When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

"Magistrate Su County." Luo Kan said hello to this fat guy.

The two had a relationship before.

But he didn't expect Luo Kan to have much impression of the guy in front of him. Instead, he could call out his identity as soon as he came, which was surprising and a bit embarrassing.

"Oh, as soon as I heard that there was a ship coming, I knew that there must be a letter from Liaodong. But apart from the letter, there shouldn't be anyone who needs tribute, right?"

"Paying tribute... isn't it time yet?" Luo Kan thought for a while and said, "Besides, we are a clan, and don't clan clans all follow the rules and give away special products? If there is food, we will give food, and if there is no food, we will give special products."

"I thought too much." Su Tan laughed, "Looking at your cargo, I thought you were here to pay tribute."

"It's not a tribute, I'm going to donate it." Luo Kan shook his head, "My goods can almost redeem me for a permanent title. I heard that Uncle Bei is preparing to conquer the Wu Zhong clan. Time is still very tight now, so I……"

"I see!" Su Tan pondered and said, "But since you have been in Liaodong for a long time, you probably don't know what our current market situation is like. Recently, due to the popularization of spinning wheels, the blending technology has been popularized, and we in the north have made a kind of good quality The price of some animal skins has dropped a lot due to the emergence of these blended cloths.

Look at the amount you have here, it’s quite a lot! "

"This..." Luo Kan's face changed slightly. Before he left for Liaoyang, he had indeed heard about Yan's cloth and received a technological innovation.

The speed of blending development is definitely far beyond ordinary production technology.

The current mainstream blended yarn is wool and linen. This kind of thing is worn in Beiping. It is not too cold. After all, it is just a little cold now, but the temperature in winter still belongs to the era when you can survive the winter by wrapping a piece of animal skin.

Unexpectedly, less than a year after leaving the country, the textile technology in Yan State has made great progress.

Su Tan pointed to the robe he was wearing and said, "Look, I am wearing a blended fabric with real silk inside, which enhances the overall toughness and is suitable for extension. It can also be turned into a robe by sewing it with animal skins." , both warm and gorgeous.

Generally speaking, we don't have much time in winter here. Every household has a stove and burns charcoal for heating in winter. Life is comfortable. As long as we are not going on an expedition, no one will buy too many leathers.

If you donate money, you will probably let the guys who manage the market lower the price for you. "

Luo Kan touched it and pulled it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so...what should we do? We have to sell it! If I can't buy a new place, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry! Don't worry! I'm here to tell you this not to scare you, but to help you solve your problem. You also know that before I became the magistrate of Haiyang County, I worked in a grain store.

Although the grain bank is still there, my old associates have been transferred to banks and municipal orders in various places. They have a lot of price differences in their hands.

If you trust me, why don't I sell it for you? As long as it is more than 10% higher than the current market price in Haiyang County, you can give me a commission of 100% for the larger part and pay the tax. And if there is any If you want to ship the goods, ship them to me first, and I guarantee you won’t suffer any loss. How about that? "

The picture of Sutan is poor and dagger can be seen.

He was thrown to Haiyang County to work for a period of time. He faced the tidal flats and the sea every day and had a huge headache.

Before Liaodong developed, sea trade was not strong enough, and Haiyang County could only stare blankly.

So, after much deliberation, I decided to go back to my old job and do business myself.

So Su Tan, under the nose of Dianke Mansion in Xingrenchun, used his previous contacts to recruit all the market leaders in the Yan Kingdom, and carried out the business of buying high and selling low.

After all, they are city magistrates, they control the markets all over the Yan Kingdom, and the information they possess is far beyond what ordinary people can compare with.

Therefore, wherever there is a drought, where food prices are low, or where the enemy invades, Su Tan will only know a lot more when he stays in Haiyang County.

When Luo Kan heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I still don't understand. Why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell it and lose money?"

"Hey, why else?" Su Tan sighed, "You also know that if we had not made any mistakes, we should have entered the Dianke Mansion by now, why would we be thrown into the post of Haiyang County? Uncle Bei said The entire Haiyang County is left to me to manage. How can I think of ways to gain political achievements?
Look, you've only been out for a year. You've gone by raft and come back by boat. But do you know where the building boat was built? "

"Tianjin County." Luo Kan thought for a moment and said.

"Yes! It's Tianjin!
Tianjin's geographical location is very advantageous. The geography of Haiyang County is actually very awkward. Although it is a land and sea hub that controls Liaoxi and Yongping, the problem is that there are not enough acres of land here, so the grain output has never been enough. I have to find a way to get it from Luan in the north. Water is imported from various places, otherwise I would not be able to support the current population of 5,000 in Haiyang County. "

"How many!" Luo Kan was shocked when he heard this number.

"Five thousand." Su Tan spread his hands and sighed, "I worked hard to get 1,200 descendants of the Sun family from Uncle Bei, and I finally collected five thousand.

But Uncle Bei didn't provide me with food or anything else, so I had to find a way on my own.

Now that you travel back and forth every year, the ships have changed. The shipyards in Tianjin County have begun to try to build large ships with 300 or even 500 materials.

Once the test product is completed and put into the sea, the ship can directly cross the Bohai Sea.

At that time, the geographical advantage of Haiyang will be reduced.

Therefore, I must be promoted and transferred before Haiyang falls.

One of the assessments for promotion is the combined examination of taxation, administration, population, and land.

You are all my food, clothing, and parents. As long as I am still in Haiyang County, there is no way I can cheat you! Otherwise, you will all go to other places to do business in the future, and I will stay here for the rest of my life unless I get promoted! "

Su Tan spoke with emotion and sincerity. Luo Kan took a look at the goods that had been moved, then looked at the market price listed on the dock, and asked: "If it is shipped to Tong County..."

"Don't, don't, don't. Don't have this idea. Tongxian County is now a big construction site, and there are camps everywhere. Everyone works shirtless, and they can't use up a few skins in a year.

Even if you want to ship it to Tianjin, there are still a lot of goods from southern merchants in Tianjin County, and your price cannot be raised.

The one who really lacks skin is still in Datong County further west.

I can use Dianke's annual postal quota here, and I don't have to pay for the freight myself. Beibo will cover it, otherwise, if you go out here, the price will be hard to say.

You know, we are cultivating and working everywhere and there are not enough livestock.

If you're not in a hurry, just walk slowly and pick it up, there won't be much to do.

But if you use livestock to transport it, even the slowest horse will charge a high price after walking around! "

"I don't have the time to send a letter..." Luo Kan said helplessly, "That's all, let's make a contract and leave this batch to you, and then help me transport it to Changping.

I have a brother named Li Yang who serves in the Forbidden Army. After I go to Tong County to deliver the letter this time, I will leave the follow-up matters to him. "

"Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it to you when the time comes. It'll be fine!"

Su Tan hurriedly took Luo Kan to drink and eat meat, and entertained him well. Then the next day, he helped him get through the post road and brought several fast horses with stirrups, saddles and horseshoes to the local post commander. Send him directly to Tong County.

Originally, Luo Kan thought he would have to drive for five days to cover 500 miles.

Unexpectedly, they changed horses without changing people on the way, and rushed for 600 miles. They even ran to Pinggu and rested for two hours. They showed up in Tongxian County early the next morning.

Present the letter to Xin Qu. (End of chapter)
