Section 208 Fuzhou's coconut industry chain
Just one coconut has driven many businesses in Fuzhou, even those who make barrels have made a fortune.
Half an hour later, the mat that was superior in Xing'an's eyes came out, and a second-class middle review was given, and the reason alone was written on two sheets of paper. I can't accept it if I want to.
The steward eunuch here was afraid that Xing'an would be unhappy, so he specially brought a few first-class and first-class samples.
"Father-in-law Xing, these are the first-class, the best one, and they have never been loose when they are constantly patted ten thousand times with three hundred catties of stone slabs. And it's too gaspy but not watery. His work is not bad, but the 300-pound slate is only slapped 800 times, and it is slightly loose, and the Xingshou Yuan estimates that 3,000 times is the upper limit. ”
Just said one reason, and compared this piece of Xing'an's eyes.
Xing'an, who was also a big man, turned to the merchant and said, "Go back and work hard to make more money." ”
"Thank you, Lord Jiyan."
The coconut shell mat business is smaller than that of coconut oil, but it is also a profitable business. Although Bai Minghe doesn't want it, the top ten merchants dare to say how much they charge, this can be used as a mattress, and the seat cushion on the horse can also be used, even if they are needed on board. It's just that the ones on board are only first-class.
Another bottle of first-class coconut oil sample was sent to Xing'an.
Xing'an will not be dizzy anymore, he is full of energy, he found a small room to sit down, someone made tea, and someone put snacks and fruits next to him.
Ten bottles of coconut oil were opened in one line, and the last three bottles had reached a colorless state as clear as water.
"Uncle Xing, this is the cold-pressed coconut oil that Brother Bai wants, which is absolutely top-grade. Brother Bai with color is absolutely not, Brother Bai said: the first coconut oil of pure fresh virgin is the highest quality, as clear as water. When you get to the north, it will become a white paste. Those medium, can be reprocessed. For women with rouge. The lowest, add some other things, soap that can be used to wash hands, much better than soap, but there is no one here, Hepu is making it. Ginger explained.
Xing'an picked up a bottle and looked at it.
The heart said that the white crane is really demanding. It seems that this thing is the same as people, and there are three, six, nine and so on.
Jin Jie approached Xing'an and lowered his voice: "Uncle Xing, the real good things are in Guangdong, and the top ones are in Hepu." This Fujian is just doing some ......" Jin Jie thought for a long time, and finally remembered: "Brother Bai called it a labor-intensive industry. ”
Labor-intensive industry, a quirky but new word.
Literally, it should be a labor-intensive job.
Come to think of it. Xing'an asked: "General Lan, how many people are needed for this work?" ”
"Huixing's father-in-law's question. At present, 10,000 people are pouring into the wharf from all over Fujian. This is not counting the fixed personnel of the merchants, there are 3,410 ships on the register for transshipment from the river to the inland, the largest is 200 flat-bottomed, and the smallest is 50 single-person longboats. There are also people on the docks who sell food, sew clothes, move goods, and a large number of people who are looking for work. Especially thirty miles outside the wharf, the rocky wasteland was sold for three times the price of fertile land. ”
"Don't mess around!" As the governor of the East Factory. At this time, it is natural to care about people's livelihood first.
"Let the judge use refreshments, and the thief will be punished heavily. Those profiteers also have to be heavily fined, when they got off the ship just now, they saw people fighting on the dock, these are small things, but if there will be guests from a small state here. lost the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. Also, the ground should be clean, and the stinky water should not run everywhere. ”
"Yes, yes, this is the responsibility of the subordinates."
"I don't blame you, after all, there are more of a sudden disembarkation. If there are some things that are not right, it is good to improve them carefully. Xing'an put on a high profile, he won't really care about this kind of trivial matter in civil affairs, and he will also care about people's livelihood in the future, and he is not a passer-by here.
If the officials here know each other, they always have to say a few nice words to themselves in the notebook.
The problem of fighting, Xing'an will know without asking.
Where there are people, there will be gangs, and it is obvious that two different groups of porters are fighting to earn money for moving goods, and these small things are big toothpicks, and the local officials can take care of them.
"How long does it take to get from here to Little Luzon?" Xing'an asked suddenly.
"Cargo ships take five days and five nights, and they may be faster when they are familiar with the route. If the pure warship leaves, it should be possible to arrive in three days and four nights. There should be no problem in choosing a few navigators who have walked this sea route. Lan Hai replied beside him.
Xing'an nodded: "Go and arrange it." To-morrow morning, the Governor will go to sea to Little Luzon. ”
"Yes, that's the arrangement of the boat. Need some food or something else for your old ship? Lan Hai asked again.
Xing'an smiled and waved his hand and pointed at Liu Mingxuan. He knows about the ship.
"The lower official is rude!" Lan Hai hurriedly said, and Xing'an didn't care: "You are also thinking about Bendu, take Bendu to see the workshop here today, choose two good ones, and let Bendu see some fun." ”
Blue Ocean hurriedly went to arrange it.
Xing'an vomited all the way, and he didn't have the heart to eat. After eating two pieces of snack, he picked up the teacup.
