Xue Yutang did not agree with Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng's respective statements, nor did he object, but raised two questions.

"Nan Cheng, first of all, I want to ask, built between the Western Xia Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, if the two countries rise up to fight with swords, what should we do, can we avoid being involved in the disputes between them, and the thousands of miles between the two countries are all plains, and there are no mountains to cover them, so it is more appropriate for us to put our forces there?

Yue Nancheng was just thinking about establishing a force between the two countries, attacking and retreating, no matter which side sent troops to deal with them, they could retreat into the other party's country to avoid the danger of being destroyed, but Xue Yutang's words made her feel that she was thinking simply.

"Senior brother, let's talk about you, if you say that you build your forces in the hinterland of the Xixia Kingdom, let's not say that the Xixia Kingdom is not a fool, will you find out the problem, but that is to say that there are so many people, where do the supplies come from? Do you all have to go up the mountains to hunt and go down to the fields to farm? What are the people doing with you? Let's just say that if we start using troops one day in the future, what if we don't wait, the Xixia Kingdom can send troops from any place to surround us in the middle, and there is no way to escape, do you have a way to retreat?"

When Gao Feng Chu heard Xue Yutang ask Yue Nancheng, he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, and his thoughts were more thoughtful, but when Xue Yutang said it, there were loopholes everywhere, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Lord, what do you mean?" both wanted to know what Xue Yutang thought.

Xue Yutang sighed: "I said, don't take rebellion as the premise of establishing forces in the early stage, all you think about is the way to use troops, I am really thinking about building economic strength, how to use troops without economic strength, how to build forces." Not to mention anything else, just talking about the armor and weapons on the soldiers' bodies is a lot of money, and without these, we can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield and bite their teeth, right? After all, the other force is not one person or two people, and the food consumed every day is astronomical, where do these come from, we can't take them up the mountain to dig wild vegetables!"

Xue Yutang paused, glanced at the two who had stopped talking, and continued: "So our top priority is to lay a good economic foundation first, and only with the economic foundation can we consider recruiting troops and raising troops to rebel, you should first think about how to build an economic foundation!"

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do, after all, from the very beginning, whether they are learning or watching, they are marching and fighting, and they are really confused if they are engaged in the economy.

"Lord, this ...... It's difficult!" After Gao Feng finished speaking, Yue Nancheng nodded in agreement.

Xue Yutang was happy: "In fact, this economy is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, you two are talented, if these marching methods are used in business, there will be a lot of achievements, we cannot rely on business to maintain the operation of a force, it is only our initial accumulation, once we lay the city, relying on taxation is the fundamental way, that is, the principle of eggs and chickens, chickens and eggs, but this first chicken must be completed by commerce." ”

Gao Feng frowned and thought for a long time, and patted his thigh: "I know the Lord, I have bought animal skins before, and I am familiar with it in business." ”

Yue Nancheng pouted: "Gao Feng, you are also a business, at most a stall!"

Xue Yutang laughed: "Nan Cheng! In fact, the sale of animal skins by the senior brother is the initial stage of commerce, but in essence, it is the same, business is nothing more than the purchase and sale of goods to earn intermediate benefits. ”

"But Lord, you can't let us go to the stall to sell animal skins, when will we be able to earn an army?" Yue Nancheng didn't understand Xue Yutang's thoughts.

"Hahaha...... Nan Cheng! You think too much, I didn't say that you should set up a stall, I just said that the basic principles are similar! With your IQ, there is no way, right?"

Yue Nancheng rolled her eyes and thought for a long time: "Strange goods?"

Gao Feng's eyes lit up: "Yes, strange goods can live!"

Xue Yutang shook his head: "It's only half right!"

"What's that other half?"

"Resource integration!"

Xue Yutang's words made the two of them scratch their heads! Shaking their heads, indicating that they didn't understand!

Xue Yutang didn't want to give them a fixed framework, after all, this place was different from the world in his previous life, and the entire business system was very primitive, which gave him the conditions to transplant the business methods of his previous life here, no matter what kind of business, the most fundamental thing is that someone is willing to pay for it.

"Think about it, what is the fastest return of funds?"

The two shook their heads again, Xue Yutang was a little helpless, so he had to say: "The inn and the store, they have funds flowing back every day, which is much faster than the return of funds from the workshop, the most important thing is that he doesn't have to worry about the production process, there is no time cycle, this is what we need the most now!"

Yue Nancheng was puzzled: "Lord, do you want us to open an inn or a store?"

Xue Yutang smiled: "No, I want you to open a supermarket!"

"Supermarket, what's that?"

"Hahaha...... The supermarket is not a thing, it is similar to the store, but the scale is larger, the items are more complete, and the current store is relatively single, for example, the vegetable shop is the vegetable shop, the butcher shop is the butcher shop, the iron shop is the iron shop, if we integrate them together, the people can buy everything they want to buy at one time, and they don't have to run back and forth in the east and west of the city, so what will happen?"

The eyes of the two widened all of a sudden, the whole family has bought it all, so who will run back and forth all over the world? What is the time saved to do something, now sometimes when there is a lot of things in demand, in order to buy all the things, it almost takes a whole day, even two or three days.

"Moreover, if we purchase in large quantities, no matter which workshop, we have the capital to bargain with him, because of the large quantity, we buy cheap, and the people buy cheap, and like the current iron shop, because the iron is expensive, the people buy a shovel is often set first, and then have to wait for several days to buy, if we all the blacksmiths around are customized according to the needs of the people, what do the people want, just come to us to choose, not wait, what do you say? The iron shop can't afford it, we can!"

Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng were shocked by Xue Yutang's whimsy, thinking that if Xue Yutang's shop was successfully established, it would definitely be a devastating reform for the existing business model, but this kind of devastating reform must benefit the people.

"Also, we succeeded in the first one, we can quickly establish our own branches in other towns, quickly open up the situation, when our supermarkets are everywhere, we will also choke the throat of the country, when the people adapt to our model, if we close all the supermarkets overnight, what will be the consequences, and we can also install intelligence officers in various supermarkets, and even through the purchasing power of the people, and the direction of purchase, calculate the economic situation of the country, do you think this business plan will be successful？”

Xue Yutang's words made Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng's eyes light up, and they quickly thought about the feasibility of this matter, if it succeeded, not only could they rise rapidly economically, so that they had the first pot of gold to establish their power, but also to some extent, they could strike at the country's economy, cause chaos, and obtain the most effective strategic intelligence, they even thought of another direction, corrupting local officials, and letting them use it for me, but all this is not something that Xue Yutang should worry about.

He has already put forward the direction and method, after all, the supermarket is a product of his previous life, and if he wants to fall into this world, he also needs to localize, which he can't do, but he believes that Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng will definitely do it, and they will do it better.

Xue Yutang got up and left, let the two of them discuss the rest, he still has some money on him, maybe he still needs to make a relationship with Yue Wuying, after all, this is his own industry, and now Bai Linglong is not here, otherwise he doesn't have to worry about money at all, he won't use Yue Nancheng's money, she is different from Yue Wuying, Yue Wuying is his daughter-in-law, and she is a family member!
