There is no way, the original owner has very little land and manpower, and the Zhou State itself is also narrow and sparsely populated, and the largest existing landlord and slave owner is her son Zhou Jingwang.

Ding Yun does not take land and population from her son.

You can't rob the land of the common people.

At present, her development cannot be separated from land and population, and before Luoyang can become a financial and trade center that can attract a large number of people to come and trade, she can only suffer her own son.

Besides, Ding Yun is not for nothing, hard!

She won't give money!

Later, when the whole of Luoyang developed into a commercial and trade center, many merchants would transport all kinds of things here to sell, and then buy things to bring back to sell, and Ding Yun would not need to continue to buy her son's land and slaves.

First, she can outsource industries that require a lot of land and directly purchase the corresponding products, and secondly, after the business develops, as long as Ding Yun shows that she wants more labor, there will naturally be people selling labor.

Form a relatively balanced supply and demand relationship.

I can't do it now, mainly because Luoyang hasn't developed yet, she has nowhere to buy it if she wants to, no one has specially transported a large number of slaves to sell, and if she wants to hire ordinary people, no one is willing to accept employment.

Because the current situation is that the big nobles basically use slaves to work, Ding Yun said that they are hired, and ordinary people do not believe it, and they are even worried that she will turn them into slaves through employment, this inherent concept will not be changed in a while, so they can only use slaves first.

Compared with ordinary citizens, slaves were more satisfied, and food and clothing were enough to make them loyal.

As Ding Yun successfully obtained a certain amount of land and slaves from her son, she immediately began to continue to expand production and increase the number of people who defended her property.

That is, to train their own private soldiers in an alternative way.

Without enough armed forces, Ding Yun really couldn't feel at ease, after all, if she hadn't been wary of those big nobles and made adequate preparations, I am afraid that her workshop and workers would have encountered a great crisis.

Although there are no secret recipes in the workshop.

But if something happens, isn't it troublesome?

After that, there was a long period of development of Ding Yun, and the dissemination and fermentation of refined salt soap and other substances.

Except for a small number of more reserved aristocrats, who just bought some for their own use, most of the remaining aristocrats and merchants bought a large number of products from Ding Yun's four stores, and then shipped them out for sale, among which the sales of seasonings such as refined salt and daily chemical products such as soap were the highest, followed by pen, ink, paper, inkstone and glass products, and the worst sales were toilet paper.

People seem to be shy to mention it.

Coupled with the low price, high transportation costs and other factors, the sales almost is reasonable.

But no matter how bad the sales are, it is not that they can't be sold at all, but more or less they are still sold, and these things are transported by merchants under the control of many merchants and nobles, which are rapidly centered in Luoyang, centered on the Zhou State, and spread to other countries on the border.

And quickly caused a rush to buy.

It can be said that wherever things are sold, there is a wave of heated discussions, and then there are nobles who simply buy things to enjoy, and there are also nobles who dig deep into the source of things, and send their subordinates to Luoyang, the capital of Zhou State, to purchase and join the ranks of selling these things.

By the time the news spread all over the countries and the things were sold all over the countries, the caravans that went to Luoyang to purchase were already in an endless stream.

The most important thing is that Ding Yun is still constantly launching new products, and the new products will further attract more businessmen to come, those businessmen must not be willing to come with empty cars, after all, they are coming, don't bring something over, and don't waste empty cars, so a new commercial finance and trade center will not slowly take shape?

As long as Ding Yun has always maintained the regional characteristics of no one has me, and people have my essence, then Luoyang will inevitably develop more and more prosperous, prosperous to the extreme use of land, expand the city to the extreme, use the resources of the surrounding countries to support this city, and develop and grow.

Of course, this is only a future goal, and for now, Luoyang has just gained a bit of popularity and assets.

Ding Yun has just revealed that he lacks labor.

There is a shortage of food and other materials.

The real great development must wait for those merchants to bring enough labor and food before it can be officially carried out, otherwise it will not be enough to repair the palace, let alone repair the entire Luoyang City, and even expand the entire Luoyang City.

……

Qi country, the national capital HD.

Since some merchants transported the refined salt back to Qi to sell, the court of Qi has argued on this issue, arguing about whether it is possible to imitate the refined salt process, and arguing about where the Zhou State got these refined salts.

Do you want to never supply ordinary salt to Zhou Guo again, and make an appropriate price reduction for green salt?

The salt industry is so important to Qi that the annual income of the salt industry accounts for more than 30% of the total income of Qi country, and if this part of the income is lost, all aspects of Qi will be affected, and the ability to provide disaster relief will be weakened.

Hence the argument to the end.

Qi decided to take a three-pronged approach.

The first is to order people to study how to imitate refined salt, the second is to send people to Zhou to explore the situation, the most important thing is to get the secret recipe of refined salt, and the third is to reduce the price of green salt.

No way, in the past, green salt was mainly sold to nobles from all over the world, so the price was naturally not too low, but with the birth of refined salt, everyone went to buy refined salt, but all the nobles who could afford to buy refined salt were basically reluctant to buy their green salt.

At most, buy a little brushing to clean your mouth.

If the price is not reduced, the remaining inventory of green salt in China is estimated to be smashed in the hand, as for whether it will continue to produce green salt in the future, it depends on how many people buy it, if there are too few people to buy, the profit is too low, it is better to directly cut the entire production line, and only sell coarse salt in the future.

At least coarse salt can still take the road of small profits and quick turnover.

Of course, the attitude of several other salt-producing countries is basically similar to that of Qi State, paying more attention to the refined salt sold by Ding Yun, and constantly sending people to Luoyang of Zhou State to try to investigate, trying to figure out the secret recipe of refined salt.

As for the secret recipe for other things, it is secondary, it belongs to the best that can be obtained, and it doesn't hurt if you can't get it, because salt is really too important, no matter which vassal country it is, salt is a proper strategic material.

There is no monarch with the slightest ability.

The importance of table salt can be overlooked.

In the end, Ding Yun was annoyed by them, so he simply opened an auction directly, auctioned off the secret recipe for purifying ordinary coarse salt into refined salt, and then restricted the purchase of salt sold in his store, only allowing Zhou Guo's own people to buy, and each household was limited to one pound per month.

It can be regarded as exchanging refined salt for a period of peaceful development.
