The scent of small mandarins fills the room and is evocative.

Li Xiao didn't drink a sip, but Li Jinglong and Jian Yi drank several large cups in a row.

This time, in addition to the small green mandarins, there are also broken silver.

"This Pu-erh tea is called crushed silver, with a strong jasmine fragrance and a unique taste, using high-quality aged Pu-erh tea as the base, coupled with natural jasmine fragrance, which gives it a unique aroma and taste. Jasmine not only adds to the taste and depth of the tea leaves, but also aids digestion. ”

Li Xiao has launched a new tea product.

This is a high price for Jian Yi and Li Jinglong.

Jian Yi threw the tea leaves in the teapot, and then found the tea leaves bubbling, so he asked curiously, "Why are the tea leaves bubbling??" ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Natural pectin can breathe."

When the two heard the words, they understood in seconds, like nectar.

It's a nice thing, and there's natural pectin!

"Do you think it's just small mandarins and broken silver?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "In addition to the agency of Xiaoqingkan, there is also the agency of Beiping Cloth Company, and the Nanjing agency of safflower oil, wind oil essence, toilet paper, glass, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, salad oil, etc., will come over one after another." ”

In recent years, in order to prevent Beiping's goods from impacting the markets of other places, Li Xiao did not allow Beiping's goods to be sold.

Even if someone buys the goods in Beiping by train and secretly sells them, the profit is not much, and it will not become a scale.

But now it is different, the first is that the goods in Beiping are already in short supply, and the market must be developed.

Second, he wants to use the products of these factories to hit the market in Nanjing.

He sells these things in Nanjing, and other people's businesses don't have to be done.

For example, the cloth shop, to obtain the right to act as an agent, the price of purchasing goods from Beiping is cheaper than the cloth woven from the local cloth in Nanjing, how to play?

Whoever can obtain the agency right of the cloth shop, who can obtain the right to purchase large quantities, the right to sell locally, and who can eat meat, are all things that Li Xiao said.

Li Xiao didn't want to kill all these families, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't do it, he would have done it a long time ago if he could kill Zhu Yuanzhang.

He's going to make a change in these families.

The transformation from the landlord class to the capitalist class was carried out.

Merchants are much easier to manage, and the land is naturally managed by the state.

"I see"

Jian Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Now those big families, the older generation is more stubborn, but the children of the new generation are more open-minded, and the national teacher will release these agents, which may make them internally divided, which family will be obedient first, and the alliance of those families will naturally collapse." ”

After listening, Li Jinglong was surprised: "Gao, an absolute high move, you can let them scramble to join us without blood!" ”

"That's right, do what you like."

Li Xiao smiled slightly, looked at the two of them, and said, "What do you two think?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "I think it can! I even want to get involved. ”

Jianyi: "I think I can too!" ”

Li Xiao smiled lightly: "Okay, are you going to have a meeting?" ”

Li Jinglong: "Meeting, what meeting?" ”

Li Xiao: "The meeting that collects your family's land, you don't think that the agency is given for free, right?" Of course, it is to exchange the field. ”

Li Jinglong: "."

That's it.

Li Xiao began to send people to spread the news and began to prepare for the conference.

This congress is aimed at all the incumbent officials of the Southern Zhili.

Of course, the officials handed in first, then the Haoqiang family, and finally the people, so they had to come in order.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed.

On the other hand, the industrial park of Xiaodong Village has been flourishing.

Xiaodongcun Industrial Park now has a total of five projects, preserved egg workshop, toilet paper workshop, large chicken farm, large duck farm, and mushroom breeding workshop.

Among them, the faster effect is the preserved egg workshop, and the preserved egg business has begun to make a profit.

The recruits are more than a dozen local villagers who are busy working in it, and they are paid every day, which is similar to farming, and of course they are willing to do this.

Several other breeding projects are still underway at the site.

The people who used it were all recruited from the surrounding villages, and there were about 300 people, all of whom were farmers or tenants.

