Chapter Forty-Nine: White and Black: The White Lotus Sect and the Black Clothes Society
Wang Sen looked at Kang Ning with some puzzlement, how could he be interested in these kinds of food. The children of the two wealthiest business groups in the Ming Dynasty would be interested in appetite.
Although he had to admit that the few foods in front of him were very distinctive, at least his uncompetitive son was now gobbling up all the food.
However, Corning should be someone who has seen the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, how can he be interested in these things. However, he saw that there was a slight change of expression on Kangning's face, and it seemed that intense thinking was going on in his mind, so he didn't ask the first question.
It's just that he didn't know Kang Ning's thoughts at this time, and he had returned to the gluttonous restaurant in Yizhou City. Wherever he had seen potatoes and other high-yielding crops, it meant that some people had already started to make money with such things. Then he can't lose too much to his peers. And this time, he doesn't have to worry about revealing his identity as a traverser, because he can be said to have seen others planting and making huge profits, and he followed the trend when he was greedy.
The idea was set, and Corning's expression was basically back to normal. Only then did he notice the puzzled expression on Wang Sen's face, as well as the eyes in which he had been paying attention to himself.
"Figured it out?" Wang Sen asked.
Kang Ning was shocked, could this old guy be able to read minds? However, he thought about it carefully, he should have only observed that he was thinking with his rich life experience. As for what to think, of course, he Wang Sen had no way of knowing.
He wouldn't believe that this god stick at the end of the Ming Dynasty really had any magic skills and could see through people's hearts.
Thinking like this, his mood was no longer nervous, and he continued to face the people around him with a calm face.
"Figured it out. At least if we open a restaurant like this, we won't lose money. ”
"It's a great idea." The old man Xingqian sent his praise, "I heard that there is no one in the territory of Daming, Mr. Shi Ziming. He had asked people to go overseas to find seeds for these high-yielding crops. Later, we helped him find it. It's just that we only know about planting, and we don't know that he is a town dish for restaurants. Now, his Xiya Academy canteen is probably even better than ours. Gluttonous food and drink have earned it a lot of money for running a school. ”
"High-yielding crops?" Corning only found the essence of these four words from the show's lengthy gorgeousness. As a traverser, he certainly knows that these are high-yielding crops, however, he is now playing an indigenous, so he has to show enough novelty.
"Yes, it's so productive that you can't imagine it." The old man Xing pointed to the potatoes and said, "It's also idle to produce a thousand catties per mu." ”
Wang Sen's hand shook, and the chopsticks accidentally fell to the ground. A thousand catties per mu? What is this concept?
If everyone planted this kind of potato, it is certain that there will be few hungry people in the land of Qilu. If there were no hungry people, there would be no dissatisfaction with the government, and there would be no room for him to spread the White Lotus Sect.
It's not a good thing.
But Corning apparently doesn't think so.
"That's good." Kang Ning analyzed in Wang Sen's surprised eyes, "Let's go back and plant 180 acres, this year's drought in Shandong, whoever has grain, can recruit a group of decent young and strong." ”
"That's right." Wang Sen really wants to blame himself for being an old fool, the potatoes are now in front of himself, not in front of others. It was he, not others, who could get the opportunity to take advantage of potatoes.
He took the chopsticks that the cod had picked up for him and put them aside, then stood up and paced back and forth, and said excitedly, "This is the gospel of the childless mother." ”
The childless mother is the god that the White Lotus Sect has always boasted about, roughly equivalent to what comes to Buddhism and Jesus is to Christianity.
Thinking of this, Wang Sen began to become even more excited, and he seemed to have seen that his White Lotus Sect had begun to flourish.
Kangning felt that the old man was a little bit of a madman, and quickly poured a scoop of cold water on him.
