Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

If forty stones of rice are exchanged for a bolt of silk, based on Li Ke's cost, the profit is about 120 times, not bad, drizzle.

Calculated according to the profits of other businessmen, it is about 32 times the profits, which is not bad.

Li Ke really doesn't know the price of rice in Zhenwa. His Yuelai Trading Company has business in Zhenwa, but these businesses are not many, and the volume of trade is not large. The most important thing is that the transport ships have nothing to do with the transport ships in Li Ke's hands. In contrast, the transportation costs of both parties are not at the same level.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Ke didn't ask Yuelai Trading Company, because in Li Ke's view, there is no need for any reference to Zhenwa's folk rice price, because Li Ke is not going to buy it with copper coins at all. Lalinyi can also use Datang copper coins, but Li Ke is not prepared to buy them with money at all.

Because when using money as an equivalent, it is easy for the other party to obtain the real price, and in this kind of trade, bartering is the way to make the most profit.

For example, more than 1000 years later, when the big red brother disintegrated, those who made a lot of money by reselling at the border, who the hell used currency for settlement, all used barter, because this is the most profitable way to make money.

But Li Ke knows people's hearts. He knows that this price is definitely not the bottom line. If he continues, he can find a lower bottom line.

"Princess Su Yeli, I like to do business with people for a win-win situation, so I can accept forty shi in exchange for a piece of silk like this." Li Ke agreed straightforwardly.

Su Yeli breathed a sigh of relief in an instant. Fortunately, His Highness is a person who likes win-win!Soon her heart was full of surprises. Such a piece of silk might only be worth a few hundred cash in Tang Dynasty, but it would cost at least three pennies to buy such a piece of silk in Zhenwa, and the grain price of Zhenwa must be based on If you convert the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, a stone of rice is no more than thirty or forty Wen at most.

Such a price means that she can earn a lot of money in Zhenwa, and if she sells these things to the nearby mule country, queen country, white head country, Zhu Bo, mixed and other countries, she can also make a large amount of profit. Datang items can also be sold at extremely high prices in these countries.

"But, do you really have so much food?" Li Ke looked at her and asked.

True wax, that is, the eastern side of Cambodia, southern Laos, and the vast area of ​​southern Vietnam in later generations, occupies the main basin and tributaries of the lower reaches of the Mekong River.But Li Ke didn't know much about Zhenwa's population, the food grown, etc. Even the Tang Dynasty didn't have much information about it in this era.

"Your Highness...do you just want food?" Su Yeli asked after a pause.

"Food, gold and silver, I don't want anything other than these other things. The latter said that there are not many other things." Li Ke said lightly.

"Food... If Your Highness gives me time, I can collect at least 700 million shi of grain this year! Next year I will make this number break through 1000 million shi!" Su Yeli took a deep breath.

Li Ke looked at her. This princess knew more than Li Ke imagined. She seemed to be a person who ran around and played with flowers, and her knowledge was indeed extensive.

1000 million shi of grain, this amount is considered a huge number in Datang, and the reason why she said that, Li Ke is sure that the previous Zhenwa must not have fully grown grain!This is normal. It is impossible for other merchants to buy grain like Li Ke. The reason is very simple. There is no shortage of grain in Lingnan Road, but when it is transported to the territory of Datang, ordinary ships cannot transport much. For ordinary merchants, in terms of size When it was not that big, it was too bad to transport food.

True wax, these medicinal materials make more money than food!

Only Li Ke has the ability to transport a large amount of grain. In fact, 1000 million shi of grain is only 60 tons in conversion. Li Ke's strategic warehouse has 50 tons of pork alone!A specially-made cargo ship with a displacement of 1200 tons can carry about 1000 tons, and 1000 million stones can be transported back to Datang in [-] shipments!

This amount is nothing at all, Datang is not afraid of a lot of food, especially in places like Zhenwa where rice is grown!Rice has higher nutritional value than corn, and in the past, ordinary people basically didn't eat it very much, that is, they could eat it occasionally.

In ancient times, food was the root of all things. When there was no shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty, it meant that the bran produced by husking wheat and rice could be used to feed poultry, whether it was feeding pigs or feeding chickens and ducks after stirring, etc. It's grain.

This is one of the main food sources for poultry during winter in northern regions!This means that the people of Datang will gradually be able to eat meat!People can eat meat, and the physical fitness and population of the people in Datang will increase dramatically, and population is the foundation.

If the current Datang has a population of 14 billion in later generations, Li Ke would just emigrate directly to fight any war.

What is the population of the world now?Therefore, population is king!

As for why he didn't beat down the real wax to grow grain, Li Ke naturally had some considerations. Now that there is no shortage of arable land in the Tang Dynasty, it is actually more difficult to force immigration at this time, but just occupy the local area and use the local people to grow grain. That naturally requires a bowl of water to be level.

A bowl of water is flat and Li Ke still makes a shitty profit.

It seems that the land area has increased, but in fact, it is useful to keep some countries properly. At least Datang is still accumulating strength.

Besides, as long as Li Ke gives them enough profits in these countries, they will start to force the people to grow a lot of food. As for the conflict between them and the people, what does it have to do with Li Ke?

A few years later, when the Tang Dynasty took them down, the people would rejoice and applaud to welcome the arrival of the king of heaven. That was Li Ke's goal.

"Not enough." Li Ke shook his head bluntly, "1000 million shi is considered a basic starting price, at least 2000 million, or even 3000 million shi." Li Ke answered very simply.

"Yes!" Su Yeli agreed resolutely. At worst, she would go to buy it from countries like Mule Country. These countries are also very suitable for growing rice. Their situation is similar to that of Zhenwa.

When she agreed, Su Yeli was also very grateful. She was right to come to Linyi this time. Otherwise, how could there be such a big opportunity?

"But there is one problem." Li Ke asked quietly.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Can you really win the real wax market by yourself? Can you keep such a big profit?" Li Ke took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.

Su Yeli pressed her lips tightly, she knew that this question was related to how much share she could win, or in other words, it was related to whether she would be eliminated from this trade!
