Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

So fast
"Ah, to grow watermelons, where do we get watermelon seeds? The land in Jincheng is very cheap, but where can we get good seeds." An old man who was following Li Jun was scratching the back of his head and had a headache.

"Let's go to West Asia to sell sugar, then buy dried fruit, and bring some jade or something, isn't it good?" Another old man who is also used to international trade said a little dissatisfied. Watermelon is good, but farming is too difficult. big.

To engage in international trade, as long as you have suppliers, channels, and contacts, you can make money without losing money.

The reason why Liangzhou people can afford international trade is not because they have connections and channels?As for the suppliers, you can trade with the Qiang people to buy this kind of thing.

Although the official order prohibits the Xiliang people from oppressing the Qiang people, but in the way of doing business, when buying things from the Qiang people, the men in Liangzhou dare to pat their chests to ensure that they will not be killed by the Qiang people as pigs. Buying at a low price can at least guarantee parity.

This can't be regarded as bullying. I pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and asked the other party what the price was, and the other party gave a price, and I would raise it.

Although this is also playing hooligans, there is really no way to pursue this.

Relying on the purchase of materials from professional suppliers, and then relying on their own channels and connections, they resold sugar, raw silk, etc. to West Asia, earning a lot of income, and then purchased dried fruits, olive oil, jade, etc. on the spot, Sell ​​together and buy new materials.

After a trip, as long as the combat power is strong enough, it only takes about a year. It is said that it is running around, working hard, and earning some hard money, but in fact it is really a lot of money.

This is also the key to the survival of Li Jun's cavalry. Although everyone is a brother from Liangzhou, they still have to support their families. International trade business, as long as the upstream and downstream are connected, it is actually quite good. The only shortcoming is the communication. Too much trouble.

A trip can take half a year at least, and it may take a year or two at most. Even if you can make a lot of money by taking a trip, it is better to stay at home if you are orphaned or widowed.

That's why Li Juncai came to Niyang to take a look during the intermission period after finishing a wave of business last year. After all, he was doing business in China and wanted to come back. I'm three or four years old, I haven't been home for a year, and I don't know each other when I come back.

Being a father is also unavoidable, so he is thinking about transformation.

"The God of Wealth is showing the way." Li Jun looked at the two old brothers and said, "The ones who just passed by were Taiwei Xuandegong and Shangshupushe Chenhou. Although I don't understand why growing watermelons in Jincheng can make money, but this kind of Big man, there is no need to trick us."

When the brothers around heard this, they all showed shock. Some of them had seen Liu Bei when they were counting soldiers, but they really didn't know each other after a long time. Now that Li Jun pointed it out, the vague impression instantly disappeared. Right there, without any hesitation immediately.

"Growing watermelons, although I don't understand why growing watermelons can make money, I still have to listen to God of Wealth's guidance." After realizing who they met before, a group of people immediately gave up their thoughts, yes, God of Wealth is guiding the way Woolen cloth!

"Litou, you really know the Taiwei, and you gave the Taiwei food before, and the Taiwei ate it directly. It can be seen that it is very trustworthy." The old brother on the side said immediately. I thought Li Jun was bragging.

"Of course, I was a well-known man back then. If I hadn't met that beast of the first assistant, his uncle, those animals were too cruel." Li Jun blew away immediately, and his leg was the soldier of the first assistant. interrupted.

It could have been connected, but it took a long time. After time, the military doctor's skills were not in place, which caused Li Jun to become lame. Although he was still very powerful in combat after installing the prosthesis, he was still discharged. After all, the elite under Li Jue's command The competition for cavalry is too fierce.

Then I didn't blow it up, and I was ridiculed by the brothers around me, and then a group of people started to expose the old story, which soon turned into a crowd of yelling and cursing.

"You actually asked them to grow watermelons in Liangzhou. This is not a source of income. There are a lot of fruits grown there, but due to transportation constraints, dried fruits such as raisins are the mainstream. I remember you were in Liangzhou The processing workshop here is mainly to make raisins, wine and so on." Liu Bei recalled and said.

The most important raisins in the entire Han Dynasty, dried goji berries and other things basically come from the west of Liangzhou and Xinzhou, and the output is very sufficient.

Even the main workshops that Chen Xi built in Liangzhou and Xinzhou, except for cotton, raisins, wine, wolfberry, pepper, red dates, beef and mutton, are basically small-scale self-produced and sold. Apples, white apricots, and cantaloupe are all locally produced and sold, and they cannot be sent locally.

"Actually, there are many more. I have also built a lot of workshops over there." Chen Xi said with a blank expression, "But one thing is very good. Dried fruit is indeed the mainstream."

These days, dried goji berries can be considered as a kind of dried fruit. Even someone who ate them as red raisins for a long time didn't think there was any problem.

"Then you let that guy grow watermelons, isn't that a scam?" Liu Bei said angrily.

