Chapter 55: Find a way to make money
The time is from the beginning of winter to light snow, and the weather is starting to get colder and colder. There was already cotton in this era, and with the demotion of excessive grain production, the family also began to move from traditional farming to commerce and industry.
Cotton fabrics are also gradually occupying the mainstream, but the fine linen has not yet withdrawn from the market, nothing more.
"The population of Dahan should be quite a lot, I don't know if there is 100 million." Zhu Xin was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, roasted on the fire, drank tea and ate refreshments. In this world, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and medicine is developed, and it is said that the population growth rate will not be low......
Sun Ce went out to visit the generals under Yuan Shu as originally planned. The trend of masturbating strings brought by himself before, the civil officials don't know, the military generals are very popular, and from time to time they form groups of three or five, roast and sell themselves, and drink a happy beer with beer.
It is also possible that there are not many, after all, industrial and commercial...... That is, the capitalists need a lot of labor, and at the same time they need more land to grow cotton and so on.
In other words, the Han Dynasty was prosperous and powerful, and its goods were exported to various places, and even various guilds and guilds had been formed now.
There are still many low-level people who do not have enough food and clothing, so they want to rebel. Perhaps, this is the truth of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in this world. It's a pity that Zhu Xin doesn't care too much about this.
Jiangnan is too far away from the Central Plains and Hebei, and many things can only be heard, so there is distortion. I just couldn't see it in person, so I simply didn't know, anyway, it had no impact on his career and future.
"I remember that during the period of Emperor Huan, the population was as high as 200 million." Huang Gai walked in, sat next to the stove, and had to pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, "This pastry is good!" ”
"High sugar and high oil, of course the taste is very good." Zhu Xin looked at Huang Gai, "It's best for the lady to eat less, this winter is the easiest to gain weight, after all, they don't move much." ”
"That's you, we martial artists, we practice martial arts every day, and we are always ready to go into battle to kill the enemy." Huang Gai retorted.
"Yes, yes, you're right." Zhu Xin didn't refute anything, after all, this is the case. But he didn't do nothing, just take care of his fat.
At the beginning, he promised Sun Ce to gain a few pounds, but sure enough, he instinctively didn't want to be fat. As a result, I don't know if my belly is big, but my strength seems to have increased slightly.
Now that I have a body fat rate, my face is a little rounder, and I have a slightly belly, and I am a bodybuilder. In fact, he felt that Sun Ce could slightly transform from a fat lover to a muscle lover...... At least take it easy yourself.
Strictly speaking, there is no need for him to deliberately change himself for Sun Ce's personal preferences. At least, he felt that the relationship and relationship between the two had not yet reached that level.
"But if there are 200 million people in the Han Dynasty, how many people will die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion......" Zhu Xin changed the subject.
"Anyway, that time, every day, every hour...... People are dying all the time. Huang Gai sighed, "In the next few years, although there was still some turmoil everywhere, most of the people's lives became a lot better." In those years, it was also jokingly called Dahan Zhongxing. ”
Yes, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the two sides killed each other, it is said that tens of millions of people were killed, and in the end, Daoguang was still Xianfeng Zhongxing. It is nothing more than the redistribution of social resources, the illusion that it produces.
"Why are you thinking about this?" Huang Gai suddenly realized the question, and then asked.
"I just thought that there should be no shortage of soldiers, plus there is no shortage of food and materials...... Then it's just a lack of money? Zhu Xin asked.
"yes...... If you don't lack anything, you lack money......" Huang Gai also began to become melancholy.
In these days, you can buy everything with money, and you can recruit as many soldiers as you want, but the question is how to get the money?
Originally, the Han Dynasty used five baht coins as the standard, and merchants would privately settle large amounts of goods with gold cakes. Later, after the five-baht coin was seriously insufficient, the imperial court minted gold and silver into five-baht coins to replace the ten and one hundred wen, barely ensuring the circulation of the currency.
Since the family began to study the family from farming and began to enter the industrial and commercial field, the calculation time began more than 400 years ago. After 400 years, this industry and commerce have certainly developed. When you get it, you can buy all kinds of things if you have money.
The Yuan family is a big chaebol, and with all the money, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao can get anything they need.
Sun Ce can't do it, the Sun family's industry is not so much, in addition to deducting the share of the family, from time to time to fund some, this amount is not much.
That is, a lot of silver and materials were seized from Chen Wen's side before, which can support the use of about a few months. After a few months, you'll have to figure out something else. Yuan Shu's side only provided supplies for a thousand people.
In particular, there is also the cost of military salaries, although it is not much, but it cannot be ignored. According to this line of thinking, Sun Ce can only hold on until the beginning of spring, and he will probably run out of money.
"What's the quickest way to get money?" Huang Gai looked at Zhu Xin and asked, after all, she didn't have an idea.
"The way to get money quickly can be found in "Han Law", especially those who will die." Zhu Xin teased.
"The words of a non-professional ......" Huang Gai began to think about it seriously.
Occupation may lead to class mutation, but non-professionals do not. In a sense, forming a bandit group of non-professionals, as long as the identity is not revealed, then the money does come quickly......
"If it is exposed, Bo Fu will be disgusted by the world's families!" Zhu Xin directly rejected this idea.
In this era, there are almost no talents from the poor and the commoners. It's not that there isn't, but talent does appear more in wealthy families. In particular, most of the industries are also monopolized by the family, and if they do not recruit their people, they will not sell their goods, or make it difficult in this regard, anyway, there are as many means as possible.
Unless it is a family like the Yuan family that has a mine, there may be constraints everywhere.
"How can you make money?" Huang Gai asked rhetorically, is it true that she doesn't know the severity?
Zhu Xin raised the cup in his hand and was silent for a moment, "In the short term, we can't leave Shouchun, right?" ”
"At least next year, there will be absolutely no way to leave...... So what's wrong? Huang Gai was a little puzzled.
"In terms of business, there is one, but you need to open a store." Zhu Xin replied.
There is no milk tea in this world, there are a lot of dairy products, and even after the milk is preserved, it can be quickly transported to various places, and rich families can even maintain a daily supply of a cup of milk.
There is no shortage of sugar, and there is no shortage of tea...... It's just that I don't know why, in this world, milk tea hasn't appeared yet. According to Zhu Xin's understanding of this thing, don't look at a small cup, the cheap one is three or five yuan, and the expensive one is twenty yuan, but the cost is really not high.
After thinking about it, he added: "But there is a disadvantage to this business, that is, it is easy to be imitated. ”
"Isn't that easy?" When Huang Gai heard this, he said with a smile, "Just go directly to the industry guild to register!" ”
"Huh?" Zhu Xin was a little confused, he knew the business guild, what the hell was the industry guild?
