Chapter 246: The Khitan also has a chopping party
Many generals supported Ye Hua's tough attitude, but they didn't understand why when it came time to use troops, Ye Hua would rather go to negotiations, and even when he encountered an assassination, he didn't continue to hold on to it, but let it go gently. It's not Ye Hua's style at all, could it be that Hou Ye has changed?
People with this view, when they saw the Great Zhou caravan come back with a full load, their messy thoughts disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was strong admiration, admiration to the ground!
When it comes to doing business, in the current world, no one can beat the Han people, especially Ye Hua is in command, which is even more devastating and overwhelming.
"I'm only 50% sure of fighting, although it's not low, but when it comes to business, I'm 100% sure!"
Ye Hua said calmly: "So there is no need for us to take risks. ”
There is no need to talk about traditional fist products, just take the cattle and sheep that the Khitan people come into contact with all day long, they can't play Da Zhou.
After the processed beef, cut into medium-sized pieces, boil in water first, and remove the foam.
Then put it in a large pot, add water, add rice wine, add frosting sugar, add salt, add green onions, garlic, spices, peppercorns and other seasonings, and then add licorice and other medicinal materials.
Cook for two hours, then let it cool, slice and dry...... It is made into a fresh and delicious, moderately soft and hard beef jerky, compared with the traditional air-dried beef of the grassland, it is simply different from cloud mud.
The Khitan beef jerky is harder than wood, and when eating, it should be moistened with saliva, carefully bitten off, and eaten in the mouth, in addition to being hard, it is salty, as if stuffing wood fibers into the stomach, which makes people sick and uncomfortable.
Only the soldiers who went out on the expedition had to bring dried meat as dry food.
However, the jerky of Da Zhou is different, the taste is rich, soft and delicious, suitable for all ages, and many people buy it as a snack.
Holding a huge oiled paper bag, stuffed with beef jerky, enjoying the envious gaze of others, munching and eating, it has become the choice of many Khitan nobles.
They also consider beef jerky as the best accompaniment to alcohol, after all, the greasy nature of barbecue is not something that everyone can afford.
According to the estimation of the merchants of the Great Zhou, they sold the beef jerky produced by a cow for a full 5 yuan!
"Master Hou, to be honest, even if the price is doubled, it can be sold, but the little ones didn't dare, for fear of scaring the Khitans away, the business should be long-term, and it must be a long stream, right?"
Ye Hua reminded with his head, "But don't lose it!" ”
"Please rest assured!"
These people danced with their eyebrows and told Ye Hua that the cowhide belts, cowhide boots, and cowhide bags they made had all become the favorite things of the Khitan nobles 8 guan money to buy a cow, and after their processing, the cowhide and beef alone could be sold for 20 guan minus the manual cost, and nearly 10 guan would make a profit!
More than double the net profit can make people crazy!
And that's still the least earned!
Compared with those who sell tea and silk, they are all conscience prices!
How do the Khitan people understand tea, they are just vassals and elegant, I heard that what kind of tea they drink in the capital, they will buy it, it is cheap, it is not enough, people only need to be expensive, don't be right!
There are also those Khitan women, who obviously have a fishy smell, a fat body, and do not take baths often, but they have to wear the most gorgeous silk and embroider the most complicated ornaments, all like old goblins.
The businessmen on the side of Da Zhou still have to endure the stomach pain, accompany the smiling faces, and recommend them to them.
Know how to wear it if you have a rich person in Kaifeng?
People make three sets of clothes, wear embroidered flowers and bones in the morning, called budding to be released, wear flowers with full spread at noon, call flowers bloom, and wear petals withered at night, called falling red all over the ground...... Look, that's what rich people do.
The Khitan woman was stunned by them, and the result was that she only needed one piece of silk, but she was stunned to buy three! Also go home to show the faction, we have kept up with the fashion of Kaifeng, you guys, all of them are old hats!
Do you think the Khitans are stupid?
You can't look at it that way.
In the official formal trade, all the merchants who come are powerful, and the things they sell are all good goods, at least not cost-effective. In the past, the Khitans also needed goods from the Southern Dynasties.
They buy from smugglers.
Needless to say, the hearts of those smugglers are very dark, obviously the quality is extremely poor, and they are all old styles from a few years ago, and they can't be sold in the warehouse, and they have to get the grassland in exchange for real money and silver, and make a lot of profits.
In contrast, it is better to have formal trade.
They are now just looking forward to the end of the trial run and the start of the official trade, so that more and better things can be sent to meet the needs of shopping.
In a word, a huge chopper party appeared in Daliao, sharpening knives and preparing to purchase frantically and fill their shopping baskets.
They can't wait.
