Chapter 90 Ready

Shi Jiatong didn't expect that he would cause such a storm after singing two lines of poetry.

Behind this storm, many problems are reflected.

There are both the history of merchants pursuing profits and sometimes being used by the monarch to transfer conflicts, and there are also the people of Si Shang who have truly begun to understand the changes in making voices for their own interests.

Farmers who own land do not like the low price of grain, especially the policy of the Song State is too free and too "helping the strong and bullying the weak". A large number of large tracts of land use the land of the farmer produce a lot of grain every year, and the per capita grain consumption at the bottom of the Song State is far less than that of Si Shang, which has led to a lot of grain flowing into the Si Shang market every year, impacting the food price in Si Shang and causing damage to the people.

The merchants have heard of this news, and the city Jiatong has naturally heard this opinion in person. Now the Si Shang side still argues endlessly, and what he wants to say is not this at all.

After hearing the song "The Owl", a businessman immediately spoke out: "As the saying goes, man follows heaven and earth, and Tao follows nature. This natural principle cannot be changed."

"For example, there are many kinds of cotton, indigo and valleys in the fields now. This year's grain is expensive, and next year's grains will be more than five grains and less cotton indigo, and the valley price will be cheap next year."

"This is the truth of your Mohist family in "The Rich Country", which is also considered a heavenly ambition? Since the Mohist family followed the heavenly ambition and took the heavenly ambition as the rule, could this be intervened?"

The other merchants whispered and agreed. The city Jiatong suddenly realized and smiled and said, "I don't talk about the ambition today, but only talk about the benefit of the world. I am not trying to talk about this, I am trying to say... Although the weather is good now, the weather is unpredictable and the earth is unpredictable, so you must observe it."

After he said what he really wanted to do, many merchants obviously breathed a long sigh and said, "The Mo family cared for the people of the world, which is the reason why the aspiring people in the world gathered in Si Shang. According to the world, in addition to Si Shang, it is also the world. We should build a charity warehouse in case of emergency needs."

The Shi Jiatong didn't care about these praises. There were many reasons why the Mohist school did not need to come forward on his own.

For example, the Mohist family did not have power in any city, but merchants had a wide network of relationships in different cities, which could mobilize local power; for example, the Mohist family personally governed the acquisition, which may have a lot of problems and required a large number of cadres; for example, the Mohist family came forward to build and acquire, which may have different suspicions.

Nowadays, merchants gathered here are available from all over the world and are just suitable for use.

The city Jiatong said the names of more than 20 cities and said, "One day this Yicang Mo family will cultivate the whole world. The heavenly ambitions you just mentioned are reasonable, but the food is different from other things. When you really want to starve to death, the choice of pearls, jade and Zhongshu is probably not that simple."

The more than 20 cities he mentioned were large and small. Half of them were in the Song State, and half were in Qi, Wei, Wei and other places, all around Si Shang.

The city Jiatong knew that he wanted to gather people with profit. The matter of speculation in Zhongshan Country has been decided, so many businessmen need cash that they can invest in.

Many people even plan to borrow high-interest loans. At this time, they use the network of relationships in the hands of merchants, interact with the forces of the aristocratic local tribes, and other a series of goods for cash exchange, which will inevitably attract the participation of merchants.

The city Jiatong said: "The Mohist family can do such a thing as purchasing grain and building a charity warehouse. However, it requires manpower. The Mohist lacks manpower, so he wants to contract it to you personally."

"The grain price is calculated based on the average price of grain this year, and the construction cost is also paid. You can calculate what you can afford, and the one who bids the lowest will get."

"The Mohist family will pay bills directly from the Jinshang. The bills can be exchanged at any time or directly invested in various companies to think of equity. You should be assured of this."

The merchants nodded one after another, thinking that they were naturally relieved.

The Mohist family has a very good reputation, and the Jinxing itself is a product of the Mohist family. In addition, many of the goods needed by Zhongshan Country need to be purchased from the Mohist family this time, so there will be no mistakes.

With the strength of the Mo family now, merchants think that even if Jia Fenghong said loans in a blink of an eye, he did not need any mortgage or interest, and relying solely on reputation, he could borrow a lot of money.

Many businessmen are extremely enthusiastic about speculation about Zhongshan Kingdom. However, time is in a hurry and it is difficult to raise enough cash, so they are worried about it.

The words of Jiatong in the city are really like a long drought and rain.

Many merchants have dated some aristocrats who operate land. Now that the autumn harvest has just arrived, the price of grain is low. As long as you are familiar with it, you can get a batch of grain first without cash.

There are also some merchants who have a lot of food in their hands, but they have to wait and see because the policy on Si Shang has not been decided. Once the policy on Si Shang has set a policy on importing food at a price that is not lower than a certain price, a lot of food may be thrown into their hands, so no one takes over at this time.

Shipping to Si also requires transportation costs, loss on the way, etc. If they can be digested nearby and exchanged for cash, they want to throw out all the food in their hands.

Shi Jiatong considered that once the war began, there might be a businessman breach of contract, and he only required merchants who could mortgage some industries or bills in Si Shang to participate.

This is actually quite generous condition, roughly equivalent to interest-free loans, and can immediately get enough cash for speculation in Zhongshan China, which is far better than using the bill industry to borrow high interest rates.

