Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 454, it's actually advertising
Today, the third and fourth floors of Wangyue Tower in the capital city have been booked by Li Yuanshan. At this time, in the spacious hall on the third floor, businessmen from the Beijing-Tianjin area gathered together, chatting and laughing patiently waiting for each other. with.

They are all old acquaintances. Although they each do a lot of business, they all have one thing in common, that is, they all involve sugar business.

Now Ryukyu sugar has had a huge impact on the entire sugar market. The price is too low. The key is that the output is too large, and it will suddenly make these sugar business people overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Li Yuanshan did not intend to kill them all, and was willing to sell them high-quality sugar and let them become agents of Ryukyu sugar.

"I don't know how the Ryukyu sugar agent does it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this sugar business in the future."

Beside Wu Lang, several businessmen who also came from the Jiangnan area said with a worried face.

Originally, the sugar business was not easy to do. The price of sugar was very high, and only the truly rich could afford it. As for ordinary people, perhaps when they gave birth, they could spend a little extravagant time buying some brown sugar mixed with water for use. To replenish energy, brown sugar is even a blood-enriching medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine.

The price is high, the output is low, the market is actually that big, and everyone has already been familiar with the whole market.

It's all right now, a stick of Ryukyu sugar came in horizontally, instantly shocking the entire market, so that all the merchants who came here became worried, worried that there would be no way to do this sugar business in the future.

"I think maybe the sugar business will do better in the future."

Wu Lang smiled and shook his head. His idea was just the opposite. The price of this Ryukyu sugar was very cheap, and the output was large enough, which meant that more people could consume it, and the market could be bigger.

Sugar is not the same as salt. It makes no difference if you have it or not in your life, but once you get used to it, the consumption will be very considerable.

Just like the Jiangnan area, it has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. It is very rich and everyone has money, so they all like to eat sweets. They use sugar for braised pork, sugar for cooking, and sugar for cooking. It can be said that everyone’s daily life is far away from Without sugar, most of the sugar in the entire Ming Dynasty was consumed by people in the Jiangnan area.

The price of sugar is lower, which means that there are more people who can consume sugar, not to mention other places, just in Beijing and Tianjin. With the rapid development of capitalism, the income of ordinary people in Beijing and Tianjin is getting higher and higher. Everyone can clearly feel that in the capital area, no matter what kind of business it is, it becomes very easy to do.

Wu Lang clearly knows that production and price are the key to making sugar a luxury. If the production is large enough and the price is cheap enough, it can enter thousands of households.

At that time, this sugar will be like salt, and it will become an indispensable thing for the people of Ming Dynasty to live in this way. Do you think this business is good?

"Everyone~everyone~"

At this time, Li Yuanshan came down from the fourth floor with a smile on his face, and the bidding for the agency of Ryukyu Candy officially started.

"I won't talk nonsense anymore. I think everyone should already know about the quality of our Ryukyu sugar. This quality is definitely the best sugar in our Ming Dynasty."

"In addition to the output, please rest assured that our output is very large, and you can have as much as you want."

"The most important point is the price. The price of our Ryukyu sugar is definitely the lowest in the market. Currently, our brown sugar is priced at [-] Wen a catty. In the future, this price will continue to decrease. [-] Wen One catty, two hundred Wen per catty, or even one hundred Wen per catty is possible."

Li Yuanshan's voice was very loud and clear to everyone's ears.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone's expressions changed slightly. The price is going to be lowered. Are you still letting everyone live?
If this is really reduced to two or three hundred Wen a catty, then there is still money to be made from this candy?

This was the thought in the minds of those present.

Sugar production is extremely scarce and very expensive.

With prices so low, there's no money to be made.

"Everyone will definitely think that if the price is reduced to [-] Wen per catty, will there be any money to be made?"

"When I want to tell everyone, of course there is money to be made, and more money will be made."

"Now our annual sugar production in the entire Ming Dynasty is less than one million catties, and those who can eat sugar are really rich people."

"But if our production can reach tens of millions of catties a year, or even hundreds of millions of catties, then we can make everyone in Daming eat sugar."

"Even in the future, we can sell our Ming Dynasty's sugar to Japan and North Korea. If someone can transport this sugar to Europe, the price of sugar is more than gold. Only the real nobles can afford sugar."

Li Yuanshan began to describe the bright future of the canteen industry to everyone.

He did so naturally after Liu Jin's instructions and explanations. At this time, Liu Jin was upstairs, accompanying Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Mao, and Xu Guangzuo, chatting and preparing to count the money.

The business of sugar is promising, but Liu Jin obviously doesn't intend to keep doing this business. There is never enough money in the world. Many industries under Liu Jin's command earn tens of millions of money every year.

Liu Jin's real plan is to use sugar to promote the development of Ryukyu.

To let these sugar merchants see the profit and see that Ryukyu is a treasure land, Liu Jin just built a city here and reclaimed some wasteland to produce so much sugar.