After only smelling one fragrance, Xing'an's eyes lit up: "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"In reply to your words, this tea is a new tea-making method taught by the White Master Tea Sutra, called Da Hong Pao. It's just that the current yield is very small, except for finding a fairy tea tree on the cliff, no other has been found, and now the Fujian Tea Guild is studying how to plant it in the mountains, and it will be two years later to receive the tea. ”
Here in charge of the work of the head of the courtyard, followed Bai Minghe to Guangdong, the steward eunuch in the original palace respectfully introduced the tea.
"Good tea!" Xing'an took another sip.
"There used to be a wealthy businessman who offered ten gold bars to buy one or two of this tea, but the Fujian Tea Guild did not sell it. The top-of-the-line one-pound four-tael tea is packed in twenty special small boxes. Now these twenty boxes of tea are placed in Chunhui Garden, Guangzhou, you are angry, this is just a first-class tea. "The eunuch was really afraid that he didn't give Xing'an the best drink, which would make Xing'an unhappy.
Jin Jie hurriedly explained beside him: "Chunhui Garden is Brother Bai's yamen in Guangzhou. ”
"You are good to be so faithful. Those twenty taels are naturally a tribute, and he is a good white crane! Xing An'an said, I'm afraid that Bai Minghe has put a lot of effort into the New Year's gift.
Such a first-class is such an aftertaste, so what will the top look like.
Xing'an was drinking tea here, and a Dongchang fan came to his side and whispered a few words, Xing'an was stunned at first, and then laughed: "A few wild monkeys can still turn the world upside down, arrange for our people to stare at the point, and then ask the people of Jinyiwei to make a lot of effort, can't they just eat meat and not work." ”
"Yes, don't worry." He clenched his fists and strode out.
Outside the door, this person only said one sentence to his subordinates: "Someone wants to reduce our food!" ”
That's right, the activity funds of the East Factory are from the inner library, and the white crane is full of the emperor's inner library, and the silver of the East Factory is naturally more.
At this time, in a house not far from this wharf, there were six high-ranking officials who were all of the same color and second grade.
Sitting in the chief is a tall man, the governor of Fujian.
The governor of Fujian is the highest official in military affairs, and he is a man from Shandong, who is tall and big. The name is also called Luhan. The surname is Lu, because he was an orphan and was adopted by the army since he was a child, and he grew up eating hundreds of official meals. So he used the abbreviation of Shandong, Lu, in his own words, he has more than 100 fathers and more than 200 mothers.
In his eyes, there is no good thing in the left and right political envoys of the Fujian Political Division.
One is greedy for money, and the other is greedy for merit. The two of them spent three days convincing themselves, the purpose of which was to let themselves out of Guangdong and do it alone.
"Lu Dudu, the Guangdong Metropolitan Division earns at least two million taels of silver a year. You saw the coconut oil, the white crane thirty taels and one barrels were collected, and the wealthy merchants in the capital had already put out the price, and the first time, the white cranes did not want it, they also collected thirty taels and one barrels, and the cash was settled. I don't want money, I will bring you whatever you want immediately. ”
Waiting for coconut oil, in fact, the white crane is also collected. But there is another kind, that is, it is better than the second class, and the first class is a little worse. This kind of coconut oil is not bad, but under a large number of transportation, after all, it has to be transported for a few days and nights, plus it has to be stored in the warehouse for a few days, and some of it is not fresh enough to naturally produce the high-quality coconut oil that is pure as water.
This one, the white-named crane will not be accepted.
It's not that Bai Minghe picks it, but Bai Minghe also wants to leave some goods for the top ten merchants, after all, this kind of high-quality and inexpensive coconut oil, the entire Ming Dynasty has a huge market.
At present, the standard barrel is a barrel of fifteen buckets, and according to the algorithm of the last liter, it is almost a barrel of more than 150 liters.
All barrels are made according to a standard, and the materials used are similar.
One liter is almost more than 85 grams, and according to the algorithm of 596 grams per catty on Daming's side, it is about 230 catties. The ex-factory price of coconut oil per catty is only more than a penny, and this coconut oil is definitely the top product. It's not the kind of boiled inferior coconut oil.
"I didn't even bite the bones, so I thought about grabbing the meat and eating it. You're really good! Lu Han hadn't spoken yet, and the Governor of Zuo, who was sitting next to him, was the commander of the Tongzhi, that is, the second-in-command of the Fujian Metropolitan Division, and Liu Bingzhang rushed to speak. He is a member of the Liu clan in Guanzhong.
The Liu clan in Guanzhong was considered to be a merger of the Wang clan in the Tang Dynasty.
The faces of the two political envoys turned black at the same time, but the two envoys of the judge were secretly happy.
According to the procurator, he is in charge of prisons, public security, litigation, and arrest. They are not considered Qingshui Yamen, and there will naturally be some filial piety in a lawsuit. The people who are responsible for arresting the natural subordinates will run farther, and the information they get is not as good as the professional intelligence of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but they know not less.
The Guangdong Political Secretary changed overnight, and even if such a major event is extremely blockaded in Guangdong, it is impossible to hide it from everyone. (To be continued......)

At present, the original line has been replaced with optical fiber, which will pull the temporary network cable.
