Chapter 56: Teaching Fishing and Reaping Profits is Short (2)
I was shocked and convinced when I watched the land online.
If you do things yourself, your wisdom is not as good as your profession.
He thought about how these cattle and horses came back for a long time, but Shi Jiatong could make these details nearly perfect.
Seeing Shi Jian there, Jia Tong laughed at himself and said, "Shi, do you think it's easy to be a businessman now? From Qizi's fiefdom to the southern border of Chu, you must remember everything there is. Wherever the villages and communities are fierce and wild, you must know, don't you know that people in the villages and communities dared to kill and eat Qin Mu Gong's horses?"
The villages at this time were different from those in later generations. They continued until the Qin and Han dynasties. The villages had a high degree of autonomy, and there were also many evil young people and bold people.
Not to mention eating a horse, even the Marquis of Jin who were willing to go out of the city to have fun dared to chop it up just to rob the money.
Being a businessman is extremely risky. It’s okay to be a near city, but some villagers in the countryside are not so honest. They are all soldiers on weekdays, so who has never seen anyone kill?
Shigong Tai once concluded that as long as it is profitable, the teenagers in the countryside can do the following things: killing people and burying corpses, blocking roads and robbing, robbing graves, privately minting coins, embezzling and occupying, chasing and plundering, not avoiding the law, and making fakes...
At this time, rural autonomy far away from the city is not pastoral pastoral music. The countryside is fierce and the grassroots control is weak, and the places far away from the city are completely chaotic and disorderly freedom.
The city Jiatong was born in Taoyi, which was originally a place where merchants gathered and also where Tao Zhugong became a fortune. The merchants were very popular, and he knew many business methods and risks.
In addition to risks, there are also customs and habits everywhere.
In the book "Biography of Merchants and Breedings", Shigong Tai once said: There is no big merchant in the land of Chu and Yue, because there is no winter in Chu and Yue, and the atmosphere there is no way to accumulate. There are fish and shrimps everywhere, and there are fruits on the trees. You can eat enough by slashing and fire and picking fruits. Therefore, it is difficult to develop without changing the atmosphere. It is not at all inconsistent to replace Chu Yue with the Black Africa that you know.
Taoyi and other places north of the Si River often suffer from floods and droughts, but the land is fertile and the population is large, and the four seasons are distinct, so people know that they can accumulate and there is a trend of getting rich through business.
According to the summary of Shigong Tai, Wu and Yue were not rich in business; Qin and Jin were good at agriculture; Zhao people were more speculative; Zhongshan countries liked gambling and selling arts to steal graves; Qi people were more rural and unwilling to leave their hometowns; Lu usually seemed to have the legacy of Zhongni and was the most etiquette, but when it was profitable, they were more cruel than everywhere; there were many gentlemen near Shangqiu, generous, solemn and stupid, and rarely deceived people.
As time goes by, many places are not the same as later generations, but they are always similar to the current trend.
It is not easy to transport cattle and horses to the north.
But it was not easy, so I still had to do it. I asked in a while: "Since I have decided, are you going to start doing it?"
"There are two things to do. First, the purpose of the gathering of Mozhes this time is a major event, and it must be done after the completion of this matter. The importance must be distinguished. Second, I think the Emperor of Sicheng has decided, and the matter of Peidi has been determined, but it is necessary to obtain the bamboo deed before deciding. Otherwise, the Mozhes can go to Luoyang and Linzi and other places by themselves to accumulate money and do righteousness."
The city Jiatong nodded and said, "In this way, I will go to see the sir first and tell me the way to make the sir decide. Follow me to get five kilograms of gold, buy some wheat, and hire people from the village to grind out the wheat first."
The two of them had a good time, so they followed Jia Tong in the city and returned to Mozhe's thatched house and waited for a while.
When Jia Teng of Shi went to see Mo Zi, he returned soon after, took out five taels of gold, and wrote down on a bamboo slip, jokingly said, "This is not what you, the secretary, want me to remember this number."
Shi also smiled and said, "Not many people can recognize the words I wrote now. If you write more or less, just rely on your faith in your heart, that's not possible."
The city Jiatong handed over the gold and said, "Sir, I agree, and I will do it in ten days. The sir also asked me to tell you that I would add one more thing to discuss with the emperor of Sicheng. The people from that village and community moved with us to Peidi, and were all people who taught the land. Those children who had learned from you who had the ninth grade stayed in Shangqiu and helped the tofu and wheat flour shops in Shangqiu first."
"The people who teach the land will move with the land. This is a trivial matter, and everyone is used to it, so you don't have to care. The Emperor of Sicheng has asked me to do it, and the Mo family does not have to follow too many unreasonable rules when doing things, and no one dares to say it. If you are not Mo, the matter of giving the land privately is enough for you to get a whip."
