I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104, Hu Hansan is back!
Xu Wei was speechless.

The Zhen family is worthy of being a wealthy businessman from a noble family, and they dare not say it in other places. In this northern Xinjiang, it can be said that they cover the sky with one hand, and they say that black is white.

All the powerful and noble families are big moths, there are so many big moths in the world, no matter how rich the family property of a big man is, they will eat up all of them.

However, Xu Wei thought that he was a traitor, and he seemed to have no reason to blame these moths for the Han court. After all, the actions of these people were of great benefit to his career.

Zhen An continued to ask: "Shuai Qu, I brought this food for you. Is the cloth I want ready?"

Xu Wei said with a smile: "It has been prepared a long time ago! Now the textile factory in Mayi can weave 4 pieces of this kind of woolen cloth every month, and it only takes two and a half months for 10 pieces! I have reserved 6 10 pieces of cloth, the shopkeeper can get the [-] pieces of cloth after waiting another month."

Zhen An anxiously said: "This is too little, and 10 horses in Jizhou alone are not enough. Can Qu Shuai think of ways to increase production capacity?"

Just kidding, wool cloth is finer, thicker and warmer than silk, and it is easy to double or triple the sales in Jizhou.If Ma Yi delays here for two or three months, and other people sell the wool cloth to Jizhou, then he will not be able to do a unique business. Based on his years of business experience, the first batch of rags to Jizhou will be the most profitable. After a long time, I can only pick up some leftovers.

Xu Wei said helplessly: "I also want to increase production capacity, but there are only more than 3000 looms in Mayi. If you want to increase it, you must have looms. I am already thinking of a way. The craftsmen in Mayi work every day In the process of manufacturing new looms, there will be 2000 more looms in one month, and there will be more and more in the future, the shopkeeper can wait for a while with peace of mind!"

Zhen An said: "There are too few looms. Why are there only 3000 looms? It would be great if there were 3 looms! Jizhou has hundreds of thousands of looms, but it's a pity that Jizhou has no wool!"

Then Zhen An thought of something and said excitedly: "Shuai Qu, our Zhen family will help you buy looms, and I just ask you to give 10 pieces of woolen cloth every month."

Xu Wei said: "It depends on the output, but since the shopkeeper helped me come up with such a good method, I can assure the shopkeeper that [-]% of Mayi's wool cloth can be handed over to the Zhen family, as long as your Zhen family can eat it and buy it." The method is the same as before, I don’t need money, the shopkeeper wants to transport the goods used by Mayi, and the shopkeeper wants to increase the production of woolen cloth, so you can get a loom!”

Zhen An reminded Xu Wei that Mayi can purchase textile machines, and does not need to be completely self-sufficient. The textile machines in this era are not high-tech products. A loom!You can use some second-hand goods first to burst production capacity.

Hearing this, Zhen An smiled confidently: "My old man first ordered 10 woolen cloth, and the bill will still be paid with grain! My only request is that Qu Shuai wants to build a grain warehouse in Wuzhou, and our Zhen family is only responsible for transporting the grain. When you arrive in Wuzhou, when Wuzhou arrives in Mayi, Qu Shuai will be in charge!"

With the Yellow River waterway, it doesn’t cost much to transport grain to Pianguan, but from Pianguan Road to Mayi, it has to go all the way across mountains and ridges. Zhen An wants to save time, so he wants to put the transfer point in Wuzhou, which is cheaper than going to Mayi half the way.

Xu Wei said: "Yes!"

At worst, he built the rail carriages in Daowuzhou in advance, and the rail carriages were more than ten times the load of half of the carriages. Zhen An's grain of thousands of carriages, if using rail carriages, he would use dozens of them at most!
When Xu Wei said this, Zhen An immediately gained motivation. This year, the price of grain in Jizhou has dropped to the lowest level in decades. Turning hands is several times the profit.

It’s just that he thinks that if he can get through the commercial route of Yanmen Pass, enter Taiyuan County from Jingjing, pass through Yanmen Pass and arrive at Mayi, where Jizhou’s grain can come in just ten days, this will not only save freight, but also save time. The difficult part is how to get the guards at Yanmen Pass to let their caravans leave.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhen An felt that the problem was not a big one, it was just a matter of transferring one of his own people to be the guard of Yanmen Gate!The Zhen family does not have such a big snobbery that can affect the transfer of generals in Bingzhou, but the nobles in Jizhou have this ability, not to mention that Cui Lie is still Situ, and the nobles who want to come to Jizhou will help him.

Since Fu Bian's death, Wang Fen has become the governor of Jizhou. He is a member of the noble family, so when he took office, he didn't go to Zhang Yan first to trouble Zhang Yan as ordered by Emperor Ling.

Instead, he first returned all the land of the powerful and noble families in Jizhou to them. Wang Fen's behavior made the entire scholarly community praise him, and he deserves to be one of the eight famous chefs in the world.

It’s just that the common people suffered. After these elites got their land, they not only drove away the common people on their own land, leaving only a small part to help them farm, but also robbed the grain from the common people, saying that it was last year’s rent. Money, exactly like Hu Hansan came back, took mine and returned it, and ate mine and spit it out for me.

If the common people dared to make trouble, Wang Fen would lead Jizhou's county soldiers to suppress the common people. So Wang Fen took office for a month, the whole Jizhou cried loudly, and a large number of people's homes were destroyed. Yan Ze was overjoyed to find that her strength had more than doubled, especially that most of the refugees who took refuge this time were young and strong.

Of course, even after taking back their own land, the elites in Jizhou still felt that they had lost a lot.

A large number of rich and powerful families with hairpin tassels for many generations have been wiped out, and the scene of the past is completely gone. The chaos of horns caused them to lose tens of billions of money.

And this is why they treat the people so viciously. They are eager to recover, but they have nothing in their hands except the food they just robbed the people.

And Zhen An wanted to take advantage of these aristocrats who were eager to restore their family business. Now the grain in Jizhou could not be sold at a high price, and they could buy unlimited grain.

There is also a shortage of food in other places in the Han Dynasty, but those refugees have no money at all, so naturally they cannot afford to buy food, so they are not in the eyes of the powerful and nobles.

Now selling food is not the business of his Zhen family, but the business of the entire Jizhou clan. In this way, it is not difficult to replace one of his own people as the guard of Yanmen Gate.

The more Zhen An thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
