On the table were various mushroom sauces produced by Caiyun Xiaoyuan's workshop. Huo Xi took a look at them and guessed what the other person was thinking.
After the general conveyed Alxa's meaning, Huo Xi was a little surprised: "What kind of mushroom recipes do you want to buy?"
The general glanced at Alxa and nodded.
"Our tribe also grows various kinds of mushrooms, but we don't know how to make sauce. We usually only pick them up and dry them in the sun to eat. If the tribesmen learn how to make mushroom sauce, they can also be used at home."
Moreover, the young master means that if they learn the method of making sauce, not only will the tribesmen have one more thing to go out to graze in the future, but the excess can also be sold to other tribes and Xirong, which will also be a benefit to the tribe.
.
Huo Xi was a little surprised and took a look at Alxa.
Alxa suddenly became a little nervous.
This is a way for others to make money. How could he teach them? He felt that it was not good to buy a piece of cake and cut off other people's money. But their tribe really has a lot of mushrooms. They grow quickly when it rains, and most of them rot.
It's in the ground.
He didn't feel it was a pity at first, but now that he had eaten such delicious mushroom sauce, he felt it was a bit of a waste.
Seeing that Huo Xi didn't respond, he was so anxious that he started giggling at her.
After listening to Tongshi's translation, Yang Fu said to Huo Xi: "Xi'er, our mushroom sauce is selling well now. The important thing is that it gives the guys a job. The people outside can also exchange a few copper coins for picking up some mushrooms."
If production is reduced, I'm afraid it will be affected. There is no need to cut off everyone's way of making money.
Huo Xi thought about it for a while and found that she was not short of two thousand taels of silver. The other party promised her that he would only make it within the clan and sell it only to the clan and nearby Xirong, and would not sell it to the customs.
Huo Xi is not worried about this. Even if they want to send it in and sell it, it is not cost-effective because the mountains are high and the roads are far away. It will not affect her business.
Moreover, she took a fancy to the good horses from the other tribe. After making friends with the Xiqiang tribe, the other tribes were no longer a problem.
Smiling and nodding: "Okay, I can sell you those recipes. But I have conditions..."
Alxa was very happy and nodded repeatedly.
It is an honor for him and their tribe that the Crown Prince's wife can use him. It is a great good thing for their tribe to be able to curry favor with the Crown Prince's wife who went to the Mu Mansion. Just now he was thinking that if the Crown Prince's wife raised the price, he would also
willing.
Huo Xi said, "Every year I want a hundred stallions, five hundred good horses, and a thousand good horses."
Alashan was stunned after hearing Tongshi's translation, and looked at each other with several of his subordinates.
The Crown Prince's wife signed a five-year cooperation agreement with him. The cattle, sheep and other livestock in their tribe, as well as other furs, medicinal materials and other items, can also be sold for money. Now she is willing to teach him the method of making sauce.
He shouldn't refuse.
The general conveyed Alxa's meaning: "Our tribe's horses can be used exclusively for the ladies, but the number is a bit too much. I'm afraid we can't supply them."
Their tribe is not big, and every year the court collects fine horses from their tribe. The prince's wife wants so many, and there is no way to supply them.
Huo Xi smiled and said, "If your tribe doesn't have any, you can buy it from neighboring tribes. I buy it at the market price. I don't care what price you buy it for. This is also a good thing for your tribe. First, you can make a difference in price. Second,
But if you interact more with neighboring tribes and have more contacts, the relationship will naturally get better. You are not afraid that your sauce will not be sold. Besides, we have been cooperating for five years, so you can slowly think about the key points here.
"
You’ve already reached this point, don’t you understand?
Xiqiang is sandwiched between Xirong and Xifan. If their tribe is short of horses and various goods, they can purchase from the two neighbors. Not only can their tribe make a profit, but they can also get along well with their neighbors. If there is a big problem in the future,
The tribe wants to annex them, but is it afraid that there are not one or two friends willing to lend a hand?
Isn’t it better than them traveling thousands of miles to Yunnan to ask for reinforcements?
If we were smarter, we could centrally purchase the goods outside the customs, sell them to the North and South freight companies, and then transport the goods back from the North and South for daily needs, wouldn't we be able to make some profit from the price difference?
It depends on whether he can figure it out.
Moreover, for the North-South Cargo Company, the foreigners know the foreigners better, which is more advantageous than sending a caravan over to purchase. Not only it saves more manpower, material and financial resources, but also avoids various risks along the way.
It is really a matter of convenience, it depends on whether Alxa understands and grasps it.
Foreigners have simple ideas. They live a single life and don't know how to do business. They are not as overthinking as the Han people. Before signing a five-year contract with Huo Xi, I just wanted to find a stable partner for the tribe's production.
, I never thought that I could purchase from other tribes, increase the quantity and resell it to Huo Xi.
After Huo Xi's prodding, Alashan's mind suddenly became much clearer.
In front of Huo Xi, they discussed with several of their subordinates and calculated whether, in addition to the quota of fine horses they paid to the court, they could collect enough or buy horses from neighboring tribes.
After seeing them discussing for a long time, there was no conclusion. Huo Xi couldn't help but ask...
"As for the horses, if there are enough, it's best, if not, it doesn't matter. As long as the young master cooperates sincerely, whatever you need from now on, I will do my best and the price will definitely satisfy you. And what you bought this time is very large.
Duo, I am willing to send a team to escort you so that you can return to the tribe safely."
"Is it true?" Alxa brightened up surprisingly.
Although they brought many people this time, they also purchased a lot of daily necessities, and the road was long and blocked, and it was not peaceful along the way. If something unfair happened, they would probably lose both money and money.
He nodded immediately: "Then I agree. Just follow the number Madam said! Every May and June, I will prepare the number of horses and send them to Madam."
Alashan left happily, very satisfied with the harvest of his trip.
Huo Xi sent a team composed of fifty soldiers to send them back. He also sent a number of buyers to follow, intending to buy a batch of goods there and then transport them back with the team.
With Alxa as our escort, this purchase will definitely go smoothly, and with their help, we can make the reputation of the North-South Cargo Store outside the customs, and there will be no shortage of goods in the future.
If everything goes well, even if there are many imitation shops in the future, they will not be able to match her in terms of supply and quantity of goods.
Gen Qi was initially disapproving of Huo Xi's sending fifty soldiers to escort a foreign caravan, but when he heard that they were asked to purchase goods there and then send them back, he immediately admired them.
Sure enough, everything the lady did was not without purpose.
"Madam, the voices of dissatisfaction from businesses outside are getting louder and louder. Madam, do you have any countermeasures?"
Although Gen Qi felt that the merchants outside were being unreasonable and blamed his wife for the lack of business in their own shop. When their shop was booming, did they ever think about the other shops that were not doing business? Everyone depends on their ability to make a living, and when they see others' business is booming, they will jump up.
complain?
Although I was disdainful, I was also worried that it would affect the prince's reputation.
