Chapter 724 Planning Must Go First ([-])

"Businessmen don't do business at a loss. The wool comes from sheep. The higher my cost, the higher the price. If I can't sell it, I won't produce it. But the Baijia army has tens of thousands of people from soldiers to military households. , will lose the source of cheap living materials, earn less than ordinary people, but have similar daily expenses, Mr. Qian, which side do you think has a more difficult life?"

"I know that business is difficult to do, but the discount you want, you have to wait for me to go back and do the math before I know how much discount I can give you." Bai Qing's momentum that had just gained the upper hand just now softened like water.

"Also, when I buy general goods from overseas merchant ships, I will be charged less tax."

"Hey, can this also be taxed?"

"Yes, refer to the products on Haishi Street in Dong'an Prefecture. They are so expensive that you can't wait for people to pay with gold for a little overseas spices. Except that these goods are indeed expensive to ship across the ocean, and then they are heavily taxed after landing. Merchant In order to return the cost and profit, it is natural to sell at several times or ten times the purchase price."

"...Is this the reason why the things in Haishi Street are so expensive?" Bai Qing and his assistants looked at each other in blank dismay, Cheng Feng and the others didn't know, it was reasonable, and Bai Qing didn't know, so he could only blame himself for not understanding.

"My lords are busy with business." Qi Ke nodded with a half-smile.

"I understand what you mean. I will write another regulation to classify the types of goods brought by overseas merchant ships. As long as the general goods related to people's livelihood are unloaded at our wharf in the bay, they will not be taxed heavily."

"Okay~" Qi Ke smiled obediently. For the sake of the raw materials for her textile factory next year, she must lay the groundwork here. Otherwise, she will be taxed heavily if she imports a shipment of cotton. Even if her factory can continue to produce, but The final fabric produced is estimated to be unaffordable for ordinary people.

"So, that's about it, right?"

"Well, it's almost there. These are all I can think of now. If there is anything unexpected, I can only find out when the construction actually starts."

"Where did you hear all this?"

"Of course I heard from the boatmen of Jiaji Shipping Company. Every time they come to eat at the inn, everyone gets to know each other well. When they have free time, they sit and chat together. There are many merchants on their boats, and there are many of them. It’s from Haishi Street in Dong’an Prefecture, and the story is passed on word of mouth, and it’s getting wider and wider.”

"If you hear such a story in the future, please share it with me."

"no problem."

"Okay, that's all for today. I'll take what we discussed back and discuss it with the general and other high-ranking generals. They are always stationed in Dong'an Mansion. Maybe they have better suggestions." Bai Qing checked what he wrote. The ink on the piece of paper was dry, and it was rolled together with the one written by Qi Ke into a loose paper tube.

"Okay." The suggestion has been given, and the rest is to do everything according to the destiny, and Qi Ke has to wait patiently for the news, whether it will be successful or not is no longer up to her to decide.

Everyone had to reflect on their future money-making plans, and it was getting late, so they stopped sitting for a long time and got up to leave.

Qi Ke sees off the guests, and sends them straight out of Zhuangzi's gate.

"Okay, now it's our turn, let's see how much silver we have now?"

Qi Ke and Zhaolin returned to the hall of the Houzhai, and today they got the several thousand mu of land promised by Bai Qing, and they will start a big construction next year, so she has to do a good job of calculating her available funds.
