Chapter 583: Buy sheep and send pasture
Compared with horses and cattle, the price of sheep is much lower, but it cannot stand in large quantities.
Outside the city of Lanzhou, as the cattle and horses gradually sold almost, the number of merchants around the sheep flock was greatly reduced, even if there were a few merchants to buy sheep, the amount of achievements was pitiful.
"Shopkeeper Li, do you want a batch of sheep, this is a high-grade lamb from the Qinghai grassland, the meat is delicious and the price is cheap." Merton saw a wealthy merchant coming over and hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Boss Li said with a bitter face: "The villain's family background is thin, and he bought a large number of cattle and horses before, where is there any money left, and he has more than enough money to spare." ”
"Lu Dongjia! ...... "Merton did not give up to meet the second rich merchant.
The thin Lu Dongjia hurriedly shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't dare to start at this time, Mohou probably doesn't know yet!" The price of mutton in Chang'an City fell by 30%, and the price of other meat fell by as much as 10%. ”
Merton was unmoved and said: "The price of this batch of sheep in the imperial court is cheap, even if it drops by three percent, I'm afraid the Lu Dong family will also make a profit!" ”
Lu Dongjia waved his hand, took out a worn-out calculation chip, and his fingers flew wildly and crackled: "With labor, the freight is indeed a bit profitable, but if the price of mutton drops again, I am afraid that it will be smashed in my hands, plus the forage to feed the sheep, I am afraid that it is possible to lose all your money!" ”
"Ugh! So how can you be embarrassed to let Lu Dongjia lose money? Merton waved his hand to tell Lu Dongjia to get out.
After a while, Lu Dongjia came to Merton again and whispered: "If Mohou is willing to lower the price a little more, isn't it impossible for the villain to buy more?" ”
"Get out!"
Merton roared angrily, the price he marked was already low, if he did it again, I am afraid that the twists and turns of the imperial history book in the imperial court may be able to drown him.
Lu Dongjia suddenly ran far away, but his eyes couldn't leave the flock of sheep all over the mountains, and he obviously still remembered it.
"Ink sacrifice wine, the old man has heard the news, these profiteers have joined forces in a vain attempt to force the court to lower the price!" Gao Shilian came over angrily and gritted his teeth.
Different people call Merton different in front of Merton, those businessmen call Merton Marquis Mo, and they are honored by their titles, and officials call Merton as sacrificial wine, showing their status with their official positions, of course, they will grit their teeth and hate behind them: "Mojiazi!" ”
"I already knew that!" Merton's face was calm, not the slightest hint of anger.
"This ** businessman is simply making a fortune!" Gao Shilian said angrily.
Merton shook his head again and again and said: "Lord Gao's words are wrong, as far as I know, these businessmen did not donate money to the Red Cross during the Shandong flood, but business is business, selling at a high price and selling at a low price is the essence of business, money is in their pockets, no matter what they do, we can't blame it, waiting for the price and selling is a common means for businessmen, if it is a kid, I am afraid it will do the same." ”
Gao Shilian couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a while, and then slowly calmed down and said: "This is the old man's gaffe, the people of Shandong have been affected, and the old man is too anxious." ”
Merton looked at the sheep all over the mountains, and thought for a while: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will pass, since the road of selling sheep will not work, we can change the way and raise sheep!" ”
"Raise sheep!" Gao Shilian couldn't help but look at the whimsical Merton in amazement.
"Ink sacrifice wine, what the court wants is money, not a flock?" Gao Shilian reminded that no matter how much sheep are raised, they can't get money, and if the imperial court's disaster relief is delayed, neither of them will be able to do well.
Merton said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Gao, the sheep raising that the kid is talking about is naturally not the court itself raising sheep, but selling them to those who want to raise sheep." ”
"A sheep farmer?" Gao Shilian felt that he felt more and more that he could not keep up with Merton's thinking.
"I don't know if Lord Gao can know the imperial court's plan to control the Yellow River." Merton reminded.
"This is natural!" Gao Shilian nodded.
Merton said confidently: "The entire Guanlong land will definitely be restricted from clearing land in the future, and agriculture will be restricted, so it is natural to vigorously promote animal husbandry, which is where the opportunity lies." ”
"What the ink sacrifice wine said is that it was sold to the people of Guanlong!" Gao Shilian said thoughtfully.
"Not bad!" Merton's positive color channel.
Gao Shilian frowned and said: "As far as the old man knows, there are many people and few people, and there are not a few people who raise sheep. ”
The imperial court was very determined to govern the Yellow River, and many people in Guanlong had thrown themselves into the breeding industry, but it was difficult for Rao to digest so many sheep.
"There are many people in the land of Guanlong, and there is not much grassland, but we have it here!" Merton said, pointing in the direction of the Land of Qinghai.
