vs 124 No more silk! 【First Update】
Chen Adaa drank a lot of wine and also told some secrets of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division.
"Lord Deng studied under the Hubei Li family Fengming knife, and after talking about the Li family, the ancestors of the Li family came out of the Southern Song Dynasty Li Tingzhi, General Li. It was a first-class hero, but it was a pity that the Southern Song Dynasty court was incompetent and died in Taizhou. Speaking of the Li family in Hubei, your little girl's Li Huamei's father is also a member of the Li family. ”
The white crane was taken aback.
Chen Adaa smiled: "How well do you understand the martial arts of the female champion, three or five good players may not be able to get close." There is no good background who can marry her daughter. ”
Bai Minghe nodded vigorously: "Tell me about Lord Deng's father?" Chen Adaa glanced at Bai Minghe, poured half of the jar with the wine jar, and smiled bitterly: "I'm going to get drunk, even if I'm drunk, I don't have the courage to say it." After that, one of them fell to the ground, and I don't know if he was really drunk or fake.
Bai Minghe shook his head helplessly.
It seems that everyone has a story.
The next day, the beggars in the capital distributed the silver beans given by Bai Minghe, and sang a compiled ballad in only half a day. The meaning is that long live the grace of the world, and give each sergeant who participated in the civil fort a reward of three stones of polished rice, but the British Duke wanted to claim that the grain was transported for free, and the actual distribution to the sergeant was not enough for one stone.
The ballad is made up by Qinghe, not for elegance, but for easy to understand.
At this time, even Li Bing knew that Bai Minghe was going to trap people, but Bai Minghe was meeting with representatives from the Ningbo Business Gang. The Merchant Gang is a tight-knit and loose organization, each with its own business and connections to each other. But they don't affect each other, just externally. will be united.
The Wang family of Hangzhou sent the eldest son of the family to the mansion of the white crane.
"Grass people. Wang Fulin. I've seen Lord Bai! He bowed to the end until the white crane responded.
"I heard that Mr. Wang was also overlifted." Bai Minghe asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's just that since the age of seventeen, I have been named Sun Shan in three examinations. I still haven't read my own books, and I don't have enough knowledge. My father couldn't stand running around, and several uncles in the clan kept me as the four-palm hall of my Wang family's Yuanfu business. Jiangbei Zhili's business has been completely run by grass people. ”
Wang Fulin not only introduced himself, but also indirectly explained the reasons why he failed in the trial.
At the same time, he indicated his status in the family, so as not to think that Bai Minghe was too young and think that the Ningbo merchant gang despised him.
"First of all, you just happened to do something for me. When Chao Tanhua Chengkai was there, I also said okay, but I still need your help! I will pay you the necessary materials and manpower costs. Bai Minghe briefly explained some details.
Wang Fulin naturally agreed without saying a word, everything was done by Cheng Kai, he was just helping to prepare some things.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Last time, I asked someone to bring me a message, and I wanted to ask for another 20,000 loads of silk. I don't know if your account and your business can provide it? "Shira-naka gets straight to the point, he cares about the supply of silk.
"Lord Bai, please listen to the grass people first."
"Just speak!" Shirana Crane said, is there anything else difficult in it? Or maybe it's because the price is low.
Bai Fulin took a deep breath and said, "My lord." Seventy percent of the silk of the entire Ming Dynasty comes from the south of the Yangtze River. Even the silk weavers in Guangdong, there are also many silk purchasers from the south of the Yangtze River. The year before last, according to the statistics of our business gang, the raw silk output of the whole Daming Institute was about 103 million quintals. Last year, it was raised to 117 million quintals. Lord Bai asked for 20,000 loads of silk. It's not that we can't take it out, but once we take out 20,000 quintals, the people of Jiangnan will reach the end of the year. I'm afraid there are no new clothes to wear. ”
The number of Bai Ming Crane is incomprehensible. Remember the time of the Hereafter. The export of raw silk in Jiangnan alone is tens of thousands of tons. One ton and twenty quintals are about the same, and I originally thought that the productivity here in Daming was worse. Bai Minghe doesn't think that he can't save 20,000 loads of silk a year.
I believe that Wang Fulin should not lie to himself on this number.
"Seven thousand quintals is the limit of our Ningbo merchant gang, and it is impossible for the capital to run out of goods. Even if Lord Bai gathers all the businesses in the whole Ming Dynasty, he will give you another 13,000 quintals at most. ”
The white crane didn't believe it. "However, this official is only in Guangdong, and there are more than 10,000 burdens."
"My lord, that's not from Guangdong Province. Including the amount of Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong provinces. The goods were placed in Guangdong and were ready to be transported to the capital by sea. After Lord Bai asked for these silks, the goods in the capital could not be broken, so the merchants collected them from all over the country and gathered in the capital again. ”
Listening to Wang Fulin's explanation, Bai Minghe felt a little depressed in his heart, can he still do this business.
If there is no supply, what will be used for business.
"The grass people have a plan, and only Lord Bai dares to respond to the big tomorrow. Only Lord Bai can do it, except for Lord Bai, there will definitely be no second person to pick out tomorrow! ”
"Don't tell me anything nice, just say what kind of plan it is?" Shirana Tsuru likes to listen to practical.
