In the past few days, more and more people have passed through Xuzhou to Diqiu.

In addition to the locals who went to Diqiu to see the "cement road" as in the past, the businessmen who came from other places to buy cement and iron, and a group of high-rollers from Beijing.

These people were not only generous, but also had a large entourage, although they did not stay in Pengcheng for long, but they also brought a wisp of wealth to Pengcheng in the embers after the catastrophe.

"In the past, I thought that we people were rich, but today I know that compared with the real rich people in Jingshi, we are not worth mentioning."

On the dock in Diqiu Town, Shen Fatzi, who was smiling so hard that the muscles on his face stiffened, complained to Meng Guang.

These high-rollers from Beijing have a common characteristic, that is, they all look at people with their nostrils, and they use silver and gold bills to reward them, and they regard Shen Fatzi and Meng Guang as local buns in the countryside.

"Tsk, but look at these people, as soon as they heard that we were sent by the Yanai to greet them, what kind of attitude did they suddenly have!" Meng Guang said with a smile.

To these high-rollers, the two masters of Li Guojian are just pawns of the doormen, but the Yingfu sent by Zhou Quan is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with them. These guys with eyes on their foreheads and special nostrils to look at people, their demeanor changed so quickly that Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi sighed to themselves.

"Someone again...... Hey, it's our Mu Bantou! ”

Seeing Mu Qi, Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi glanced at each other, both with a hint of contempt.

This person has no backbone, and he has no skills, if he doesn't act at the opportunity, I'm afraid that he won't fall into Zhou Quan's eyes at all.

Seeing that the two of them were here, Mu Qi trotted over: "The two of them are really interested, what about watching the boat here?" ”

"Who said to watch the boat, watch the people, on the order of the Yanei, here to welcome the high-rollers from the Jingshi, but you, not in Pengcheng to wait for the good Taishou master, what are you doing in our small place?"

"Alas, my God, I'd rather be a pawn here than wait for that Taishou...... Do you know what he did? ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Meng and Shen asked curiously.

Mu Qi looked left and right and lowered his voice: "He extended more than 2,000 copies of the Yellow Mansion Monument, and then smashed the original monument, and now he is selling it at a high price to the high-rollers from Jingshi." I heard that Master Su's inscription rubbing, in Beijing, can be sold for 100 yuan, and these 2,000 copies are 200,000 yuan...... The ability to make money is only missing from the ya. ”

Meng Guang and Shen Fatzi were dumbfounded when they heard this, they knew that officials were greedy for money and profit, but they never thought that there were officials who were more calculating than businessmen like them and knew how to get rich.

The two sighed to themselves.

"Don't say that we are Yanei, but I'm afraid that I can't sigh to myself, Yanai always says, everything must be a long stream, not exhaustive and fishing, this is good, he is not exhausted, but simply filled up the river!"

Everyone ate and laughed, and Mu Qi also laughed for a while, and then asked: "Where is Yanei now, then Miao Zhong sent me here to see what Yanei invited Jingshi Hawkers to do, and I have to report this matter to Yanei." ”

Zhou Quan was naturally in Longchuan, and he was talking with someone at this time.

He had seen all the high-rollers from Jingshi, but it was Qin Zi who accompanied him alone.

"Yin Xiang said, since you asked him if he wanted to make more and bigger money, he must have some certainty, so he asked me to come here, and brought 20,000 copper coins with the ship - don't look at me, I don't want to run around the canal with tens of thousands of catties of copper, but now there is less gold and silver in Beijing, and it is unbearable to use, so you can only bring copper coins, unless you are willing to accept the banknotes!" Qin Zi said with a smile.

"You can't collect that thing, but the money is not enough, it's a nerve-wracking thing, and Taishi Cai won't think about making a big money of ten cents again, right?" Zhou Quan was taken aback.

The Great Song Dynasty now has developed commerce, especially in Beijing, which gathers wealth from all directions, but because of the shortage of copper, there is a shortage of copper coins, which is not enough to cope with such a developed commodity economy. In addition, in the foreign trade of the Great Song Dynasty, the high-quality and popular copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty were the hard currency that the surrounding countries rushed to collect, and a large number of copper coins flowed out. These two reasons made the amount of money issued by the Great Song Dynasty completely unable to meet the needs of economic operation.

And Cai Jing also wanted to accumulate wealth by changing the monetary policy, so he once issued a large amount of money that was worth ten yuan, and the economy of the entire Great Song Dynasty was seriously turbulent.

If Cai Jing wants to promote big money again, the impact on Zhou Quan will never be small.

"Not for the time being, there is nothing to sell in Liao, and copper has also been sold to my Great Song Dynasty, but it is not without a small supplement...... Zhou Lang, your strategy for the city really worked. Qin Zi laughed.

The two chatted about what happened in the Jingshi, and Qin Zi asked again, "What kind of fame are you making this time?" ”

"Don't worry, this matter will not make Liang Gong suffer, you just wait!" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

This was two days, and two days later, Qin Zi was invited from his apartment and taken directly to Longchuan Beiye.

In fact, in the past two days, Qin Zi has come to Longchuan Biye more than once to see it, but every time he comes, he has different feelings.

