Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 282 Years
"How many shipwrights are there?"

Zuo Fu looked at the registration form of talents and skills submitted by the refugee camp, and was very surprised.

"There are more than 200 boatmen?!"

"Back to the words of the old parents."

Han Youfu bowed his body and said flatteringly: "The land of Bamin has many mountains and little farmland, and people who live near the sea have little to do with making a living. They can only fish and build boats."

"My Da Ming craftsman has a craftsman's identity, how could their county magistrate let him come here?"

"Going back to my old parents, I have asked about it. Over the years, there have been many sea troubles in Fujian. There have been big bandits Li, Yan, and Zheng. Now the big bandit Zheng is in charge of the sea..."

"Zheng Zhilong?"

Zuo Fu squinted his eyes, "He has been appeased long ago, how can he bring disaster to the village?"

"That's not true. I heard that Mrs. Zheng is quite bold. More than ten years ago, he even killed a group of red-haired ghosts. But now..."

Han Youfu lowered his voice and said: "I heard from the refugees that the Zheng family seems to have contacts with the Tatars, but in the past two years, there have suddenly been many pirates who robbed the people. They colluded secretly, afraid of being arrested and working for the Tartars, so they all hid in the mountains."

Zuo Fu fell silent after hearing this.

In the original history, Zheng Zhilong should have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty by this time.It's just that history has changed now, and the Ming and Qing courts are ready to negotiate a peace, so Zheng Zhilong shouldn't be in cahoots with the Qing court again, right?
"My lord, my lord?"

Seeing Zuo Fu's silence for a long time, Han Youfu was a little uneasy, "But what's wrong?"

"So, if these local officials are willing to let people go, they must have heard some rumors?"

Zuo Fu came back to his senses, and frowned even tighter.

She was silent for a while, and said: "You have done a good job in this matter, please comfort them, these are all talents, there is nothing to lose."

"Yes, yes, my little one obeys."

With Zuo Fu's affirmation, Han Youfu raised his eyebrows with joy, rubbed his hands together and said, "Last time in Ningbo, Zhejiang, there were more than a dozen shipwrights in the Zhoushan area. Now with these people, the old parents can build big boats." We Changzhou people are blessed!"

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "You seem to know a lot about Haimao?"

"My lord, the younger one is from Zhejiang. There are merchants passing by from time to time in my hometown on Daxie Island. Tsk tsk, they sell our tea and silk to red-haired ghosts, and they can make money! A shipment of goods, at least tens of thousands of profits Two silver coins!"

Zuo Fu nodded, "Now that the court is in trouble, His Majesty intends to open sea trade, and the results will come in the spring. Let's find people first, and once we can open the sea, we can make a lot of money."

Does the imperial court have this intention? !
This is just great!

Han Youfu was not burdened anymore, and even volunteered to say: "My lord, there are many good shipbuilders in my hometown, all of which are handed down from generation to generation. Zheng He's ships include many green-browed ships made by us in Ningbo. All these people have been recruited, and we will learn from each other with the Bamin shipbuilders, and we will definitely be able to build a better ship!"

Zuo Fu became interested and asked, "Is there still someone building ships in your hometown?"

"There are, but sea ships are not built much anymore."

Han Youfu sighed, "There are pirates entrenched on Zhoushan Mountain. I and other small people don't want my whole family to be punished. Many shipwrights have gone to Fenghua, and Cixi has gone to beg for a living."

He paused and said again: "However, my lord, their craftsmanship is still there. If I take it over now, I will definitely be able to build a good boat for my lord!"

He patted his chest vigorously, "My lord! Our shipbuilding in Ningbo is no worse than that of Fujian people! During the Tang and Song Dynasties, maritime trade flourished, and Mingzhou (Ningbo) was famous for its shipbuilding skills!"

Zuo Fu clapped his hands and said: "Okay! That's very good! I will issue an official document and send someone to escort you back to your hometown. You can find more people for me! By the way, I also want sailors who can sail. You pay attention to this official, and bring back all useful talents to this official! As long as you come to Changzhou, this official will not treat them badly! This matter is done, and I will remember your great contribution, and I will be rewarded by then!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Han Youfu thanked you again and again excitedly, "Thank you sir, thank you sir! The little one will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After Han Youfu left, Zuo Fu thought about it for a moment, then immediately took up a pen and wrote a seal for Zhu Cihong.

Be careful.

The news from the refugees is remarkable.It's best to have nothing to do, and if something happens, you can take precautions.It's also good to ask Jin Yiwei to check it out.

Handed the secret book to Zhang Ming, and said: "Eunuch Gao has placed a few people in the Jiangdong Gate Guard. You go back to the guard in person and hand this thing over to them. Remember, you must bypass the cabinet and deliver it to Your Majesty in person. hand."

After a pause, he continued: "If anyone asks, just say that I entrusted you to deliver New Year's goods to my mother. This matter is of great importance, so don't let the wind leak out. Only His Majesty can read this secret book."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Zhang Ming clasped his fists together and said, "Your subordinate, go get ready now!"

