Chapter 230: The Night Banquet
"This is not difficult, some of these things can be made into dried seafood in the future, so that they can be carried to Chang'an, and then soaked or washed before eating. For example, kelp, squid, sea cucumber and shrimp can be used, and the resulting food is still delicious. ”
"For others, when the cement road in Guangzhou is repaired, we can freeze it with ice cubes and store it, and then let the carriage quickly take it to Chang'an. This refrigerated food can also keep the seafood fresh and delicious, but it is more expensive. ”
Li Hao said with a smile after hearing this, these will also be one of the specialties of coastal areas such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou in the future, and they must be sold to the whole of Datang. His own shopping mall can provide channels, Li Hao has already thought of a market for these things, how could he forget these things.
The only thing left now is to restore calm to these places on the east side of Lingnan Road as soon as possible, and then vigorously develop people's livelihood, and then slowly map the more wild places on the west side of Lingnan Road. These are also the things that Li Hao has to deal with next, and the road is still very long.
This Quanzhou Mansion will have to go through a storm before it can fully enter the peaceful period. So, let yourself set off the storm first, starting with tomorrow's feast! Start at the port of Quanzhou Port! Set off a storm!
After eating in Deyuefang, the group went to Li Hao's house. This mansion was bought by Li Hao from a wealthy businessman at his own expense, and there was no unspoken rule or anything like that, it was a normal transaction, and Li Hao asked his students to come forward to buy the mansion.
Looking at the sea by the mountains, a very large house. This was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman in the mainland, but the owner was old and ready to return to his hometown, so he sold the house. Li Hao's students came at the right time, and they couldn't buy it later. Houses here are in short supply, and I'm not afraid that no one will buy them.
In fact, it is not difficult for Li Hao to find a place to live in Quanzhou Port, although his identity as the head of the Lingnan march cannot borrow money, it should not be a problem to find a place to settle down, but Li Hao will not care about anything in this kind of thing, and there is no need, he himself is not short of money!
There were many wealthy businessmen who came from Guangzhou with Wu Shun and the others, and many of them organized their own fleets. As soon as the road from Shaozhou to Tanzhou was opened, the merchants of Tanzhou, Yuezhou, and Hongzhou ran along this road to Guangzhou Prefecture.
The local wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou are not stupid, they know that this situation is not right, and then ask someone they know. It turned out that these wealthy businessmen were all coming for Li Hao, the new head of the Lingnan March, and they wanted to see if they could lend Li Hao.
This answer made the businessmen of Guangzhou Mansion stupid, didn't everyone pay money to maintain relations when they walked with those officials these days, when did these businessmen be keen to lend money to officials? Is this a new type of bribery?
Later, the people who inquired carefully came with the news that it turned out that Li Hao, the head of their march, turned out to be the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he started from scratch, not only created a huge industry, but also became a high-ranking official at a young age. No matter how you look at it, such a person feels that the future is limitless, and he is very trustworthy.
After he borrowed money from a wealthy merchant, he would definitely repay it regularly with interest, or mortgage it at a low price for something of the same price, so that the rich merchant who lent him money could make a big profit. Therefore, the businessmen in several places around Tanzhou Mansion, who had eaten the sweetness, immediately ran over to take a look when they heard that Li Hao was here to serve as an official, and by the way, to see if there was an opportunity to borrow money.
As a result, as soon as he came here, he met Li Hao and asked Wu Shun to solicit wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou Mansion to raise money in his own name. When these out-of-state businessmen heard this, they were overjoyed and ran over in high spirits. Originally, it was raised in Guangzhou Prefecture, but later, the rich merchants on the Guangzhou Prefecture did not have as much money as other merchants from other places.
Now these businessmen from Guangzhou Mansion who have invested money are coming over, they just want to see how Li Hao makes those who are willing to spend money on him make money, and they also want to see if there are any opportunities to make a fortune in Quanzhou Mansion, and these businessmen have never lacked the motivation to go around and break through.
"The general will invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night in Deyuefang, and then we should discuss the matter of investment." The merchants of Tanzhou, Yuezhou and Hongzhou, who came with these merchants from Guangzhou Prefecture, were elated one by one, and they were even happier when they knew that Li Hao had invited them to a banquet.
They had dealt with Li Hao several years ago and knew what Li Hao's personality and style were. Li Hao invited them to the banquet, which means that there is business for them! And the business provided by Li Hao has never been a business that does not make money, even if it is the gadgets that Li Hao said, it can make these businessmen earn a lot of money.
