Chapter 392 Joint Venture
"Brother Zhifu, what if I join forces with the Soju Workshop with the Inner Storage Deposit?" Wang Ju asked.—}{x}].
"What are you doing?" Zhang Feng said in surprise.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Since ancient times, can there be workshops jointly operated by officials and private companies?" Zhang Qing asked back. The warehouse is a royal business and also an official business. This is why this "joint venture" method does not comply with the rules. It is either public or private. Or like the Song Dynasty's law, if you buy wine, music, salt, tea, and even you can pay for your own profits and losses, it has nothing to do with the government.
Zhang Feng said again: "And wouldn't this be great? If you get involved in the storage, you will have many unfreedoms."
This is his second reason for opposing it.
Now the money is in the hands of Li and Zhu families, or Wang Ju. No matter which person is in the hands of them, they can use it themselves, can fund national, civil, and military. They can use it whatever they want, and they are not afraid of being greedy.
When you arrive at the warehouse, God knows how much money will come in handy in the end, and it is not free to use it.
"No, there is not enough manpower."
"There is not enough economic people? If you can trust them, I will write a letter back. Our Zhang family still has some economic people."
Not every Zhang in the Zhang family lives a good life. For example, Zhang Dun is a miserable child, but Zhang Shi is from a good background and has a good reputation in the Zhang family.
"Your Zhang family is not good either," Wang Ju said decisively. The Zhang family has enough staff, but may all the people who know how to conduct business will be transferred to him?
"Zi'an, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Qing asked strangely.
"That's right," said Wang Juzheng.
"Zi'an, you are a civil servant. You can't control this matter. If it's a small amount of money, just take care of it. Where can you get so much money? Even if there is one, you can't. If it's really done, you'll have a big deal." Zhang Feng advised kindly, that's really a sure thing to raise private soldiers.
"Brother Husband, I'll open the skylight and speak loudly. Mr. Cai understands military affairs, but he is also old."
"yes."
"Not only are they old, Sun Mian also gained some light from behind Di Qing. Then he entered the Privy Council. He made such a great contribution, but continued to stay in the border, and was willing to accept it. Looking at Xixia again? Xixia lost Suizhou and established the country from Xixia, not from Li Jiqian, but only the share of our dynasty's territory. When did they lose their territory? Their situation was not very good the year before and they did not recover last year. I'm afraid this year is not good, but they will almost recover by next year. Do you think they will take revenge?"
"I'm afraid it will."
"The northwest is still not peaceful. But after Duke Cai, who will the imperial court choose to serve as border ministers?"
"you……"
"I can't escape, but you can't escape. But the banished soldiers are too heavy to use. Is it a pity to be so impatient for such a huge army to be here?"
"I still don't understand."
"If you and I can solve this problem, what will the soldiers think? Brother Hui, think about Wu Qi's military use."
"Really buy..."
"Buy a ghost, do you want to rebel? This is called winning a little favor in advance," Wang Ju said, and his mentor began to instill the military tactics of Cai Ting. Later, Cai Ting brought the military tactics to the court. This is the origin of the military tactics. Wang Anshi also didn't understand the military tactics very much. However, after the military tactics were released, the imperial guards had not yet become better, and they were rotten to the bone.
"Brother Husband, do you say that in a thousand years, people in the world know much Li Feng or Di Qing?"
"Di Qing," Zhang Qing said with a wry smile. In fact, since now, few people have known Li Qing.
In history, Song Lizong painted statues of heroic officials in Zhaoxun Pavilion, including Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Yin, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lv Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan, Lv Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Bi, and Zhao Ruyu.
Wang Jumoming.
Xue Juzheng just barely went in, why did Shi Xizai also go in?
Even Zeng Gongliang, Han Qi and Fu Bi have entered, where is Kou Zhun? What did Han Zhongyan do? Is he the son of Han Qi? Sima Guang is just a disciple, so why can Qin Hui's gangster Lu Xihao be ranked in? Zhang Jun can be ranked in, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Yu Shiwen?
However, some people are more accurate in ranking, for example, Li Han beat Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian. In fact, during the Xianping rule, although Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian have a great reputation, they are far inferior to Li Han's contributions.
But there was only one treasure in the Song Dynasty, Li Yan. Wang Dan reduced the version of Li Yan, but compared with Li Yan, his wisdom was far inferior to that.
Wang Ju knew Li Ying's contributions, and Zhang Ju knew them well. But where can the people know them?
"I did a good job in the civilized dynasty, but my martial arts are too inferior, and I have the reputation of being a historical record. When you and me, there is that Wang Shao."
Zhang Feng was also a little excited when he instigated, but he shook his head: "Zi'an, it's up to me to pour cold water on you. This is more than one million stale money. How much soda wine should I sell to raise it?"
"It's not shojiu..." Wang Ju shook his head. This regional protection policy for wine made the bitter taste of shojiu. The Song Dynasty's market was the largest market in the world. If it cannot be sold in this market, the profit will always be limited.
"I got it, that kind of snow candy and rock candy."
When Wang Ju mentioned the name of this snowflake candy, he was ridiculous and hilarious. There were sugar sugar products in the Song Dynasty. The high-end one was frosting, which was actually a gray-yellow block made of colored rock sugar, followed by stone honey, sugar juice and starch, and alum. In addition, it was directly sold sugar water and pressed sugar cane into sugar juice for sale.
