Chapter 130: The Victorious Assembly (4 More Than 10,000)
It was close in recent years.
If it was in Yanjing in previous years, Gao Pragmatic would have even put on the fox at this time, but now in Nanning, he is still wearing spring and autumn clothes, inner single and outer clothes, two pieces are just right.
According to his physical feelings, it is estimated that the temperature in Nanning at this time is about 15 degrees Celsius, which is almost the most suitable temperature for human beings.
Of course, the feeling of comfort is not only because of the temperature, but also because of the smooth completion of the Nanning Conference.
To put it simply, this is a meeting of unity, a meeting of victory, and a meeting of carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future. After the meeting, Gao pragmatic and profoundly realized that such a conference should be normalized, institutionalized and standardized, and strive to further make due contributions to the harmonious society of Ming imperialism.
Huh, cross-talking? But it doesn't matter, it's pretty much the same.
In general, Gao Pragmatic basically achieved what he wanted at this meeting, relying on his strong financial resources and brilliant entrepreneurial experience, he completely convinced the local buns in Guixi and Guinan, so that they were satisfied and sincerely afraid, and fell under the huge magic of gold and silver one after another.
At this meeting, Gao pragmatic put forward several industrial plans that he had planned long ago, and proposed a quota for the purchase of raw materials to the toasts at a relatively favorable price. Including but not limited to all kinds of wood, tung oil, crude sugar and other substances, including the addition of star anise, pine resin, and various medicinal materials with large output in western and southern Guangxi.
The latter goods are proposed by Gao Mengnan to Gao Pragmatic, the reason is that the sales of these things in Guangdong are very good, although the medicinal materials are also produced in Guangdong Province, but the medicinal materials in Yunnan and Guangxi have always been very popular, not to mention that Guangdong will also distribute to other provinces, so they are not afraid of sufficient supply at all, the more sufficient, the better.
Gao pragmatic of course, from the advice, anyway, he has to master the transportation and sales channels, and there is no harm to him in selling more goods, but the more he takes more goods, the more he can choke the lifeline of the toasts, especially when they get used to this kind of income, and then suddenly decrease, then no one can stand it.
Of course, there is no problem for people who are used to walking on small roads to take the big road, but people who are used to walking on the big road suddenly take the small road, and no one can be comfortable with it.
For the toasts who have never seen much money, the amount of purchase proposed by Gao Pragmatic is completely astronomical, and many of them have never thought that the money from selling wood can be calculated in thousands of taels or ten thousand taels - in their eyes, this matter is nothing more than sending people up the mountain to cut down and carry it down, as for the cost, the great thing is to take care of the lumberjack's food, and a little reward of three or five dollars of silver every month is enough, or even no silver, copper coins, coarse cloth, anything can be spent.
Although the people under the high press platform set very clear criteria, such as what kind of wood must be how many years old, how thick and long, how can it not be bent, and so on.
But those requirements are not a problem in the eyes of the toasts - I have nothing else to say in Guangxi, but isn't there more or less wood, eight mountains, one water and one field, eighty percent of them are mountains, and they are playing with you?
There is also the tung oil produced by the tung oil tree, which has always been many in Guangxi, wild and planted, but in the past, everyone used to subsidize how much this was used, in fact, it was not taken seriously. They often soaked this and that tung oil, which was precious in other places, just to make it stronger.
For example, they can understand that they can use bamboo spears to soak them, and even javelins can be soaked, which is beyond words. What if you don't soak those things with tung oil, they only need the spearhead to be iron, and they can break the armor, what does it matter if the pole is a little harder or softer?
You know, bamboo is the fastest growing, and Guangxi has a lot of bamboo mountain, how many disposable bamboo javelins to make are more than enough, you actually take tung oil to soak this, it's too luxurious!
In high pragmatic terms, this is a typical overcapacity, so let me help you digest it...... Where is tung oil not good to sell? At the beginning of the big shipbuilding plan, how much tung oil do you have, how much can I eat, I can still sell it if I don't use it, this is a global license, and I am afraid that tung oil is not good to sell in the Age of Discovery? It's true that the Europeans can't buy it if they want to.
And Gao Pragmatic is really not afraid to sell tung oil to the Europeans, can I sell tung oil to them, they can drive the main fleet to East Asia to fight the Ming Dynasty? No kidding, now that Europe is in a mess of its own, the Thirty Years' War and the Dutch War of Independence, plus the Anglo-Spanish War, etc., all crowded into recent decades, it is impossible for the main fleets of the European naval powers to be sent abroad.
Maybe if I sell some tung oil, they can fight a little more fiercely......
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic mentioned the acquisition of tung oil, and the toasts were also very interested, especially Gao Pragmatic could master the unified waterway transportation, and no one dared to ask him for additional taxes, so the profits were guaranteed, and accordingly they were given a relatively preferential purchase price.
As for crude sugar, the competition is not so fierce - the Huang family and several branches have almost rounded up the crude sugar!
This is not a high pragmatic partiality, but the core sphere of influence of the Huang family is almost Chongzuo City in later generations, and Chongzuo City is known as the sugar capital of China. Just one statistic is impressive: it alone accounts for one-fifth of the country's sugar production.
Therefore, the profit of crude sugar, the Huang family accepted it deservedly, if it weren't for the more oil tung on Cen's side, I was afraid that the two would have staged a full martial arts at the venue at that time.
In terms of timber, both sides have a lot of mountains, but the Cen family covers a large area, and the amount allocated to them by Gao Shi is a little more than that of the Huang family. As for the proportion of income between the two sides at that time, it is difficult to say, because the price of various types of wood is not the same, for example, the price of fir and pine cannot be the same.
There is a striking feature of this conference, that is, Gao Pragmatic obviously takes care of the Cen and Huang families in the distribution of interests, and among the two families, they obviously take care of the main family.
He even gave Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling a power that sounded inconsequential, but was actually very critical, that is, Jinghua only looked for the two of them when receiving the goods. In other words: Cen Ling is equivalent to "Jinghua Guixi Supply General Agent", and Huang Zhiting is equivalent to "Jinghua Guinan Supply General Agent".
The supply of other toasts must be passed through the hands of Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling before they can be transferred to Jinghua.
This is obviously not to create opportunities for his subordinates to be lazy, but to clearly support the two of them, the purpose is to enhance the prestige of the two families, so that they can really control their entire clan.
And all of this is so that they can call on the toasts in their sphere of influence to send troops to serve Gao Zhitai in the near future.
So many big things have been done at one time, and Gao Pragmatic is of course in a good mood.
Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and there is only one reason left to launch a Tusi war against Annam instead of a national war.
