Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 129 Yingtian's Deal

In terms of cost, it is actually quite high. In the Krypton Life store, the lower price limit is one day of life. In other words, even if you only buy one (jin) potato or one (jin) corn, it will take at least one day. longevity, so buying seeds is not cheap or cost-effective for Zhu Tianqi.

Take potatoes as an example. It takes about three hundred kilograms of seeds to plant one acre of potatoes. Whether you buy them by the piece or by the kilogram, it will take you two to three hundred days to buy three hundred kilograms of potatoes in the store. The lifespan of a human being is always less. Even if half a year's lifespan is enough to cultivate one acre of land, ten acres of land will have a lifespan of five years, and one hundred acres of land will have a lifespan of 50 years!How much land is there in a province?

Of course, the cost can be lower if you switch to corn, rice, wheat, etc., because these crops have ready-made seeds, which are sold in bags. A five-pound bag of seeds is almost enough to sow an acre of land. And like this The price of a bag of seeds in the Kryptonian store only lasts about ten days.

But even so, after careful calculation, it is still not cost-effective. One year's life is only enough to buy 36 acres of land to sow the necessary seeds. You must know that the cultivated land area of ​​Shaanxi Province alone is as high as 3000 million acres. In his 100-year lifespan, he could only buy enough seeds to sow [-] acres of fields, which was only one ten thousandth of the land in a province.

And how much yield can be increased in these fields where high-quality and high-yielding grain seeds are sown under the current climate environment and agricultural level?
So at least for now, it seems that instead of using lifespan to buy seeds, it is better to use lifespan to exchange for silver. According to the current situation, I can exchange for about 20 taels in the market for the small commodities I bought in the Krypton life store with one day's lifespan. With around 100 taels of silver, in a 70-year lifespan, I can buy myself back more than [-] taels of silver.

Although the price of grain in Daming has risen a lot now, you can still buy one stone of rice for two taels of silver, and 70 taels is 35 stone. If you go to Annan to buy it, you can double it. If you spend 100 years of life to buy seeds, you can plant Is there so much food coming out?

The average yield of fields in the Ming Dynasty was only two shi of grain per mu, and 100 acres could only yield [-] shi. Of course, this was the yield using ordinary seeds, even if they were planted with high-quality seeds that they bought from the Krypton Life Store. Even if the output of high-yielding grains is doubled, my [-]-year lifespan and the wasting of so much time and energy can only produce [-] dan of grain, which is not enough to exchange for [-] dan of silver to buy grain. one part.

Therefore, until the domestic farming technology and agricultural level as a whole improve to a certain level, it is not suitable to buy high-quality and high-yield grain seeds with a long life span. For the time being, it is better to use the life span wisely and concentrate on making money and science and technology.

Speaking of making money, Nian Shaoqing has sent a secret letter to Zhu Tianqi through Jin Yiwei's channel, telling him the details of his business in Yingtian during this period.

Young Shaoqing first opened a store in Yingtian in the name of his nephew, which mainly sold kerosene lamps and kerosene. It also sold some small Thai and Western commodities, which was a bit like a foreign goods store.

Although there are many Thai and Western products on the market in the Ming Dynasty these days, the prices are still relatively expensive. Generally, it is mainly for rich people who want to buy them back and enjoy them. Ordinary people cannot afford them, so they can come to his shop to buy things. Yes, things worth a dozen or 20 taels of silver are naturally affordable.

As for products such as rubber rings and little blue pills, which are difficult to be considered elegant, naturally they cannot be sold directly on the table. They are mainly sold privately. Young Shaoqing first gave them to his friends in Yingtian. I sent some as gifts to let them experience the effect first, and then cooperated with some large shops and Goulan to sell them wholesale.Generally speaking, the market feedback is very good. Anyone who has tried the products provided by Young Shaoqing has come back to him to buy again. After all, "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality." After such convenient and comfortable high-end gadgets, who would use that kind of sausage casing to sit on?The key is that the casings are not cheap!

But in fact, rubber rings are much more expensive than casings. Although the prices of the two are similar, after all, casings can be used repeatedly, but rubber rings are disposable, but the rich people in the world have wealth. Wanguan, my family is a mountain of gold and silver, who cares about this little money?

Although it is a private business, the speed of spread is unexpected. In fact, this is not surprising. Those gentry and wealthy businessmen like to drink together in the courtyard, compare poems, hold courtesans, and engage in arty things. Occasionally, after drinking too much, they would discuss some so-called "immoral" things together. With this kind of novelty, naturally it spread quickly among the "upper class" in Yingtian.

Later, men were not the only people who came to buy young and young products. After all, women also had needs in this area. They also had experience in what was comfortable to use, and women also knew very well that sometimes it was reasonable. Using props also makes it easier for them to capture a man's heart.

Therefore, in just one month, the rubber rings and little blue medicines in Young Shaoqing's hands were snapped up. Before the stock was about to be sold out, Young Youngqing wrote a secret letter to Zhu Tianqi to report the situation, He explained the sales situation here, and at the same time hoped that Zhu Tianqi could send more goods this time. According to the current situation, if the goods sent are less, it is likely that they will be sold out after a few days.

Of course, stocks of kerosene lamps and kerosene also need to be replenished. Although these items are not as popular as rubber rings and small blue pills, they are still very popular. Everyone knows that the boss behind this Thai and Western goods store is young Qing, for his sake, would naturally come to support him, so as soon as his store opened at night, he sold dozens of kerosene lamps.

Later, because people who had used it were very satisfied with the lighting effect of this Thai-Western kerosene lamp, they came back to buy it a second time. Therefore, I believe that it will not be long before the sales of this kerosene lamp will also increase significantly.

Young Young Qing analyzed that the main reason why this kerosene lamp did not spread as fast as those two other things among the rich circles of Yingtian was that dignitaries like Yingtian had seen too many new gadgets from Taixi and did not discover useful lamps. You have to introduce it to others. That would not only be suspected of showing off to others, but also if you are ignorant, others will have to use more advanced gadgets, and you will lose face.

The rubber ring and the little blue medicine are different. It is precisely because these two things are not on the table that they are more topical and more likely to attract people's attention. When men drink too much and exchange experiences with each other, It is natural to mention them, so they can spread to the entire Yingtian rich circle at an extremely fast speed.
