Chapter 356
The lady in this corner, surnamed Yan, is a nearby lady of the Xiao family, a powerful family outside the region. The Xiao family lives on the land opposite the heijiang River in the Liao Dynasty. On the land opposite the heijiang River, the Xiao family is regarded as the local emperor.
However, although the Xiao family controlled the nearby iron ore, even though they were very advanced in making weapons, the Xiao family had a disadvantage. The outlying island opposite the heijiang river did not produce much food. The Xiao family sent their disciples abroad to do business all year round.
In places like Liaoyuan, Xiao naturally had his own shops.
Yan came here for entertainment. Unexpectedly, he met Xia Xiaochan like this.
Like, like, really like that man.
Yan's heart jumped wildly. There was no such similar person in the world. Thinking of this, she always felt that she had found a great secret.
Xia Xiaochan's information was naturally read by her before she came here. In order to avoid sinners, the Xiao family will check each other's preferences in advance.
The princess was born low, just a peasant girl. She flew to the branches because she saved the injured prince.
This is not a secret near Liaoyuan. It is a fact known to all.
However, Yan guessed the appearance of many Zhongyi palace, but he never thought that the appearance of Zhongyi princess was so like that person.
It can't be true? If it is really... Then
At the thought of that possibility, Yan's heart jumped wildly, and he couldn't hide his emotions at all.
Xia Xiaochan seemed to feel it and looked at Yan's corner. Yan's head hung down in a hurry.
Xia Xiaochan frowned and said to the servant girl around her, "who is the lady in red?"
"That's the wife of Xiao's collateral branch on the outlying island. Her surname is Yan."
Xia Xiaochan looked at the information of the nobles and ladies in the city and immediately nodded, "pay attention to her. She looks a little bad."
"Yes, madam."
The servant went down.
On the other side, after lunch, a group of ladies surrounded Xia Xiaochan and asked about everything in the palace.
They are particularly curious about fresh vegetables, melons and fruits, the clothes, shoes, jewelry and even Rouge worn by the princess.
Xia Xiaochan whispered, "ladies, everyone said, if we sell such vegetables, melons and fruits in winter, will there be a market?"
The ladies immediately said, "of course there will be a market. If there is such a good thing on the market, I will buy it first."
Xia Xiaochan said, "if we teach our farmers the technology of growing fresh vegetables in winter, and Zhuangzi produces vegetables, melons and fruits, we can all have a new private money."
A woman exclaimed, "is the princess willing to give us all these skills? After all, it's amazing that summer fresh vegetables grow in this winter."
Xia Xiaochan said, "what's the matter? Everyone is from the north. This little technology is a gift from the princess."
As soon as these words came out, all the people knew that Xia Xiaochan was not joking. He really wanted to give them these technologies.
Immediately, Xia Xiaochan led the crowd to the front and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please follow the princess to visit our greenhouse."
Driven by Xia Xiaochan, a large group of ladies stood up. Everyone was very excited. Several familiar ladies talked about what benefits they would get after learning such technology.
After all, with the scarcity of this kind of vegetables, it's sure to make a lot of money.
Don't underestimate vegetables, melons and fruits. In the eyes of noble people, they would rather spend more money than buy such food.
When they came to the greenhouse with Xia Xiaochan, they looked at a large area of green plants with flowers, and looked at the full fruits and vegetables, all the ladies were boiling.
"This... This is the greenhouse? It was planted here?"
"Yes."
"How did you do that?"
Xia Xiaochan was not stingy and said, "in fact, the principle is not difficult. It is mainly to use the boiler to burn the heating, use the heating to ensure the growth of plants, and maintain sufficient water and sunshine of plants. As long as we can do all this, we can ensure the growth of plants."
There is your husband's humanity, "I heard that the princess came up with this method. The princess is really powerful."
Xia Xiaochan smiled and said, "in fact, it's not difficult to plant fresh fruits and vegetables. It's more difficult. If everyone goes to plant fresh vegetables and fruits, there will be a big problem. At that time, the demand in Beidi will not be so large, and it will face a problem of malicious price reduction."
As soon as Xia Xiaochan said this, everyone was silent. At random, some people were discouraged, "yes, once they cut prices, they can't make money."
Xia Xiaochan said, "not necessarily. At such a time, if we unify the price and will never reduce the price, we can still make a lot of money. You know, in addition to the north, there are barbarians in the north, and there is a huge empire in the south. The Empire's demand for fresh vegetables, melons and fruits must be beyond imagination."
When the words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"But what if someone secretly reduces the price in order to sell more money?"
Xia Xiaochan said faintly, "ladies and gentlemen, if everyone trusts my princess, my princess has a way to do it."
"What way?"
Everyone was jealous at the thought of a market as big as the Empire.
There is ice in winter. Vegetables are kept for a long time. It is no problem to transport them for sale for a long time.
Xia Xiaochan said, "In order to ensure the uniqueness of the price, we have only one way, that is, we all work together to set up a joint-stock enterprise. Everyone accounts for the shares of the vegetable company according to the amount of capital contribution and distributes the due benefits according to the amount of capital. Of course, if there is Chuang Tzu, we can also distribute the benefits according to Chuang Tzu. We recruit people uniformly, manage uniformly and detail the accounts In this way, there will be no malicious competition. "
As soon as these words came out, some ladies became hesitant and flinched, while others immediately took their share in order to curry favor with Xia Xiaochan.
Of course, just pay.
Why do you just give money instead of Chuang Tzu? In the eyes of these people, Chuang Tzu is his own. What if it really comes out and is occupied?
At last, Xia Xiaochan ordered someone to make statistics and received a total of 15000 liang of silver.
This is only for military spending, of course, it is far from enough.
But now it's just the beginning. Xia Xiaochan is not in a hurry.
In the following January, this hot Kang technology rose rapidly in the city.
After many people finished the Kang, they quickly built a greenhouse and began to plant fresh vegetables that are easy to live and grow quickly in their backyard.
These vegetables only grow in a month. Xia Xiaochan specially set up a purchase station to buy these vegetables at twice the price of ordinary vegetables and directly send people to transport them to the still cold imperial capital and several other rich and noble cities of the Empire.
Of course, Xia Xiaochan ordered people to set the price. The selling price of vegetables is one or two silver a kilo.
It's not expensive, but because of the freshness and rarity, the vegetables in Beidi quickly caught fire.
Many businessmen came to Beidi with their men and horses almost without hesitation.
You know, the price difference of vegetables is 50 times the profit.
Xia Xiaochan did not stop these businessmen from buying vegetables. He still took out the rules of the caravan. As long as he spent more than 1000 liang of silver in Beidi, he was escorted by the army.
When the Chinese New Year is coming, many families in the poor and backward North begin to be happy. Waiting for spring to come, they begin to build houses.
Yes, the poor Beidi people began to develop when they sold their accumulated skins, vegetables and stones (gemstones and jade) they picked up in rivers and ditches#####
However, although the Xiao family controlled the nearby iron ore, even though they were very advanced in making weapons, the Xiao family had a disadvantage.
