Chapter 923: Marriage Discussion
Of course, you can also stick to it.
For example, the emperor, or some generals, can use the soldiers in the army to fetch milk.
In the City Guards, the Praetorian Guards, and the Eight Legions of the Chu State, there are many soldiers who are two or three levels of strength the day after tomorrow, and their superiors have every reason to let these soldiers go to fetch milk.
However, in this way, the cost is greatly increased.
The price of hiring a warrior of the second or third level of the day after tomorrow is different from that of hiring an ordinary homeless, and the price of the former is at least twenty or thirty times that of the latter.
What's more, if those generals or emperors really dared to do this, the country would not be far from collapse.
An army, not good training, to improve its own strength, but instead spend all their energy on business, maybe they can indeed get a huge amount of money in business, but the combat effectiveness of this army is completely wasted.
At that time, the other countries can easily wipe out the army of that country and then occupy the country.
Historically, there have been examples like this.
The most famous should be the Fourth Division of the Wa Kingdom during World War II.
Founded in 1888, the Fourth Division, also known as the "Great // Han Division" and "Merchant Division", was established in 1888 and was one of the 17 standing divisions formed by the Japanese before the outbreak of World War II.
The formation took place in Osaka, the Wa Kingdom, and the soldiers were mainly composed of Osaka vegetable sellers and itinerant merchants.
The Fourth Division of the Japanese Osaka Division, codenamed "Yodo" - this code name can be described as ingenious, and the code names of other Japanese land // army // divisions have many symbols of martial spirit, such as the second division is "brave", the ninth division is "Wu", etc., the fourth division The origin of the word "Yodo" is because there is a Yodo River that crosses the most prosperous Umeda business district in Osaka......
Osaka is a famous commercial city in the country, and most of the residents are related to commerce, and in the hearts of these people, commerce is the most important thing, and everything else is not important, even if it is the princes who rule them, and the respect for the princes is very limited.
Even on the battlefield, most of the people of the Fourth Army were still thinking about how to do business, how to make money, and how to save their lives, so the combat effectiveness was extremely ......limited
The business atmosphere of the Fourth Army is extremely strong, the most famous of which is that after the surrender of the Japanese State, the people of the Fourth Army Corps have just returned to the Japanese State, and the next day, a large number of officers and soldiers of the former Fourth Division ran to the front of the Mi Army Barracks, neatly set up stalls, and peddled war souvenirs.
This is the best example, the army should be pure, the army can only have the idea of defending the country in its heart, and can not have other ideas, only in this way can an army truly become a strong army, and can it truly defend the country and the country.
Therefore, as long as the emperor is not dizzy, he will not use his army to fetch milk, so the competitor of Lin Ze's toffee business will not appear at all.
"Xuan'er, is it difficult to make toffee? The method of making it won't be known by others, right?" Shi Fangying obviously also considered the issue of confidentiality, so she asked like this.
"Mother, the manufacturing technology of toffee is very simple, and others can master it with just a few experiments!" Lin Ze said with a relaxed face.
"What should we do? If others can also make toffee, then we will face a lot of competitors, and in Kyoto, the power of the Hou Mansion is not very strong. Shi Fangying's face was a little anxious.
Don't look at the Hou Mansion as if it is very powerful, but Shi Fangying knows that in Kyoto, the Hou Mansion is really nothing, and it is much stronger than the Hou Mansion.
"Mother, don't worry, the child guarantees that the market for toffee is ours!" Lin Ze said confidently.
"Oh, why?" Shi Fangying's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Didn't you say that the manufacturing technology of toffee is very simple, and others can easily experiment with it?"
"Mother, the manufacturing technology of toffee is simple, but the source of milk is not simple!" Lin Ze said with a smile.
Then, he explained the key to Shi Fangying.
Hearing Lin Ze's explanation, Shi Fangying's heart finally fell, and she also smiled and praised: "It's still my Xuan'er who is thoughtful, indeed, with such restrictions, even if others know how toffee is made, there is nothing they can do, the toffee market in Kyoto is all from our Hou Mansion!"
Next, Lin Ze and Shi Fangying discussed how to expand the toffee market in Kyoto, and also set the ex-factory price of the toffee in Lin Ze's hand.
Yes, Lin Ze did not come to Kyoto to establish a market in person, and this market Lin Ze handed over to Shi Fangying.
This is not only Lin Ze's compensation for him taking Lin Lixuan's body, but also a helpless move.
