Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 285 Want to sell underwriting?no way!
The price of soybeans is a little higher than that of rice these days, but it is not much higher. After all, in the era when filling the stomach was the primary task, food was the first in the eyes of the people. No matter how expensive other things are, they have nothing to do with them. It's not big - you don't have to buy it!

The brilliant point of the agreement between Jinyu and Goguryeo is that one catty of soybeans is exchanged for three catties of grain. There is no such thing as international aid these days, let alone transnational grain business.If a ship has a load of 10 tons and stores all the grain, if the grain costs one penny per catty and the profit rate is 100%, a ship will make a profit of 20000 pennies per trip, which is 20 yuan. It is estimated that the labor cost is enough!What about storing porcelain or silk?I am afraid that if you take out three or five pieces, you can easily make a profit of 20 yuan.Besides, businessmen are profit-seeking, and the people they face are nobles and rich people. If a businessman says to load a ship of grain to do cross-border business, let alone whether anyone follows him, will someone scold him for being a fool ( At this time, there is no such thing as a traitor), even if it is shipped over, I am afraid that few people will buy it, because they are too poor to eat, so how can they have money to buy food?The money is in the hands of the nobles!However, bartering is different. As long as the people are willing to endure hardships and cultivate the land, they don’t have to go anywhere. They can exchange the output of the land for food. Who wouldn’t like it?Jinyu saw this, so he proposed to exchange one catty for three catties. This is also the most attractive point for Quan Gai Suwen. At the national level, the meaning of representation is different.

Jin Yu once thought about a question, can he eat soybeans with the power of the whole country?After thinking about it, I laughed at myself as naive.It is true that one catty for three catties is very tempting for Goguryeo, but it is impossible for a country to fully believe in Jinyu. In the early stage, it will focus on less testing, and then increase promotion efforts after stabilization in the later period. You can use the high profit of soap to eat soybeans. When Li Erye shouts to kill you one day, you can still use the stored soybeans to maintain the supply of soap for two or three years, which leaves time for looking for production raw materials again later. .

With Erye Li's words lightly, it took Jin Yu another six or seven days to finish revising the plan, and in the middle he asked Chen Rui to buy caustic soda.As for the weakness of Jinyu’s plan, I’m afraid there is only caustic soda. These days, there is only natural and purified caustic soda. Jinyu wants to use electrolysis to produce industrial alkali, but the difficulty of tinkering with electricity is not much less than conquering the world. , it is not realistic at all, so Jinyu is still looking for a supply chain honestly.The workshop at home was already on the right track, and the shopkeepers were a bit overqualified, and it happened that three young shopkeepers were fooled and went straight to the production area of ​​caustic soda.In later generations, the price of caustic soda was not high, but its application range was very wide. In the Tang Dynasty, the application range was very narrow, so the price was not difficult to accept. Compared with the profit of soap, it can be ignored.

What's even more shameless is that the start-up capital that Jin Yu gave to the three shopkeepers was the deposit of each participating party... Jin Yu usually only brought some scattered silver, and this was the first time he had seen a formal official bank.When he sold to Mu Nan Plastics last time, Mu Nan really cheated Jin Yu.Silver is the currency in circulation these days. Generally, merchants do not accept a large amount of private silver. The quality of private silver is not good, and it is troublesome to recirculate. You need to pay a certain handling fee from the government. Last time, Mu Nan paid Jinyu exactly private bank.Afterwards, Jin Yu didn't get angry when he found out, since he earned it anyway.

The workmanship of this official silver is not beautiful, and the styles are also different. Some are cake-shaped, and some are silver collars, but there are stamped handwritings from the government on them, indicating where the silver was cast, what year it was cast, and how much it weighs.Jin Yuzhuo feels that it may be for anti-counterfeiting or evidence-based investigation, or it may be that the government's credibility is not bad these days. With these handwritings, it shows that it is sufficient, so you can use it with confidence...

In November, God rewarded the earth with a layer of snow, which was covered in silver and was extraordinarily enchanting, but Father Sun showed his face for a long time and successfully turned the dirt road into a dirt road. Jin Yu will silently complain about Li Erye: I have been here many times, and I don’t know how to allocate public funds to build roads. Even if I don’t want to build roads, just give me a road building permit. I will do it myself, but There are many times when the sky fails to meet people's wishes.

As the saying goes: Snow does not turn cold into snow. Jin Yu is fully armed after get off work, and he can still feel the warm greetings from the north wind while riding a horse.Walking to Zhuangtou and stepping on the cement road, Jinyu felt a sense of pride spontaneously: the cement road was swept clean by the farmer, he consciously drove on the right side on the passing road, and occasionally saw a snowman made by naughty children on the side of the road, honest and cute, This is all due to my good teaching, and it is all my own merits. It is not too much for Li Erye to reward some money for repairing the road...

Jin Yu's fire of pride had just started to be interrupted when someone interrupted him, his face was so strange that he didn't know him.

