the answer.
He directly found the little official. From the time he was busy working before dawn to now, the little official was squatting under a tree, eating buns in big mouthfuls, which was similar to Ye Hua and the others.
Ye Hua came over and smiled and said, "I went to eat buns too. They are quite cheap and taste good!"
The little official glanced at him and saw that Ye Hua was young and had two and a half-old children. He didn't remember the little prince, but Ye Hua and the other two were expensive in clothes, unlike ordinary people.
Maybe some rich young master came here to play!
The little official snorted, "Young Master, the buns here are eaten by the inferior ones, you should go to the big restaurant."
"I have eaten too much in the restaurant, and it's not fun to eat some street snacks occasionally... I just can't figure it out. I'm less than a penny, can I make a profit?"
Seeing that he was persistent, the little official simply broke a bun that had not eaten, revealing the filling inside.
"See, vegetables almost cost nothing, just a little dough, a little salt, and a penny is expensive!" After saying that, the clerk stuffed two buns into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like hamsters. He patted his butt and wanted to rest.
Ye Hua became more and more interested and grabbed him, "This friend, let's not hide it. We also want to do some business, let's talk." As he said that, Ye Hua invited him to a restaurant on the street. The storefront was not big, but it was quite clean inside. Ye Hua found a table and asked the clerk to sit down.
The little official smiled, "Do you want to bribe me?"
"If you don't know, just make friends!"
The little official shook his head, "No matter what you think, I advise you to say nothing, don't have any bad thoughts. We are not afraid to say that we have a clear conscience. We all worked with the Marquis and would not make money indiscriminately!"
This guy is really brave to say it!
If you don’t make money in a bad way, what’s going on with Guo Zongxun’s ten cents?
Ye Hua remained calm and ordered four dishes, ordered a pot of wine, and poured two glasses of Xiaoguan. He opened up the conversation... Speaking of which, this vegetable market has a relationship with Ye Hua, but he still remembers it a long time ago. In order to revitalize the shop in his hand, Ye Hua went to the countryside to purchase vegetables and grains and sell them to the capital.
That is the predecessor of the vegetable market.
It has been more than ten years since I counted it.
The little official came to work in the vegetable market five years ago. He claimed that he was the person he brought out by Ye Hua, and he was gigging on his face and bragging himself.
After so many years of development, the size of the vegetable market has become larger and larger, and the people around the capital have gradually given up on grain and switched to growing vegetables with higher profits.
Moreover, after they accumulate wealth, they mostly buy horse carriages and ox carts. There is no hurry to buy houses, but cars cannot be missing... With a car, they can transport vegetables to the capital, and there is no difference in the middle and they can get more profits.
However, in recent years, people have found that money does not seem to be so easy to make.
There are too many vegetables delivered to the vegetable market every day, and the prices of vegetables are getting lower and lower. It used to be a car that could make a net profit of 100 cents, but now there are only 70 to 80 cents left, and sometimes less than 50 cents, which really leads to losses...
So what's the problem?
The clerk told Ye Hua that they were auctioning according to the rules, and the first one was delivered, with the best quality vegetables, which could be sold at the first price, and then decreased in turn... In the end, if the quality was not good, or even the decay was in the condition, they had to be sold at a low price.
Vegetables are not like grain and cannot be preserved.
By the end, the food will be rotten, and as long as you give some money, you will move them all away.
You can buy a lot of money for a penny, and you can take a car with just ten cents.
Many small restaurants, bun shops, and snack stalls buy such vegetables. They can still use them after they are carefully cleaned.
Even some large restaurants do the same, and after the pot is put, there is no difference!
No wonder the buns around the vegetable market are so cheap, Ye Hua felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Looking at Brother Guo Xing and the little prince, they were also stunned.
It turned out that it was not the minor officials who bullied them, but they were sent too late, and they were not good at character, so they could only sell them for so much money!
Guo Zongxun was like a frost-beating eggplant, wilted!
It’s all my fault. If I could come here earlier, it might be much better. The little guy was speechless and felt aggrieved.
Of course Ye Hua would not be obsessed with the gains and losses of a truckload of vegetables. He asked, "According to your opinion, vegetable farmers will lose money every day, right?"
The little official nodded, "Who said no! I also want to help them, sometimes it looks pitiful. I only sold five cents, but I took out a few cents from my own pocket. I worked hard, and I couldn't even exchange a few buns for them, right?" The little official smiled bitterly, "After a while, the watermelon will come down, and then the watermelons are sent everywhere. I can't pay for it all the time!"
"Then the court doesn't care?" Brother Guo Xing asked suddenly?
The little official smiled, "This young master, the court can take care of food, how can it manage vegetables? Is it taken into the warehouse and then sold when needed?"
The little official said bluntly: "The cucumbers in the morning are full of flowers and thorns. Everyone loves them, like big girls. In the afternoon, they will be beaten to death. The milfs will become old women. What can the court do if they do?"
yes!
What should the court do?
Brother Guo Xing and Guo Zongxun subconsciously looked at Ye Hua. The gentleman has the most idea, and he must have a good idea!
