Chapter 146
"You go ahead first!"
Old man Xia frowned slightly, the conversation between the equation and Huang An seemed to be fine, but there were many practical problems.
First of all, the ranch!
The reason why the border grassland has not been used is not that it is useless, but that it is not daring to use it and cannot be used.
There is a need for buffers between forces, and the same is true between the Wu Dynasty and the Yanshan Sanwei, and the Yinshan Seven Forces, don't look at these ten forces in the Wuren, Jurchen, and Mongolian tripartite forces, but they can be stayed, and their own forces are not weak.
There is no distinction between long and short blades, long knives stab people to death, and short knives can also be used to bloodletting, right?
Damage is injury, and there is no difference in the period.
Sensing that Old Man Xia was wrong, the equation didn't matter, "After demarcating the ranch and signing the most basic contract, we can calculate the approximate output of the ranch after half a year, there is a difference, we can consume it internally if there is more, and we can supplement it if we have less, and the total amount can be flat after all!" ”
Animal husbandry is not the patent of the grassland, and there are not a lot of large pastures in the Wu Dynasty.
Near Tai'an City, near the Taihang Mountains, there are hundreds of woodland pastures of different sizes, in which countless cattle, sheep and horses are raised.
Without the output of the pasture, the price of meat in Tai'an City would have skyrocketed.
Where did the mutton that was killed for 20 wen and a pound and the beef that was fresh for 35 wen and a pound come from?
Or the pasture near Gyeonggi provides, really waiting for the meat from the grassland, live cattle and sheep on the way to lose more than a dozen pounds, this is not meat but money, frozen people also eat, but compared to the price of fresh, the gap of a few pennies, there is no competitiveness at all.
The Wu Dynasty is not other Han dynasty, the people are poor and poor, but the per capita meat and grain is definitely one of the best in Kyushu, without that little body fat reserve, it is enough to freeze a group of people to death in the long winter.
Especially in the barren north-central region of Bingzhou, animal husbandry is more developed, and after satisfying the most basic consumption of rice and noodles, families with military merits are all ranchers, and the difference is only in the size of the pasture.
If it weren't for the lack of rain in the northern part of Bingzhou, the Gobi tidal flats and grasslands, and the animal husbandry in Bingzhou alone would have supported the meat consumption of the entire Wu Dynasty.
"There is a difference in the breed of sheep, but there is no mutton, there is only one kind of slaughter, even if there are some differences, it is also for the perennial carnivorous warriors Liao, but for the perennial Song people, Ming people, Tang people, it is good to have meat to eat, and those who are originally qualified to eat meat do not care about one more bite of grassland mutton!"
"In this regard, I said that the quality doesn't matter, there should be no opinion!"
The equation spread his hands and looked at Huang An.
Huang An shook his head, "I can't agree with this anymore, it's good to eat some, what quality do you want?" To put it mildly, these years are my blockade, in the early years, the border was not so martial law, many border Song people, Ming people, but they are all cross-border to buy offal to replenish oil and water! ”
There is too much shortage of oil and water, and the taste of no oil and water is felt clearly by everyone.
Eating good and eating bad, that is divided on the basis of being.
The Wu Dynasty has capital, so the mutton is divided, but the other countries will first solve whether there is anything else to consider.
Besides, the quality of the grassland mutton itself is not bad, and the really rich lords in Tai'an City eat all the live mutton from the grassland.
"After calculating an approximate one, we can finalize the contract, the unit of the city catty, there is no meaning in this kind of bulk transaction, the lowest standard unit should be based on stone, a standard contract of one stone mutton, two taels of silver as the base, peddling outward, the contract expires, and the contract is directly transported away from the customs gates, do you think there is a market?"
"Is this another one-hand swap?" Old man Xia looked at the equation.
"Space can be exchanged for time, time can also be exchanged for space, as long as there is profit, everything is not a problem, pasture fattening is profitable, selling meat is also profitable, one sale, two profits, plus futures is three!"
Fattening in June, 100 percent profit, is enough to sell the grassland pastures.
Mutton out of the country, do not need to enter the market, as long as the border of the Wu Dynasty, the value can rise by one percent, the farther the south, the higher the price.
In October, November, the northern border is resting in winter, and the Central Plains is also in winter, and there is no need to worry about the problem of meat rot within half a month, and the action is fast enough to transport the meat to the south for hundreds of miles, and there is a chance to touch Jingzhou.
"Good guy, if I don't remember badly, Huang Yi once said that when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, in Yingtianfu, a pound of cooked mutton in winter can buy Baiwen, a pound of cooked meat, and a pound of raw meat!"
Baiwen cooked meat, raw meat is almost 60 wen.
This is doubling again.
A 200 percent windfall profit, compared to the price paid, the risk that needs to be taken, will not be a problem.
"The price of meat in the Ming Dynasty is still average, the real expensive is Luoyang in the Song Dynasty, the Song people do not produce cattle and sheep, but regard beef and mutton as precious meat, the big families consume greatly every winter, we smuggle out of the beef and mutton, at least forty percent will eventually flow to Luoyang City, become the food on the table of high-ranking officials, but it is still in short supply, what to do, the meat price may fall in the coming year, but there is still 100% profit!"
Old man Xia obviously knew better.
If the people lack oil and water, won't the nobles lack it?
It's still lacking, the more good things are, the more serious the lack is, just imagine, the same social status, people eat meat, you eat grass, so what else do you mix?
With the wealth of the Song Dynasty, not to mention the supply of meat several times, more than ten times, Luoyang City can swallow it.
"The next step, your idea should be to speculate on the standard contract to raise the price of the mutton in the customs!"
"Because in the early days, the size of the pasture and the number of lambs in captivity were determined, and the price would not affect the territory of our court, and at the same time, the payer was not our warriors, so we don't need to worry about this!"
"Not bad!"
Equation smiled and nodded, "Futures, what to do is the platform, regardless of the high price and low price, we just earn the handling fee, the price is pushed up, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Later Tang Dynasty, the mutton in the Three Kingdoms is destined to rise, it is not us who is cut, and the mutton we smuggle out of the customs will also benefit from this in the coming year, and in the coming year, the grassland mutton market will be completely opened, and the commercial banks that make a lot of money will inevitably increase the pasture to help us raise the herdsmen in the buffer zone!" ”
"If there is money to be made, who wants to do the business of killing heads? When the time comes, we will give the shepherd, the pasture a three, six, nine, etc., and the final profit will be nothing at all with the money spent on the shepherd and the pasture? ”
"On the contrary, the price broke the standard contract price, and it was not us who were damaged, not the merchants who invested in the grassland, suffered this wave of losses, the input was reduced in the coming year, the output decreased, and the price naturally rose that year, and at the same time, we were not rented the grassland, we can also use it, and the forage is also a big deal on the grassland!"
"Do a good job of the platform, we have a place to make money!"
"And now what we have to do is to bring people in, even if they don't make money, let's do them for three or four years first, after the model is mature, the war should almost enter the stage of full-scale confrontation, and then it will be the day to make money!"