He also saw that among the people who came, in addition to the cronies sent by the wealthy merchants in Beijing, there were also many people like him, the disciples of a certain powerful person in Beijing. For example, Yang Jian, Tong Guan, He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong, Gao Yu, etc. all sent people. Although Cai Jing did not send people directly, the Yao family in the 36th Metallurgical Group of Li Guojian is inextricably linked with the Cai family, and he thinks that he can represent the Cai family to a certain extent.

"Zhou Quan, what kind of name do you want to do, ...... Summoned so many people, the point is, he was able to summon so many people! ”

Seeing that there were about thirty people sitting in this hall, almost half of the representatives of the powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Beijing Division, Qin Zi was quite impressed in his heart. Even Liang Shicheng probably doesn't have such an appeal, just a letter, asking if he is willing to make a fortune together, so many people are gathered.

was thinking about it, but saw Zhou Fu walking over with a smile.

Everyone stepped forward to salute, but Zhou Fu was a little sad in his heart, because everyone was not because of him, the governor of the country, but because he was Zhou Yanei's father.

Well, my son has accomplishments, and it's really gratifying, but it's a little more stressful.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has come, and you will come with me."

Today is a critical day for the Zhou family, so Zhou Fu came to help his son and specially recruited these guests.

Introduce everyone into the large canteen of Longchuan Beiye, which can accommodate 500 people at the same time, which can be regarded as a landmark building in Beiye now. When everyone entered, they didn't feel gloomy because all the windows were open at the heights.

At this time, a ray of sunlight shone in from the window in the southeast, and the large cafeteria looked very bright.

In front of everyone, there was a large desk, and the things on the desk were covered with cloth, so it was impossible to see what it was.

After bringing everyone in, Zhou Fu confessed his guilt, flashed to the back, and handed over everything in the big canteen to his son.

Zhou Quan stood on the side of the case, and after everyone sat down, he said with a smile: "It's really a great honor for you to come to Diqiu to appreciate your face, I won't talk nonsense, I invite you to come, I invite everyone to make a fortune with me!" ”

When he had finished speaking, a man came forward and presented a piece of cloth to the people.

"Jibeb?"

For everyone, these cloths are not too uncommon, after all, everyone here is a well-informed person.

"Cotton cloth, woven on a new loom, a skilled woman weaving at home, can weave twelve feet of cloth every day, only for the end cloth, Yi cloth as the price, the market value is three hundred and fifty Wen." Zhou Quan said slowly.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Cotton cloth is soft and warm, better than linen, as long as the price of cotton cloth is not higher than linen, it will be popular in the world. And the cotton cloth is still a jacket, you can try it. ”

So another padded jacket was presented, which was actually just a small clip back, but when worn on the body, it still made everyone feel warm.

At this time, in the winter to keep out the cold, the rich wear fur fur, and the rich linen clothes are stuffed with reed catkins, and the cotton jacket is indeed much warmer than the linen clothes.

Zhou Quan calculated an account for everyone, this is a market that can be as high as tens of thousands of yuan every year, and even if its profit is only one-tenth, there are tens of millions of yuan.

"As far as I know, this cloth is prevalent among the Li people in the Danzhou area, so it is also called Li Bu...... Zhou Lang, the Li people produce cotton there, but we don't produce cotton. ”

"I have made an agreement with Haizhou Su Taishou to try to plant 100,000 acres of cotton in Haizhou...... To tell you the truth, everyone knows that I am a wealthy person, but if you want the people to plant these 100,000 acres of cotton, I can't do it alone...... I want to form a trading company and bring the power of everyone together! ”

Zhou Quan's meaning is very clear, the people who planted cotton in the first year were supplied with rations by the trading company, and at the rate of 150 catties per mu, planting one mu of cotton, no matter what the harvest was, they could get 150 catties of grain first.

Then, in the first year, the cotton purchase was also underwritten by the trading company, and each pound of cotton could be exchanged for a certain amount of money, and this money was spent by the trading company when the cotton was harvested.

During the whole process, the government only played a supervisory role, and the trading company directly faced the farmers, so as to minimize the exploitation in the middle and let the farmers see real profits.

"I invite you to come here to set up a trading company and work together to promote the cotton cloth business. Anyone who joins the trading company can get the benefit of underwriting the state capital or even all the way to the cotton cloth! ”

When everyone heard this, their breathing suddenly stopped.

The situation described by Zhou Quan is too tempting, there are more than 30 powerful and wealthy businessmen here, and even if the profits of tens of millions of yuan are evenly divided, each family will have three or four hundred thousand yuan per year! It's not a one-shot deal, it's a long-term gain.

What's more, everyone has rod scales in their hearts, if they can really do what Zhou Quan said, the profit will be more than 10 million yuan a year!

And underwriting all the way to the benefit......

"Gyeongshi and Gyeonggi Road, my family wants it!" I don't know who it was, but suddenly roared.

"Hedong Road belongs to my family......" another person shouted.

Thanks to Zhou Quan's reputation, more and more people shouted, as if they were really carving up the Da Song cotton market.
