Chapter 361 Business Plan, Spring Planting
After arranging Lin Qianzhong’s people.
Xie Ling took the couple to the warehouse where the snow salt was stored.
There were two salt fields in Sinan before.
As the number of people increases, there will naturally be more workers.
Xie Ling added two salt fields, for a total of four salt fields.
After the crude salt is refined, the monthly output of snow salt can reach about one thousand stones.
The warehouse is very large and newly built. Each floor is painted with tung oil, which is absolutely moisture-proof. Nearly a hundred heavy soldiers are also stationed to guard it.
Based on the current amount of salt stored in the warehouse, if all of it were sold, the amount would probably not be less than 10 million taels of gold.
There are nearly a hundred iron racks on each floor of the warehouse, and on each rack there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes.
Xie Ling casually opened a box, revealing snow salt that was as white as snow.
Lin Qianzhong and Caiyi were both blinded by the dazzling white light and were dazed for a moment.
When I looked again, I was horrified.
Lin Qianzhong was very surprised. "Is this salt? My Lin family also has a salt-making business. Even when it is supplied to the royal family, it is not so fine!"
Caiyi reached out her hand and gently pinched a little, her eyes slightly widened, "Xie Ling, do you really want to let us sell this for you? Do you trust us so much?"
Once snow salt is on the market, it will inevitably be snapped up by aristocratic families from all over the world. The supply will exceed the demand, and it will definitely be a profitable business.
Lin Qianzhong also looked serious and stared at Xie Ling.
Xie Ling chuckled.
"Of course I trust you very much. We are friends, right?"
Lin Qianzhong and Caiyi couldn't help laughing.
Maybe a person will have many friends in his life.
But absolute trust is so rare.
Not only Xie Ling trusts Lin Qianzhong and his wife.
On the contrary, they also trusted Xie Ling.
All seven kingdoms knew about Sinan's rebellion.
Before, they only agreed to the County Magistrate Gu Wei.
However, when Gu Wei became the King of Nanwei and became the overlord, the situation became complicated, but they still fulfilled their promise under pressure.
Even during this period, Lin Qianzhong became the head of the Lin family.
He is not just one person, but the entire family of the richest family in Yunqin State, the Lin family.
Yunqin and Sinan are not in a hostile relationship for now, but the situation is complicated. If the Lin family is discovered by the Yunqin royal family due to carelessness in the future, it will be a disaster.
But Lin Qianzhong was still willing to risk his life and cooperate with Xie Ling.
Xie Ling felt a warm feeling in her heart.
He stretched out his hand and high-fived the two of them, his eyes sparkling, and said generously: "I am lucky to have friends like you."
Lin Qianzhong's colorful clothes also smile
"So do we."
All my thoughts are unspoken.
The three of them sat down cross-legged casually and discussed on the spot how to trade snow salt.
There is no doubt that snow salt will be suppressed or even banned by the courts of various countries.
But what if he raised the price first, sold part of it to the court at a low price, and sold the rest normally himself?
Thus.
The imperial court could also profit from it.
Even if snow salt is not promoted, it should not be suppressed deliberately.
After hearing Xie Ling's plan, Lin Qianzhong and Caiyi's eyes widened.
I didn’t expect Xie Ling to be so smart!
Xie Ling continued, "Sinan is just starting to develop. It needs a lot of money. So, I want my people to learn how to do business with you. Do you mind?"
Caiyi smiled: "Of course not. Even if you don't tell us, we will ask you to send some people to follow us, otherwise we will not feel at ease."
After discussing the details, it was time for both parties to agree on pricing.
Xie Ling said 40% to 60%.
She is six and the Lin family is four.
Rejected by the couple.
They just helped sell things and didn't do anything else, so how could they have the nerve to ask for four cents?
Moreover, with so much snow salt, even one-third of the profit would be enough for the Lin family's income for half a year.
Lin Qianzhong talked until his mouth was dry, and finally decided on a 30:70 split.
The Lin family caravan had more than one ship. Lin Qianzhong had not expected that Xie Ling had such a large stock of snow salt, so he only sent one ship over.
After the agreement was reached, Lin Qianzhong immediately asked his subordinates to go back and drive the boat.
There are all kinds of goods in Lin Qianzhong's merchant ship, including silk and spices from Xiyao, hairpins and clothes from Yunqin, and various rare ornaments from Wei Zhao...
He was worrying about how to clear out these goods. When Xie Ling found out, she simply asked him to open the ship's hold and sell them at Sinan Wharf.
The people bought it with centimeters, and she would convert the centimeters into silver ounces and give it to him.
Sinan has a lot of projects recently, including cement roads throughout Lingnan, an expanded canteen, a school, a public bathroom, a pharmacy...
