Chapter 22: The Way of Money

The closed-door talks have lasted for three days, and the states under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou Governor's Office, and the big households related to the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce have sent people to hold a meeting here, and the things they want to talk about are related to everyone's "money".

Thanks to the strong support of the governor's government, the states began to build water conservancy, and over the years, not only the floods were controlled, a large amount of wasteland was opened, and workshops used water power for weaving.

The market for the fine woven fabrics of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion has been opened, but with the increase in production, problems have followed, and the first problem faced is that the raw materials are not enough.

The production efficiency of water-powered spinning wheels and water-powered looms is very high, and they can run non-stop day and night, and the demand for raw materials is also very high.

The original countermeasure was to purchase kudzu and hemp in Anzhou, Xiangzhou, and Jingzhou, and transport them back to Huangzhou by water to weave and sell them to various places, or to "process with supplied materials" and collect processing fees for spinning fabrics.

Later, I tried to buy kudzu in Henan states, but the cost of land transportation was not low, and the cost was high, and now the price of kudzu and hemp is getting higher and higher, which has obviously affected the profits, and the development of Huangzhou cloth industry has reached a bottleneck stage.

It's okay to maintain the current production capacity and make money, but it's hard to expand production.

If it was okay in the past, but everyone was unwilling, the opportunity to make money was in front of them, but the result was that they couldn't make money because they couldn't buy enough raw materials, and they were aggrieved by whoever they were.

Huangzhou and its subordinate prefectures have been cultivated everywhere, and it is necessary to expand the cultivation of kudzu and hemp without affecting the cultivated area, but far from water can not quench the thirst of the near, what should we do?

There is also a similar problem, the secrets of water-powered spinning wheels and water-powered looms are about to be disclosed to the cloth mills in other states and counties in Shannan, which is one of the conditions for purchasing kudzu and hemp from all over the country in recent years, and the shortage of raw materials will be even more serious.

The structure of the water-powered spinning wheel and loom is actually not complicated, once it is disclosed on a small scale, sooner or later the whole world will know that the kudzu hemp produced in various places is not enough, so where can the Huangzhou cloth mill go to buy raw materials?

It's easy to do, and I'll talk about it later, and now there is a place to buy, and the amount is enough.

Where? Guanzhong? Hedong? Hebei? This freight is more expensive than the price of cloth!

Rest assured, there is a place to buy, and the news I just received is sure that this number can be shipped over there... So this year, don't panic and open up the weaving.

Yes? That, that... Could it be that it was shipped from there?

Hehe.

As long as some things are clear in my heart, I silently paid for kudzu and hemp, and spun cloth to sell it.

The next question, that is, everyone is talking about the "dart line", to be honest, you are raising your hands in favor of this, after all, it is better to sit on the business, if you can organize a caravan to do business in other places, the profit is rubbing upward.

But the premise is that there is a life to earn, the long journey is difficult and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will disappear in the journey with people and goods, so you need to have guards, but many people's capital is not thick enough to raise too large a guard team.

If there is a dart shop, then you can spend money to hire a dart master to escort you, and the road must be much safer, but the problem that comes with it is the cost.

Spent money to hire a dart master and went on a long trip safely, so how much money can be left after deducting the employment fee?

This problem is divided into two small problems, first of all, the operating cost of the dart line determines the charging situation, according to the plan, the dart line has to deal with various cows, ghosts, snakes and gods along the way, and the cost will not be low.

Then the size of the dart team can not be small, and the risk of dart masters is also very high, so the treatment can not be low, so the comprehensive cost will inevitably be apportioned to the final charge.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and everyone can understand that the start-up charge of the dart store is higher, so the second small question then comes: what kind of goods do the merchants have to sell, so that they can make money after hiring a dart master to escort them with arms?

If you go back and forth after all the hard work, and what you earn is just hard-earned money, then why do you suffer from this sin? It's better to save the money to the Rixingchang cabinet to eat interest, which is cost-effective!

It is true that the cloth and books in Huangzhou sell well, but the small and medium-sized businessmen in Huangzhou go to other places, and it is difficult to compete with the local snakes, and the other party can also buy a large number of books and cloth in Huangzhou and sell them back.