These peasant households and tenants have little land in their hands, but their families have a large population, so they are all living in a tight situation, and when they hear that there is work to do and money to take, they rush to come over, and soon they are overcrowded.

Taken together, more than 1,000 jobs have been created by the projects, most of whom are tenants of landlords' families.

This is not worth mentioning for the entire Nanzhili, but it is not a small number for the surrounding villages, and many Haoqiang families have already felt the crisis, if everyone leaves, the land will be barren.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that if cultivated land was not cultivated for more than 3 consecutive years, it could be recognized as wasteland and terra nullius.

As long as whoever cultivates the Borderlands on it, the land belongs to that person.

"In charge, in charge! The first batch of toilet paper was successfully made! ”

At this time, the workers in the paper mill successfully developed toilet paper under the leadership of the workshop leader from Beiping.

"Succeeded??"

Yu Qian stayed here day and night to supervise the work, and not long ago he fell asleep tiredly, on a small bamboo bed, after hearing the sound, he immediately jumped off the bed and rushed over.

What catches your eye is a large piece of toilet paper that has just been produced from the growth line.

The production process of toilet paper is actually not difficult, the material used here is wood, cut and crushed into pulp with tools, and then enter the paper machine for pulping, and then enter the paper machine for pulping, and the most important thing is to add sugarcane, the fibers in it can make the paper soft and flexible, and it is not easy to break.

This simple method produces toilet paper, similar to the one in the 90s, with a less white surface and a slight yellowishness.

One of the most difficult points is the cost problem, only by reducing the cost can we produce cheap toilet paper, and this is the effect of the factory, and then there is disinfection, if you don't disinfect, you can't use it, it's easy to get infected.

"It worked, it really worked!!"

Yu Qian was very excited, and the production that took half a month of overtime was finally produced.

Then, his bet with the Tang family will also be successful.

Soon, the toilet paper enters the next workshop link, which is cut into squares with a cutter, and then enters the packaging process.

"Master Huang, how much does this toilet paper cost per pack now?"

Yu Qian immediately looked at Master Huang from Beiping and asked.

Master Huang said: "The cost is still a little high, because the factory is relatively small, the equipment is not perfect, and the scale is not large. ”

"Sanwen, Sanwen is also very cheap, but it still meets my expectations." Yu Qian raised his eyebrows and said: "Three cents, the ex-factory price is set at five cents, and the price of such a pack of Tang family's straw paper is one hundred cents, and the price is already a great advantage." ”

After speaking, Yu Qian asked again: "What about the output?" ”

"Yield."

Master Huang pondered for a moment and gave the answer: "According to the current situation, the daily output is only 1,000 catties. One pound is about three packs, that is, the output of three thousand packs a day, according to the ex-factory price of your five cents, the profit is two cents, and the profit is six thousand cents a day, that is, six taels of silver, one hundred and eighty taels of silver a month, for such a small factory, it is very good. After all, it also feeds a factory with seventy or eighty people. ”

Master Huang is also the project leader in Beiping, and these simple accounts can still be calculated.

And the net profit of one hundred and eighty taels a month is also a lot, if such a small factory is opened by a private person, it will be an income of one thousand eight hundred taels of silver a year, and nine out of nine people in the Ming Dynasty will be beaten.

"A Thousand Pounds"

Yu Qian frowned slightly, and said, "It's not enough, the output is not enough to eat the share of the Tang family. At least five times more! ”

Master Huang was surprised: "Five-fold? Are you serious? ”

Yu Qian said: "Of course it's serious. ”

Master Huang said: "It's not that it can't be done, the space is enough, and the manpower can be called, but the problem is that the materials are not enough, our wood is bought from the county, and it takes time to transport it, and we have too much volume, and we have to buy cheap pine, this kind of wood is used to build houses on the market, and it is not enough to buy." ”

"That's a problem." Yu Qian fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Master Huang pointed in the direction of the southeast and said, "Isn't there a mountain over there?" I think there is a lot of wood on the mountain, and if you can get the approval of the household department, allowing us to cut a large amount of wood on the mountain and use local materials, it will be much more convenient. ”

"That's a good idea."

