Chang Wei said at this time: "There is also a semicolon in Qingcheng that has also been blackmailed, which was unthinkable before September. Now it seems that it is still the backlash caused by the killing of Su Nan, those nobles feel that they have been cut off, they used to have interests entangled, they sat back and watched us develop in the grassland, and now one is the same enemy, and the other is that they feel threatened. ”

Zhang Han looked at Tian Jitang and said, "Lao Tian said the figures of trade with the north in the past few months. ”

Tian Jitang said expressionlessly: "We are now 1,300 vehicles on the grassland, and the vehicles exported by Xinpingbao every month are also more than 1,000, which means that more than 2,000 large vehicles are dedicated to delivery. Every month we will transport more than 100,000 stones of grain and more than 20,000 pieces of cloth, and the rest of the miscellaneous goods are also a lot, after the winter, the demand for grain increases, the demand for cloth is greater, the demand for woolen wool also increases, silk, all kinds of cloth, all kinds of cloth, all the more, the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce has sent a report, asking the military and political department to continue to tilt the policy towards the grassland, until the resident cart reaches more than 3,000, the supply of materials should be eased. ”

Zhang Han nodded slightly, that is to say, from the beginning of the year to the present, at least nearly 900,000 stone grains, more than 100,000 pieces of cloth have been transported to the grassland, and there are also a considerable amount of groceries, which are the materials that He Yusheng and various chambers of commerce gathered and transported.

900,000 stone grain, the average cost of grain collection is about four yuan, the recent rise in grain prices may rise to more than five yuan, counting the cost of transportation, when arriving in the northern border of the grassland, it is between seven and eight yuan, and the price of Yusheng is two taels and one stone, and the profit is more than double.

There are also some Mongolians who are not convinced, they can buy grain for four or five yuan and a stone in the horse market, and there have been more or less many Taiji protests for the herdsmen, but the attitude of Heyusheng is that they will never give in, there is no more than double the profit, what are you doing with these smuggling things?

Chang Wei also pointed out to those Taiji on the grassland that the herdsmen would have to lose their own grain, and they had to travel thousands of miles to the horse market to trade, and the price of grain was not cheap when converted.

Of course, the Mongols did not have much cash in their hands, and most of the herdsmen traded their furs and horses, cattle, sheep and other grassland specialties with furs and horses, cattle, sheep, etc.

"Until the end of September, we have bought 650,000 pieces of various furs, 70,000 horses, 30,000 cattle, 150,000 sheep, and 150,000 silver for the rest of the goods." Tian Jitang then said: "Furs and cattle and sheep are the best to sell, almost out, horses are sold less, and now sixty percent of them are out, and there are still forty percent in their hands, and they must be out of the house before the year." ”

Li Guozhu listened to it on the side, only to feel his heart pounding.

At this time, he knew Zhang Han's intention of asking him to come over to listen, which was very clear and speechless to tell himself and Yusheng's hole cards how strong!

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that everyone kept coming up with detailed figures to compare when they spoke, Li Guozhu would almost have thought that this was a meeting deliberately arranged by Zhang Han, and then exaggerated the actual figures tenfold...... Leather goods are extremely hard and hard hard currency in the South Seas, and there are as many as they are produced, and they are good goods without any ambiguity, almost equivalent to gold and silver.

Yan Siqi's subordinates in Taiwan, in addition to farming, are fishing and hunting, and hunting is mainly to hunt deerskins.

The Japanese also want it, and there are very many of them.

During the Chongzhen period, the Dutch obtained a large number of deer skins because of their colonization of Taiwan, and the annual trade volume reached an unprecedented 150,000 deer skins!

Even if it is 1.5 million pieces a year, this deerskin will definitely be sold!

Leather goods, cattle, sheep, and horses are also good goods in the mainland, and there are huge profit margins overseas.

"With the opening of the first trade route to Liaodong, next year, that is, in the second year of the Apocalypse, the shipment of grain and cloth must be at least doubled." Tian Jitang finally said: "The estimate of the Finance Bureau is like this, and the specific situation depends on the figures in the next few months. ”

Li Yuchun frowned and said: "Doubling the grain, that is, at least two million stones a year, is it really so much?" ”

"It should be." Chang Wei said: "In the north of Mobei Mongolia, the demand for grain and cloth is not as large as that of Monan Mongolia, and the demand for the east is greater than that in the west. The tribes of the northern captives were significantly larger in the east than in the west, and with the addition of a war in the east, their need for food was greater. The Dongyu are no longer a small tribe of 200,000 people, and they still have to be responsible for the needs of the three million Han people in Liaodong, Liaozhong, and Liaonan. ”

Zhang Han shook his head slightly, Chang Wei and the others' judgment was still on the basis of treating Donglu as a human being...... In fact, in the second year of the Apocalypse, Nuerhachi began to reverse his original intention and began to rob the Han people, but it was not too serious, but forced the Han people to support the Jurchens, and in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, six years and two years of continuous disasters, the disaster not only Liaodong, but also spread to Mongolia, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of people starved to death, at that time Nurhaci simply robbed the Han people's grain, all the Han people who did not have grain were killed, and those who had grain were also compiled into the village, and all the Liaodong Han people became the Jurchens' clothed slaves, providing for their female Allah.

