Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 237 Sun Xin boldly ordered the goods

After Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua got on the carriage and left Zengtou City, they first went to Lingzhou to contact the merchants going to Hebei, and checked the route from Shandong to Hebei at this time, and found this route. The water above was very deep, so Sun Xin decided not to use force here for the time being, and went through the channels already established in Zengtou City, and then rushed to Dengzhou together.
If Zeng Saihua wants to be Sun Xin's chief trade supervisor in the future, he must be familiar with maritime merchants. The two now have more than 1 yuan in start-up capital, which is enough to build a huge maritime trade team.

At this time, the war between Liao and Jin stopped for a period of time. Because of the war in Ningjiangzhou some time ago, the prosperous maritime trade showed signs of cooling down for a while. Many merchant ships under the master of the sea had no cargo to run, and they all rested in Dengzhou. .

Sun Xin also didn't return to the ten-mile card. Under the escort of Wu Song, he went to Dengzhou to meet with Zeng Saihua one after another with several sea owners who were engaged in sea trade smuggling.

Sun Xin doesn't want to control the waterway. At this stage, he has neither the ambition nor the ability.The way he wants to use is to make an appointment with these sea masters first, sign the list, and then let these sea masters help transport anything at any time.

Sea owners also welcome this shipping method. In the past, sea owners usually need to buy goods, transport them, and then sell them in the Liao Kingdom.

But now Sun Xin can organize the supply of goods for them in Dengzhou, and Zeng Saihua has a cargo station and a series of sales channels in Liao. There is a lot less, but the victory lies in stability. During this period of market depression, many sea owners are willing to cooperate with Sun Xin.

Sun Xin also did not expect that the price of sea transportation would fluctuate so much. The sea owners really have no business to do at this time. Most of their only assets are ships. There are even sea fishing documents between Song and Liao. He couldn’t even get on the shore, and he lost his business and couldn’t even support his subordinates. Only two days after the news was released, Sun Xin found out that someone came to him on his own initiative through his relationship, and showed how many ships he had and how many people he was willing to take. .

Two days later, a malicious competition for bargaining started among several sea owners, and the shipping fee for a shipment of goods dropped directly from 60 taels to [-] taels.

It took Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua three days to gather enough capacity easily.

On the fourth morning, when he was planning to walk back from Dengzhou, Wu Song ran in from outside the inn early in the morning.

When Sun Xin saw Wu Erlang galloping upstairs with a stick in hand, he knew something must have happened, so he hurried downstairs and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zeng Saihua also combed her hair and came out of the room, looking at the two curiously.

Wu Song took a few breaths before saying to Sun Xin: "The fight between Liao and Jin has started again."

Both Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua became excited at the same time, and they didn't care about going back to Zengtou City, so they hurried to the port to find out the latest news.

The news will be gathered soon.

Xiao Sixian, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, led the army to crusade against Ningjiang Prefecture, and the two sides had already started fighting.

Hearing the news, Zeng Saihua grabbed Sun Xin's arm excitedly and said, "Our ship is scheduled at the right time!"

Sun Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. In history, there is no very detailed record about when the Battle of Chuhedian happened. Sun Xin himself has no such information in his mind. It earned him thousands of coins in just a few minutes.

"What shall we do now?" Zeng Saihua stared at Sun Xin with a pair of big eyes, blinking, completely obeying Sun Xin's wishes.

Sun Xin went around to inquire and found that the number of ships transporting grain at the port had greatly increased. Before he returned to the inn, a sea owner who signed a contract with him yesterday came to ask Sun Xin how to transport the goods.

The sea master was very polite to Sun Xin, and he didn't sigh too much because he learned of the outbreak of war just after signing the contract, because Sun Xin's shipment was in a hurry, and their ship could be returned after the round trip. Running a few times, running a longer distance than others, so the free time is also used. Instead of losing money, it will make them earn more.

What they are afraid of now is that Sun Xin is delaying time, so they all come here to ask Sun Xin to quickly decide what to transport, so as not to delay their next voyage.

Now there are two major items for transporting goods to the north, one is to transport grain, and the other is to use cloth. These are used to collect taxes in Liaodong when the Liao Kingdom is preparing for a big war.

Zeng Saihua looked at Sun Xin, wondering if they would continue to sell cloth to the Liao Kingdom as planned. It was obvious that if the battle did not last long, then the Liao Kingdom would definitely collect grain in Liaodong. It is enough to increase taxes as long as it supplies consumption, food and drink between wars.

Only when this war is protracted will the Liao Kingdom expropriate resources such as cloth that can be preserved for a long time in Liaodong on a large scale.

Sun Xin made the decision directly: "It's still cloth. I will send the first batch of cloth to your port within two days."

Zeng Saihua was a little hesitant, but she didn't want to lose Sun Xin's face in front of outsiders, so she didn't say anything. After the sea masters who came one after another left, Zeng Saihua quietly said to Sun Xin: "Do you want us Sell ​​some grain to the north, now is the time when the price of grain is soaring."

"If this war is protracted, the price of cloth will definitely rise higher than that of food, but what if we can't fight for that long?"

Now it's just a matter of earning more and less. No matter what, the cloth will definitely be sold when sent to the north, so Zeng Saihua is not too eager to ask questions, but this decision will have a great impact on their life. Profit for a trip.

Sun Xin said decisively: "This war is going to be fought, it will definitely not end like this."

He also has no way to explain to the fourth sister how the Liao Kingdom will be defeated in the future battle in Hedian. It is Daliao, which has been intimidating the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and will be defeated again and again by an unknown Jin Kingdom. , No one will believe it.

He can only change one way: "Even if this battle is won, it will take some time for the Liao Kingdom to conquer Ningjiang Prefecture. Even if Ningjiang Prefecture is conquered again, can he go deep into the snowy mountains to pursue the remnants of the Jin Kingdom? ? This war is bound to be protracted."

"For such a long-distance transport of supplies, it doesn't make sense for the Liao court to expropriate too much grain from Jinzhou. If it can't be transported, it must expropriate a large amount of cloth and other materials that can be used for cash."

Zeng Saihua nodded: "It makes sense. Even if the price of cloth in Jinzhou does not rise too high now, the price of cloth will rise slowly in a year or two."