Yu Qian's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Whether it works or not, I'll try it first." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the door and went out, rode his horse and ran towards Nanjing City.

This horse was bought by Yu Qian with almost all his savings in order to facilitate his errands.

Soon Yu Qian arrived in Nanjing City and went directly to Fengtian Temple, which was the location of the Shang Dynasty and the headquarters of the law change.

I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect it to be done in a while, and the logging documents of the household department soon arrived in Yu Qian's hands, and the felling fees needed to be paid.

These officials were all Li Xiao's confidants, and after listening to Yu Qian's appeal, they quickly handled it.

"Sure enough, the change of law is now a green light to do everything in Nanjing, unimpeded."

Yu Qian took the paperwork and left, excited in his heart.

"However, the procedures are so simple, I am afraid that it is also easy to breed corruption, for example, if I have the logging paperwork, I can secretly sell the timber for profit. Forget it, this is not something I should think about, I still do the things in front of me well, and the things in front of me will be well handled, and other things will be arranged. ”

Thinking like this, Yu Qian rode back to the factory on a fast horse.

In the following time, Yu Qian recruited many lumberjacks and went into the mountains to cut wood

As a result, the production of toilet paper began to rise significantly.

Meanwhile.

Yu Qian has rented a shop in Nanjing, preparing to sell toilet paper by himself, and the factory will sell it directly.

Generally speaking, the factory does not participate in the transportation and sales links, and the agent sends a car to pull the goods out of the factory and then distribute them to the following stores, which are the final sales terminals.

But Yu Qian is not in business after all, and he doesn't know much about the doorways.

At the same time, the agency power of the factory cannot be given indiscriminately, in case someone else takes the ex-factory price of five cents, sells it at a high price, and makes a lot of money, it will not be able to achieve his goal.

Simply, just use the fool's method and sell it yourself.

The ex-factory cost of a pack of toilet paper is three cents, and it should be about the same if it is sold for ten cents.

And ten cents is definitely a blast to the current price of straw paper on the market.

The price of such a large pack of four-tael straw paper on the market is 100 yuan, and such a price can only be used by a solid family, and it is impossible for ordinary people to wipe their buttocks with straw paper.

Soon, this small shop was set up in the city of Nanjing.

However, in order to save costs, the geographical location is relatively remote, and no one came in when it opened a few days ago.

However, this small problem is not difficult to fall on Yu Qian.

He immediately sent more than a dozen people, holding billboards with black spots on a red background that read "Qingfeng brand toilet paper ten cents a pack", and shook around the city of Nanjing.

"What? What kind of paper is toilet paper? ”

The people quickly noticed the eye-catching billboards, but they didn't know what toilet paper was.

And the people sent out by Yu Qian began to explain that toilet paper can be used to go to the toilet and wipe your mouth, clean and hygienic, whiter than straw paper, hygienic and soft.

Straw paper, on the other hand, is paper made of straw, which has a yellow color and a rough texture.

Compared with the two, it is clear which is better and which is bad.

These advertisers sent out carried samples with them for everyone to watch.

Soon, the people were shocked.

"Is this straw?"

"No, it's toilet paper, it's better than straw paper, and it's sterilized, which means there's no dirt, it's the same as a washed towel."

"Then this is a good thing, is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's cheaper than straw paper, it's a big bag for ten cents, and the location is in the easternmost shop of Rouge Fang in the east of the city."

Advertisers also answer the questions of the people.

Soon, Yu Qian's shop came one after another, and it began to be overcrowded in a few days, so toilet paper became popular in Nanjing.

Many people with good families are vying to buy it, after all, they are reluctant to buy straw paper for 100 yuan, but toilet paper for 10 yuan can still be luxurious.

