Chapter 155: Yun Ze's Layout

Yun Ze hurriedly took the three daughters to the living room of the fiefdom, and there were nearly twenty people sitting in it at this time, about a dozen people on one side, wearing all kinds of strange clothes, led by Zabe.

On the other side were the Jing Dynasty people in gorgeous costumes, who were looking at the aliens on the opposite side at this time, and they didn't know what to whisper there.

Zabe looked at these people and snorted disdainfully, obviously he was a little unhappy with what they were saying. After all, no one will be happy to be judged there.

It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that this is Yunze's place, Zabe and those aliens might have to fight with the merchants on the Jing Dynasty's side.

None of these foreign traders, who are good at stubble, otherwise, they are in the layman, and it is estimated that they would have swallowed all the bones long ago.

When they saw Yun Ze coming in, the people on both sides immediately looked over, except for Za Bei, everyone else was stunned, they didn't seem to expect that the person who had recently stirred up the entire Jing Dynasty's business world was so young.

After all, in the entire Jing Dynasty now, who doesn't know that there is a strange merchant in Danyang Mansion who has strange goods in his hands. Like what glass, perfume, soap, high wine, six-color fine cloth and so on!

And, of course, refined salt, and recently porcelain! After Yun Ze got on the right track in the kiln, he began to produce porcelain.

With the advanced technology he knows, the porcelain produced is of course second to none. In addition to porcelain, Yunze also fired a lot of floor tiles.

These are all good things, and if you want to make more money and open trade routes, porcelain and other things are essential. Everything in his hands has a fatal temptation for this dynasty.

"Yun Gongzi...... You're finally back...... According to your request, I have already brought ten truckloads of wool, and in addition, a hundred cattle and sheep have been transported first, and they are still on the way. As for the horses, there are fewer of them. ”

When Zabe saw Yun Ze, he hurriedly came up enthusiastically and gave Yun Ze a hug, and when he talked about the horses, his face was a little embarrassed.

Horses are also controlled goods, and the court does not prohibit private trading, but there are restrictions on the number, especially for merchants from the Mongolian ethnic group like them. Commercial taxes are heavier.

The commercial tax on cattle, sheep and other items is not too high, but the commercial tax on horses, salt, and iron is frighteningly high.

It's not that he doesn't want to transport more horses to Yun Ze, in addition to the high commercial tax, another reason is that the border gate will not let so many horses go at all.

Unless you can bribe the border generals, it is possible to bring more horses. This may not have been imagined by Zabe.

"The matter of horses, don't ......be in a hurry" Yun Ze smiled at Zabe, he was going to find an opportunity to ask Luo Xuan if he knew any border generals, if he could, let him introduce Zabe.

At that time, Yun Ze still wants to prepare more for this thing, not only because of his development needs, but also because he also wants to train a group of cavalry.

He remembered that in the Jin Dynasty in his previous life, the most powerful was the cavalry, the so-called invincible, which was the cavalry of the Jin people.

If the cavalry is well trained, it will definitely be a great weapon in this era. In ancient times, most of the time in warfare, it was the cavalry that decided the victory.

Of course, when thinking of cavalry, Yun Ze thought of special forces, and special forces also appeared in ancient times, but compared to modern special forces, they should be worse.

In the matter of special forces, Yun Ze decided to find time and let Han Long complete it. He will give you the training plan and the requirements.

If he can train a special forces unit of 1,000 people, then he will definitely be able to make himself invincible in the future.

"Young Master Yun, these are the merchants of the Western Regions that I brought, and they want the refined salt, porcelain, glass, and cloth in your hands...... They brought spices from the Western Regions......"

Zabe understood the meaning of Yun Ze's words, and did not mention the matter of horses again, but introduced Hu Shang to Yun Ze that he brought.

"Yun Gongzi, be polite......" Several Hu merchants hurriedly nodded to Yun Ze, with a hint of respect on their expressions.

Although Yun Ze looks very young, looking at his calm and unhurried appearance, these Hu merchants dare not underestimate Yun Ze.

Those Jing merchants on the side were originally a little dissatisfied with Yun Ze's conversation with Zabie, but seeing Yun Ze's extraordinary bearing, the unhappiness in the hearts of several people was suddenly suppressed.

In addition, they came to beg Yun Ze to do business, of course, it was impossible to be unhappy with Yun Ze. Seeing that Yun Ze was greeting those Hu merchants, they were waiting quietly here.

