Before the imperial edict was issued, Ji Wuyin and Caobang's fleet returned to Liaodong County with food filled in the cabin.

Large ships docked at the port terminals of Fangxian and Anshi respectively, and all 50 shi of grain were moved ashore and secretly transported to granaries in various places.

Things must have a beginning and an end. This time, Lu Songli also went to Fang County in person to meet with Lin Shan. "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, it's really thanks to you this time. This is 50 taels of silver, please accept it."

The 50 taels included the freight cost for Caobang to transport 100 million shi of grain to them and the subsidy she had promised to Caobang before.

The total of these two sums of money does not actually cost 50 taels, but Lu Songli is willing to pay a high amount.You know, without the cooperation of the Caobang, things in Nanyang would not have gone so smoothly.In the future, they will have many opportunities to use Caobang.

"President Lu is so generous!" Lin Shan gave her a thumbs up.

Lin Shan and several stewards from Caobang calculated how much money they could earn at most this time.

Caobang used to help grain merchants from various places transport grain, charging normal prices, transporting millions of shi of grain, and earned a total of 20 taels.

Later, grain merchants from various places asked him to help transport the grain back, so he directly raised the price, doubling the asking price to 40 taels.

In fact, he can understand why grain merchants in various places refuse to work.The grain merchants calculated their accounts and realized that it would be a huge loss to transport the grain back.

Nowadays, the price of grain in various places is between 160 and 180 yuan per bucket, but the cost price of grain received by grain merchants in various places should be below 160 yuan.When they transport grain to Nanyang, they must add transportation costs. If the price per bucket is increased by twenty or thirty cents, the cost will be one hundred, eighty or ninety cents.At that time, the price of grain in Nanyang was soared to 280 Wen per bucket. They felt that they could still make a profit by transporting the grain there, and they would make a lot of money.

But after grain merchants from various places shipped the grain, the Ji-Liao Alliance raised the price of grain to 120 yuan per bucket.

Caobang doubled the return shipping fee and sold it directly, making a loss of about [-] cents per bucket.If they had to go through the trouble of transporting the grain back, the manual freight, etc. would add up to a loss of seventy or eighty cents per bucket of grain, which would be a huge risk.

After this calculation is clear, it is not difficult to understand that grain merchants from various places are unwilling to transport grain back.

If there was no agreement with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, their cao gang would go out in full force this time and earn all the round-trip shipping costs for grain merchants from various places. At most, they would only earn about 50 to [-] taels.

After all, helping grain merchants from various places transport grain back home, we definitely can’t double it. If we don’t do it, we can at most add a little to the original price.

After settling the accounts, he and several stewards felt that as long as Lu Songli gave them no less than 30 taels of silver, they would have earned it.

They had secretly guessed that Lu Songli would supply them with up to 30 taels.Unexpectedly, it exceeded expectations.

In other words, under Lu Songli's arrangement, they actually earned 70 taels on this trip!Thinking about it makes me excited.

"For the subsequent 50 shi of grain, I have to trouble Deputy Gang Leader Lin and the Cao Gang."

"Okay, the remaining 50 stones of grain will be wrapped up by me, Lin Shan." Lin Shan patted his chest and said.

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate?" Lu Songli said with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. If the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce needs to use Caobang in the future, President Lu can just ask."

"Ok."

Later, after Ji Wuyin learned that Lu Songli had given Lin Shan such a large sum of money, he took the initiative to bear half of the expenses.

Ji Wuyin knew very well that this time, they were able to earn so much food because of Lu Songli's strategizing.

He felt that there would still be such opportunities in the future, and he also wanted Lu Songli to take him to make a fortune together.

The two parties declined for a while, but Lu Songli saw that he really wanted to give, so she simply asked him to calculate his side's costs. After removing the costs, they would share the profits equally.

Ji Wuyin has nothing to answer for.

Nanyang

In Nanyang today, under the leadership of the government, local and foreign businessmen in Nanyang are actively responding to the call. Large-scale construction and large-scale entertainment activities in Nanyang are already in full swing.

After Zhang Xian left, Nanyang County Governor Weng Yuan and Ji Dashao Wu Ren discussed the matter and held a banquet, inviting wealthy businessmen from Nanyang and other places.

The local wealthy businessmen came reluctantly. Because of the situation in Nanyang, this banquet was obviously a Hongmen Banquet, and the government made it clear that they wanted to beg for help.

Foreign businessmen were even less happy. Nanyang was a sad place for them, and they suffered a heavy setback.The invitation from the Nanyang government was probably out of good intentions.

But since they were all invited, they all had to give the government some face, so they all came.

At the beginning of the banquet, when the invited wealthy businessmen saw Wu Ren and Mr. Ji sitting at the VIP table, they were all unhappy.

For the local wealthy businessmen, although they did not join the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce organized by Che Jiuming, they saw the opportunity to make money, so they hoarded some grain.

Then the Ji Liao Alliance and the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce started a price war, and they were all affected, and they all suffered losses to some extent.

For foreign grain merchants, the Ji-Liao alliance is the main culprit causing their losses.When they saw the leaders of Ji Liao Alliance at this time, they naturally didn't look good.

But all this changed because of a new thing used at the banquet.

They were all conquered by the soaps, soaps, shower gels, shampoos, fine wines called baijiu, high-quality and cheap snow-gloss paper, and all kinds of neatly written unique books that appeared at the banquet.

The merchants who are now invited to stay are all very visionary and capable.They can already imagine how popular these new gadgets will be if they sell them back.

These new gadgets whet their appetites.

What did shopkeeper Wu Da say?I understand, what he means implicitly is that they didn’t make any money in the last wave, so this wave gives them opportunities, so they don’t know how to cherish them.

They cherish it and must cherish it!

Then what did the Sheriff say?Do you want to renovate the government offices and renovate major buildings?Are you going to hold events such as temple fairs, dragon boat races, singing operas, etc.?Give them more support?

That must be supported!

Not only do they support it, they also plan to open a shop in Nanyang and exchange ideas with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce!

Since then, the rich have begun to spend money like water. Nanyang is building land every day and requisitioning a large number of migrant workers. The people's livelihood in Nanyang is gradually recovering.

For Tao Xun, he thought he had stumbled upon Nanyang and his party.Unexpectedly, in a twists and turns, a great opportunity awaits him.

Now he has negotiated some cooperation with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. He used the 6 taels stored in Ji's Bank to trade with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and buy a batch of liquor.

The two sides cooperated happily, and now their relationship is as good as the best, and they often get together to eat and drink together.

"No wonder you are doing well in business. It turns out that you have so many new gadgets in Liaodong County." Tao Xun sighed.

"Our Liaodong County is rich in products. If you have the opportunity, you can go and take a look. But the reason why we do well in business is not just because there are many new items."

"Yes, you do well in business because you know how to make money and food disappear." Tao Xun complained.

Wu Ren just laughed and said, "Hey, don't be like this, we have to look forward. If you sell the liquor from our Liaodong County, you can make back the loss of food several times."

Tao Xun: That’s all he can think about. Is he still trying to get into trouble?
