Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 238 is here

Seeing the greedy eyes of the Hu merchants, Sun Xiangfu was very satisfied. He was not greedy, so why would he try his best to collect the goods he wanted!

"That's right, what you see is mirrors. This is a treasure bestowed by God to Datang. The number of mirrors in the whole world does not exceed this number." Sun Xiangfu stretched out one of his palms and said.

There are no more than five sides in the world?

This is definitely the rarest and rarest item these Hu merchants have seen so far.

They didn't know that if Sun Xiangfu wanted to, he could add countless zeros after the word five, so he didn't say it was five sides, but just indicated the word five with his palm.

"Its quantity is too rare and its value is immeasurable, so it is not a commodity." Sun Xiangfu said again after many Hu merchants from the Western Regions looked at it in front of the mirror.

"Not a commodity?"

Hu merchants are surprised, it's not a commodity, what are you doing with it?
"Yes, if it's a commodity, none of you sitting here can afford it. So, it's a prize."

"prize?"

This time, the Hu merchants were even more surprised.In their interpretation of the Chinese language, there is no difference between a reward and a gift. Could it be that Sun Duhu is going to give this peerless treasure to one of these Hu merchants?
All the participants were excited at the moment, and some even imagined that after they got this peerless mirror, they would return home and dedicate it to their king in exchange for a marquis or even a duke.

"Then who do you want to reward this mirror to?"

Arsako asked all Hu Shang what was in his heart.

"Next year, the person who can provide me with the most items on these lists." Sun Xiangfu pointed to the list he sent to Hu merchants earlier.

Hearing that this thing will not be given to them until next year, the Hu merchants suddenly woke up from their fantasy, and what they thought in their minds was how to collect the above things after going back.

A businessman's brain is quick to react.Among them, some people have already thought that if they want to collect more goods on the list, they must first have more wealth. So, how to have more wealth?Bringing more products back to China for sale is one way.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu just threw out a mirror reward as bait, but it played a role in catalyzing the sales of all commodities. Hu merchants no longer pick and choose. What they want to do most now is to sell Shanyang All the goods I bought were on loan. Anyway, these things were transported back to the Western Regions, it was just a matter of profit, and some of them were profitable.

After the Hu merchants thought about it, Sun Xiangfu said again, "It's getting late today, so let's go here first! You invited the Anbei Governor's Office to do the loan guarantee for you, and the governor agreed. , this mirror will be displayed here for three days, and the governor will send officials here to sign a loan agreement with the agreed business for you. In these three days, you can negotiate as soon as possible to purchase the goods that need to be borrowed. After all, we are kind In the places north of Yangyang, it will snow before October, and the road after snow is not easy to walk.”

After saying this, Sun Xiangfu left the hall under the respectful escort of the Hu merchants. The reason why he limited the Hu merchants to three days is because the shorter the time, they are eager to reach an agreement. Give a higher purchase price.

The second reason is that Li Jing needs to leave quickly, otherwise, it will be bad when those aristocratic families realize the strangeness of the army.

Leaving Xue Li and hundreds of relatives on the third floor of the Wangjiang Building, and the guards on the third floor outside watching the mirror, Sun Xiangfu rode back.

There is also a reason for him to put the mirror like this. Sometimes, the more solemn you look at this thing, the more precious it will be, and if it is not precious, will it need so many people to guard it day and night?
Before Sun Xiangfu returned to his mansion, many people from wealthy families who had already rushed to Shanyang to live in knew some news about the product promotion meeting, and the mirror became something they wanted to see.

In order to protect the mirror from breaking, and to prevent the craftsmanship behind the mirror from being cracked, Sun Xiangfu asked the craftsmen to stick the back of each mirror with a metal mirror and frame it to death.If you want to know what is behind the mirror, you must have the courage to break the mirror. This is a value trap. I believe that no one will take the initiative to break it before the mirror and glass are flooded.

In order to extract the benefits of this product, Sun Xiangfu strictly limited the amount of glass fired by several craftsmen. In addition to being used for telescope research, the total number of mirrors produced was only four or five, one for the palace, one for Yu Xiuer, and one for Wangjiang. There is one side in the lobby of the building, and the other side, Sun Xiangfu took it out for auction when he was preparing for the investment promotion meeting.

When he got home, Yu Xiu'er thoughtfully prepared a supper for him.

"Husband, I plan to go to the theater tomorrow."

"What? Want to sing again? It doesn't matter, if you like it, go for it! Your husband, my wings are hardened now, and I am not afraid of impeachment by those censors. As long as you are happy, it is not a problem for my husband to help you."

Taking a sip of the honey lotus seed soup beautifully, what Sun Xiangfu said was full of sweetness and warmth from the soup.

"I don't want it anymore. My father said that it is not easy for you to reach such a position at such a young age. I should try my best to protect my husband's dignity." Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er smiled sweetly, but after thinking about it, she still said coyly .

"What's decent? Is it decent to be flattered by those rotten scholars? You're wrong. Being a husband is not the same as their education, and you're not the same person at all.

Moreover, the decency they are talking about is not a pure thing.