Yun Ze looked at Ye Ziyan, Luo Yunniang, and Luo Yunxi behind him at this time, and he smiled; "Sister Ziyan, you take the others to see our workshop, and let them see the new porcelain and floor tiles...... Let's talk about cooperation! ”

When Ye Ziyan heard this, she immediately understood that Yun Ze should want to discuss other business with these Hus. She nodded knowingly, and went out with Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi with those Jing merchants.

Yun Ze hugged his fists at the group of Jing merchants and said, "Everyone, Yun is slacking off, let my sister Ye and Mrs. Ye take you to visit the fief first." When we have time, we will talk about cooperation,"

Seeing Yun Ze say this, a group of Jing businessmen hurriedly waved their hands to say that it was okay, they went out excitedly, these people came to talk about business, of course, they also wanted to see the real thing. Compared with talking about business, looking at the real thing first makes them more concerned and excited.

When the Hu merchants heard this, they were a little moved, they obviously understood Yun Ze's words, and they had talked to Yun Ze in the language of the Jing Dynasty before.

They obviously came to Jing for a long time to do business, and they were very proficient in the Jing Dynasty language.

Yun Ze saw a few people who were moved, and smiled: "Everyone, don't worry, I will take you to visit later, but before that, I want to talk to you about cooperation!" ”

There are still a lot of specialties in the Western Regions, such as melons, fruits and vegetables, many of which are not available in the Jing Dynasty, and the restaurant he is opening now wants to make business more prosperous, and needs new varieties of melons, fruits and vegetables.

Of course, if these fruits and vegetables can be popularized in the Jing Dynasty, it will also be a good thing for the benefit of the people. Of course, Yun Ze thought more than that. What he wanted was to lay out the layout in the Western Regions.

There are a lot of minerals in that place, such as iron, copper, and coal. Of course, what Yunze wants most is saltpeter and sulfur ore. If only you could get these minerals.

Then he doesn't have to worry about running out of gunpowder. Several years of development, a reserve of sufficient gunpowder. Not to mention sweeping the world, but it will definitely end the turbulent era that occurred in the Jing Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

After having a goal, Yun Ze's cooperation with these talks is much simpler, and the things he needs are all available in the Western Regions, even cattle, sheep and horses.

Yun Ze also ordered cotton from one of the Tibetan merchants. This thing is not much planted in the Jing Dynasty now, but there is a large area of cultivation in Tibet.

Yun Ze is very simple to negotiate business with these people, no gold or silver is needed, just barter. He also asked for more things than others. Being able to trade what they don't need for what they want, these businessmen are certainly happy to do so.

As for Yun Ze's desire to open a mine, he didn't mention it for the time being, but decided to let those merchants go to the mine by themselves. At that time, you only need to take the semi-finished saltpeter and sulfur to exchange things.

Of course, it would have been better if copper and iron had been sent, but it was simply impossible to transport things from the border gates. Yun Ze temporarily dismissed the idea of letting the merchants of the Western Regions transport iron and copper.

Even if it is smuggling, it is difficult to reach the sky if you want to send it to Danyang safely. It can only be said in the future, but saltpeter and sulfur are nothing.

From the Jing Dynasty to the present, it has not paid much attention to sand and gravel and sulfur. The delivery of this ore will definitely not attract the attention of others.

After discussing the details with the Hu merchants, Yun Ze took the people to the kiln area and saw the fine porcelain and smooth floor tiles. The Hu businessmen are almost unable to walk.

Yun Ze was here, and he also saw the Jing merchants who Ye Ziyan and the three daughters brought to visit, and the floor tiles not only had finished products displayed, but also had an exhibition area pasted on the ground.

When they saw the smooth ground, not only the Hu merchants were amazed, but even the Jing merchants were also bright-eyed, what these businessmen were thinking now was to put a layer of floor tiles in their homes, and the whole house did not know how high the atmosphere was.

Compared with the gold bricks and jade tiles used by the emperor, I am afraid that it is only high and not low. Even if a brick costs a tael of gold, they will probably buy it.

The cost of floor tiles is about 50 yuan a piece, which is only a temporary production technology is not mature enough, once the production technology is mature, the proficiency will go up, and the finished product will be reduced.

The price of a floor tile in Yunze is one tael of silver, which is equivalent to one thousand Wen, which is more than twenty times the profit. When the merchants heard the price, they all ordered a lot.

