The basket is not suitable for the carriage, but it is acceptable, the basket with the quilt was still put into the carriage, loaded with almost 28,000 steamed buns, and the rest, Miao Yuan waved his hand, and gave it all to the villagers present. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the steamed bun was transformed from Zhao Xin, it is no longer a cheap, only preserved fruit, its value is improving, it tastes like it is still eaten, and it is easy to digest, up to the old people in their eighties and nineties, down to the children, you can eat it, and many people who get it are reluctant to eat, so they leave the steamed buns and prepare them for the children to eat.

The scene was thunderous, seven carriages, in the expectation of everyone, slowly left Miaojiazhuang, with their hopes, this time, Miao Qi will take 20 people who have experienced, to Baozhou to sell steamed buns, such a huge number of steamed buns, it is impossible to sell in one place, fortunately, Zhao Xin asked him to investigate the situation in Baozhou before, and he selected 7 places.

From the very beginning, the main target of steamed buns was the military and the Han, followed by some big families and merchants, and finally the common people.

Miao Yuan, who was born in the common people, knows very well that ordinary people who are poor and can't wait for a penny and break into eight-petal flowers basically can't afford to buy two big white steamed buns for 3 Wen or even 5 Wen, even if his taste is so good that it is fried, an ordinary steamed bun may not even be half a penny.

Zhao Xin slowly walked out of the crowd, and from time to time the people came up to thank him, although there was no final effect, those who had eaten steamed bread did not doubt that this steamed bread could sell well, but how much it could be sold, I don't know.

For ordinary people, Baozhou is a very distant place, a prosperous, many people's big city, even Miaojiazhuang, very close to Baozhou, but also has close ties with Baozhou city, not many people have been to Baozhou, the geographical restrictions of feudal society, so that most of the peasants are fixed on the land, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, a lifetime of labor, is their fate.

Perhaps, for Miaojiazhuang, the fate of this moment is changing.

I don't know when, Sun Ji appeared in front of Zhao Xin, for Sun Ji's elusiveness, Zhao Xin has long been surprised, Sun Ji is in charge of Zhao Xin's security work today, and once again saw Zhao Xin's magic, he didn't know, it seems that such a complicated problem, Zhao Xin can solve it so easily, Immortal Zhizhi said, is it really so magical?

A sentence turned in his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he said: "Your Highness, are you so sure that this business can be done?" ”

"Isn't it true that Sun Daiyu doesn't think it's delicious?"

Sun Ji was immediately speechless, that's right, even if it was him, he felt delicious, as a soldier, he knew very well that those forbidden troops on the border had much purchasing power in their hands, some of them were saved, and they could even go to the Qinglou once a month, or half a month, and come out to fight tooth sacrifices, as long as it was delicious enough, no matter how much it was, not to mention that this was quite cheap.

Half a text, to boil water steamed steamed buns, it may take several hours of hard work, and will make a lot, it takes a long time to be able to eat, now there are ready-made, hot, soft and sweet steamed buns, the price is only 3 Wen, how can you stop the desire of the military man.

The better the body, the higher the force, the higher the requirements for food, Sun Ji has a physique, if he wants to really eat enough, he may need more than a dozen steamed buns, and even if the soldiers are a little worse, they need four or five, which is a natural business.

The most important thing is pricing, Miao Yuan is priced at 3 Wen, Zhao Xin recognized this after a simple understanding of the price in Baozhou, of course, if you buy more discounts, you can choose 10 25 Wen, or five get one.

Miao Qi recognized 10 25 texts, and after a simple calculation, he thought that it would be a loss to give one out of five.

Zhao Xin was noncommittal, he couldn't tell the ancients the benefits of sending one out of five, even if on the surface, the same five, one reduced by 2.5 Wen, and one sent 3 Wen, but in fact, for Miaojiazhuang, the cost of only 1.5 Wen is already a higher profit in itself, not to mention the effect of buying 5 itself, becoming 6, and buying 10 into 12, which increases sales in disguise.

Complex business problems, in the 21st century, has become a thick textbook, countless scholars and experts are studying the objective laws of goods, for users, do not have to think about so much, no matter how it is a unique business, 10 25 Wen and five to one, there is not much difference, the profit brought may only be 10%.

Calculated in this way, the gross profit of a steamed bun is at least 1 Wen, which looks small, but it can't stand more, as long as 28,000 are all sold, it is 28,000 Wen, which is 28 Guan, anywhere, 28 Guan is not a small amount, this is a net profit, and even for Miaojiazhuang, there is another layer of profit, that is, the sale of flour.

