Chapter 3191 Routine

If Ju Hu hadn't said the last words, others might still be immersed in the grandeur of the old Yuan family. But after Ju Hu said those words, these people who had been hanging around in the court for more than ten years, or even decades,

The old guy still can't react.

Both of them suddenly realized that they had a considerable understanding of the Yuan family's thoughts. Even using this method, it can be seen that the old Yuan family is still very short of people.

"I think there are some other problems." Liu Ye glanced at the courtiers present, and finally whispered to Jia Xu and others.

"This is just a purpose, a purpose deliberately exposed." Chen Xi suddenly said. Others may not be sensitive to this aspect, but such methods have been used too much in later generations, and Chen Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Sure enough." Lu Su glanced at Ju Hu and said, "I used to wonder why Ju Hu was so careless. But now that you say it, I think it makes sense."

"The Yuan family has probably discovered the problem. It's not that they have no money, but that they have enough money but can't buy supplies." Chen Xi raised the corner of his mouth and sent a message to Jia Xu and others.

"Can't buy supplies?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows. Jia Xu had never encountered a time when he had money but couldn't buy supplies. The Han Dynasty had always been short of money, and was still barely rich in supplies. Many

Sometimes silk can be directly used as hard currency.

"Well, after all, this is the land of Wang Xing. There is no shortage of mineral resources or anything like that, but just because those things are not in short supply does not mean that the most commonly used materials are enough. The current development of the Old Yuan family is likely to have locked up the annual output of materials.

In addition, it is quite far from the Central Plains, and there is no way to buy it. If you have money, you have nowhere to spend it, so now you are creating the look of a person who is stupid and has a lot of money." Chen Xi said to several others in a teasing voice.

"That means money can't be converted into food, grass, and equipment, right?" Lu Su figured out the situation in a few seconds and couldn't help but smile.

"Well, that's it. Things like gold, silver mines, and gemstones are luxuries. When people are rich, they will become human pursuits. But when basic materials cannot satisfy them, those things are just a joke." Chen Xi smiled.

He said with a smile, "Old Yuan's family can't digest so many things themselves, so they are also thinking of ways."

In fact, this is an economic method. If the old Yuan family wants to just farm, it will not be a big problem. If they want to make a fortune, it will not be a big problem. But this is splitting the soil and dividing the grass. Without any fighting power, the old Yuan family cannot stand at all. Don’t look at the old Yuan family now.

The Yuan family tried their best to arm some of their elites, but Chen Xi could guarantee that the old Yuan family had basically used up all their steel reserves by doing this.

Unlike precious metals like gold and silver, which are extremely difficult to smelt and only require mining to solve the problem, steel is one of the most basic indicators of the country. Since the possession of iron tools, steel production has basically been on a par with the country's combat effectiveness.

Number.

A large part of the reason why the old Yuan family can hold their noses and accept the Celts is that the Celts are one of the earliest peoples in the world who can make iron. As far as the current situation of the Yuan family is concerned, let alone one hundred thousand blacksmiths

If we cut it off by two-thirds, the old Yuan family of 30,000 people will be left alone.

In addition, the technical strength is not enough, the management knowledge is not in place, and the local blast furnace has not been invented. The blacksmith of the old Yuan family can only achieve this level.

Since the supplies are not enough, the only option left is to buy. After all, the Yuan family has a Han Empire behind them. Compared with the situation of the Yuan family, the Han Empire is rich in supplies, and the money of the old Yuan family can be used in the Han Dynasty.

In exchange for a large amount of supplies.

However, this involves another problem. The Yuan family and the Han Dynasty are now too far apart. The distance back and forth would be a big loss for transporting basic supplies.

Even though the old Yuan family has repeatedly said that they are rich, businessmen are not fools. I have traveled so far and the road is so difficult. To send basic supplies there, I might as well go to Media and sell silk on the way.

This is very embarrassing. Even the merchants won’t go to the old Yuan family. The only thing left is to go to Rome to buy equipment. The problem is that Rome is not second-rate. You can buy luxury goods such as gems, jade, pearls, and agate.

You can buy whatever you want, but the iron items will be detained for you as soon as they come out of customs.

In this way, the last choice of the Yuan family is that I send a large sum of money to the Han Dynasty. The merchants who sent it to the Central Plains all realized that my Yuan family also had a way to make money. Then in order to make money, everyone worked together to contribute money and people.

The road is being built, well, actually it is not a matter of money. If the Central Plains is willing to send people to build the road, it will be no problem for the old Yuan family to pay for it themselves.

However, the old Yuan family did not dare to say this, for fear of scaring people away if they did. This is no longer a money issue, it is purely a people issue.

The estimate given by Xun Chen is that it will take five years for the Yuan family to build this road alone, taking into account a series of problems such as frozen soil, and various families in the Central Plains will join forces to defeat the group of guys who are currently operating various businesses in the Western Regions.