Zuo Fu nodded, "Be careful all the way!"

"Yes!"

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.Wujin has had a bumper harvest this year, and farmers' income has doubled several times.

The emergence of high-yielding rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yield products makes farmers not worry about starvation.The fish and ducks raised in the paddy fields also brought them extra income. Even farmers with only two or three acres of paddy fields at home can live a fairly plentiful year this year.

With spare money in hand, it is natural to consume.

Although these peasants are used to simplicity, for the New Year, they always have to pull some cloth, buy some meat, and get some delicious food, so that they can celebrate the New Year happily.

This year I have money in hand, and the things in Huimin Supermarket are good and cheap.I didn't have any money in my hand before, so I didn't dare to go in.Now that I have money, I also go in to open my eyes and buy some good things to go back.

The products of Huimin Supermarket are much richer than when they opened.

Although the ancients did not have those modern gadgets, some handicrafts and specialty products can still be sold in supermarkets.Due to the large quantity of purchases, it is quite affordable to give to the public.

Of course, the opening of Huimin Supermarket inevitably has an impact on small local merchants.But this is also impossible.In the world of capital, this is a competition for the survival of the fittest.The innovation of any model will impact the old things. This is a law that cannot be reversed by manpower.

And Zuo Fu, as a later generation, naturally knows that uncontrolled capital will become a disaster, so in Huimin Supermarket, food, salt and other items are still under the control of the government.

Those gentry and farmers are now willing to sell grain to the government.Although the price is cheaper, the advantage is that it is stable, the demand is large, and there is government endorsement, so you are not afraid of such things as defaulting.

Thanks to the cooperation of local merchants, Huimin Supermarket has expanded again.The two storefronts next door were also emptied out, and after opening up, they were refurbished.Now Huimin Supermarket has become the largest commodity sales center in the local area. Its reputation is so great that it even attracts businessmen from other places to look for business opportunities.

There are quite a lot of industries involved in the operation of the supermarket, which virtually provides many jobs.And because Zuo Fu implemented a relatively complete worker welfare system in Changzhou, they had to increase the commission for hiring people, and maintained the greatest kindness to these workers.

Not being kind will not work.Because if they are not kind, they will not be able to recruit even one person.After all, people can build roads and bridges for the government. Although it is a bit harder, they can earn a lot of money!
A good and perfect system guarantees the sound operation of the entire group, and the economy is getting better day by day.People who have money in their hands will naturally not be stingy with spending a few small money in order to comfort themselves for a year of hard work.

Not to mention, every year at the end of the year, Huimin Supermarket will launch a half-month discount activity.The discounts are so strong that no matter how stingy a person is, they can't escape the discounts, and they can always spend a few copper coins from their pockets.

The co-production of rice, duck and fish, and three-dimensional farming, make this year's new year's goods very rich.Herring pickled salted fish has been welcomed by the general public.

Although the price of salt in Changzhou is ridiculously cheap, for those who have been short of salt for a long time, they instinctively like these heavy-tasting things.

Buy a herring home, put some bean dregs cakes, and steam it, whether it is with rice or wine, it is supremely delicious.Even if there are guests, it is not a loss to entertain people.

Not to mention, the price is so cheap!A big herring only sells for 70 Wen. With such a fish, it is enough for a year.

In addition, that kind of floral cloth is also quite popular among the common people.For Chinese New Year, I always have to make one or two new clothes.

I had no money before, but now I have some money, so I can't lose myself, can I?

And the weird things in Huimin Supermarket have also attracted many rich people. 3D carved music boxes, preserved flowers, glass tableware, shower gel, shampoo, these are all good things.Take advantage of the discount to buy more and go home, whether you give it to someone or play it yourself, it is excellent.

And those wealthy daughters couldn't resist the temptation, so they wore dark fences and entered the skin care and make-up area that only entertained female relatives.

Pechoin, Materia Medica Xiangyi, Chunjuan and other brands of skin care products are highly sought after by ladies.There is nothing on the outer packaging of these cosmetics except the brand name, efficacy, and usage method.

Just like in the past, Taobao is always so worry-free.

And Zuofu can also make a big sale because of this.

Cosmetics has been a profiteering industry since ancient times, and the high-end series of domestic cosmetics in later generations has indeed done well.Once these skin care products were launched, they caused a sensation.

These wealthy daughters are like crazy, buying one after another series, and the masks are hoarded like crazy.

Cleansing, moisturizing, in short have to try.

And those makeup cabinets are always crowded with people.

CC cream with natural makeup, liquid foundation with strong concealer effect, sunscreen and isolation cream to prevent people from tanning, bright and colorful lipstick, lip gloss and eye shadow blush, eyeliner and mascara that can make eyes more beautiful, and There is an easy-to-use brow pencil…

These things drive these women crazy.And the makeup sales girls who demonstrate various makeup looks are also extremely sought after.

These ancient ladies couldn't figure it out, it was also makeup, how could these girls make themselves so good-looking?
