Spring and Autumn I Am King

More than ten days have passed since the messenger sent the car to Zheng Country to find the famous doctor from Qin Yue. шшш..

The time soon entered August, and the weather turned cold day by day. In the fields around Xinjiang, the corn sown in spring was harvested.

This year's harvest is good, which is undoubtedly good news for the people of Xinjiang who have been involved in the wheat flour dispute. Because a large amount of fresh corn entered the millet market, the price of cereals, which had risen because of Zhao's wheat flour sales, was able to fall back.

Cheap grain hurts farmers, expensive grain hurts people, and maintaining the price of corn within a stable range is the top priority of a country.

At this time of previous years, various clans would buy corn at a low price to replenish their warehouses to prevent disasters or wars. However, this year, the Zhao family didn't need to do it deliberately. He only needed to put a large amount of wheat flour into the millet market, and the food from the carts and carts would naturally be delivered to the door.

For more than ten days, the wheat flour alone has made Zhao's money overflowing. Although the price of ordinary wheat flour has dropped by half, there are many more people who buy it, so the income is still more than 100,000 shi.

And Fan's businessmen were excluded from this emerging business without any suspense.

Naturally, they would not be reconciled. Fan Yang and Fan Jishe were not in Xinjiang, so Fan Jia, the head of the family, and the family leader decided to launch a counterattack and cut the price. However, their continuous price cuts had no effect, because after the initial competition and advertising effects, the wheat flour market in the millet market, whether it was high-level or middle-level, was basically occupied by Zhao.

According to Zigong's estimation, the "market share" is about 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​are strictly ordered by Fan's family, who are required to produce and sell their own products.

Fan Jia is not a mediocre person. Seeing that his counterattack didn't work, he launched a dying struggle to hurt others and not himself.

They even convened the Chinese people in the millet market and made the stone grinding technology public!

and. Fan's Craftsman's Workshop also gave some hand mills to Zhongxing's family, to convince them to start grinding wheat flour on their own, and Zhao's first acted on it after learning the news. This technology was passed on to the Han family who had been friends with him, and the Wei family who was fighting for it.

This is still the suggestion of Zhao Wuxi and Zigong. According to Fan's game of perishing together, even if Zhao's deliberately concealed this thing, it will only be delayed for a month. Share benefits with allies. This is the correct way to do it, sticking to it, but it seems that the pattern is small.

Because, just relying on wheat flour, a month, even if you die, you can put hundreds of thousands of stone corn into the warehouse.

How many towns did the Zhao family have? Nearly a hundred!

Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period when the commodity economy was just emerging, commodity farming could still only be used as a supplement to farming.

as the head of the family. Don't be dazzled by the small profit fans in front of you, and you can't put the cart before the horse. The fundamental purpose of Zhao's move is to boost the economy of Zhao's territory and at the same time bind interests with allies.

As a result, under the wrestling of all parties, the price of wheat flour continued to decline, until it fell to the level of one buck for one stone of corn. However, what makes Fan want to cry without tears is that Zhao's situation of occupying the majority of the market has not only not eased, but has intensified.

They were puzzled, but Zigong and Ji Qiao researched it all night. Calculated an account for Zhao Wuxi.

Zigong grabbed the abacus, stretched out a finger and said, "Originally, a bucket of wheat flour sold three stones of corn, but Xinjiang and its surrounding areas can buy food from scholar-bureaucrats and Chinese households. There are only more than a thousand."

Zhao Wuxi nodded. At first, wheat flour was indeed sold as a luxury item, and those who could afford it were the upper class.

"Nowadays, the price of wheat flour has dropped to a low price of one bucket for ten buckets. But the number of households purchased is close to 5,000! Moreover, what Fan and Zhao have leaked is only a small hand-grinding technology, a large-scale mill, Even if others know about it, it will take a long time to build.”

Ji Qiao also stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Besides the gentleman's hometown, who has tens of thousands of stone of wheat to be milled? Zhu Qing did not focus on planting wheat, but now they have run out of There are not many palaces left, and the raw materials these days are still bought and shipped by Chengxiang from the homes of people in the country.”

Zhao Wuxi was stunned, nodded and said: "So, after Fan's trouble, Zhao's wheat flour sales have actually expanded, and the profit earned has not decreased. Fan is really doing harm to himself and others. Great thing."

However, these fluctuations did not affect Chengxiang in the slightest, because most of the wheat flour business and even the stored wheat had been transferred to the lower palace. Chengxiang is only producing for their own needs, and the economic center of the entire township has begun to specialize in making porcelain.

And Wu Xie said that for porcelain, only money, silk and gold coins are accepted!

As a result, Gebu, linen, silk, and even Lu Zhe; Jin's empty first coins, Qi's knife coins, and Chu's gold coins came. Under Zigong's means of stocking, the business of porcelain has been expanded to the whole city of Xinjiang, and it has become a popular object of scholars and officials after wheat flour, which is in short supply.

And Zhao Wuxi also targeted the biggest demander of high-grade porcelain, Xiqi Palace!

Although he was given the Palace Entry Talisman by the Marquis of Jin, he could enter and leave the Xiqi Palace at will, but he also knew how to behave. Every time, he would show something new to please the Marquis of Jin.

For the first time, it was the good method of Piju and Cuju. The entertainment items in the Spring and Autumn Period were very poor. As the king of a country, Duke Luzhuang could be bored to the point where he went to Qi State to watch the village community. . And some dwarfs and advocating talents in the Xiuqi Palace, performing extremely clumsy and boring performances in Zhao Wuxi's opinion, can actually make the Marquis of Jin amused.

It is also a bit interesting for a slender dancer to wear long sleeves and dance to the old-fashioned drum music, but if you watch it too much, it will be boring.

So, when the two teams of palace guards took off their armors, and under Zhao Wuxi's demonstration ~www.wuxiahere.com~ kicked kickball half-baked in the palace field, it was the same as when Zhao Guangde first saw this situation in Chengxiang. , the young Marquis of Jin was immediately attracted.

After a morning of practice, the palace guards were all addicted to the game, and their kicks gradually improved, making them more enjoyable to watch.

The Marquis of Jin sometimes couldn't help it, so he put on his hunting uniform and went off to play, but the palace armour didn't dare to compete with him. Marquis Wu of Jin inherited Duke Wen of Jin's spare canthus, but he did not inherit the great tolerance of Duke Miao of Jin. How could the palace guards dare to follow him.

So after going back and forth, Jin Hou felt bored and sat back on the stage to watch.

"Shoot, shoot quickly! Oops! It's really stupid. If you miss the opportunity, you will be fined this month's silk and corn!"

Although, this high-weight audience is also very noisy.

When he entered the palace for the second time, Zhao Wuxi presented porcelain specially made for the monarch:

Seven Dings and Six Gui's are the most important weapons of the country! (To be continued.)
