For Zhao Wan'er, Zhao's firm does not have the ability to attract so many partners in Nanping Mansion, and it is better to develop other markets if she has this time.

What's more, she still adheres to a win-win situation, if there are two commercial banks operating the same product in a place, it will inevitably form competition, and the result of competition may be user income, but the merchant is bound to suffer.

For Zhao Wan'er, now Zhu Zhirong is her partner, and she also expects Zhu Zhirong to send a lot of raw materials from Nanzhou to her, so naturally she doesn't want her to suffer too much.

Zhao Waner and Zhu Zhirong reached a contract of 5,000 yuan of soap, 100 bottles of perfume, and 10,000 catties of fine salt per month.

The number of contracts is not very large, only more than 40,000 taels of silver, which is not a lot for Zhu's firm. Zhu Zhirong actually wants to buy more soaps and perfumes, but the output of Donghai Mansion is so much, and it can't go up for the time being.

The two parties agreed to a cash transaction, but Zhu Zhirong could use various raw materials to deduct the payment. Because there are a lot of things that Donghai Mansion is lacking at present, if Zhu Zhirong transports enough raw materials, maybe she doesn't have to spend extra money, and she can make a lot of money from Donghai Mansion.

learned from Zhao Wan'er that there was a shortage of people in Donghai Mansion, and Zhu Zhirong even hit her idea on human trafficking.

At present, the Southern Zhou Dynasty is still peaceful in the world, and there is no war like the Great Xia and Eastern Wei Dynasty, so it is difficult to sell the population of their own country.

However, the Southern Zhou is the South China Sea, and in the South China Sea, there are hundreds of countries, large and small, and wars often occur. As long as the Zhu family firm said that it would introduce jobs to the people of Nanyang, there were countless people who were willing to come to Donghai Prefecture.

Zhu Zhirong was afraid that Donghai Mansion didn't want those Nanyang natives who had not yet been fully civilized, and specifically asked Zhao Wan'er if anyone wanted it?

Zhao Wan'er told Zhu Zhirong that as long as she is healthy and strong, she can be both male and female, except for the old and the young.

After all, what Donghai Mansion wants is people who can work, not really run a charity, so they naturally don't need to eat and work.

After receiving this reply, Zhu Zhirong said that the next time she sent a fleet over, she would transport thousands of people, so Zhao Wan'er offered her a price of ten taels of silver for each strong man and seven taels of silver for women.

Don't look at this price is not very high, after all, it is not a slave trade, after the people are transported, Donghai Mansion still has to pay these people's wages, if the price is high, it will not be cost-effective.

For Zhu Zhirong, this price is not low, she only needs to pay the freight and the food on the road, and she can earn at least five taels of silver per person.

It's not a lot of money, but it adds up. What's more, this transaction has high points, which can allow her to be promoted to a first-tier partner faster.

"Lord Changshi, great news!"

Su Ziheng was handling official business in the government when he heard a person hurriedly running in from outside the door, waving the report in his hand and shouting loudly.

He looked up and saw that it was Tian Xing, who was in charge of farming, and he said with a smile: "Lord Tian, haven't you already finished harvesting all the rice and other grains in the past few days?" ”

Tian Xing blushed and said, "Lord Changshi is clever, it's true. But there's something you don't expect. ”

"Hehe, then let the official guess carefully, seeing that Lord Tian is so excited, it must be a lot of harvest this time, I don't know if I guessed right?" Su Ziheng guessed while beckoning Liu Sijun to serve tea to Tian Xing.

Tian Xing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and praised: "Lord Changshi is really smart, but can you guess what the specific harvest is?" ”

"This official doesn't know very well, if he hadn't suffered a typhoon, he might have been able to guess a thing or two, but it's not easy to guess now. However, the official expects that the output should not be low, otherwise Tian Daren should not be so excited. ”

"Hehe," Tian Xing said with a smug smile: "This time the rice yield per mu is 400 catties, which is not lower than the rice yield of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River." Logically speaking, this is not much to be excited about, but don't forget that this is a harvest after the typhoon. If there is no damage from this typhoon, Xia Guan estimates that the yield will be doubled, and there should be no problem with the yield of seven or eight hundred catties per mu. ”

"This coincides with what Lord Changshi said to Xiaguan that he can increase production by two or three times, so that in the future, Donghai Mansion will be completely self-sufficient in grain, and there will be no need to import it from outside."

Su Ziheng was also overjoyed and said: "This is really good, tomorrow I will post an announcement of this good news and make it public, so that everyone else in Donghai Mansion will know." ”

"Wait, Lord Changshi, there's better news to come. In addition to rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn grown in the wasteland cultivated in the northern mountains have also received a great harvest. Especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, because they are buried deep in the ground, were less affected by the typhoon this time. ”

"Among them, the yield per mu of potatoes has reached more than 2,000 catties, and the sweet potatoes have reached more than 3,000 catties. As a result, we have added several new kinds of grain to the East China Sea Mansion. ”

Tian Xing's face was simply happy, for a farmer's heir, nothing brought him more happiness than seeing a good grain harvest!

Su Ziheng was a little disapproving, and even a little dissatisfied, you must know that in the previous life, on the earth, the yield of potatoes per mu could reach two to three tons, and sweet potatoes could reach three to five tons. Compared to this output, the current production of Tokai Province is quite low.

"Master Tian, potatoes and sweet potatoes are very good grains, which can be used as both vegetables and staple foods. However, sweet potatoes are not easy to eat and will hurt the stomach, so the most important thing is to make other foods, and I prefer to use them to make wine. ”

"But this is all for the future, now the sweet potato production is not much, and the brewery has not been built, so let's put a warehouse for the time being." Su Ziheng thought about it and decided to press the winemaking matter first.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Tian, I want to remind you of one thing, there are many precautions for the storage of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and I will give you an explanatory note later. It's better to eat it straight so that it tastes better. ”

There are many ways to make sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and the best way to get people in touch with this food that they have never seen before is to conquer their stomachs first.

Only by making the people feel that these things are delicious, will they accept them faster.

But how do you get them out? After all, now is not the era of hungry people eating soil, as long as there are some to eat, even grass roots and tree bark are not spared, in that case, let the people eat sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn These new foods will naturally be much simpler.

But now that everyone has jobs, and Donghai Mansion is not short of food at all, they still prefer to eat rice, eat steamed buns and other pasta, and let them eat a kind of food that they have never been exposed to before, which is a bit difficult.
