After learning about the members of the delegation and inviting them to a light meal, Yang Xingguo also took them to the direction of Liaozhong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When they completely left Yingkou County and were surrounded by ripe rice and corn, Yang Xingguo asked directly to the delegation behind him.

"Are there any grain merchants among you......

"I'm ...... I'm ...... too," Immediately, two people rushed to Yang Xingguo's side.

Yang Xingguo asked directly: "Since you are a grain merchant, then you should know the grain prices in Jiangnan and the capital very well, I don't know if any of you can tell me how much silver you can earn by transporting grain from Jiangnan to the capital......

"I often sell grain between Jiangnan and the capital, and I know ......"

"The rice in the south of the Yangtze River is about one or two or five silver per load, and the price in the capital is more than twice as much, about three or two or five loads. If it is ground into rice, the price is two taels of silver once and four taels of silver and five taels of silver. ”

"On the surface, there is a two-fold gap in food, but the actual profit is very small."

"We all know that grain saves money by waterway, but even if it is a waterway, a load of grain needs to go north for one or two or five silver travel expenses, plus labor costs and taxes, a load of rice sold in the capital, I can only earn two dollars of silver. A load of rice can earn four pieces of silver......"

After a short silence, Yang Xingguo replied: "The profit is not high, after all, the whole transportation cycle from Jiangnan to the capital is too long......"

"It's not high......," replied the merchant who had just spoken.

"After a year's hard work, I can only earn twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver at most..."

Yang Xingguo nodded and continued to ask: "If you collect grain from Liaodong, you will have two taels of silver for rice and three taels of silver for rice. If it is transported to the capital, how much silver can be earned for each load of grain. ”

The merchant thought for a moment and replied: "From here to the capital, even if you take the official road from Shanhaiguan, it is only a few hundred miles. On average, the freight cost of a load of grain is about seven yuan of silver, and if you take the waterway from Yingkou Wharf, the freight rate may be reduced to five yuan of silver, and it may be ......."

"In that case......" said the merchant's eyes, which were already full of heat.

After taking a deep breath. Suppress the excitement in your heart and answer with the weapon that you are as calm as possible.

"Each load of grain can earn at least four yuan of silver, or even five or six yuan of silver, and the profit is more than twice as much as that of transporting grain from Jiangnan."

Two or three times the original profit. This is absolutely unthinkable for businessmen.

So, after saying that, it took the businessman half a minute of shock to react. Then, looking at Yang Xingguo with an expectant face, he asked: "I don't know how much grain can be produced in the five counties of Liaozhong controlled by the Liaodong Army......

The performance of the other party made Yang Xingguo realize that the grain merchant in front of him had been attracted by huge profits.

After thinking about it, he replied with a smile: "Because of the urgency of time, only one million acres of fertile land in the five counties of central Liaoning have been planted with grain this year. “

"Among them, there are more than 900,000 mu of rice and more than 300,000 mu of coarse grain corn."

"Now. The population of the five counties in central Liaoning has already exceeded 1 million, and with the reclamation of a large number of refugees, tomorrow we will have at least 3 million mu of fertile land that can be planted with grain. ”

These businessmen will not care about next year, and they will not be able to manage it.

In their eyes, the autumn harvest that is close at hand is already a cornucopia beckoning to them.

In the fertile land of the Northeast, it is easy to harvest three loads of grain per acre.

Even if there are three quintals of grain per acre of land, all the more than one million mu of fertile land add up to three or four million quintals of grain.

Such a huge amount of grain can be sold even if it is sold to the outside world for one million quintals. At least five pennies of silver per load of grain. No, even the profit of seven or eight cents of silver. One million quintals of grain all added up, that is also a profit of seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

When the time comes, even if you only get a share of the profits. That's also seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, which is worth three years of business in the Guannai. ”

Thinking of this, the two grain merchants immediately made a decision in their hearts: they would go back to Jiangnan now to raise money and come to Liaodong to do grain business.

So, as if they had discussed, the two of them said to Yang Xingguo at the same time, "Commander Yang." I decided to come to Liaodong to invest, and every county under the control of the Liaodong Army had to come to at least one grain store. In addition, I also want to buy a large amount of grain in Liaodong and sell it in the direction of the capital. Now there are ten days left before the autumn harvest, and time is pressing, I want to go back to Hubei now to raise silver two ......."

"Yes!" Yang Xingguo replied very quickly.

And just when the two of them were happy, Yang Xingguo's tone suddenly changed, and he continued: "However, what I want to remind you is that doing business on the territory of my Liaodong Army must abide by the rules of our Liaodong Army. In addition, in order to protect the interests of the people, our Liaodong Army will collect grain with you at the price of two taels of silver and one load. In other words, your purchase price can only be equal to or more than two taels of silver and a load of grain, and it cannot be lower than ......."

"Yes, no problem......" The two businessmen replied without thinking.

Seeing the excited smiles on the faces of the two grain merchants, several businessmen who were obviously familiar with them and had a good relationship with them hurriedly surrounded them and said: "Lao Wang, we are old friends, you can't forget me in such a profitable business, how about I invest 20,000 taels of silver......

"I also invested 20,000 taels of silver...... It's not been a day or two since we've been working together, you have to agree......"

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Yang Xingguo said with a satisfied face: "Please rest assured, what you see now is only a small business opportunity in Liaodong, and next, I have more business opportunities to tell you......"

Even with Yang Xingguo's reminder, the two grain merchants still reaped an investment of more than 100,000 taels of silver.

After greeting Yang Xingguo, the two grain merchants hurried back to Yingkou Wharf, preparing to follow the fleet to Hubei to raise silver.

Looking at the figure of the two grain merchants leaving in a hurry, the others were not only envious but looking forward to it.

Everyone looked at Yang Xingguo, expecting Yang Xingguo to bring them a big business opportunity......

Soon, the group entered a settlement of more than 2,000 people.

After several months of construction, the settlement already had the appearance of a town. However, in the wide streets, apart from a few people, there is not even a single shop.

At this time, Yang Xingguo suddenly reminded: "The people here are all refugees from the war who came here because of the war, except for the necessary rations provided to them by the Liaodong Army, they are now lacking everything." ”

However, this only means that now, it will not be long before they will have a lot of silver in their hands. Because, all the fertile fields outside the town are theirs, and in ten days, everyone here will have an income of five acres of land......"

A merchant immediately reacted and said excitedly: "I understand, there is nothing here, even if there is silver, people here can't buy anything." Winter is coming soon, and if I bring a lot of cotton cloth and cotton clothes from Jiangnan, I will definitely make a lot of silver......"
