Chapter 652: There is a lot of demand for exchanges in the north
“It’s really profitable,” Yan Xizhe, the Minister of Revenue, said with emotion. A boat went out for a few days and earned 20,000 guan, and one clam was worth ten copper coins
p>"It can only be sold a few times, and the overall amount of money is limited. When I sold it to them, it was 200 yuan per catty. If they sell it again, they will increase the price."
Li Chang shook his head, it was too much. It is no longer valuable, and everyone’s purchasing power cannot keep up.
Let everyone have something fresh to eat first, and then come back on the next ship. The price needs to be reduced a lot, for example, twenty cents per catty, and one cent for a large clam.
Ordinary people would not buy it. They only need a few pennies to have a full meal, but they are not satisfied with eating clams. The money is gone.
“When packing, both sizes are needed, and then sold separately. The big ones are more expensive, and the small ones are naturally cheaper. Forty yuan per catty, twenty yuan per catty.
The common people can buy a pound for a day and still have money left over. If they cook forty, a few can be eaten by the whole family.
Instead of going so far, let people pick up shellfish offshore and bring them ten cents. For a pound of money, the people can have enough to eat.
In Suzhou, Songjiang, Shaoxing, and Hangzhou, there is no need to carry too much coal and coal on board. "Water, transport 1,800 dan,"
Yan Xizhe came up with the idea. It doesn't necessarily have to make a lot of money. Today's ships can be used to transport offshore quickly. If you make a few hundred guan at a time, it is no longer money.
Even if ten coins per catty, 180,000 jins are still 1,800 guan. Excluding the cost of hiring manpower, 1,600 guan is no problem.
One trip in two days, no, one trip of transportation, 800 guan a day, and 300,000 guan in a year, how much revenue will the imperial court have
One ship Three hundred thousand guan, ten ships
No, it can’t be calculated like that. People can’t eat this every day, and how many are there on the seaside
Yan Xizhe thought about it, and became distressed about the account. How should it be calculated
"Build the ship first, and then sell it. If it can't be sold, reduce the price. The main thing is transportation, not necessarily fishing for seafood."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his own household department Shangshu looked troubled, shook his head, and advised the other party not to worry.
"I am too urgent. Transportation is important. Yes, no matter what he transports, the flow of goods along the Yangtze River will be convenient anyway."
Yan Xizhe wiped his forehead and came out in a hurry. Khan, I found that I was in over my head.
The soybeans were being harvested, and the 2,000-ton ship left again. This time, it did not go to Jiulian City, but brought boilers, radiators, heating pipes, steam engines, generators, light bulbs, and wires. Northeastern Bohai Bay.
It is not called Liaodong Bay yet, and there is no Yingkou or Daliao River, only Sancha River.
Liaoyang is not called Liaoyang, but called Ding Liaoduwei. From there, continuing to the northeast, there is the Hun River in the northeast, flowing from east to west.
Shenyang Zhongwei can be reached from Hunhe, but it does not have this name now, and Fushun is even later.
Currently, Fushun is conducting border trade with the Jurchens and has completed the construction of greenhouses.There is good coal, so good that the coal slime is better than the coal lumps from the coal mines in Guangdong.
There is a large amount of coal and amber, and they are mined in the open pit.
Send heaters and lights to them to boost their morale, and then take the washed coal to Jiulian City and deliver most of the coal to Jiulian City.
There is a coal mine in Jiulian City, but it is buried deep and requires experienced craftsmen to dig wells. The craftsmen are unwilling to go there, and no one wants to dig there. There are trees and they can just burn wood.
Now the ship delivers coal to let the locals try it, and then brings the yellow clams back to Nanjing to sell some of them. This time it is very cheap.
I will use the ship to deliver heaters and lights to Jiulian City next time. Jiulian City also has vegetable greenhouses, and I can make money by trading with Gaoli.
There is cod here, yellow line pollock, which is used to make pollack. The cod is made into dried fish, and the heads are not needed. The heads are worthless and not delicious.
It is a specialty of North Korea and Dandong. When eating, it is usually smashed with a stick, otherwise it cannot be bitten. First, use a stick to smash the dried pollack loose, like smashing uraku grass.
That's how the name "stick" came from. They used sticks to beat clothes on the banks of the Yalu River to wash clothes, and also used sticks to hit pollacks.
At the same time, platycodon is used to make pickles, in the same way as spicy cabbage. The platycodon is dug out, and the bottom is wet like ginseng.
It is not cut into shreds with a knife, let alone cut with scissors. When smashed with a stick, most of the water will be smashed out. The platycodon is smashed into thin strips, like pickles.
This stick is very useful. They can't survive without it, such as smashing ice to catch fish in winter, beating dogs and eating dog meat.
Then pollack is a local specialty, and it is not freshwater cod. Freshwater cod is called burbot, which is more tender, but is not suitable for making pollack.
Cod is the processed raw material for Korean spicy fish. It is particularly delicious and cheap.
In the future, pollack will be transported to Fushun and Shenyang for them to eat. Seafood is not available there, including Liaoyang. The place where there are marine fish is Yingkou, the estuary of the sea.
There is Bayuquan in Yingkou, where Bayuquan is abundant. Some people are allergic to eating Bayuquan, so the dried version is not as good as cod.
It is often canned and made into salted fish. Most of the salted fish in the salted fish cornmeal pancakes is made of it.
Some people who make salted fish are yellow crucian carp. All those who make salted fish are worthless fish and the quantity is large. < /p>
There is a shortage of local people, not to mention the Jurchens. They must catch fish in Liaodong Bay, then dry them and send them to trade with the Jurchens.
The local people, together with the army, can solve the problem of no seafood.
"This is why ginseng cultivation requires planting thorns, and leaving people to patrol and guard inside and outside. The barbed wire is propped up, and the thorns are not removed."
The boat shouldered a heavy burden and ran to Ding Liaodu. Wei, Zhu Yuanzhang did notBeing able to watch the soybean harvest every day, he took people to the place where it was given to Xiaqiu Village, mainly to see the medicinal materials.
The ginseng was transplanted to a shady slope, and other medicinal materials also had their own places.
With the tea saplings, grapes and fruit trees planted, it looks very comfortable.
All routes are paved with cement to facilitate vehicle transportation. The roads are crisscrossed and the uphill parts are S-shaped.
“It’s another paradise. Before I came here, it was still a mess. People were cutting grass to scare snakes and cutting with knives to clear the way.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the planned and built place with emotion. , especially the scattered barracks, some of which are actually very hidden.
There are also many kennels to prevent outsiders from arriving and the guards will not notice.
"Your Majesty, mainly to facilitate harvesting, transportation and planting, we will build an internal railway next year and pick the fruits and transport them to the river for loading. This will save time and effort compared to overland animals pulling carts."
The manager talked about future plans. This area has not been fully utilized yet. The work has to be done bit by bit. There are too many people hired, and there is a shortage of people elsewhere.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "The railway is easy to invest once, and the maintenance cost in the future is low. As long as there are enough goods, it is more cost-effective than using animals.
A lot of iron ore rails have been laid this year. It's a pity that there is no way to build a bridge across the Yangtze River, otherwise the railway will be built. "Please remember to bookmark it.
