Chapter 367: Buying and Selling Seeds
The astonishing yield of sweet potatoes and other crops spread out, which can be said to be shocking to the world, and I don't know how many families pay attention to these crops.
However, due to the remoteness of Huiji County and the obstacles of the Yangtze River, it is very difficult to bring seeds out on a large scale without being discovered.
Nowadays, the river transportation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is completely in the hands of Zhang Yu, and there are many places in the middle reaches that are controlled by Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu's fleet often patrols back and forth, so it is very difficult to bring the seeds out.
It is true that a lot of seeds are taken out, but the quantity is scarce, and if you want to plant it on a large scale, you have to cultivate it for three or four years.
Moreover, they don't know the planting method yet, so the yield is naturally not as high as Zhang Yu.
For various reasons, Mi Zhu can only find Zhang Yu if he wants to plant on a large scale.
"Of course, you can sell seeds, and you need as much as you want, but this is a one-time sale, and the asking price is bound to be high." Zhang Yu said.
Mi Zhu was happy in his heart, their Mi family's biggest industry is the planting industry, if they can get a few crops, it is too important for the development of the Mi family.
High price? That's okay, it's a one-and-done thing, and you don't have to buy seeds to plant yourself in the future.
"Please make an offer." Mi Zhu said.
"Five million dollars, two boats of seeds, three seeds on average, and a free planting method." Zhang Yu said.
As soon as you open your mouth, it's a big sum of five million, which is really not cheap.
If it is two boats of grain, it is estimated that it will be more than 100,000 yuan, but Zhang Yu directly asked for 5 million.
The two ships that Zhang Yu said are, of course, their big ships, and this will naturally be explained after entering into detailed negotiations.
Mi Zhu thought for a while and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two boats of seeds, five million dollars." ”
Mi Zhu will also be able to settle accounts, two boats of seeds, the next year he can plant arbitrarily, or even the whole of Xuzhou, when the time comes a bumper harvest of grain, the cost can be recovered within two years.
If you rely on a few rattans you get, you don't know how long you want to cultivate, and Zhang Yu also gives you planting methods.
Zhang Yu is naturally willing to sell it, if he doesn't sell it, it will be everywhere in a few years, so it's better to take advantage of the value now, and then sell it for a big while.
Zhang Yu continued: "There will be no conditions attached to selling seeds, but since I have sold them, I will not be exclusive in the future, so I will find other sellers to sell them while they are worth now." ”
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Mi Zhu frowned, which was obviously not in his interests.
"Master Zhang, rashly selling a large amount of grain is not in your interests at all, and when the time comes, the grain price will be low, which is completely inconsistent with the interests of both you and me." Mi Zhu said.
From the perspective of a businessman, Mi Zhu's words were not wrong, but Zhang Yu did not think so.
"Brother Mi, your pattern is too small, although you produce a lot of grain, the price of this grain will not fall, but will continue to rise." Zhang Yu said.
Mi Zhu wanted to compete with Zhang Yu as soon as he heard it, although Zhang Yu's status was higher than him, he was younger than him, and he was not a businessman.
"Master Zhang, you must know that this sweet potato, potato and other crops can increase grain production by more than ten times, and when the time comes, one person can feed ten people, how can the price of grain rise." Mi Zhu told Zhang Yu a very simple truth.
Zhang Yu smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying: "Your understanding is not wrong under normal circumstances, but today's pattern has completely changed, and it can't be just from a business point of view. ”
Zhang Yu looked puzzled when he saw Mi Zhu, so he continued: "In today's world, although the Han family is still there, but the princes are in charge, the world will be in chaos, and when the princes attack each other, this will require a lot of food, and the war will lead to the displacement of the people, and they have no intention of planting food, which will also make food scarce." ”
"Zhang Yu finished talking about the basic big picture, and then said, now there are millions of nomads in northern Xinjiang, they also need food, if there is really so much food, it can be sold to them, no matter how much grain there is in the Central Plains, there is no fear of nowhere to go."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Mi Zhu broke out in a cold sweat.
It's not that Mi Zhu doesn't understand politics, it's just that he doesn't think so deeply, and the overall situation today is not something he can fully see.
However, Mi Zhu is a smart person, otherwise he would not have decisively hugged Liu Bei's thigh after a few years.
Mi Zhu knew from the news penetrated by Zhang Yu that it turned out that Liaodong also had a lot of trade with the grassland.
It's just that Xuzhou is not close to the grassland, otherwise no matter how much grain is produced, it will not be able to sell at a price.
Mi Zhu was determined.
"This chapter feather pattern is large, and from his tone, it will definitely be the princes competing for hegemony in the future, and he is one of the princes, and he also has the intention of winning the Central Plains. It seems necessary to befriend him. Mi Zhu thought.
"It's just that Zhang Yu is lustful, and now he has a crush on his little sister?" Mi Zhu thought of Zhang Yu's expression when he looked at Mi Zhen, and he always felt strange in his heart.
If there is a need, Mi Zhu doesn't mind marrying Mi Zhen to him, but there are many women around Zhang Yu, and the effect of the marriage is much worse.
Mi Zhu can marry Mi Zhen to Liu Bei's old bacon, and it will obviously be better to marry Zhang Yu, a little fresh meat.
However, Mi Zhu didn't make any decisions, and it was too far away to think about these at this time.
The next thing to talk about is much simpler, Mi Zhu wanted to introduce tea planting and manufacturing, but Zhang Yu vetoed it.
Tea, Huiji County is constantly expanding its scale, and it is fully capable of monopolizing, and Zhang Yu will definitely not sell the technology of tea.
However, it is possible to hand over the tea leaves to Mi Zhu to sell.
The roasted tea technique is not something that can be stolen if you want to, so Zhang Yu will never sell this technique.
Even if the technology is stolen in the future, it is not so easy to cultivate a large number of tea trees, so in order to monopolize it for a long time, Zhang Yu will definitely not sell roasted tea technology.
Then, the two sides talked about the sale of other products, and Zhang Yu gave most of the goods to the Mi family to sell, of course, only dedicated to Xuzhou and some surrounding areas.
After the deal, the guests and hosts are happy.
Zhang Yu didn't stay here, after all, with his identity, he had to take care of safety when he stayed here.
That night, Zhang Yu and the others returned to the ship, and the fleet headed south overnight.
In the cabin, Zhang Yu and Zhang Ning snuggled up to each other, and on this boat, there were just the two of them in the cabin.
"Husband, you are so embarrassed today, staring at other people's yellow flower girls, saliva is about to flow." Zhang Ning said complainingly.
Zhang Yu couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't explain it.
Zhang Ning suddenly said again: "Husband, since you like people, find an opportunity to propose." ”
Zhang Yu was stunned, this era is good, and his wife will encourage him to find a little wife.
"Look at that Liu Bei is just unhappy, it's not bad to snatch his wife over." Zhang Yu thought to himself.
"Husband, our sisters are all gone, we are really ashamed of the ancestors of the Zhang family, why don't you marry the Miss Mi family." Zhang Ning suddenly said again.
