I opened a mall in ancient times

The surprise that Songzhi and Kansai brought to him was beyond Luo Chaochao's expectation.

With these things, even if Luo Chaochao does not provide raw materials for a certain period of time in the future, these aborigines can be self-sufficient.

Luo Chaochao felt that this was a bit like a simplified version of the Silk Road, where goods were exchanged between various regions.It can not only promote economic development, but also allow the culture and mutual influence of the two regions to integrate.

Needless to say, Sheng Kingdom's economy and culture are extremely rich in terms of economy, culture and products, making Beidi and the Western Regions very greedy.

Since you are hungry, grab it.

The War of the Three Kingdoms a few years ago took place under such circumstances. They deliberately chose this time. The civil strife in Sheng had just ended. The current Emperor Qing swept away the traitors in the court and became the new master of the Kingdom of Cheng. It was at this moment when everything was waiting to be done, Beidi and the Western Regions chose to attack Sheng Kingdom.

Emperor Qing was so busy that internal and external turmoil came together. Fortunately, Emperor Qing was a rare army of the people. He was very talented in war and management. He finally won the battle with all the power of the whole country. , the three parties signed a peace treaty.

Of course, this is also the reason why the three countries have no money to play.

Under the tacit understanding, the three parties all chose to temporarily truce, and each of them rested and recuperated until they had money.

The two parties have signed a 20-year peace treaty. They are not allowed to invade each other’s territory for 20 years, open border ports, trade with several countries, and develop their economies and strengths as soon as possible. And 20 years is enough time for a newborn child to grow into a young man. Working hard in the prime of life, he became a soldier of Sheng Kingdom.

Luo Chaochao took advantage of this opportunity to seize the time to develop and grow. He was in a hurry, but he would not be greedy for success. Instead, he chose to deal with all the things in hand before proceeding to the next step.

Kansai thinks that Luo Chaochao has great potential to become a great businessman in Sheng Kingdom, and Luo Chaochao also thinks so.

He led the caravan and followed Luo Chao to a newly built warehouse area near the outskirts of Kangzhou City.

Half of this warehouse area is the territory of Luo Chaochao, with the name of Jiushui written on it, and the name of [Kangzhou Textile Factory] is written on the outermost sign.

"I wanted to ask before, what exactly does this textile factory do?" Guanxi finally couldn't help asking when he saw the Kangzhou textile factory everywhere.

"The textile factory I built in cooperation with the government can be understood as a large textile workshop with thousands of people."

"Thousands of people? So many?" Kansai was taken aback. "Are you getting all the embroiderers in Kangzhou City into your factory?"

"That's not true. How could there be such a big face? The people who come to work in the textile factory are ordinary peasant women. As long as they have a little knowledge of weaving, they can work in the factory. Now there are more than a thousand workers working day and night. Shift shifts can barely meet the fabric demand of the entire Connecticut city."

But Kansai felt something was wrong no matter how he thought about it.

Even if thousands of workers weave cloth day and night, they can’t keep up with the demand of the entire Kangzhou City. The population of Kangzhou City is not large, but there are 10,000+ people. Can these thousands of people supply them?

He felt that Luo Chaochao was joking, but when he thought about how many miracles Luo Chaochao had created, what he said might not be true.

The members of the caravan have been unloading the goods, and the wool loaded with nearly twenty carts has also been unloaded, put on small carts and sent to the warehouse, and during the time they kept unloading, there are still Businessmen kept coming out of the warehouse with their own convoys full of fabrics.

And on some trucks being loaded and unloaded, Kansai saw the specific appearance of these fabrics.

There are cheap linen as well as exquisite silk fabrics and satins. The colors are bright and the patterns are exquisite. It is a high-grade fabric that is rarely seen in the north. Although it is not the best, rich people will buy this quality of material.

After getting the consent of the other party, Kansai went to look at these materials, and was a little surprised to find that there were dark patterns and embroidery on these cloths.

"Is this also made in your textile city? The cost is very high, and it will take a month to weave this piece of cloth. If you sell it cheap, you will suffer a lot."

Kansai is skeptical of Luo Chaochao's claim that the price is cheap.

If this kind of material with complicated craftsmanship is sold cheaply, it is simply a scam.

"Not high." Luo Chaochao said. "The price of a piece of this silk cloth is two taels and two hundred cash, and if you buy in bulk, it will be two taels."

Kansai couldn't believe his ears.

The price of a piece of the most common plain silk cloth circulating in the market is about three taels. If the wholesale price is about two taels to five hundred, Luo Chaochao is directly cheaper by one-fifth of the price, and the quality is as good as the market circulation. The quality of silk cloth is about the same.

Even if you think about it with your feet, you will definitely buy Luo Chaochao.

