Kyoto, Shangliang, Guanfu.
Guanli Zhong looked at Duan Jiabaoli in front of him with a look of surprise on his face.
He raised his head and looked at Bo Youcai in front of him: "Bo Lao, is this thing really so magical?"
"Master, can I lie to you about this kind of thing?" Bo Youcai said with a stern look on his face, "This thing was invented by Duan Wenjun from Duanjiabao. The Third Young Master has already found someone to test it, and it is better than ordinary plows." I don’t know how many times.”
"Why did this treacherous son get involved with Duan Wenjun?" Guanli Zhong became furious when he heard this.
In his letter, he made it clear that Guanxing should keep a distance from Duan Wenjun.
That adult came to look for him personally.
However, he didn't know that his lord had already sent a letter to Guan Xing.
However, the gentleman's letter was delivered to Duan Wenjun by Guan Xing that day...
"Master, I can't blame the Third Young Master for this matter!" Bo Youcai hurriedly continued, "The Third Young Master is doing this for the sake of our Guan family!"
"Bo Lao, you just followed him to Wangjiang for a few months, why are you protecting him like this!" Guanli Zhong was still confused.
"Master, you don't know something." Bo Youcai's tone suddenly became solemn, "It's not that the third young master wants to have any relationship with Duan Wenjun, but that for the benefit of the Guan family, the third young master has to get along well with Duan Wenjun. relation!"
"How do you say this?" Guanli Zhong was stunned.
"In the past few months, Wenjun has been tinkering with a lot of good things." Bo Youcai looked at him, and then continued, "A few days ago, the Third Young Master sent someone to bring back Shaodaozi wine and those Soaps are all new things created by Duan Wenjun."
"Could it be that all the things rumored in the market are true?" Guanli Zhong was shocked when he heard this. "This Wenjun is really a man of heaven. In his dream, an old god taught him various skills?"
"Master, the Third Young Master and I have also discussed this matter." Bo Youcai looked at him and then stopped.
"Go on!" Guanli Zhong frowned.
"We feel that we have to believe it, and we can't believe it completely." Bo Youcai said, "We don't believe that there are no heavenly beings. How could someone be able to teach you skills in a dream?"
"So, do you think this is just someone deliberately flattering Duan Wenjun?" Guanli Zhong thought thoughtfully.
"Not necessarily. It can't be regarded as flattery, but Duan Wenjun said so himself." Bo Youcai shook his head, "Although I can't believe it, Duan Wenjun's ability is real."
"He speaks a little weirdly, and he always comes up with some words that we don't understand. This shows that he must be an extremely thoughtful person, and even an extremely well-educated person."
"Moreover, the fact that he can come up with so many new things shows that he must be very capable."
"The master may not know that the soaps he made are now sold not only in Wangjiang. He united many merchants in Wangjiang and began to sell the soaps to other counties. Now people in several states are Use this soap.”
"Don't underestimate this little soap, which only sells for more than ten yuan a piece in Wangjiang. When it goes to other states and counties, the price will rise two or three times, and even ten times in some places."
"This time, Duan Wenjun invented this Jiabao plow, and the third son, in the name of the county magistrate, was the first to find him. While Wangjiang was popularizing it, he asked me to send some back to the house as soon as possible."
Having said this, Bo Youcai stopped.
He said no more, but quietly waited for Guanli Zhong's reaction.
As the head of the Guan family, Guanli Zhong can occupy a seat in the court, and can also make the Guan family's business spread all over the country. Naturally, it will not be easy.
At this moment, from Bo Youcai's words, he has captured a huge business opportunity.
Even if this Jiabao plow spreads from Wangjiang County to surrounding areas, the spread will not be very fast.
If you were the first to introduce this Jiabao plow to other places, you could even monopolize it.
The profits from this are immeasurable.
Soap is a small business worth only a dozen cents.
But this family plow is an essential tool for farmers.
A Duanjiabao plow can earn at least several hundred cash.
If it can be promoted throughout Dashun, this will be equivalent to a mountain of gold and silver.
The only problem he was worried about was that the cost of building this section of the Jiabao plow might be a bit expensive.
He initially estimated that a plow would cost at least more than one hundred ren.
If the cost of transportation and sales are included, as well as the Guan family's profit, he estimates that he will need to sell it for at least 500 coins.
Five hundred wen, that's half a tael of silver.
Guanli Zhong was a little worried about whether those poor farmers could afford to buy this plow, and whether they were willing to pay for it.
Seeing his frown, Bo Youcai frowned slightly and said, "Master, what's wrong?"
Guanli Zhong knew that Bo Youcai had always been highly valued by the old man because of his resourcefulness.
Now that he thinks Guanxing's idea is feasible, he might have an idea.
So, he didn't hold anything back and directly expressed his worries.
Unexpectedly, Bo Youcai smiled when he heard the words, "Sir, the Third Young Master has already thought of this. Even if the farmers can't afford it or are unwilling to buy it, he can rent it from the government!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Guanli Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this.
He already understood what Bo Youcai meant.
This method may be easier to control than selling plows directly.
If this piece of Jiabao plow is as easy to use as Bo Youcai said, he can use the name of the court to ask local governments to buy it from them.
Since the government is buying from them, there is no need to worry about not getting the money back.
Moreover, the price can still be raised.
Of course, it not only needs to be turned into a monopoly business, but also a cooperative business.
Cooperative business naturally involves cooperation with local governments.
This section of Jiabao plow is not only sold to them, but also has to sign a contract with them.
That is, it cannot be copied or sold at will.
It doesn’t matter if farmers can’t afford it or are unwilling to buy it.
Because there was no need for them to buy Guanli Zhong.
They just need to rent it from the government.
It takes one day, a dozen articles, or dozens of articles.
For them, this is no different than buying a piece of soap, and they probably won't resist it.
When the government leases plows to farmers, how to divide the rental fees incurred can be discussed later...
This will undoubtedly create a steady stream of income for the Guan family.
Thinking of this, Guanli Zhong already had an idea in his mind.
He took Bo Youcai into the study, and then asked people to call his two sons, Guanping and Guanfeng, over.
While waiting for Guan Ping and Guan Feng, he looked at Bo Youcai and said, "Bo Lao, Xing'er is looking at the river, are you okay?"
"Even if it's good, it's not good either!" Bo Youcai sighed slightly, "Li Youfa has completely messed up Wangjiang. The third young master has been quite busy recently..."
