Chapter Fifty-Six: Giving Fishing and Profiting (Part II)

Looks good on the line, and I am shocked and convinced.

Doing things by yourself, one person's wisdom is not as good as the art industry after all.

He thought hard for a long time about how these cattle and horses could get back, but the city was able to make these details almost perfect.

Seeing Shi Zai's surprise, Shi Jia Dolphin laughed at himself: "Shi, do you think it's easy to be a businessman now?" From the feudal state of Qizi to the southern frontier of Chu, there are any goods to keep in mind. Where is the village community fierce and wild, you have to know, don't you know that the people in the village community even dared to kill and eat Qin Mugong's horse back then? ”

At this time, the village community was different from the village community in later generations, and it continued until the Qin and Han dynasties, and the degree of autonomy of the village community was very high, and there were many evil boys and bold people.

Don't say that you eat a horse, even the Marquis of Jin who went out of the city to have fun dared to chop it just to rob a fortune.

Being a businessman is extremely risky, and the city is fine, but some villagers in the countryside are not so honest. On weekdays, all the people are soldiers, who hasn't seen murder?

Taishi Gong once concluded that as long as it is profitable, young people in the countryside can do the following things: killing people and burying corpses, blocking roads and robbing, stealing graves, minting coins privately, embezzling and occupying, chasing and plundering, not evading the law, and making fakes......

At this time, the autonomy of the countryside far from the city was not an idyll, the atmosphere in the countryside was fierce, the grassroots control was weak, and the place far from the city was completely chaotic and disorderly.

Shijia Dolphin was born in Taoyi, which was originally a place where merchants gathered, and it was also the place where Tao Zhugong made his fortune, and the merchant atmosphere was extremely prosperous, and he knew a lot of business methods, and he also knew the risks.

In addition to the risks, there are also customs and habits everywhere.

Tai Shi Gong once said in "The Biography of Goods and Colonies": There are no big merchants in the land of Chuyue, because there is no winter in the land of Chuyue, and the atmosphere there does not know how to accumulate. There are fish and shrimp everywhere, there are fruits on the trees, and you can eat enough by slashing and burning and picking fruits, so it is difficult to develop without changing the atmosphere - replacing Chu Yue at this time with the black Africa that he knows is not against harmony at all.

Taoyi and other places north of Surabaya often suffer from floods and droughts, but the land is fertile and the population is large, and the four seasons are distinct, so people know how to accumulate and can also accumulate, and there is also a habit of doing business and getting rich.

According to Tai Shi Gong's summary, Wu Yue had no rich merchants; Qin and Jin are good in agriculture; Zhao people are more speculative; Zhongshan is good at gambling and robbing graves; Qi people have a strong sense of local and are reluctant to leave their hometowns; Lu Di usually seems to have the style of Zhongni and pays the most attention to etiquette, but when it is profitable, he is more ruthless than everywhere; There are a lot of gentlemen near Shangqiu, who are generous and solemn, stunned, and rarely deceive people.

Time has passed, and many places are not the same as those of later generations, but they are always similar to the current atmosphere.

It was not easy to go to the north to transfer cattle and horses, and it was not easy to come back.

It's not easy, but I still have to do it, so I asked, "Now that it's settled, are you going to start doing it?" ”

"There are two things to wait for. First, the purpose of this gathering of the ink scholars is a big thing, and it can only be done after this thing is completed. There is no distinction between the important and the severe. Second, it seems to me that Emperor Sicheng has made up his mind, and the matter of Peidi is a foregone conclusion, but he must get the bamboo deed before making a decision, otherwise I can go to Luoyang, Linzi and other places by myself to accumulate money and do righteousness. ”

Shi Jia Dolphin nodded to himself, and said: "In this way, I will go to Mr. first, and tell Mr. how to decide." Go with me and fetch five yi-yi-gold, buy some wheat, and hire the people of the village community to grind the wheat flour first. ”

The two of them had a better plan, so they returned to the thatched hut of the ink artist with the city dolphin and waited for a while.

Shijia Dolphin went to see Mozi, returned after a short time, took out five Yi gold, and wrote it down on a piece of bamboo slips, and said with a smile: "This is not what you, the secretary, want me to do." ”

Shi Ye smiled: "Few people recognize the words I write now, and it is not good to write more and write less only by relying on the faith in my heart." ”

Shi Jia Dolphin handed over the gold and said, "Mr. agreed, and I will do it in ten days." Sir also asked me to tell you that there is one more article for me to discuss with Sicheng Huang. The people of that village community all moved to Peidi with us, and they were all people who gave land. Those children who have learned nine math with you will stay in Shangqiu and help those tofu and wheat flour shops in Shangqiu first. ”

"The people who grant the land move with the soil. It's a small thing, and everyone is used to it, so you don't have to care. Emperor Sicheng has a request to wait with us, and everyone in the Mo family doesn't have to abide by too many unreasonable rules, no one dares to say it. If you are not an ink master, it will be enough for you to receive a whip for private use. ”

Shi nodded in agreement, thinking that this method was excellent, and his own thinking was also a little fixed, but he didn't think of this.