The people actively participated in the construction project and everyone made a lot of money. Just when they were worried about where to spend the money, Lin Qianzhong came.
Lin Qianzhong’s products are of good quality, affordable and novel in style.
But they were snatched away by the people in just a few days.
Lin Qian had an idea again—why not come to Sinan specifically to do business in the future?
Half a month later, the Lin family caravan arrived in Lingnan.
Nearly thirty large ships occupied the entire dock, looking majestic.
Xie Ling sent Jiang Wanyi and the Gao family to go along.
In addition to helping sell snow salt, the second thing is to expand the industry.
Xie Ling wants to develop the business of the Seven Countries, not just snow salt.
She wants to have a foothold in the fields of cosmetics, clothing and food.
The modern business knowledge she possesses cannot be wasted.
The most important thing for this trip is to investigate the market and make friends with local dignitaries, which will make it easier to do business.
The night before leaving, Xie Ling called a meeting with the Gao family.
"This time, you should buy seven or eight shops in the busy areas of the capitals of the seven states. Once you have investigated the market, you can officially start selling next time."
Gao Wanhua nodded. "My brother and I have already cultivated a large number of confidants who are familiar with business and can be used for this purpose. But Aling, have you decided what to sell?"
Xie Ling: "For food, hot pot and milk tea. For clothing, new styles of rouge and powder, silk and satin. These are for now, otherwise it will be too eye-catching."
"it is good."
The Gao family is very careful in doing things.
He saved all the money Xie Ling gave him, and calculated every penny to the utmost.
This job is tiring.
Even though it’s just buying a shop.
In fact, we also need to observe the location of each store, the area, what is sold in the surrounding area, the development of other industries in the city, the relationship between the leading industry and the powerful, and whether the backing is strong...
Everything must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise the store cannot be opened.
Xie Ling is assured when the Gao family does things.
All her properties in Lingnan were handed over to his family to manage, and everything was clearly listed and very detailed.
Xie Ling sometimes sighed that the people they met during exile were so nice. They all had their own strengths and were able to solve many problems.
Otherwise, Sinan would not have developed so well.
The next day, after sending them off, Xie Ling went back and began to research the products that would be put on the market.
Hot pot restaurants are simple, the dishes can be bought locally, and the most important thing is the hot pot base and dipping sauce, as well as the service.
Because everything comes to life after the spring rain, as long as Xie Ling’s hotpot becomes popular, there will definitely be many imitations in the local area.
There must be something that can catch the customer's eye.
The service is just like the Haidilao before the modern apocalypse.
Base material, now under study.
Having not cooked for a long time, Xie Ling took the culinary genius Qiuyue to study the hot pot base for two days. Finally, they mastered the subtle differences between various ingredients and wrote a perfect hot pot base recipe.
After entering the hot pot restaurant in Sinan, it has received unanimous praise from customers. Everyone says that the recent hot pot soup base is more delicious.
At that time, peppers were not yet popular in the Seven Kingdoms, so Xie Ling planted peppers in the hot spring cave in Xiaozhou Mountain.
It should be enough to handle it for a while.
As for the milk tea shop, Xie Ling did open one, but because the weather was too cold before, not many people came to buy, so it was not as popular as the cake shop.
As for the types of milk tea, Xie Ling planned to make four or five simple ones, such as pearl milk tea, lemonade, double skin milk... and then combine them with some traditional sweet soups from ancient times to set up a dessert shop.
There are cakes and snacks, milk tea and sweet soup, as well as private rooms where the girls can chat.
The target group is noble ladies.
The weather in Sinan has been getting warmer recently.
More and more students come to the milk tea shop. Boys and girls gather together, either finishing their homework or holding a cup of milk tea, discussing their teachers and various interesting things in school.
Xie Ling was in a trance and thought she had returned to the modern era.
Under the instillation of my philosophy of respecting the elderly and loving the young, Sinan's children are well protected and very energetic.
Boys respect girls, and girls are not forced to work and get married.
Every time Xie Ling looks at these, she becomes more motivated to work and build a better Sinan.
The weather is getting warmer, the spring is bright, the green branches are swaying, the wind is blowing, and the butterflies are flying.
The endless green hills of Sinan are completely dyed green by the spring breeze. Looking around, it is all green, and people's mood becomes better.
After the rebellion, the entire south was under Gu Wei's control.
In general, it includes three major regions: Lingnan, Jiangnan, and Southern Fujian.
Gu Wei changed his name and the whole family was called Sinan.
Jiangnan is a vast region with simple folk customs.
Gu Wei sent Ren Pingsheng to assist the former Jiangnan Governor Zou Ming in implementing the public cent system.
Southern Fujian is difficult to govern. There are many ruffians and hooligans, many troublemakers among the people, and the people are tough.
