"Shopkeeper Liu, Western gas lamp, wait for the ship to arrive in a few days, I asked the little ones to send it to you, there are some white cotton cloth and sugar on the ship, I don't know how much it costs?" Gao Hongsheng asked inquiringly.

Shopkeeper Liu heard Gao Hongsheng say that there were still white cotton cloth and sugar, and he immediately came to Jingshen.

Pocket watches and gas lamps are two things, looking at the profits, but the sales are really a problem, that is, these are now collected at low prices, and they must be transported to Tianjin and the capital to sell a part of them, otherwise they can't eat so many goods with Jinan Mansion alone.

But the sales of cotton cloth and sugar are large, and if this business is negotiated, the profit is not small.

"The price of muslin on the market is two meters and an eagle (in order to make it easier to calculate prices in the future, it is according to the current calculation method, otherwise you can faint, for example, the cloth is not calculated according to the meter, but according to the yard to calculate, and it is also according to the horse to carry out large transactions, a horse is about 14.58 yards, and the yard is imperial, a yard is about 0.9144 meters. And the cloth that can be brought over in modern times is all rolled up, divided into 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters, etc., if you don't faint, I will faint, not to mention the problem of size. That's a real headache for you)"

"The price of sugar is about three eagles with one stone. I don't know if your quantity is large, if the quantity is large, our price is negotiable. ”

Shopkeeper Liu finished quoting the price and looked at Gao Hongsheng's face carefully.

The price of cotton cloth is not bad, but is the price of sugar wrong, why is it so low?

The weight of a stone in the Qing Dynasty was about twenty-eight kilograms, which was converted to 0.05 eagles per catty of sugar. An eagle contains only more than 25 grams of silver, which is less than 110 yuan, and it is only five yuan a catty. Damn, I basically don't make money!

White sugar is only a pound more, that is, about three yuan, so it doesn't make money, then your white cloth is not even more unprofitable, two meters is only an eagle ocean, one meter is only fifty yuan, not to earn less.

Big brothers and sisters! It can't be counted like that! The width of the cloth in this era is more than one meter, and the width of the cloth you buy from the old man is more than one point eight meters, besides, the price is not so expensive, and the best wholesale price of one meter is less than thirty. Can Gao Hongsheng bring the best over? More than 20 yuan, two meters and four white cloths are enough.

You know, it's 60 or 80 high-end goods, not 21, 32, or 40 of the rags here, it's a really high-end product. jing woven cotton.

The best top-quality cotton cloth in England at this time has only just reached thirty-two.

Forty branches, hehe, they can reach it, it is against the sky, but compared with sixty and eighty branches, it is the same as homespun cloth.

Well, it can also be said that that product of theirs is canvas. Hey.

The generation difference in technology is the generation difference in price. Now Gao Hongsheng uses the technology of the 21st century to compare the technology of the 19th century, how many years is it worse than what you said, and how many generations is the product worse?

The most important thing is that China is a big textile country, and the slag that leaks out is enough for Gao Hongsheng.

Other products, does Gao Hongsheng dare to mess around?

Grain, do you dare? If there are a few hundred tons less, no one cares about you if there are tens of thousands of tons, and if there are tens of thousands of tons, you see if anyone checks you.

It's Made's broken salt, if you pour tens of thousands of tons, someone will immediately come to check you, believe it or not.

Steel, glass, cement are China's big items, it's no problem to pour a little bit, other things are better to be careful, especially grain, a small amount is better, 100,000 tons to be careful.

"So shopkeeper Liu, what is the price of rice and white noodles?" Gao Hongsheng saw that the price of white cotton cloth was good, so he wanted to see how the price of grain here was.

"The high shopkeeper, our store does not distribute rice and white noodles, but the price, to know a little. The price of rice and white flour is about 6 Yingyang, and they can buy a large number of Zhangjia rice shops opposite. Shopkeeper Liu kindly introduced.

Gao Hongsheng took a breath secretly, Made's food is so profitable in this era! One stone of rice costs six eagles, a piece of eagle is one hundred and ten yuan, nearly seven hundred yuan to buy more than 50 catties of rice, how much is that catty, about ten yuan.

Damn, I don't have any rice and white flour to make money!

A good Northeast rice is more expensive.

It's good to get long-grain incense in this era, and the best thing is Wuchang rice, but it's three yuan and five pounds.

In this way, one stone of rice, less than 200, sells for nearly 700 yuan, isn't this too profitable?

That's a lot of food! Let's get tens of thousands of tons, spread out and buy it, it should be fine.

