Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 906

In fact, when the Yunzhou border trade system was established, Guo Jia expected this day, because although business can prosper the local economy in a short period of time, this prosperity is also short-lived and will not become lasting.

After all, the essence of business is to transfer wealth from one party to another, and it cannot create wealth. Over time, crises will naturally arise.

To this end, Guo Jia has also formulated relevant measures.

In his plan, animal husbandry in Youzhou, agriculture in Jizhou and commerce in Yunzhou complement each other and form a virtuous circle.

Over time, when the industries in these two states develop, a virtuous circle can be formed in the whole of the north, and there is no need for external input.

Although the industries in Youzhou and Jizhou have been rising steadily in the past few years, after all, the time is too short, and they have not yet been able to grow to the point of a virtuous circle.

At this time, Yunzhou's border trade suddenly went wrong.

Border trade is Guo Jia's financial pillar, and the industrial development of Jizhou and Youzhou depends entirely on blood transfusions from this money bag.

Once this money bag is deflated, the industrial upgrading of Jizhou and Youzhou will also die from it.

Everything will be over!
Yunzhou will return to the past overnight.

How to find a new source of income for Yunzhou is Guo Jia's top priority.

Su Qinglian thought carefully for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Yes!"

Hearing what Su Qinglian said, Guo Jia suddenly became excited. He couldn't help hugging Su Qinglian with both hands, and said with a smile, "I knew that Qinglian had a solution. Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

Su Qinglian smiled slightly, with a rare blush on her face.

Although she is already close to Guo Jia, she is not used to such intimacy.

"The essence of business is trading, exchanging what we have for what the other party doesn't have. The more things the other party doesn't have, the higher the price we can sell. In other words, as long as we have things that others don't have and urgently need, we can be safe as before. For example, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is suitable for raising silkworms, so it can produce silk, so the silk can only be produced in the south of the Yangtze River. It is convenient to dry salt on the coast, so the salt can only be produced in the coast. Due to the lack of nomads, the border trade in Yunzhou has basically been abolished, so we To find a stable commodity channel, we can maintain the enduring business of Yunzhou."

Stable commodity channel?
Guo Jia frowned.

The most profitable industry in future generations is the monopoly industry, because only you have it and no one else has it, so how much to sell is naturally up to you.

It's a pity that Yunzhou is located in a remote place, and it seems that there are no unique specialties.

some!

Su Qinglian suddenly said: "There is something that other people don't have, and they will definitely be interested."

what?
Guo Jia asked puzzledly.

Su Qinglian said word by word: "Gunpowder!"

Indeed, the most powerful weapon in Yunzhou is the gunpowder weapon. After several years of war, the surrounding princes have tasted the power of Yunzhou firearms.

Once Yunzhou makes firearms into an industry, the supply will definitely exceed the demand.

Since it is a unique product, naturally there is no need to worry about the price.

Naturally, Yunzhou has found a way to make money.

firearm!

Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly shook his head again.

No!

This thing is not a simple commodity, but a weapon with mass destruction. The reason why Yunzhou is standing still is supported by gunpowder weapons. In several battles, firearms have been used to turn the world around.Once controlled by the surrounding princes, Yunzhou's military advantage will disappear.

Money is important, but some things cannot be sold.

This is fundamental.

"I know it myself!"

Su Qinglian shook her head helplessly.

She also knows the power of gunpowder, Guo Jia will definitely not sell this thing easily.

"Since this is the case, I will go back and think of a way to see if I can delay it. With our Su family's family background plus the Zhen family and the Mi family, maybe we can support it a little longer."

Su Qinglian said in a low voice.

However, the general trend of Yunzhou's commerce and trade is gone, and relying on the support of the three companies alone will not have much effect.

Wait!
Guo Jia suddenly grabbed Su Qinglian and said with a smile, "Although gunpowder cannot be sold, other things can be sold!"

something else?

Su Qinglian was stunned for a moment, she really didn't realize that there was something rarer than gunpowder in Yunzhou.

Ha ha!

Inspired by Su Qinglian, Guo Jiadeng had an idea.

"Actually, gunpowder is not the only thing unique to our Yunzhou. Your man can produce a lot at any time."

is it?

Su Qinglian looked at Guo Jia with interest.

If it is as Guo Jia said, Yunzhou's financial problem can be solved.

"Like what?"

Su Qing asked with a smile.

Guo Jia suddenly whispered something to the Tiger Guard soldier beside him, the soldier nodded slowly, then turned and left.

After a while, the man came in with a jug.

"Qing Lian has worked hard, come, let's have a drink."

Guo Jia smiled and took out the wine bar and filled it up.

You still have this thought!

Su Qinglian was angry and funny.

She shrugged and said, "I'm not in the mood, drink it yourself!"

Ever since she became the president, she has been busy, how can she have time to drink?

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and brought a glass of wine to Su Qinglian.

"Just one cup, just one cup, President Su won't even give you this face?"

Alright alright!
Su Qinglian shook her head helplessly, picked up the wine cup, covered it with her sleeve, and drank it slowly.

It's all about this, if she doesn't drink anymore, it will really disrespect Guo Jia.

As soon as the wine entered her throat, Su Qinglian couldn't help being surprised.

It's not that she hasn't drunk good wine before, but it's the first time she has tasted such a strong and mellow wine.

This……

Su Qinglian looked at the unremarkable wine jar in surprise.

After a long time, some of it was poured out again.

Good wine!

A look of excitement suddenly flashed across her face.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and with Su Qinglian's intelligence, she naturally understood what she meant.

The wine in this era is fermented with pure grains, so the alcohol content is relatively low, so there are only a thousand cups without getting drunk.

However, for medical disinfection, Guo Jia purified the alcohol. Although it cannot reach 100%, it can also effectively reduce the chance of wound infection.

After inventing alcohol purification, Guo Jia only used it in medical treatment, and did not use it as a tool to make a fortune. At that time, the border trade in Yunzhou was booming, and Guo Jia was not short of money.

Now that there is a problem in Yunzhou's business and trade, Guo Jia has no choice but to find a way for Yunzhou to make money, and high-purity alcohol has entered Guo Jia's eyes.

"Can this fine wine be mass-produced?"

Su Qinglian asked impatiently.

If this kind of high-purity wine can be produced, it will definitely be loved by the whole country, and it will naturally become a new source of income.

no problem!
Guo Jia said with a smile.

He can use the blending method of later generations to make alcohol by first making alcohol from foods that are easy to ferment, such as grains and fruits, and then blending the alcohol into grain wine.
