Chapter 55 Find a way to make money
From the beginning of winter to the light snow, the weather began to get colder and colder. In this era, there was already cotton. With the excessive grain production, it was deposed, and the aristocratic families also began to turn from traditional farming to commerce and industry.
Cotton fabrics have gradually occupied the mainstream, but the linen has not yet left the market, that's all.
"The population of the great man should be quite large, and I don't know if it has 100 million." Zhu Xin wrapped in a thick cotton coat, roasted on fire, drank tea and ate refreshments. In this world, there is no need to worry about warm food and clothing, and the medicine is developed. In theory, the population growth rate will not be low...
According to the original plan, Sun Ce went out to visit the generals under Yuan Shu. The skewers he had brought up before were unknown to the civil servants, but the military generals were very popular. From time to time, they were baked and sold by themselves, and they drank them with beer to enjoy it.
There may not be many, after all, industry and commerce...that is, capitalists need a lot of labor and more land to grow cotton and other things.
In other words, the Han Dynasty was prosperous and strong, and its commodities were exported to various places, and even various guild guilds have been formed.
There are still many people at the bottom who cannot eat enough or wear warmth, so they have to rebel. Perhaps, this is the truth of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in this world. Unfortunately, Zhu Xin didn't care much about this.
Jiangnan is too far from Central Plains and Hebei, and many things can only be heard of, so there is distortion. But I can't see them in person, so I just don't know, anyway, it has no impact on his career and future.
"I remember it was counted during the reign of Emperor Huan. The population was as high as 200 million." Huang Gai walked in and sat next to the stove. He had to pick up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. "This pastry is good!"
"High sugar and high oil, of course the taste is very good." Zhu Xin looked at Huang Gai, "It is best for ladies to eat less. It is easiest to gain weight this winter, after all, they don't have much activity."
"That's you, we warriors, practice martial arts every day and are always ready to go to battle and kill the enemy." Huang Gai retorted.
"Yes, you're right." Zhu Xin didn't refute anything, after all, that's the case. But he didn't do anything and just kept weight.
At the beginning, Sun Ce was promised to gain a little bit, but he did not instinctively want to gain weight. As a result, he didn't know whether his belly was big or not, but his strength seemed to have improved slightly.
Now, his body fat rate has been slightly rounded, and he has a slightly belly fat, and he is just a bodybuilder. In fact, he thinks that Sun Ce can slightly transform from a fat lover to a muscle lover...at least he is more relaxed.
Strictly counting, he had no need to change himself deliberately for Sun Ce's personal preferences. At least, he felt that the relationship and relationship between the two had not reached that level.
"But if the Han Dynasty had a population of 200 million, how many people would have to die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion..." Zhu Xin changed the topic.
"Anyway, during that period, every day, every hour... everyone died all the time." Huang Gai sighed, "Although there was still some turmoil everywhere in the next few years, most people's lives improved a lot. In those years, they were still nicknamed the Great Han Zhongxing."
Yes, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom formation, both sides killed each other, and it is said that they killed tens of millions of people. In the end, Daoguang was revived by Xianfeng. It was nothing more than the illusion caused by the redistribution of social resources.
"Why do you think of this question?" Huang Gai suddenly realized this question and asked.
"I just thought that there should be no shortage of military resources, and there should be no shortage of food and food... Is there only money?" Zhu Xin asked.
"Yes... I don't need anything, I just lack money..." Huang Gai also began to become melancholy.
Nowadays, you can buy anything if you have money, and you can recruit any soldiers who have money, but the question is how to get the money?
Originally, the Great Han Dynasty had Wuzhu coins as its basis, and large-scale goods were traded, and merchants would privately use gold cakes to settle the transaction. Later, after the Wuzhu coins were seriously insufficient, the court cast gold and silver into Wuzhu coins to replace ten and one hundred ci, barely ensuring the circulation of currency.
Since the aristocratic families began to pass on family education and enter the industry and commerce field, the calculation time began more than 400 years ago. After four hundred years, this industry and commerce have certainly developed. With great development, you can buy all kinds of things with money.
Yuan is a big chaebol and has as much money as possible. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao can get anything she (they) needs.
Sun Ce is not good, the Sun family's industry is not that large. In addition to deducting the share of household use, some funds are often funded, and this amount is not large.
That is, a lot of money and supplies were seized from Chen Wen before, which could support the cost of about a few months. After a few months, another solution was needed. Yuan Shu only provided supplies for one thousand people.
Especially the military pay expenses, although not much, they cannot be ignored. According to this idea, Sun Ce even could only persist until the beginning of spring, and he would probably have no money.
"Is there any way to get money quickly?" Huang Gai looked at Zhu Xin and asked. After all, she had no idea.
"The way to make money quickly can be found in the "Han Rule", especially those who will die." Zhu Xin joked.
"If it is non-professional..." Huang Gai began to think seriously.
Professionals may rob a family and robbery, but non-professionals do not have this problem. In a sense, if you form a bandit group of non-professionals, as long as you do not reveal your identity, you will indeed make money quickly...
"If it is exposed, Bo Fu will be disliked by all the families in the world!" Zhu Xin directly denied this idea.
In this era, there were almost no talents from poor families and civilians. It’s not that there were no talents, but more talents appeared among the noble families. In particular, most industries were monopolized by the noble families. If they did not recruit their tribes, they would not sell goods, or make things difficult for this. Anyway, they would have as many means as possible.
Unless it is a family like Yuan who has a mine, there may be constraints everywhere.
"How can we make money?" Huang Gai asked back, really thinking she didn't know the importance of it?
Zhu Xin raised the cup in his hand and was silent for a moment, "In the short term, we can't leave Shouchun, right?"
"At least I will never be able to leave next year... So what's wrong?" Huang Gai was a little confused.
"In business, there is one, but you just need to open a store." Zhu Xin replied.
There is no milk tea in this world. There are obviously many dairy products, and even milk can be quickly transported to various places after it is preserved. Rich families can even maintain a daily supply of one cup of milk.
There is no shortage of sugar and tea... I just don’t know why, in this world, milk tea has not appeared yet. According to Zhu Xin’s understanding of this thing, don’t look at a small cup, which is three or five yuan cheaper or twenty yuan expensive, but the cost is really not high.
After thinking about it, he added: "But there is a disadvantage of this business, that is, it is easy to be imitated."
"This question is not simple?" Huang Gai smiled and said, "Just go directly to the industry guild to register!"
