Chapter 257: The Big Deal
For Lin Bei and Wanghai City, what resources are the most? That's the endless number of fish in the sea.
Nowadays, people's exploration of the ocean is limited to the sea area of nearly 100 miles around the coast, and the fishermen on the seashore may not dare to go deep for dozens of miles unless necessary, but for Lin Bei and Wanghai people, this is not a problem.
Lin Bei naturally needless to say, he is like a dragon in the sea, after the Wanghai people have a steamboat, the speed of the steamship can make them go farther, so that they can catch more sea fish, when it comes to the exploration of the sea and the ability to survive on the sea, the Wanghai people are definitely second to none in this era.
As long as Lin Bei can sell the fish, no matter how much Zhen's firm wants, Lin Bei will have a way to get the fish back, tens of millions of tons? This is not a problem, there are too many blue whales and killer whales, and Lin Bei doesn't have to worry that he and Wanghai City can catch all the fish in the sea, so it can be said that this resource doesn't have to worry about being depleted in the past thousand years.
It's a pity that these are the best ideas in Lin Bei, Zhen's firm obviously can't eat so many goods, Zhen's main business is still rice grain, and it is also engaged in some lucrative industries such as salt and iron, although others can also be bought and sold, the quantity will not be too much.
So Zhen Ping thought about it for a while and said: "My lord, I bought the production method of this fish floss, in addition, buy some fish floss, my lord also knows that meat is much more expensive than rice grain, but now there are not many things that can be bought in the Central Plains." ”
Zhen's fish floss can only be sold to some rich people, and the common people must have no money to buy it, and the rich people don't have to worry about food and clothing, so this kind of fish floss is only eaten as a snack at most, just like preserved fruit, and the sales volume is definitely not large.
Lin Bei also knew about this situation, but he didn't care about it, this kind of thing had to be done slowly. Let the Central Plains people accept the food of fish floss first, and when the life of the Central Plains people is peaceful, there will be more people who eat at that time, and that is the time to really make a lot of money, which is the same as advertising, but the benefits will take decades to see.
"Okay. When you leave, I'll have someone copy you of the fish floss method. "Lin Beidao.
It's a pity that because of the problem of salt, salted fish can not be sold, salted fish can be preserved longer than fish floss, and the transportation is more convenient, if it can be sold, then it is only sold tens of millions of tons every year, and all the people in Wanghai can make a lot of money.
"In addition, there is another thing that has to be sold to you Zhen, this thing is much stronger than a bicycle." Lin Bei threw out the cement again.
"Oh? Speak, sir. Zhen Ping's interest suddenly soared. Stronger than a bike? How much Zhen Ping earns by the bicycle is quite clear, the money is secondary, and the Zhen family has also befriended many heroes, so that the Zhen family is in the Central Plains, which can not be bought with money, and now Zhen's signboard in the Central Plains rings, and many people have to give Zhen face.
In the past, whenever there was a war, rice and grain merchants were almost always the targets of robbery. Who let them have something to eat, but because of the bikes. Although there were frequent wars in the Central Plains last month, Zhen's losses were minimal, and if Zhen threw out something more powerful than the effect of bicycles, then Zhen's position in the Central Plains would be more stable.
"This thing is called cement" Lin Bei just said his name, and he heard An Zhongzhi shout over there.
Lin Bei turned his head: "What's the matter?" ”
An Zhongzhi was holding a person with his hand and shouted towards Lin Bei: "My lord." This man is going to kowtow to the adults."
Lin Bei didn't care about Zhen Ping at the moment, hurriedly walked over, and said to the man: "Uncle, there is no need for this. ”
It was an old man with a wrinkled face. Seeing that he was at least sixty years old, he desperately broke free from An Zhongzhi's support at this time, knelt down slowly, kowtowed a few heads to Lin Bei, and even kowtowed, and his tone was choked: "Lord Longshen, the little old man is now ruined, only the old man is left, and now he is old and weak, Lord Longshen has mercy and gives the little old man food, the little old man is grateful, he can only kowtow, thank the Dragon God for the virtue of life." ”
"Zhongzhi, help the old man up." Lin Bei hurriedly said straight to An Zhong, and said with a straight face: "Old man, there is no need for such a lot of courtesy, this lord has said, since you have come to my Wanghai City, you will be the people of this lord, so that the people under your rule have food and clothing, it is the duty of this lord, how to be grateful." ”
"Lord Ryujin, great grace" The old man kowtowed a few more times before slowly standing up.
Lin Bei didn't know his situation, this old man was too old, and his family was all dead, in this era, there was no pension insurance or anything, and others couldn't look down on him if he wanted to find a job, if he wasn't brought by Zhen, he would definitely die, so he would be so grateful, even if Lin Bei really wanted to eat him at this time, because of the grace of a meal, this old man might also close his eyes: Eat
The old man's gratitude suddenly stimulated some people, there are many situations like the old man in this group of homeless people, some are a sister with a little brother, their parents are dead, some are a widow with a child, some are an old man with a child, in the troubled times, these people should almost be people who have not lived for a long time, and now the adult in front of them gives them meat to eat, and will give them a house to live in, and give them a stable life, which suddenly makes them convinced of Lin Bei's identity as the dragon god, if it is not for the dragon god descending to earth, How could they take such care of these mortals? Lin Bei's huge body does not bring a sense of fear, but a sense of security.
Many people knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Bei, calling them Lord Longshen, Lin Bei patiently asked the sergeants to help them up one by one, and at the same time comforted them lightly, this attitude strengthened the minds of these people.
