500. Organize a caravan (medium)

"Mother-in-law, we are about to go to the Western Regions, you better hurry up and prepare the goods, otherwise I am afraid that the price will increase after a while!" Jingwen said to Cui's.

And Cui's didn't answer, but Cui Ying, the "little tail" next to Cui's, said: "You are so kind that you actually took the initiative to tell our Cui family this?" Our Cui family is a big family, how can we go into business like you? ”

Cui Ying is now nineteen years old, and Jingwen was a little surprised when he saw her again. However, Jingwen is also a little strange, why is Cui Ying so old and not ready to get married? Many aristocratic girls are already engaged at the age of twelve, but why hasn't Cui Ying been engaged until now? This is obviously not in line with common sense. (Ask the author!) )

However, when a little girl became a young woman now, this change in appearance is not a little bit, it is almost very huge. So even Jingwen feels very amazing, after all, with the accumulation of excellent genes from generations of families, it is almost impossible to have ugly men and ugly women, so they are all handsome men and beautiful women!

"Miss Cui, we don't talk darkly. Although you big families claim to dislike this kind of Adu, but you noble ladies have food, clothing, housing, food, food As far as I know, I'm afraid that in addition to buying land, there will be people in charge of business! You're just doing business in someone else's name, don't think I don't know. Now that the trade routes in the Western Regions are about to be opened, will you not be able to look down on them? I don't believe this! Jingwen said politely.

Jingwen has a certain understanding of these scholars, and these guys are all Confucian and Mencian ways in their mouths, but they are only loyal to their own interests behind their backs. They say they don't care about business, but they are doing business in someone else's name, and then they are squandering it for themselves, or they are continuing to buy land. Those scholars, in fact, had plenty of land in the early days of a country. And it has just gone through the war, and the population is sparse. In this case, no matter how much the family recruits tenants, it will be difficult to recruit enough. The population is sparse, the land is abundant, and people want to get their own land, who would think of being a tenant for others! Therefore, at this time, the family is actually very sad, and they don't have many people who can help them cultivate their fields. And what to do with this? That's business. When a war in a country has just ended, it is a waste to be rebuilt. There is a great demand for all kinds of materials. So, business is definitely able to make money. How could these great families not look at commercial interests? If you don't do business, how can you feed such a large family of nobles who are not engaged in production?

Cui Ying is not easy to say anything, because in fact, Cui Ying also knows that her family has started business, so it is naturally not good for the eldest brother to talk about the second brother.

"However, we haven't done business directly, don't you feel ashamed that you, an official, actually do business directly?" Cui Ying said.

But Jingwen said: "I am a real villain, you are a hypocrite." A real villain and a hypocrite are exactly a couple! ”

"You ......" Cui Ying was angry for a while.

"Okay, okay, don't argue, what's there to quarrel about? This trade route in the Western Regions is definitely something we want to get involved in. And. Not only does our Cui family have to organize manpower, but I'm afraid we have to practice a few others. Among the seven sects and five surnames, many people are in this situation, anyway, we don't have to laugh at others. This trade route. Once and again, there are several times less to say, more than dozens of times the profit! Although it takes a year to go back and forth, and there are risks. But the profits are too great. As long as we act together and send some troops to protect it, it shouldn't be a big problem. Therefore, we still organized people to go to the Western Regions to do business. What is lacking in the Western Regions, of course we will sell. In our troubled times, the people had no food and clothing, and the rich were destitute. No one bought the silk porcelain that had been backlogged during the heyday of the Sui Dynasty. Now they can all be thrown to the Western Regions and let them spend money to buy it. Cui said.

Cui's is still very economically conscious, when the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, the people had no way to survive, how could they afford to wear silk? Moreover, at that time, the rich did not dare to use too luxurious things, because if they were still extravagant at this time, then wouldn't those warlords specifically target your wealth? Therefore, these luxury goods are not easy to sell in troubled times. However, once it is peaceful and prosperous, and now it is just in the period of economic recovery, I am afraid that if you want some people to get rich first, this will still have to be accumulated for several years. Now the people are at most just able to eat and wear, and they are still far away if they want to live a good life! And now that the trade routes of the Western Regions have been opened, these backlogged luxury goods can be sold.

The people in the Western Regions were only able to enjoy the goods transported from the East by the aristocracy, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enjoy them. Therefore, no matter how high the price is, those local tyrants in the Western Regions can afford it. Even go to the Byzantine Empire, it's worth a lot! Not only Westerners have heard that there is porcelain and silk in the East, but even Orientals know that there are many big dogs over there, and the goods that they have fainted from are not worried about selling at all. Silk porcelain alone brings ten times the profit every year. And soon, I'm afraid there will be another extra tea. However, tea is Jingwen's territory, and ordinary people don't get involved much. At that time, at most, Jingwen sold the tea at a low price to those who had good relationships, and then they resold it to the Western Regions to obtain profits.

Now people don't know that Jingwen has asked people to go to Jiangnan to buy land that can produce tea on a large scale, and even those places that can produce high-quality tea in Jingwen's memory have purchased some land as a reserve to grow tea in the future. And these plots of land are all located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the development process of Jiangnan in this era is very low, so Jingwen is not afraid of competing with grain for arable land. At that time, as long as the source of tea is monopolized, then this tea will be a huge commercial benefit.

"Okay, let everyone hurry up and buy supplies, and in a few days the news will start to spread widely. Never despise the businessman's news channels, or we will all suffer a big loss. Jingwen said.

And Jingwen knows very well that the information related to the economy, in addition to the highest level of the government, I am afraid that the first to know is the group of businessmen. The group of businessmen is very sensitive to business opportunities, and this kind of trade route in the Western Regions is opened, which is even more fat for those wealthy businessmen with good hands and eyes. Those who can trade in the Western Regions are all big businessmen! What news do these businessmen want to know, and it's not very easy? (To be continued......)
