In Ren Siqi's view, since the current batch of sellers are unwilling to accept the price of canned food, they will change to other sellers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A can of canned fish and meat, the purchase price is 30 yuan, the price is 50 yuan, which is enough profit margin of 20 yuan, he doesn't believe that no one does it.

So Ren Siqi sent sales staff to Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Suzhou to find new sellers.

Canned fish sells very well among the people, and of course there are businessmen who are willing to do this business. Many small businessmen happily came to Daishan to buy goods. The original sellers who were stranded on Daishan Island watched coldly at the new sellers coming, and sneered one by one.

Boatloads of cans were taken away again, and the canneries were back in operation. As for the original sellers who are bored and can only leave gloomily, who is willing to take care of them again.

However, the good times did not last long, and within a few days, the canned food in the dock yard was piled up more and more, and there were fewer and fewer sellers who came to Daishan to buy goods.

It must be the original sellers who did a good job! Without waiting for Ren Siqi to send someone out to inquire, the news kept coming back from all over the place.

The original sellers were not willing to be robbed of their business and began their actions. The shops with shallow backgrounds of new sellers were smashed one after another, and groups of scoundrels rushed into their stores, and it was useless to report to the officials, and the government stood behind the original sellers.

If the new seller has a deep background, the original seller will not do too much, but it will also come to negotiate, or coercion or inducement, plus a series of interest exchanges. In short, no businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dared to sell canned fish from Daishan.

"Good, good!" In the official hall, Ren Siqi sat in the hall and couldn't help sneering. Chen Zhong stood silently beside him. He had already reminded Ren Siqi not to offend these businessmen. These businessmen all have gentry backgrounds, their families all have Jinshi Hanlin, and they all have people who are officials in the court, and Ren Siqi's identity as an inspector of the Daishan Inspection Department and a guerrilla in coastal defense is not in their eyes.

"Do you want to force me to bow my head? Don't even think about it. Ren Siqi said coldly: "Since the business here in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can't be done, let's jump out of here and go to Fujian and Nanjing." Our canning factory only produces more than 10,000 cans of canned food every day, and Daming is so big, I don't believe that it can't be sold! ”

"My lord, don't be rash!" Chen Zhong finally couldn't help it and reminded: "Business has always been like this, and there is nothing to be ashamed of when we bow our heads." Nanjing, Fujian Province is too far away from Daishan, so the cost of transportation is not small. ”

Listening to Chen Zhong's words, Ren Siqi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Daishan has a lot of things now, and there is really no need to fight with these businessmen. Transporting canned food to Nanjing, Fujian Province, is not feasible due to the distance, and the canning factory is related to the livelihood of thousands of workers and tens of thousands of fishermen on dozens of surrounding islands.

"You go and contact the original sellers and tell them that the price can be renegotiated." Ren Siqi instructed Chen Zhongdao: "However, the wholesale price must rise, and the original price of fifteen wen will definitely not work." As for how much it will rise, you can negotiate with them. ”

Chen Zhong said yes and turned to go. Leaving Siqi alone, he walked around the official hall depressedly.

Chen Zhong's actions were very fast, and after a few days of hard work, he negotiated with the original seller, and the wholesale price of canned food rose from 15 to 20 wen.

Soon sailing ships came to Daishan from the mainland, and the number of cans piled up in the dock yard decreased dramatically.

Although in the eyes of Chen Zhong and others, this result was already good, but Ren Siqi felt deeply humiliated.

On the mainland, the gentry are intertwined, and their power is really huge, and the strength of the Daishan Inspection Division cannot be shaken at all, and of course, people don't look at the small Daishan Inspection Division at all. Raising the purchase price of canned food a little is purely to give Ren Siqi, a coastal defense guerrilla, a little face.

In the canning business, Ren Siqi lost a game, he was not reconciled, and decided to get it back in other aspects.

Now that summer is coming, the southeast monsoon is about to rise, and it is time to trade with Japan. The big clans and gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as long as they have power, will send ships to Japan for maritime trade.

A sea ship of raw silk, transported to Japan is a profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Compared with the sea trade, the business of canned fish cannot be smaller.

Since you dare to touch my cheese, don't blame me for starting your maritime business! Ren Siqi thought viciously.

Daishan is located outside Hangzhou Bay, and most of the sea ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Japan pass through the nearby waters. As long as Ren Siqi thinks about it, he can completely block the entire coastal area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and not let any sea ship go to sea.

Of course, this move would offend the gentry to death, but Ren Siqi didn't care at all. As long as they have a powerful fleet and a large number of soldiers, these gentry have no way to take care of themselves.

Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, but now he is in high position as a general soldier, and all sea ships that go to sea have to pay him three thousand taels of silver to buy the road, and I don't see that gentry dare not pay this silver!

As long as the strength is there, there is nothing to fear. And now, Ren Siqi has decided to show off his muscles.

With Ren Siqi's order, small boats sailed towards the islands and recalled the sailors stationed on the islands.

After receiving the order, the generals of the naval forces stationed on Sijiao Mountain, Lantau Island, Xiushan, and Jintang Island, Mao Shiba, Xue Yulai, Ren Qiuli, Sima Nan, and Olier began to gather newly trained archers, and all of them got on the big and small sailing boats and returned to Daishan.

In addition to the original ten three-masted galleons, seven or eight two-masted galleons, and more than 20 sloops, the Daishan Water Army captured many pirate ships in the Battle of Sijiao Mountain and the Battle of Zhoushan, and purchased sailing ships on a large scale during this time. At present, although the Daishan Naval Army does not have too many three-masted ships, only sixteen, there are not too many two-masted sailing ships and dhows. The number of ships that could be used for combat was already more than a hundred.

In Gaoting Harbor, hundreds of ships gathered, masts towered, and white sails were like clouds in the sky.

Mao Eighteen, Sima Nan, Olier and other naval generals went to the dock and stood quietly beside Ren Siqi.

Bundles of military uniforms were transported to the docks in the cargo hold of the clothing factory, and were sent by small boats to the various warships. The archers, who were fishermen, shed their tattered clothes and put on new uniforms, and from then on they became official soldiers, officers and soldiers of the coastal defense guerrilla subordinates.

A red mandarin duck jacket, cyan pants, and a hat with red tassels. After the costume change, the archers were in good spirits and their whole appearance was completely renewed. Touching the brand-new military uniforms, they were all excited, how could they wear such good clothes when they were in tattered clothes on weekdays.

On May 27, the 17th year of Chongzhen, the new naval army of the Daishan Inspection Division was formally established, with 100 warships and 10,000 soldiers. On the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is the most powerful fleet! (To be continued.) )