It seems that there is nothing to do when private individuals pour tens of thousands of tons of grain a year.

One stone of rice is counted as five yuan of eagle ocean, and one ton of rice is about thirty-five stones, then it is one hundred and seventy-five yuan, and one hundred and fifty yuan is counted less.

10,000 tons, that is, less than 400 acres of land. At this time, Kemad was 1.5 million eagles. Grain is so profitable, it's just robbery!

I didn't do anything, I poured some food, and one trip was more than 15 million yuan. Did I bother organizing so many goods?

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Gao Hongsheng's face and began to change his face and became a little worried, could it be that the price of grain was wrong?

No, it won't! The day before yesterday, the shopkeeper told him about the price, and said that the price of grain might rise.

Because since the Yellow River left Shandong, this is almost every year, and the grain output has been greatly reduced, is the Yellow River not decided this year?

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Liu asked carefully: "Shopkeeper Gao, is there any news, from the Yellow River?" ”

Gao Hongsheng turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Liu, stretched out his hand to pick up the gaiwan on the small table, and used the gaiwan lid to swing the tea leaves floating in the teacup to the side, gently blew into the teacup, and took a sip and said: "Good tea, Longjing in West Lake." Ay! Now we have to stock up on more goods, otherwise the waterway will be cut off, and it will be difficult to get into this goods. You said it wasn't the shopkeeper Liu. ”

Hearing Gao Hongsheng say this, the shopkeeper Liu's face changed, and then he immediately recovered, and said with a smile on his face: "Since the shopkeeper Gao likes it, I will wrap you with two catties." Oh, yes! As soon as the waterway is cut off, we merchants will suffer. It's to stock up on more goods. ”

Gao Hongsheng lowered his head and didn't answer, but at the place where he wanted to tell them if he didn't sù, what would happen if he did.

This thing is really difficult, don't sue sù, your conscience can't get by, sue sù, don't you become a god, what should I do in the future? This is probably the annoyance of every traverser.

Seeing that Gao Hongsheng bowed his head and was silent, he was stunned there with a teacup, and immediately understood, it is estimated that Gao Hongsheng may have news, but he is not familiar with himself, so it is inconvenient to inform, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, change tea for the shopkeeper Gao." ”

A young man outside the door immediately ran in and took out the teacup that Gao Hongsheng had put on the small table after hearing the shouting of the shopkeeper Liu.

Gao Hongsheng sighed softly and said, "The Yellow River embankment in Licheng County is not very reliable!" I also saw it when I was passing by on a boat. ”

When the shopkeeper Liu heard Gao Hongsheng say that it was the Yellow River embankment in Licheng County, he was frightened and immediately stood up and shouted: "Shopkeeper Gao, don't scare me, this Licheng is less than 100 miles away from Jinan Mansion." ”

Gao Hongsheng didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the door.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't understand there, so he immediately trotted to the door and said, "Go and get busy, you don't have to wait here." With that, he turned and went into the house, and closed the two doors.

turned around and ran to Gao Hongsheng, bowed to the end and said: "Gao shopkeeper, my family will listen to your words, my ancestral house is on the edge of Licheng." You give me a detailed explanation, I can't thank you enough."

Gao Hongsheng hurriedly got up and pulled the shopkeeper Liu to the chair and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." I'll tell you more about it. ”

"I studied water conservancy in Xiyi for a period of time, this time I went to Jinan Mansion just from the Yellow River by boat, this year's peach blossom flood is relatively large, and the embankment in Licheng may not be able to resist, if you have family on the side, it is best to take precautions. One family talks, and there are countless things to do. After Gao Hongsheng finished speaking, he excused himself again.

Shopkeeper Liu's now has also begun to gather, and the words of the shopkeeper Gao are very clear, people are just making a boat, and they find that the embankment in Licheng is not strong, whether this is believe or not.

But dare you not believe it? It was the Yellow River, not a small ditch, and if it really broke the embankment, it would be an ocean.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and hugged Gao Hongsheng's wrists with both hands, and said with a deep salute: "Regardless of whether what the shopkeeper said is true or not, the old man has thanked him here, and I will send someone to take the family to Jinan Mansion." ”

Gao Hongsheng didn't even raise his buttocks, raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper Liu: "Don't worry, it's not so fast, it's June, I'm talking about June in the Western calendar." The water isn't that big at the moment. ”

Shopkeeper Liu was stupid immediately, it seems to be true, people tell you clearly the time of the embankment, can it be true?
