I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 750, The Price of Cabbage
"No, if you really do this, the price of sandalwood will hit the floor price, and then you won't be able to sell it at a high price!" Zhen said anxiously after hearing this.

He was really worried that Chen Baoguo would do this, just like what Chen Baoguo said, sandalwood is a precious wood in Daqian, but it is nothing in Nanzhong!Not to mention that there are everywhere in the mountains and plains, but there are so many that everyone in Dagan can make a set of furniture.

"You vulgar warriors don't know how to buy and sell at all. Hetian jade was famous all over the world back then. Its price was comparable to gold. There is a saying that it is rare to get jade with a thousand pieces of gold. It has been a symbol of a gentleman for thousands of years.

But Wang Dang is such a reckless man, and it’s fine if he is in power to let him guard the Western Regions. As a result, he brings thousands of cars of jade to Jidu every year, and directly hits the price of jade to the floor price. Now children in Jidu can afford it. Wearing expensive Hetian jade, so that rich people in Jidu can only wear jade from Nanzhong to show their status! "

"If Wang Dang has the ability to govern, he won't be unable to make money by guarding such a vast territory in the Western Regions. There is also Bao Xin's sugarcane plantation in Yizhou, and the continuous expansion of production is nothing! The brown sugar that is now in full swing The price has been reduced by more than ten times, and this is because we continue to sell brown sugar to Tianzhu and Tianfang to maintain this price, and now he needs more than ten times more varieties of fields to keep the price the same as before!"

Speaking of these, Zhen Xing is heartbroken. Daqian originally had a lot of luxury goods, but because of the expanded production of Dagan officials, the price has been reduced by tens or hundreds of times, turning good high-end luxury goods into ordinary commodities!Such as brown sugar, whale oil, precious spices, jade, cotton cloth, Shu brocade, etc. Shu brocade is obviously a high-end luxury item that can only be worn by princes and nobles, and now even the craftsmen can wear it on holidays.It can be said that every time a luxury product is marked down to a floor price, it is a huge blow to businessmen like them.

So now Zhenxing and the others can only find a way to sell Dagan's goods by sea to places other than Dagan, because only in these places can the high price be paid.

Chen Baoguo shook his head and said, "This is not the same. If the price of brown sugar hadn't dropped, ordinary people would be able to eat brown sugar! The ruling party has said that this is a great thing for the benefit of the people, and the same is true for whale oil. The court can't just think about profits. , but also think about the people. If you are like you profiteers who only care about profits, the people in the world don't know how much suffering they will suffer, so the government has always told us that we should not only use you to benefit the people, but also guard against you Harm the people!"

When Zhen Xing heard this, he laughed awkwardly: "We merchants don't have the ability to harm the world. The ones who can really harm the world are those elites. We are just making a little money under the protection of the ruling party!"

Chen Baoguo said with a smile: "You have hundreds of transport ships in this fleet, and this is a small amount of money. With the profit of sea transportation, I'm afraid you will earn hundreds of millions of dollars this trip!"

Zhen Xing didn't answer, but said with a smile: "To earn some hard money, we lost a lot when we went to Tianzhu, and now we can only say that we are still in the stage of getting back our money!"

Chen Baoguo asked: "What is the situation of Liu Bei in Tianzhu? The news came that Liu Bei was invincible in Tianzhu?"

Zhen Xing thought for a while and said, "That's because the Tianzhu people didn't fight well, so Liu Bei easily defeated them."

Thinking of Dagan sending people to occupy the Sinhala Kingdom, Zhen Xing asked in a low voice: "What is the imperial court thinking? Now, is it trying to get rid of Liu Bei so that Tianzhu can be monopolized?"

Chen Baoguo said: "I don't know what the imperial court thinks, but they definitely don't want to see Liu Bei dominate Tianzhu! So don't just sell goods, but also find ways to find out Liu Bei's movements, so that the imperial court can understand the situation in Tianzhu! "

Zhen Xing said: "Liu Bei is still far from dominating Tianzhu. Although Tianzhu's strength is weak, there are also powerful countries. What Liu Bei can rely on is the 10,000+ Han people who have taken refuge in him! It is difficult for Liu Bei to conquer tens of millions of Tianzhu people!"

After Zhen Xing and Chen Baoguo talked about the situation in Tianzhu, he bought a lot of red sandalwood and other local specialty products in Xihai City, and the Tianzhu beauties he brought himself were also bought by Xihai City.

After the caravan rested in Xihai City for three days, Zhen Xing left with the fleet.

After entering the South China Sea, the safety of the fleet has increased by more than ten times, and everyone does not have to gather together to ensure their own safety. In addition, their goods cannot be swallowed by one family, and everyone has their own buyers.Therefore, after the fleet had been marching for a few days, the fleet continued to separate, and soon divided into dozens of groups, and each continued to move towards its own goal!
And Zhen Xing came to Luzon Island with his five seagoing ships.

Because there are copper mines on the island, Luzon Island is the wealthiest among the islands in the South China Sea, and Li Aimin and the others have the strongest ability to pay, and Zhen Xing and Li Aimin have friendship, so other caravans did not compete with Zhen Xing for territory .

After the fleet entered the Luzon pier, Zhen Xing begged to see Li Aimin!
Seeing Li Aimin, Zhen Xing smiled and said, "Luzon City has developed really fast, and it has completely changed in just half a year."

Zhen Xing came to Luzon City half a year ago to buy goods. Luzon City only had a civilized look at the wharf and the mining area, but this time when Zhen Xing came to Luzon, he found that the area of ​​the fields outside the city had more than doubled, and the living area in the city had more than doubled. The area has also expanded a lot.

Li Aimin said with a smile: "When there are more people who come to travel, it will naturally be prosperous. We have opened up the mining area to attract other businessmen to invest and build factories. In the past half a year alone, there have been 3 more people. When there are more people, it will naturally be lively. !"

Zhen Xing said loudly: "Why don't you leave a copy of such a good thing, this is a good business for printing money!"

Li Aimin smiled and said: "As long as you are willing to bring people over, I can also leave you a mine, but you have to think about it, now it is impossible for ordinary craftsmen to come to Luzon without 5000 coins, and craftsmen who know how to make cannons are even more likely to come to Luzon." With a salary of tens of thousands of dollars, if we can’t support it, it’s impossible for us to open such a lucrative business to you!”

"Then let's make an agreement, I will recruit craftsmen when I return to Jidu!" Zhen Xing said excitedly.

"How are the sales of those artillery?" After talking about the copper mine, Li Aimin became concerned about the issue of artillery sales. This is their pillar industry in Luzon. In the future, they will eat hot and spicy food, or eat dry and drink It all depends on artillery.

After Li Aimin's artillery factory was established, it could only produce some small 4-jin cannons. This kind of artillery has been completely eliminated by Dagan, and there is no market in Dagan. So now Li Aimin's only market is Liu Bei in Tianzhu. When buying goods, Li Aimin gave 10 cannons, trying to open up the market with Liu Bei.So now he is anxious to know the result.
