"If they make a profit, we won't lose. The time is almost up. You guys have two days off tomorrow and the day after. I will ask Xiaohu to let the news out. The year after next, it will still be Liyuan, and we will hold another meeting!"
The time is almost up and it’s time to close the net.
If the sheep continue to be dragged away, the lambs collected by each family will no longer be able to feed them. Three to four hundred thousand sheep are gathered in more than a dozen pastures, and the grass roots are almost eaten up by you. They must be given homes as soon as possible and sent to the corresponding pastures.
"It will be the day after tomorrow, and the heads of all the major chambers of commerce should be back!"
You Xianke and Huang An had just returned from Hushi, and they didn't know how they could survive in this dilapidated place with hollows on all sides.
The meeting was aimed at large chambers of commerce, but large chambers of commerce would not be able to afford it. Pasture is cheap, but cattle and sheep are expensive. Thousands of cattle and sheep are bought in waves, and those small chambers of commerce spit out all the profits.
Only large chambers of commerce are eligible to participate.
"By the way, are you guys ready?"
Huang An had been away for more than ten days, and many things that happened during this period were unknown to him.
Fang Fang looked at Shang Zhong who was also tired.
"That's almost it. The Tatar Tribe, the Xianbei Tribe, and the Wuheng Tribe. Each tribe has 100 households of herdsmen. We have also recruited 200 households within the territory. Each household can be responsible for 3,000 to 7,000 acres of grassland based on the population. At the same time, through Through channels, we have recruited 133 households of herdsmen affected by the disaster in the grasslands. We will place this group of herdsmen in the center of all grasslands. The manpower is absolutely sufficient. What is lacking now are residences and supporting facilities, and these we have also It has been finalized and everything will be put in place by May, and it will not affect the plan itself!”
"Where is Qinggutun?"
It has been almost two months since the full construction of Qinggu Tun was started. The equation cannot be solved anymore. This question can only be asked to Shang Zhong and Xia Heng.
"Shang Zhong has been running around recently, let me answer this question!" Xia Heng stood up, pulled out a drawing from the side, and spread it on the central coffee table. "The areas marked red are the completed areas, green means more than half of the work is completed, and gray represents the completed areas. The foundation has started to move, and the rest has not been touched yet!”
"At the current speed, the first phase can be completed by mid-June, which is slower than expected. In this season, many people need to go home!"
The lambing season is too labor-intensive. Every ewe that is about to give birth has to be taken care of, and every newborn lamb is money.
If you don’t come to Qinggutun to work, you will lose two lambs if you don’t pick up a few lambs. Lambs are not valuable, and wages are money. But who has not been exposed to the news after coming to Qinggutun? A lamb on the grassland costs only one or two silver. , although the price in the territory is a little lower, it is still six to seven hundred yuan.
This does not force them to go home, thus slowing down the overall project.
In this regard, what can Xia Heng say?
"Now the development has far exceeded expectations. Qinggutun is not in a hurry, as long as the merchants come back and open up!"
After making money in the household market, the next batch of goods will soon appear on the grassland again, and that time is almost the best time for the grassland and the most relaxed day for the herdsmen.
On the other hand, merchants who discover futures business opportunities will inevitably bring a large amount of gold and silver as chips for the game.
During the Wu Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, the distribution of wealth was extremely uneven.
The Wu Dynasty was limited by bulk commodities such as grain and cloth. Every year, it needed to import a large amount of daily necessities from Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Sili and other places. In addition to salt, wood, mutton and other raw materials, the people of the Song Dynasty saw other things. If not, the Ming Dynasty would look down upon it. If the Song Dynasty hadn't taken the initiative to send coins every year, the Wu Dynasty would have collapsed long ago.
The situation in the Later Tang Dynasty was even worse, but the Later Tang Dynasty had a mine at home, and the gold mines in Sichuan and Sichuan were famous all over the world. Li Tang could resist the Song people's blood sucking by digging casually.
People in the Ming Dynasty were also sucked in, but what people in the Song Dynasty could suck away was only a drop in the bucket of the overseas market.
