Chapter 522: Fang Lading Family Union
Fang La was invited into the court, and the guests and hosts on both sides sat down, and the Ding patriarch asked first: "The younger brother of the sect leader of the previous time came once, and said that he wanted our Ding family's private salt business, and I told him that our Ding family's ancestors have relied on this salt for generations, and they can't let it go, I don't know what the sect leader is doing today?" ”
Fang La smiled and said: "I didn't come this time to rob the Ding family's business, nor did I want to share the Ding family's share, but to send a great fortune to the Ding family." ”
Patriarch Ding asked, "Oh? I don't know what kind of wealth it is, Sect Leader Fang said that it will also let us countrymen see and understand. ”
There was a trace of disdain in the words of the patriarch Ding, for the poverty of Manichaeism, Jiangnan is well known, fooling those hardships all day long, how much money can be a year, so the patriarch Ding does not look at the wealth that Fang La said.
Fang La said with a smile: "The wealth I gave to the Ding family is that all the salt business in Jiangnan is handed over to the Ding family!" Whether it is official salt or private salt. ”
Patriarch Ding didn't react for a moment and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Fang La just smiled and said nothing, the Ding patriarch thought for a while, and then saw Fang La's smile and was suddenly startled, knowing what Fang La meant, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said: "The Ding family has enough to eat, don't dare to think about it, this rich Ding family is going to come." ”
Fang La smiled slightly and asked: "The Ding family in this salt business is also an old man, how much private salt is accounted for, how much money does it make, and how much can it earn if it gets the right to sell all the salt in Jiangnan?" That's not as much as anyone else can earn in a year. ”
Patriarch Ding was a little hesitant, this was a matter of losing his head, but in the face of such a big temptation, Patriarch Ding couldn't refuse, and thought about it for a while before asking, "Then what does our Ding family need to pay?" ”
Fang La said with a smile: "Patriarch Ding, don't worry, this matter will not be successful, your Ding family is still the Ding family, I don't need you to charge into battle, and I don't want you to wave your flag and shout, I just want your Ding family to have some heroes on the water and a shipyard." ”
Patriarch Ding was still a little hesitant, Fang La smiled: "In this way, in order to show our sincerity, let's withdraw from the private salt trade on the entire Jiangxi West Road first, and give these to you, okay?" ”
Patriarch Ding nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay! Then I'll give you the Dingjia shipyard in Jiujiang. ”
Fang Lahaha laughed and said, "Okay! Patriarch Ding is refreshing, we are sure of our word! ”
The Ding patriarch felt that Fang La was indeed a person who did great things, and this kind of courage made the Ding family very happy, in fact, what Fang La paid was originally the original things of the Ding family, Jiangxi West Road removed Poyang Lake, and Ganjiang River was removed, how could there be any business.
And those promised by Fang La are even more empty words, the rebellion was successful, Fang La sat on the entire Jiangnan and naturally didn't care about that little bit of salt and profit, if the rebellion failed, Fang La would not pay anything at all.
So no matter what, Fang La is a white wolf with empty gloves, and just the little he paid was changed to a shipyard, so Fang La made a lot of money this time, and when he returned to Bangyuan Cave, Fang La said his thoughts, and was immediately admired by everyone.
Then Fang La suddenly proposed a new business, that is, selling weapons, this is also the trick that Fang La recently discovered by buying weapons frantically, Fang La found that although he felt very painful when he bought it, the price of the weapons that Ryukyu sold to himself was indeed cheaper than the market, and some were much cheaper.
And a large number of weapons are priceless, like many bandits and bandits still use bamboo guns and wooden spears, this is business, and strong bandits will soon be equivalent to making more allies for themselves.
And Fang La is a rebel, and naturally has friendships with many cottages in the south of the Yangtze River, and Fang La also has a channel for transporting illicit salt, which has a channel and a market, of course this business is done.
One thousand Ryukyu also had this business, and Manichaeism also did it, but at that time it was sold on a small scale, and the price of weapons in the Ryukyus was not so low, so the business never started.
Now it's different, Ryukyu since the end of the Yangzhou Campaign, suddenly the price of weapons has been greatly reduced, it is said that these are weapons in the army, I heard that Ryukyu won the Great Song Dynasty and let some soldiers retire and go home.
Fang La looks down on this kind of unambitious, proud and complacent behavior just after achieving a little achievement, at most, people are swords and guns into Kuma to put Nanshan, and Ryukyu does even better, soldiers go home, weapons are sold for money, Fang La knows that for the first time after looking down on Zhang San, after all, the market has been in the market for too long, how can there be any vision.
This is actually part of the reorganization of the Ryukyu military reform force, after the army was semi-firearmed, the original team of swordsmen, longbowmen, crossbowmen and crossbowmen were replaced with muskets, muskets and bayonets, so these knives, bows, crossbows, and so on had to be eliminated.
The archers of the Ryukyus are also equipped with knives, so the Ryukyus eliminated almost 100,000 waist knives this time, and the soldiers retired from the army in order to improve the reserve system, so some of them were discharged but more were recruited.
Of course, these Zhang San will not be publicized to the outside world, the outside world only knows that after Ryukyu won the war and became the Great Song Dynasty, it was immediately disarmed, and the weapons were sold and concentrated on doing business, which is also the reason why the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers did not send heavy troops to hoard the coast at the first time.
Since Zhang San of the Ryukyus didn't want to fight anymore, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers would not overstimulate him, so Fang La felt that the Jiangnan army was empty, so he had the opportunity to buy such a cheap weapon.
Of course, the price reduction of weapons is also Zhang San's intention, one is to make several forces can afford it, and the second is to add a way for them to make money so as to increase their strength.
At present, Fang La is the first to react, and after coming back, he began to plan and sell weapons, although the knives, guns, bows and arrows produced in the Ryukyus are not a magic weapon, but through continuous improvement and Zhang San from time to time think of a little knowledge of the application, the quality is still several percent better than ordinary swords.
Things are better than the Great Song Dynasty, and cheaper than the Great Song Dynasty, which immediately attracted a large number of customers for Fang La, and Fang La's weapons sales have just begun, and they immediately became popular, not only in various cottages are very popular but also many people have joined the purchase team of landlords around the country.
Even the Ding family bought a batch of such good weapons when they heard that Manichaeism could get them, and Fang La became the largest weapons wholesaler in Jiangnan, which was also the result of Zhang San's instructions.
At present, only Fang La can buy weapons from Ryukyu on a large scale in the whole Jiangnan, and this disguised franchise makes Fang La make a lot of money, and after Fang La's pockets bulge, he buys more weapons to arm his subordinates.
In the Gangyuan Cave, Fang La trained his subordinates with all his might, and the entire Jiangnan area was full of Manichaean believers, and for a time the entire Jiangnan fell into a kind of pathology, but the Great Song Dynasty did not know that Zhao Ji's behavior of searching for Huashigang was instigated by Zhang San several times.
