Zhu Changyuan hasn't said it yet, and many of the huge riches next to him have already guessed that it definitely has something to do with food.
Zhu Changyuan didn't care what they thought, he directly opened his price and said, "If you are willing, you will sell all the stock in your hands, and you are willing to buy it at twice the market price, and pay for it all with banknotes!" ”
Twice the market price was tempting enough, and now that he was paying all in banknotes, it made the merchants' blood boil even more. You must know that during this period of time, such as Wang Ranming and others, although they opened new shops on Sun Moon Island, they also transported a large number of materials to sell to the residents of the island.
However, the money they earned from the islanders was limited, so to speak, extremely limited, and sometimes they were very depressed when they could not buy half a boatload of goods for a month.
Now, since Zhu Changyuan threw out such a big bait, they were naturally willing.
The only trouble in the sale of grain is transshipment!
"Good!" Wang Ranming was the first to make a statement.
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, don't be in such a hurry to agree, I will offer you this price, and naturally there are additional conditions." And my additional condition is that you need to transport the grain and rice to the designated ports along the Yangtze River! ”
This condition is a must, otherwise, there are many businessmen here, all over the world, and everyone's food is in different places, so let Zhu Changyuan go to collect them one by one, and he will not be able to play the task of systematic explanation until he dies.
"This?" Wang Ranming hesitated slightly.
His home is in Huizhou, which is quite close to the Yangtze River, so it is convenient to transport grain, but even so, the cost of transporting grain and rice from his hometown to the Yangtze River alone will cost him 20% of the price of rice. This is still not the case of bandits.
If you encounter a strong bandit, everything will be broken.
However, since it is profitable. There is no reason for him not to agree, as for the danger. Hehe, there is no smooth sailing in business, and everything needs to be risky.
"Good!" Wang Ranming was the first to say: "I promise!" ”
"The old man is also willing to provide convenience for the general!" Gu Changzuo also stood up and made a statement.
It stands to reason that he doesn't need to do this, because he doesn't need banknotes to buy goods from Sun Moon Island, which is also his preferential point, but as Zhu Changyuan's first partner, he has benefited a lot from Sun Moon Island. He also had to show his support.
You must know that in the past six months, although other merchants have also purchased goods from Sun Moon Island, due to the restriction of banknotes, the business has been very small, and everyone together is not as good as his Yicheng, so he has almost made a lot of money in the past half a year, and it is nothing to give Zhu Changyuan a little blood.
The key is that when he saw the introduction of Zhu Changyuan's new policy, he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Maybe starting today. His hegemony business is over, if he doesn't take the opportunity to curry favor with his owner, the future will be over. I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
Another convenience is that Gu Changzuo's hometown is in Shanghai, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is extremely easy to collect grain in his hometown and transport it to the Yangtze River wharf, which is much more convenient than Wang Ranming. But as far as this sound is concerned, there is a profit, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
Fujian businessmen also agreed, although Fujian is not close to the Yangtze River, but Fujian is close to the sea. It is completely possible to transport grain close to the sea and bypass the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then resell it to Zhu Changyuan.
Merchants from Guangdong and Guangxi also agreed. However, instead of transporting grain from their hometowns, they collected it from along the Yangtze River.
Not to mention the merchants of the land of lakes. They are also very convenient.
Zhu Changyuan looked at them nodding one by one, smiled involuntarily, and said: "Okay, since you are all willing, then let's sign the agreement and delivery address, as well as the delivery amount, I will send someone to pick it up when it expires, as for the banknotes, General Ben can pay part of them in advance according to your reputation!" ”
That's the perk.
Since others can help their own help, and they are not stingy, the key is that although they are promised to pay in advance, it is only a part of the deposit, and there is not much money.
++++++++++
The food that these merchants can raise for him is also limited, and it is impossible to meet all the needs, if they do, they have to find a way from Xiangyang City, and if they can't, let Xiong Wencan and Li Xin start from the entire Huguang.
That's an afterthought, for now, there's one thing that has to be done!
Expedition!
Just now, Sun Er came to him in a daze and explained the mood of the soldiers one by one, Zhu Changyuan laughed when he heard it, and felt proud of the success of his mobilization strategy.
"Good!" With a wave of his hand, he said: "Since the brothers are in need, this is also my dream, you go and gather them all, I will hold a meeting for them, and bless them by the way!" ”
Hearing about the blessing, Sun Er was stunned and overjoyed, and hurriedly went over to lead the 600 people who had been selected a long time ago to a square, and called Geng Zhongming to accept Zhu Changyuan's blessing.
Seeing the six hundred soldiers standing neatly in front of him one by one, Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, and opened the system in broad daylight, and he was not afraid, because this system was out of him, and no one else could see it.
