Chapter 180: Down Jacket Business Winter is coming
"Your Majesty, according to our original plan, we will start to purchase chickens and ducks from now on, and purchase them at a price higher than the normal market price! Then it is salted in snow to make jerky, which can be sold to the south for money, or to the northern barbarians for money!
It can also be ground into flour, mixed with other foods to make coarse grains, and then sold to the people in the north!
Of course, Your Majesty can also get a batch of people who are lonely and widowed, and have no money or food at home! This is simply the government taking care of the people, not making money! ”
Li Er waved his hand, "You have the final say on business matters, just follow your methods on the battlefield, and leave this matter to your beggars!" ”
Bai Fan saw that Li Er knew himself so well, and said with great joy, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this chicken and duck purchase can not only make money from meat, but also the feathers of chickens and ducks are also treasures, and if they are processed and made, they can be used as a cold artifact in winter, which is no worse than that sweater!"
Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty to help give a few conveniences, and then the business would be profitable, and the minister would give the court thirty percent! ”
As soon as Li Er heard this, he became interested, this kid can take the initiative to make a profit, it must be a big profit!
"Let's talk about what convenience is first, it's not illegal, I can consider it!"
"First of all, this marinated chicken and duck meat requires a lot of snow salt!
Although snow salt is now about to become popular, it is still very expensive to purchase in large quantities, and we can't afford to meet the salt that pickles all the chickens and ducks, so Your Majesty needs to inform the old prince Li Shentong that snow salt is sold to us cheaply, and there is no limit!
This time is different from cleaning the battlefield, at that time, jerky can be sold expensively, and snow salt can pay off!
This time, the meat of chickens and ducks is still to give back to the people in the north and spend the winter together, not to make profits, but to disaster relief, as long as it can ensure that no one will starve to death in winter, even if it loses money, Bai Fan will sell it to the people in the north! ”
Li Er shouted, "You can always think about the people affected by the disaster in the north without official or position, how can I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, be inferior to you?" As long as I can guarantee to save the people in the north from the winter, I am in charge, increase the output of snow salt, and I will not take a penny from you, and in the end, if you make a profit, you will count it as wages for Uncle Li Shentong, if you lose money......
No, where would you kid do something to lose money?
Just now you said that you want to share it with the imperial court!
The money for buying salt, you can calculate the wages with your uncle and pay the salt workers! ”
Bai Fan covered his face, it can't be considered good or not, meat is meat, hair is hair! I mean losing money and selling meat, what are you doing with the money you pay me to sell my hair?
Although I had a discussion in my heart, I didn't say anything against it, and it was a big surprise to be able to negotiate the sky-high price of salt into wages!
"Good! Just do as Your Majesty commands!
This second convenience is the feathers of this chicken and duck!
Chicken and duck feathers can be used as a filling of clothes in winter, and made into a down jacket to keep warm and cold in winter!
However, the silk used for clothing is too expensive to reach the common people, and the linen cloth is too coarse to hold these, and it is easy to leak out!
It was best with cotton!
This cotton cloth is a cloth made of cotton, when he went to the north before, the minister asked Tang Jian to negotiate with Gao Chang about the business of buying white stacks, and this white stacks is the cotton that the minister said!
The minister wanted to take this opportunity to vigorously purchase cotton, but it was transported from Gaochang along the way, and it was difficult, and there was no guarantee from the imperial court.
Those who guard the door and guard the checkpoint are too exploitative, so they need policy support from His Majesty!
At that time, this business will definitely be very hot, so the profits will be distributed to the imperial court! ”
Li Er understood, this business is another wool business? How profitable is wool?
"Boy, you say so, this profit is huge! You only give the court thirty percent?
Seventy percent of the imperial court will give you thirty percent of the money for hard work! ”
Bai Fanxin said, how can there be such a ruthless bargain?
"No, Your Majesty, the beggars have worked hard for the disciples to travel back and forth for thousands of miles, and thirty percent is definitely not enough!"
"I decreed that you will be unimpeded along the way, and the local soldiers will have one less thing to eat and drink, and I have offended a lot of people for this, how much more do you want? Look at Shuo Fang's Taoist sect, he is in charge of the wool business, how much do I give?
Half an achievement is enough for him to raise troops in Shuofang, and it is not easy for you to help hundreds of thousands of beggars, so this is what you have to do, do you still have to be greedy? "Li Er is also reasonable!
"This down jacket business is limited to raw materials, and it is definitely not so profitable!
There are not many in Sancheng, and the minister also wants the beggars to have a rich New Year! "Bai Fan argues with reason!
"I also want the soldiers to have a good meal for the New Year!"
……
The two argued about this for a full hour, and in the end, it was Li Er's concession, fifty-fifty shares, only limited to this disaster year business!
After this time, the imperial court convenience was canceled, and everything was done in accordance with normal business procedures!
Bai Fan is also happy to be like this, after this time, where do he go to make so many chicken feathers?
Just after Bai Fan was in full swing for this chicken and duck business and down jacket business, he took the beggars to help his disciples for a month, and a cruel cold swept across the northern land!
The severe cold has led to frequent blizzards and heavy snowfall in the north!
Housing and construction in many places have been affected, for this reason, Emperor Li Er ordered that the local government strictly control, and the price of coal for heating for the people fell by fifty percent!
Officials from all over the country went down to visit, and for families who could not afford to buy coal for heating, the government donated all of them!
Unlike the investment in grain, which is a bottomless pit, coal is also valuable, but at this time it is nothing more than a matter of not making money, even if it is all given away for nothing, it will not lose much money!
Because the coal of the Tang Dynasty today is mined with the 70,000 slaves captured by the Turks at the beginning! So Li Er very boldly announced that he would give it away for nothing!
Where have you heard of such a move in the past? Therefore, the people once again sang praises to this Tang Emperor, and everyone praised him!
Bai Fan also sent beggars from all over the country to go out for free to help the local people who had collapsed houses to relieve disasters and build houses!
Due to the rise of the beggar gang, the underworld forces and ruffian hooligan forces in various places have been co-opted by the beggar gang, this is the first rule set by Bai Fan for the beggar gang to act chivalrous and righteous, the beggar gang can see the ruffian hooligan when they go out, this is the first object of our chivalrous righteousness, do you watch them oppress the good and the good in front of us?
As a result, the scoundrels and ruffians everywhere became tragic, and after a struggle, everyone's social status became lower, from a flat-headed commoner to a beggar! But no one dares to resist the struggle, everything they do, they will be beaten to death if they say it, and the beggars are chivalrous and righteous, so no one will administer justice to themselves at all!
And after a long time of getting along, these are often taken to do good deeds to the neighbors, and gradually accept their new identity, and listen to the villagers praise themselves as a good person, the feeling is different, these people who have experienced drought and locust plagues, this time the snow disaster is rushed to do!
After hearing this, Bai Fan smiled and said, "Doing good deeds will also be contagious!" The Beggar Gang is a place to change people! ”
The disaster in the north, not only Datang suffered, but the grassland was further north, so the disaster was more serious than Datang!
Jieli is already frowning about this matter!
