Chapter 19: The Impact of Polders (Part II)

"How much did you earn today?" In fact, not only Li Ming, but other families are also concerned about how much they have earned today. In their opinion, today is a bit of a loss, after all, in the past, they could sell all goods for 350% profit, but now it is only 50%.

Profits still exist, and Li Ming insisted that the transaction with the Shanyue people must also be traded at the normal market price, which makes their profits fluctuate, otherwise who would be willing to sell the goods at hand at a loss?

"Figured it out!" The account room is not easy, the shipment volume is at least several times that of the past, to calculate the cost of freight and profit, according to the previous calculation method, there is no abacus in the case of much more cheating father.

"The volume of goods sold is 5.7 times that of the previous one, and if we compare it purely with the previous profit, we have lost three times the profit compared to before. But judging by the results of a single sale, we made three times as much profit as before! The bookkeeper replied in fear.

"Three?" Zhang Yun (not the one from Jingzhou) couldn't help but marvel, and even wondered if he had miscalculated.

"I've calculated it twice, and there is no discrepancy in the results!" The bookkeeper hurriedly replied.

The Zhang family is an old family in Jiangdong, and the ancestor is Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Hanliu, and his grandson Zhang Song has five sons, and the fourth son, Zhang Mu, began to live in Wu County. In other words, the Zhang family has been here in Wu County for nearly 200 years. If it weren't for such a prominent status, the Zhang family would not have been able to monopolize the salt goods in Jiangdong.

Zhang Yun is the head of this generation, and if he can be the head of the family in this kind of old family, his ability will naturally not be bad. Just listening to the calculation results of the accounting room, he couldn't help but bow slightly.

"It seems that this polder is good, next polder, ask if Taishou needs help, or that Zhang plans to buy a fixed stall, I don't know if it's okay!" Zhang Yun nodded.

"My subordinates will go immediately tomorrow!" The account room is handed over, if it is late today, it seems a little abrupt to visit again.

"Third brother, although we have earned three times, this is the result of selling more than five times the goods......" Shanyin County Commander Zhang Dui, that is, Zhang Yun's second brother, couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"The second brother doesn't know anything!" Zhang Yun smiled faintly, "According to the previous method, we can indeed earn more profits, but to put it bluntly, how long can we trade?" In the past, when life was tight, Shanyue must be cautious in using salt, and drink animal blood to replenish if he can. Now that the transaction is so simple, the consumption of salt will definitely increase, and this bit of salt will soon be consumed, and the next time they buy it, it will only be more! Even if there is a decline in the end, we will trade out a lot more salt every ten years than before, are we short of salt? ”

"When did our Zhang family ever run out of salt? Or the third brother, you are smart, and you can actually see the benefits clearly! "Zhang Dui is not stupid, he just can't figure it out, and if he understands it, he knows the beauty of this polder.

"This is just the transaction situation in Sanyin County, maybe in two days, more results will converge! This polder is really good! Zhang Yun smiled, according to this result, maybe half a year can complete the sales of the previous year.

Doubling annual income, just a polder? Zhang Yun couldn't help but gasp, this profit was too big, he couldn't eat it, although he had a headache, but he decided to go to Li Ming tomorrow, as well as the Gu family and the Zhu family, of course, the Lu family.

The Zhu family, the Lu family and the Gu family actually made a lot of profits, of course, relatively much more, this and next transaction must be abnormal transactions, it is not strange that profits have skyrocketed, but it will inevitably decline a lot in the future. If this is the case, the amount of ironware, cloth and grain purchased by Shanyue will definitely increase significantly.

"It's just a polder, a very ordinary polder, which brings the Shanyue villages around the counties under its rule. At the same time, the profits of our four major families have increased significantly, why do you say this? Gu Yan regarded this situation as an education, and summoned all the future generations.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the only answer is that this policy just caters to the needs of the Yue people, those barbarians!" Gu Yong is also among these young people, because of Cai Yan's relationship, he and Cai Yong both came to Shanyin County.

"Yes, we tend to think that the more barbarian the mountains, then we will crowd them out, and even try to drive them out of our sight. We are the conquerors of this land, so we should enjoy the power of the victors. And they, as losers, don't even deserve the same power as us! Gu Yan nodded.

Then he pointed in the direction of the county government and continued: "Li Ming doesn't seem to think so, he thinks that since the Yue people have been naturalized, then they should enjoy the same power as the Han people, and even further sinicization will completely turn them into Han people, instead of 'Yue people'. So he took into account the needs of the Yue people, and on this basis, he thought of the polder!

Those who do not have a household registration are not allowed to enter, but even if they do not have a household registration, can they not be allowed to come in and trade? As long as the Yue people without household registration are not allowed to enter the county seat, then there is no problem with his policy. On the other hand, this polder is to meet the needs of those Yue people, not only do we earn more profits, but the Yue people can also trade with us more boldly, and even re-naturalize, and there is no need to arrange another field for them to cultivate, just as the so-called killing multiple birds with one stone!

I was worried at the beginning that Li Ming was a reckless man, but now it seems that this talent is really hidden, no wonder the Xun family values him so much! We must do a good job in the relationship with him and the Xun family in the future, and we must guide and guide Li Ming to continue to maintain such governance measures. ”

"For example, the attitude towards the Yue people?" Gu Yong soon knew what Gu Yan was talking about.

"Yes, as long as there is a profit to be made, it can make Huiji and even Jiangdong more prosperous, what about the Yue people? Three generations can't be officials, what about after three generations? The probability that they can become officials is still very low! This means that even when they see us, they still bow their heads and salute, and our status remains the same! Our power has not changed either! Gu Yan grinned.

"Uncle is wise!" Gu Yong gave his hand, and the young men around him also gave his hand one after another.

Conversations like this are also found in the other three major families, and even the Wei family and one or two other families in Huiji County have also made huge profits in this transaction.

Not to mention the Chinese patent medicine workshop, the first batch of Chinese patent medicine is being made in full swing, the materials have been purchased, and the rest is to make these materials into Chinese patent medicines, and then sell them to the Central Plains region. Even antidotes and healing medicines, in the Koto area, will sell well, and those Yamagoe are the biggest potential customers.

Not to mention, there is also the miracle medicine of anti-worming, just tonight, there are already two homeless people who have taken the medicine, and a large number of parasites have been pulled out, which looks really shocking. This also strengthened the family's determination to give this insect medicine to everyone in the family.

After all, no one wants to have a whole bunch of bugs running around in their stomachs.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the gate of Sanyin County was opened, two figures appeared outside the gate.

"Daddy, can we really enter?" Pan Lin looked at his father a little worriedly.

"It's okay, we've got a way!" Pan Bao was holding the road guide in his hand, but he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart. After living for more than 20 years, this is the first time he has entered the county in the open, and he is actually a little nervous!