In the Liao Kingdom, taxes are deducted, and people spend less money. People of four colors are classified into three grades. Third-class and below are not considered human beings at all in the eyes of the rulers of the Liao Kingdom. Let alone disaster relief and economic development, local governments still file taxes at the county level. There are no yamen, no burdens, as long as they don't fight, the real Liao people can live a nourishing life.
The Chu State, with Jiaozhi as its back, was rich in mineral resources, and the labor costs were passed on to the Nanman, so how could it not be rich?
Everyone in the Wu Dynasty had no wealth, and everyone who had money could not spend it.
In addition, due to the business trend set off by the Song Dynasty, people are not allowed to look for opportunities for their own funds?
The futures game was big money for the Wu Dynasty, but it was just small money for the big commercial banks in various countries.
…
"You have something to say, why are you following me?"
After pushing the door open and leaving, Fang Fang turned to look at Huang An who followed him all the way after the meeting, Yu Xianke said angrily.
"There is indeed something going on, let's go in first and talk about it later!"
"Go inside first!"
Huang An appeared at the corner like a thief, and followed Yu Xianke in from another courtyard door. When they saw each other clearly, the two quickened their pace again, and walked into the study first from Fang Fang's left.
"Is it necessary?" Fang Fang was speechless.
Huang An gave him a look at the meeting. Fang Fang knew that Huang An was in trouble. Yu Xianke, who was following him, noticed it but not Huang An. At that time, he was still curious about Huang An's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, both of them were Hanging behind himself.
"Of course it's necessary!"
Huang An stood at the window, staring at the situation in the yard, and looked sideways at Yu Xianke, who was also a thief, "If I guess correctly, what happened to Yu Xianke should be the same!"
"How about you come here one by one?" Fang Fang spread his hands. He couldn't figure out what the two of them were looking for.
"No, Huang An and I have to say that it's just not easy to tell the outside world, but at our level, the matter is actually open to the public!"
"smuggling?"
You Xianke nodded, "I served in the army in Qingzhou for six years in my early years. A few days ago, Qingzhou Shengdial Trading Company went north and brought me a letter. They hope to invest in the trading platform, Shengdial, Shengjia, Shenghe, Sheng Chang, Shengyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou areas are also called the Five Sheng Alliance, but behind them are actually a group of people, all powerful people from Qingzhou. Different from Jizhou, Bingzhou is scattered, Qingzhou powerful people are very united, of course they can't do it without unity. !”
People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and their power is divided into camps.
The entire territory of Qingzhou was conquered by the Wu Dynasty in the early years. The powerful clans in Qingzhou were inherently deficient in the political environment of the Wu Dynasty. Coupled with the wealth of Qingzhou, the Wu Dynasty was forced to suck blood even if it did not want to. .
"Qingzhou Wusheng controls various trade routes in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and actively promotes shipping. The Laijiao Canal, which has been the most popular in recent years, is promoted by these people." Huang An added.
Smuggling only requires capital, and the Wu Dynasty's external smuggling has long been on the table. Qingzhou, southern Jizhou, and southern Bingzhou, which have innate geographical advantages, have large and small smuggling groups.
"How much do they want?"
"Two thousand shares!" Yu Xianke held out two fingers.
Fang Fang didn't answer, but turned to look at Huang An, "Isn't the person looking for you also from Qingzhou?"
Huang An shook his head, "Of course not. My Huang family and Qingzhou don't deal with each other, and I have never been to Qingzhou. Why do the people from Qingzhou come back to find me? They came to me from Sanyuan Trading Company. They wanted a thousand shares and offered to be the platform." If the delivery is unfavorable, they are willing to replenish the goods for us at 70% of the contract price!”
"Sanheng is a trading house established by several powerful men in Bingzhou and Taiyuan County. The trade routes radiate to the Liao, Song and Later Tang Dynasties. They also control a large number of pastures in the North. More importantly, those few families firmly stood firm five years ago. On our side!" Yusenk laughed.