In addition to shipping costs and other losses, the price of sending to other cities is still cheaper than the market price, and they sell at a slightly lower price than the market price, making more money than before.

Kansai originally wanted to come to Luo Chaochao this time, and continue to buy some daily necessities, cosmetics and food from Luo Chaochao to the Central Plains.

He thinks these things are easier to sell, but now it seems that he can also import some fabrics from Luo Chaochao. Instead of going to the capital, he sells them while walking on the road. As long as the price is low enough, he won't worry about not being able to sell them.

Moreover, as long as the cloth is not wetted by water, it is not afraid of falling or touching, and the transportation cost is very low.

"But I remember that the textile industry in Connecticut City seems to be very ordinary."

This is what Kansai can't understand.

Because the commerce in Kangzhou City is relatively developed, everyone wants to do business. They seldom make this kind of handmade products. Even if they do, the quality is not as good as it is.

As a result, Luo Chaochao found another way and started industrialization in the handicraft desert.

"It's quite average, but as long as it's above the average level, our price is much cheaper than the current market price, so the market is huge." Luo Chaochao explained.

There were many people in the caravan, and things were moved very quickly. He took Kansai to see the remaining fabrics in the warehouse.

In fact, there are not many things in the warehouse, only some cloth that is not very easy to sell.

This warehouse is opened for the convenience of businessmen who come to Kangzhou City and cannot sell their goods in time, and the warehouse can be rented on a daily basis.

Luo Chaochao bought half of it directly with a lot of money, and even temporarily built a small house similar to a security booth, and recorded the names of the merchants who came to the warehouse to pick up the goods every day.

Every morning, workers will deliver the finished products of the day from the textile factory. After [-] o'clock in the morning, the buyers of the cloth shop will pick up the ordered fabrics, and the remaining goods will be sold to merchants from other places. .

Generally, the inventory will be cleared in the afternoon. It is already very late at this time, and there are not many cloths left in the warehouse, only a small part of high-end materials that have not been sold out, not only embroidered with dark patterns but also embroidered.

The wholesale price of this horse is 88 taels, and this quality should be sold for at least 100 taels outside.

"Can you really make money at this price?"

"Of course you can make money. If you are free, I can take you around the factory." Luo Chaochao said, "When are you going? Or go to Beidi?"

"I'm planning to go back to the capital." Kansai replied unexpectedly, "My home is near the capital, and it's been half a year since I left this time, it's time to go home to see my family, and I should pack some goods from Kangzhou City. Kansai said, "You have to save some for me."

"That's for sure. Remember to tell me in advance what you want, and I'll keep it for you."

Kansai thought for a while and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow. There should be a lot of new things in your store. I'll go to your store later to see what I want."

Luo Chao Chao naturally readily agreed.

They delayed here for a while before the team unloaded all the cargo.

"Let me treat you to dinner." Luo Chaoxi said, "Eat in a restaurant or in my restaurant?"

"No, no, no, we still have other things to do, we can't eat until we're done." Kansai waved his hand, "I won't waste your time, don't you want to have dinner with your clerk?"

When he came, he saw that Luo Chaochao seemed to be going to eat with the people in his shop, but because he came here temporarily, Luo Chaochao turned to him halfway to get busy with work.

Now that everything is done, he is too embarrassed to continue to disturb Luo Chaochao. Anyway, he will stay in Kangzhou City for three or four days, and it doesn't matter if he will have dinner with Luo Chaochao then.

Seeing that the other party really had no such intentions, Luo Chaoxi sent him away and walked towards the largest restaurant in Kangzhou City.

It was said to be a celebration, but in fact it was just a meal together, and Songzhi himself didn’t feel that there was anything to welcome, but he didn’t disappoint. Instead, when his colleagues asked, he excitedly said that he met someone when he went out. What they learned aroused the curiosity of other employees.

After all, everyone is quite curious about the history and culture of other countries in the world. They are usually busy with work and have no time to go out. They are quite interested in listening to the strange customs of these places, and it is time to eat.

Luo Chaochao could tell that Songzhi really liked the work of traveling merchants, so he simply let Songzhi continue working.

"Have you made up your mind, team members? Do you want to hire a few human players at random, or find the monsters you brought back?" Luo Chaochao asked while eating.

"Actually, I tend to take monsters with me. After all, monsters can go to many more places than humans, and they can protect themselves when encountering danger."

"Arrange it yourself. I won't interfere. It's up to you to do it yourself."

Luo Chaochao didn't care what Songzhi did, but Songzhi remembered something, and took out the horn that Luo Chaochao had given him from his portable space.

Luo Chao Chao was very surprised and said: "Have you met Musa?"

"Yes." Songzhi nodded, "He said that when the year ends, he will go from Chabuchara to the capital to celebrate Emperor Qing's birthday, and then he will pass by Kangzhou City and want to meet you, and he has collected so many things. Help, or I won’t even recognize it.”