After suffering and suffering, they will know how to cherish it more, and now that the Han Court is rotten, which of these homeless people usually sees them is not to raise their eyebrows and scold them at will, there are too few good-tempered people like Lin Bei.
A meal coupled with Lin Bei's attitude easily captured the hearts of these homeless people, even if some of these people were still suspicious, as long as they stayed in Wanghai City for a few days, they would be assimilated by the Wanghai people.
When these people finished eating, Lin Bei saw that many people were holding the big bowl and did not let go, they did not eat all the meat, it was estimated that they were going to save it for the next meal and eat it, Lin Bei laughed and felt a little sad, and said lightly to these people: "This is my Si Nong of Wanghai City, surnamed An, you can call him An Si Nong, you wait to go with him now, he will register for you." Arrange the place where you live, and tell you what you need to do, if you have any doubts, you can go to the city lord's mansion to find this lord, and this lord will be the master for you, okay? ”
Chao An Zhong gestured directly. An Zhongzhi nodded knowingly, and said loudly: "Everyone, my name is Anping, the word Zhongzhi, you will go with me, I will arrange a house for you, and when you have a house, you can sleep with peace of mind, and when you arrive at my Wanghai City." There is no need to worry about it. ”
Many people kowtowed to Lin Bei a few more times, and then followed An Zhong straight towards the city, of course, the sergeant also accompanied him, in addition to surveillance, if he saw someone who couldn't walk, he would also support a few handfuls.
When everyone left the dock, Zhen Ping sighed: "My lord." You are really kind to such common people, and the villain asks himself about the officials he has seen in his life. But I have never seen anyone like an adult. ”
Lin Bei Zhengse said: "As the old saying goes: the people are precious, the society is secondary, the monarch is light, and there are clouds: Jun, Zhouye, the people." Water also, water can carry boats, and can also capsize boats, and the officials you see just don't understand the truth, so the Han Dynasty is about to fall. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. ”
Zhen Ping didn't expect Lin Bei to say such a big truth to him, so he was stunned and then made a long note to Lin Bei: "The words of the adults are thought-provoking, and the villains have been taught." ”
Lin Bei said again: "This is the case for the king, and the same is true for the merchants, your Zhen family is now the No. 1 grain merchant family in the Central Plains, you can make friends with heroes, but you can't ignore the low-level people, if I am your Zhen clan patriarch Zhen Rong, I will help the people from time to time and gain a good reputation, otherwise even if your Zhen family has the merit of following the dragon, in the end, I am afraid that you can only end up with a bird hiding the bow, and the rabbit and the dog cooking." ”
At this time, to do good deeds, it is generally to distribute grain, rice or porridge, so even if those who do good deeds are just trying to make a name, but it is also real to fall on the common people, because it can indeed save some people, if Zhen can do this, it is equivalent to Lin Bei saving countless people with a casual word, which can be regarded as a kind of merit.
"The villain has been taught, Master Xie will advise." Zhen Ping once again sincerely thanked.
"So let's talk about business again?" Lin Bei's words changed.
Zhen Ping really couldn't adapt to it, he was still full of gratitude just now, because Lin Bei's words were indeed golden and jade good words, showing the benevolent mind of this Dragon God, and now he talked about mundane things like money as soon as he turned his mouth, and the contrast was a little bigger.
"Uh, fine." Zhen Ping stammered.
"Where did I tell you?"
"It's supposed to be something called cement."
"Oh, yes, the next thing we're going to talk about is the cement deal, but we can't talk about it here, we have to go outside the city."
"Out of town?"
Lin Bei instructed the sergeant at the dock to bring a bicycle for Zhen Ping, "You can ride a bicycle now, right?" ”
"The villain will."
"Then let's go, let's go out of the city and let you see the cement."
Zhen Ping pedaled on the bicycle, Lin Bei led the way in front, and headed out of the city, Zhen Ping pedaled the bicycle fast, but he couldn't catch up with Lin Bei.
At this time, Zhen Ping saw that in addition to self-power, there was also a kind of car in the city that could run without animal power, "My lord, what kind of car was that just now?" Zhen Ping asked breathlessly.
"Steam cars, like steam ships, don't make up your mind."
Zhen Ping was shocked in his heart, Wanghai City already had such a divine object, no wonder he could casually sell them the bicycle's manufacturing method, with Zhen Ping's eyes, he could naturally see that this steam car was thousands of times better than a bicycle.
"It's a pity that this adult doesn't sell it." Zhen Ping regretted it in his heart.
Thinking all the way, Zhen Ping rode to the West City Gate, Lin Bei had already been waiting there, seeing Zhen Ping's arrival, Lin Bei used the tail to guide the mountain road: "Zhen Ping, what do you think of this road?" ”
The most important thing is that this cement road is not like a stone road, the joints between the stone slabs can be seen, but the cement road can not be seen, just like the whole, Zhen Ping looked at it for a long time before saying: "My lord, this road is extraordinary." ”
"This road is built with cement, called Nanshan Road, with a total length of more than 410 miles, the last time you came this road has not been repaired, it took less than two months to repair this road, in addition, Nanshan Road is very solid, even if you use a heavy hammer to break one or two, if it is used to repair the city wall, hehe"
Zhen Ping attracted the information in the words, and immediately hissed, no wonder this dragon god would say that cement is stronger than the role of bicycles, if it is all true, it can be called a divine object. (To be continued......)