The same is true for soap, as for meat products such as ham, which are sold far and wide, and the profits of ham are not as good as cloth and books, so everyone began to calm down after being excited about the prospect of making money through dart dealings.

For this question, Wang Yue, Li Fang and others gave an answer, and the maids walked in with a set of tea sets, and everyone put a set on the table in front of them.

"It's... Northern white porcelain? It's not like ah, white as milk, this... Which kiln fired the porcelain? ā€

Exclamations come and go, everyone is doing business, on weekdays ushered in more or less some knowledge, today's porcelain can be called "south green and north white", the famous porcelain in the south is celadon for more, and the north is mostly white porcelain.

There are many kilns that can burn white porcelain, but it seems that there is no kiln that can burn such a kind of white porcelain, maybe there is, but they have never seen it.

"Everyone, Li Mou is not talented, I have never seen anything in the world, but I dare to assure you that the porcelain kilns in the world may be able to burn similar white porcelain, but when it comes to cost, there can be no advantage!"

It was not interesting to sell Guanzi, Li Fang began to enter the next link, and he asked the hosts to evaluate the price of a set of tea sets that the maid brought in.

This set of tea sets with white glaze as the bottom, painted with beautiful patterns, showing golden red, especially the mouth of the cup has gold line strokes, the wall of the cup is faintly transparent to the light, and I don't know what kind of process is used to fire, it looks very exquisite.

The tea set was passed through everyone's hands, and then the estimate was quickly counted, about 50 to 60 yuan, of course, this is only a rough estimate, and how much it can actually be sold depends on their own tongue skills.

"Fifty to sixty runs, very good, so let's estimate what the purchase price will be?"

This is difficult to estimate, it can only be judged according to the market and experience, the valuation of everyone present is high and low, about between fifteen and twenty guan, and the answer given by Li Fang is five guan.

"Five! How is this..."

Some people were so surprised that they almost couldn't hold the teacup in their hands steadily, and the purchase price was five to fifty, and the difference was forty-five yuan, which increased the profit by at least nine times.

It is not impossible to have porcelain with such a shipping price, after all, the grade of porcelain is high and low, and there are porcelain with a low price, but compared with the white porcelain in front of it, it is simply incredible.

Wuguan is still the shipping price of the porcelain kiln, and the cost of its firing must be lower, so to what extent can it be lower?

Many people wonder how much profit they can make if they sell this kind of white porcelain, although the porcelain is a little troublesome to transport and easy to break, but under such profits, it is worth a try.

"Everyone, please rest assured, this kind of white porcelain, Huangzhou has a few new porcelain kilns can be fired, everyone is their own people, of course, priority supply, money to earn together, there are many types of porcelain, the price, are easy to discuss."

The atmosphere of the scene was lively again, everyone was overjoyed, the appearance of this white porcelain, let them see business opportunities, many people are glad in their hearts: this trip is the right one!

"Everyone has been talking for so long, presumably their mouth is dry, so drink some tea to moisten their throats first."

Li Fang clapped his hands, and the maids rushed in, holding small pots and kettles, kneeling down in front of everyone's desk and starting to prepare tea, as soon as they opened the porcelain jar, someone exclaimed: "It's so fragrant, this tea has spices?" ā€

"No, no, no, this tea does not add anything, and the method of preparing tea is not boiled, please don't be impatient."

I saw the maid scooping out some tea leaves from the porcelain jar with a silver spoon, which was not a common group tea, but loose tea leaves.

The tea leaves were put into the teapot, the maid picked up the kettle, slowly poured the boiling water into the kettle, closed the lid, and after a while, a burst of fragrance wafted out, the fragrance was stronger than before, and the smell made people feel refreshed.

When the temperature is right, take a sip gently, fragrant but not astringent, and the feeling is more and more intoxicating.

"Good tea, good tea! Where did Li Dongjia find good tea? ā€

Everyone praised it, this expression was already expected by Li Fang and Wang Yue, so the next link can begin.

"Guys, why don't you guess, if this tea is counted in two, how much does it cost?" (To be continued.) )
