The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 246 The Gao family in Hexi is getting married!
After Ren Damin set up a stall in Taoyang City for a few days, people from the merchant gang arrived at the guild hall one after another. They all rushed to Wuying and sold goods for a few days, and then made a statistics of the remaining goods. The leader of the merchant gang Take it with you and go to Guanying Town to find a merchant with good experience in receiving goods.

The reason why Guanying Town is convenient for shipping goods is naturally because it is close to Gongchang Market.The operation mode of Gongchang City Market is quite special. It belongs to neither Yungu Guan nor Beixiang Guan.The two established methods for opening the market were joint management and governance. Beixiang and Yungu each set up a trade office in the city, and each side sent [-] troops to maintain order in the market.

To do business in the market, you need to get the approval from the respective trade office first, and then register with the other party's office before you can get a license to do business normally.There are two types of business licenses in Gongchang, one is a long-term business license, and the other is a temporary business license that can be entered during the trading day on the fifth day of each month.

Both licenses have a quota limit. There is a fixed number of two merchants that can enter Gongchang Market for trading, and the quota cannot be increased at will.

Since it was inconvenient for merchants to enter the Gongchang market, a secondary market was formed on the official side to serve the mutual market.Beixiang is also a large market with strong consumption power, but there are only six trading openings between them and Dazheng.Moreover, the trade restrictions between Dazheng and Beixiang are much more than those between Gongchang and Gongchang. The most important thing is that the mutual trade between them is mainly for bulk trading goods.

Since the opening of Gongchang Market, it has quickly become the main place for Beixiang merchants to purchase small commodities in addition to Yungu's own products to fill the vacancies that cannot be solved through other channels.

Merchants who are qualified to enter will sell all kinds of goods at low prices in the government-run secondary market and bring them to the sales market for merchants coming from Beixiang to sell.

The market is large and the demand is widespread. It is difficult for small traveling merchants like Ren Damin to find buyers for their goods. Demand can be found in the market in Beixiang.However, the sales cycle of this thing will be very long. Businessmen who sell such items have psychological expectations and will try to keep the price as low as possible when receiving the goods.Buy the goods at a very low price. If you meet a buyer from Beixiang, you will make a huge profit.

"Damin, did you receive two slaps for this job?" After the official business finished shipping the goods, Uncle Ren Damin hurried over and asked his nephew about his income from this trip to Yungu.

"It's the basic money I just took stock of, so I should have two slaps." Two slaps refers to ten silver dollars. In fact, Ren Damin made more money on this trip than two slaps, but he was not good Give full account to my second uncle.

"You can do it with just two slaps. This trip was not in vain. Your baby can afford to eat on our way. When we go to Taoyang City, we can buy some Yungu goods, and we can still make money when we return to Qinzhou. Some money." The second uncle couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that his nephew made more than two slaps of money. If he could make more or less, he would be able to continue his business.

"Uncle, what should we buy from Taoyang City on the way back? Should we spend all the money we have on buying finished goods?" The goods we brought back are sold out, so naturally we have to worry about what we will buy when we go back. Ren Damin is The first time I came here, I still didn’t have a clear understanding of the market conditions.

"Just buy Yungu cloth, Yungu kerosene, and the vermicelli and canned food they produce. Other Yungu products are too heavy and too expensive for us to make. Remember, when buying Yungu cloth, don't If you want to buy thick woolen cloth, just buy mixed woolen cloth. Thick woolen cloth can be sold in Beixiang and Xifan, but we in Dazheng want less of this kind of cloth. Yungu goods are easy to sell when they arrive in Qinzhou, but they don’t make much money. That’s what we want Quick."

Relatively speaking, the small commodities produced in Yungu are not rich in categories.The main pillar industries, in addition to blended woolen fabrics, are wheels, iron products, textile machinery, and glass, which has recently begun to be exported in large quantities. "Uncle, I saw that there is a lot more wine sold in Yungu than in Guanying, and the price is relatively cheap. Let's bring in some wine, do you think it will work?" The second uncle mentioned several items that all colleagues in the industry know. Come on, Ren Damin wants to develop some new products and make more money after returning.

"Yungu wine is very unpalatable. No one in Dazheng likes to drink it. Only the foul-mouthed feudal lords and Xiang people can drink it. Don't try to drink it. If Yungu wine tastes good, They also don’t import large amounts of alcohol from Yokokawa.”

"I see, I won't buy Yungu Wine anymore. By the way, kerosene takes up a lot of space when choosing. Is it worthwhile for us to buy it?" Kerosene is a new specialty product of Yungu that started in the second half of last year. It is sold for sale. It is cheaper than flax oil and beeswax, and is being promoted as a lighting oil.

"It's cost-effective. How come it's not cost-effective? This oil is better for lighting lamps than other oils. The price in Qinzhou is cheaper than clear oil. It will definitely be easy to sell. My main idea is not to sell the oil directly to big shops. I What I want to do is to let Grandpa You, who cannot travel far away, and you to be sold in our village when you grow up. This is a long-term business, and if you do it well, you can earn some money to support your family. "

Uncle Ren Damin has quite a business acumen and is aware of the advantages of daily consumables such as kerosene.If you pick it back and sell it yourself, you will have a cost advantage.I and my nephew brought a hundred kilograms of oil. One kilogram of oil earned a price difference of about three to four cents. One hundred kilograms of oil can earn three to four hundred cents. It’s not bad to be able to earn so much money without leaving the village. of.

Back in Taoyang City, the merchant gang rushed to the military supplier in Yungu to obtain the Yungu specialties they needed.When buying goods, the military supply store came out with a new small product called soap. Ren Damin felt that this product was not expensive and very practical. It should be popular in Qinzhou, so he added some outside the plan.

Before leaving the military supplier shop, Ren Damin took a special look at the bicycle samples displayed in the hall, where some people were looking at them but no one was selling them.The shipping price of this Dongxijun Supplier's house is five to sixty silver dollars. A thing that is neither easy to use nor easy to break requires such a high price. What are the people at Yungujun Supplier's thinking?
Carrying more than 100 kilograms of goods, Ren Damin and others embarked on the road back to their hometown.Hu Langke is like this, come and go in the wind and rain, always on the road no matter the cold or heat.

……

Compared with the Hu Langke who are constantly running around for life, Song Yingkui, the lord of Yungu City, who is taking his relatives and family to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air on the bank of Tao River, is much more leisurely. It has been about ten years since time travel, which can be regarded as It’s not easy to get to the point where you can enjoy yourself.

"How have you considered the letter from the city lord and General Gao of Hexi?" Seeing that Song Yingkui was in a better mood, the second uncle asked him what he was most concerned about at the moment.

"It's a good thing that the Gao family wants to get married, but it doesn't necessarily have to be with me, right? Ying Quan is getting older, and it's time to talk about marriage. Should we let Ying Quan marry a girl from the Gao family?" A letter from the Gao family asked. It was really a matter of marriage between the Gao and Song families. The head of the Gao family said that he had a younger sister who had not yet been married. If she could marry a hero of the world like General Yungu, it would be a blessing for the two families to have a good relationship with the Qin and Jin Dynasties.Of course it is a good thing that someone comes to send his wife off, but Song Yingkui has shadows and fears about marriage. He doesn't want to get involved in any more trouble, so he wants to let his third brother take the blame!
