"Runzhou?" He said these two words softly, and Xiao Han's originally lazy eyes suddenly became sharp!
"Yes! It's Runzhou!"
Unfortunately, the old man on the side did not notice anything strange about Xiao Han. He still looked at the map on the wall and said in a slightly excited tone: "Look, is the location of Runzhou on the map exactly the same as my Guizhou? And
, it also started by relying on river shipping! In terms of shipping resources, Guizhou has the Lijiang River, the Xiangjiang River, and the Lingqu Canal! It is definitely no less than it!"
"Ahem, you just want to learn from Runzhou to develop shipping?" After hearing this, Xiao Han's sharp eyes dimmed instantly. After coughing twice, he looked at the old man strangely and said, "In that case, old man
Sir, you can just do it yourself, why do you need to find a brat?"
"Why are you looking for me? I don't have any money?!" The old man glared at Xiao Han, wanting to jump up and yell in his ears! But thinking about the golden pig in front of him that he had been waiting for for several years, he could only do it with a look on his face.
He put on a more benign smile, looking just like the monster who abducted the little girl.
"Ahem, dredging waterways and attracting businessmen all require money! And as you can see here, I really can't afford so much money! I also reported to the Ministry of Accounts to allocate silver, but they were all rejected."
Having said this, the old man swallowed, glanced at Xiao Han guiltily, and then continued: "Later, Brother Xiao Yu said to me: My nephew, you are the best business person in this world!
The richest man in the world!
If my nephew is willing to pay, we can rehabilitate the Lingqu Canal, and we can also open up the channel between Lingnan and Jiangnan, and Chang'an. From now on, if there is any exchange of goods, I, Guizhou Prefecture, and even the entire Lingnan can follow.
Get rich?!"
"Well, if you call me a wise nephew, then you will treat the old nephew as an enemy?"
Xiao Han looked at the old man who looked a little guilty, and was completely speechless. He rolled his eyes several times, and then said: "The old man is joking. I did a little business at home, but you also know that I started from scratch."
!Even if the boy can make money again, how much can he make in the past two years? I’m afraid it won’t even be enough to support a big family, right?”
"That's richer than me!" The old man muttered in a low voice. When he realized that Xiao Han was looking at him, he quickly changed his words: "My nephew doesn't have to be humble. Compared to money and other external things, my nephew's ability is the most inferior."
I admire you! Wasn’t it your nephew who was the first to organize the grain and grass transportation business in Runzhou? Now look at Guizhou, it is no worse than Runzhou! As long as you take action, the 100,000 people in Guizhou will
I will definitely offer you as a living Bodhisattva!"
"Living Bodhisattva? It's hard to tell whether people here believe in Bodhisattva or not!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes again and sighed: "The old man wants to serve as an official and benefit the country. I deeply admire him, but it's like doing business.
This kind of thing is not something you and your kid can accomplish just by wishful thinking!
Yes, Runzhou is getting rich now, but old man, don’t forget that Runzhou started by transporting food. Do you have food here?”
"Well……"
Hearing Xiao Han ask this, the excited old man was immediately stunned.
Food? Such a precious thing, not to mention Guizhou, which doesn’t even have a flat road, is in short supply, even Lingnan is in short supply!
"Well, no!" He shook his head in embarrassment, but the old man proudly said to Xiao Han: "But we in Lingnan have all kinds of leather goods, mountain goods, fresh fruits, and..."
The old man's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it was even less audible! It wasn't that the old man suddenly became hoarse, but that opposite him, Xiao Han was staring at him with a joking look.
"Father goods? Are there any good ones produced in the north? Mountain products? Can they be sold? Fresh fruits? Are you sure they will still be fresh after they are shipped out?" Seeing that the old man stopped talking, Xiao Han slowly asked.
"this……"
The old man was speechless by these three consecutive questions, his lips trembled several times, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "I still produce jade here!"
"Jade is also produced here in Lingnan?" Xiao Han frowned. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any famous jade mines in Lingnan.
But it doesn’t matter, even if it can produce stones like Hotan jade, so what? I really think that people outside are rich people, and everyone can afford high-end goods like jade.
"Mr. Jade, don't even think about it. Not many people will buy that thing! No businessman will come here for a few stones!"
You must know that the bustling world is all about profit, and the bustling world is all about profit! Those businessmen are the purest people in the world. If you want to attract them, you must make them make money! I just don’t know what Mr.
Is there any cargo suitable for large-volume transportation here? Even silk and porcelain are fine!"
Really unable to bear to dampen the old man's enthusiasm, Xiao Han could only ask him in a tactful tone.
"Silk, porcelain?"
Unexpectedly, it was okay for Xiao Han not to ask, but when he asked, the old man's face turned even greener!
As for those rough people in the surrounding cottages, they can sew three holes in a linen garment and still get silk? It’s hard to say whether silkworm cocoons can be grown!
As for porcelain, don't even think about it! Nowadays, there is only one pottery maker in Guizhou Prefecture, and the pottery is so black that even making a urinal is disgusting with dirty hands.
"Is there nothing useful in this huge Lingnan?" After shaking for a long time, the old man weakly held the map and asked Xiao Han.
When Xiao Han saw this, he could only smile bitterly.
In such a large Lingnan, there are naturally countless things that can be used, but it is not suitable for the present!
For example, the famous saying "When a concubine rides on Jue Chen and laughs, no one knows it's a lychee." It's okay to do this to Li Longji, but to count on his great-grandfather Xiao Lizi, that's a fool's errand!
For an emperor who couldn't finish a portion of porridge and had to save it for the next meal, why did he still ride thousands of miles to deliver lychees? It hurt his body to deliver them from ten miles away. I'm afraid Xiao Li would rather not eat them than do this.
It seems like a stupid thing that wastes people and money, even if this stupid thing seems to Xiao Han, it is a genius marketing method.
"Old sir, really want to be rich?" After a while, Xiao Han asked again after looking at the frustrated old man.
"Xiao Hou, do you have a way?" When the old man, who was battered and bruised, heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xiao Han intently.
"Is there any way?" Xiao Han rubbed his chin and said slowly: "Actually, it's not impossible! However, I feel that the old gentleman needs to take a long-term view and not stick to one place!"
