Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 208 How to expand the advantage infinitely

"What about the people in He Song Town? What if the item you want to buy can't be bought in the town?" Gu Qi asked again.

"Then it's natural to go to the county seat or the county mansion." Li Shanfu was a little confused when asked.For a moment, he didn't know what Gu Qi meant, and even the rhythm of the conversation had already been taken away by Gu Qi before he knew it.

Gu Qi smiled slightly: "The people in Shiliba Village are used to going to the town on weekdays, because the town is more lively and there are many shops and things. The people in the town like to go to the county town or county town when they have time. The same reason is because of the shops in the county town. More and more hilarious.

What if the situation is reversed one day?

Our Xiaoqi Village has more shops than the town, more complete things, more convenient, and more lively.

Uncle Shan Fu, do you think that the people in eight villages and even the town would prefer to come to Xiaoqi Village in turn? "

"how can that be?!"

Gu Qi's words made Li Shanfu feel absurd, and he blurted out his retort without even thinking about it.

Gu Qi was not angry either, he just looked at Li Shanfu with a more serious expression:

"Does Shantou think it's impossible for my shop to be more and more lively in the future? Or do you think it's impossible for the people in the town to go to the countryside and villages to join in the fun?"

"This"

Both scenarios seemed possible, and neither seemed possible.When Li Shanfu was asked, he didn't know how to speak.

"Uncle Shanfu, through the ages and dynasties, nothing can remain the same.

In the early days of the founding of the former dynasty, the emperor lifted the sea ban.However, in just five or six years, several small fringe cities along the southeast coast have become rich places where countless Central Plains areas are nothing but opportunities.

What's more, those small fishing villages in the wilderness that were previously unknown and could only rely on fishing to feed themselves have suddenly become places where maritime trade gathers, and their bustling and prosperous level is even higher than that of Jiangling County.Uncle Shantou know why? "
-
Seeing that Li Shanfu was pensive and silent, Gu Qi smiled and continued: "The matter of the previous dynasty is far away, so I won't mention it much. Just talk about this dynasty.

After the founding of the country, the dynasty has maintained an open trade with Xijiang. There are many caravans between the two countries, and at the same time, it has also driven the small border town of Xitang County, which was originally located on the border of Xijiang.

Uncle Shanfu knows that the predecessor of Xitang County was just a Xitang Village with a population of only a few dozen households.

That place is barren, lacks water and is often sandy, and there is not much land that can be cultivated. Before and at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the local people could only rely on nomadic herding for a living.

However, that place lacks water all the year round, and only in the late spring and early summer is there sufficient rain, and the vegetation is strong, and the time suitable for herding cattle and sheep is only less than three months.When autumn comes, the extremely cold and harsh weather is accompanied by wind and sand that is often hard to find, making the local people often hungry and struggling to survive.

It wasn't until the founding of the dynasty that peace agreements were signed with all the countries in the western borders, and trade exchanges were opened, so that the originally insignificant little Xitang village became the only place for caravans from the western regions to enter Dakang.

Later, with the entry of Xizhou County, a large number of military households moved in, and the original Xitang Village became Xitang Village.

Later, as more and more caravans came and went, so did the local shops and inns, and Xitang Town became Xitang County again, and Xitang County became the richest county in the entire western border.

And this change only took ten years. "

Gu Qi took a sip of his tea, with a calm expression, but a solemn tone: "Uncle Shan Fu, the current situation is changing rapidly, and any change in one thing can lead to earth-shaking changes in a place.

The same is true of the coastal fish villages in the southeast, and the same is true of Xitang Village in western Xinjiang.Why can't we in Xiaoqi Village? "
-
Why can't we in Xiaoqi Village? !
Why? !
Li Shanfu sucked in a breath of cold air, only to feel that his whole body was churning with blood.

An indescribable passion flooded his head, making Li Shanfu unable to utter a single word at this moment, only staring at Gu Qi in shock and incomprehensible meaning.

Gu Qi put down the cold tea in his hand and smiled lightly.The line of sight fell on the group of shops that had just taken shape not far away:

"In fact, compared with the original hardships in Xitang County, our Yunzhou Prefecture has many rivers and well-developed water transport, and has always been prosperous. Not to mention, there are two ferries just outside He Song Town.

As far as these two ferries are concerned, the number of merchants who load and unload goods every day is innumerable.Not to mention, the official road outside our Xiaoqi Village is four or five miles ahead and we will reach the main road connecting the north and the south.It is the only way for caravans traveling from south to north.

In the past, our Xiaoqi Village had nothing but farmers and fertile land, and these merchants could only drive to Hesong Town to buy food and deliver goods when they passed by.

But if one day, our Xiaoqi Village has an inn, a shopping mall, as many and complete shops as He Song Town, and a street full of food, drink and entertainment.It is even possible to prepare food and grass for these overnight merchants and provide the necessary supplies for long distances.

Do you think these merchants will give priority to Xiaoqi Village, which is only a few steps away from the main official road, or Hesong Town, which takes half an hour to reach? "
-
Li Shanfu was already dumbfounded at this time, and Zhou Yu, who followed Zhou Li to join in the fun, was also dumbfounded. By the way, he wanted to confirm with Gu Qi about the matter of cooperating to open a restaurant.

Zhou Yu used to only think that Gu Qi's way of doing business is different from others, and that his strength is not strong, but he wins because he has many new tricks.It probably depends on some cleverness and good luck to get to where I am today.

And these little cleverness and good luck are enough to support Gu Qi to open a business in Xiaoqi Village or open a restaurant with him in Lingjiang County in partnership to earn a little money for eating and drinking.

If it is said that Gu Qi will be able to expand the territory like his elder brother or other men in the future, and spread the business to the entire county or even further, Zhou Yu does not believe it at all.

No matter how powerful Gu Qi is, she is only a woman!Even though she has some skills and even some courage, her birth determines that her insight and courage are not enough to be like his elder brother, no matter how many businesses she has in her hands, she can be handy and strategize.

But today, after hearing what Gu Qi just said, Zhou Yu realized that his previous cognition might be wrong, or even superficial and ignorant.

Even though Zhou Yu felt that he was not suitable for doing business, at this moment he understood that Gu Qi was precisely pinching the geographical advantage of Xiaoqi Village, and planned to expand this advantage infinitely, and even wanted to make the original He Song Town a unique village. Some advantages are completely taken over.

Such thoughtfulness and courage made Zhou Yu feel strangely for a moment that if someone gave Gu Qi a long enough pole at this moment, she would dare to pierce the sky.

*
Of course, if it is said that the person with the most calm and composed face at this time is Zhou Li who has participated in the planning of the Banpo map from the beginning, and has already been involved in this business invisibly.