"Qinghai prairie? You are saying that it is impossible to let the people of Guanlong go to the Qinghai grassland to graze, it is impossible, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and how can the people be willing to leave their homeland and go to the land of Qinghai, where they are not familiar with their lives. Gao Shilian said incredulously,
Merton nodded and said, "Of course it's not the land of Qinghai, but Shanzhou!" ”
Shanzhou is the future Xining, the geographical location is very significant, located in the Huangshui River Valley, the water source is sufficient, the soil is fertile, the terrain is low, suitable for the survival of the Han people, more importantly, it is very close to Lanzhou, with the convenience of the brick road, it is only three or five days away from the land of Guanlong.
"Shanzhou!" Gao Shilian said thoughtfully, although Shanzhou had good geographical conditions before, due to the continuous war with Tuyuhun, the people's livelihood withered, and a large amount of land was barren, now the sinister conditions before the Tang Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun are naturally gone, and Shanzhou's advantages are immediately reflected.
"This time we are not only selling sheep, but also giving away land! One sheep gives ten acres of pasture! Buy more and give more, the whole Shanzhou is free to choose from wherever there is no borderland. Merton waved vigorously.
"Buy sheep and give away land?" Gao Shilian's eyes couldn't help but light up, this trick may not have an effect on the people in other places, but it is a great blessing for the people in the few places in the land of Guanlong.
This time, the sheep sold by the imperial court were cheap, and they came with ten acres of pasture, which was a great discount.
"And the grassland outside Lanzhou City is almost gnawed up by these sheep, the kid is ready to invite the imperial court and divide 30,000 cavalry to garrison Shanzhou, one is to solve the problem of food and grass for war horses, and the other is to make the children of Guan Long who have left their hometowns feel at ease." Merton Road.
Gao Shilian couldn't help but bow, Merton was not on a whim, but all aspects have been considered, if according to what Merton said, it is indeed very operable.
When Morton and Gao Shilian were sent to Chang'an City again, this time, the court had passed it with almost no objections, and it was originally the court's policy to immigrate to Shibian and control the Yellow River, and Merton's move could indeed be said to be in line with the trend.
"Buy a sheep and send ten acres of grassland in Shanzhou."
"30,000 cavalry stationed in Shanzhou."
……………………
When Merton's method of selling sheep was reported by the ink magazine, it can be said that it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Guanlong land, and many people immediately discussed it.
"One sheep, ten acres of pasture, then buy a hundred sheep, wouldn't you be able to get a thousand acres of pasture."
Anyone knows that the value of a sheep is not as good as ten acres of pasture, and this sale can be said to be a great bargain.
"1,000 acres of pasture is enough to feed 500 sheep!" Many Guanlong disciples counted their fingers, and couldn't help but be moved, mutton is extremely popular in Datang, the price is not cheap, and the value of five hundred sheep is in the land of Guanlong.
One hundred sheep can develop into a flock of about 500 sheep in three or five years, and it can become a family in three or five years, which is a great temptation for anyone.
Shanzhou is also regarded as the boundary of the Tang Dynasty, plus 30,000 elite soldiers stationed in Shanzhou, Tuyuhun has been destroyed, and there is naturally no problem in safety.
"Parents are here, not far away! Shanzhou is too far away! "There are also many people who hesitate in their hearts and don't want to leave their hometowns.
"It's only a day's distance from Shanzhou to Lanzhou, and from Lanzhou to Chang'an City, you can reach Chang'an City in three days, what is five days?" More people are eager to try, with a smooth brick road, as if the distance is getting closer all of a sudden, the original seemingly distant distance, at this moment it seems that it is no longer out of reach.
"I heard that there are still a lot of pastures along the Huangshui in Shanzhou, which are very fertile, once they are reclaimed, they are high-quality water fields, first come, first served, and you will regret it if you are late." At the same time, a small gossip spread wildly in the land of Guanlong, and almost overnight, it blew through the entire land of Guanlong like a whirlwind.
"Water the fields!"
Almost everyone is attracted by the watering fields, where there is water, there is a field, the ink magazine will analyze the land of Shanzhou very clearly, this place is simply a small size of the Guanzhong Plain, which can naturally reclaim a lot of fertile land. 、
More importantly, Mocun took the most common means in later generations to visit for free, as long as the people who are interested can take the imperial carriage to Shanzhou to visit, the fare is free, and the accommodation is at their own expense.
Su Dingfang's previous grain transportation system has not been disbanded, and Merton naturally used it unceremoniously, and many people in Guanlong were excited.
Not only ordinary people, but even the Guan Long family were also moved, and they began to meet and discuss, they knew much more than ordinary people, and naturally knew that the Huangshui River Valley was indeed a rare treasure land, and it would definitely become a fertile soil over time.
"This may be an opportunity for my Guan Long family."
Many Guan Long families were moved to say, it was time to get in touch with the Mo family.
