The staff member asked someone to count the quantity and quality of some rice, and found that it was the same as what Marlow and others said, so he directed a crane to drop all the rice into the warehouse at the dock.
Then he said to Marlow: "There are two ways to pay for the goods. One is that we clear the money and goods now, and you can leave with 60,000 yuan. The other is to go to our shop in Daqian and buy some at cost price." For the goods, we transported a large amount of steel farm implements and tools, and the prices are extremely low. A hundred-refined sickle only costs 50 yuan, a hundred-refined hatchet only costs 200 yuan, and there are also daily necessities such as iron plows and scissors. , the prices are more than twice as low as Dahan, you can exchange these goods to Dahan, many people do this, and now these goods are selling very well!"
Zhu Hai and the others just wanted to take the money and leave, but Marlow saw that many transport ships were full of goods when they left. It was obvious that this big official was not lying. He thought for a while and said firmly: "We want goods! "
After hearing this, the staff gave him the banknotes and said: "This is my Daqian banknote. You can buy goods on the island. After you finish buying the goods, you can exchange the money into Dahan's copper coins when you want to leave!"
The reputation of banknotes is slightly better in Dahan territory. After Marlow and the others took the banknotes, they followed a Daqian soldier to the shop they were talking about.
On the way, Zhu Hai asked in a low voice: "Brother Ma, we have sold out the food, why don't you take the money and go back immediately? After all, this is Daqian's territory, it is too dangerous!"
Others also expressed approval. They also wanted to settle down in peace. After all, the whole of Yangzhou was demonizing Daqian. They were also a little worried that all their people and goods would be annexed by Daqian, and they did not want to stay on this small island for too long. Long!
But Marlow said firmly: "It is because of the danger that we have to make enough money, not just a little food money. This 60,000 yuan seems to be a lot, but it is enough for each of us to share more than 10,000 yuan at most. Do we risk so much?" The biggest risk is to make less than 10,000 yuan? Of course, you have to make a little more. And I also saw that the fleet that went back was also full of dry goods. These business people must know better than us, so we will follow them. You can’t do anything wrong!”
Not long after, they came to a giant factory-style house and walked in!
Then they saw a sight they had never seen before in their lives. Countless hoes, plowshares, machetes and other iron farm tools were placed on the containers with a cold blue light!
At this time, a waiter came up and asked: "My dear guests, what do you want?"
Marlow and the others were still in shock and had no reaction at all, and the guys were used to it, because there are too many people who are shocked these days. In Daqian, due to the continuous upgrading of blast furnaces, the most advanced blast furnace can now smelt 1,000 tons of iron at a time. This is almost what the Han Dynasty produced in more than a year before Xu Wei came to this world.
Therefore, iron farm tools have become standard production tools for farmers in Daqian. When Daqian allocates fields to the people, they will help new people who join Daqian take loans to purchase a set of such iron farm tools. Xu Wei completely I can proudly say that my rule has completely eliminated primitive agricultural tools such as wooden plowshares and stone plowshares.
But this is not the case in Dahan. Although Liu Bei and the others also pirated Daqian's first-generation blast furnaces, their progress stopped there. More than ten years later, Dahan's blast furnaces are still Daqian's first-generation blast furnaces. The style has not been updated at all.
Although Liu Bei had blast furnaces, most of the iron produced by these blast furnaces was used for military equipment, and only a small part was used for people's lives. This resulted in the Han Dynasty's ironware not falling in price along with the blast furnaces. On the contrary, because the information in Kuaiji County is closed, the price of steel here is still the same as that in the Han Dynasty, and even increased a little because of the war! It cannot be said that the farmers here do not have any iron farm tools, but there are relatively few. The local farmers cherish it very much, and even dare not Grind several times.
It took a long time for Marlow and the others to come back to their senses. He immediately asked: "I don't know, what is the price of iron here?"
The clerk immediately pointed to these farm tools and said: "A steel plow is 1,000 yuan. Don't look at the high price, but this is a military product. Look at this sign!"
The clerk pointed to the standard of a horse and said: "This is the logo of Mayi Iron and Steel Factory. This is the largest military factory in my country. The steel in it is used to make Mo Dao, Iron Armor and other Bailian swords. Do you understand Bailian? ?”
Marlow and the others nodded immediately. Of course they had heard of the Hundred Refined Sword. It is said that a sword made in this way is worth thousands of gold!
