Chapter 17 The rapid development of Lijiazhuang
Xianyang is located in the hinterland of Qinchuan in 800 miles, since the king of Qin unified the six countries, forced the six countries to be strong and rich, a total of 120,000 households moved to the national capital Xianyang. The whole Xianyang is the economic and cultural center of the country, and the rich families in Xianyang are the best in the world.
Lijiazhuang on the outskirts of the city is a recent rising Xianyang rookie, and the patches of blue brick houses are really magnificent.
Recently, the refined salt and sugar that have swept the entire Qin country are all from this small Zhuangzi, and it is rumored that this is the asset of Princess Yue, and no one dares to pay attention to this Zhuangzi.
Recently, Lijiazhuang has developed rapidly, and Li Chen has no close people around him, so he called the sixth son back. The property in the city has also been handed over to the convict master who bought it to take care of, and the little old man is literate and knows how to operate, and he can also tell stories part-time. The cheap money bought here is the private property of the main family, and it is useless to beat and scold casually, even if you are beaten to death. This big industry is taken care of by it, and I can rest assured that I have come.
"Brother, the people from the Ba family are here." In the courtyard, Li Chen was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and the cup on the table was a cup of black liquid.
Rokuko swallowed, that black liquid he had drunk once, it was simply the most delicious thing in the world, he remembered that this thing had a strange name, it was called "Fat House Happy Water".
"Eighty percent of the people who come to talk about salt trading, this widow of the Ba family is the first trader in Daqin, so she can talk about it well." Li Chen touched his chin, not knowing what to think.
"The leader is a girl, although she is veiled, that line, that temperament is simply hooked to the bones. Brother, you said it wouldn't be the widow of the Ba family who came in person. Liuzi's eyes rolled slightly, thinking that he knew that he missed a woman.
"Sixth son, brother will tell you. It's like boxing a woman here, and if you have sixty pounds, you will beat sixty pounds. If you have eighty pounds, you will beat eighty pounds. This little widow is so hungry that you can't resist it. Li Chen said with a smile.
"Brother, I have a bold idea. You see we have a supply, and this pretty widow has a market......" The sixth son looked at Li Chen and said seriously.
"What do you think, in response to your bold ideas, Daqin also has a complete set of criminal laws." Li Chen patted the head of the sixth son, this kid was shaking his wit all day long.
"Master Li, let me say it bluntly, my Ba family is very interested in refined salt and sugar." Ba Qing sat in the guest seat and looked at Li Chen.
"Yes, I, Li Chen, have always liked to make friends, especially good-looking friends. After all, do things gather like and people are grouped? Li Chen said seriously.
"Master Li Zhuang ...... That's right. Ba Qing's cheeks were slightly red, he had never seen such a brazen person.
"Every month, I provide 3,000 catties of salt and 1,000 catties of sugar to the Ba family, and I only charge five copper plates and eight copper plates of sugar per catty of salt. Li Chen said.
The refined salt produced in Lijiazhuang is snow-white and delicate and powdery. Compared with the large particles of official salt, bitter and dark yellow, I don't know how many times better. White sugar is something that the entire Great Qin does not have.
Now the refined salt of Lijiazhuang on the market has been fried to eight coppers, and this white sugar can only be bought for fifteen coppers.
"The Li family is magnificent, but I don't know what the conditions are." A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Ba Qingmei's eyes, if this deal is negotiated, it will be of great benefit to the Ba family.
"I don't want money for this business, I want people." Li Chen walked towards Ba Qing step by step, walked in front of Ba Qing, leaned down, and the two stared at each other's eyes.
"Good ......". Ba Qingbei bit his red lips lightly, and a sense of shame welled up in his heart. But for the sake of the Ba family, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed.
"I mean, I want you to bring craftsmen, carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers, and farmers. The price of this craftsman was lower according to the generation of the tooth trader. Li Chen said.
"Okay, my Ba family has answered."
"In three days, I will send someone to pick up the goods." knows that Ba Qing, who wants to be crooked, can restore his appearance as a strong woman.
"I still have a deal, I don't know if the head of the Ba family is interesting." Li Chen said.
"Master Li, please speak." Ba Qing, who got the benefits, was a little impatient.
"I don't know what the head of the Ba family thinks of this deal." Li Chen asked.
"That's great, of course, it's a crowd every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a business that falls from the sky, but is it this transaction? Ba Qing asked.
"It's a pity that this kind of food can only be eaten by us Xianyang people. Every time I think that such a delicacy can't be eaten by all the people of Daqin, my heart is full of guilt for my compatriots. Li Chen said and covered his heart, with a distressed expression.
"Compatriots." When Ba Qing heard this word for the first time, he asked with some confusion.
"Compatriots, that is to say, Daqin is our motherland, the motherland is our mother, and we, the people of Daqin, are the sisters of our mother's compatriots. Speaking of which, the head of the Ba family is a few years older than me, and I still have to call you Sister Ba. Li Chen said seriously nonsense.
"Do you have something to say?" Ba Qing really didn't want to go down with this brazen man.
"Sister Ba, our family doesn't talk to each other. I just want to, your Ba family is out of the shop, and my Li family is out of the way. Let's boil the first in the world all over Daqin, so that our compatriots can eat such food. Li Chen hit the snake with the stick, and the kung fu sister recognized it at this time.
"How?" After this time, even if Ba Qing recognized Li Chen, this is a master who opens a dyeing room for three colors, so he simply goes straight to the topic.
"Ninety-one, I'm nine-you-one." Li Chen said loudly.
"Impossible, at least seventy-three." Ba Qing directly reported his bottom line, too lazy to talk, the opposite thing is a person who does not play cards according to common sense.
"Deal." Li Chen said.
"Farewell, my Ba family will arrange for someone to come over to talk about the specific matters." Ba Qing said angrily.
"Brother, you're amazing." Liuzi said with a thumbs up.
"This girl is not easy to mess with, if you don't use some means, I'm afraid I'll have to hold it for her." Li Chen said with his hands behind his back.
This one woman has propped up the number one business empire of Great Qin. Naturally, it should not be underestimated, but in the era of Great Qin, no one can beat Li Chen in terms of face. The trick of dead skin and shamelessness is obviously particularly effective when used on women.
Lijiazhuang, near the back mountain, has built a huge courtyard here, perhaps it should be called a manor, this manor has more than fifty small courtyards.
"Sixth son, wait for the Ba family to send the craftsmen, and after signing the deed, they will be arranged here. The garrison must be done well, and the contents must not be leaked out. Li Chen said.
"Brother, aren't you at ease with my errands? I just don't understand that this craftsman is mixed to live in such a good yard. Liuzi scratched his head and said.
"You know a fart, science and technology are the primary productive forces." Li Chen scolded with a smile.
I saw a huge plaque hanging at the door of this courtyard, with three big characters on it: "Dharma Academy".
