Chapter 296: The Fruits of Lingnan
Lingnan is located in the tropics, the plants here are evergreen all year round, as long as it is a plant that can grow for a long time, it can have different changes every day here, of course, as an annual plant of grain, in a place like Lingnan, it is impossible to become a biennial plant, but the number of planting can be changed from one time in Guanzhong to twice, that is, the so-called two harvests a year.
No matter where it is, there will always be the most peasants in this profession, even in the remote Lingnan there has never been any exception, rice has been very organized by the farmers in Lingnan, and the grain harvested twice a year makes Lingnan basically not worry about eating.
Food is actually another purpose for Jia Yi to come here, there is a very huge field here, and the field contains a large amount of grain, if the excess grain here can be transported to Chang'an or even other places, it will definitely be able to solve the urgent need for food in those places, so he looked at the farmers working hard in the field with satisfaction, but turned his head to Feng Zhiang beside him and said.
"Brother Feng, food may not be a scarce thing in Lingnan, but in Chang'an or even Youzhou and other places, it is something that has never been enough, so if grain can be transported from here to the north, although it can't make a big fortune, it can also make a small profit, the key is that this thing is long-lasting, as long as Datang exists for a day, then this business will not be cut off for a day."
Li Er's brain was hot and he directly set the price of grain at four cents a bucket, so that now all businessmen have basically completely abandoned the road of grain trading, so that all the production areas of the entire Datang have begun to produce and sell themselves, not because they don't want to transport it, but they don't have much profit after shipping it out, and no businessman is willing to do this kind of thankless thing.
Feng Zhiang is the second ancestor of Lingnan, he doesn't know how to do business, so when Jia Yi said this way to make money, he didn't agree to it as soon as possible, but lowered his head and frowned and slowly fell into contemplation, you must know that food is something that must be prepared before the war at any time, and it is estimated that there will not be much problem with the soldier's food if you send it two days late, but if you dare not give the food for a day, then the soldiers will inevitably rebel, and they will not have enough food to go to the battlefield, and they will not have the strength at all, that is, they will be sent to death. Who would want to do something that knows to be sent to death.
"I have a lot of grain in Lingnan, but I can't find any good way to transport it, after all, you don't want to tell us how to make a big ship, and the transportation cost of a small boat is too high, so ......."
Even if Feng Zhiang doesn't know how to do business, at least he still understands the simple truth of making money without losing money, but Jia Yi thought that he would say this, and said with a smile for the first time: "Brother Feng don't worry about transportation, on the one hand, the giant ship I built is used for war and sea, and on the other hand, it is to be able to transport a large number of materials, as long as Brother Feng agrees to transport the grain from Lingnan to the north, I will take this transportation matter with all my might." ”
Although this giant ship was built by Jia Yi with money, but the ownership is Li Er's, and now it is just a loan to Jia Yi for use, and after earning back the expenses spent on building the giant ship, this giant ship will be taken back by Li Er, and now the food is sent to Li Er, and people's wages will naturally be deducted from Li Er's income at that time, and then Jia Yi only needs to carry his own things with him, I believe that he has been busy for so long, and if he gets a little light, Li Er should not have any dissatisfaction.
The most worthless thing in Lingnan is the grain, every year the new grain will replace the old grain in the granary, because the environment in Lingnan is humid, the grain is not easy to preserve, so that a lot of old grain will be mildewed, and a lot of grain will be wasted every year, now the grain can be sold, Feng Zhiang naturally will not have any opinions, with almost nothing to do with the extra grain harvest money, I believe there is no better deal than this.
In order to maximize the value of the giant ship, Jia Yi did not waste any time, and directly began to purchase a large amount of grain in Lingnan, first transporting a batch to the north.
When Feng Zhiang looked at the grain in the granary, which had been put in the granary for half a year, and turned into a pile of coins in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, and even had a thought that the money was so easy to make.
It's just that when Feng Ang saw so much money on the ground, instead of giving Feng Zhiang any praise, he kicked him hard in the ass, and Feng Ang pointed his nose and scolded the stupid.
Feng Zhiang, who was incomparably aggrieved, didn't dare to ask Feng An, but he didn't have any scruples when he asked Jia Yi, who had already had a very good relationship.
