Dai Feiying also returned to the living room.
After Sadoduo left, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are so generous! That pack of White Rabbit toffees is enough to earn him several years' salary. Giving him another ten taels of gold would be a waste! I I¡¯m really worried about his increased appetite.¡±
Liu Mingqi waved her hand: "No matter how much you give someone, he may not always be grateful. But if you take advantage of others in doing business, then he will definitely bear grudges!"
Gong Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Wonderful! Your words, Your Majesty, are so precise! They really make sense! The words of a saint are indeed different!"
?Actually, this is nothing special.
It¡¯s just a variation of ¡°rising rice, favoring rice, fighting rice and enmity¡±.
This is also an experience that everyone has summarized after the development of modern commerce.
??In fact, it has been around since ancient times.
It¡¯s just that whatever experiences and lessons the ancients summarized have limitations.
Unless it is a book like Lao Fuzi's "The Analects" and "Mencius" that are published all over the world, many truths will be buried in time.
? Just like many of our unique technical processes.
Many people can¡¯t believe that some of the skills of the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago cannot be replicated in modern times.
So those who say that the ancients were stupid and backward really don¡¯t understand how great their ancestors were.
Xiao Suqin was already taking care of the business of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Seeing this, she asked, "Your Highness, is this red devil something very important?"
"right!"
Liu Mingqi nodded, "But it doesn't have much economic value. It's just a seasoning at best! It's similar to garlic, green onions, and peppercorns, but people who like it really like it."
Hearing this, Dai Feiying felt a burst of disappointment.
Businessmen¡¯s news is the fastest.
¡°Everyone knows that His Highness King Deok has purchased a lot of things through overseas businessmen.
There are rumors that sweet potatoes were introduced from overseas.
Then cigarettes, which gradually became popular in Jiangnan during the Spring Festival, are also considered one.
There is no doubt about the yield of sweet potatoes.
The emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all witnessed the sweet potato harvest. It was said that there was a harvest of two thousand kilograms per acre in one year. Such a high yield completely shocked everyone.
It can be clearly said that the minds of many businessmen who were ready to make a move were suppressed by this shocking news.
Once sweet potatoes really have such incredible yields, there will be no problems in Dakang. Naturally, there will be no market environment where they want to make trouble, buy low, sell high, and be reluctant to sell and make huge profits.
As for cigarettes, the current output is very low.
Even Dai Feiying only received a carton of cigarettes from his cousin in Beijing, and after smoking them for a while, he didn¡¯t feel any good.
But it is said that those dandy boys who have stocks and can smoke every day think it is very good.
Even some middle-aged people like to use cigarettes to refresh themselves.
He didn¡¯t notice this, so he decided to wait until the production of cigarettes was expanded in the future, and then get some more to try.
No matter what, it can be seen from the cigarettes and sweet potatoes that the prince in front of him likes to find new things and then use them.
Dai Feiying originally thought that this time she would be able to follow suit, but she didn't expect that Liu Mingqi directly said it was just "seasoning".
Things like seasonings may have some value, but for business people, their value is very small, they are troublesome to handle, and they are very regional and not suitable for national circulation.
As a result, Dai Feiying's mind became lighter.
¡¡
Saduoduo came back soon.
Not only did he bring back ten red devil plants, he also brought back a person.
A very fat and tanned typical Southeast Asian.
"Your Majesty!"
This man in his forties is very sensible. He kneels down when he enters the door and then greets him with a big salute, "It's my pleasure to meet you, Zasuli, a young businessman from Brunei."
Liu Mingqi smiled, "Get up, how do you know I am the prince's?"
Zasuli said with an honest smile: "It happened that the villain made a deal here, and he happened to know that a noble prince was going to live in this inn. One look at you, and I knew that you were full of nobility. Isn't that the prince? In person?"
Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t quite believe what he said, but that wasn¡¯t the point.
He likes to talk to businessmenbsp; If it¡¯s disgusting, just say it¡¯s disgusting. You don¡¯t take yourself as a person at all!
The businessmen in Jiangnan will never learn from his humility.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not to mention the businessmen from Shiwei, Xiqiang, Nanzhao and other places I met before, who has such a shameless face?
Gong Yuan was a little disdainful.
He was born into a scholarly family and was not interested in business.