After all, everyone can see that this toilet paper is much better than straw paper, soft as cloth, more comfortable than straw paper to touch, and straw paper hands.

In turn, those wealthy families also began to buy toilet paper.

These wealthy families themselves use toilet paper, which is naturally from Beiping, but the price is very expensive, and it takes one or two silver to buy a pack.

The main thing is that the trains in Peiping do not transport such price-protected goods to the outside world, so as not to hit the foreign market, because there is no agency.

The toilet paper bought by these wealthy families is smuggled and parallel imports, so the price is as high as one tael, and even then it is still in short supply.

Now, there are some in Nanjing City for sale.

And it only costs ten cents a pack, which is about the same price as Peking toilet paper, and the quality is not much better.

In an instant, Nanjing paper was hot, toilet paper became popular in the city, and straw paper became waste paper that no one cared about.

Meanwhile.

Tang family, main house hall.

The old man of the Tang family was drinking tea and talking to the second son next to him.

The second son of the Tang family smiled and said: "Dad, I have visited all those shops a few days ago, and they only need to sell them at a price of 30 wen to get a profit, and the price of straw paper in our house has dropped from 100 wen to 20 wen." This direct cost price is sold to those shops, and they buy it in large quantities. In this way, Yu Qian's bet will definitely be lost. He said to himself that if he loses, he will never step past our Tang family, so this time the national teacher's first abacus against our Tang family will fail! ”

It turned out that the last time Tang Tianbao revealed the news that the Tang family would be the first to be targeted by the national teacher, this old man only signed a gambling contract with Yu Qian after he knew about it.

The purpose is to make Li Xiao's purpose frustrated, and there is no way to start.

There is a way that the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, even if the resistance to change the law was successful this time, if the first one was used as cannon fodder, it would not be beneficial.

That's why Old Man Tang agreed so happily.

"Yu Qian is really an idiot."

The old man of the Tang family said with a smile: "The plan of the national teacher is aimed at us, but the people sent out are useless, as long as our family can avoid its edge, it is really good." Our Tang family has been making straw paper for so many years, the guy is experienced, the cost is already very low, this time he does not seek profits, sells at cost price, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to make straw paper cheaper than this. It's really humiliating, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

The second son of the Tang family said with a smile: "Dad is right, Dad is really wise, sacrificing small profits and seeking the overall situation." ”

The old man of the Tang family smiled slightly, crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea, looking like he was holding the chance to win.

Not long after, a subordinate hurriedly came to report.

"Newspaper - master, many shopkeepers of grocery stores in Nanjing City came to meet the master."

The old man of the Tang family asked curiously, "Huh? How did they come all of a sudden, and how many? ”

The subordinate said: "Fifty or sixty families came. ”

The old man of the Tang family was puzzled: "Strange, what are they all doing here, don't they do business?" ”

The subordinate said: "Master, they seem to be saying that they are coming to return the goods, saying that the price is too cheap this time, and there are too many purchases, and they want to return them."

This time, the Tang family made a profit, so those Nanjing City grocery store shopkeepers bought a large amount from the Tang family and hoarded a lot of straw paper, anyway, this thing can't be broken, so it is sold slowly.

As a result, as soon as the toilet paper came out, they thought that so much straw paper was going to be smashed in their hands, so they wanted to return it.

"Return? It's never been before."

The old man of the Tang family was a little puzzled, thought about it, and waved his hand: "Invite them all in, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate arched his hand and hurried down the mountain.

At this time, the old man of the Tang family began to feel that something was wrong, after all, there had never been such a thing.

Those grocery stores in Nanjing City are all his old cooperation, old acquaintances, and they shouldn't suddenly return the goods, and so many people come together.

"Oh no, careless!"

The old man of the Tang family was suddenly shocked in his heart, and said loudly: "Could it be that Yu Qian used some means, could it be that he used the power of the national teacher to forcibly let those shop owners not be allowed to sell my Tang family's goods?" If that's the case, then Yu Qian and the national teacher are really dogs!! ”