Luo Chao Chao was quite happy to hear the news.

After all, Musa is the first person who can be called a friend that he met after he came to this world. Although he didn’t get along for a long time, he unexpectedly liked him. I thought he would never see him again except to go to Chabucha , did not expect such a chance.

"I see, it's hard work for you to take a trip." Luo Chaochao naturally readily agreed, and even looked forward to it.

Everyone returned home happily.

Probably because Songzhi often runs outside, his relationship with other employees in the store is not very good, and there is always a sense of strangeness in getting along with each other in private, but everyone is a monster, used to being alone, and usually gets along That's fine, and it doesn't have to be stuck together all the time, maintaining a normal social distance.

It was lively and lively during the meal, and after returning to the store, I went to work on my own.Songzhi followed Luo Chaoxi to the warehouse to sort out the things he brought back, and by the way told Luo Chaoxi about the current situation of the Western Regions and Beidi.

He and Babak separated in Chabuchala. The other party bought a lot of things from Luo Chaochao, sold them all the way, made a lot of money, and also gained the favor of many royal families in the Western Regions. Rado stayed for a few days, and when he left from Chabuchara, he had already left. I heard that he was in his own country. Nobles with titles can be said to go straight to the sky.

And what Songzhi is talking about with Luo Chaochao now is the business that he and Musa can't talk about openly.

Luo Chaochao disclosed the recipe of Orleans ingredients before, and Musa also brought it back. It quickly became popular in Chabuchara and became the most popular seasoning in the city.

Later, Musa got another sauce bought from Luo Chaochao from another merchant. He thought it tasted very good, and hoped Luo Chaochao could sell him the recipe.

Or he provides the spices, and Luo Chaochao is responsible for the production and sales, making money on both sides.

In later generations, this kind of cooperation would be normal. There are telephones, computers, and airplanes. If there is any problem, you can fly there directly or call to coordinate.

But the problem is that this is ancient times, and the communication between the two sides is very inconvenient. If there is any problem, they can't communicate in time. Luo Chao can never teleport there directly. This kind of cooperation can be called a fantasy, and it is impossible to realize.

Unless the other person is not human.

Of course, Luo Chao Chao knew very well that Musa was a pure human being.

"This kind of cooperation is impossible to implement at all." Luo Chao said.

"I think so too, but Musa doesn't seem to believe it." Song Zhi also scratched his hair, "I've already rejected it before."

Luo Chaochao shook his head, "When you reject him next time, I will write to him and tell him all about it. Does he have any reaction when he receives the things brought to him?"

Song Zhi thought for a while: "I'm very happy, and asked me when I would come again. If he didn't have a country to take care of, he would have come directly."

"I think he wants to eat something delicious." Luo Chaoxi said helplessly, "Have you decided when to leave?"

"I'm thinking about whether to go to the south next time or go to Beidi again. I feel that going to the south will be more profitable." After Songzhi came back, he was thinking about it, "Since there is already a cosmetics branch in the south, I can bring it to the barbecue shop. The seasonings and other fast foods go to the south, but southerners have a lighter taste, and I’m not sure if they can get used to these heavy-tasting foods sold in the store.”

"Actually, you can go to the capital to have a look. Kansai will return to the capital in a few days. You can go back with him."

"Yes, yes... but won't there be competition?"

Both of them bought the same goods. If they went together and went to the Central Plains by the same route, the two groups of people would inevitably have a competitive relationship.

It doesn't matter if there is no interest entanglement, and you can still be friends, but there will really be problems if there is a competitive relationship.

"There are so many routes to the capital, why do you have to take the same route as Kansai? Your main purpose of being a traveling merchant is to be a propaganda ambassador, not time." Luo Chaochao wiped his hands because the seeds and seedlings were sticky. Shangtu said to Songzhi, "I missed it when I went out last time. If you go south and north, I will print more advertisements for you."

There is no way, in the current situation, it seems that only advertisements spread the fastest.

When I asked Babak to sell things, I forgot about it, just remember to tell him not to change the packaging.

For example, when Songzhi went to the Western Regions and Beidi this time, he advertised their store. If it were not too troublesome to travel to and from several countries at this time, businessmen would probably have come to the door.

Song Zhi was thoughtful.

Pine Branch is almost ready to come back, and other businessmen who smell business opportunities...should be coming soon.

Luo Chaochao, who finished his day's work, was just about to fall asleep when someone dug him out of bed. He was the person in charge of the textile factory. He suddenly came to look for Luo Chaochao in the middle of the night, and he didn't know why.

"We caught a thief who wanted to set fire to the factory in the middle of the night." The manager of the textile factory said after seeing Luo Chaochao, "Thanks to the few employees you stayed today for discovering the thief in time."

