Water Margin farming to become powerful

In the spring of the seventh year when Sun Xin came to the Great Song Dynasty, the first major event of the Supervisory Committee was to expand the trade with the Kingdom of Jin in a mighty way.

Now that the Kingdom of Jin has occupied many ports near the Bohai Sea, there is no need to re-export from North Korea for foreign trade as before.

After Deng Fei went north from Dengzhou to the Kingdom of Jin, the first big trick he carried out was to spread the news that the Supervisory Committee would export ironware to the Kingdom of Jin on a large scale in the market.

At this moment, the merchants in the entire Kingdom of Jin were quite shocked.

The biggest problem that the Kingdom of Jin faced during the successive years of battles was the lack of iron.

At the beginning, when the Jin people fought against Liao, they relied on a small group of troops to harass the border cities of Liao, so this problem was not too serious. However, as Jin occupied more and more places, Jin’s It is inevitable that the army will have a regular army-level conflict with the Liao State. At this time, the problem of the lack of iron in the Jin State gradually emerged.

Especially after the Kingdom of Jin occupied Huanglong Mansion and Ningjiang Prefecture, the encirclement and suppression by several large soldiers from the Kingdom of Liao became more and more apparent that the frontline troops of the Kingdom of Jin were in short supply of iron.

The iron smelting industry of the Liao Kingdom is quite developed. Since the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, there has never been a shortage of heavy armor on the front line of the Liao and Jin Dynasties.If you want to break armor, you need to use more metal, whether you use bones or heavy arrows.

Now Jin’s ironware is mainly imported from the Song Dynasty and North Korea. The two places, either out of diplomatic considerations or wanting to make profits, imposed various restrictions on the export of Jin’s country, and taxed them quite a lot. We also support this.

The Kingdom of Jin's demand for ironware is rigid. No matter how much the two countries tax the export of ironware, or how high the price of ironware on the market is, they are not allowed to buy it.

Therefore, for businessmen, as long as the country restricts foreign exports, the price of iron on the market in Jin Country will naturally rise, and the profits they earn by transporting samples of iron to Jin Country will be higher.

The demand for ironware in the Kingdom of Jin is no longer just selling iron. For ordinary people, there are restrictions on how many iron pots they can have. Degree.

Some of the arrows shot out cannot be retrieved. They are just for harassing the other party when shooting iron arrows. It is a bit uneconomical when the price of iron is so expensive. They will tend to use bone or bamboo wood arrows, but This kind of arrow can only be said to pay attention to a momentum.

Bamboo and wood arrowheads can be used for hunting, but if they hit armored places on the battlefield, they may not even be able to penetrate leather armor.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty and North Korea made a lot of money selling ironware in the Kingdom of Jin, so when Deng Fei returned to the Kingdom of Jin and directly released the news on the market, saying that the supervisory committee would send a large number of ironware to the Kingdom of Jin for sale, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. These businessmen were very dissatisfied.

The Supervisory Committee is also a big seller of ironware to the Kingdom of Jin. No one understands why they would cut off their money so much.

And even if the Supervisory Committee wants to sell more ironware to the Kingdom of Jin, wouldn't it be enough to do it quietly?As soon as Deng Fei let out his words, the result would definitely be a sharp drop in the market price.

And just as these traders from North Korea and the Great Song Dynasty were worried, shortly after Deng Fei released the news through channels, the price of iron in the Kingdom of Jin began to plummet.

And at this time, Deng Fei's second step of operation immediately made all these popularity come together.

They actually started cutting prices.

At this time, other businessmen finally understood what Deng Fei wanted to do. When transporting ironware from North Korea in the Song Dynasty, all kinds of checkpoints encountered on the road were paid for. The cost of bribing officials was included in their prices. It accounts for a lot of proportion, and the administrative efficiency of the Supervisory Committee is much higher than that of North Korea and Song Dynasty, and the export tax can even be refunded. After coming and going, the cost of the Supervisory Council's trafficking of ironware to the Kingdom of Jin is much higher than that of North Korea and Song Dynasty. Businessman wants low.

In the past, because of the high local iron price in Jin Country, this little cost advantage could not be shown, but as the iron price in Jin Country dropped instantly.There is a sharp gap between the profits of the supervisory board selling iron and other merchants selling iron.

What made these people even more angry was that half a month later, the supervisory board actually started to fight a price war with them by taking advantage of the cost advantage.

The Supervisory Committee took the initiative to lower the price of the sales in the Kingdom of Jin, and the selling price was already close to the bottom line of the North Korean and Song Dynasty merchants selling ironware.

Some merchants who got the news were even more stunned to find that their ironware started to lose money immediately after they were delivered to the Jin Country market.

In the Kingdom of Jin, the ironware markets of Korean and Song merchants were quickly snatched away by the supervisory committee.

The merchants of North Korea and Song Dynasty already had a lot of swear words about the operation of the Supervisory Committee that harmed others and benefited themselves. Unfortunately, they were in the Kingdom of Jin, and no matter how much they hated the Supervisory Committee, they could do nothing.

As for Jin Guo, he was naturally happy about it, and the song Deng Fei and Sun Xin helped their army solve a big worry for the future.

Wanyan Zonghan was very happy to meet Deng Fei and Pan Jinlian several times in person, and repeatedly reiterated the strong friendship between himself and the Supervisory Committee.

Sun Xin was also very violent about this. After receiving a chicken feather letter from Jin Guo to report the matter, he wrote a letter advocating friendship between himself and Jin Guo and sent it to Wanyan Zonghan.

Sun Xin led this operation, of course not because he thought there was too much money, nor did he have the idea of ​​helping the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom.

It is Zhao Ji's dream to want the Kingdom of Jin to help the Han people regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and Sun Xin is not so naive.

The only reason why Deng Fei was asked to dump ironware to the Kingdom of Jin, and even to reduce profits on a large scale, was because this business could not be done for long.

After returning from Qingzhou, combined with Deng Fei's experience in the Kingdom of Jin, Sun Xin has already determined that, just like in his previous life, the Kingdom of Jin will launch a large-scale attack on the Liao Kingdom this summer at most.

If there is no larger-scale change in history, Sun Xin believes that the land that the Kingdom of Jin wants to capture this time is far from the previous border states like Huanglong Mansion and Ningjiang Prefecture. They will directly win the four capitals of Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop. One of them, Shangjing, cut the land of Liao in half.

From now on, Jin Kingdom will also change its status as a small frontier country, and truly become a force competing for the Central Plains.

The more far-reaching impact is still being analyzed, but the short-term impact visible to the naked eye is that Jin Guo will never be short of iron again.

Considering Deng Fei's dictation of the burning, killing and looting after the Jin State occupied the land of the Liao people, Sun Xin estimated that after the Jin State occupied the hinterland of the Liao State, the local household registration would drop sharply.

As the population decreased, the consumption of ironware would naturally decrease. In addition, the Liaodong area that the Qing Dynasty would occupy was an important iron-producing area of ​​the Liao Kingdom. At that time, the ironware produced by the newly occupied area of ​​​​the Jin State would not be able to be used.

Anyway, the price of high-speed rail can't last long, so it's better to take advantage of the last chance to make a fortune.
