Chapter 111 Wool's War

For these tribal leaders who have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep under their hands, wool is a big business.

Even if it is based on the minimum ten cents per catty, that is a big income of hundreds of thousands of pennies per year.With so many tribes, at least one million business per year, the leaders of these tribes looked at Zeng Yunfeng eagerly.

Zeng Yunfeng said with a smile: "I come to collect these wools every year, but you must know that sheep can't be sheared every moment of the year. They only shed their wool when spring comes every year and immediately after summer. At this time, a piece of wool That's the best time."

"In areas like yours, it's cold before winter and before autumn, so you can only shear wool once a year to prevent your sheep from freezing to death in winter. The sheep can be sold when they grow bigger. In the past few years, wool has been His best income, I believe you will choose."

"Okay, okay, okay, this method is good!" Many leaders whispered to each other.

Zeng Yunfeng turned around and said: "But I also have standards for collecting wool. Wool is divided into several grades. My wool is divided into five grades, divided into five grades: upper, upper, upper, middle, upper, middle, and then lower. , and the price of each grade is different."

"The upper class is waiting for three cents per catty, while the top class is two cents per catty, the middle and upper class are two cents per catty, the middle ones are one penny per catty, and the lower ones are one penny per catty, so you have to pay according to the grade. The wool is sorted, and then I will come to collect it, otherwise I will spend a lot of effort when I turn around." Zeng Yunfeng added after taking a sip of his wine.

"Young Master Murong, don't worry about that. We have a lot of herdsmen, so we'll get it for you anyway." said a bearded Bakmu.

"As for the grades of these wools, I will give you a standard for each of you, and then you go back and compare them. It is best to pick them out. Every year I collect wool here, that is, Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom, or in Nanjing. When doing business, some caravans collected wool and brought it back." Zeng Yunfeng said.

"Mr. Murong, I don't know how much you can collect. Our flocks stretch as far as the eye can see. I'm afraid you don't have enough money!" Gu Yazha, the leader of Meili's emergency department, asked.

"As long as the quality passes the standard, all comers will be welcome. After you go back, you can talk to other tribes who have not come here this time. Similarly, you can also pay a price to collect wool from other tribes, and then sell it to others at this price. Me, but the standard remains the same, and I have a rule that I want to tell everyone in advance." Zeng Yunfeng said solemnly.

Gu Yazha, the leader of Meili's emergency department, immediately asked: "Mr. Murong, please tell me, as long as you follow the rules, you will follow the rules."

"If any tribe attacks my caravan, then I will never collect the wool of this tribe again, and my goods will no longer be sold to this tribe. Similarly, whenever I make friends with my enemies, it is My enemy, it's easy to understand if you say that." Zeng Yunfeng said.

Gu Yazha, the leader of Meili's emergency department, immediately said: "No problem, we agree to this kind of request, as it should be."

"Let's just say that, I still have something to do, and I will tell Alu, the steward of Nanjing Road, about something later."After Zeng Yunfeng finished speaking, he slapped the table and got up to leave.

These leaders were a little embarrassed, and many of them had this plan, and they were going to grab it directly. After Zeng Yunfeng left, many leaders were still whispering to each other.

The bearded Bakmu looked at Zeng Yunfeng's table and said, "Don't make those messy plans, come and have a look at Mr. Murong's table." All the leaders came up and took a breath, this table is made of iron wood , the entire jade wine glass sank into the table, but the wine glass was not damaged at all.

Taking this transaction as an example, Zeng Yunfeng quickly opened up business routes in Xixia, Tubo, and the Western Regions. These nomadic shepherds soon became a huge business resource for Zeng Yunfeng.

Zeng Yunfeng also collects cow hair, but not all cow hair, because cow hair is not suitable for weaving. Only some yak hair is useful, and Zeng Yunfeng is not familiar with other hairs.

And Zeng Yunfeng established a wool manufacturing factory in Xiangyang Prefecture, south of Tokyo, and soon completed the transformation.

Under Zeng Yunfeng's technological offensive, these wools have been turned into woolen coats, woolen carpets, and even cashmere carpets, cashmere coats, and cashmere quilts, which are sold to various places.

"My lord, aren't you afraid of their plagiarism? After all, anyone can weave!" Anan said.

Zeng Yunfeng said disdainfully, "Let them try it, and they will die if they lose."

This technology is currently only available to Zeng Yunfeng, and others have no way to do it. Countless people will be stuck just by wool degreasing alone, not to mention there are several processes such as bleaching. Not sure.

Some businesses can only make money through monopoly, and the number of tribal leaders who rely on Zeng Yunfeng to make money has reached nearly 200 after a year, and the nomadic army that Zeng Yunfeng is now contacting has more than tens of millions of cattle and sheep.

Zeng Yunfeng also bought horses easily because of these wools. This is to cultivate users, because doing these businesses is incidental. As long as you establish a good credit, other business channels will also be established soon.

Zeng Yunfeng's business outlets, where food is the main thing, were soon unified and belonged to Murong Trading Company. Thanks to the name Murong, everyone knew that Murong Fu was originally a descendant of the Xianbei. Many nomadic people, for Zeng Yunfeng was not particularly repulsive.

When the horses came, the cattle naturally also came. Zeng Yunfeng soon became the biggest seller of farming cattle in the Song Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty banned the killing of cattle, it did not prohibit the sale of cattle.

