Chapter 121: Cows and Sheep Everywhere

Jiang Sining was greatly encouraged when he saw the message sent by Qingyu.

The place she asked Qingyu to go was the Middle East. Now they are there, and she said it is amazing there. Could it be that the locals are already using oil?

But it turned out that she was overthinking.

Qingyu said it was magical because it was at the foot of Tianshan Mountain and there were cattle and sheep everywhere. It was so cheap that only a few kilograms of salt could be exchanged for an adult goat.

"Madam, do you want to conquer them?"

Jiang Sining's mouth twitched. Conquer you, you big-headed ghost?

Countless facts have proved that using force to conquer a place and oppress and exploit the locals, although it can bring huge benefits at the beginning, will inevitably backfire over time.

The United States and the West in the past are the best examples.

The best way is to do business with the locals, which will lead to a win-win situation for everyone and even build a community with a shared future for mankind.

"Are the locals hostile?" Jiang Sining asked.

"No, they are even very enthusiastic towards us." Qingyu replied, "And they only know how to raise cattle and sheep. They don't even have some decent houses, tools or weapons."

"Then we should do business with them properly," Jiang Sining said, "We should sell them whatever they need."

After a while, Qingyu sent a list.

Jiang Sining took a look at the items on it and found that they were roughly what she had guessed. Salt, iron and cloth were the most needed items, and various bamboo and wooden furniture were also in great demand.

It seems that Liuyun Village’s production scale has to be expanded again.

So Jiang Sining gathered more villagers from nearby villages and started to mass-produce bamboo products and furniture. He also recruited more than a hundred women, who began to collect flax, jute, and sisal non-stop and then weave them into linen.

As for high-end goods such as silk and satin, we need the help of Mr. Huang.

So she transformed herself into Master Xiao again and came to the home of Mr. Huang.

When he heard that she needed a large amount of high-quality cloth, Mr. Huang agreed without hesitation.

"We have many people in Gaochuan County who have close relations with merchants from other places," said Mr. Huang. "I can unite them and buy cloth together. What do you think, young master?"

“The more the merrier.”

"Haha, okay, I'll go right away."

Having received so many benefits and favors from Jiang Sining, Mr. Huang had already trusted him immensely. Without even asking how the cloth was sold after purchase, he immediately sent someone to invite all the wealthy families in the town to his home.

When everyone heard that it was Young Master Xiao who wanted the goods, they did not hesitate too much. As the deposit was quite a lot, they immediately sent people to various places to buy cloth.

It is estimated that the first batch of goods will arrive in half a month at most.

"Also," Jiang Sining said, "In addition to buying cloth, I also need a large amount of salt and iron."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Salt is easy to deal with, but iron is a government business, and merchants like them usually don’t dare to touch it. Whoever touches it will be in trouble.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you want iron for?"

"Don't worry, I'm not making weapons and armor," Jiang Sining said, "I need a lot of iron just to make farm tools."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved. It should be possible to make farm tools. After all, the quantity needed would not be large. If everyone helped to buy some, there would not be much for each person.

So the purchase of cloth, salt and iron was settled.

Jiang Sining took out some more things at this time. Everyone knew what they were talking about. When they saw that these were actually precious spices, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Mr. Xiao, these things are not easy to get. Where did you find them?"

"Ahem," Mr. Huang coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, this is Mr. Xiao's business, let's not ask any more questions."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was someone's way of making money, so how could they just say it out loud.

But if there are a lot of spices, then it's a huge business and everyone wants a piece of it.

"I have a lot of spices," Jiang Sining said, "If you want to buy from me, it's not impossible."

"Mr. Xiao," said Mr. Huang, "Just tell me what conditions you have."

"I have no other requirements, just two words, unity." Jiang Sining said, "Let's make money together, don't cheat each other for a little profit. As long as you can do this, I will supply more and more profitable things in the future. But if anyone violates this principle, don't even think about getting goods from me in the future."

Everyone immediately expressed their willingness to cooperate in a friendly manner and work together to do this big business.

Jiang Sining asked them to set up a chamber of commerce, with Huang Dashan as the president, and all the distribution of goods was decided by him. This undoubtedly greatly improved Huang Dashan's status, and Jiang Sining also believed that he could arrange it fairly.

Half a month later, the first batch of cloth was delivered to Liuyun Village, a total of thirty carts.

Jiang Sining distributed the cloth to Qingyu and Xiashan. As soon as they put the cloth on display in the local area, they were enthusiastically welcomed by the locals.

This was high-end merchandise from Daxia. The natives, who were still basically in a tribal state, had never seen it before. They all paid to buy it, and thirty carts of cloth were sold out in just a few days.

In return, they received mountains of cattle, sheep, fruits, grains, and a variety of spices.

Jiang Sining then gave the spices to Mr. Huang, and asked the Chamber of Commerce to distribute them throughout Daxia.

With enough food and money, Jiang Sining planned to expand the production scale and develop some other products.

The first choice is definitely porcelain.

Since ancient times, China has exported silk and porcelain in exchange for large amounts of gold and spices, so she felt that the same could be true in the world of this book.

However, making porcelain is a little more difficult and requires skilled craftsmen. Gaochuan County does not produce porcelain and the soil is not suitable, so this matter has to be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce for procurement.

But Liuyun Village has to do it, it just makes low-end products, such as tiles, washbasins, toilets, etc., nothing too exquisite.

Old man Zhang is now busy supervising the villagers to make bricks every day. When he heard that they were going to make porcelain, his brows frowned.

"Mrs. Jiang, how can we make that?" Old Man Zhang said, "Also, firing porcelain requires coal, and we don't have any here."

"If you don't know how to do it, just try it. You will eventually figure it out," Jiang Sining said. "I will also invite a specialized master from another place. You will need to bring more people to learn from him. As for coal, I will have the Chamber of Commerce purchase a large amount."

I originally thought that five space gates would be enough, but when I used them, I found that it was far from enough. Why didn't Si Chenan hire more guards?

The tile matter was temporarily arranged, and as for the purchase of coal, Jiang Sining thought about it and decided to let Qiu He leave the barbarian tribe.

There weren't many cattle and sheep left to buy over there, and she wasn't too comfortable leaving him alone there.

"Ma'am, shall I come back?"

"No, you are going to Bingzhou."

Qiu He was a little confused.

To be honest, Bingzhou is not as good as Northern Xinjiang. At least there are grasslands in Northern Xinjiang where cattle and sheep can be raised.

But Bingzhou is just endless barren mountains, and not even grass grows on many of them.

"The treasures are buried under those barren hills without grass." Jiang Sining said, "Go to the local area to gather the villagers, give them enough food and money, and ask them to dig up the hills. I need a lot of coal."
