This imperial examination has only been more than a year since the last time, but the grand occasion is even more grand than the last one.

More than 300,000 candidates took the exam, and many of them dragged their families with them, and they did not come to participate in the scientific examination, but immigrants. As before, this group of people may have left their own relationships, or they may have relied on Zhang Hongwu's relationship to quietly enter Shaanxi and come to this country of China.

Of course, Zhang Hongbin has not yet established any political power at the moment, and it is a bit reluctant to say that it is a country.

There is a certain reason why this scientific examination is so serious, naturally the candidates recognize the power of the Salvation Army and feel that they can mix it here. Second, they also learned about the administrative model of the Salvation Army through their relatives and friends, and knew that more opportunities awaited them. It's like a single-plank bridge that was originally crossed by thousands of troops, but suddenly it becomes a widened version of the bridge to the sky, and a fool will walk away without looking.

It's just that according to the latest results of the internal security investigation, the root cause of this grand occasion is actually those rebels who left Shaanxi and were living outside.

They are merry and happy outside, but they are suffering to the common people everywhere. In addition, most of them are uneducated, and their speech is vulgar and unbearable, and the most important point is that they faced the inferiority complex of the literati before they made their careers, which made them look down on the literati after they became rich, so there were actually very few literati who could be accepted by them.

No, I can't live under the command of these rebels, my fame has no effect at all, and my life is not good, but now I really can't live anymore.

Well, you have to find a way to live, even if it is difficult to leave your homeland, and if you die, there will be nothing. So he dragged his family with his mouth, crossed many obstacles, and traveled thousands of miles to the legendary Shaanxi, the territory of the Salvation Army. They knew that the Salvation Army did not dislike the literati, and they owed a lot of literati to help them work, and here, they would not starve to death, and this was the territory of the Salvation Army, and no other forces interfered here, so at least they did not have to worry about military disasters here.

For this reason, the number of people is a bit larger, but the level of education is naturally uneven.

It doesn't matter, as long as they have the heart to study, the heart to study, and the heart to do practical things for the people, Zhang Hongbin gives them the opportunity to experience! 300,000 people is 300,000 people, and now in Shaanxi, I still think that the population here is too small!

The arrival of these 300,000 people is not without side effects, and I don't know if they have found the backbone or what, refugees from all over the world have also followed them here, and more than 5 million people have come back and forth. This is 100% of the refugees, food has become a problem, if you want to absorb them, if there is no food or not enough food, then maybe they will become an unstable factor, a bad one is like a powder keg, exploding inside, not killing people and disgusting people.

Fortunately, Zhang Hongbin is not short of food, and it is too easy to buy food according to his authority. It's just that this money naturally can't be paid by himself, he can pay part of it, but just like Shen Wansan's army, he can't just take this bad head. Food is purchased directly in the system supermarket, the advantages of the system are fully reflected here, all kinds of meat and rice noodles are absolutely not lacking, if you do not consider the problem of the maximum purchase amount, as well as the problem of payment, Zhang Hongbin can make all the people of Daming live a life that will no longer be hungry.

Don't worry about the funds, Zhang Hongbin has made a lot of money recently.

This money came from other races, and to put it bluntly, it was Tibet, the Middle East, the Arab region, the Mongolian region, the Japanese kingdom and the Houjin region. Zhang Da profiteer's abacus crackled, but he cut a lot of flesh on these aliens.

For the Tibetan, Mongolian and Houjin nomadic peoples, buying cattle, sheep and horses, and then selling tea, salt, and spirits are the most lucrative business. Of course, these are actually everyday products, and there is no way to maximize profits. The real source is still luxury, high-end watches, luxurious jewelry, transparent and wide mirrors, etc., are the main sources of wealth, and the profit is at least 300% and up to 1500%.

Luxury goods, whether it is a merchant in the Middle East, or a Japanese businessman, are very profitable goods. There is no shortage of rich people in every country, and every rich person wants something to set off his identity as a rich person. Luxury, is one of the best options, without it.

This kind of goods are resold by the General Chamber of Commerce, that is, the alliance of chambers of commerce after Zhang Hongbin's integration, and after careful dotting, they are resold to all parts of the country. However, domestic sales have recently begun to shrink, and the main trading partners have changed to foreign businessmen.

This is what Zhang Hongbin meant, this kind of commodity that can maximize the amount of money should be traded with a foreign race that seems to have little money.

Corrupt them, loot them! To maximize the strength of oneself, and at the same time to the maximum extent to weaken the other party, Zhang Hongbin likes to see such a scene.

