The first labor contract in ancient times was undoubtedly very unfair, but it was such a treaty that attracted countless people. As long as they entered a craftsman's workshop or paper mill, it meant that they no longer had to worry about food and drink. Some even said
I am willing to spend my whole life in a paper mill or craftsman's workshop.{.
Everything in Jincheng County has gone on the expected track. It will definitely not be a problem for Jincheng County's grain and grass to survive this winter, not to mention there will be a harvest in the autumn.
On this day, Jia Rong, who was thinking about how to recruit more talents, heard that the soldiers reported Mi Zhu's visit and hurriedly put down his work and went to greet him.
Han Sui was still very trustworthy. He sent war horses, food, grass, and money, and the merchants came to Hanyang County without any censure. Han Sui was now focused on developing his strength. He just wanted to appease the Xianling Qiang under his command.
So exhausted, what Jia Rong did in Jincheng attracted the admiration of countless Qiang people, and Xianling Qiang was no exception. Many Xianling Qiang tribes were plotting to negotiate with Jia Rong.
"Brother Zizhong, the wind has brought you here. Just send food and grass to the servants who usually deliver them." Jia Rong greeted with a smile.
Seeing Jia Rong, Mi Zhu wiped away the fatigue on his face, his spirits suddenly rose, and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but Zhiyuan still has the same style. I didn't expect that Zhiyuan is now the captain of the Qiang Guard.
Governor Jincheng, how is Wei'er doing lately?"
"Mi Wei is leading his army to guard Ayang. When Zizhong goes back, he can pass by Ayang and see him."
Mi Zhu said excitedly: "Thank you Zhiyuan for cultivating my son!" Mi Zhu was also happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard that Mi Wei had become the sole general under Jia Rong.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong is so polite. Why didn't Brother Zizhong know that Mi Wei was in Ayang on the way here?"
"I was in a hurry and didn't think so much!" Mi Zhu explained.
Walking into the mansion, the stool was not warm yet, so Mi Zhu asked: "I wonder if Zhiyuan has heard that a Xianlian Pavilion suddenly appeared in the Han Dynasty. There are now more than twenty Xianlian Pavilions, distributed in major counties and cities.
, and the items sold by Xianlian are even more popular with everyone. Zhiyuan doesn’t know that a small piece of something costs five guan. This is nothing. There is a more expensive one, which costs ten guan per piece.
The things in Xianlian Pavilion are not enough to sell every day, but I vaguely heard that Xianlian Pavilion has some relationship with the current Holy Emperor."
Seeing Mi Zhu who had just sat down and chatting endlessly, Jia Rong just said a faint "Yeah" and said nothing more.
Mi Zhu also felt something was wrong. He suddenly raised his head and saw Jia Rong who was looking at him with a smile. He seemed to have some realization. He looked at Jia Rong in shock and said, "Isn't Zhiyuan curious? Yes, Zhiyuan has just recovered Jincheng.
I'm busy managing Jincheng, so I don't have the heart to care about Xianlian Pavilion."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Brother Zizhong, why should I be curious? You can find out if you go to the Xianlian Pavilion in the city. Didn't Brother Zizhong notice the changes in Jincheng?"
Mi Zhu nodded and asked, "Is there a Xianlian Pavilion in Jincheng County?" Jia Rong's words reminded Mi Zhu of the changes he saw in Jincheng when he first arrived. Those houses were clearly just built, and the streets paved with bluestones were very wide.
Even compared to some major counties in the mainland, it is not inferior. I only care about the affairs of Xianlian Pavilion and don't care so much. There are too many strange things, so I accept the changes in Jincheng as a matter of course.
Jia Rong smiled and nodded and said: "I ordered it to be built, and the ordinary three-guan money of Xianlian and the fragrant seven-guan money inside are there! What does Brother Zizhong think?"
Mi Zhu hissed, stood up quickly, grabbed Jia Rong and asked, "Is what Zhiyuan said true?"
Jia Rong nodded. The price of Jincheng Xianlian Pavilion was drawn up by Jia Rong himself. The purpose of doing so is of course to promote the prosperity of Jincheng County. When businessmen from all over the country hear that the prices in Jincheng County are low, they will definitely find business opportunities, so they will not be far away.
When merchants come to Jincheng from thousands of miles away, they can naturally drive consumption. When merchants come to Jincheng, they still have to spend money for the most basic food and accommodation. The things these merchants bring are traded in Jincheng, and they buy a few small things before leaving. Jincheng County becomes
A prosperous city is just around the corner.
After Mi Zhu was initially surprised, he hurriedly pulled Jia Rong and said, "Zhiyuan, take me there quickly!" Xuzhou also has Xianlian Pavilion, but no matter how hard Mi Zhu tried, he could not win cooperation with Xianlian Pavilion. He could only vaguely guess.
Xianlian Pavilion was opened by the Su family and had some relationship with the Han Emperor.
Now I first heard that the Xianlian sold in Xianlian Pavilion in Jincheng is only sold for three guan. The profit of this ordinary piece of Xianlian is two guan, and the scented one is three guan. Xianlian is not like other items, only a small piece.
, transporting thousands of yuan in one cart is not a problem, not to mention that the carriages coming to Jincheng now are enough to carry hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Jia Rong broke away from Mi Zhu's hand and said with a smile: "To be honest with brother Zhong, I set the price for the Xianlian Pavilion in Jincheng County, and each merchant can buy up to 10,000 yuan at a time. It is first come, first served."
Policy, those who come late can only wait until the next batch of immortal lovers arrive."
After listening to Jia Rong's words, Mi Zhu gradually came to his senses. Jia Rong set the price for the Xianlian Pavilion in the city. So the owner of the Xianlian Pavilion had a great relationship with Jia Rong. Otherwise, how could he be alone in Jincheng County?