Zhu Hai doubted: "Are you bragging? Bailian Steel can actually be used to make farm tools, and the price is so low!"
Zhu Hai now seems to have heard that a piece of gold weighing a pound only costs 100 yuan, and he also guarantees you that it is made of pure gold. I am afraid he is not treating people as fools!
But the waiter didn't say much, then picked up a hatchet and slashed at a wooden stick as thick as an egg!
"Poof!" He cut it in two, and then the man showed them the blade of the knife. Suddenly there was no trace at all. Then he used the hoe to hoe the stick again. Although it was not as short this time, it still penetrated the stick very deeply. Waiting for them again I picked up the hoe and found that there was nothing wrong with it!
Then he said to Marlowe and the others: "How about it! The quality is guaranteed. Let me tell you that this is not iron, but steel that is stronger than iron. This knife will not break whether you cut it vertically or horizontally. There will be no gaps! You must know that this is made of the same steel as the sword!"
After this demonstration, Marlow and the others finally believed that Daqian really used the steel of the sword to make hoes. Their eyes began to shine when they looked at these hoes and hatchets. With these farm tools, it would be so convenient for them to do farm work. I'm afraid that with these agricultural tools, I can cultivate 10 more acres of land a year!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So Marlow and the others immediately said: "Give me 10 sets of each of these hoes, sickles, and iron plows."
In this way, Marlow and the others spent all the money they earned to buy farm tools, but each of them felt that they had gained a lot. This trip was so profitable. An iron plow that sold for 3,000 yuan in Dahan not only sold for 1,000 yuan here, but also sold for 1,000 yuan. The quality is several times higher. These are agricultural tools made of Bailian steel. Military products and Bailian swords are of the same quality!
After Marlow and the others returned to their boat with the farm tools, the five of them immediately returned to Zhu Hai's home and divided the farm tools among themselves.
Then Zhu Hai couldn't wait to let his old scalpers come to cultivate the land, and Marlow and the others also took farm tools to the fields to experiment, and the effect was beyond their imagination. The old scalpers plowed the fields almost faster. Double the amount, and the hoe can cut the weeds by their roots with just one shovel.
"It's really a good thing. A big man can't make such a good farm tool!" Marlow said in amazement, and then he became more and more satisfied with the farm tools in his hands!
Even Zhu Hai exclaimed: "No wonder the general can't defeat the Dagan people. Even their farm tools are more powerful than my Dagan people!"
Each of them took their farm tools home and sold them to people they knew well. In order to sell quickly, they asked their relatives to use grain to trade for these farm tools. In this way, Marlow and the others made nearly six times the profit at one time. profit.
Such high profits naturally aroused the greed of Marlow and the others. They did not want to end the deal just like this, so they formed a fixed team. Some people were responsible for transporting goods, some were responsible for selling things to Da Gan, and others were responsible for They sell Dagan's goods in Dahan and buy Dahan's grain at the same time. They even found a profitable industry, which is to cut down trees in Dahan, make logs and then sell them down the river to people in Dagan. A log costs 200 Money, now the whole village is doing things for Marlow and the others.
In this way, in less than half a year, each of Zhu Hai and the others made more than one million dollars, and their lives were even more prosperous!
But such prosperous days cannot continue like this. Daqian continued to dump steel tools like this, and in fact, Yangzhou Mu Guanyu soon found out.
It’s just that at the beginning, there were not many such things, and Daqian exchanged steel farm tools for grain, and the price was three times lower!
In this matter, the big man took advantage. Guan Yu even arranged for his men to customize a large number of hatchets in Daqian, and then reforged them into machetes, the weapon of the big man. Guan Yu even ordered a batch of steel.
But as the steel dumped by Daqian was endless, it even began to exceed the scope of Yangzhou, and the food and goods siphoned by Daqian even began to affect the stability of Yangzhou. Moreover, Daqian was constantly affected by this kind of business, and the people of the Han Dynasty continued to help them. His actions have affected tens of thousands of people so far, and this is something Guan Yu can't bear.
So at this time, Guan Yu attacked with iron blood. He used the evidence that he had already found to collude with Da Gan to attack these Yangzhou merchants and killed them in rivers of blood! He captured almost all the caravans that Da Gan had connections with in the Han Dynasty!
Kuaiji County, Dongzhi County!
