What appeared in front of the core members of the business alliance was a golden fluffy thing, which looked like the meat floss used by the rich and noble people's seasoning, but they vaguely smelled the salty smell of the seawater, and immediately understood that it was fish floss.

Lu Bin shook his head slightly, reached out and took a pair of long chopsticks in the air, and pushed aside the pile of freshly made fish floss, revealing the thing that was really promoted and introduced below, salted fish.

"People who beg for life by the sea know that it is not easy to preserve fresh fish, the South China Sea of the East China Sea is vast, and the aquatic seafood is almost endless. It's a pity that the fresh fish in the coastal area can't be sold at a price, and the inland transshipment takes too long, and the fish will become stinky and tasty in half a day at the earliest. ”

Therefore, the province salts fresh fish and makes salted fish and fish floss, which is preserved for at least a month, and can be transported not only to coastal provinces, but also to several inland provinces. Salted fish has been salted, both salty and meaty, compared with the official salt with a lot of impurities, I don't know how much wins, and you can avoid the crime of buying private salt, the two are convenient, isn't it beautiful. ”

Everyone here is not stupid and short-sighted, and when they were told by the immortals who entered the world, they immediately realized that they had a keen sense of smell and immediately smelled the business opportunities.

Lu Bin stretched out his hand and pointed to the map: "Salted fish production, transportation, and sales, you have discussed your own regulations." The climate on Qiongya Island is hot, which is most suitable for salt production, and it is essential to expand the salt pans. ”

"This road estimates that the weather is suitable, and the daily yield of coarse salt per mu is 100 catties, and the impurities will be removed later, and the value can be at least quadrupled into snow salt. Take some of it and sell it with regular salt. This line of work is not monolithic, squeeze in first and see the wind. Presumably, the old man of the Huizhou merchant gang would not be so unwise and rashly start a war with the Cantonese and Fujian merchants. ”

The core members of the business alliance have long known the huge profits of the salt industry and the luxury of the salt merchants in Yangzhou, which have not declined after two dynasties.

If this can be done, the fishermen along the coasts of Qiongya, Guangfu and southern Fujian will be blessed, and they will not have to bury the fresh fish caught in the net every day and bury them in the ground for composting.

Lu Bin took the opportunity to inculcate his own way of building a country through commerce: "Farmers dig in the fields, except for land rent, taxes and all kinds of donations, there can be a few big money left in a year, it is better to gather the surplus population and specialize in drying salt and making salted fish." We should follow the example of the dock in Fangchenggang, build a large workshop on Qiongya Island, start production every day, win by quantity, and dump at a low price!"

The core members of the business alliance learned a few new terms in the mouth of the immortal who entered the WTO, although they didn't understand the meaning, but they would immediately understand the meaning of the words.

"On Qiongya Island, the confluence of Han and Li has become the trend of the times, and Li women are good at cotton and wool weaving, and it is a pity to teach their husbands and children at home. The climate of the island, planting cotton is not the most suitable, but weaving cotton cloth, is everyone will, idle these labor is not wasted, everyone here to discuss the charter, in order to lure it, can be imperceptibly, dissipate the gap between the two races. Let's make money together!"

Lu Bin pointed at the country with his finger, and grasped the dominance of the annual meeting of the business alliance in his hands, others did not think so far, most people were really in awe of the immortals, after all, they were the masters of the world who crushed the pirates of the East China Sea with their own strength, and they did not dare to put their beaks at will.

Moreover, Lu Bin's strategy of sharing interests is in line with the expectations of everyone here, that is, the southern Fujian businessmen who have just "joined" are eager and eager, not to mention the big shopkeepers of the eight families in Zhuji Lane and the thirteen banks of Guangfu, who can make money, and no one wants to be one step behind.

Lu Bin smiled in his heart: "China's thousands of years of traditional small-scale peasant economy, self-sufficient manor and rural model, will definitely not be able to compete with the large-scale commodity export of business alliances." ”

"The gentry class is not monolithic, and I will divide them into the new industrial and commercial class by the commodity economy of large industrial production. It is not impossible that these nouveau riches, who have mastered the capacity of industrial production and amassed huge wealth, will naturally gain more profit and get their hands on the power held by scholars and nobles, and even the bloodstained crown of barbarians. ”

"I vaguely hear that the great era of turbulence is coming, so let the storm come more violently!"

The Lingnan Mountains are isolated from the cold wave in the north, so that there is no wind and snow in the middle of winter in Guangfu, although the temperature is still steadily dropping, but the business alliance that controls the current situation is all gearing up, ready to create a career according to the guidance of the immortal who entered the WTO.

