The territory of the Wu Dynasty is your dragon's territory and your tiger's nest.
If you're willing to take a ride with me, I'll get in. If you're not willing, I'll pull you down.
That's where the profit of the market lies. If you are short of you, it will be a lot, and if you are more, it will not be much.
In addition to the three necessities, the majority of grassland profits are still luxury goods. We don’t want to consider ordinary herdsmen. The final service of the household market is still the leader.
"Lao Xia, who did you learn this from?" Gao Shan quickly took another sip to suppress the surprise in his heart.
He also had headaches about these things before. The northern border has many mountains and little water, difficult roads, and inconvenient transportation. Relief-for-work can only improve but not change.
Don't be a middleman in other countries, hide profits in the dark, and support with both hands.
But it is impossible for the Wu Dynasty to completely let go of basic daily necessities such as salt and rice. Once they let go, God knows what will happen.
"Can't I think for myself?" Xia Abacus said angrily, "Salt can be used, but food cannot. It's still the same method as before. Food and grass from abroad cannot pass the Taihang line!"
"Of course I know that!"
"Okay, you have to dig into the wine and beverage business. After doing the household market, the transaction volume will soon increase. The more people there are, the greater the profits will be!" Xia Abacus said.
The bigger the plate, the more benefits. It’s not that I didn’t want to do it before, but it’s that I didn’t know how to do it.
The middlemen are so angry that everyone is so angry. Do you think they want to get kicked in the head by prairie war horses when they expand their market share?
…
The biggest benefit brought by the arrival of the Li brothers is not safety but food and companions.
Winter break, a boring area, is the most irritating to people's temperament.
Although warriors may be rough and arrogant in their work, when it comes to specific tasks, warriors are anxious and impatient, but their patience is as good as that of any dynasty.
In the prosperous years, military warriors can be as aggressive as fire, but in the declining years, warriors can also put away their ambitions and lurk in the wind and snow of the north.
If the equation has that patience, it may not suffer, so why should it suffer?
Warriors advocate martial arts, and the implementation is a military system that combines recruitment and government troops.
An official, let alone a civil servant or a military attaché, who had only a few years of experience in joining the army before entering the official career, could not expect to be looked at seriously.
Studying as a young man, joining the army as a young man, and taking the imperial examination as an adult were the paths that the descendants of the clans of the Wu Dynasty had to take before entering the court.
It took a little longer in the early days, but don't forget that the average life span in the Kyushu Continent has doubled.
Compared with the quota system prevalent in the Central Plains, the imperial examinations of the Wu Dynasty were slightly relaxed and generally okay.
Under a complete set of models, the Wu Dynasty may not be able to cultivate top civil servants, but it can obtain a large number of courageous middle- and lower-level officials. As these officials rise step by step, their courage turns into decisiveness, forming the Wu Dynasty's unique acting style today.
In the past contact with his sister, Fang Fang noticed many times that her sister wanted to send him to the military camp for training, but in the end she stopped talking due to heartbreak.
The Li brothers are obviously the elites cultivated under this system. They have no problem communicating with each other and can actually learn a lot from them.
"Mr. Fang, try it first!"
In the makeshift tent, half of a shiny lamb was suspended over a charcoal fire. Li Yanting used a knife to cut off a small plate of barbecue, grabbed a handful from the spice jar on the side, sprinkled it on, and handed it over to Fang Fang.
"Don't stick to me alone!"
He can also cook barbecue, but he can never cook it as authentically as the two brothers. Looking at the small pieces of skin-on barbecue on the plate, Fang Fang took a big bite with his index finger moving, "Let's chat while eating. We have been in contact for a long time, so just say whatever you want, there is no point in hiding it!"
"That's the truth!" Li Yannian looked slightly embarrassed, "But to be honest, I really don't know how to speak?"
"Because of what happened yesterday?"
Li Yannian nodded, "It is indeed because of what happened yesterday, not because of Yan Yin himself. How can I put it... I don't understand that the people of Song Dynasty have wealth, and there are many people who make excuses for this. Mr. Fang refused so hard and even tore him apart." It’s so embarrassing, don’t say you haven’t heard of it in the past, I’m afraid you haven’t even thought about it!”
Fang Fang's tavern can make money, but with this little money, people don't have the skills. Those who have the skills need to pay attention to food and appearance, while those who can see everything clearly can't avoid it.
"What would a warrior generally choose when someone from the Song Dynasty comes to visit him?" Fang Fang asked rhetorically.
Li Yanting shaved off a new plate of barbecue, held the plate with one hand and sneered, "Businessmen are unrighteous. Song people are mostly bastards. If you suffer too much, you will naturally know how to deal with it. You can't lose in the subsequent battle on your own territory, right?"
"The truth is right, but there is no negotiation without profit. Everyone knows that the key lies in the follow-up, but why are the people of Song Dynasty still willing to invest, knowing that they will most likely lose?"
Warriors are not stupid, Song people are more sophisticated.
Everyone has unwillingness and greed, and the people of the Song Dynasty are obviously more advanced than the martial arts people now.
"Market!" Li Yanting replied uncertainly.
"Is it just the market?"
After asking questions continuously, the Li brothers fell into silence, wondering why Fang Fang was asking.
"It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. On the surface, cooperation with the Song Dynasty only provided a market. However, the management rights in various parts of the Wu Dynasty were still in the hands of their own people. It seemed that there was no loss, but in fact a large number of high-quality goods were You can educate people!”
Li Yannian asked in confusion, "Education? What can this educate?"
"Habits and cognition!"
"Once a person's habits are formed, it is difficult to change them, or the environment they live in makes them unable to change. Have you seen the poor families in the city?" Fang Fang looked at the two brothers.
"When a family goes into decline and financial resources become increasingly scarce, they need to change their appearance to stay alive. When you pawn something for the first time, what will you choose?"
After a brief silence, Li Yanting said with some uncertainty, "Jade pendant? Ornament? No, it's underwear, or maybe shoes, because these things are usually not noticed by people. Even if they are replaced, it won't affect them for a while. To what?!"
"This is the power of habit, and then there is cognition, corresponding to the down-and-out households. There are also nouveau riche in the city. How will they choose products to express themselves when they are suddenly rich?"
"This is the potential power of high-quality goods. Regardless of whether the warriors like Song people or not, people all like beautiful things the same way. Today, warriors mostly wear fur as clothing. In the future, once the Song people come up with new clothes that can keep out the cold, Will there come a time when it will no longer be possible to distinguish between warriors and Song people by their clothes?"
Hearing this, the two brothers' expressions turned extremely ugly. This kind of thing was not impossible, but had already happened, but no one had noticed it.
"Okay, you don't need to think too deeply about this. I just gave an example. People in Song Dynasty haven't been able to do this yet, and they didn't think of this!" Fang Fang said with relief.
"But the people of the Song Dynasty have already started with food, haven't they?" Li Yannian said with a self-deprecating smile.
Fang Fang took a serious look at Li Yannian and said, "All matters need to be developed through exploration. The current thinking of the Song people is based on Yan Zi Chun Qiu. Before absolute success, they would not even dare to think about it. As long as we can break their plan in the coming year , all darkness will be exposed to the sun, and the people of Song Dynasty will be unable to do so even if they have the will, but the long-term pattern will not change, after all, you need to be strong to forge iron!"