There is no sugar, no white sugar, and no rock sugar.
Therefore, when Wang Ju was very young, he thought of sugar. However, at that time, his resources were limited, so he could only think about it and could not do it.
Until the beginning of cotton the year before yesterday, he thought of sugar again.
But at that time he was faced with a confusion, that is, the best frosting was not the frosting in Lingnan, one was the Suining frosting in Sichuan, and the other was the Siming frosting in Zhejiang. The Panyu frosting in Guangnan East Road was the second most frosting.
This made him suspect that the sweetness of Lingnan sugarcane is not keeping up now.
However, it may also be another reason, that is, there must be very cold weather to effectively precipitate the sweetness.
At that time, he was just a guess. Unless he used the special handings from the court to send Siming sugarcane to Guangnan in a very short time. Compared with the two, even if the difference is not big, Ge Shaohua might still think Siming sugarcane is sweet because of preconceptions.
However, although the records in "The Book of Things in Heaven" are very short, with only about two hundred words, they also say four words: after the winter old cane, that is, it must be soaked in cold weather. This is a good time to get sugar. But there are three words in front of it. Is the kind of winter in Guangnan in Fujian, is it also effective in Guangnan?
Whether it succeeds, let’s try it first.
Because I have to soak in winter, I come out relatively late and it is not transported to the capital until the end of the year. It is still transported by a fast horse, otherwise it will be even later.
The method is also simple. All are produced according to the method of "The Art of Heavenly Works", and the effect is not very satisfying to Wang Ju.
However, judging by the people's reactions, the people of the Song Dynasty were satisfied.
After arriving in the capital, rock sugar was still rock sugar, but sugar made Zhao Niannu change it to snowflake candy. This name made Wang Ju speechless.
But it is exactly the opposite of frosting. The purple frosting, the better, and the grayer, the worse. This sugar is whiter, the better, with yellow next, and brown the worst. Only one-twentieth of truly white and flawless.
If you want to be even whiter, it is industrial sugar making. In the Song Dynasty, there were no conditions at all, or if there were those conditions, Wang Ju didn't know its technology. There was also glass. It would be strange if you really burn sand to make good glass! This is not simple either.
"Brother Husband, how do you know?"
"Your concubine deliberately sent someone to give me some to try."
"She gave it?" Wang Ju was so amused and crying.
“How much does that sugar cost?”
"It has to be seen that the whiter the snow candy of this kind, the better. Twenty pounds are less than one pound of real jade-colored sugar, four pounds of white sugar, five pounds of light yellow sugar, five pounds of yellow sugar, and five pounds of brown sugar. The brown one is very poor and not very sweet. On average, the cost per pound is about six or seven cents. The rock sugar used a lot of egg whites will be even higher, about thirty cents per pound. But this is just a rough idea, and it also depends on the cost of local sugar cane and other materials."
"This will be huge profits." Zhang Shi said.
Why? Because a pound of high-quality frosting is often calculated in a silo, even the second-rate frosting costs hundreds of cents per kilogram.
At least it looks much better, that kind of rock sugar is obviously much better.
"Scarcity is precious, but if there are too many things, they are also not expensive." Wang Ju said.
"Just like that kapok?"
"Brother Husband, did you buy it too?"
"Zhujing is afraid of the cold. When she saw this thing, the smell smelled good, so she bought two beds. How much does it cost to have a bed?"
Wang Ju said with a strange expression: "Strictly speaking, it costs only 400 cents per bed."
"Oh, these people are really bad."
"Brother Husband, don't complain. Guanzhong's sales are not expensive, only twenty cents, and the capital city finally sold it to thirty cents."
"If there is such huge profits, there is still a chance."
"No, it turns out that I plan to plant this year. First of all, there is a cost issue. Secondly, I have to reclaim fertile fields. Finally, the migrant people have insufficient costs. The time for reclaiming fertile fields is urgent. The three departments set up kapok department, and the migration people are tight. These three are restricted. The scale is too large. However, there was no other plan at the beginning. I don't care if it is smaller. But Yao Lin desperately said that I can have a solution."
"He really dares to think about it."
Of course, it is also a good thing to make good use of this kind of worship and trust, but it really makes Wang Ju feel embarrassed at the moment. He continued: "But after thinking about it, there is another way. That is, join hands with the warehouse without planting."
"Zhejiang cane and Sichuan cane?"
"That's right, manpower is a problem, and dealing with locals is another problem, and the cost is also a problem. If the warehouse is involved, these problems can be solved. And if the warehouse is involved, there is no need to worry that someone will impeach me to raise private soldiers."
"Zi'an, but this is not in line with the rules."
"If it's not, why should I ask you?"
Zhang Feng took a few steps, but still found it difficult, and finally said, "You'd better ask the official family."
But he took a few more steps.
"Brother Husband, what else do you want to say?"
"It's another thing. I didn't plan to take care of it either, nor did I have the right to take care of it. Therefore, it's better to take less than more things, but if you say it, I can't stop talking."
"What's up?"
"horse."
"horse?"
"I received a message that some of the injunctions sold their war horses privately."
"What," Wang Ju's face changed immediately. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