Those who buy are happy, and those who sell are happy.
But some people are angry!
In front of Jerod was a list that had just been calculated.
In order to show his sincerity, Da Zhou took out 300,000 yuan to buy cattle and sheep, fur, and timber...... But when you turn your head, the Khitan side spent 760,000 yuan!
That's right, it's 760,000!
From Da Zhou, 20,000 horses were bought for silk alone!
These losers are crazy, isn't it good for you to wear sheepskin, why do you wear silk? What's even more infuriating is that many men also put on silk brocade robes and shook a small fan sprinkled with gold.
Show off to others when you meet, see if you see it, the words on it are Yan Zhenqing's, as well as Feng Taishi's seal, the fan bone is ivory, and what a decent thing...... Ghost knows, such a fan costs 8,000 pieces!
Crazy, all crazy!
Ye Hua's kid is full of nonsense, and he also said that he would buy more Khitan things, so that the Khitan could make money in business and make a fart!
You've taken it all!
Yelu couldn't sit still, he took the list and went to find Yelu Jing, in front of the emperor, he bitterly stated the benefits and harms, and moved Yelu Jing.
"In that case, then stop the trade?"
He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to give orders, and suddenly Yelu Jing noticed that on his thumb, there was also a white jade wrench!
Seeing this thing, Yelu Jing's expression eased a lot.
He likes to hunt, so naturally he can't do without a wrench.
In the past, wrenches were made of bone, stone, and occasionally gold and silver, which were also very rough. But the things of Da Zhou are different, what a good white jade, warm and delicate, like the back of a girl's hand, on the back of the wrench, there is also a vivid dragon, which is most worthy of the emperor's identity.
This wrench is worth 30,000!
It's expensive, but Yelujing thinks it's worth it.
If you stop trading, won't you be able to buy a wrench?
His Majesty the Emperor has also become a chopping party!
This makes people forbidden, it is simply unforbidden.
But with so much money flowing out, we can't turn a blind eye.
There was no way, Yerusha came over again and introduced the matter to Ye Hua.
"Oh!"
Ye Hua seemed to have just knew, "Hey, your country actually suffered a loss, I didn't expect it...... If you want to do this, I will keep the trade volume down, and sell the surplus to the Western Regions anyway, maybe I can make more money. ”
"Don't!"
Yelusha immediately stopped Ye Hua, trade must not be reduced, not only can it not be reduced, but it must be increased, otherwise how can it satisfy the bottomless pit of the Khitan nobles?
But what about such a big gap?
Is there a way to fix it?
"Yes, we can also sell it to the Western Regions!"
Jerusha found a solution to the problem.
If you don't want to be the wronged leader, find a more wronged one and let the tribes of the Western Regions act as the pick-up man...... It's a great solution, it's great!
Profit-driven, it is simply more effective than the Holy Decree.
The Khitans quickly put themselves in the position of second-tier dealers.
In addition, Ye Hua promised to increase the purchase amount by 500,000 yuan, and he would definitely not let the Khitan suffer. Chai Rong, who heard this, silently added two words, "It's weird"!
Ye Hua, this kid, is simply full of bad water, and he can't pay for his life.
He took 500,000 yuan to purchase, the Khitan side has more money, and will only buy more Dazhou goods, one is a production-type country, the other is a predatory country, and it is strange that the trade can be balanced!
The problem now is that once the Khitan find out that they are suffering, they will flip the table if they can't bear it.
When the time comes, a big war is inevitable, can Da Zhou afford it?
The same problem was encountered by the Great Song Dynasty, and they chose to pay protection money and use the money to buy peace...... But up and down the Great Zhou, from Guo Wei, to Chai Rong, to Ye Hua, they are all people who are unwilling to bow their heads.
They chose to organize the army and actively prepare for war!
The money earned from doing business was invested in dredging the canals and renovating the city.
In addition, Ye Hua also built a bed crossbow, due to the success of gunpowder, the toolbar of the city was suddenly enriched, Ye Hua planned to build 3,000 bed crossbows within half a year, including 1,000 each in Cangzhou and Qianning, and another thousand, put on the water division!
"If we want to attack the Khitan, the best way is to advance by land and water, in the name of the manufacturer ship, build warships, which can transport soldiers and supplies, and if necessary, directly attack the Khitan hinterland, so that they will not be able to take care of it." Ye Hua outlined the overall strategy, "A warship costs about 3,000 guan, 100 ships are only 300,000 guan, and 200 ships are only 600,000 guan, not much money, really not much." In less than a year, we will be able to earn it from the Khitans! ”
What else can Chai Rong say, use the money of the Khitans to make weapons against the Khitans, such a fun thing, you can think of it thanks to the champion Hou!