As for porcelain, needless to say, both Hu Shang and Jing Shang have placed large orders. The same is true for all kinds of other products. As long as it is produced by a fiefdom, in the eyes of these merchants, it is all in demand.

However, in terms of refined salt, Yunze was temporarily unable to provide it because of the temporary loss of the supply of raw materials to the waiting family. This made it a pity for the Hu businessmen. After getting Yunze's supply of refined salt next time, he was full of joy.

Jingshang's side also didn't feel pity for refined salt. And after Yun Ze arranged those Hu merchants, he talked about salt with the Jing merchants.

Every time these people came to buy goods, Yun Ze demanded that they must bring a part of the salt mine, which could also be coarse salt. At the same time, he asked about three of the businessmen from the seaside.

Yun Ze hoped that the three of them would make three salt farms for themselves, and he was going to teach Ye Ziyan how to make salt, train some salt workers, and then send them to the seaside salt farms.

In the future, the supply of salt will be mainly sea salt, and after having its own salt farm, there is no need to worry about being stuck. Of course, he had to find a way to get a license for selling illicit salt.

This matter, he is ready to let Luo Xuan help him handle it, with Luo Xuan's identity and family background, this matter will not be difficult for him.

The Jing Dynasty did not strictly control salt and iron, and private petty fights were allowed. Even if there is a deed of permission to sell salt, it is possible to sell illicit salt on a large scale.

Of course, the premise is to pay enough taxes, and the Jing Dynasty where Yunze is now located is highly overlapping with the economically developed Song Dynasty in the previous life.

For example, the business is developed, and the per capita GTP is definitely ahead of all neighboring countries, and may even be the highest in the world.

After negotiating the business, Yun Ze did not let those Jing merchants take most of the goods, and only allowed them to take a third of them. Want to take the remaining two-thirds. You have to exchange it for salt.

Although these merchants were a little dissatisfied, compared to the tight demand of Yunze's goods, even if they were unwilling, they could only comply.

And Yun Ze only gave them five days, if he couldn't send salt, Yun Ze would stop cooperating with them. Hearing Yun Ze's request.

Those merchants sent their men to rush back eight hundred miles overnight to collect salt and send it, and Yun Ze told Ye Ziyan that in the next period of time, no matter what merchant came over, he would need to bring salt. Otherwise, business will not be done.

With this measure, Yunze believes that it only takes five days to solve the dilemma of lack of raw materials. In a month's time, as long as the salt works by the sea can be harvested, there is no longer a need to be choked by the waiter.

At that time, it was time for him to fight back against the waiting family. The Hou family is now angry, that is because it is stuck in Yun Ze's neck, and the salt business in the surrounding Zhou Mansion, they are the only one.

But once Yun Ze recovers, then all their salt will be smashed in their hands.

In the following time, Yun Ze asked Ye Ziyan to find a group of people, including Ye Chen and Fang Hu. Ye Ziyan will go to the beach to take charge of the salt works when she arrives, but she can't stay there for long.

In the early ten days, she would be in charge, and in the later stage, Yun Ze decided to hand over the production of salt to Ye Chen and Fang Hu. It's time for these two boys to be raised.

While teaching Ye Ziyan and Ye Chen Fanghu to make salt, Yun Ze also found Luo Xuan, and he asked the other party to get a salt selling document in Kyoto for himself.

Now he has no salt selling documents after all, originally, if the Danyang prefect investigates it, he will be very troublesome. However, the prefect of Danyang did not dare to provoke him, so in this matter, he did not embarrass Yun Ze.

But now that the Hou family has made a move on him, this matter is a little troublesome. If so, the salt supervisor behind the Hou family has to trouble him, he sells illicit salt on a large scale, but he has no documents, and if he doesn't do it, he may be imprisoned.

In Danyang City, and even in the surrounding prefectures, absolutely no one dared to come to trouble Yunze, but it was difficult to guarantee that the Zhou officials on the upper floor of the prefecture city would not interfere in this matter. If Shangzhou is an official, Luo Xuan's Houfu background may not be of much use.

Or, only the background of the prince of Danyang County, or the background of the left minister, may be of some use.

Of course, in Danyang City and even the surrounding prefectures, those magistrates know the relationship between the King of Danyang County and Luo Xuan and Yun Ze, but the officials above the continent may not know.

Who knows if there will be a stunned young man, who will be bewitched by the waiting family and come to trouble him! Prevent this!