Habitually glanced at the balance on the interface in the system first, and I was shocked when I didn't know if I didn't look at it, and now there are more than 140 million contribution points.
I remember that last time I cultivated two million enemies in Baoding Mansion, Hebei Province, I directly spent 18 million contribution points at that time, and there were almost 130 million left.
It seems that it should be the income brought to me by the hospital in Jingshi, hehe, this hospital is really not open in vain, in addition to bringing a lot of property income and huge prestige, it can also secretly increase the contribution value, it's good! Wai Rui Good!
Zhu Changyuan was obsessed with it in his heart, and then quickly clicked on the sub-item of the system, purchased a full six hundred basic combat skill books, and gave one to each of the soldiers below, generally transforming the combat effectiveness of the people below.
After the transformation of the skill book, these people not only improved their physical fitness, but also brightened their brains, and their reaction ability on the battlefield was also faster by more than one grade.
After the transformation of the soldiers, they began to take charge.
There is no way, Sun Er was stunned and followed all the way from the Daling River, and he worked extra for the island on weekdays, and there was no merit and hard work, so it was not too much to give him a 10,000-strong enemy.
After all, Yan Hong is serious and responsible under him, and Sun Er is his brother, and he can't be treated too badly if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
Therefore, Zhu Changyuan exchanged ten copies from the system in one go, slapped Sun Er's stunned head in one go, and said: "Erleng has been with me for a long time, this can be regarded as the reward you gave by this general, lead the troops on an expedition, don't forget the brothers on Sun Moon Island." ”
"In case of trouble, it is necessary for Mr. Geng to discuss, and the purpose of this attack on Fusang is to test and harass so as to explore the way for a large-scale attack in the future.
"Yes, Marquis!"
Sun Er knelt down on one knee and made a big salute to Zhu Changyuan!
Prince?
Zhu Changyuan was slightly stunned, and then understood, it seems that there is no impermeable wall in the world, paper can't hold the fire, and the matter of being a marquis is still spread to Sun Moon Island.
In fact, it is not surprising that when discussing with those businessmen in the morning, the Guangdong businessmen were all over the world, and they actually learned the news in advance and revealed it at the meeting, and Zhu Changning and Yan Hong were next to them at that time.
Thinking of this, Zhu Changyuan also easily accepted this title, helped Sun Er up stunned, and said, "Get up!" He said to Geng Zhongming beside him: "Mr. Geng is well versed in naval warfare, and this expedition to attack Fusang depends on Mr. ”
"Please rest assured!" Geng Zhongming, dressed in military uniform, gave a military salute to Zhu Changyuan, and said: "My subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the prince and the marquis on this trip!" ”
"That's good!" Zhu Changyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, sighed, and said: "I have neglected Mr. Geng during this time, don't go to my heart, I am also afraid that the brothers on the island will not be convinced, so I will be snubbed, Mr. rest assured, there will be a reward for returning from this expedition!" ”
Geng Zhongming, this guy, first judged the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and now sentenced the Qing Dynasty to surrender himself, it seems that he has no discipline, but if you think about it carefully, the possibility of this thing betraying Sun Moon Island again is not very large, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were offended by him, he has no place in China at all, and he has to learn from Zhu Changyuan.
Moreover, this goods are all in their own hands, and they can't be reversed.
"The subordinates understand the general's hard work!" Geng Zhongming said.
It's good to understand!
Zhu Changyuan originally wanted to send the six hundred sets of armor in the system to these six hundred soldiers, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, one is inconvenient to transport horses by sea, since there are no horses, soldiers with plate armor cannot fight at all.
He also knew that there would be some damage when he went out to fight in this situation, but there was no way, nothing was perfect.
Everything was ready to stop, and he spoke an impassioned word to all the soldiers, but it was actually nonsense. Zhu Changyuan believes that even if he doesn't talk about it, those soldiers are already impassioned enough, just look at their appearances one by one, they can't hold their hearts!
Two large ships sailed out of the sea on the same day, loaded with 600 soldiers and two generals, Sun Ershu and Geng Zhongming, all the way south along the peninsula until the southernmost point, and then turned east along the coastal sea, almost a thousand miles away, is the southernmost island of Japan: Kyushu.
Starting from Sun Moon Island to Kyushu Island, almost all the way in the middle is along the mainland, but it is only in the last part of the journey that the sea where no land can be seen, and the full name is about 2,000 miles.
However, with the engine and gasoline brought by Zhu Changyuan from modern society, these journeys are nothing, roughly calculated, from departure to destination, one week is enough.
This time, I not only brought a lot of food, but also a few motorboats and dozens of gasoline saws, just in case! (To be continued.) )