"Dr. Jin, Lu Ziqi of the Lu family in Fanyang, I would like to ask Dr. Jin to show you his face." Lu Ziqi stood on the side of the road, not blocking the way, but just stood aside to greet Jin Yu.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Jin Yu dismounted to greet others. These days, people who add place names in front of their surnames have a bit of background, such as aristocrats... Maybe Liang's participation in the auction these days is a bit miserable?Look at this baby who is so cold, his face is livid and smiling, for the sake of so-called etiquette, he didn't even put his hands to his mouth to breathe for warmth, but this baby is wearing too little clothes, right?Compared with him, he was simply too bloated, and it was difficult for him to recognize himself in full armor.

"Dr. Jin's face is hard to see. Thanks to my sister's reminder, Ziqi finally got Dr. Jin." Although it was cold, Lu Ziqi still acted very gracefully. Seeing that Jin Yu was a little confused, he added: " Oh, the uncle who is in the next room."

"Oh! It turned out to be Brother Lu, Mr. Jin was rude, let's go to the house to warm up. Brother Lu is very cold, right? I really shouldn't bother Brother Lu to wait for a long time, Mr. Jin should visit Brother Lu in person!" When Jin Yu heard that he was Fang Xuanling's brother-in-law, he became enthusiastic. Fang Yizhi's mother is a famous vinegar jar, and Fang Xuanling is also famous for bronchitis. Seeing that Mr. Fang helped him back then, this point Face still has to be given.

Hearing Jin Yu's polite words, Lu Ziqi rolled his eyes. He has been in Jinjiazhuang for several days and has been arranged in a restaurant.He came to the door many times to ask for an interview, but was stopped by the porter.He was very angry yesterday, and he was going to see his eldest sister before returning home. Unexpectedly, his elder sister had a good opinion of Jin Yu, and suggested that he wait to meet again.I haven't even seen Jin Yu's face, when will I have to wait?It was Fang Yizhi who interjected: Dr. Jin was dressed in a unique style, and my uncle pinpointed the time when Dr. Jin would finish class, and waited at the entrance of the village.

"Dr. Jin's outfit is really unique, and this is the first time I've seen Lu." Lu Ziqi always smiled and looked very polite.Xin said, no wonder when I asked my nephew Jinyu last night how he was unique, the nephew just laughed and said that he could tell which one was Jinyu at a glance.The businessman from the Western Regions probably didn't have the cover of his package either. Only two eyes were kept on the whole body, and everything else was covered.

"Brother Lu was joking, isn't this for keeping out the cold? It's cold early this year. If I don't wear thick clothes, I really dare not go out. Brother Lu, please come in." Jin Yu handed the reins to the porter, and handed Lu Zi Lead into the house.Maybe after a while, other bidders will come to see me one after another, right?Looks like it's going to be busy for a while.

"Looking at Dr. Jin's appearance, Lu even wants to play a suit." After entering the house, Jin Yu took off his mask, hat, scarf, and gloves, and he didn't look like he was frozen at all. envious.

"It's easy to say, there are ready-made ones in the warehouse, and I will send Brother Lu a set later to ensure that it fits." After entering the room, Jin Yu took off his coat, hung the equipment on the hanger, and turned around to entertain Lu Ziqi.

"Then thank you, Dr. Jin." As soon as he entered the teahouse where Jin Yu entertained guests, Lu Ziqi felt the heat wave coming, and his attire was about the same in the house, but he looked a little thin when he went out. "Dr. Jin's house is nice, warm and not stuffy."

"Thanks to this stove. Brother Lu is still satisfied with the hospitality of the restaurant these two days?" Jin Yu pointed to the stove in the corner. This stove sold well, but most of them supplied the nobles in Chang'an City. many.

"Dr. Jin is bothering you. To be honest, living at home is more comfortable than Lu's. No wonder my sister said that Dr. Jin will enjoy it. It's a well-deserved reputation!" Lu Ziqi said with satisfaction. Thoughtful, especially the things called soap and shampoo, the memory is particularly deep...

"It's good if you're satisfied. What do Brother Lu think of the soap and shampoo? Can you sell them?" Jin Yu didn't want to spend time going around in circles with him. There are still several companies waiting to be interviewed by him, so let's get straight to the point.

"It's a good thing. If the price is right, Lu is willing to eat Dr. Jin's soap and shampoo on behalf of Fan Yang and Lu." Lu Ziqi knew that these things were good things. There are many gentlemen like himself, who wouldn't want to clean yourself?Who wouldn't want to roll clean under a blanket?
"Then why do you have the nerve to work hard on Brother Lu? Haha." Naturally, Jin Yu would not hang this great business on Lu Ziqi, even if he is Fan Yang Lu, even if he has a sister who is jealous...Look at Lu Ziqi's tricks , Jinyu made it clear directly: "Jin will not only find one agent, but will give different quotas according to different regions. Of course, as for regions and quotas, it depends on whether the other party cooperates with this auction."

"Lu Mou understands, and he will definitely satisfy Dr. Jin." Lu Ziqi is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he understood that he really didn't like Jin Yu, isn't he just a little doctor of the Imperial College?Isn't it just an earl?But last night's brother-in-law's point made him get rid of his contempt for confidant, and he said directly: this jade potato will not have a family status in two years. If you want to get jade potato seeds, you can only get them from Jinguitang. His Majesty acquiesced...