Zhu Hai is living a very peaceful life now. After starting the lumber business, Maruo and the others have a stable foundation. Under the leadership of Maruo and the others, the lives of the people in the village are becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
Now even though Zhu Hai has become a rich man, he still likes the feeling of farming, so whenever he has time, he will bring new farm tools to reclaim new wasteland and expand the area of his family's fields. In his opinion, the fields are what truly give him A legacy for future generations!
But if a person sits at home, disaster will come from heaven.
When Zhu Hai was plowing the land, a young man ran over and said anxiously: "Brother Zhu, a big disaster has happened. The court has begun to arrest people. It is said that anyone who has anything to do with the Dagan people will be arrested and killed. Now the village chief Let you go back and think of a solution!"
Zhu Hai was so shocked that he couldn't speak. For more than half a year, he had led the whole village to help Dagan cut wood. At the beginning, he was worried about whether there would be any problems in helping Dagan people do things like this. , but when he saw tens of thousands of people helping Da Gan people to do things, he felt that the law should not be punished. In addition, the Han Dynasty had not taken any action for more than half a year, and he thought that the Han government could not defeat the Da Gan people after all. , thinking that they did not dare to offend Da Ganren, they could only acquiesce in their behavior. Zhu Hai naturally did not think there was anything wrong with what he did.
But this time the big man's actions woke him up, letting him know that his thoughts in the past were self-deception. To the big man, their behavior was betrayal, collaboration with the enemy, and about to be beheaded. Thinking of this, Zhu Hai broke out in cold sweat. He didn't want to be hacked to death like this!
Soon Zhu Hai and others were called together. When the villagers, clan leaders and clan elders talked about how they helped Da Gan cut down the wood, they stamped their feet, beat their chests, and shed tears. Everyone was denounced by Ma. Luo and the others said that they had brought the village to a dead end.
When they saw Zhu Hai, they all wanted to kill him and then quickly said: "Hand Zhu Hai over to the government!"
Zhu Hai woke up immediately, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone knows what happened in the village. Everyone thinks that if such a big thing happens, the government will be satisfied if I am alone. In the past six months, we have made so much money." , you are willing to hand it over to the government!"
Hearing this, the villagers were silent. Since contacting Dagan, their lives have become easier. As long as they cut down trees and sell these trees down the river to Dagan people, they can make money. It can be said that this In half a year, they made money that they would never have earned in their lifetime. Now every household in Zhuhai's village is building new houses, and there is an opportunity to get married every few days. This was something that was impossible to happen before.
It's a pity that all this was just a dream. Now their dream has awakened, and it can even be said to have turned into a nightmare. They have to pay the price.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Hai said firmly: "Under the current circumstances, if the big man wants to scare the monkeys, it is impossible for them to let us go. Even if we hand over our family property, they will not let us go." We can only escape now!"
The village chief said in a panic: "This world belongs to the Han people, where can we escape to?"
Zhu Hai immediately said: "There is still a country called Daqian in this world, and the people of Daqian are stronger than the Han people. We can escape to live in the country of Daqian. Now the country of Daqian lacks people, and they have always wanted us to go to Daqian. We want to go to the land, and they will not only prepare the land for them, but they will also give us farm tools to help us build houses!"
The clan elder couldn't believe it and said, "Is there such a good thing?"
Zhu Haidao: "This is what their officials said to me personally. Dagan people never lie!"
Zhu Hai really didn't lie. Daqian established a contact point in Kuaiji County. In addition to wanting to buy supplies from Dahan nearby, he also wanted to attract some Dahan people. Now there is not much Daqian local population on the island. Most of them are They were some savages. Although these people were subdued by Daqian, they were still wild and unsuitable for agricultural production.
Bao Xin looked around and found that Han people were the most likely source of population, so he was now attracting people from Han people to the island. As long as they could come to the island, everyone could get 100 acres of land, new farm tools and cattle, and even Daqian will also raise a few laborers to help them cultivate the land (actually, they will teach the savages to cultivate the land!)
Zhu Hai and the others have been pulled by immigration officials several times, so they understand this, but he has family in Dahan, so naturally he doesn't want to leave his hometown, so he never went, but now he can only go to the island!
After discussing with several clan elders for a while, the village chief finally decided to listen to Zhu Hai's words, pack up his belongings, get on the raft, and go down the river to join Daqian!
And more than one village is doing this. After all, the entire Kuaiji County is helping Daqian do things, so now many villages in the vast countryside of Kuaiji County are panicking. Everyone has left their hometowns with their little family property to join Daqian!