Gu Wei sent Zhou Ci Sui, who was quick-witted and short-handed, and led another 20,000 soldiers over.
As time goes by.
Throughout the South, the centimeter system was gradually implemented.
As for basic infrastructure such as schools, canteens, military camps, and cement roads, they are still under construction.
Shi Yue has never had a moment of leisure and has been working around the clock.
The common people and officials have gone from being at a loss at first to being like fish in water now, and have skillfully used the centimeter system to benefit themselves.
Of course, what makes people most happy is food.
People eat for food.
After Gu Wei came to power, let alone adults and children going to school together, the last thing they cared about was eating!
Three meals a day, eat as you like!
Potatoes are delicious no matter how you cook them: roasted, stewed, fried or boiled.
Although there are fewer ways to cook sweet potatoes than potatoes, eating two of them will fill you up. They are quick and easy to cook. Just cook one before going out and set it aside. You don’t have to worry about it getting cold, as it’ll keep you full all day long!
The people in the south now truly worship Gu Wei as a god. They have specially carved Gu Wei's portrait next to their ancestral tablets and burn incense to worship him every day.
The people suddenly realized, and finally realized little by little—
It turns out that the government also cares about the people!
It turns out that officials also care about people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation!
It turns out that soldiers are also gentle and polite!
Long cement roads extend in all directions, connecting the entire south, connecting the hearts of the people, and closely nestling around the Sinan government office.
If we were to say where the seven countries are most united today, it would be Beijiang Sinan.
The grass grows and the warbler flies in February, and the willows are drunk in the spring.
After the spring rain, the annual busy spring season arrives.
No matter what, agriculture was still the most important thing for ancient people.
Sinan already had a vast territory. After the rebellion, Jiangnan and southern Fujian were also incorporated, so more land needed to be planted.
The school was closed for three days, and the soldiers did not train but went to sow seeds.
Xie Ling and Gu Wei, as well as a group of civil servants and officials, also went down to the fields to help.
In fact, for civil servants, the busy spring sowing season is like a holiday!
Who understands? They are really exhausted!
Organize documents, register centimeter amounts, upload and issue notifications, and train new junior civil servants...
Haven’t the other two rebel factions banned civilians from leaving the city?
Why are there still so many people?
Sinan's good reputation spread more and more in Beijiang.
Food and lodging are free, children can go to school for free, and as long as you are a scholar, you don’t have to take the imperial examination, you can become an official if you pass the examination…
It's like a dreamland.
The people wished they could grow wings and fly to Sinan to find out what was going on.
Naturally, they became increasingly dissatisfied with the rebels.
But what if I’m dissatisfied?
We still have to submit to their tyranny.
But no matter what time, there are always people who commit crimes against the wind.
The same is true among the rebels.
Many brave people, bringing their families, climbed the mountains and took small paths to cross dangerous rapids.
I arrived in Sinan quietly.
At the gate of Sinan City, there were nearly a hundred civilians escaping from the rebels every day.
....
Not to mention civil servants, for officials, spring planting is a novel experience, just like an outing.
The officials who remained in Beijiang were all talented pillars of the country.
In the past, they have been buried in state affairs and books. They were so busy that they had no chance to work in the fields.
The spring sunshine today is dazzlingly bright, the sky is very clear and blue, without a trace of impurities.
As the spring breeze blows, the willows beside the fields sway gently, and occasionally a few swallows fly low, adding a different touch of color to the green fields.
The swallows stretched out their scissor-like tails and looked at the clumsy people in the field with their dark eyes.
The square fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and the winding canals flow like silver silk.
The officials rolled up their trouser legs and tied their hair.
Some were weeding with hoes, some were sowing seeds, and some were squatting on the roadside, learning how to clear the canals like the farmers.
They all have one thing in common—clumsy movements.
This field is next to the fields of the people next door.
The common people had already finished sowing and were preparing for the next plot, but the officials had not even planted halfway.
The people couldn't bear to watch and wanted to come over to help, but they were afraid of hurting their self-esteem, so they just pretended not to see it.
In the top terrace, Xie Ling was weeding along the edge of the field with a sickle.
Spring had just passed and the field ridges were already covered with dense weeds.
After half an hour of construction, the field ridge in front of Xie Ling had only half of the yellow mud left.
As she was cutting, Xie Ling's eyes lit up. She put the sickle into her backpack, took out a small hoe, dug into the edge of the field, and then gently pulled along the vines.
A whole earlobe was pulled off by her!
The cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata in spring is really refreshing.
Last winter, Qiuyue and her friends smoked bacon. It must be delicious when we stir-fry the bacon with watercress later!
When working in the spring, what could be more enjoyable than digging up delicious wild vegetables?
Xie Ling put the Polygonum multiflorum into the backpack.
Not far away, Gu Wei was turning the soil.
