Chapter 1500 Summary

Not only the county government, but the supply and marketing cooperatives in all townships and villages in Jinchuan County are also performing the same scene.

Almost all the people who learned the news bought some by the chamber of commerce and supply and marketing cooperatives.

Those who have no money or are reluctant to spend money, buy cheap third-class and fourth-class products and taste fresh, are rich and sensible, or want to give gifts with kelp, which is the main purchasing group for second-class and first-class products.

Especially for first-class products, Yuan Caiwei adopted the hunger marketing model and deliberately did not release too much, resulting in many people who received the news late and did not buy it.

Kelp is not bad, and the price of third-class and fourth-class products is also very low. It can not only serve as some food rations, but also prevent and treat big neck diseases. After people eat it, they have received rave reviews.

In less than two days, the first batch of kelp transported back was sold out by the people of Jinchuan County!

When Yuan Caiwei sorted out the account book and sent it to the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess was having a meeting with Tie Shixin Xiaoyu and others to discuss about kelp. When he learned that Yuan Caiwei was coming, he asked Zhuer to take Yuan Caiwei to the imperial study room.

"How much did the first batch of kelp sell?" asked the Ninth Princess.

"It's sold out." Yuan Caiwei replied.

"So fast?" The Ninth Princess was stunned.

When Zhenyuan No. 2 and 3 were unloading the goods, she was at the dock and knew how many kelp was unloaded on the two large ships.

At that time, hundreds of workers were used at Jinchuan Wharf and unloaded them for half the night!

The Ninth Princess felt that so much kelp would have to be sold for ten or half a month, but she didn't expect that it would be sold out in just two days.

"Is kelp a new food? Is it a new food? Mr. Jin brought it back from Donghai to treat people with big neck diseases. Everyone is curious, so they bought some and tasted it. After eating it, they found that the taste was very good. The prices of third-class and fourth-class products are not high, so the repurchase rate is very high, and the repurchasers often buy more than the first time."

Yuan Caiwei said: "When other people who were still watching saw that kelp is so popular, they were afraid that they would not be able to grab it, so they hurriedly snatched it. After a while, they were all snatched up."

This is how people buy things, not buy things, and when buying things and eating, they would rather queue up to go to shops with good business than shops with fewer customers.

This is a kind of herd mentality, and it is actually a life experience accumulated over a long period of time.

Those shops with bad business are likely to have problems.

"Keep kelp is indeed very popular. My old woman also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab a few kilograms. By the time she wanted to buy it for the second time, she could no longer buy it."

Tie Shixin smiled and said, "My old woman regrets this. She said that kelp is delicious and she doesn't even need to put salt. She bought too little at home."

Kelp is taken out of the sea and is not washed with fresh water when drying, and it has a strong and salty flavor.

Although the fine salt in Xihewan only costs ten cents per pound, for the people who have just passed through hard days, it is a little bit of money to save.

This is another reason why the people snatch kelp.

"Mr. Tie goes back and tells the old lady that I will leave some fine products for her when the next batch of kelp is back." Yuan Caiwei said with a smile.

"That's great for Miss Caiwei. If the old woman knew about it, she would definitely be very happy."

Tie Shixin first thanked Yuan Caiwei, then waved his hand and said, "But no need for now. We are old and can't eat much. We have a few pounds at home for a long time. If we finish eating, I will go to find Miss Caiwei to get some."

After saying that, he turned to look at another official from the Privy Council next to him: "Master Lu, do you want it? If you want it, take advantage of Miss Caiwei's place and speak quickly, otherwise it will be really hard to grab it."

"I don't need it!" Lord Lu waved his hands repeatedly.

He was once an old minister in a local area when Chen Ji was in power. He had a straightforward personality and repeatedly submitted memorials to advise Chen Ji, hoping that he would not build a large number of projects to collect cultural treasures and let him go down to see the sufferings of the people.

The Ninth Princess knew that Chen Ji would be furious when she saw these memorials, so she secretly discounted them when she was reviewing them for Chen Ji.

But once, the Ninth Princess accompanied Princess Qing to the palace to burn incense and fulfill her wish. Chen Ji had some brain cramps and went to the Imperial Study to review the memorials, and then saw Lord Lu's memorials.

Just like the Ninth Princess was worried, Chen Ji was furious after seeing Lord Lu’s memorial and was so angry that he directly ordered the removal of Lord Lu’s official positions.

The Ninth Princess was severely scolded by Chen Ji because she privately deducted Lord Lu's memorial, and therefore she no longer asked the Ninth Princess to review the memorial for him.

But where is the fun thing about reviewing memorials to play with concubines and palace maids in the harem?

After Chen Ji was relieved, the Ninth Princess became a regular visitor to the Imperial Study Room.

Now that the Ninth Princess has ascended the throne, she is in urgent need of staff. Some time ago, she sent a team of escorts to the Central Plains and invited Lord Lu's family to Sichuan.

The talent from Lu University has not been here for a long time and is not used to the atmosphere of the court in Sichuan and Shu, and is a little restrained.

But he likes his current life from the bottom of his heart.

If it were during Chen Ji's rule, Tie Shixin and Yuan Caiwei would definitely be labeled as bribery and accepting bribes by their opponents.

But Tie Shixin and Yuan Caiwei said this in front of the emperor, which shows that both of them have a clear conscience.

Moreover, after coming to Sichuan and Shu, he found that no matter the ninth princess Tie Shixin Xiaoyu or the ordinary villagers in Xihewan Village, everyone was busy doing practical things and no one was intrigue.

Although Lord Lu was honest, he was not stupid. He knew that Tie Shixin was deliberately talking to him just now, just to make him integrate into the court in Sichuan and Sichuan faster.

So Lord Lu smiled gratefully at Tie Shixin and bowed to Yuan Caiwei again.

Yuan Caiwei returned a gift and then gave the account book to Zhu'er: "This is the summary account. Please check it out with your Majesty and all the adults."

The Ninth Princess signaled Zhu'er to take the account book over and first looked at the summary results.

"Two ships of kelp actually sold more than 9,000 taels of silver?" The Ninth Princess was shocked.

Although the guys from the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce said that when selling kelp, Jin Feng sold kelp not to make money, the Ninth Princess, Tie Shixin and others knew very well that selling kelp is actually making money.

The fishermen fished out the kelp from Maolangyu until they were transported back to various stations of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. The total cost of the two ships was no more than 3,000 taels of silver.

This is still the first batch. Many processes are not proficient in them. When they become proficient in the later stage, the cost can be reduced.

"Although third-class and fourth-class products are sold a lot, they are not very profitable. They are mainly profitable from first-class and second-class products." Yuan Caiwei explained.

"Xiaobei is still a business mind." The Ninth Princess sighed.

In fact, neither she nor Jin Feng planned to make money with sea brings. In the Ninth Princess's opinion, selling seaweed would be good enough to keep the cost.