Liu Jin can do it, so why can't others do it.

They can also go to the Ryukyu side to build a city, go to the Ryukyu side to reclaim land, plant sugarcane and boil sugar.

Using interests to drive people has always been what Liu Jin has been doing.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone couldn't help taking a breath, and some even had slightly red eyes.

The world described by Liu Jin has been continuously published in the Ming Morning Post one after another. Everyone knows that sugar is worth more than gold in Europe, so it must be more expensive than gold.

Wouldn't it be a big deal if we could ship a boatload of sugar to Europe?

Everyone couldn't help but think so.

"Mr. Li, can you really produce such a high amount of sugar here in Ryukyu City?"

Someone couldn't help standing up and asking.

"Of course, it's just this year. Next year, we can reclaim more land here in Ryukyu. By then, we will plant more sugar cane and boil more sugar."

Li Yuanshan nodded solemnly.

"You may not know much about Ryukyu. I have been in Ryukyu City for almost a year this year. Let me tell you about the situation in Ryukyu."

"Ryukyu is very close to Fujian, very close to each other across the sea. If you take a boat, you can reach Ryukyu from Fujian in less than a day."

"Ryukyu has plenty of sunlight and abundant rainfall. It is very suitable for growing sugarcane, which can be harvested twice a year. In addition to sugarcane, Ryukyu is also very suitable for growing rice, which can be grown twice or even triple."

"The land in Ryukyu is very fertile, and it's all unowned land. Whoever reclaims it will get it. Our Mr. Liu has also spent a lot of money to build Ryukyu City here on the Danshui River in the north of Ryukyu."

"If you want to invest in Ryukyu, you can go directly to Ryukyu City first. There are some things, no matter how much I say, it's better for you to go and have a look. Now there are regular boats going back and forth between Ryukyu and Tianjin here in Tianjin. Everyone can send someone to take a look and investigate."

Li Yuanshan was very confident when he said it. To be honest, he himself fell in love with Ryukyu and planned to move his family to Ryukyu.

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, everyone nodded their heads. As long as they had something to do with Liu Jin, they were convinced, because Liu Jin had never lied to everyone so far.

The Golden Continent is full of gold, and now everyone believes in this, let alone believe that Ryukyu is a treasure land.

As for whether it is true or not, as Li Yuanshan said, you will know if you go and see for yourself.

"Everyone can rest assured about the production volume. Everyone will only have a headache in the future that the sugar cannot be sold, and there is no need to worry about not having enough sugar."

"Actually, I really recommend that everyone go to Ryukyu to have a look. It's really good."

"Right now in our Beijing-Tianjin area, it is cold and windy, and there is heavy snow, but here in Ryukyu, it is very warm. Our Ryukyu City not only grows sugar cane, but also grows a lot of vegetables. After a while, we can grow large-scale Some of them are shipped to the Beijing-Tianjin area to be sold here.”

Li Yuanshan kept Liu Jin's words in mind, and kept promoting Ryukyu, advertising for Ryukyu.

In fact, it is not only Li Yuanshan who is promoting Ryukyu here.

Daming Morning Post also reported Ryukyu Candy in a large amount of space under Liu Jin's behest.

At this time, in the streets and alleys of the capital, the young and old in the capital are reading the latest issue of the Ming Morning Post with great interest.

Reading newspapers has now become a part of the lives of young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

'Ryukyu candy, let everyone in Daming afford candy! '

Such a report immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knows that sugar is very expensive, and it is something that ordinary people can't afford.

Now this Ryukyu candy actually wants to make candy affordable for everyone in Daming, how is this possible?

Naturally, everyone also began to read word by word, carefully reading the contents of the newspaper.

"Ryukyu was originally a candy in the southeast of Ming Dynasty~"

Through this newspaper, everyone immediately knew about Ryukyu, got to know Ryukyu, and knew the location of Ryukyu.

"The land here in Ryukyu is fertile, and rice can be grown twice a year, or even three times a year?"

"How is it possible?"

"I know that rice is harvested twice a year, and it can be done in the Jiangnan area, but rice is harvested three times a year, which is something I have never heard of."

"If you don't believe it, it doesn't mean you can't do it. Isn't it said above?"

"The latitude here in Ryukyu is low, with plenty of light and abundant precipitation. It's already snowing here in our capital. How can they be similar to summer? Can you grow three crops?"

"That's true. It gets hotter the further south you go. Maybe it can be cooked."

"I also know about Ryukyu. I heard that there are barbarians who can eat people. I heard that miasma is rampant and mosquitoes are rampant. Mosquitoes there are as big as sparrows."

"Nonsense? How could there be a mosquito as big as a sparrow? Wouldn't that kill people?"

"Everyone, don't make random guesses. The newspapers didn't say that Liu Zhuangyuan has built a Ryukyu city here in Ryukyu. There are regular boats going to Ryukyu city from Tianjin. You can go to Ryukyu to have a look."