"That was in the past. It's different from this year. Xianhe will definitely complete the laying of the logistics channel of the main road this year. As long as there are no mistakes in the calculation, the efficiency of logistics transfer will be enough to support watermelons from Jincheng to Chang'an." Chen Xi Said calmly.

From Jincheng to Chang'an, if you really want to say that the distance is long, it is not very far. The real distance is about [-] kilometers. Of course, it would not be possible to transport it before. Even if it is transported, the cost will explode, but now it is not. same.

For things like logistics, the cost of sending a small item and sending a large item is actually the same if the upper limit is not broken in a single shipment, so the process of logistics operation has a very high demand for mathematical statistics.

To put it simply, the jurisdiction covered by a certain logistics park can reserve enough supplies for the transport team to be fully loaded when the next batch of transport teams arrive. That is the optimal situation, because at this time, the cargo volume is the largest. And the cost per unit weight is the lowest.

What's more, the location of the logistics park just happens to cover an area that can support the operation of the logistics park. Even if it doesn't make money, as long as it doesn't lose money, it will be profitable for this kind of operation.

Therefore, a very important point in developing a logistics park is that the logistics park must have enough material distribution, that is to say, the scale of sending here and from here is just enough to carry, which is the best result. This kind of thing is unrealistic, and it is necessary to consider the collection and distribution comprehensively, because logistics generally calculates the freight rate according to the unit weight.

If these nodes were not opened before, of course they could not be transported. Now that Jian Yong wants to open up the nodes, even if it is to reduce losses, it is actually a good thing for the local area to start producing large-scale materials that can be transported.

"That is to say, after Xianhe opens up the logistics channel in the Western Regions and arranges them, the local watermelons can actually be shipped out?" Liu Bei wondered.

"Yes, not only watermelons, but all kinds of fruits can be shipped here, and the cost is very low, because no etching technology is required, no need to build large-scale etching insulation warehouses, Jincheng is only a thousand miles away from Chang'an, as long as the watermelons are not opened , the shelf life is more than ten days, and Xianhe is an intercity logistics, if you change people and horses for transportation..." Chen Xi looked very calm.

Not to mention changing people and horses, after it is done, it will definitely be a starry night. According to the garbage horses, they can walk [-] miles per hour to pull goods, and work three shifts in the middle, and they can run four to five hundred miles a day. At the beginning of the year, the groom was worth about a thousand dollars a month, which was spread on average to each watermelon head, and the shipping price might only be two or three dollars.

Jincheng’s watermelons went to Chang’an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and a whole big watermelon only increased by two or three renminbi, not to mention scarcity, and proper parity sales were profitable.

More importantly, it also solves some personnel work problems. The advantage of intercity logistics is that many employees can go home every other day, which is acceptable to most people who do not want to leave their hometowns anyway.

To be honest, if this is unacceptable, then even if Chen Xi establishes a local township enterprise, it may not be able to solve any problems.

Of course, this kind of work must be done on a very large scale, starting with 10,000+ mu, otherwise the freight rate will not be equal, so whether Li Jun does it or not, Chen Xi will definitely set up a farm there next year to build a 10,000+ mu farm, after all Watermelons these days, even after the cookies have been domesticated, don't have a high yield, and the damage to the soil is terrible.

But it doesn't matter, the Han Dynasty may lack other things now, but there is no shortage of places where watermelons can be grown. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land, at worst, can only be planted in rotation.

Liu Bei gasped after listening to Chen Xi's introduction, this is too outrageous, is it really so efficient?Jincheng's watermelons can be sent directly from Jincheng to Chang'an in two to three days. Doesn't this mean that troops can be sent from Chang'an to Jincheng?
Why was the Battle of Jincheng so difficult back then? To put it bluntly, isn’t it because the Han Dynasty had a problem with its ability to deploy troops?With such a crazy delivery efficiency now, Liu Bei thought it would be no problem to blow the heads of the rebels. Don’t look at the garbage of the Lingdi Dynasty, but the opponents who are close to the Lingdi at the same time, there is a high probability that they can’t beat the ticket of the Lingdi. generals.

"Isn't this normal? I spent almost ten years improving the infrastructure bit by bit. Now it's the summer of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, so I'm going to make some achievements." Chen Xi looked proud, and Liu Bei was speechless. can be said.

　I saw someone asking why a small item worth a few dollars was sent directly to your home by someone else. This is actually the result of the logistics calculation, because you are not the only one who shipped it. The total unit weight is calculated, and you only account for the total unit weight. It’s less than one percent, plus the whole journey is equivalent to adding weight to your weight, but the overall distribution of logistics required for this kind of needs must be sufficient, otherwise you will die, so Guo Kai’s ability is very terrifying, put him now Can be the father of many industries that require optimal solutions for industrial distribution
