Chapter 258 Business Prosperity, Merchants Come
It can be said that the most elite troops in Zhu Wei's army are concentrated in the forward Xiong Baying camp in the hands of Pang Yan.
In addition, it was also because the cavalry in Jiangdong and Jingzhou didn't need much combat power, so Zhu Wei assigned the five thousand cavalry to his central army, otherwise he would have sent them to Pang Yan.
Uh, Zhu Wei can build up so many cavalry and crossbowmen now, but it is because merchants finally appeared in Yuzhang's phase field during the New Year, so Zhu Wei spent a lot of gold that he left in the Three Kingdoms game system Less, to purchase the supplies you need.
However, Zhu Wei also seems to have figured out the rule that in the Three Kingdoms game system, there will be businessmen coming out of the city phase field, which may have something to do with the real world city business situation.
Now Yuzhang is relatively stable under the control of Zhu Wei. Then Zhu Wei concentrated the population of Yuzhang in the core areas of Yuzhang River and Poyang Lake, naturally forming a population environment that can attract business companies to conduct commercial trade.
At the same time, Zhu Wei also pays attention to the guidance of commercial trade, so he attracted the trading company under Donghai Wang to help Zhu Wei purchase food, leather armor, iron ore, etc. in various places. A message from other trading companies, Yuzhang welcomes trading companies from all over the world to do business in Yuzhang.
With the help of the convenient waterway conditions of the Yuzhang River and Poyang Lake connecting to the Yangtze River, many commercial companies from Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and even the north have recently come to Yuzhang, so the business of Yuzhang has also become prosperous.
Although spies from various forces in the world may be hidden in these trading companies, Zhu Wei is not afraid of the detection of these spies, because Zhu Wei has a more powerful Three Kingdoms game system than them and can detect information.
Therefore, Zhu Wei now wants to use these trading companies to prosper Yuzhang's market, and at the same time purchase more food, weapons and minerals for himself.
Of course, Zhu Wei was not thinking about the phase field in the game system at first, he just really wanted to use business to prosper Yuzhang and increase some income for himself.
So Zhu Wei didn't want his Yuzhang to only pay for the purchase of materials, but not sell the materials. This would only be a loss-making business.
As for the business tax, it can only be the long-term benefits of slow cooking. It is naturally impossible for Zhu Wei to kill the chicken and take the eggs to make the business tax look like a robbery. As a fledgling Yuzhang, the business tax is relatively low now. Only in this way can foreign companies be attracted.
Therefore, Zhu Wei needed to find a way to sell some special products here in Yuzhang. With such income and expenditure, the business would naturally be more prosperous.
As for special products, Zhu Wei immediately thought of porcelain.
In fact, so-called celadon porcelain appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuzhang is the Jiangxi region of later generations, and Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province of later generations is located in the Poyang Lake area, which shows that there are excellent clay materials for porcelain making on the Poyang Lake side.
And Zhu Wei also attaches great importance to the artisan class in Yuzhang. Now almost all the artisans are selected from the common people, and a special artisan household workshop has been established. The treatment for them is also very good. Hufang specializes in various fortifications.
Therefore, Zhu Wei can look for a craftsman who can burn porcelain in the craftsman workshop under his control, or directly inquire about the source of celadon, and go to a place that can burn porcelain to find a porcelain maker to come to Yuzhang, so that Zhu Wei can be in Yuzhang. Set up a porcelain firing field to burn Yuzhang porcelain, which is a high-priced special product sold by Yuzhang to the outside world.
Porcelain like jade fat is very valuable in the eyes of the nobles and powerful families, and the value of a piece of exquisite porcelain is comparable to the same weight of gold.
If Zhu Wei produces a special product like porcelain in Yuzhang, it will naturally be sold to all parts of the country and become an important financial income for Zhu Wei.
And this kind of porcelain firing factory will also become an official workshop under Zhu Wei's control, and then through the Qin Gong system plus performance appraisal and rewards to ensure the quality of porcelain firing, there should be no inefficiency of state-owned enterprises in later generations.
Well, now Zhu Wei has not been able to produce porcelain for the time being, all this is just Zhu Wei's idea.
Because Zhu Wei didn't plan to use wood to burn porcelain, but wanted to find coal in Yuzhang to burn porcelain. According to Zhu Wei's knowledge, there were still coal mines in Yuzhang.
It's just that all of this is still in the process of groping, Zhu Wei himself is not from a science and engineering background, so for coal and other things, he can only try to use it with a flash of memory in his mind.
So during this period of time, Zhu Wei only produced processed grain products such as rice noodles as a special product of Yuzhang that was promoted to all parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The production process of this rice noodle is quite simple, anyway, after Zhu Wei ordered to arrive at the craftsman workshop, some craftsmen quickly developed it.
Rice noodles are crystal clear after drying, and can be stored for a long time. It can be several months if not a year. In this way, it can also be used as military rations. In this Three Kingdoms period, rice noodles can be regarded as a special food.
Zhu Wei deliberately opened several rice noodle shops in Yuzhang, and specially developed the way of eating fried rice noodles and rice noodle soup, which can be regarded as a new invention in eating.
Under Zhu Wei's special recommendation, the rice noodles were indeed sought after by many merchants from foreign trading companies after tasting them. These merchants also specially learned how to eat rice noodles, otherwise they would not know how to eat them after buying them.
As a result, the rice noodles became Yuzhang's official specialty, and for the time being, they brought some small benefits to Yuzhang.
Of course, this is just the beginning. In the future, Zhu Wei will naturally be able to come up with more Yuzhang specialty products, increase the number of Yuzhang's takeout products, and thus gain more revenue.
Anyway, before the farming in Yuzhang was fully developed, with Zhu Wei's emphasis on commerce and trade in Yuzhang, the commerce in Yuzhang prospered first.
In the real world, merchants from commercial companies from all over the world have come. Zhu Wei also discovered the presence of merchants in the phase field of the Three Kingdoms game system, and he can finally purchase materials in the game system.
Now Zhu Wei’s Three Kingdoms game system has at least 55 gold stored in it, and Yuzhang’s market price, buying rice is 47 unit of gold can buy 1 units of grain, and then 63 units of gold can be exchanged for 1 unit of crossbow , That is, one hundred crossbows, [-] units of gold can be exchanged for one unit of horses, that is, one hundred horses.
Although it is not very cheap, the problem is that crossbows and war horses are already in a state of price but no market.
For Zhu Wei, 47 crossbows only need 63 units of gold, and [-] war horses only need [-] units of gold, which is really a big profit.
So Zhu Wei bought 7050 crossbows with [-] units of gold, so that after they were distributed among the armies, [-] crossbows could be stored in the Three Kingdoms game system for backup.
Then I bought 2205 horses with [-] units of gold, so that the number of horses I actually controlled reached nearly [-], and then [-] cavalry were enough, and the rest were used by scouts and messengers. Others are used as stallions for running racecourses.
Because Zhu Wei found out that the war horses he bought through the Three Kingdoms game system were castrated military horses, and he didn't know how the Three Kingdoms game system got them...