"Thinking about Xu Hongru's development in the past few years, it is inseparable from these things. I heard from the sect leader that he was already a big heir of millions of believers on the rich side. ”
Old Man Xing smiled: "That's right. Xu Hongru, who has already set up his own door, does rely on these things. However, in recent years, his offer has become more and more unacceptable to us. So ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Sen's voice that suddenly became cold had already come: "Big brother, don't worry about money. What we have is gold and silver. ”
Old Man Xing glanced at Wang Sen in slight surprise, he didn't expect that when he talked about Xu Hongru, this guy's reaction would be so big.
He didn't know that Wang Sen, who was already old, was rarely in excitement. But just now he did feel the infinite beauty of the future. But when Xu Hongru was mentioned, his heart immediately cooled. For it was that traitor who reduced his followers and dried up his wealth. And step by step bigger, and even have the meaning of replacing themselves.
However, these things really have little to do with Old Man Xing, and he doesn't need to take it too seriously, after all, his purpose is to find Xu Hongru's unexpected dealer in Shandong.
"Good. Then let's talk about specific cooperation matters. ”
Wang Sen, who had calmed down, sat back, then took a new pair of chopsticks, and said lightly: "It's exactly what I want." ”
Then he gave Corning a look.
Kang Ning immediately understood, and gently coughed twice to remind the old man that the main master of the negotiation was here.
The modest old man had always given Corning a strange feeling. His simplicity has always been incompatible with the mysterious feeling of the Black Clothes Society.
However, now is not the time to think about these.
"Our Sect Master is very interested in your cargo. Me personally too. Now we have to determine only the specific process of the transaction. Corning used to be an extras in later generations, and some high-sounding lines can still be remembered, "First of all, we determine the place of delivery and the place of payment. ”
The old man Xing smiled: "Naturally, it's all here." ”
"Then how to determine the price, is there any discount?"
"We're sure there are no offers."
Hearing this, Kang Ning looked at Wang Sen. Wang Sen turned to look at the old man Xing: "Brother, since we have sat on the business, then we are destined......
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Xing waved his hand to stop him: "Sect Master Wang can rest assured. Our prices will definitely guarantee that you will be able to make enough profits. While continuing to buy more from us. We won't do the trick of killing chickens and taking eggs. ”
Since he said so, Wang Sen and Kang Ning have nothing to theorize.
So Corning continued: "We still have the idea of selling the specialties of the mainland to foreigners, but of course we have no way. However, the profit in this should be worth our cooperation. ”
The old man Xingba clicked his mouth and said with a smile: "I really deserve to be from a business family, and I guessed what we needed at once." Although our proprietor has a lot of rare things for them to buy. However, those foreign devils in Europa, especially the nobles among the foreign devils, have an impression of my Huaxia that is those few things. ”
"Silk, porcelain."
"That's right."
Kangning asked, "I once heard that there are still wars on their side, and I wonder if they are short of food?" ”
"Grain? It has to be cooked and transported, otherwise it will easily spoil halfway. ”
"It's easy to be kept by the people of Europa." Corning smiled.
Old Man Xing obviously didn't plan to hide it from him: "Yes, if they keep the seeds, they won't buy our grain in the future." Moreover, those people are afraid of power but not virtuous, and their selfish desires are extremely strong, and their ambitions are great. In the future, it may become our ...... in China."
"Great enemy...... "Enemy " Kang Ning slowly spat out these two words, and said with a smile, "That's it, we don't have enough food to eat anyway." Let's just let them starve first. If I have time, I have to get them a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics to read, so that they can also understand the essence of my China. ”
The old man laughed: "Xiaoyou is really slippery." It is easy to conquer people, but it is difficult to conquer people's spirit. Xiaoyou's hand coincides with the proprietor of my family. ”
Corning grinned and said, "I don't have the breadth of your proprietor. I just followed the teachings of Master Confucius and educated the four yi. ”
The two of them immediately laughed, and everyone who laughed was somewhat chilled.
The details of the contract between the two parties were thus reached, and from then on another powerful business alliance emerged on the Shandong territory.
Kang Ning took one word from each of the White Lotus Sect and the Black Cloak Society, and privately called it the White and Black Alliance.