Kyoto is really far away from Huangsha Town, a distance of seven or eight thousand miles (the distance from south to north and from west to east in China is more than 5,000 kilometers). Such a long distance, if in modern times, is really nothing, an airplane or something, a few hours away.
However, in feudal society, such a distance can be said to be a moat, and it is impossible for Lin Ze to manipulate the market in Kyoto from such a distance.
It took nearly twenty days just to get the news from Kyoto to Lin Ze, and for such a long time, the daylilies were cold.
Therefore, in the market in Kyoto, Lin Ze was directly handed over to Shi Fangying to be responsible.
Besides, only by handing over the market in Kyoto to Shi Fangying can the market be launched as quickly as possible.
Milk candy has indeed been popularized in modern society, and people in nine layers can afford to buy it, but in feudal society, the average poor person can't even eat enough, where does he get the economic strength to buy milk candy.
In addition, the cost of Lin Ze's toffee itself is very high, the milk source is the milk of the Huojia cow, and the Huojia cow eats not ordinary grass, it likes to eat the ground fire grass the most, although the price of this grass is average, but the Huojia cow eats hundreds of catties, so the price will increase.
In addition, everything is made manually, and the cost of this has increased again, so the price of toffee produced in Huangsha Town is not low.
Based on the price of toffee on the earth, the price of toffee produced in Huangsha Town is twenty times that of the earth.
That is to say, a pound of toffee on the earth only costs more than ten or twenty yuan, but here in Huangsha Town, it needs three or four hundred yuan a catty.
At such a price, even if it is placed on the earth, there will not be many people who will buy it.
Therefore, from the beginning, Lin Ze positioned the market of toffee as those upper-class people in Kyoto and those nouveau riche and wealthy people.
Lin Ze understands the mentality of rich people very well, they don't look at the price at all when they buy things, the more expensive they are, the more they will buy them, because this can fully show that they have money!
In order to cater to the minds of these rich people, Lin Ze directly positioned the ex-factory price of toffee as one gold coin per catty, which was converted into modern Chinese coins, which was equivalent to two or three thousand, and this price was absolutely and absolutely high.
Lin Ze thought that the price of one gold coin and one pound was black enough, but he couldn't imagine that Shi Fangying's heart was darker than him, so he directly set the price at five gold coins a catty.
Hearing this price, Lin Ze was directly speechless.
"It seems that he is indeed not business material!" Lin Ze sighed inwardly.
"Then this is all settled, I will write to me now, and let Huangsha Town start shipping. Lin Ze said.
"Okay, Xuan'er, don't worry, here in Kyoto, my mother will take care of it!" Shi Fangying said confidently.
It's just that at this moment, Shi Fangying's momentum has changed, and she seems to have become more confident.
"Big brother, does this mean that I will have endless toffee after that!" Lin Libin's eyes lit up, and he was already fantasizing about the scene where he couldn't eat all the toffee in the future.
"Yes, little brother, do you like it?" Lin Ze smiled and touched Lin Libin's hair.
"Hehe, thank you, big brother!" Lin Libin's face bloomed.
"Okay, Bin'er, come, you take these toffees, you go out first, mother has something to say to your eldest brother." After the windfall of toffee, Shi Fangying was ready to talk to Lin Ze about his marriage.
"Well, mother, I know!" Lin Libin quickly took a few toffees from Shi Fangying's hand and said to Lin Ze: "Big brother, I'll go play first!"
Before Lin Ze could reply, Lin Libin's figure disappeared at the door.
Lin Libin left in such a hurry because he wanted to show off his toffee to the other children in the mansion, so that they would envy him.
"Hehe, this kid!" Looking at Lin Libin's rapidly disappearing figure, Lin Ze smiled, he knew very well why Lin Libin walked so fast.
When he was a child, when he got the candy, it was not the same, after taking the candy, he immediately went to show it in front of his friends, as long as he saw the envious eyes of his friends, he would be very proud in his heart.
"Xuan'er, you are already eighteen years old this year, and in a few months, you will be nineteen, and you are not a small boss, you look at Lizhong, Lixin and a few of them, they are about the same age as you, but they are all fathers now, and you, you are still alone, are they all for mothers, so, I want to ask you, Xuan'er, do you have any plans to get married?" Shi Fangying said with a smile.
Lin Ze's marriage is the most important thing this time.
Moreover, Shi Fangying was indeed very guilty about Lin Ze's marriage in her heart.
Lin Ze is now eighteen years old, and in the family in Kyoto, which one of them did not get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but Lin Ze is already eighteen years old and has not yet married, and a big reason for this is because of Shi Fangying.
