It immediately became extremely popular, and suddenly there were a lot of watermelons in the entire capital. Although the price was a little bit more expensive, who wouldn't want to try it?
Who doesn’t want to use this auspiciousness to bring some blessing to themselves?
In an instant, Haolong Tower across the capital was experiencing a buying frenzy.
Although five hundred yuan is very expensive, how can ordinary people afford this kind of thing?
Five hundred yuan is equivalent to half their monthly income.
Buying melons is an unthinkable thing.
Naturally, the buyers are from the emerging class, who have extremely strong spending power. Since the Dog Emperor said this is auspicious, then they naturally have no reason to doubt it.
Five hundred yuan is worth the auspiciousness!
"so many people?"
Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao casually inspected a shop. They sat in a teahouse on the second floor and looked at the people selling melons downstairs.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but show an astonished expression on his face: "When did the capital have so many rich people!"
Zhang Haogu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is always no shortage of rich people in this capital!"
"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao was slightly startled: "There has always been no shortage of rich people?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Exactly, Your Majesty, you must not underestimate this group of guys. A considerable number of these people are still gentry in the past, but now, they have begun to do business, and they have made no less money.
, I just don’t like to be public, so I seem to be more hidden!”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said: "Then, how rich are they?"
"A lot!" Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you the specifics, but it's easy to make tens of thousands of yuan a month!"
Tens of thousands of dollars a month.
In the past, it only cost a few dozen taels of silver.
Zhu Youxiao thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but said: "How many people can make tens of thousands of yuan a month?"
"I think it's quite a lot. In the entire capital, I think there are probably 70,000 to 80,000 people who can do it!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.
"So many people?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is different from the past. Before, we were always looking for the output of the land, but now it is more about the income from trade. We purchased a large amount of wool from Mongolia and made wool products.
, and there is cotton, which is extremely popular nowadays, not to mention overseas, even in Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Now, in some areas of Mongolia, cotton has begun to be planted. I hope that cotton can be exchanged for Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and then Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can be used to replace salt, grain, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and
These are the sweaters and cotton-padded clothes we provide to the Mongolians!”
"In addition, we also need to produce a large number of looms and textile machines. It is impossible for a single merchant to produce these. There are many of them. Naturally, an upstream and downstream industrial chain must be formed. For example, Taicombo is responsible for
To produce looms, Zhou Kui produces parts for him. Overall, I don’t know how many people make money in this!"
"Master is talking about economic warfare!" Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said: "I know that it is to make the Mongols completely dependent on us and take the initiative. We don't even need Ming to do anything, as long as we
If you wish, you can instigate the Mongols to kill each other at will!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Haogu laughed: "Your Majesty, this is the charm of economic warfare. In this process, we make money and let the other party use our currency. Although, in a short time, we may not be able to weaken
Mongolia even seems to be making Mongolia gradually stronger. However, if things go on like this, we will cultivate our talkers and our spokesmen among the Mongols. They will do everything possible to get closer to the Ming Dynasty and do everything they can to get closer to the Ming Dynasty.
Find a way to join the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "You mean, let Mongolia be completely included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhang Haogu nodded: "Yes!"
Zhu Youxiao secretly took a breath, but he couldn't help but feel a little expectant in his heart.
Conquering Mongolia is what Taizu always wanted to do, but unfortunately, it has never been successful. Similarly, Chengzu thought the same way, but it is easy to defeat the Mongols. You can even defeat them once or twice.
, three times, ten times.
However, it is not that easy to conquer the Mongolian lands, and there are various reasons for this.
The roads are impassable, the garrison consumes food, and the economic benefits brought by occupying Mongolia are not large enough, etc.
But……
If he could really conquer Mongolia and expand his territory, this would be a particularly attractive story for Zhu Youxiao. After all, what Taizu and Chengzu had failed to do was to let him
Zhu Youxiao has finished it, and I feel very excited just thinking about it.
After this, who would dare to say that he is a fool?
When he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao felt very happy.
"Mr. Ye!" Zhang Haogu looked at Zhang Haolong who was approaching and said with a smile, "How about it?"
"Brother, Brother Zhu!" Zhang Haolong said with a smile: "A total of one hundred watermelons were purchased today, and they are all bought!"
"It's 50,000 yuan a day today?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
Zhang Haolong nodded: "Yes!"
hiss!
Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, with an expression of surprise on his face: "I see, even if we purchase 500 pieces a day, we can still sell them, 250,000 a day, that's 250,000 a month."
That’s seven and a half million!”
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Haogu coughed and said with a smile: "Don't say that, it's still a matter without a shadow. Wait until we make this money, and then we can say these words, and then,
It’s not these watermelons that make the bulk of our money!”
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, master, what you said makes sense, make money, make money!"
Zhu Youxiao felt happy when he thought of making money.
There was no way. Ever since he ascended the throne, the court had been poor and had no money. Later, when he became rich, his expenses increased and he was very poor. This almost became Zhu Youxiao's ideological seal.
"Good dragon, tomorrow, you will say that this watermelon will be purchased in limited quantities. In addition, the watermelon will be auctioned with a base price of 500 yuan. Each bid must not be less than 50 yuan. The highest bidder will get it!"
Zhang Haogu thought for a while, looked at Zhang Haolong and said: "We need to raise the price high, get more people to think about it, and get them to find ways to build glass greenhouses!"
"Understood!" Zhang Haolong immediately laughed: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
