As an important border city, Zijin Pass is noisy during the day, but as soon as dusk falls, the curfew that should be extended is still on time.
Moving into the Xia Family Villa, it is said to be a separate courtyard, but it is actually just a second-entry courtyard.
Although the scale is small, this is already considered a top-notch industry in Zijin Pass.
The building specifications in Tai'an City need to be based on the imperial city. House expansion and building heightening must not affect the feng shui of the whole city. There are many opinions on this.
The same goes for Zijin Pass. It would be a good place to provide people with services and wars and a place to do business. What else do you want about a big garden?
After hastily finishing up the food ordered from Yanjing Tower, there were three long and two short knocks on the door.
When the voice fell, everyone who was originally extremely relaxed had their faces condensed one after another. Those who dared to retreat retreated, and those who should leave left. Only Xiaohu walked out of the living room in an orderly manner. After a while, he returned to the house with three volumes in his hands.
"Bring it here!"
This is how the Documents Department works. It is mysterious and ghostly. Whether the person wants to meet you or not, whether you need to meet the person or not, all must abide by the other party's rules. Since no one has come in, let's read the file first.
"It seems that things are very urgent now. How long do we have to stop and burn incense?" Xia Heng took his hands away from his waist, and his stern expression suddenly softened.
"Things are rushing and people are joining forces. I'm afraid Nian Run will not be having a good time during this period. Let's take a look!"
The ending has always been the most troublesome. If you do it well, you should do it. If you do it poorly, it is a problem. After finally winning, the annual profit cannot be measured in every way. Should you benefit yourself first, benefit the Wu Dynasty, or should you benefit the Wu Dynasty first? It is for the benefit of his subordinates, both are for the benefit, and there must be many places where the starting points are different and conflicting.
With that said, he opened a volume of files and started reading quickly.
Compared with Tang Bao, there are more recorded contents in the file. Everything is written in dense small characters without losing clarity and coordination. The content that needs to be informed is stated clearly. During this period, the Ming Dynasty business group came ashore. Later, the situation of selling goods to the outside world was highlighted, including the Ming Dynasty Xuanwu gunboats, internal specifications, manpower, weapon configuration, etc. of merchant ships.
The alliance only allows the two countries to join forces, but it does not mean that there is no defense between them.
When you set foot in Yuyang, people will not come to eat or chat with you. They will definitely take the time to observe the situation in Yuyang, especially Zijin Pass, an important border city.
Likewise, the Document Department will not be idle. The craftsmanship of the shipbuilding may not be visible. They can evaluate the Xuanwu gunboat at close range, look for possible loopholes, and collect information on the crew members, waiting for future deployment.
"Wanyan Wenqi, after spending so much money to escape, is actually willing to sell the medicinal materials at 50% of my selling price, and has already paid millions in compensation!"
"My hands are holding resources outside the customs, and my mentality really doesn't feel bad!"
Xia Heng was completely envious.
The value of the medicinal materials themselves is there. No matter how the merchants lower the prices, they cannot change the value of the medicinal materials themselves. After all, people use them when they are sick, especially the three treasures of Changbai Mountain, which have a price but no market.
In addition, medicinal materials are also cyclical, especially when the leaders of the six Central Plains countries are all entering their old age. If they don't let go this time, it will not be the Jurchens begging others to buy them, but all the forces begging the Jurchens to sell them.
Jurchens only need to be patient and have nothing to worry about. Therefore, the best medicinal materials are the second only to gold and silver reserves in the Golden Kingdom.
"It's normal. The cycle of medicinal materials is too long and cannot be controlled. The long-term preservation requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and I also pay for it!"
Xiaohu shook his head, "However, the 50% discount is still at our price. This wave of bloodshed..."
Prices in Wu Dynasty were several percent lower than those in the Central Plains in all aspects, and the price of medicinal materials was only 70 to 80 percent lower. If we continue to apply this discount, the loss would be huge.
"What Wanyan Wenqi did? To put it bluntly, it was to quickly restore health. Why did Nianrun spend money during this period? Essentially, it was to appease? Although the Jin Kingdom lost this war, Wanyan Wenqi himself did not lose, nor did his men. ! Do you want to appease me for withdrawing from the war in such a disgraceful way? If you ascend the throne and become king, do you want to reward the meritorious officials?"
"How can he reward me if I don't have money?"
"It looks like people are bleeding, but in fact the blood is not Emperor Wanyan's. You don't think this batch of medicinal materials was collected by Wanyan Wenqi himself, right?"
The equation hit the nail on the head and directly penetrated Wanyan Wenqi's thoughts, "Using a free fortune not only stabilizes the internal situation, but also further consumes our country's meager financial resources. How about Wanyan Wenqi making money this time?"
"Yeah, he's not afraid of making money, but we won't accept it?" Xiaohu said in amazement.
The various forces close to Kyushu and the Wu Dynasty are not afraid of the Wu Dynasty's army, but they are afraid of the Wu Dynasty's financial laxity. If they have more money, the suppressed aggression factor in their bones will burst out. If they have less money, they will have to go to war in order to survive. The best thing is to control it. In a state of neither up nor down.
"Will not!"
Xia Heng shook his head, "People are calculated well. The flames of war have driven up the price of various medicinal materials. We can earn at least twice as much from this transaction. At most, the digestion cycle will be longer, but compared to the digestion time, we I prefer to bite things in my mouth first, because after all, not having anything to eat is the scariest thing.”
Whether it is for personal use or for sale to the outside world, Wu Dynasty can make a profit from this medicinal material.
"In the final analysis, our foundation is much stronger than that of the Jurchens!"
"Yes, the Jurchens are in a corner, and the docks were bombed. The only way out for them is us and Sanhan. Sanhan competes with them in medicinal materials, but we are different. Liao Kingdom, smuggling in various places, Hushi, Now that it’s linked to the Ming Dynasty, millions of medicinal materials seem to be a lot, and it would only take three or four years to digest them!”
"It's a pity that because our court is short of money all year round, we often like to squeeze out profits when doing things. If we can make twice as much money, all the officials in the court will never make only 1.5 times!"
My family knows their own situation, and the poor think that if they make less, they will lose.
"What's going on!" Xiaohu joked cooperatively, then turned to look, "Sir, don't you have any idea about this?"
"Even if I have an idea, who will listen to me? You all just said that if you make less money, you will lose money. Let's not get involved in this mess!"
How the Wu Dynasty squeezed the market before, now they will squeeze this batch of medicinal materials.
A futures trading market has not yet been settled, so Fang Fang has no time to deal with such a thankless task.
"Now that you've finished reading, let's exchange!"
Fang Fang threw out the scroll in his hand and reached out towards Xiaohu.
"My volume is about the situation of alien races outside the country. It's so miserable. Their homes have been destroyed and their population has withered. In the coming winter, people like Li will turn into hungry wolves!"
Xiaohu got the information about the Jurchens from Xia Heng, and then handed the overseas tribal information recorded in his hand to Fang Fang.
"Hungry wolf, weak, just crazy for a while. Manman Bingxue will teach them how to behave. Ice and snow can't teach them. Isn't there a Zijin Pass?"
Xia Heng has a heartfelt hatred for all foreign races and does not care about the life and death of that group of people. This is not exactly the same as the majority of warriors, but can only be said to be more ruthless and vicious.
