Chapter 85: Make the business bigger
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.
The weather became hot, and the entire Bouke Island was also very hot, especially the merchants, who ran all over the ground.
Many civilians with funds have become businessmen because there are too many ways to make money.
People do coal, wheat, meat, bread, and even large earthen kilns and port construction.
The smartest businessman has already taken the workers to work for the local government.
In this hot situation, Luo Lan issued a new decree, requiring local governments to invest money to build roads and repair all the roads in the jurisdiction within two years.
Governments everywhere have money, and they have obtained a large amount of money through the levy of commercial taxes.
If we followed the previous feudal manor system, these officials would definitely be in custody and would not obey the prince's orders?
But under the provincial system, they are not stingy with gold coins because they want to be bigger officials. If the government orders cannot be completed, they will lose their official positions every minute.
When local governments began to build roads, Mangdi finally determined the starting point for the development of the textile industry.
"Uttar Pradesh is a good place, where there are many cattle and sheep, there is no shortage of raw materials, and it is adjacent to Nanshan Kingdom to facilitate trade. Let's develop the textile industry in Uttar Pradesh."
This is what Mang Di said. In half a month, she actually went to Uttar Pradesh and rode a horse.
Luo Lan opened her mouth wide after knowing it. This grandma is too strong.
"Okay, Charles is in Uttar Pradesh. He has the same idea as me. Just go find him. He has confiscated the noble's property and is so rich." Luo Lan said with a smile. Uttar Pradesh is indeed a good place.
It is the only open place in Bouji Island and will be traded for a long time with Nanshan Kingdom.
The north cannot be opened yet because there are too many secrets in the north, and Luo Lan has explicitly prohibited the Nanshan people from entering the north.
The longer the secret is kept, the better.
A few days later, Ms. Mangdi led dozens of workers to the south, all of whom were selected by her female workers, who were very smart and capable.
As for the rest, she didn't bring because Luo Lan didn't have it at all.
Luo Lan just gave Mang Di a handwritten order, ordering Charles to cooperate with Mang Di to develop the textile industry. The most critical task is to purchase textile machines from Nanshan Country.
Nanshan Kingdom is not a major textile country, but their craftsmen are really powerful and the textile machines are world-class, which makes people admire them.
After Mangdi went south, Bina also followed her, and she was worried that Mangdi would be alone.
Luo Lan went to the West Coast.
It just so happened that Carl returned with the Rocket Force. Although more than ten people were sacrificed, Carl gathered up the number of people again.
As for the remaining troops, Karl left it in Nakajima State, which was vast in plains and suitable for training, especially in Uttar Pradesh.
This is what Luo Lan reminded that the Rocket Force must stay in the northern base, train strictly, and receive new weapons, while the rest of the soldiers cannot access core secrets and can only use catapults and explosive bombs at most.
It’s not that Luo Lan is too cautious, but that the newly joined soldiers in Uttar Pradesh still have resistance, and Luo La is not very relieved.
After meeting Carl, Luo Lan went straight to the port.
This place has changed a lot again. The burning soil has filled the rock holes in the offshore, the length of the port has doubled, and there are many more houses on the coast, and some small merchants are shouting for business.
If you add modern facilities here, it will be a resort.
Luo Lan was satisfied and also a little "empty". Of course, it was not his emptiness, but the emptiness of the port.
The ports will become larger and more standardized, but the number of ships has never increased, which is very empty.
"The fleet is not easy to do. Nanshan Kingdom is not good at building ships. If you want a ship, you have to look at the northern countries."
Luo Lan sat on the beach and pondered. At this time, the workers next to him cheered: "Queen Ai Iman is back!"
These workers began to call Queen Eimman when they also started calling them Queen Eimman.
Luo Lan looked up and the two merchant ships sailed towards the west coast port.
On the deck, Iman, who had not seen each other for many days, was handsome and handsome. Her two braids were flying in the sea breeze, and her snow-white skin became a bit more wheat-colored.
She was tanned.
After the whiteness of winter and spring, Aiman ushered in the blackness of summer. It cannot be said to be black, but the sexy wheat color, just like the first time Luo Lan saw her.
"Hey, little black sister." Luo Lan shouted, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.
Aiman turned a pretty face dark, grabbed a spear with the spear cut and threw it over.
Luo Lan accurately caught it, and even used a stick method to knock his head, which made everyone laugh.
Aiman bit the corner of his mouth and hugged his chest and shouted, "Three thousand kilograms of pyrite, a price increase, one silver coin and one kilogram."
"Take it back to the north, I don't want it anymore. I have already knocked down the volcano, and there is no shortage of sulfones." Luo Lan showed off.
Aiman was stunned and ran off the boat: "I won Utah Pradesh so quickly."
"Of course, you have lost your value, that's it..." Luo Lan didn't finish her words, but was grabbed by Ai Yiman on her shoulder: "I'm worthless."
She stared at Luo Lan like a little devil, and Luo Lan raised her hand to surrender: "Just kidding, your value is as great as that, so I need you to buy iron ore."
That’s right, it’s iron ore. Looking at Luo Lan’s many plans have basically been successful, but the only thing that “provides iron tools to farmers” failed.
Luo Lan said verbally that the farmers were given iron tools in spring, but now it is summer. Not to mention iron tools, there is no way to see even a piece of iron.
Fortunately, Luo Lan did not issue a government order at the beginning, otherwise he would have been ashamed to death now.
"No, Adrie has been staring at me, I can't buy iron ore." Aiman shook his head and looked angry.
Luo Lan took her to eat, thinking while eating, "I originally wanted to buy iron ore from Nanshan Kingdom, but their output is not large and they have to make various weapons, so they cannot be sold."
Nanshan Kingdom is a mountainous country with abundant iron ore reserves, but due to the lack of explosives, their output is too small, and it is difficult to sell.
"There are indeed a lot of iron ore in the northern countries, and open-pit mining areas are one after another, but Adri is staring at me and I can't transport it south." Aiman said while gnawing on the chicken legs.
Luo Lan nodded, and he tapped the table with his fingers, and after a while, he said, "Do you think my sister will sell me iron ore?"
"Sister" Ai Yiman was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Three Princess Sophia"
Luo Lan nodded.
Aiman suddenly burst into laughter, and she stared at Luo Lan strangely, looking like... it was perverted.
Luo Lan felt a little uncomfortable and spread her hands and said, "What are you thinking?"
"I heard that Sophia hates men very much, especially for offense. I also heard from the great nobles in East Bay that Sophia was told by you."
Wow!
With such a closed world, there are still rumors like this
Luo Lan's old face pulled: "Fake it, don't listen to them talking nonsense."
"Is that true, but why do I feel that you are very unnatural, not quite the same as before." Ai Yiman smiled and Luo Lan sighed weakly: "Stop talking, you are familiar with the waterway, tell me if we can do business with Sophia?"
When Eimman heard this, he took out a sea transportation map.
"There are many ports in Beiyuanling, and the largest port is East Bay. It is also the place where Will check our fleet. When we return south, we can sneak into other ports to transport iron ore after passing through East Bay. It is not difficult to do business with Beiyuanling."
The coastline of Beiyuan Territory is very long and has many ports. You can avoid Will as long as you are at a port south of the East Bay.
Aiman thought it was beautiful, or too beautiful. Luo Lan curled her lips: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? There is no merchant in any port where you buy iron ore, sooner or later will be discovered by Will."
"You are smart, then you say, what should we do?" Aiman inserted his waist unconvincedly.
"I'm really smart. As long as you get Sophia's business franchise order, Adri will not dare to touch you anymore, and all the problems will be gone."
Chapter completed!
