That night, Feng Youcai came to Xi'an again, and when he came to the hall from the guest room, Lu Buqiang and the others were still celebrating the harvest of the day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Youcai asked everyone to continue drinking, but don't drink high, and don't drink at night with the people on duty. Lu Buqian handed today's sales list to Feng Youcai, and said: "Young master, this Xi'an is worthy of being a metropolis, the sales volume of one day is more than double that of Yinchuan, and many big customers have booked, and people will be arranged to pick up the goods from the 1st to the 5th of each month in the future, and now there are 10 long-term customers." ”

"There's not much food in the warehouse, right?"

"I can hold on to one day tomorrow when I sell it saved."

"At what price is it executed today?"

"As long as they have military status, each household will sell them 200 catties of rice per month at a price of 1 tael and 2 yuan, and supply them with low-cost grain for 3 months every year; Those who do not have a military status certificate are sold at the price of 2 taels, 4 coins and 1 stone. ”

"What is the market price now?"

"The current market price is 2 taels of silver per stone, the price has to rise recently, but we are here, there will be no more price increases, now many places are in drought, there is no snow all winter, it is estimated that this year's grain production will have to be reduced, especially the winter wheat production is certain, many people want to wait for the price to rise."

"We still have to keep food prices stable, try not to fluctuate, and what we sell to military households can be regarded as our contribution to the country, so that we can also attract many long-term customers."

"Young master, this is secondary, we give preferential treatment to the soldiers, which is equivalent to paying protection money to the troops in disguise, who dare not come to make trouble, it is equivalent to having a protective umbrella invisibly."

"This is a surprise."

"Yes, young master, if anyone moves us, then let the soldiers of the army spend more money to buy food? On average, each family will save 6 taels of silver every year, which must be a very large sum of money, and even their leaders dare not provoke these people. ”

"Then I'll be relieved, but in this case, this warehouse will not be enough, so let's build another warehouse, right?"

"Don't use it for the time being, young master, I will set a delivery date for long-term customers, and then I will tell you the delivery date, you dare to come over during the delivery period every month, so that we can supply as much as they want, the grain store in the city is our propaganda point, the main transaction is still here, as for building a warehouse, or wait and see, how many goods can be sold every day after stabilization, let's build a warehouse according to this, and now this weather is not suitable for construction, we have to wait for 2 months."

"You don't have to think about the retail volume, the future sales will definitely be bigger and bigger, you still try to build a bigger one, just look at 2 months you can't see anything, Ningxia also has to consider building a warehouse, the current warehouses are too small, I go too often, if I have something to go to you will delay things, especially the Ningxia grain market is our main thing, if we are out of stock, the impact on the local area will be too great."

"Yes, young master, then let's start preparing."

"I originally planned to open a grain store in Zhangye, but now it seems that it is cost-effective to open a store in a big city."

"Yes, young master, the sales volume over there in Zhangye will definitely not go up, and it is not even as good as the sales in Ningxia, there is no one over there except the military households, and it is very dangerous, it is not cost-effective to go there to open a store."

"Then let's develop big cities first, I decided to open stores in at least Luoyang, Kaifeng and Linqing this year, and next year I will go to Tongzhou, Jinzhou, Huai'an and even Jinan to open stores."

"Yes, young master, Liu Gui told me yesterday, I'll send someone to inspect when I'm almost busy here, let's buy a house first."

"You can arrange this matter", Feng Youcai asked Zhan Hu again: "Can the existing personnel protect this house?" ”

"Young master, it's no problem, please rest assured."

"If the peasant rebels attack, how long will you be able to resist it?"

"Young master, if less than 10,000 people attack, it will be no problem to hold on for 1 day, but there is no stock of arrows and other weapons, and I am afraid it will not last long."

"And what about how many people attack?"

"Young master, no matter how many people attack, they can't be used, at most, they will take turns to fight, carry out fatigue tactics, or fill it with human lives, besides, we will not just be beaten and not fight back, the peasant rebel army has few cavalry, we have cavalry or heavy cavalry, if they attack urgently, our cavalry will go out to clean them up for a while, I believe they will be honest."

"Yes, very thoughtful." Feng Youcai continued: "How is the relief of the victims today? ”

Liu Wen said, "Young Master, as long as the people who have been relieved have been tested today, a total of 15 households in the first level and 63 households in the second level have been selected, compared with 8 households in the first level. ”

"The shopkeeper, the bookkeeper and the apprentice in the store stay here and hand it over to Minister Lu to be responsible for use and training, and the other personnel, by each first-class household, take 4 to 5 other households as a group, bring the grain, and rush to the thousand-household office to report by themselves, and the first-class household, as the team leader, only gives each person 13 days of food, that is, let them rush to the thousand-household office in 13 days, leave their hometown and other information, and are not afraid that they will run away."

"Yes, young master"

"Also, you can let it go, as long as you get to our thousands of households, you will have the opportunity to eat enough and attract a large number of displaced people to our territory."

"Yes, young master"

"In the future, we will only help those who are selected, and if they are not within this range, we will not help them, and those that are not good for us will only be considered our people when they are on our territory, and then we can be relieved."

"Yes, young master"

"Also, next year I want to control most of the grain market in the Ming Dynasty, including price and quantity, from Huai'an to Kaifeng to Linqing, Tongzhou and Jinzhou, we want to buy grain, and at the same time sell grain at a small profit, we just make a freight and control the entire market, in addition, if we supply grain to Jinzhou, we can also take salt to lead, this is also a big deal, when you are fine, take a good total."

"Yes, young master, I don't know what the young master's specific plans are?"

"Let me give you an example, let's buy it at the price of 1 tael and 5 yuan of silver in Huai'an, and sell it at the price of 1 tael and 6 yuan of silver in Huai'an; In Linqing, we buy at the price of 1 tael and 6 yuan of silver, sell it at the price of 1 tael and 7 yuan, and buy it at the price of 1 tael of 8 yuan of silver in Beijing, and sell it at the price of 2 taels of silver. ”

"Young master, if this is the case, we will be able to control the entire grain market in Jiangbei, and the role of the Grand Canal will also be reduced, and the military rations to Jinzhou will also be exclusively supplied by us, and we will have the final say on the salt introduction in the future."

"Yes, what I want is this effect, as long as the monopoly can make money, if anyone is not convinced, transport it to Tongzhou by itself, the price will definitely be higher than our price, they will definitely lose money, and the final price is that we have the final say, how much will the entire Jiangbei market be, much stronger than our small fight."

"The young master has a good plan."

"Let's not just make food, the next step is to do the salt business, you have time to sum it up, how should we make a move, so now start to cultivate the second shopkeeper, and after we set up the big central store, the branch will be operated by these two shopkeepers."

"Yes, young master"

Feng Youcai's bold and grand plan made everyone's blood boil.