Moreover, these cattle are all brought from the grasslands and various parts of the Western Regions. Although they are not as good as the local cattle, after several generations of cultivation, these cattle will soon adapt to the local climate and make great contributions to local farming. .

Therefore, Zeng Yunfeng's Murong Company was quickly warmly welcomed by the local governments.

We must know that there are several aspects of official performance evaluation. The first one is the annual tax and grain collected by the bottom. The poor food production, of course, the performance evaluation cannot be much better.

And the grain output depends on what it depends on, the number of cattle and the number of manpower, and the second is how much God likes your place. Whether it rains for you or not, you are useless.

And if there is more food, the local population will naturally increase. When the assessment is made, the performance assessment of the year will naturally be better. Secondly, if there is more food, there will be no problems in the local area, and the economy will prosper. Son will have money.

Of course, Zeng Yunfeng's firm is welcome to do business here, and Zeng Yunfeng's firm will bring a lot of goods, including the most popular food and wine.

"My lord, why do you want to develop trade routes to remote areas?" Anan asked suspiciously.

"Anan, you need to open your mind. What we earn is not a sum of money, but a lot of money. Now we need to control channels and technology, and everything else is secondary." Zeng Yunfeng said to Anan.

Anan has a business mind, but he is too smooth, which is not good.

None of the officials in the Song Dynasty thought of being an official in these remote places.

Su Shi is one of the most unlucky people. He was demoted again and again, and he was demoted to Qiongzhou.

The reason why many officials in Qiongzhou are not willing to go is because they are backward. There is nowhere to buy things. They have money but have nothing to sell, and they can’t buy anything. Of course life is miserable.

I want to drink, sorry, there is no wine for sale, I want to listen to a play, sorry, there is none here.I want to go to the brothel, but I'm sorry, here are all crooked melons and cracked dates.

I have eaten good food in Bianliang City in Tokyo, but the food here is ridiculously poor. What is the point of these scholars being officials? They still require them to live a good life when they come out to be officials.

Those who came out to become officials are because of the words "There are thousands of millet in the book, there are golden houses in the book, there are many horses in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book", most people become officials, not everyone If you have great ambitions, even if you have them, let others eat well, drink well, and live well. It is not a long-term solution to sacrifice sentiment for ambition.

In two years, Zeng Yunfeng has traveled all over the country, from Liaodong to Sakhalin, from Xixia to the Western Regions, from Tubo to Dali, and from Dali to Qiongzhou. Zeng Yunfeng's footprints have covered most of the land in the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty. .

On this East Asian continent, Zeng Yunfeng has seen almost all the scenery by himself.

And wherever Zeng Yunfeng went, the flag of Murong Company was planted everywhere, and Zeng Yunfeng's biggest plan was to go into business, specifically ocean trade.

After Zeng Yunfeng came back from Dali, the most important thing for Zeng Yunfeng was the large amount of wood he brought from Dali.

Zeng Yunfeng arrived in Lin'an, bought a port and dock in Hangzhou Bay, and built large merchant ships for going to sea.Zeng Yunfeng has not started building these large merchant ships, so he can only buy other people's ships.

In the early stage, all these routes were run through, and the places where the most traveled were the Liao Kingdom, Koryo and the four northeastern island countries, followed by Ryukyu.

Jeju Island was also bought by Zeng Yunfeng from the King of Koryo at a high price. Although it is only an incompletely developed place now, Zeng Yunfeng does not need to buy it at all. It will soon become the largest overseas base of Zeng Yunfeng Murong Firm.

"My lord, why did you buy a deserted island from the King of Korea?" Anan asked.

"You, you, your vision is too narrow. This future trade route must be very prosperous in sea trade, and this Tamla country is the bridgehead." Zeng Yunfeng said and tapped Anan on the head with his jade flute.

There are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things. In two years, Zeng Yunfeng has established a lot of relationships with the upper class in Liao, Song and Korea, so the measure of buying a Jeju Island was quickly reached.

And Zeng Yunfeng also started to use means in time to absorb some disaster victims from different countries.

Every year, God will bring disasters to these places. God just sees that some places are unhappy, either floods or droughts. They always separate the wives in some places, and people from one place always escape from this place. Zeng Yunfeng does this kind of human trafficking It cannot be said to be human trafficking.

Zeng Yunfeng transported these people to Jeju Island to develop the land, and let them go back when they wanted to go back, but you must know that these lands in Jeju Island are all given away for free. The people have worked hard for several years to plant these lands. The fields will belong to the people, will the people run back to their hometown?
He has already given birth to children here, and even brought his daughter and children here. He lives here peacefully. There is almost no tax burden here. Zeng Yunfeng only collects some symbolic taxes. What reason do these people have to leave? Here it is.

Zeng Yunfeng not only bought islands in Tamra, but also bought islands in Liaodong. The islands in Liaodong, Changbai Island, Deer Island, and Changshan Islands were all bought by Zeng Yunfeng. Penghu Islands, Chiwei Islet.

These islands will be used as the bases of Murong Trading Company's maritime trade. Zeng Yunfeng has bought almost all the islands in this line of sea area. Some of the islands that cannot be bought are of course rented in the name of lease. , Zeng Yunfeng soon had a lot of land for development.
