Chapter 91 Food
Fertilizer would never be sold on the shelves in the first place. The current production method of this thing relies on pure natural raw materials. Don’t look at more than 2000 people, plus a few hundred cows and horses. This is enough land for now. But the land to be planted in the coming year will double up!You have to plan carefully for your own use, how can you still sell it? !
However, the crops in the millet fields are too conspicuous. The seedlings transplanted in spring have grown into patches of green and strong seedlings. In the field of the control group, although they all bear full ears, they look like clumps. There are all kinds of strange things, some are tall and strong like small trees, some are crawling like rush grass, and some are lying on the ground like vines!
Although the wheat field looks strange, it is always green. In the corn field, even the color is strange. The ears are white, red, yellow, black, orange, purple, colorful and dazzling. Standing tall in the sky, it is not difficult to imagine what a spectacular and beautiful autumn harvest scene will be here in autumn.
In the field of the experimental group, the appearance of the wheat and corn is much normal, but the heads and tassels are even more terrifying than those of the control group. The yield of one mu of land may be two or three times that of others!
Food is the most important thing for the people, especially in the Northwest, where food prices are high and food is scarce, and there are droughts every three years or two, even if the food is transported thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River, it can make a little profit, and even more so. What's more, you can harvest two or three times the grain in this field?
A group of peddlers came to Pinglu, originally for the sake of the Zheng Clan, to engage in this unprofitable refined iron business, who would have expected to see this kind of fairy magic in a wild place like Diqiu General scene?Which god has such magical powers, so bored to come to the world to farm and play?
As for Daoyi's cheating gods, Li Shenxian naturally has to keep a tight grip on it, and he can't say it outside if he is killed. Only the waterwheel can see people with integrity, and the fat farm in charge of Liao Laoliu, the waterwheel was off for three days at once There are people looking up at both ends, and there is an endless stream of people visiting the manure field. Every day, there are well-dressed businessmen who hold their breath and want to come to study this miraculous "golden kela"—because the name of manure is too local. , Master Li adopted the name of a magical fertilizer additive in China in the modern history of the earth.
What kind of person is Liao Laoliu?With a dark heart and a strong gambler, he has made a bet. How can Mingzhu ruin his ambition for such a small profit? No matter how ugly the name of "Fat Envoy" is, it is also a golden road to embark on an official career and follow the gods!
Regarding the temptation of these out-of-town merchants to scout, solicit, and buy, the sixth child is strictly guarding against it, and he is steadfast, so he almost didn't put a cover on the fertilizer farm.
Liao Feishi suffered from being harassed, Master Li quickly adopted a countermeasure, that is, let the sixth man ferment the fermented fertilizers to maturity, the proportion is appropriate, and the semi-dry fertilizers to be stored are packed in sacks and piled up in the "supply and marketing cooperative" The back warehouse is for the merchants to purchase.
There are not many products, just enough for trial use. After all, Diqiu’s large open space is still waiting to be fertilized. If it weren’t for being so annoyed by these merchants, and expecting them to communicate with each other in the future, and sell Diqiu’s goods to the north and south, Mr. Li I can't bear to give this!
This sample product is naturally not enough for many small and medium-sized merchants to share, and the wealthy merchants who have an old relationship with the Zheng clan don't bother to compete with the small merchants for this little thing. What they want is the prescription.
You must know that although most of the business routes in the northwest are in the hands of the Zheng Clan, out of the northwest, the rich merchants in Jinzhong and Jiangnan each have their own business routes, and they are all related to each other. , these wealthy businessmen cannot be offended.
Can Fang Zi give it?
Master Li consulted the expert group.
[It’s just soil manure, it’s easy to learn, you’ll be able to read it a few times, and there’s no secret to hide, it’s good to sell it at a high price. ]
[Sigh, it's a pity that synthetic ammonia requires too much industrial level and technical personnel, otherwise there is no need to use it so narrowly. ]
[It seems that the struvite off the coast of Huaxia has not been mined these days, which is also a good thing, but it is a bit far away. ]
……
[The general opinion of the superiors is that it is not easy to keep this stuff secret, and it is better to kill it, so as not to freeze the relationship between each other, and take the opportunity to ask these big merchants to ship more of the goods they need. 】
The opinions of the expert group are similar to those of Mr. Li and the hero. At present, Mr. Li has contacted several wealthy merchants who have a good relationship with the Zheng family and control important business channels. His skinny purse that can't make ends meet.
As for things like struvite, although it sounds wonderful, it is too far away for home use, and no one is willing to pay a high price for a chart position without proof, so they can only give up.
Taking this opportunity of being a seller, Mr. Li formed a good relationship with several wealthy merchants, and he also got a preliminary understanding of the business connections in the Northwest, and he was no longer blind.
These days, it can be said that there are rich merchants talking and laughing, and there are endless ghosts, and there are big deals worth thousands of dollars at the fingertips. A lot of money is waiting to be earned, and being a genius is the right way. If you don’t see the son, you have to greet him with a smile, be polite?
