Chapter 291 Another Story

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran has been thinking about what merit is.

    The general formula of the "Innate Merit Sutra" has long been said, "Gong is merit, virtue is good deeds, sincerity is merit, and perfection is virtue." If you want to gain the power of merit, you must work hard and gain recognition.  What to do?  Do good deeds and do practical things.  Whose approval is it?  Obtain the recognition of believers and the Taoist sect.

    The reason why Zhao Ran wants to think about this problem is that his merit power has not increased at all in the past three months, and his daily cultivation still relies on the merit power bonus provided by the people of Junshan.  Logically speaking, he often did some good deeds during this period. For example, when he saw the poor people in Xia Kingdom, he donated some money. Among the people he made friends with, he would also come forward to help anyone who was in trouble.

    Another example is the establishment of the trading platform Jinbo Auction House.  Zhao Ran knew that Cangjie created characters, Shennong tasted grass, Zhurong started fire, and Nuwa mended the sky. These were all great merits. This kind of merit was different from giving alms to the poor and relieving the people. It was a real great merit that benefited the people of the world, because  What they improve is people's living conditions.  So Zhao Ran tried to establish Jinbo Auction House. Logically speaking, this also has the property of improving people's living conditions and should be part of merit. But now, it has not brought him any merit.

    Zhao Ran thought about it and could only attribute the reason to the concept of "believers". He guessed that perhaps as a member of the Taoist sect, he must be recognized by the Taoist sect's believers in order to bring him a bonus of merit.  He further speculated that perhaps the things done in the past three months were offset by the words "Amitabha" from the nobles and common people of Xia Kingdom, and the merits were attributed to the Buddha, so naturally they had nothing to do with him.

    Every time he thought about this, he felt a little aggrieved, and he thought with some malicious intent. In this case, let's verify it from the opposite angle and see if doing bad things will reduce merit?

    The establishment of the price tag was the beginning of his malicious intentions.  The hype of "Shizhou Hump" is the first verification of it.

    A story began to circulate in the market in Xingqing Prefecture. It was basically about the love between a prairie tribe prince and a Shizhou girl, but it was mixed with the concept of Shizhou hump meat.  At first, the people of Xingqing, especially the dignitaries and businessmen, just listened to gossip and book reviews, but later they gradually discovered that the number of Shizhou hump meat in Xingqing territory began to decrease drastically.

    Shizhou and Ganzhou are the main producing areas of camels in the Xia Kingdom, accounting for 70% of the camels in the Xia Kingdom. Shizhou mainly produces dromedary camels, while Ganzhou produces bimodal camels.  The meat of Shizhou single-humped camel is chewy and chewy, while the meat of Ganzhou double-humped camel is fat. The difference between the two is very good, and you can tell it when you taste it.

    With the decrease in hump meat in Shizhou, the shrewd businessmen immediately noticed the abnormality.  At the last auction of Jinbo Auction House at the end of September, the price of camel hump meat in Shizhou increased by 15% compared with the previous one. This situation added fuel to the fire, and businessmen immediately went to Shizhou to purchase dromedary camels.

    ¡°But after they arrived in Shizhou, they were told that this year¡¯s dromedary production had dropped sharply, and the number they could buy was much lower than expected.  When they rushed back to Xingqing with the small amount of dromedary camels they purchased, they discovered to their surprise that the price of camel hump meat in Shizhou had increased by another 30%. So these people immediately gave up the idea of ??shipping and were dissatisfied with the price of Jinbo Auction House.  The price of the brand is eagerly awaited and sold at a reasonable price.

    The price of Shizhou camel hump meat has risen sharply on the market, and the prices of hump meat and vegetables in restaurants are also ridiculously high. Even the hump meat of Ganzhou Bactrian camels has also risen a lot.  In particular, the Jinbo Club Restaurant has added a new famous dish - Yuzhan Camelback, which tastes extremely good. The price of this dish alone has reached five taels of silver, and it has become a good talk among the upper-class nobles of Xingqing Mansion.

    By mid-October, the auction price of a Shizhou dromedary camel had reached as high as twenty taels of silver, a full five times increase.  Not only in Xingqing, but also in Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Huaizhou, Dingzhou and other places, Shizhou hump meat has become popular. It can be eaten stewed, burned, pickled, etc., and the price is also high.  It's ridiculously high.

    On October 23, Li Qianshun, the current ruler of the Xia Kingdom and the under-16-year-old Yong'an Emperor, tasted the jade-cup hump specially prepared in the palace by the chef of Jinbo Restaurant, and praised it, "It tastes fresh and mellow, and I am very happy."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With these words, the transaction price of the Shizhou dromedary camel at Jinbo Auction House on October 26th immediately climbed to forty taels of silver.  At this price, the more than 400 Shizhou dromedary camels that Jinbo Club quietly purchased in the early stage began to be sold in small batches, making a net profit of fifteen thousand taels!