For these merchants, Li Hao is their god of wealth, and they believe in God and trust Li Hao. That's why they traveled thousands of miles to Guangzhou Mansion, and then turned around and ran to Quanzhou Mansion. Last time, Shudi was because the mountain road over there was too difficult to walk, so the merchants over there picked up a bargain, but this time they won't.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tonight's banquet. Some time ago, the Quanzhou Mansion and the Guangzhou Prefecture borrowed some money from you in my name to thank you for your generosity, so this night banquet was held to thank you. ”
The people attending this banquet were not only businessmen from Tanzhou, but also businessmen from Guangzhou and Quanzhou. Li Hao is like this, he trusts him and is willing to help him, and he will definitely give a good reward. If you don't help him, he will only act as if he didn't see it, and the kind of person who is secretly against him will be embarrassed.
There are not many businessmen in Quanzhou Mansion, only a dozen or so, all of them are Han Chinese, and the capital is not the top sequence in Quanzhou Mansion. They may have borrowed money because of Li Hao's identity, or because of the peace of Quanzhou Mansion. There are not many businessmen in Guangzhou, they are the kind of people who have a strong vision.
In addition, over the years, I have seen how the businessmen in Tanzhou have flourished in the Tang Dynasty, so these people have also taken the opportunity to come over to invest, and most of these people are the best among the businessmen in Guangzhou. Good vision, bold and aggressive.
The businessmen of Tanzhou, Yuezhou and Hongzhou do not need to be introduced, they are all old acquaintances. This time, only Li Hao and Quanzhou Thorn Shi came to participate in the banquet, and Guangzhou Thorn Shi was supposed to come over, but he was so busy now that he naturally couldn't come.
"As for this banquet, in fact, there are many people who are acquaintances with me, and we have been in contact with Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Tanzhou a few years ago. Everyone knows me, so I went all the way to come here, and I would like to thank you again for your kindness. When Li Hao said this, he deliberately greeted the people in these places, but Zheng Tingshi beside him looked puzzled.
He didn't understand how Li Hao, a court official, could have such a good relationship with the merchants in these places. Zheng Tingshi is neither good nor bad for the existence of businessmen. After all, for so many years, the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business has been influencing everyone.
"Isn't it delicious?" After being full of wine and food, Li Hao began to officially talk about cooperation with these people, first of all, he had to start with his own banquet in Deyuefang. For people of this era, seafood is a good thing, but it is difficult for them to make it as delicious as it is now.
And Li Hao is a god who turns decay into magic in their eyes, whether it is the Mantingxiang in Tanzhou or the whole fish banquet in Yuezhou, or the food in Hongzhou, what they originally thought was not very good, after Li Hao's hands, it became an incomparably delicious food.
"The restaurant where Master Li feasted, no matter where it was, the food was absolutely first-class. The food in this Deyue Fang is naturally a must. ”
"The seafood in this Deyuefang is indeed delicious, as delicious as the delicious food in Yuehailou in Guangzhou. Unfortunately, it is too difficult for these seafood to be shipped inland, otherwise it can be sold elsewhere to make a good profit. ”
Can seafood not taste good? The merchants of Guangzhou and Quanzhou haven't felt anything yet, but those merchants in Tanzhou can see business opportunities. As long as this thing is promoted a little, they have a lot of shopping malls in Datang, and they can go up and down.
They can make money by pulling seafood to the mainland to sell it, and the people in the mainland can also eat all kinds of seafood, which is generally a happy result. It's a pity that the transportation at this time is too difficult, and it is still a little short to do this business.
"Hehe, it's not impossible to ship inland. One of the aspects of this time is to talk about the business of seafood, transportation and preservation, and the two places of Quanzhou and Guangzhou provide seafood, and you provide sales. ”
Li replied with a smile, this is just a small business. In addition to these, the cement and gravel used to build the road here is also a small business, plus the grain operation. And some of the businesses here are ready to be reshuffled, only those here are qualified to operate, those who don't cooperate, get out.
In addition, he has several big businesses to do, which are really big. Immediately, Li Hao asked people to take out a small sand table, this is the sand table of the entire Lingnan Road. In order to get this thing out, Li Hao spent a lot of points to replace it from the system, because this thing perfectly reflects all the terrain of Lingnan Road now.
Borrowing money from these businessmen, Li Hao naturally wanted to tell the use of the money, which required the use of the sand table. There are a few white ribbons in the sand table, and there will be dots on the bands at intervals, which is what Li Hao has to do.
"This is what I'm going to do, build a cement road from Quanzhou to Guangzhou, another road to Hongzhou, and then another one along the coast of Quanzhou." Li Hao took a stick and pointed to the sand table and introduced it to all the merchants.