"Jia Yi, I obviously made money, why is my father still so angry."
When Jia Yi heard this, he didn't answer Feng Zhiang's inquiry first, but quickly reached out and wiped off the fine beads of sweat that had just appeared on his forehead, Feng An's meaning Jia Yi already knew it clearly, it was fake to beat Feng Zhiang, remind Jia Yi that it was true, even if Feng Zhiang didn't have much talent in business, no matter how he said it, he would die Feng An's son, to put it bluntly, they were a family, Jia Yikeng's was not only Feng Zhiang alone, but the entire Yue Gong Mansion.
Jia Yi, who understood Feng An's meaning, immediately collected all the money that had just been handed over to Feng Zhiang for a short time, and turned it into goods from the north, such as canned wine, etc., these things have now been compressed to the lowest price in the north, although there is still a very large profit margin, compared to the new market in Lingnan, the market in the north has reached saturation.
Lingnan people, who don't have any knowledge of canned food and fine wine and other items from the north, after seeing this kind of new thing for the first time, although they also feel that the price of these things is a little high, but in order to be able to try it, there are still many people who come to buy it, and the things have not been in Feng Zhiang's hands for a long time, and they have become a lot of money, which is several times more than what Jia Yi gave him before.
Jia Yi assigned some of the money to his name without a trace, but after hearing the coughing sound from behind him, he immediately reintegrated the money divided into two piles into a pile, and then looked at Feng An, who had just arrived not long ago, with a smile on his face.
"Ang'er, do you see it, Jia Yixiao's reputation as a little God of Wealth is not in vain, I guess this is the reason why he didn't let go of his hands and feet, otherwise, this harvest is definitely more than that."
Feng Zhiang was actually shocked by the mountains of money in front of him, but when he heard the meaning of his father's words, it seemed that there was still room for improvement, and he immediately felt that everyone in the world had become fools, and only by making money out of the hands of fools would it be so easy and happy.
Just when Jia Yi was about to smear the soles of his feet and slip away, Feng Ang directly reached out and grabbed the collar on the back of his neck, pushed him back to the difficult money, stretched out his hand and pointed at the money and said to Jia Yi: "These are the shares of my Feng family, I was said to bully the small, you take all this money, if the income at that time can not satisfy me, be careful of your ass." ”
Feng Ang finally felt that it was a bit unreasonable to directly deal with the shares, so he could only use the money he had just earned as the funds for the shares, which could be regarded as sealing everyone's mouths.
Others give, Jia Yi has never had a reason to refuse, the first time let people count all the money and property and seal it up, there are still many things that need to be purchased next, and there is no money.
Under the leadership of Feng Zhiang, Jia began to wander in the mountains and rivers of Lingnan, deep mountains and old forests are not to go, there are not only mosquitoes carrying various viruses, but also a lot of beasts and poisonous insects, for the safety of his own life, Jia Yi is not ready to risk his life, but those banana groves and lychee orchards and other unique fruit planting areas in the south, Jia Yi is yearning for this, followed Feng Zhiang behind the first time to watch the growth of these plants, while sighing the growth of the fruit when magical, At the same time, I was discussing with these growers what price to buy.
The canning factory, which is destined to be opened by Jia Yi throughout the Tang Dynasty, was soon built in Lingnan, and all kinds of purchased fruits were transported to the canning field for processing, although some specific fruits were not made into canned food, there was a way to transport them back to the north, but the damage and loss would be relatively large after all, and it would be good to carry a small number of points.
Time flies, Jia Yi is busy buying all kinds of Lingnan specialties here and canning them at the same time, time is also passing quickly, in a blink of an eye, they have come to this Lingnan for a year.
In the autumn of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Jia Lu, who has been able to run around the world, has been very adaptable to the completely unfamiliar environment of Lingnan, perhaps because Jia Yi's family treats him as a baby, Feng Ang and others also regard him as a pearl in the palm of their hands.
Jia Yi has prepared a lot of all kinds of materials, just waiting for the giant ship that has returned to the ship to return to the ship as soon as possible, and load it back to the north, because the Jia family is all with him, so Jia Yi has no homesickness, and it has really become my hometown in peace of mind, seeing that the day is about to pass, suddenly the main sail of the giant ship appeared in his sight, and his mood suddenly became excited.
