Looking at the desolate valley in front of me, I imagined the profits that would come from building workshops, building carriages, and doing logistics and standard bureau business here, and the idle labor force that could be absorbed.
The corners of Shen Lie's mouth raised slightly.
Stretched.
He seemed to see four-wheeled carriages, loaded with all kinds of expensive high-end goods, flying along the official road with the official flags planted in the East Factory.
Highlighting a safe and efficient one.
high speed!
My Dongchang dares to take care of the escorts that other escort bureaus cannot handle. I dare to take the expensive goods that other escort bureaus dare not accept. The goods that other escort bureaus take ten and a half months to deliver.
It can be delivered to our Dongfang factory in three days!
Just ask.
How can those private escort agencies that use old oxen to pull broken carriages compete with Dongchang?
Think about this.
Shen Lie turned around excitedly and asked expectantly: "How is it?"
look up.
Bai Guangen and a group of guard generals standing next to him were already dumbfounded by this business story, and their expressions were as if they were looking at a monster.
"Why?"
The old white man was dumbfounded and let out a soft cry.
Although it is unclear.
But he couldn't figure out how to make sense, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is wise."
Whether it's running an escort agency or doing logistics and warehousing, it doesn't matter which one is faster and which one has better business.
Moreover.
Would a big boss in the silk brocade or tea business care about a small shipping fee? Although this business may not necessarily be hugely profitable.
But no matter how you look at it, you won’t lose money.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Bai Guangen and the others nodded frequently, looking at Shen Lie who was becoming increasingly calm, his dim eyes rolled, and he began to think about how to get his daughter to pass as soon as possible.
After all, she was a confidant of the emperor and a business genius. It was great that the daughter of a veteran guard officer could be a concubine for such a person.
"cough."
The veteran glanced and coughed lightly.
The elders in the Wei Palace nodded understandingly and chuckled a few times: "It's cold today, so I've prepared a few glasses of wine in the hall, and I'd like to invite you to enjoy them."
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
"please."
After some pleasantries, everyone walked towards the dining room.
Once you close your eyes, once you open your eyes.
Then another morning came.
again.
After drinking Shen Lie, he turned over and sat up with a splitting headache. He rubbed his painful temples and suddenly realized something was wrong.
When I sniff my nose, I can smell the faint fragrance of my daughter's house.
It's a familiar smell.
Lower your head.
Then he saw the flower-like girl lying next to the pillow, sleeping like a crabapple in the spring. Her little face with melon seeds upturned was sleeping peacefully. Her eyebrows were curved, her mouth was slightly upturned, and her straight nose was so exquisite.
It's Bai Zhenzhen.
Putting aside her style and manners, she is not inferior to Zhang Jingxiu in terms of appearance.
And on the bed.
There is a mess behind the storm.
Looking at the bright red spots on her neck and the long eyelashes that were blinking slightly, Shen Lie couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, so he whispered.
"Are you awake?"
Stop pretending.
Bai Zhenzhen opened her bright eyes and looked over shyly, her picturesque eyebrows filled with shy spring.
The red lips were slightly opened and she called softly: "Mr. Lang."
Shen Lie said with some pain: "Last night..."
I drank it to pieces.
Can't remember.
Bai Zhenzhen smiled sweetly and said softly: "Don't blame me, Sir, my father wants us to... get pregnant with a child as soon as possible, so..."
Shen Lie was speechless.
in this way.
It's easier to get pregnant, right?
Silent for a long time.
Shen Liecai said angrily: "Your father... I'm afraid he has some serious illness!"
If you want to have a baby, just say so.
It's not like I can't do it.
Why do you have to get me drunk?
Looking at him angrily, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile sweetly, and the jade face covered by her black hair turned an attractive blush.
"Giggle."
This smile is alluring.
Shen Lie's mouth became a little dry.
Hold her in your arms.
As if holding a piece of precious porcelain in his arms, Shen Lie said softly: "Wait a minute...I here...can only carry a sedan chair, and the matchmaker is marrying you."
He took a concubine just a few days after his marriage.
Not suitable.
Even if my beloved wife at home doesn't object, I'm afraid the Grand Master's face may not be at stake.
Bai Zhenzhen responded softly: "Yes."
Her husband is a master at painting cakes, whether it is acting, style, or conversation, he is top-notch.
But if you eat too much cake, you will get tired of it.
Miss Bai is a very smart woman with a delicate heart. She doesn't care about status. Anyway, it's good to be like this.
certainly.
It would be better if I could have a child.
At this time, the sun was shining from outside the window lattice.
There is spring in every room.
A few days later.
Sunny day.
The fields in Tianjin Zuowei have been deeply plowed, and farmyard manure has been spread. Thanks to the strong vitality of potatoes and sweet potatoes, even some hillsides that were difficult to cultivate in previous years have been cleared.
Bai Guangen has decided to replant all terraced fields with low yields and difficulty in watering to sweet potatoes.
even.
He also planned to ask someone to use Wei Zhong's remaining money to buy more than a dozen cows, a few stallions and some old sows, ready for breeding when the spring warms and the flowers bloom.
You won’t know if you don’t buy it, but you’ll be shocked if you buy it.
Real money goes out.
Only then did Shen Lie know that the price of horses in the Wanli tenth year had become ridiculously expensive. A group of two-year-old healthy horses cost forty or fifty taels of silver.
A batch of stallions can be sold for hundreds of taels!
But a farm cow only sold for ten taels of silver.
That’s outrageous!
But Shen Lie remembered talking to Li Rusong about horses. In Liaodong and Mongolia, the number of Mongolian horses in this era was actually overrun.
A high-quality horse in Mongolia, even in the Jurchen territory of Liaodong, would never be sold for more than five taels of silver.
Then comes the problem.
Who made this ten-fold price difference?
No need to ask.
Thinking of those Shanxi horse dealers, Shen Lie suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder.
The Eight Shanxi Merchants emerged from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In just a few decades, they quickly completed capital accumulation and replaced the Yangzhou salt merchants to become the most wealthy imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty.
It turns out the secret is here!
No wonder the Ming Dynasty was short of horses.
Who can afford to buy the Mongolian horses that flooded the grasslands to look like this? It’s no wonder that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, elite cavalry from various guards once dominated the world.
It will disappear day by day.
In the end, they were rushed to pieces by the Houjin cavalry riding Mongolian ponies.
The case was solved.
The secret lies in the crazy hype of horse prices. In these days, the price of a horse can be as high as a house in the inner city of the Ming Dynasty!
"Okay!"
Shen Lie quickly stopped Bai Guangen and said, "Don't spend this unjust money. Please take out the money and give it to Mr. Li Rusong."
Let Young Master Li buy horses from Liaodong, the price difference is more than ten times.
"oh……"
Vaguely.
Shen Lie seemed to understand something.
No wonder.
In later generations, the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, no matter which party gained power, would desperately intervene in Liaodong and risk the disapproval of the world.
Kill Mao Wenlong, who is doing shipping business in Pidao!
turn out to be.
The adults are all attracted to this big fat piece of meat.
It turns out it was all about money.
at this time.
Shen Lie's heart was as bright as a mirror, and he had a clearer understanding of the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty.
There was nothing wrong with Liaodong.
But if you raise it too fat, there will be problems.