People like this who are just doing business without any backbone and persistence are not worthy of his attention at all.
But Liu Mingqi thinks it¡¯s pretty good.
Only with a very strong ambition and desire can you have a positive attitude towards doing business.
"Having said all that, are you capable of taking on this order?" Liu Mingqi asked again, "If you can only transport dozens of pieces of wood one ship at a time, that would be a joke!"
"No, no, no!"
Zasuli shook his head repeatedly: "I have two cooperative ships myself, and my partners have two more ships In addition, we can also find suitable partners in the nearby Langyaxiu and Mancijia, everyone. Let¡¯s do this business together.¡±
After listening to Zasuli¡¯s words, Liu Mingqi smiled and nodded.
Being able to clearly distinguish how much he has, and then not thinking about swallowing it in one go, but thinking about eating this big order with others, proves that Zasuli knows how to measure.
Only such people can provide Miao Yan with enough wood - as for the quality, those who want to pass off inferior quality wood will probably be dead ends in front of Miao Yan.
Lord Miao is now very wealthy.
??Zhenjiang, who came all the way from Huai'an, under the leadership of the Sima family, raised 1.5 million taels of silver for him, and Suzhou Prefecture even raised 3 million taels of silver.
This is a timely help for him, whose expenses are increasing and he needs to train more than 10,000 soldiers into elite soldiers.
If you want your soldiers to be strong enough, the first point is to feed them.
An ordinary adult man needs two to three kilograms of grain a day without much consumption. If he practices and trains hard every day, it is not a problem to eat ten kilograms of grain a day.
¡°And you can¡¯t increase your strength by just eating bran buns, thick rice porridge, etc. You still have to eat meat.
There are quite a lot of pigs raised in Jiangnan, but the price is more expensive than in the capital.
More than 10,000 people eat meat with open bellies every day, and one or two hundred pigs can be eaten easily.
Not only pork, but also cheaper fish meat is given to them, which is ground into minced fish with the bones, so that it will not get stuck.
¡° Then there are military supplies, such as armor, swords and guns especially the weird weapons designed by Liu Mingqi, which need to be customized.
????????? If all of them were added up, even if Miao Yan had squeezed 5 million taels of silver from the Yanzheng Yamen and fined the water transport dealer 5 million taels of silver, it would still be a bit stretched.
So after getting so much money, Miao Yan can not only actively train his soldiers, but also have more money to invest in shipbuilding.
Of course, Miao Heizi is an important official of the Legalist family and pays the most attention to cause and effect and contracts.
Since the protection fee had been paid, Miao Yan solemnly told the officials and the people of the two prefectures, "Once there is news that the Japanese have invaded and besieged the city, the Caoyun Yamen will definitely do its best to save it. I will never regret it!"
None of the businessmen like Miao Yan very much, but they have to admire Miao Yan's conduct in life.
They knew that Miao Yan would never lie and would definitely keep his promise, so they finally let go of half of his heart.
The remaining half must not only pray that the Japanese will not come to besiege the city, but also pray that the cavalry must be strong. At least they must have the strength to die with the Japanese. Only in this way can we protect everyone!
¡¡
After the matter was roughly settled, Zasuli was able to sit on the chair and take the tea handed to him by the maid with both hands.
Like Sadodo, he is not used to tea.
After just two sips, he put down the tea cup.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly froze, and he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, you just asked me if I have any novelties. I must say that there is indeed one It is a kind of refreshing water that we drink on weekdays. , it doesn¡¯t have the fragrance of tea, but it¡¯s just as bitter, and when you drink it, it has a wonderfully fragrant taste, a bit like oil, and it feels pretty good.¡±
Liu Mingqi thought for a while and didn't understand what he was talking about: "Is this water naturally generated?"
"no."
Zasuli shook his head, "It is a kind of melon that grows on a vine. It contains a lot of small brown beans. We call it black beans. After the black beans are shelled, the kernels are ground into powder, and then used to brew and drink ¡I have a lot more on board, I¡¯ll show them to you later.¡±
Liu Mingqi felt a little familiar.
"Brown beansshellednutsbitterfragrantoilBrunei"
He organized these words, and something suddenly came to his mind.
Damn it!
Could it be Cocoa? ?
