Chapter 478

Because of Yuan Shu's presence, the speed on this road was not fast, and it took Su Xuan and his party more than a day to arrive at Yexian.

Afterward, the handover work went very smoothly.

Su Xuan didn't intend to play any tricks.

And Yuan Shu didn't have the ability to play any tricks.

After a day, Su Xuan successfully obtained 2 million shi of grain and 1 million gold in wealth.

"Brother Gonglu! The mountains are high and the road is long, we will meet again! I hope we won't meet on the battlefield in the future!"

Su Xuan bowed slightly to Yuan Shu from afar and said loudly.

"Haha!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, infected by the scene: "I'll take your word for it, we will meet again!"

"By the way! Brother Su Boyuan, don't forget the purchase of those things and the training of the cooks! I'm waiting to enjoy them!"

Su Xuan laughed: "No problem! I will soon arrange for people from the Chamber of Commerce to go to Runan to discuss the specific matters of the transaction with you;"

"By then, I will bring you a batch of samples so you can use them first."

"Haha! That's great!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, cupped his fists at Su Xuan: "That's it then! I'm leaving! Brother Su Boyuan, don't see me off!"

As soon as these words came out, both Su Xuan's side and Yuan Shu's side showed strange expressions.

Yuan Shu's subordinates were thinking, has our lord gone crazy?

Do you think this is visiting a friend to say goodbye?

Don't forget, we lost the battle before and were captured.

Even this time, we paid a huge price to be redeemed.

How come you don't hold a grudge at all, but instead look very happy?

Is your brain broken?

Su Xuan's side was also happy.

They all felt that Yuan Shu's brain circuit was a bit abnormal.

Which prisoner would have this attitude?

"My lord is high!"

At this time, Guo Jia gave Su Xuan a thumbs up and praised: "Using these luxurious things and life to corrode Yuan Shu, not only does he not hate us, but he also has a great impression of you;"

"At the same time, we can earn a large amount of money from Yuan Shu every month in the future, opening up sales channels for these luxury goods. It's simply killing many birds with one stone!"

He really admired his lord's whimsical ideas.

Who could have thought things would turn out like this.

"And that's not all!"

At this time, Su Yu spoke up: "Yuan Shu is a living signboard;"

"With this living signboard, the gentry officials who see and enjoy these luxury goods at Yuan Shu's place will inevitably follow suit and order them;"

"Even if they are not people who crave enjoyment, in order to please Yuan Shu, and for the sake of the gentry's face and status, they will grit their teeth and spend a lot of money to buy these products!"

"By then, we will surely be able to earn a steady stream of money and directly open up sales channels for these luxury goods."

Speaking of this, Su Yu looked at his elder brother with admiration and worship: "Sure enough, you are the most proficient in business matters, Brother! There is still much for me to learn."

He originally thought that after years of controlling and training in the Su Family Chamber of Commerce, he was already very powerful in business.

But compared to Su Xuan, he was still far behind.

He still needs to continue to work hard.

"That's really true!"

Guo Jia, Xun You, and others also had their eyes light up.

They were very clear about the celebrity effect.

They were also very clear about the gentry's concern for face.

Things would really proceed as Su Yu said.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan laughed and looked at Su Yu: "Second brother, you don't need to be self-deprecating. Your achievements in business are already quite good. I am very relieved to leave the Chamber of Commerce to you!"

"This time, the matter of luxury goods with Yuan and the training of cooks is also fully handed over to you!"

"You will send suitable candidates to complete this task by then!"

"Yes!"

Su Yu immediately bowed and took the order.

"By the way!"

At this time, Su Xuan said again: "Don't just remember to transport the money back from Yuan Shu's side. Money is just a dead object!"

"The struggle between warlords in the future will only become more intense, and business will also be greatly affected;"

"The business world is like a battlefield. We are also preparing to use business or economic warfare as a weapon to secretly launch invisible attacks on all warlords;"

"Therefore, it is best to buy and convert the money earned into grain and basic raw materials on the spot and transport them back;"

"Then, we will use these raw materials for processing, make them into new products, and continue to sell them;"

"In this way, profit rolls into profit, and we get more and more benefits;"

"We cannot just simply export products and recover gold and silver money, otherwise, we will lose out, understand?"

The water in the economic and business world is very deep.

If it weren't for Su Xuan's memories from his past life and his heaven-defying comprehension for in-depth research, he wouldn't even understand all the ways in it.

"Hmm!"

Su Yu nodded solemnly: "I understand! Brother, you taught me this before! I was planning to do this anyway!"

"After all, although our Jingzhou is rich in products, for one thing, our own consumption is also very large;"

"Secondly, there are still many products that we don't have, or are relatively rare, and must be purchased from other places."

"Originally, the war would indeed have a great negative impact on business transportation;"

"But fortunately, Brother, you established a powerful Jingzhou navy early on, which can ensure the smooth flow of water transport routes. At least, the impact on most transactions in the south is not very large;"

"On the contrary, the north is more affected, and it will even become greater in the future. We must prepare early."

Su Yu admired his elder brother's ability to plan ahead.

"The north?"

Su Xuan nodded: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much about this! The north has water routes."

"Brother, are you talking about sea transport?"

Su Yu was very smart and immediately understood Su Xuan's intention, and asked: "Brother! Can we build stable sea transport ships?"

"Naturally!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "The technology for cargo ships suitable for sea transport, and even warships suitable for sea warfare, had already completed a generation of technical reserves a few years ago!"

"Up to now, the technical reserves have even developed to the second or even third generation!"

"It's just that there was no need before! And it wasn't used yet, plus the territory wasn't big enough before, so they weren't produced and equipped!"

"But now that we have taken the entire Jingzhou, plus the potential needs of sea transport and even sea warfare, it is time to upgrade some naval warships and cargo ships!"

"By then, we can completely use a small number of new-style sea warships to escort a large number of sea transport ships, go east out of the Yangtze River estuary, go north to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and even Youzhou, and conduct trade with the north;"

"In this way, not only can we greatly reduce the commercial risks caused by war, but we can also greatly reduce transportation costs;"

"Let our products gain a greater price advantage;"

"At the same time, we can also open up sea transport routes to the southern commanderies of Yangzhou and the commanderies of Taking Jiaozhou;"

"Greatly increase contact with Yangzhou and Taking Jiaozhou, and prepare for our future capture of Yangzhou and Taking Jiaozhou;"

"Especially Taking Jiaozhou;"

"This place seems remote and desolate, but it is not;"

"Taking Jiaozhou has a lush river plain with millions of acres or more of fertile land available for cultivation;"

"Moreover, the climate there is mild, and planting grain there can be harvested at least twice or three times a year. It is absolutely a treasure land;"