    In early November, the price of dromedary camels in Shizhou reached fifty taels. Zhao Ran informed Yeli Huaide to ship, but reminded him seriously that the number of shipments must be strictly limited in small batches.  Through Liang Xingxia's operation, Yeli Huaide sold 800 camels in five batches and made a net profit of more than 30,000 taels. In one fell swoop, he earned the preparation expenses for establishing a cavalry command.

    Throughout the whole process, Zhao Ran did not feel any loss of merit, which once again verified his idea.??, the power of merit and believers are closely related.  With this successful verification, Zhao Ran became more interested and began to plan the next step. He planned to use the Xia Kingdom to practice, move some things from later generations to implement them, and in the process of implementation, he would transform this world and explore out the future.  If you implement a suitable path after returning to the Ming Dynasty, you may be able to create a new way to earn merit!

    At an auction in mid-November, the price of Shizhou dromedary camels began to fall, falling to forty-six taels. Yeli Huaide was very anxious and immediately came to find Zhao Ran.  So Zhao Ran, Gao Yanei, and Liang Xingxia gathered together again to discuss how to deal with Ye Li Huaide.

    "Dragon Cheng, the price of dromedary camels has dropped by nearly 10%. Has our trick been seen through? Do you think our Yeli Department should simply ship in large quantities, even if it drops by half, we will still make a profit? Now that others have exposed it,  Did you earn more before?"

    Zhao Ran consoled him: "It's normal to have some decline. First, the market in Xingqing Prefecture is not big and is almost saturated at this high price; secondly, some merchants got camels at low prices in the early stage - of course higher than us.  A lot, but even so, you have made a lot of money. This is called profit realization. When you get tired of hearing the three stories, your enthusiasm will always decline. But don¡¯t worry, as long as you, the Noli Department, strictly limit the quantity of shipments, you will not  Where did it fall? It is better to do business for a longer period of time. If Noribu has such a high-priced product, of course the longer it can be sold, the better."

    Yeli Huaide breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, our Yeli tribe has informed all members that anyone who sells dromedary camels privately will be killed without mercy, and his wife and daughter will be sold into slavery."

    Liang Xingxia also said at the side: "Don't worry, little Marquis, we can set a floor price. If the price falls below forty, we will use the money to buy it back, so that the price of the dromedary will be stable above forty taels."

    Zhao Ran glanced at Liang Xingxia and said to himself that this guy has a very smart mind and he also knows about "price stabilization."

    Gao Yanei suddenly said: "Have you heard about the Chengdong family? Now there is a story in Xingqing Mansion. It is said that a princess of a certain tribe was terminally ill. Some poor mountain people in the Kunlun Mountains collected snow lotus and presented it to them, and the princess was cured.  He was terminally ill and became the Prince Consort with this skill."

    Zhao Ran and Liang Xingxia looked at each other and laughed. Zhao Ran said: "I heard that, some smart people must have seen through our method of hyping Shizhou dromedary camels and want to learn from it. I'm tired of hearing the story just now.  Enthusiasm always fades, and that¡¯s what I¡¯m talking about. As soon as this story came out, it naturally diverted everyone¡¯s attention, and this is also the reason for the drop in dromedary camel prices.¡±

    Yeli Huaide frowned: "Is there such a thing? I have been focusing on forming a new army recently, but I haven't paid much attention to it. If this is the case Dalang, do you understand clearly? Who is hyping Xuelian?  It must be dealt with severely.¡±

    Zhao Ran said: "That's not necessary. Hyping up Snow Lotus will affect the price of dromedary camels in the short term, but over time, not only will it not drag down dromedary camels, but it will push up the price of dromedary camels. Doing business requires  Look at the general trend. If the general trend is good, everyone will make money." It was hard to say in front of Ye Li Huaide. In fact, Zhao Ran was reminding Gao Yanei that it is not a bad thing for someone to speculate on snow lotus. Jinbo Auction House can  If this market becomes bigger, it will be a good thing for the shareholders of Jinbo Club.

    But Gao Yanei didn't seem to understand. He turned to Yeli Huaide and said, "I asked someone to inquire about it. This story first came from Yanhui Restaurant, and there is also a comment in the book today, 'Clear and moisturizing, hundreds of flowers.  The pulse is both good. But what I said today was not taught by the Queen Mother, it was said by him himself."

    After hearing this, Yeli Huaide nodded and sneered: "I see." He turned to Zhao Ran and said: "Dong Cheng, there is nothing to say this time. Do they want to speculate on Kunlun Snow Lotus? Just daydream! Kunlun Snow Lotus is the winner!  You can¡¯t enter Jinbo Auction House!¡±