This price, as far as Mi Zhu knows, even the Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang has the same price, so it will not be Jia Rong's turn to set the price.
"Is there any relationship between Zhiyuan and the owner of Xianlian Pavilion?" Mi Zhu asked.
Jia Rong laughed and said: "Brother Zizhong, I am the master of Xianlian Pavilion, otherwise what do you think? But you can't tell others about this!" The price of Xianlian in Jincheng is lower than that in the mainland, and anyone who is interested can guess it.
I realize that I have a lot to do with Xianlian Pavilion.
Mi Zhu looked at Jia Rong blankly for a while, then sighed: "Zhiyuan is really a very human being!"
After receiving Mi Zhu's praise, Jia Rong also felt a little lighthearted. He was shocked that the master of Xianlian Pavilion was himself. Thinking about Jia Rong made him laugh.
A flash of light flashed in Mi Zhu's eyes, and she grabbed Jia Rong and said, "Zhiyuan is willing to sell a little more fairy love to my brother. It doesn't matter if the price is higher."
"Brother Zizhong's words are a bit exaggerated. Our Xiliang army has always relied on brother Zizhong for our food and grass. No matter how much immortal love you want, I won't even blink an eye."
Mi Zhu's heart warmed up. It would be impossible to say that he had worked hard for so long without any selfish motives. On the one hand, it was for the war horses of the Xiliang Army, and on the other hand, it was for Mi Wei. Mi Wei was the only son in the family. "You Zhiyuan said this,
My brother’s hard work for so long has all been worth it.”
After finishing his touching words, the discussion about Xianlian became much smoother. Jia Rong did his best to give Xianlian to Mi Zhu, while Mi Zhu was solely responsible for the food and grass in Jincheng. This time Mi Zhu brought about
Fifty thousand shi, according to the market price of grain in the Han Dynasty, is 50,000 gu.
In this way, Mi Zhu got more than 10,000 yuan of immortal love. Now the soap production in the craftsman's workshop has reached a large scale. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, it is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of soaps per day. In the small rooms in the craftsman's workshop
They all make soap.
The craftsman's workshop has absorbed many apprentices, and the compulsory course for these apprentices is to learn how to make soap. By this time, Jia Rong is no longer afraid of others mastering the soap making method, not to mention that the craftsman's workshop is tightly guarded, but any apprentice who enters must follow the regulations.
The time is not allowed to go home until the Chinese New Year and the holidays, which is much stricter than the paper factory.
The entire Han Dynasty sells about 150,000 pieces of soap every month. The demand for soap has been basically rationed in each county. Every month, Xianlian Pavilions in various places will receive a certain amount of Xianlian on time. Soap is a consumable product, so there is no need to worry about sales.
.
Mi Zhu was very sensible and did not ask about Jia Rong's production method. For such a confidential matter, unless Mi Zhu completely stepped into Jia Rong's circle, Mi Zhu just wanted to maintain this cooperative relationship with Jia Rong and get what they needed.
.
This time, Mi Zhu exchanged 5,000 pieces of ordinary soap and 5,000 pieces of scented soap, which just offset the amount of food. Mi Zhu also spent the 20,000 guan he carried with him to Jincheng County in order to thank Mi Zhu for his long-term support to the Xiliang army.
For help, Jia Rong gave Mi Zhu 50,000 pieces of fairy love on credit, which really moved Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu built a grain and rice store in Jincheng County and sold it completely according to the ordinary market price. This time it was completely voluntary. As a businessman, Mi Zhu had extraordinary eyes. From Xianlian Pavilion to Jia Rong, he
I can feel that the future development of Jincheng County depends on Jia Rong's strength. Only by helping a person before he has truly grown up can he remember it firmly. The icing on the cake is never as good as providing help when the time is right. This is why Jia Rong is willing to give Mi Zhuwu on credit.
The reason why Ten Thousand Dollars of Immortal Love.
In order to ensure the normal supply of soap in the craftsman's workshop, Jia Rong changed the limit on the number of soaps in Xianlian Pavilion in the city to 5,000 pieces.
Mi Zhu left with more than 60,000 yuan of fairy love and was satisfied. Ten carriages could fit the 60,000 yuan of fairy love without affecting his other business. Before leaving, Mi Zhu took away about ten thousand yuan worth of fairy love.
Wan Guan's war horses will be exchanged for grain, grass and iron next time, which are what Jia Rong needs most at the moment.
Looking at the fairy love on the carriage behind him, Mi Zhu felt satisfied for a while. Among the 60,000 pieces of fairy love, 20,000 pieces were scented and could be sold for an estimated 300,000 yuan. The ordinary ones worth 40,000 yuan could be sold for about 30,000 yuan.
One hundred thousand guan, unlike Xianlian Pavilion, Mi Zhu can choose to sell it in places where there is no Xianlian Pavilion, so as to obtain the maximum profit. The cost of 600,000 guan is only 260,000 guan.
In order to be safe on the way back, Mi Zhu rented 200 cavalry from Jia Rong at a high price. The value of these things behind him was 700,000 yuan, so Mi Zhu could not afford to be careless.
Currently, there are about 100,000 dan of food and grass in the city, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops to consume for five months. Jia Rong is not satisfied with the food and grass. In troubled times, only when there is food at home can one truly feel calm.
Xianlian Pavilions in various places released a shocking news. The ordinary Xianlian in Jincheng County is sold for only three guan, while the scented one is sold for seven guan. The items exchanged can be food, iron materials, furs and feathers, etc.
After hearing the news, the businessmen were surprised and rushed towards Jincheng County.
