Chapter 178: Harming oneself and benefiting others
It has been more than ten days since the messenger passed the car to Zheng Guo to find the famous doctor Qin Yueren.
The time soon entered August, the weather was getting cooler day by day, and the fields around Xinjiang were harvested with corn sown in the spring.
This year's harvest is good, which is undoubtedly good news for the people of Xinjiang who have been involved in the wheat flour dispute. Because a large amount of fresh corn entered the corn market, the grain price, which had risen due to the large sales of Zhao's wheat flour, was able to fall.
Grain is cheap, it hurts farmers, grain is expensive, and corn prices are kept within a stable range, which is the top priority of a country.
At this time in previous years, all Qing clans would buy corn at a low price to replenish their warehouses in case of disasters or wars. However, this year, the Zhao family did not need to do it deliberately, they only needed to put a large amount of wheat flour in the Su market, and the cart of grain was naturally delivered to the door by itself.
In the past ten days, the wheat flour alone has made Zhao a lot of money. Although the price of ordinary wheat flour has dropped by half, the number of people who buy it has increased a lot, so the income is still more than 100,000 stones.
And Fan's businessmen were squeezed out of this emerging industry without any suspense.
Naturally, they would not be reconciled, Fan Ying and Fan Ji were not in Xinjiang, so Fan Jia, who was in charge of the family, and the family master decided to launch ♀ a counterattack after summing up, and also followed the price reduction. But their continuous price reductions did not have any effect, because after the initial competition and advertising effect, the wheat flour market in Sushi, whether it was high-level or middle-level, was basically occupied by Zhao.
According to Gong's estimates, the "market share" is about eighty percent. The remaining two percent were strictly ordered by Fan. It is required to produce and sell the Fan Thi Shi Dafu Chinese.
Fan Jia is not an ordinary person, he saw that his own counterattack did not work. He launched a dying throbe that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself.
They actually gathered the people of the country in the Su market and made the stone grinding technology public!
Moreover, Fan's craftsman workshop also gave some hand-pushed mills to the Bank of China, beguiling them to grind wheat flour by themselves, and after Zhao learned the news, he also took the lead and passed this technology to the Han family, who was good friends, and the Wei family, who was fighting.
This is still the suggestion of Zhao Wuxian and Gong. According to the Fan's play, even if the Zhao family deliberately conceals this thing, it will not be delayed for a month. Sharing the interests with allies is the right thing to do, and sticking to it seems to be smaller.
Because, just relying on wheat flour, a month, you can put hundreds of thousands of stone corn into the warehouse. When it is full, it is just the annual harvest of a thousand rooms.
How many thousand rooms does the Zhao family have? Near!
Therefore, in the spring and autumn period, when the commercial economy was just emerging, the cultivation of goods could only be used as an auxiliary to farming.
As the head of the family. You can't be dazzled by the small profits in front of you, and you can't put the cart before the horse. The fundamental purpose of Zhao's move was to boost the economy of Zhao's territory. At the same time, it is tied up with allies.
So, under the wrestling of all parties. The price of wheat flour continued to fall, until it fell to the point of exchanging a bucket for a stone of corn. However, what made Fan want to cry without tears was that. Zhao's situation of occupying the majority of the market has not only not eased, but has intensified.
They couldn't figure it out, but after Gong and Ji Qiao studied it all night, they calculated an account for Zhao Wuxian.
Gong Pao pulled the abacus, stretched out a finger and said: "Originally, a bucket of wheat flour sold stone corn, and in Xinjiang and its surroundings, the number of scholars and scholars who can buy food is only more than 1,000. ”
Zhao Wuxian bowed his head, initially, wheat flour was indeed sold as a luxury, and those who could afford it were all upper-class.
"Nowadays, the price of wheat flour has fallen to the low price of one bucket for ten buckets, but the number of households purchased is close to 5,000! Moreover, what Fan and Zhao leaked was only a small hand-pushed grinding technology, a large mill, even if others knew about it, it would take a long time to build it. ”
Ji Qiao also stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What's more, in addition to Jun's Chengxiang, who still has tens of thousands of stones of wheat for grinding?" Zhuqing didn't mainly plant wheat, but now it has long been exhausted, and there are not many palaces left, and the raw materials these days are still purchased from the countrymen's homes and shipped over. ”
Zhao Wuxian suddenly said, "Therefore, after Fan's trouble, Zhao's wheat flour sales have expanded, and the profits earned have not decreased, this Fan's is really doing a great thing." ”
However, these fluctuations did not affect Chengxiang in the slightest, because most of the wheat flour business, and even the wheat in the treasury, had been transferred to the lower palace. Chengxiang only produced for its own needs, and the economic center of the whole township began to specialize in making porcelain.
And the shirt said, porcelain, only money silk and gold!
As a result, Gebu linen silk and even Lu Min; The empty first coins of the Jin Kingdom, the sword coins of Qi, and the gold of Chu came one after another. Under the means of tribute, the porcelain business has expanded to the whole city of Xinjiang, and has become the object of enthusiasm among scholars and doctors after wheat flour, and the supply exceeds the demand.
And Zhao Wuxian also spotted the biggest demand for high-grade porcelain, Qiqi Palace!
Although he was given the palace entry charm by the Marquis of Jin, he could enter and leave the Qiqi Palace at will, but he also knew the proportions, so he went in every half a decade to hang around and brush his sense of existence in front of the Marquis of Jin. Every time, he would show something new to please the Marquis of Jin.
For the first time, it was said that the method of leather and juju, the entertainment items in the Spring and Autumn Period were pitiful, and Lu Zhuanggong, as the king of a country, could be so bored that he ran to Qi to watch the township society. And some of the dwarfs raised in the Qi Palace, doing a clumsy and boring performance in Zhao Wuxian's opinion, can actually amuse the Marquis of Jin.
It's also a little interesting for the slender dancer to dance with long sleeves and ancient drum music, but if you see too much, you will get tired.
So, when the two teams of palace guards took off their armor and kicked the juju half-baked in the palace school field under the demonstration of Zhao Wuxian, just like when Zhao Guangde first saw this situation in Chengxiang, the young Marquis of Jin was immediately attracted.
After a morning of drills, the palace guards were addicted to playing, and their kicks gradually improved, and they were more ornamental.
The Marquis of Jin sometimes couldn't help it, and he also changed into hunting clothes and went out to play, but the palace armor didn't dare to compete with him. Marquis Wu of Jin inherited the Duke of Jin's time to repay him, but he did not inherit the tolerance of Duke Jin Mourning, where did the palace guards dare to come with him.
So after coming and going, Jin Hou felt bored, so he sat back on the stage and watched.
"Shoot, shoot! Ah! It's really stupid, if you miss the opportunity, you will be fined this month's money! ”
Although, this high-powered audience is also very noisy.
When he entered the palace for the second time, Zhao Wuxian presented porcelain specially customized for the monarch:
Seven tripods and six important weapons of the country! (To be continued......)