"Ryukyu City also welcomes everyone to visit and take a walk here in Ryukyu."

"There is also the immigration policy here in Ryukyu City. As long as you are willing to immigrate to Ryukyu, you can get the Sanmu Field for free. This Ryukyu field is very fertile, with a lot of rain, and you can grow twice a year."

"Ryukyu City is also a large-scale seed sugarcane, boiling sugar, it must have a bright future."

"Ryukyu is too far away, who would immigrate to Ryukyu?"

"I heard that tens of thousands of people have immigrated to Ryukyu. I don't know if it is the same as what the newspaper said. If it is as good as what the newspaper says, I want to immigrate to Ryukyu."

"One person gets three acres of land for free, and the family immigrates there, and there are more than ten acres of high-quality paddy fields casually."

"..."

With the publication of bits and pieces of Ryukyu in the Ming Morning Post, it was the first time that Ryukyu was truly known to the people of Ming Dynasty.

Originally, it was sugar, but it gradually became an advertisement, advertising for Ryukyu, letting everyone know about Ryukyu and the policies of Ryukyu City, and encouraging everyone to immigrate to Ryukyu.

This is the real reason why Liu Jin runs a newspaper.

There is no money to be made in running a newspaper. At least for now, Liu Jin of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post is losing money, but there is no doubt about the role of the newspaper, allowing Liu Jin to easily guide the attention of the people of Ming Dynasty.

The fourth floor of Moon Tower.

"Stinky boy, you tell everyone to plant sugar cane and boil sugar here in Ryukyu, what shall we eat in the future?"

After reading the latest Daming Morning Post, Zhang Mao asked with some doubts.

Originally, I didn't expect to go to Ryukyu City to build a city and grow sugar cane to be so profitable. Only this time, the sugar cane harvest here in Ryukyu City is abundant, and the boiled sugar can be sold for tens of millions of taels of silver.

Go out and invest in Ryukyu City this year, plus all kinds of expenses, etc., you can easily earn several million taels of silver. The cost of this investment will come immediately, and you will earn money. Counting the money.

But now, Liu Jin actually asked everyone to go to the Ryukyu side to reclaim the land and plant sugar cane. Isn't this giving the hen that lays eggs to others to make a fortune.

"Mr. Zhang, we need to take a long-term view. Although the business of sugar cane and boiling sugar can make money, it is limited in the end. Earning tens of millions of taels of silver in a year will be the best."

"But if the Ryukyu side is developed, we can have more places to make money. Ryukyu is a big island with extremely rich resources."

"In addition, Ryukyu has been developed. When we enter Nanyang, Luzon, and Australia next year, it will be much easier for us. In addition, Ryukyu is also an important point on the return route of the fleet to the Golden Isle. I am planning for the future. "

"At that time, we can casually set up a fleet to go to Nanyang, and we can bring back a boatload of silver. If we can go to Australia, there are also a lot of gold and silver mines in Australia. I am afraid that there will be no silver at that time? "

Liu Jin explained with a smile when he heard Zhang Mao's words.

The development of Ryukyu is very important, and it is the starting point for Liu Jin to turn the Pacific Ocean into an inner lake for descendants of Yan and Huang.

After the Ryukyu is well managed, it can go to North Korea and Japan, connect to the north of Ming Dynasty, connect to Guangdong, Guangxi, and Qiongzhou in the south, and go to Luzon and Australia in the south.

Nanyang and Luzon are also heaven-sent places. They are located in the tropics, with fertile land and abundant rainfall. Among other things, they are only used to grow rice. The three-cropped rice in this year will occupy some areas casually, and the future output The rice is also enough to easily feed the entire Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention Australia, which is extremely rich in mineral resources and sparsely populated. If such a good place is not occupied, it would be a waste of money.

If the Nanyang and Australia routes can be opened, and then from Australia to the South Golden Continent, a complete circle can be formed by then.

Surrounding the entire Pacific Ocean, Daming can have two routes. One route is to go north, through the country of Wa and the North Pacific Ocean to the North Golden Continent.

One route is to go south, pass through Nanyang and Australia to Nanjinjinzhou, and then turn the entire Pacific Ocean into an inner lake for the descendants of Chinese people.

This is Liu Jin's real purpose. As for planting sugar cane and boiling sugar, this is just to attract more people to Ryukyu and develop Ryukyu.

Still the same sentence, Liu Jin believes in the principle of using interests to drive people.

As long as there are enough interests, Liu Jin believes that there will be people willing to go to Ryukyu without having to work hard to promote it.

All I need to do is to present this interest, and at the same time ensure that those who play the game according to their own rules can get enough benefits from it.

In this way, it will naturally be like a snowball, and it will get bigger and bigger, and more and more people will continue to move forward in the direction set by Liu Jin, and then drive the entire huge empire to the colonial era.

　Two in one, what do you think of this method?