Coastal fishermen know that the fresh fish they catch every day do not have to be wasted in the field to compost, and they pounce on it with one mind, and almost the whole family mobilizes to produce at least three quintals of salted fish every day.

Of course, in order to be safe, the name of the goods released to the outside world is dried fish, and the taste is much lighter. The traditional Lingnan Sanzhou waterway in Guangfu is naturally transported by heroes on the rivers and lakes, and is specially transported to inland places such as the two lakes.

After a small amount of stocking, the dried fish is not only fresh and fragrant meat, but also has a salted salty taste, which is quite popular with the poor people. They could not afford to buy official salt or private salt, and the salt they found on the dried fish and tasted the meat was of course extremely popular, and the market immediately opened.

Due to the characteristics of the extended preservation time of dried fish, the eyes of the astute merchants have long been not satisfied with the two lakes, but to open up the doors of various places and sell to other inland provinces.

According to rumors, the farthest was even sold to Wusizang through the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which made Lu Bin have to admire the businessman's profit-seeking nature, which can overcome the barriers of thousands of mountains and rivers and extend his tentacles to any corner.

Some fishermen in Qiongya-Guangfu and other places took huge risks in the early stage to put their whole family labor into the production of dried fish, and successfully obtained rich returns.

According to Lu Bin's understanding, it is from a poor proletarian to a rich family with a small property: "This is the first rich to drive the later to become rich, and everyone to prosper together." Rich in the people, the people have money, only then can they have the spare power to consume and buy, the cotton cloth of Qiongya Island, the silk of Guangfu, there is a market nearby. The Li Min women were able to come out of the village and support themselves and subsidize their families. The confluence of Han and Li to dispel the gap is no longer an empty talk. ”

The theory of the true wealth of the immortals who joined the WTO appeased the traditional gentry and prevented them from resentment, greatly encouraged the emerging industrial and commercial class, especially the business alliance led by the Eight Masters of Zhuji Lane and the Thirteen Banks of Guangfu, and was deeply supported by the coastal fishermen of Qiongya-Guangfu.

With the vigorous promotion of dried fish, more high-grade fish floss, the production process has also spread out from Lu Bin's hands, and the business alliance is only responsible for the acquisition, and it is easy to gather with small profits...... It may also be called buying people's hearts.

After all, with the rapid accumulation of wealth and the increasing number of new industries, single-family workshops can still survive, not to mention large factories that can absorb water like a sponge and can accommodate a large number of idle laborers.

Lu Bin took advantage of the trend to launch the sugar industry, the natural tropical climate of Qiongya Island, planting sugarcane has a unique advantage, but sugar has been a high value-added profiteering industry since ancient times, he was not willing to give it to others, so he chose the right person among the outer disciples and was responsible for the operation and production.

Hydraulic press to make and take out sugarcane juice, boil it into syrup, remove impurities, and cool it to make sugar cubes and brown sugar. A further process, that is, the secret recipe mastered by Lu Bin, uses the adsorption characteristics of activated carbon to decolorize brown sugar to make white sugar, and according to the specifications, there are granular snow sugar, and even powdered frosted sugar, and the price has doubled one after another.

More classified processing, made into a variety of candied fruits, jelly beans, sugar people, sugar gourds and other snacks, it didn't take long to become popular in Qiongya-Guangfu everywhere, becoming a must-have New Year's holiday.

The new order dominated by business alliances became the norm in Qiongya-Cangfu, bureaucratic capital swelled dramatically, and the new industrial and commercial class and the growing number of factory owners began to collude with each other.

The good news came one after another, the Francis colonists in Indochina, under the suppression of the locals and the commercial alliance armed groups, finally could not maintain the situation, and were forced to shrink their forces, occupy several key areas with dangerous terrain, and enter the stage of strategic defense.

As for their reinforcements, the fleet of the East India Company from the Kingdom of Britean, due to the heavy losses in the Battle of the Gulf of Siam, had no motivation to continue, and even spit out a lot of benefits in exchange, and fled back to the company's headquarters in the anger of the South Sea Whip.

Emissaries from Annam, Vientiane, and Chenla followed the fleets home for the New Year to the prosperous provincial capital of Quang Province, where they traded tributary according to international practice, but not with the officials of the barbarian dynasty, but with prestigious commercial alliances.

After Lu Bin learned of this, he couldn't help laughing: "The sacrifices of many people have not been in vain, and the alliance has become a big trend!"