The city Jiatong also mentioned the details, including the amount of grain stockpiling, the approximate scale of granary construction, etc.

Finally, it was said that the final bidding would be held here in five days, and the merchants would only go back and prepare.

This banquet, which initially caused the merchants to be nervous because of "The Owl", ended in an uplifting and grateful mood.

Although the final result has not been revealed, Keshi Jia Tong is sure that this matter can be done well.

Shi Jiatong was increasingly impressed by the suitability for bringing up this matter.

Originally, there was no such method in the world. If the material foundation was insufficient, this method could not be realized at all.

At most, some merchants followed the soldiers who went to war, sold some goods, or secretly operated brothels to make profits.

The greatest significance of this incident in the eyes of Jiatong, is actually a kind of "being responsible for food to the enemy", but the way of plundering the villagers is different.

The method proposed is based on the material basis conditions at this time.

It was originally necessary to spend money on the battle, and I couldn't save this money.

However, it also requires people to transport the expropriated food, so the consumption of food will be greatly increased.

Taking a hundred miles as a distance, a civilian uses a wheeled ink truck to transport food. If he transports 100 kilograms, it will cost twenty kilograms back and forth. The farther the distance, the larger the amount, which is also a huge expense.

However, this appropriate method can save the power of mobilizing civilians and workers. Even if there are cargo ships that can be transported along the river, the transportation consumption will not be small.

This is equivalent to spending money to use some of the war potential of Song, Wei, Qi, Wei and other countries.

The merchants need manpower to build granaries, and they must hire local people, so they do not need to recruit military service in Si Shang.

If merchants want to stock up on food, they need to buy it nearby and will not use local folk food in Sishang.

Moreover, a large part of the money speculative by these merchants will flow into the handicraft market in Sishang, which can stimulate the development of Sishang's economy.

It is truly a killing of multiple goals, but it can only be applied to places near Si Shang where the commodity economy is more developed than elsewhere and agricultural reform is gradually completed. It is difficult to have such an effect when used elsewhere.

The originally huge logistical pressure was transferred by this method, especially in some cities near the direction of Lu, where Qi State wanted to establish a charity warehouse, which was equivalent to using Qi State's food and Qi State's labor to do logistics, allowing the Mohist and Qi State to fight.

The Mo family only needs to take out the money and then send a few people to the charity warehouses everywhere for inspection and supervision.

The tricks in this were also considered by Jiatong, and after careful calculation, I was afraid that this time the integration of Si Shang and the Fei Kingdom change, the Mohist school could solve the problem without spending much money.

In other words, the military expenditure of the Mohist family this time was equivalent to the payment of the people of Zhongshan, because the weapons needed to restore the country were purchased from the Mohist family, and these expenses could also support a decisive battle between the Mohist family and the interfering forces of various countries for several months.

Shi Jiatong thought, this time, Shi really mobilized the power of the people of the world, and this mobilization was not compulsory, but could make people flock to them for profit.

The rulers, ministers and the people of Zhongshan Kingdom were afraid that they would not care about the affairs of Feiguo at all, but they paid for it.

Mr. Zhao was afraid that he didn't care whether the people were seeking profit or not to control the law, but Mr. Zhao worked hard for this.

The Marquis of Wei and Prince Zhi certainly would not support the affairs of Fei State, but in order to seek profit, the merchants of Wei State delivered the money for Zhongshan to Si Shang in advance as a medium to help Zhongshan restore the country for many years in the future.

The use of these methods was indeed the best in one's mind, and he was extremely convinced of this.

Five days later, in the midst of the crowd, all the charity warehouses established under the name of "preparing for the future" were tendered.

According to the contract, each of these charity warehouses must store about 500,000 kilograms of grain, as well as a sufficient amount of firewood or coal, and the shape of the warehouse built must also meet the standards.

The merchants used some of their own industrial notes as collateral, and took advantage of the opportunity when they did not perform martial arts after the autumn harvest, and completed the delivery before spring plowing in March next year.

If the payment is not paid within the deadline, the Mohist family will take back the shares of Zhongshan Guo speculation; and before acceptance, the shares and notes will be temporarily collected in the hands of the Mohist family.

As for the process, negotiations with local aristocrats and other issues, they are all considered as the businessmen's own business. The Mohist school doesn't care at all, just sending people to supervise and supervise the producer.

After everything was signed, the speculative company of Zhongshanguo was also listed on Sishang and quickly raised shares.

After completing these tasks, Jiatong, the Shishi immediately wrote a report to report specific arrangements and some details.

At the end of the report, Jiatong, Shi, wrote: "I will not divide the troops and the enemy. The situation of the enemy's advance has been established."

This is not a false statement, because after completing this matter, it means that the Mohist school can use these supply stations arranged in advance to move quickly without division of troops.

As for the huge logistical pressure of Wei, Han and Qi and other countries, they had no other way to join forces to march together, and they had no other way except to divide the troops.

As long as the command is properly carried out and a victory will be won that annihilates one before joining the army, the pressure on Si will be much less.

All of this, Shi Jiatong also understood that it was actually for the preparation and preparation for the integration of the countries in Si Shang.

After writing the last stroke, Jia Tong, the city thought to himself, what is the situation in Feiguo?