To say that other industries are cheap is just for them to protect their social status and interests. When your husband can bring them greater benefits, even if you go to the stage to sing ghosts and howls, they have to obediently go below the stage Give you a round of applause. "

Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu couldn't help but think of Boss Ma's singing performance at a large-scale performance in the future. At that level, the KTV level is in the middle and lower reaches, and the sound of applause is a tsunami.

"Husband, you hate it, who sang ghosts and wolves..."

"Uh, huh, I used the wrong words for my husband. They were not honest enough to applaud in the audience, and I called them howling ghosts and howling wolves for my husband. Come on, come on, I just got inspiration for my husband. I will write a few new songs for you on the spot. Maybe you can sing in the grassland It's popular..."

In the middle of the night, the communication between the couple came to the end, and it always ended with a voluptuous picture, but they didn't know that there was a little girl who was a new guest at Sun's Mansion because she was too excited, and accidentally listened to their conversation, so, The next morning, Yu Xiu'er was sad, and Dongzhu insisted on pulling her to learn singing from her.

Sun Xiangfu went to the Yamen again early in the morning, and things did not go as he expected. In the face of interests, these Hu merchants in the Western Regions were very motivated. Perfume and essential oil shop first, then wine, sugar, honey, etc., even the wholesale shop of ready-made clothing.

The shopkeepers from one shop to another were invited to Wangjiang Tower by them to sign a loan agreement, and even the traditional commodity stores opened by the aristocratic families followed suit. Taking Wang Xu's shop as an example, the price was always more than one catty The fennel, that is, the cumin that Sun Xiangfu said, the value of this thing in the Western Regions, converted into Datang copper coins, is at most three or four hundred yuan a catty.

But this time, they bought a lot from Wang Xu's shop, because the wholesale price given by the shopkeeper of Wang Xu's shop was only 150 Wen a catty, and they could sell it to tribes in the grassland at several times the price along the way, even if they brought Returning to the mainland can also earn more than double the profit. When other commodities are in short supply, or they are willing to sell on loan, the huge reserves of cumin in Wang's shop have become one of their good choices.

The reason why Wang Xu lowered the price of cumin to such a low level was firstly because he was frightened by the increasing amount of cumin in his warehouse, and secondly because Sun Xiangfu persuaded him that the growth of 80 mu of spice fields was too large. Well, the harvest directly reached a million stones.

After all, there are only a few people in Datang who can eat high-priced spices, and they can't digest so many spices at all. Not surprisingly, next year his spice field will inevitably produce more spices. So, in addition to exporting, the only way to reduce the price , so that the whole people can enjoy the spices, so that the output of his fields can be sold continuously.

Of course, this is in Shanyang, the place of production. Except for harvesting, Wang Xu basically has no transportation costs, and it is sold in large quantities. It may reach more than three hundred wen per catty.

The output of one mu of spice field is more than one stone, and the output of 80 mu of land is about 100 million stones. How much is it to sell all of them?This is more than 1000 million guan, the number is big enough to make Wang Xu's heart skip a beat.

Therefore, Wang Xu, who was in a good mood, sent [-] stones of spices to Sun Xiangfu's mansion before the field was harvested. , then came to Sun Xiangfu's office in the Yamen of the Duhu Mansion in a majestic manner.

"I said, if you have something good, why don't you want to sell it to me, the mirror in Wangjiang Tower, you can set the price whatever you want, I want it."

"Hehe, it turns out that the local tyrants have arrived, and they are welcome! Aren't you busy harvesting the spices in the fields these days? Why do you have time to hang out with me?"

The two chatted and saluted with a smile, and then the person in charge brought milk tea and dried fruits.

Wang Xu has a high acceptance of the new furniture in Shanyang City. After sitting down on the grand teacher's chair opposite Sun Xiangfu, he picked up the milk tea and said, "My father asked me to post a post for you. , want to see you."

"Each family? How many families have you come?" Sun Xiangfu asked. He didn't expect that the patriarchs and patriarchs of the top families would all come. The standard was so high that it was beyond his expectation.

"Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, Zhaojun Li, and even Longxi Li have all come."

"Really? Then your royal family's spices must have sold a lot in the past few days!" Sun Xiangfu said with a thump in his heart.

Fortunately, other families said that Longxi Li, who had always been aloof and regarded himself as the emperor, actually got involved this time. You must know that Li Yuan was a branch of the Longxi Li family.

"What should I say, I want to buy your precious mirror! How about it? Make a price, 20 guan and [-] guan in cash, and I can afford it now." Wang Xu said with some pride.

"Hehe, if Mr. Wang knows the reason why these people buy spices, I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to come to me and clamor to buy mirrors." Sun Xiangfu hooked his mouth and looked at him with meaningful eyes.

"How do you say it?" Wang Xu was surprised when he heard the words. Could it be that the spices can't be sold?
"Prince, you see that you will make tens of millions of dollars this year. Are they jealous? They buy a lot of spices, except for some of them for food. I guess they also have the idea of ​​planting their own. If everyone grows spices, Then, next year, the spices that Wang Gongzi planted will probably be able to sell for the price of grain at most."

Provocation, this is blatant provocation, but Wang Xu felt that what Sun Xiangfu said was for his own benefit, because he was really trying to find a way to help him keep his vested interests.