Wang Fulin immediately took out a map embroidered with silk and put it in front of Bai Minghe: "Lord Bai, here is the map of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, look here." Looking at the position pointed by Wang Fulin, Wang Fulin explained: "Our Wang family has a thousand acres of land here, and we don't grow grain, only mulberry. ”
Bai Minghe understood at once, the Wang family is very good, this is the road of high-yield mulberry forests in later generations.
At that moment, the white crane interface said: "It's good to build yì, plant mulberry trees like grain." When the mulberry tree grows to three feet tall, cut off the top of the tree, let the mulberry tree grow horizontally, and then add enough field fertilizer. This mulberry tree grows well, and the quality of this raw silk must be very good, a good way, definitely a good way. ”
This time it was Wang Fulin's turn to be stunned.
"My lord, why do you want to cut off the crown?"
When Bai Minghe heard this, he said in his heart that Daming may have just started planting mulberry trees. After thinking about it, he said: "I also read it from a book, it may not be complete, you can find someone to verify it." ”
Bai Minghe didn't know much, all of them were when he was traveling in a small town in the south, where there was a mulberry garden farmhouse. I've seen it, and I've heard some explanations.
The branch method is used to plant mulberry, and large-scale agricultural fertilizer is born.
As Bai Minghe spoke, Wang Fulin took off his clothes directly and quickly recorded on the inside of the robe.
Bai Minghe laughed a few times when he was happy: "Hahaha, when the time comes, 100,000 acres of mulberry fields." 100,000 quintals of raw silk are produced a year. If there is an opportunity, develop another Guangxi, plus 100,000 acres of mulberry fields, although the quality is not as good as the lake silk, but there can also be more than 100,000 tons of raw silk, when the time comes, just raw silk, I have a year of tens of millions of taels of silver income. ”
"My lord......" Wang Fulin didn't know what to say.
I thought that I would add some mulberry fields. There are almost a few thousand acres, and when the time comes, it will not be a problem for Bai Minghe to have 20,000 quintals of silk a year.
But who would have thought that this Lord Bai would be 100,000 acres as soon as he opened his mouth. Doesn't he know how much tax he has to pay for 100,000 mu? If you want 30,000 or 40,000 stone of grain a year, this will raise the price of grain in the entire Jiangnan.
"That's it, you go back and contact the big landlords. Let's just say that they can plant silk if they want to plant their fields, and they don't want to plant them. One acre of Tamoto-sama gave one stone of polished rice a year. ”
Bai Minghe was so excited that he had already said that the mulberry tree was directly silk.
But when Wang Fulin sounded these words, he had another feeling. If you really say what Bai Minghe said, he is planting silk.
An acre of mulberry is a silkworm at least, and a good one and a half can be a silkworm. Three acres of land is a load of raw silk a year, to the smallest. 3,000 acres is 1,000 quintals of raw silk. 100,000 acres is more than 30,000 quintals of raw silk. If you really dare to have hundreds of thousands of acres, this number is quite terrifying.
Even if the price of raw silk drops, it is more cost-effective than grain.
Bai Minghe's 100,000 acres and more than 100,000 quintals of silk are right in his heart. The density of mulberry forests in later generations, the yield of mulberry leaves was much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Fulin's calculation was not wrong, he did not point out the mistake of the white crane, because the general direction of the white crane was not wrong, and the details were not important.
Thinking of this, Wang Fulin knew that he could put forward conditions.
"Lord Bai, the grass people want to ask Lord Bai to pay thirty percent of the grain for us in Jiangnan for the second half of the year. We are willing to exchange for Gangnam's specialties, although there is not enough silk. But there are still tens of thousands of quilts and hundreds of thousands of embroideries in our warehouse. The porcelain in Jiangnan is no worse than that in Guangdong, and it is not a problem to pull a few boats or a dozen boats. ”
"Okay, you can take the two million stone polished rice." The white crane is very arrogant, and Wang Fulin bows. "Lord Xie Bai."
Bai Minghe waved his hand: "This matter, don't blame the official for being stingy." In black and white, responsibilities, rights, and interests should be clearly stated. In particular, the great mulberry garden said, after I return to Hepu, I will first give you 1 million stone of coarse rice as a guarantee, and within three years, you will also protect 100,000 quintals of raw silk. ”
"Lord Bai is wise, responsible, and righteous, and there is a saying of profit. The grass people are convinced! ”
In fact, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, bad people are very credit-worthy, not to mention businessmen who regard credit as their life. However, Wang Fulin, who spoke of Bai Minghe, also understands that white paper and black words are just a piece of paper, and they are still based on credit. Explain the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and dividends clearly.
is in response to that sentence, the villain first and then the gentleman.
Bai Minghe set up a wine to entertain guests, and talked to Wang Fulin about some details at the wine table. Especially the Great Mulberry Garden Plan, this is not afraid to give an explanation to the government, firstly, the white crane is supported here, and secondly, the taxes are a lot. There's no way anyone can say what's wrong.
The main talk is about some details of how to cooperate with each other.
At the end, Wang Fulin said to Bai Minghe: "Lord Bai, in fact, I know that there is another place where there is a good brocade. The four famous brocades of the Ming Dynasty, Shu brocade can't be counted on at the moment, although they rank third, but the output is too small. Su Jin and Yun Jin, the origins are Suzhou and Nanjing respectively, and they have been emptied by Bai Daren. There is also the last one, the second of the four famous brocades! ”
Bai Minghe didn't know where this brocade came from, at least he hadn't seen it in Daming. (To be continued......)