The reason why Miao Yuan pays so much attention to steamed buns, there is another meaning, last year Miaojiazhuang flour harvest, but unfortunately from the wheat to now, the price has not risen, and there has been a downward trend, tens of thousands of stone of grain, in Miaojiazhuang.

This is not a good thing, even if flour is cheap enough, but there are cheaper grains than him, with flour, for ordinary people, can be the main food, but can not eat all, a family of eight, eat all flour, may increase the expenditure by more than 30%.

Now, as long as the steamed bread business is stable, the consumption of flour is huge, according to one or two halves of a steamed bun, 100,000, may be 10,000 catties, 100 stones, a year, may consume more than 30,000 stones, basically the flour of Miaojiazhuang, consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight.

This is the market price, even if it is still not too high, but it is at least more than 30% higher than the purchase price, which is a real profit for the bankers.

Zhao Xin didn't expect that he put these in the reserved profit with a gross profit of 1 to 1.5 yuan, which means that the profit margin is between 35% and 50%, which is a very high profit.

Miaojiazhuang's requirements are not high, and there may be dozens of guans a day, deducting wages, as well as the money of the public middle school, to make changes to Miaojiazhuang, but this is a little less for Zhao Xin's plan, 30 guans a day, only 900 guans a month, Zhao Xin's gap is probably more than 20,000 guan, he must support the steamed bread business bigger and stronger, from 30 guan, to 100 guan, or even 200 guan, so as to be able to promote his soda ash sales.

An army of 700 people, from scratch, just the purchase of equipment, it takes about 20,000 yuan, this is not a joke, on average, the cost of each person's installation is only less than 30 yuan.

It's just an ordinary forbidden army, not counting ordinary clothes and equipment other than foot armor, it's almost 10 runs, plus step man armor, long knives, longbows and arrows, just on the bright side, it is more than 20 runs, plus the cost of the barracks, daily consumption, a heavily armed forbidden army, may consume an astronomical amount.

Now there are still 120 people, the military expenditure has not increased greatly, and the use of cheap weapons such as longbows, Zhao Xin can still support them, but in the future, in order to ensure the survival of longbowmen, they must wear armor, and the main thing for longbowmen is not to guard against impact and frontal confrontation, he is more about arrow defense.

Therefore, it is better to use chain mail than plate armor or step armor, Zhao Xin can improve the wire drawing process, so that chain mail was born in China in advance, but the manpower and material resources consumed are large, if the number of people is increased to 400 people, the cost will be like running water.

Zhao Xin's previous seizure of the hundred guan is not enough at all, if it is really to be opened, it will be spent in an instant, and it must be open to open source and reduce expenditure, steamed buns are his first step, and it is also an important step.

If Baozhou can sell 100,000 yuan a day, Zhao Xin's profit will be 100 yuan, 3,000 yuan a month, maybe six or seven months, and the gap can be filled

Only then did Zhao Xin realize that only a dynasty had the ability to feed so many troops as an army that was armed to the teeth, otherwise, it would only be able to rob it.

From the establishment of the Liao State and Western Xia, they all need to be robbed, and without continuous robbery, how could they be able to pull up such a large army

To train an army, it is very expensive, the Northern Song Dynasty during Renzong's period, can be called a rich world, with an annual income of more than 40 million, but the huge military expenditure still weighed him down, and finally the finances were dragged down.

At the peak, the military expenditure in the west was high at 25 million, even if it almost destroyed the Western Xia, but it was the financial problem that eventually fell short.

Whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, the way to deal with the nomads is correct, agricultural civilization, high productivity, large population, in the cavalry such a natural ice species, and the nomads have a certain gap, the more north, the more bitter cold places, the strength of the individual is also strong, plus the cavalry this cold weapon era, the best soldiers, pure military strength, the farming nation is at a disadvantage.

From the very beginning, they knew that they would make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and that they would not have the upper hand in field battles. This method is correct, but it costs too much, and building a solid city may cost the equivalent of a lot of armed troops, but for the sake of victory, it is still gritted to build.

Agrarian peoples are easily affected by natural disasters and climate change, and during the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, there was an intermittent Xiaoice climate, and this global, large-scale climate made its own wind and rain chanting into a cruel and disastrous year, without enough grain and not enough production of cash crops, the income will decline.

And also under the influence of this Xiaoice climate, the barbaric nomads in the north will begin to go south, and without thermal weapons, without the premise of thermal weapons to maximize money and resources, the struggle between farming peoples and nomads is almost always the disadvantage of farming peoples, and in the end, more and more heavy, and eventually bankrupt.

This is the inevitability of historical development, but also after the final development of real history, Zhao Xin must solve this problem, otherwise, he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, it will be meaningless, if the humiliation of Jingkang, the change of Yashan, is still according to history, what use do you want him.