Shi nodded in agreement, thinking that this method was excellent, and his thinking was somewhat fixed, and he didn't expect this.
The village community he lives in is a village community with a land-based system. People in the village community can be moved elsewhere. When countries capture cities, they often move residents in the city. This kind of compulsory behavior is everywhere, but he was a little surprised.
Later, after the rise of the Three Jin Dynasties, in order to avoid Han Wei Fengmang, the State of Song held a major migration and almost gave up Shangqiu City and moved everyone nearby to Pengcheng. Now this village is a step ahead.
Now that things have been settled, he is going to grind the powder and discuss the migration with the villagers.
…………
In Shangqiu City, the story of wheat flour and tofu has spread throughout the city, and those merchants with a keen sense of smell have gathered here.
Shangqiu is not Taoyi, but it is also a big city, bringing together many merchants.
At this time, the great merchants had a high status and all nobles had to win over them.
Not to mention the businessmen who were prime ministers like Lu Buwei in later generations, even the Zhou emperor was forced to build a debt by the merchants to hide on them. It was far from the time when the merchants were suppressed by the imperial power and could not raise their heads.
These merchants seek profit, and their sense of profit is no less than that of flies who smell carrion.
The day after the meal, the mummies' house was almost squeezed out by the merchants, and they all wanted to come and see these things.
The muskie is a handicraft. Although she is not afraid of being alive, she has never seen such a scene.
Fortunately, Jia Tong and Shi were in charge, and there was a can of snow-like wheat flour in front of him.
Shi's sister-in-law secretly pinched Shi and said, "You are a man who invites you Mozhe to dinner. You eat yellow and black wheat flour. How can you sell it to a merchant but it's so white? It's a joke!"
Shi chuckled and whispered: "This cannot be eaten. If you add talc powder to it, it will be white and it will not taste good. It is for people to see, not for people to eat."
My sister-in-law gave him a blank look and said that she had so many eyes, she had never seen her before.
Several businessmen from Luoyang squeezed in, looked at the can of snow-white wheat flour, and even praised it. When they saw that Shi Jiatong was also beside him, they thought to themselves: "It is difficult to make money from this person."
There are many wealthy and noble families in Dayi, Luoyang, and the wheat flour is sold there to make profits. Although it is not easy to transfer luck, it will definitely be rewarded if you transfer luck.
When Jia Tong looked at these merchants, he thought about the things he had just talked to him, and thought that there were not many foreign merchants here, but if that method was available, it could be used directly in other cities.
When the merchants saw such wheat flour, they had already become tempted and quickly asked whether to sell it.
Shi Jiatong shook his head and said, "It's unknown."
The merchant thought, if you sell, you sell, if you don’t sell, you don’t sell. This is not a debate between you Mohists, so what is unknown?
But I don’t know that what Jia Tong in the city is telling the truth. Before we decide on the matter of Peidi, it is indeed unknown whether to sell fish or fish.
Shi said, "I won't say whether it is sold or not. This food must be delicious, but it's not just jade, as long as it looks good. Since you are here today, please try it the next day. Come again the next day, please run around to tell the foreign merchants and come together."
When the merchant heard this, he realized that he would still sell it, otherwise why should he invite the rest of the merchants?
They thought it was true that they were eating this wheat flour. It would take them until they could find out whether it was delicious. So they dissipated first and thought about how to taste the taste in the future.
After several waves of people, the small Shangqiu City merchants learned the news and asked for profit.
We need to prepare the taste of these people, and we can't be busy alone. Fortunately, there is an organization and there are many people to do, so we invite some people to help.
It's exactly:
Ding Ding Dangdang, and the righteousness came into the kitchen. No millet or millet were seen, but the snow was powder and white.
Buy pottery basins in the east of the city and grease in the west of the city. Mo Zhai personally handles the axe and cuts the rolling pin.
The surface is heat-swelled and sour, and wood ash is added. The acid and alkali are aversion to both sides, saving time-output of the pores.
The surface of the chopsticks is like a flower, and the red dates are contained as stamens. The single peak is rubbed with rough hands, and only a little red.
The rolled noodles are as big as a bucket, and the cold sword is horizontal and cut. They are as wide as a belt around the waist, and they are as long as a silk thread of a noble girl.
I supported my large pottery cauldron and ginger broth. At this time, there was no Qin Hui, so I was named after the fried dough sticks.
Powdered lamb, turn the dough into round hands. Put your hands together and lightly close it, and put it in the soup like a floating goose.
There is no pot and cabbage in Qinchuan, and there is no cooking cake in Yuncheng. If you don’t drink noodles in Sanjin, let alone the taste will be sour.
Chapter completed!
