Poor family mother and son

Chapter 472

Daxuan's "Imperial Merchant" should be called "Imperial Supplies Supplier", which is an honorary title given by the emperor to win over some wealthy and powerless families for his own use.

It is similar to Chu Qing's "special offer" in that world, but the purpose is different.

The emperor hoped to elevate the identities of some merchants through the title of "special supply", and give them some advantages of industry monopoly, in an attempt to differentiate them from other aristocratic families.

The Meng family in the south of the Yangtze River specially provided sesame oil to the royal family and silk for the emperor's rewards, which guaranteed the Meng family's "drought and flood harvest" in these two items.

However, they did not form any opposition to the Jiangnan family, but joined hands with the family to seek greater benefits.

"You don't have to think about this," Meng Chun raised his hand, motioning his son to sit down: "It doesn't matter if our family is an imperial merchant or not, it's just a name;

I thought that when the first emperor passed away, our new emperor would replace us with someone else, but no;

Do you know why Xindi didn't revoke our title?Because he wants me to fight against the noble family, hum;
This royal businessman can be inappropriate, how can it be opposed?
What are we asking for?What we seek is to prosper ourselves. How can we prosper without the cooperation of others?

We form a group with the major families, that is not a small force..."

Speaking of this, Meng Chun clenched his fist to express "hug into a ball", and at the same time glanced at the door and window, um, it was closed tightly, so he leaned slightly towards Meng Xiansheng, raised his fist, and said in a low voice : "Does the emperor dare to kill our big group? He doesn't dare! Kill this group, and he has to finish the game!"

Yes, the economy is the engine of a country. If the engine is smashed, how can the country be good?
Meng Chun continued: "Don't worry, others won't compete with us for the qualification of the imperial merchant, and it's no good! The price offered by the royal family is pitifully low, and those eunuchs have earned it!"

Meng Xiansheng agreed with most of what his father said, but there were some who disagreed: "But, father, without this name, we have no reason to buy all the sesame seeds and cocoons at a low price, so our cost is..."

The Meng family's way of monopolizing the sesame oil and silk markets is very dishonest.

First of all, they purchased all the sesame seeds and silkworm cocoons in the area in large quantities according to the prices at that time. This method regardless of cost greatly increased the number of growers and silkworm farmers, and sold them all the goods, resulting in a monopoly of raw materials.

Then, except for the part used by the royal family, they wholesale or retail the rest of the raw materials to his downstream merchants without any price increase.

In this way, they monopolized all the merchants who needed these raw materials in just two years.

But can they just work hard and not make money?Of course it can't.

Two years later, the Meng family said to those growers and silkworm farmers: "I have made a lot of money in the past two years, right? Do you know why you made so much money?

That's because I bought all your things to keep you fed and warm, but can I use up all of them?Can't run out!

So I still have to help you guys find a way to sell them, and I don't make any money!
Also, the emperor ate the sesame oil you planted and said it was delicious, and wore the silkworm clothes you raised and said it was easy to wear. So, are you willing to accept the emperor's old money?

However, I also have to support my family. I can’t help you with labor and freight for nothing. That would be a real loss of money;
If you still want to continue to do this, then give me space for labor and freight, and I will help you sell your goods. "

When the common people heard that their products were for the emperor to eat and wear, they felt proud, and they all said that the emperor's attention to their things was the blessing of several lifetimes of cultivation.

If the Meng family can send their blood and sweat to the emperor, they will naturally cooperate with the Meng family.

Besides, if the Meng family doesn't accept their goods, no one else will.

There used to be, but the Meng family didn't lower the price and just accepted it. They cut off all other sources of income.

As a result, the Meng family controlled the bidding power, and these people had no choice but to lower their prices.If you can drop it once, you can drop it several times.

While the Meng family keeps reducing costs, they only need to keep up with the market prices of these two commodities to make a lot of money.Even because of monopoly, there is no competition in the area where the plantation is located.

So Meng Xiansheng would be worried that if the common people knew that their goods would no longer be provided to the emperor, they would not be reconciled to the Meng family at such a low price. Even if the price was not raised, who would they sell to?

Meng Chun shook his hand and interrupted his son: "I said, you don't have to worry about this.

We have already had a hard time earning this sesame oil money, you know, that Chuqing, she used soybean oil and peanut oil to lower the price of our sesame oil run;
How much kickback did the old eunuch from the purchasing department take from our family?You still have to show me some flirtatiousness, if you want me to spend money to honor him, you still have to accept his love!
Also, our family is also responsible for the silk used for royal rewards, how much can there be?The quantity is not large, but there are many varieties. How much profit can we make?

That's clear, how much will our silk be squeezed out by using cotton, cotton and linen blends, and cotton wool blends?

Not only has the silk rewarded by the royal family decreased, but even the sales of our family's cloth shops in various places have dropped sharply!

So, you don't need to worry about these, the big deal is that we will not be the emperor, whoever loves to be the one!
The emperor wants to take this little bit of fame, so let us fight against those famous families for him, ha ha, who is more stupid than the other?
Although our family does not have the good reputation of those famous families, we are also a family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years!

Just wait, as long as the emperor reveals his intention to remove our imperial business, we don't have to hide it, we will reveal our ambitions, and you will take part in the scientific research right away!
I have confidence in you, as long as you stand out, our family can also become famous! "

As a veteran businessman for more than a hundred years, the wealth background of the Meng family is not bad. Compared with the famous family, it just has a stronger "copper smell".

In recent years, Meng Chun has made two preparations for the family: one hand is for his son to study, and he is ready for the imperial examination at any time;

I still don't believe it, what can I do if I am not an imperial merchant?

Meng Xiansheng felt that what his father said was reasonable, so he nodded, but he immediately asked again: "That Chuqing's child?"

Meng Chun gritted his teeth: "You can't keep him! But don't touch him, just observe. The mother and son were not killed before, and now they are in Songjiang Mansion, let alone move. As long as something happens to them here, others will come first." Time will doubt us."

Meng Xiansheng said: "Didn't no one know that we did the interception and killing in the past?"

Meng Chun glanced at him: "Do you believe what you say?"

Meng Xiansheng fell silent.

I don't believe it.

It's not that no one knows, it's that no one can prove it.

Chu Qing himself did not provide evidence, and all the people he sent were dead. Without evidence, the gang of Donglun bandits would not admit to this matter.

But without evidence, it doesn't mean that Chu Qing doesn't know.

Meng Chun finally said: "Let's watch it first, find something for them to do, for example, if the college can't continue, run them away, as long as they leave Songjiang Mansion..."
