Zhu Qing was drinking tea and it was very pleasant.

Although his grain shop continued to lower the price, he did not lose. Not only did he not lose, but he also made more money than before.

Because Dazai came forward, he not only reduced the transportation money to him by half, but also controlled the supply.

Not only that, he even told him that starting next year, the court will open the mining of iron ore to the public, and Zhu Qing can go to the Ministry of Commerce to ascend the throne to a mining source trading company, and the court will hand over the designated mines to him to mine.

Businessmen like Zhu Qing have long seen huge profits from mineral sources.

Today, when doing business in the Song Dynasty, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to go in these directions.

The first is construction.

Since the first year of Jingkang, the court proposed the strategy of the fourth deputy capital, it laid the foundation for the development direction of the Song Dynasty in the next twenty years: the population transfer to towns.

For example, Tokyo City has moved in from all walks of life in just five years.

In recent years, Tokyo City has been expanding everywhere, pavilions and towers have risen from the ground, and new roads and all parties have been connected.

All of these require people. The court is willing to pay monthly money, so naturally there are merchants who can seize this opportunity.

In terms of construction industry, many wealthy businessmen have been created in Tokyo, among which Wang Wenshen, the Wang family, is the most famous.

Even the headlines of the Song Dynasty newspaper published Wang Wenshen, who ranked first on the Tokyo Wealth List!

He is no longer worthy of being rich.

The second thing to make money is road construction, which is also the money from the court.

The Pan family, which relies on road construction, has now risen in Tokyo City.

Since his development, Pan Qishan began to recognize his ancestors. He said that he was a descendant of Pan Mei, a famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. For a time, he also met many upstarts in the officialdom.

The third thing is to sell food, which is what Zhu Qing does now.

As the population travels to the city in large numbers, the demand for concentrated supply of food is becoming increasingly urgent, and the requirements for transportation are becoming increasingly high.

This is Zhu Qing’s chance.

This is not the first time he has worked with Xu Churen and Tang Ke. One-third of the food in Tokyo comes from Zhu Qing's trading company.

Zhu Qing was drinking tea while thinking that the fourth person who made money was originally thought to be the textile business of Li's cloth store.

But now he doesn't think so anymore. The fourth one who makes money must be mining.

He could imagine that when his son went out to show off his wealth, he watched his companions chat and laugh and make his family rich. When it was his son's turn, his son could say directly: "My family has a mine!"

Zhu Qing summarized a rule that the most profitable ones were given by the court.

Under the new court policy, there are plenty of opportunities.

These opportunities cannot be seen by ordinary people, and even if they can see them, they cannot reach them.

He had long wanted to develop industries outside the grain industry, after all, no one would think that he had too much money.

I heard that as early as five years ago, the current Concubine Han’s father got the mine in Yanyun, and now the court is finally planning to officially open it.

Zhu Qing felt excited when he thought about it.

Zhu Qing's housekeeper ran over and said, "Officials, amazing! Great!"

"Why are you so panicked?"

"There is a store called Yongle Grain Store in Tokyo. The business is very good. Some people have been queuing up to buy it for several days."

Zhu Qing has been sitting at home these days thinking about the changes in the Song Dynasty today, and has never been out, so he naturally doesn't know about Yongle Grain Store.

Zhu Qing said: "This is impossible. Our current food price is the lowest in the entire Tokyo city!"

"Officials, the Yongle Grain Shop sells not rice or wheat, but something called sweet potato."

"Sweet potato?" Zhu Qing was slightly stunned, "What is that? Could it be a type of mouse!"

"I don't know very well. I heard it is a kind of food, which is delicious, one that can be eaten half full, and it costs 2 cents each!"

"What! Just 2 cents?"

You know, in Zhu Qing’s shop, the grain is sold for 2,500 yuan per stone, and one stone is 194 jin, and one jin of grain is only sold for 13 jin now.

An ordinary civilian earns at least 2 knots per month in a cement factory or construction site, and nearly 70 cents a day, so there is no pressure to buy Zhu Qing’s food to eat.

The housekeeper replied: "The selling price is half a pound and costs 4 cents."

Zhu Qing frowned and asked, "How much does a roasted sweet potato weigh?"

"There are nearly half a pound, usually only 4 taels (half pound in the Song Dynasty = 8 taels), only 2 cents!"

Zhu Qing’s grain costs nearly 7 cents for half a pound, while roasting sweet potatoes costs only 4 cents. This is a bit big!

Zhu Qing suddenly became alert. He stood up and felt a little uneasy: "How come a roasted sweet potato suddenly pops up!"

"The villain didn't know, but suddenly appeared!"

Zhu Qing's expression changed. It seemed that someone was going to grab the business!

He immediately took his men and ran to the east of the city.

I don’t know if I don’t go, but I was really shocked when I go.

I saw a long queue at the door of the Yongle Grain Shop, and the business was simply booming.

A bodyguard behind Zhu Qing couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"

Zhu Qingheng glanced at the bodyguard, and the other party was so scared that he stopped talking.

But even Zhu Qing himself admitted that it was indeed very delicious!

Zhu Qing started queuing for a long time. After finally reaching his turn, he was told that the roasted sweet potatoes were sold out, and there were only raw sweet potatoes.

Many people also sell raw sweet potatoes because it is too simple to make.

Zhu Qing also bought a few and went back to study them slowly.

The next day, Zhu Qing ran to find Xu Churen. He didn't sleep all night and felt that his food business seemed to collapse in an instant.

This sweet potato is really terrible. Even if Taizai waives all the transportation costs, he will not be able to sell it cheaper than sweet potatoes!

What's more, at this critical moment, farmers are always thinking about raising prices.

Zhu Qing's breathing became heavier.

Which dog-good killer made the sweet potato?

Isn’t this the life of the grain merchants in the Song Dynasty?

Zhu Qing could imagine that once sweet potatoes spread, the food prices in the Song Dynasty would fall by one-third based on Zhu Qing's existing food prices!

The reason why he dared to maintain the current low price was because Seo Chu-in was behind him.

Those foods that are not supported by too much will fall at least half of the time!

This is simply a life-threatening person!

Yesterday, Zhu Qing was still talking about the third person who made money in the Song Dynasty was grain merchants. Food is the most important thing for the people, which is an eternal principle.

But now it seems that the doomsday of grain merchants is coming!

"Damn it!" Zhu Qing couldn't help but curse in the carriage, "If I knew that the one who killed Qiandao made the sweet potato, I would have to peel him off!"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhu Qing changed from a business tycoon to a docile lamb.

He respectfully waited for Seo Churen's summons. After waiting for a long time, he was told that Dazai was busy with government affairs.
Chapter completed!
