Chapter 425: That Girl
Time passed, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the end of summer 1568 was approaching.
"How's it going?"
Raising his eyes and looking at He Yongding's figure, as the fifth elder of the Lingyan Pavilion of Jiuhua Mountain, he was also the steward of this valley, and he was ordered to supervise all grain storage matters.
"The first crop of sweet potatoes has been transported out of the mountain, and the second crop is being harvested."
In more than half a year, a total of more than 800 acres of fertile land have been cultivated in the valley, and in addition to 500 acres of paddy fields, there are also 300 acres of hillside areas.
From February to the present, to the end of May this year, the first crop of sweet potatoes has been successfully harvested, and a full 900,000 catties of sweet potatoes have been transferred to various villages around the county through the channels established by Wang Fang.
Among them, the Yang family brothers, that is, several brothers of Wang Fang's third aunt, played a great role, there is no way, now there are too few people available around Wang Fang, if there is no external help, the goods cannot be transported anyway.
"A total of eight distribution channels have been established, and more than 200 retail sales investors from surrounding villages have been convened to help us distribute together."
Distribution channels, sales retailers, and the concept of distribution, with the passage of time, gradually imposed by Wang Fang on the field, in fact, among the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, there is already such a name and concept, but the local colloquial names are different, which sounds particularly awkward, so Wang Fang ordered to change its calling habits.
"Three of the channels are in charge of the Yang brothers, and the remaining five channels are in charge of ourselves, each sales location, with more than 100,000 catties of reserves stored, once the sales begin, within three days, we can occupy the streets and alleys of the county.
In addition, the oven ordered in April is also in production, so far, there are 80 in reserve, and when we start distribution, we can reach 110 in reserve. ”
The oven, or the large iron drum, resembles the gasoline canisters of later generations, and is so simple and inexpensive that it can be imitated almost by talking to a blacksmith.
In addition, the method of baking was also taught by Wang Fang, he did not plan to make a fortune with this kind of gadget, but only hoped to prepare everything for himself before the autumn rain fell.
"The other thing is the price, are you sure that you will pay a penny a pound?"
In He Yongding's view, Wang Fang's approach is quite incomprehensible, in terms of taste alone, sweet potatoes are several times better than coarse grains, but in terms of price, Wang Fang has always insisted on the price of one penny and one catty, and even retail investors who agree to distribution can take credit and sell sweet potatoes before coming back to settle the bill.
It's not that retail investors don't trust sales, but compared to traditional sales methods, this practice is simply free to give, a penny and a pound, you can pay on credit, if someone really disregards the skin, take hundreds of pounds on credit, how to return to the cost at that time.
"That's a real problem."
Touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Wang Fang nodded and said: "It's still one pound and one catty, and if you agree with the other party to use rice and grain to offset the account, it will be according to the standard of one pound for six catties." ”
"But?"
He Yongding hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "But the price of grain in the county is only one catty and five wen, so in this way, we are not losing more." ”
He waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about the loss, as long as we sell all the sweet potatoes, even if we give them away for free, we can earn a lot of money." ”
The economic problem is difficult to explain, even after half a year of teaching, He Yongding still can't understand the magic of the market, and in the current valley, I am afraid that only Man Niang and Yang Rong really understand Wang Fang's plan, I have to say that the IQ of these two people has reached the point of Wang Fang's shame, I am afraid that it will not be long before his knowledge reserves will be sucked dry.
Ignoring the headache, Wang Fang continued: "How is the county seat, have you found a place to hide?" ”
"I found it well, rented three small courtyards, each with 400 wen per month, two of which have already shipped a batch of goods over, and once there is a problem with the channels outside the county, it can also ensure that the supply of goods in the county will not be cut off."
After nodding, he said with relief: "It looks like you can already do it." ”
As he spoke, he said again: "Inform me that except for the sweet potatoes that have not yet grown on the hillside, all the sweet potatoes in the paddy field that have not yet grown will be destroyed, and those that can be harvested will be harvested, and those that cannot be harvested will be dug up and drowned on the riverbank." ”
"This?"
Five hundred acres of paddy fields, close to 1.5 million catties of output, just one catty, worth 1,500 taels, and at the moment, Wang Fang actually wanted to drown in the water.
He Yongding wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Fang: "Just do it, for our safety, we must drown it." ”
He Yongding took people away, and when the other party walked away, Wang Fang beckoned to Manniang on the side: "Are you sure Yang Shiyi is credible?" ”
"You want to call Mei'er, Wang Mei'er."
Glaring at Wang Fang speechlessly, after countless corrections, this guy still couldn't change it.
"Of course it's credible, do you think the old lady's means is to fart and not succeed, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are many starvations in the palace, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the thin horse and his party have been inherited for thousands of years, if there is no means, the Qinglou Jiyuan on both sides of Qinhuai would have been extinct by the major nobles and talents."
After nodding, Wang Fang said again: "Let him go with me, others are not suitable for contact with these for the time being." ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Fang frowned for a moment and said, "Let the dumb man follow, isn't he your third disciple, he should have also learned some methods." ”
As she spoke, Manniang snapped her fingers and said, "Not only the dumb, blind, lame, and deaf can go with you, but the good apprentices I picked will always come in handy." ”
"No, just one dumb person, plus me and my second brother, a total of four people, almost enough."
"Okay, listen to you."
Manniang didn't deny it, just nodded and smiled: "I'm going to kill a few this time." ”
"If you can kill as many as you can, you have to hit them in pain, otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure our safety."
"It's a pity that this valley can't be used for at least a year."
"There's no pity, when we're done, we can buy another valley when the time comes."
"Okay, you can go on your way, and the rest of the old lady will help you watch."
Waving goodbye to Manniang, Wang Fang led people to leave from the valley, and there was still half a month to go, and in this half a month, Wang Fang needed to kill, and even kept killing.
At the same time, as soon as they walked out of the valley, the two brothers Yang Rong and Yang Yutang caught up and said, "Are you going to do it?" ”
Wang Fang was silent, and Yang Rong cried: "That's the enemy of my family, my father and mother were killed by them, why did you avoid us and not let us do it." ”
glanced blankly at the little girl who was just ten years old, and took her there, is it really okay?
"That's my father, that's my mother, if you don't let me do it, I'll shake your affairs out."
