Chapter 127 The Victory Conference
After dinner, Su You took out the black bean fish and served it cold, and then made soy sauce for Shi Wei.
It’s okay if there’s a lack of umami, just soak the dried mushrooms and boil them to make up for it.
The children came back very late, and they were all exhausted, but everyone's faces were full of smiles. When Li Shuanzhu saw Su You, he said happily: "Master, guess how much we earned?"
Su You joked: "How much?"
Li Shuanzhu picked his forehead: "Uh, I don't know, I'm much older anyway..."
You haven’t even counted yet and you still ask me? This is making you dizzy!
Su You laughed so hard: "Let's all carry them to the house. There are soldiers guarding us today. It's very safe."
Atunmi was willful and refused to stay in the post house. Mr. Fan tried to persuade her twice, but there was nothing he could do to her, so he had to send two teams of local soldiers to protect her. The leader was Atun Chihuo.
When he got up the next day, Kelongli's ship arrived, and Shi Shou wanted to escort Shi Wei to Chengdu.
Tutu Temple also prepared a lot of things for Shi Wei, including black bean paste, soy sauce, watercress, pickled mustard, kohlrabi, radish strips, rice krispie treats, glutinous rice flour...
The black bean fish was so cool that it became solid. Su You took two jars, placed the upper layer of black bean fish on the bottom, and the lower layer on top. Then poured the oil in the basin into it, one jar for Atunmi and one jar for Shi Wei.
Then he explained one by one: "To eat on the road, you can eat tempeh and radish strips in Chengdu slowly. You can start eating mustard in March, kohlrabi in May, and sprouts in winter..."
The tone was full of reluctance and was purely trivial. On the contrary, Shi Wei had a determined temper and decided to do whatever she had in mind and handed the letter to Su You: "Brother Xiaoyou, you are really like a little old man! Remember to send the letter for me.
I am leaving!"
After saying that, he waved his little hand, hugged the jar of black bean fish, and got on the boat without looking back.
Shi Shou also brought a lot of things, as well as what Hachigong prepared for Shi Wei. The boat was packed to the brim. Fortunately, Xue Zhong's boat was still half empty, so he put down all kinds of bottles and cans.
Everyone went to the waterside to see each other off. Su You watched the two ships unmooring and left, almost in tears: "You didn't say a single unnecessary word to me. You walked away really coolly..."
A'tunmi looked at the shadow of the boat going away: "I like this temperament. It's not like the crying women of the Song Dynasty, but it has the demeanor of the daughter of my clan. She is worthy of being the queen of the generals! Oh, Xiaoyou, I'm afraid those concubines of yours will be like this in the future.
Life will not be too good..."
Su You turned around and left. A woman from a foreign country cannot be understood! Did I say I wanted a concubine?!
…
The first Meishan Commodities and Materials Exchange Conference was a successful, victorious, and inspiring conference.
The Meizhou Tax Supervisor participated in the drafting of 43 supervision statistics contracts and the signing of 76 supervision cooperation letters of intent, with a total amount of 360,000 yuan.
Under the care of the two levels of government led by Meishan’s magistrate, tongpan, and county magistrate, merchants from all walks of life said that Meishan’s excellent handicraft industry foundation, reasonable planning and layout, rich and high-quality commodity resources, and tax policies that encourage industry and commerce have allowed them to
I am deeply encouraged and deeply feel the enlightenment and care from the two levels of government. I hope that such conferences can continue in the future.
The Jiangqing family who attended the meeting also promised that they will rationally allocate production resources, expand production scale, strictly control product quality, and do a good job in risk control. They will contribute their due share to Meishan City's GDP this year.
.
Zhizhou highly affirmed the attitude of the Jiangqing family and pointed out that the construction of spiritual civilization, like the construction of material civilization, were the two cornerstones of the harmony and stability of the Song Dynasty. Meishan not only had to grasp it with both hands, but also had to be strong with both hands.
Mr. Cheng Wenying, a well-known local entrepreneur, immediately said that Zhizhou’s teachings have a grand overall view and historical foresight, which is worthy of everyone’s deep thinking. It also points out the problems that may occur on the way forward and avoids the possibility of making directional mistakes.
.