To put it bluntly, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a loose organization that integrates Shaanxi's business and then shares resources to make the greatest profits to the outside world. However, driven by the various commodities in the supermarket of Zhang Hongbin's system, the centripetal force of this loose mechanism has reached the highest.

They also sell basic goods, but the real money is still the various goods provided by Zhang Hongbin.

These goods are transported through the connections of various chambers of commerce, and even the use of the Salvation Army's escorts, which means that the Salvation Army can also take a certain commission from it, and at the same time, after the sale, the transaction tax and income tax are collected on a quarterly basis.

According to Zhang Hongbin's intentions, the largest proportion of the goods shipped out will be sold to foreign businessmen according to the normal value of the goods at the first time. In the face of these novel, practical, and even many eye-catching goods, foreign merchants paid 200% attention to them and completed the transaction as soon as possible.

After the transaction was completed, they sadly discovered that the selling price of these goods was very cheap in the local area, at least cheaper than the cost price of their transaction. However, they could not buy such goods in large quantities in local retail stores, mainly because Zhang Hongbin had all the specialized stores sign an agreement prohibiting large-scale transfer to foreign merchants, otherwise their business qualifications would be revoked.

In this world, unless you are a fool, you will give up your business qualifications. Now who doesn't know that these commodities from Shaanxi are really chickens that lay golden eggs, and a fool will stew or lose this chicken.

Foreign merchants could not buy these goods cheaply, and Zhang Hongbin also insisted on the price, so that they had no room to bargain. Zhang Hongbin is monopolizing, most of these goods are produced by system supermarkets, which belong to the unique materials of this era, which means that Zhang Hongbin is not more worried about competition. Love to buy or not, anyway, after buying it, take it back and sell it, naturally you can sell it at a good price, if you don't buy it, it's just cheaper for others.

Therefore, there are no fools in this world, and in the end, these goods, which are obviously much more expensive than the local retail price, are still snapped up by merchants from all over the world. Immediately, they set out on their way home, selling the goods at a higher loan price to those who needed them locally.

This is the third time that such a transaction has been made, and the merchants are still coming to receive the goods, in other words, their goods have finally been recognized by the local strength. From their smiling faces, it can be seen that they are only afraid of raising the mirror with a profit of 400% to 600% before selling it.

asked the internal guard, and only then did he know that it was 1000%, Zhang Hongbin couldn't help but sigh that his Taoism was still a little worse.

A full-size mirror, decorated with certain costume jewelry, was sold for five taels of silver in the system supermarket, and Zhang Hongbin sold it to a foreign merchant at a 'cost price' of two thousand taels. And these merchants sold the mirrors in their homeland for five thousand taels. At this price, I heard that the local nobles didn't blink their eyes, these poor and remote villages, I didn't expect the nobles to be so rich.

Later, after inquiring about it, I found that of the 5,000 taels of silver, 2,000 taels were real silver money, and the rest were exchanged for furs, cattle, sheep and horses and various materials by merchants, and then transported to Shaanxi for sale. Maybe the profit is not high, but it was a way, but it was another profit.

Profiteer, Zhang Hongbin in addition to shouting profiteers, can only say "I obey you!" ”

"Husband, I have always wondered why these goods are so cheap to sell to Daming, but they are so expensive to sell to foreign merchants?" Xu Hui usually doesn't ask about government affairs, but this matter is really curious.

"Without him, the Ming Dynasty is a Chinese people, and we are a clansman with the same roots. I have good things today, and naturally I should take care of our people; Foreigners are different, I have no blood relationship with them, or they are still potential invaders of our China. This aggression may not be today, but in the future, but anyone who threatens Huaxia, or who does not have the same heart as Huaxia, I have no reason to cheapen them!

In addition, through the transactions again and again, I can control the economy of their forces most effectively, and after a long time, it will cause economic dependence, and when the time comes, we want them to die, or we want them to live, it is just a thought in our hearts. Of course, this process may not be too short. Zhang Hongbin naturally knows everything.

"The concubine is not a businessman, but she doesn't understand it very well." Xu Hui only understood seven points.

"It's good to know that it's like that, there's no need to know so thoroughly, if everyone in the world is so thorough, then how can we play? Now is not the time to talk about this, our scientific expedition is about to begin! "Yes, today is the day of the scientific expedition, and Zhang Hongbin has been waiting for a long time.

There is a lack of talents in the territory, but I don't know, what kind of surprise can this scientific expedition bring?