It basically only takes two years to get on board.

After all, the road from the west of Yumen Pass to the Western Regions has now been built. After Sima Lang took charge of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, he really communicated with the kings of various countries in a gentle manner, while threatening the ministers of various countries with knives to organize manpower to build domestic roads.

Now the Thirty-Six Kingdoms have been forced to mobilize and work hard to build the roads in the Western Regions to the level of the originally planned county roads. In this way, what the Yuan family needs to do is to connect their own roads with the roads in the north of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms.

superior.

Only when this road is built and business can be carried out, with the idea of ​​not running out of business, major businessmen will bring some of the luxury goods that are in short supply to Sizhao City when purchasing them.

supplies, at that time, the old Yuan family can blatantly purchase whatever they want. After all, it is a business transaction, and everyone needs to understand it.

Even the old Yuan family has even thought about their own future business name, but there is no way. The five wealthy merchants are not the same thing. None of them has joined the old Yuan family. There are no die-hards of the old Yuan family in the chamber of commerce. So the old Yuan family is now thinking, you guys

If these bastards won't let me play with you, I will just build my own shop when the time comes, specializing in selling all kinds of top-notch luxury goods.

I didn’t see that the gem mines of our old Yuan family are all at the level of tribute to the royal family. What is yours? Look, this is the royal gem mine, and mine is right next door!

As for whether this routine will offend Roma, it doesn’t matter to the Yuan family. The mine is right next to it. How can you stop me from selling it? Supporting the Yuan family means supporting domestic production. Roma is garbage. Xu You even thinks about the slogan for the future.

alright.

Of course, the most important point is that things like gem mines. In the past, when the Han Dynasty did not play with it, they did not think it was valuable. But since the Romans sent cut gems to the Central Plains, the blazing luster has greatly attracted people.

Women's eyeballs, and then it's over.

The price of gems has soared. The old Yuan family felt a little sorry if they didn't use this to cheat money. As for the problems caused by the Romans' gem exports due to their own large-scale sales of gems, the old Yuan family no longer cares about it.

, I have to take action anyway, who cares.

Since we are destined to fight, we, the old Yuan family, are not allowed to disgust you two.

With this attitude, Lao Yuan's family first came to a royal tribute level emerald. There is nothing more attractive than being labeled as royal. As for the mine, it is just money to buy the road. Don't be afraid, I have more than a dozen large mines and dozens of mines.

It's a medium-sized mine, so it won't hurt to use one for OEM!

"I really didn't expect that the old Yuan family actually thought like this." Jia Xu said in surprise. To be honest, if Chen Xi didn't explain, even he would have been concealed inadvertently.

"Cooperation will benefit both sides, and given the current situation, I feel heartbroken to pay the IQ tax to Rome every year." Chen Xi said with a smile.

It was agreed that the Han Dynasty would supply silk and Rome would use gold coins for settlement, but in the end, gems and jade were used in the final settlement. After all, compared to gold coins, Rome was rich in gems and had no shortage of jade, and the former was a hard currency.

The latter is a luxury product.

Although for most people, there is no difference between the two, there is a difference for Chen Xi and Pompianus.

What Pompianus really wanted to say here was that he did not fully understand what the difference was, but this did not prevent Pompianus from thinking that it would be more cost-effective to exchange gems and jade, so he delayed it until the end of the Han Dynasty and Rome.

The settlement method is gemstone, jade and silk.

Fortunately, the consumption power of jade in the Han Dynasty was extremely high, and as long as the cutting level of gemstones was high enough, the consumption power of women was also explosive. And with the damn mathematical level of the Romans, the level of gem cutting was indeed very high.

It was scary, so Chen Xi converted all the things he got into money internally and injected them into the industry.

But if you really want to say it, Chen Xi is still quite unhappy, because this kind of exchange is equivalent to charging each other's IQ tax. Although both Pompianus and Chen Xi have made a lot of money, they are still unhappy.

of.

Therefore, Chen Xi would rather let the IQ tax be taken away by the Yuan family than by Rome. At least the former is a proper one of his own, while the latter is only a hypothetical one.

"IQ tax?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

"You didn't buy any gems for your wife?" Chen Xi asked casually.

"How could I not buy it? My wife has finally become interested in foreign objects. I can't help but buy it. I bought a lot." Lu Su said very proudly.

Ji Xiang is normally neither good nor evil, without self or morality. Of course, that was in the past, and now he is somewhat humane, but his own needs are actually very low. However, it was extremely rare before that he was attracted by shining gems. Of course, Lu Su is

Buy, buy, buy!

Lu Su, who had dozens of arms, was chopped off and only two arms were left. Although he was a little heartbroken, seeing that his wife was in rare need, Lu Su was very excited to buy it.