Only that male vixen would like to do those kind of love affairs, vying for pets and bitterness.Speaking of which, Zhonghu has spent the whole day mopping up horse bandits outside recently, and dragged back countless gold and silver. The young master smiled when he saw him. It turned out that he had already figured out his temper, how cunning!
I can't compete for favor, if this method of making money is not as good as that rough guy...Yan Qing suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and vowed to catch up and help his son-in-law go back with a full scale of gold and silver, so as not to let that Zhong Fox is more beautiful than before!
With the help of uncles, Mr. Li sold the recipes and ratios of manure accumulation to several houses at a quite satisfactory price, and he quit with satisfaction. The "Jinkela" in the supply and marketing cooperative also put up a sold out wooden sign , making a group of small and medium-sized merchants quite unwilling, but there is nothing they can do about it. Compared with wrists and waists, they are no match for luxury merchants, let alone Mr. Li's thick legs.
There were also a few smart people who stayed behind, chatting with each other, waiting to discuss with Master Li.
Without it, waterwheels and food.
The waterwheel is placed on the bright side, and the effect and style can be seen clearly by everyone, but the mechanism inside is not easy to understand with just a few glances.Although the merchants were interested in such things, when they asked the price, most of them were amazed, and there was no more to say.
The remaining few are different. They are all representatives of family-style wealthy merchants, and their families often have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land. If this kind of water wheel can be installed, although the cost will be high for a while, the income will increase even more. , I am very interested in buying the recipe for this waterwheel.
Mr. Li, who has special steel skills in his hands, has mastered the production skills of the main components. Although he values the recipe of this big wooden wheel waterwheel, he will not stick to it. After all, those big wheels are placed in the open air. Those who know how to do it carefully look at it a few times, and they can imitate it in threes and fours.
The profiteers only customized built-in stainless steel enclosures of appropriate size for the buyer's customers, and forced several companies to buy a copy of the waterwheel blueprint separately. This profit was quite considerable because it was a one-off sale.
Along with the manure prescription and the water wheel prescription, more than 700 gold was put into his pocket, and Mrs. Li's shriveled purse was finally filled with satisfaction.
The merchants were sent away, but a merchant surnamed Qi stayed behind.
Qi Hai is the youngest son of the Qi family, a wealthy businessman in Jinzhong, and he is about [-] years old, but the Qi family pays attention to "the main line is passed on, and the eldest son succeeds". Although the current head of the family is his father, the eldest brother Qi Peng is the established heir , his father is old and frail, and the power in the clan has gradually fallen into the hands of his elder brother.
Whether the father is the head of the family or the elder brother is the head of the family, it is very different for him, the youngest son who has been favored by his father since childhood. Now his situation in the clan is getting more and more difficult, so he was sent to the northwest this time. A fine iron business that can be handled by a small manager.
When Qi Hai came here, he was depressed, but when he arrived here, it was as if he had discovered a new world, all kinds of wonderful things were overwhelming, the fertilizer, the water wheel and so on were indeed good things, and he also bought them on behalf of the Qi family, but they were sent to the family. It is really conceivable how much connection he will have with him in the future.
But the food is different.
Looking at Diqiu's vast but blank fertile land, Qi Hai could imagine what it would look like in a few years. If there hadn't been a war, there would be crops all over the place, filling the south of the Yangtze River!
There was a discussion between the Qi family and the frontier pass in the north of Saibei to transport grain.
As the saying goes: "Wood is not sold for a hundred miles, and millet is not sold for a thousand miles", all because of the extremely high freight costs.
A stone of corn is transported from Jiangnan or Jinzhong to the northern part of Saibei. It is a long distance. People eat horses and chew. The road is not smooth and there are many bandits. More people must be guarded. The shipment is fine, and the merchant is capable.
Although the price of grain in Saibei is high, who can do it if you want the grain merchants to make a fuss for a small profit?
However, the frontier fortress is where the imperial court relies on the guards. Man Hu and Chen Guo stare covetously outside the frontier fortress. If the soldiers are not allowed to eat their stomachs, how can anyone be willing to sacrifice their lives?In the previous dynasties, the official transport of grain was more wasteful. Yan Taizu was wise and used "salt lure" to lure merchants to transport grain to the border.
You must know that salt is an indispensable thing for all people, and it is also a great treasure of the country.
Since the wars in the last dynasty of the previous dynasty, various factions have been fighting endlessly, and they all held salt in their hands. In this dynasty, "everyone is not allowed to cook salt privately. The offender will be sentenced to four years in prison, and the chief official will be sentenced to two years in prison."
This "salt introduction" is the share of buying salt in exchange for transporting grain. For this extremely profitable "salt", merchants have to pinch their noses to transport grain out of the rich land where grain is produced, and go to the border to supply soldiers them.
It's just because the frontier is closed to the north, and there is little food in the bitter cold, so we can't raise money by ourselves.
But if there is a grain production area in the northwest, the route for transporting grain can be shortened by [-]%, and the benefits... Qi Hai's scalp tingles when he thinks about it.