Even so, the price of grain in Liaodong has also risen steadily, reaching a peak of eight taels and one stone.

Yang Qiu interjected at this time: "The price of grain in Liaozhen has also reached one stone, one or two dollars. ”

Sun Jingting said: "The imperial court has been transferring grain to Liaozhen, why is the price of grain still so high?" ”

"Shipping." Li Shenming said: "Last month, I saw that the mainland transported grain to Liaozhen, a round trip of one or two thousand miles, and each stone of grain to Liaodong transportation also needs to add one or two, which is much higher than our freight." Because of the fear of the lack of food in the military town, the imperial court urged very strictly, and the magistrates and the officials in charge urged the people, and many people died on the way, and people regarded Liaodong as a fearful way, and the price of grain was not only high, but also blood. ”

Tian Jitang said at this time: "Last year, the silver in the mountains and seas of Jingyun Liao Town exceeded 3 million, and the needs of a large number of garrisons plus the consumption of the people, plus the needs of the fleeing refugees, the silver was more and the grain was less, and the prices of course rose rapidly. ”

This time everyone nodded, this is the simplest economic problem!

The imperial court invested a large amount of silver taels in Liaodong to feed the town army, and silver poured in, but because of wars and disasters, the local grain harvest was reduced, which could only cause prices to rise, even far beyond the normal value.

Now there are disasters in Datong and Shaanxi, but the price of grain is at most five yuan, and it has not reached the peak, but Liaozhen has already paid one or two yuan and is still rising.

Ma Chaoren has been listening, his brows are furrowed very tightly, and he didn't keep up with these people's ideas for a while, Ma Chaoren looked at Sun Anle and Ma Huaxian on the left and right, and found that they were also a little ignorant.

"The profits are only going to get bigger, fight!" Chang Wei finally hit the table with a fist, and the person looked a little wanton and wild.

Some people admire, some people frown, Chang Wei has become a sharp blade in Zhang Han's hands, and he has done everything he has done for him very well.

"It is necessary to increase the investment in cavalry." Wang Changfu and Liang Xing glanced at each other, and also said: "The matter of the infantry being equipped with flintlock pistols will be delayed again, and the resources will be tilted towards the cavalry. ”

"There still has to be a strategy." Zhang Han said: "It is still necessary to distinguish the priorities, and the fight and pull must be clear." Military intelligence comes first, with the assistance of attendants, staff officers, and military and political departments, and each department draws up a plan based on specific information. ”

"One more thing." Li Dongxue said: "Recently, the Jin Wangfu came to add three tax cards, a flying fox path, a well path, and several vassal kings also set up a card each, the Dai Wangfu originally did not set up a card on the official road, and recently added two tax cards, if it were not for Zheng Junmen, I am afraid that officials and big households around the country will also want to set up cards." ”

"That's fine." Zhang Han rubbed his eyebrows and said, "For the time being, I can only endure it." ”

Sun Jingting sneered: "These dogs who can't eat enough, they will only think about the second one when they give one bone." ”

Ma Chaoren and others only faintly understood at this time, the number reported to them by Shicai contained a huge amount of profits, and the profits will only get higher and higher, smuggled out, the income is transformed into profits that can be seen and taken, doing business in the mainland, because He Yusheng has made a big move, and those who can't afford it still dare not provoke it, and it is these relatives who provoke it, it seems that He Yusheng is going to tilt resources more and more out of the mouth.

Thinking of this section, Ma Superman was a little uneasy and faintly worried, but this thought was quickly suppressed.

Obedient to the wind, this year's profit alone is at least one million taels, and next year may be even more.

According to the proportion of the share capital of Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce and Ma Chaoren, it is at least tens of thousands of taels of silver dividends!

Ma Chaoren's family used to have thousands of acres of land and a grain trading house, and the net income of a year would not exceed 2,000, which was already considered a high income among landlords and promoters, but compared with the current dividend ratio, it was really unreasonable.

With such a high profit in front of him, Ma Chaoren didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Our Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce is naturally following the adult, no matter what decision is made, we will follow it to the end." ”

Ma Hua spoke a little late first, regretting it for a while, and hurriedly said: "The Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce is also following the adult. ”

Sun Anle did not speak, and attending as an observer in his capacity was an attitude in itself.

Zhang Han stood up and said with a smile: "Today's meeting will be here first, and when there is a specific plan, we will inform the various departments and chambers of commerce in various places." Everyone has a stake, let's share the weal and woe. ”

"Yes, sir."

Everyone stood up and bowed in agreement.

People went out one after another, leaving only Li Shenming and Chang Wei by Zhang Han's side.

Zhang Han said to Li Guozhu: "This Li Zunlu Li brother is my best friend and my Ming Dynasty, and the other is Chang Wei, who is my cousin, and now he can also help me." ”

In fact, Sun Jingting should also stay, but the Military Orders Department has to go out to be busy, and Sun Anle and his party also have to entertain, Zhang Han asked Sun Jingting to take charge of these things.