Therefore, he decided to turn Zhizhou's valuable guiding opinions into a feasible plan and invest in the construction of a Hope Primary School in Tutu Temple in advance, striving to find a reasonable teaching model and further promote education to all townships across the state.
Lay a good foundation.
Mr. Shi Dongxiu, who is also a well-known local entrepreneur, pointed out that the state school's classrooms are dilapidated, the books are poor, the teachers are insufficient, the teachers' income is not high, and there are also practical problems such as salary arrears, etc., and he proposed the donation.
The Jiangqing family expressed their agreement one after another and actively donated money to the state school.
The above is a report from Meishan Prefecture Wharf Tudimiao Suyou.
The actual situation is actually slightly different.
It is certain that the new products are popular. Chengjia Bookstore, "Du Gongbu Ji" and "Historical Notes on Three Schools" are two of the most popular items. The remaining colorful statues of gods and colorful pictures of Buddhas teaching scriptures are also popular.
Shijia Porcelain Factory became famous in one fell swoop. Zhizhou’s words made it very clear that Shijia Porcelain Factory might become the entrance to the royal kiln. If that were the case, the first batch of porcelain produced might be the last porcelain on the market.
Granted, there may be a price but no market in the future!
As for the Shi family, they signed a complex and cumbersome purchase and sale contract with the Erlin Department and the tax supervisor, which involved a lot of knowledge of the trade laws of the Song Dynasty. Basically, the government purchased the bronzes first, and then the Shijia Guan purchased them, and finally obtained them.
After completing the customs declaration and import, it became a legal Song Dynasty commodity and entered the market.
Of course, that's what it sounds like on paper, but in practice, the tax supervisor doesn't pay a penny and only collects the due fees based on the number of pounds of copperware, and the rest is divided between the Erlin Department and the Shi family.
The Su family's approach is somewhat different. The inventory is definitely not enough to supply the market, and the foundation is weak, but there is an urgent demand. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng boldly uses private bonds, which is the futures bill of lading model. She first receives a large deposit and then purchases raw materials for use.
Production.
The private certificates are watermarked with Cheng's new printing technology to prevent counterfeiting, so the possibility of counterfeiting can be basically eliminated.
As for Su You's Yongchun Dew, he only managed process improvements such as koji blending, and the Cheng family was responsible for production and sales, using an agency system. However, because the profit was too high, the income was quite scary.
The 360,000 guan can be roughly divided into four parts. He has 30% in two parts and 70% in one part. In total, one person accounts for a huge amount of 120,000 guan!
Meishan Yamen was really lenient in collecting money. The merchants were not fools, and of course they could not come empty-handed. They brought all kinds of goods with the ship.
Of these goods, 30% were used for mutual exchange between merchants, 50% were absorbed by Meishan locals, and the remaining 20% were eaten by the big tiger of the Erlin Department.
As a result, the problem of money shortage in the Song Dynasty came to the fore in Meishan.
In the end, Suyou found Cheng Wenying, who proposed to the state government that the Jiangqing family was willing to donate their snow salt technology to improve the quality of salt in Lingjing. In exchange, the state government used the salt production in Lingjing last year as the base.
Using this year's Lingjing official salt as a deposit, Meishan's own first transitional credit currency, Xianjing Salt Banknotes, will be issued!
In this way, the first wave of currency crisis was finally overcome, and the merchants completed the commodity exchange with satisfaction. When the dust settled, everyone discovered that as the end point of the exchange, the Xianjing salt banknotes basically fell into the hands of the Jiangqing family.
.
This is not over yet, the short-term loan for the Erlin Department to purchase the goods was also provided by the Jiangqing family.
Su Cheng Shishi, the heads of the four families look at me and I look at you. How did you pull off this trick?
Cheng Wenying stroked his beard: "If you don't care about the salt well now, it won't work. All four families have become grasshoppers on a rope! It's all their own profits..."
Shi Dongxiu also had lingering fears: "Tomorrow everyone will go to Lingjing together. I will discuss the salt banknotes with Lao Shi and the well supervisor. Mingrun and Lao Shi will seize the time to find the well! In this big market, the background of the four companies was exposed at once.
It’s still thin! If Lao Cheng hadn’t gone all the way to the prefecture, the income of each family would have been reduced by at least half. The Meishan Silkworm Market will definitely be delayed for a long time, and good things will turn into bad things!”
Chapter completed!
