Chapter 373: Appeal and Expansion

Cattle are also very important to the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is purely for agriculture, in some caravans, there are also ox carts, but the efficiency and cost of ox carts are much higher than those of horse carts, and even once the cattle temper comes up, the losses caused can be large.

Ox carts, often not allowed to travel long distances, often carry some relatively cheap goods, a little more expensive is not enough, unless the premise of last resort, the caravan will use the ox cart as the main tool, otherwise, even donkeys, are stronger than oxen.

The focus of cattle propaganda is not on these big merchants and big chambers of commerce, but on the cattle acting more in one place than on the speed and stability of the carriage.

For example, ploughing cattle, for example, pulling and grinding, for example, acting as a user of some power, especially the former, once a large number of ploughing cattle, into the Northern Song Dynasty, and when they are used reasonably, the meaning of the livestock represents is completely different, but before, for the caravan that has a lot of money and power, their role is only the role of commodities, of course, there is another, beef is delicious.

How many years has it been in the Northern Song Dynasty, there has been no entry of large quantities of livestock, 10,000 horses, which can make a lot of horse teams engaged in transportation, and the efficiency will increase, as for cattle, the demand will be even more.

More than ten cattle, in the eyes of ordinary people, is really a bit expensive, but used to plough the land, it is really a good choice, as long as it is to the countryside, for some large landlords' families, the increase of one or two cows, is not so simple as the increase of labor, ploughing, grinding, pulling carts, when the horse is expensive to a certain extent, the appearance of this cattle, a great supplement to a certain extent.

If before, it was only Han Qi's own strength that was promoting this matter, when the top ten chambers of commerce participated, the area of this publicity became larger.

At the beginning, the top ten chambers of commerce still felt that if they covered up the news as much as possible, they could make a fortune in silence, but looking at Han Qi's momentum, it was not simply publicized in a place like Xi'an, but gradually spread.

With Han Qi's power in the northwest, it is not difficult to do this at all, let alone the top ten chambers of commerce, even if it is a privy envoy and the head of the Eastern Mansion, they can't stop it, these people can only watch Han Qi's non-stop propaganda, so that the news gradually spreads outward.

In this case, they can't understand what Han Qi means, they have already made it clear that they want to enter the market, and they have begun to raise funds on a large scale, when the time comes, these horses will have a belonging, isn't this enough? Could it be that Han Qi wants to sell these things at a high price?

It's really possible that ordinary Xixia horses and Liao horses, because of the few, one may be several times that of ordinary horses, but that is the premise of scarcity, when there are really tens of thousands of horses, they still do this, do they want to consider the cost.

100 guan a good horse, or even to 150 guan, gritted teeth, acceptable, balance the cost of the carriage and freight, with three or five years of time, the recovery of the cost, is acceptable, but under the premise of doubling or even tripling, the recovery time becomes 5 years, or even 10 years, then they have to consider.

Businessmen are all in pursuit of cost, in the eyes of the top ten chambers of commerce, as long as it is a cattle and horse conference in Weizhou, they are an important part, if Han Qi has the idea of making money, then they would rather not participate.

These chambers of commerce, the energy is still quite large, they have such suspicions, immediately moved some hands and feet, these are enough to affect the entire northwest sales of large merchants, their slightest move, the goods on the world have a huge change, at the same time, also notified the person in charge of publicity, they are about to launch such a cattle and horse conference.

To be honest, these people are the focus of Han Qi's propaganda, and the personnel sent by Han Qi are more in contact with them, and their movements directly affect the success or failure of the Cattle and Horse Conference.

When they had fluctuations, these low-level personnel, unable to deal with it, directly informed Han Qi of the situation.

As soon as Han Qi heard it, he understood what they meant, it seemed that he was afraid that it would affect their interests, but for Han Qi, this Cattle and Horse Conference was just a starting point.

If you simply sell 10,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, and even the ten largest chambers of commerce, you can solve the problem, but for Han Qi, the income in Xixia alone is more than 25 million livestock, of which cattle and horses are as high as 13 million.

He had never thought about it before, it turned out that there were too many livestock, and it was also a trouble, a sweet trouble, there were too many things, and it was not good.

All handed over to the center, Han Qi was unwilling, he also wanted to build Lingzhou into a model, maybe he could move less of the more than 20 million cattle in the back, but the capture of Lingzhou, as well as the 450,000 livestock obtained by Xingqing Mansion, he basically had autonomy.

This includes at least 200,000 horses, more than 400,000 cattle, and a large number of sheep, when I think of these, I have a headache, 200,000 horses, if all of them are sold at the price of 50 guan each, this is 10 million guan, as a privy deputy envoy, Han Qi is not without knowledge, but tens of millions of guan smashed in the northwest border, this is something that has never been thought of, unless it is a war.

The solution to this problem is very simple, businessmen are pursuing profits, and if they understand their demands, they will be able to solve most of the problems.

The reason why the members of these chambers of commerce objected was that because their interests were damaged, they informed others that when there were many competitors, the price of these goods would rise more than they could bear, and they were naturally unwilling.

Coordination, this is Han Qi's forte, if it is any other requirement, if Han Qi makes it more difficult, it is really possible to solve it, the number of cattle and horses, of course, is no problem, what he is most worried about is this, the first batch of cattle and horses, close to 500,000 cattle and horses, this requires a strong force to undertake this transaction, take the opportunity to take it out, wouldn't it be good.

He immediately instructed the people below to let the people of the Ten Great Chamber of Commerce work hard to publicize, and they are not afraid of more people coming, and even in order to motivate them, Han Qi will not treat them badly, and pass on the news to them, if they can get enough people, the scale of this auction will be expanded.

Although Han Qi did not give an exact number, he gave a rough proportion, if he could really pull people in many places, as long as there were 100 chambers of commerce similar to them, he would be able to increase the number of horses tenfold, cattle, depending on the situation.