As he spoke, Luo Chaochao saw the little monsters brought back by Songzhi, pressing three men in black with their faces covered and walking in. Their hands were tied behind their backs, their masks were ripped off, and they hung On the chin, there were three strange faces that Luo Chaoxi had never seen before.

"Set fire?" Luo Chaoxi was startled when he heard this.

He and the defenders stationed in Kangzhou City set up a tight defense that patrols every 15 minutes, and added a protective formation to guard against monsters and ghosts. Unless they do it themselves, no one will have a chance to do it.

"Who told you to come?" Luo Chaoxi asked directly.

The people in the textile factory at least knew that this matter should not be known to everyone, so they forced them to the backyard, but at night, the clerks in Jiushui Supermarket were all monsters, and they were all sharp. How could they not hear them talking outside? When someone set fire to it, several big monsters who had been resting in their room immediately poked their heads out.

"We wanted to work overtime in the middle of the night to finish the work, but found that these people sneaked into the warehouse and poured oil on the outside of the warehouse!" said the black-haired little leopard, "and they came from Walked out of the staff dormitory!"

staff dorm?

"We did it ourselves." One of the three masked men said, "I have long thought that you don't like it, and it's not like we don't work. You earned so much money, why don't you share it with us?"

This reason made people very speechless, but Ke Luo Chao Chao didn't believe it.

These few people obviously knew something, but they didn't want to confess that the people behind them took the initiative to top the tank.

"I don't have time to go around here with you. Tell me who ordered you to set the fire? Otherwise, if I find out by myself, you and the people behind you will not even think about it."

Luo Chaoxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he threatened directly. He rubbed his forehead, guessing who would dare to do something to him.

He doesn't have any persistent enemies in Kangzhou City, but there are quite a few people who are unilaterally hostile to him. Luo Chaochao is not sure if someone will be jealous of him and deliberately attack his factory.

"The three of them are the first batch of employees recruited here." The manager of the factory said, "We investigated at the beginning, and the net worth of these three people is very clean." The manager took out three money bags, which were full of silver , There is at least 50 taels of silver in each purse.

This is simply to deliberately guide people in the direction that these three people were bribed.

Not right.

"Don't tell me?" Luo Chaochao repeated.

The three men shook their heads, sternly determined that it was they who wanted to do it.

"Okay, lock it in the small black room first." Luo Chaoxi said, "You will take the initiative to tell me."

Luo Chaoxi found out the nightmare talisman that he hadn't used for a long time from the talismans he had practiced before. He used this to deal with the person who drugged his restaurant, and he also used it to deal with Pan Xiaoliang.

That pervert Pan Xiaoliang couldn't keep his heart, let alone these ordinary people.

"Good job." Watching Luo Chaoxi go to the small black room with the three of them, Song Zhi, who came to check, patted the shoulders of the little monsters he brought back, "Don't go back yet."

In the small black room, Luo Chaochao was sitting on a stool. The three of them were lying on the ground with a nightmare amulet on their foreheads. Their eyes were closed tightly, but the eyeballs under their eyelids kept turning rapidly. They were obviously dreaming, and they were dreaming of a very Scary stuff.

Luo Chaochao grabbed the void with his right hand, and a cloud of white mist floated out, forming something like a screen, on which the memories of the three people related to it were displayed.

This is the effect after the realm is raised.

Luo Chaochao can take the initiative to watch dreams, and it is said that after Luo Chaochao is promoted two more times, he can manipulate these dreams.

But for now just looking at other people's memories is enough.

Luo Chaochao saw a very strange face in the memory of these people. This middle-aged man was dressed gorgeously, and he was wearing an emerald ring on his right thumb. His face was very blurry. It must be because the time interval was too long and several people forgot .

But the face of the person next to him was very clear.

It was one of the Buzhuang stewards who did not cooperate with Luo Chaochao.

It's called Xixing Buxing.

And the steward was very respectful to this middle-aged man, obviously he was also a very valuable person, but when facing this man, he still bowed his body and looked respectful.

【Lord Lu, we have already made arrangements. They can start working after they stay in that textile factory for a while and gain the trust of the textile factory. 】The manager of Xixing Cloth said, 【I have dealt with their backgrounds. 】

This period seems to have nothing to fall, but I can feel the fear in these men.

Thinking about the information that Manager Buzhuang showed him, saying that these three people were all from other places, and they were the only ones, and thinking about the fact that these people were scared to death, it is not difficult to guess that this background treatment should be to put them The relatives of the three people were arrested and used as threats.

Master Lu...

It seems that Master Lu is the only one who can hate him so much.

Master Lu who engages in monopoly business in Youzhou City.

After such a long time without moving, Luo Chaochao thought that the other party hadn't noticed, but he didn't expect to be waiting here.