The people in the village community can be relocated to other places, and the people in the village community will often move the residents of the city when they conquer the city, and this kind of coercive behavior abounds, but he is a little unexpected.

Later, after the rise of the Three Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the edge of Han and Wei, the Song State once held a great migration, almost abandoned Shangqiu City, and moved the nearby people to Pengcheng, and now this village community is one step ahead.

Now that the matter has been decided, he will go to the milling powder and discussing the migration with the people in the village.

…………

In Shangqiu City, the story of wheat flour and tofu has spread throughout the city, and those merchants with a keen sense of smell have gathered.

Shangqiu is not a Taoyi, but it is also a big city, and it has gathered a lot of merchants.

At this time, the status of the big merchants was very high, and all the nobles had to be wooed.

Not to mention the fact that businessmen like Lu Buwei in later generations acted as ministers, that is, Zhou Tianzi was also forced by businessmen to ask for debts and build debts to hide on them, which was far from the time when businessmen were suppressed by the imperial power and could not raise their heads.

These merchants seek profit, and they smell profit as much as flies smell carrion.

The day after the Ink Masters had eaten, the door of the muntjac was almost broken down by the merchants, and they all wanted to come and see these things.

The muntjac is a craftsman, and although he is not afraid of life, he has never seen such a scene.

Fortunately, the city of Jia Dolphin and Shi sat in it, with a can of snow-like wheat flour in front of him.

Shi's sister-in-law secretly pinched Shi Shi and said, "You, you ink masters, you eat yellow and black wheat flour, how can you sell it to merchants but it is so white?" Jokes! ”

Shi sneered and whispered, "This can't be eaten." Talcum powder is added to it, and it is white, and it is not good to eat. It's for people to see, not for people to eat. ”

The sister-in-law gave him a blank look, and there were so many eyes in his heart, he hadn't seen it before.

Several businessmen from Luoyang squeezed in, looked at the jar of snow-white wheat flour, and praised it repeatedly. When he saw that the city Jia Dolphin was also beside him, he secretly said in his heart: "I want to make money from this person, but it is difficult." ”

Luoyang Dayi, there are many rich and nobles, and this wheat flour is sold there for profit. Although it is not easy to transship, it will be abundant in the past.

Shi Jia Dolphin looked at these merchants, thought of the things he had just talked to him, and said in his heart that there are not many foreign merchants here, but if that method is available, it can be directly used in other cities.

When the merchants saw this kind of wheat flour, they were already moved and hurriedly asked whether they would sell it.

Shijia Dolphin shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The businessman said in his heart, if you sell it, you sell it, and if you don't sell it, you don't sell it, and this is not your Mohist argument, how can there be anything to know?

But I don't know that what the city Jia Dolphin said is the truth, and before the matter of Peidi is determined, whether it is to sell fish or sell fish is indeed unknown.

Shi said to the side: "Don't say whether it is sold or not." This food must be delicious, and it is not a pearl as long as the color is good-looking. Since you are here today, please taste it the day after tomorrow. Come back the day after tomorrow, and please go and tell those foreign businessmen to come together. ”

When the merchant heard this, he understood that he still had to sell after all, otherwise why should he invite the rest of the merchants.

They thought that what they said was indeed right, this wheat flour was eaten, and whether it was delicious or not had to be eaten to know later, so they dispersed first, thinking about the taste the day after tomorrow.

After several waves of people, the merchants of Shangqiu City, who are not big, knew the news and inquired one after another, wanting to make a profit.

To prepare the tasting of these people, one person is too busy, but fortunately, it is organized and there are many people to do things, so I invited some ink people to help.

Precisely:

Ding Ding Ding, do righteousness into the kitchen. There is no millet and millet, only snow powder and white.

The east of the city buys clay pots, the west of the city buys grease, and Mo Zhai personally handles the axe and sharpens and repairs the rolling pin.

The face is hot and sour, and the plant ash is added. Acid and alkali are disgusted, and the stomata save time.

The surface of the chopsticks is like a flower, and the red dates are stamens. Rough hand kneading single peak, only a little red.

The rolling dough is as big as a fight, and the cold sword is horizontal and cut. It is as wide as a belt around the waist and as long as a lady's silk.

Support my big pottery mustache, condensing fat and melting soup. At this time, there is no Qin juniper, so it is named after fritters.

Flour lamb and pork meat, hand turn the dough to be round. Put your hands together lightly, and put them into the soup like a floating goose.

There is no pot helmet in Qinchuan, and there is no cooking cake in Yuncheng. Sanjin doesn't drink noodles, let alone the taste will be sour.

Mix the sauce with vinegar, grind the beans and cook the pulp. Brought to offer merchants, businessmen were all busy: eating wheat for 20 years, I don't know so many patterns.
