Nine cents per catty of grain can almost be said to be a money grab. The price of grain stipulated by the court is still fifteen cents per catty. Generally speaking, the price set by the court is always a minimum price. It is higher than this price.

There must be some, but there is definitely no price lower than this. The price of the imperial court is better, just like a guide price. This price makes many people regard it as a weathervane. Looking at the grains in front of them, they are definitely not dozens.

Ten thousand tons can be beaten. If the price is only nine cents, and the taste is so good, I will definitely be able to become bigger and stronger after I go back. A few guys will regret it. If I had known this

There is so much good food to be self-sufficient, even if you borrow usury, you still have to secure the food first.

"Master Cao, are you serious?" Several grain merchants did not believe that there would be such a price. This was no different from giving it away for free. They looked at the mountain of grain one by one as if they were giving money away for free.

Transporting it back from here is only 10% of the freight, which is still the highest. If it is less, 5% will be enough. The cost of going back is less than ten cents, but such good food can definitely be sold.

Seventeen or eighty cents, or even more, such a thing must be done naturally. They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, so they asked Li Cong like that.

"Haha, a manly man, spitting and nailing, would I come to entertain the bosses with such a thing? That is absolutely impossible. The Cao Family Trading Company will definitely enter the grain industry in a big way in the future, how could it make some false claims?

As for things, even if there is a problem with what I said, the food mountain in front of you must be fine. I'm afraid you don't have such a big appetite. I have a lot of food here." Li Cong said with a smile.

, Indeed, even if Li Cong is talking nonsense, this food mountain will definitely not talk nonsense. Their families are also engaged in food business. This large amount of food is not unprecedented, but it is still not as much as the one in front of you.

The first time I saw it, smiles appeared on everyone's faces immediately, and they all encouraged Li Cong to sign the contract.

This time Li Cong deliberately found grain merchants from more than a dozen counties and cities within 500 kilometers, but only two people were found in each city, and the others were not notified. This was also a disguised form of training.

Their own agents came. Some time ago, they only heard that Cao Ke wanted to buy grain, but they didn't expect that he would start exporting grain now. They also knew that the source of the grain might be unknown, but who could control so much now? If they were

If you don't hurry up, these grains may belong to others. These people one by one start to calculate how much grain they can get. Now they usually go out to buy grain and the price is basically the same. Now they can save so much.

You can get so much directly by running around. The most important thing is that the taste of this grain is much better than that of those farmers. This kind of wheat will definitely sell well.

"Master Cao, I am from Kelan County in the north. My surname is Ma. Everyone calls me Lao Ma. I want to order 300,000 tons of bright silk this time. Is it possible?" After entering the house,

An old man said that there is information about this man Li Cong. He is not the largest grain merchant in that county. It can even be said that he is only an above-average grain merchant. The reason why Li Cong put this person

The reason why I was invited here is because a batch of his grain was shipped here some time ago, and the price was not increased due to the beast tide. This man has truly done what a grain merchant should do. The grain industry is not for making a fortune.

. It was precisely because of this that Li Cong cooperated with this person.

"Haha, then let me call you Lao Ma. I know your situation. From now on, you will be the exclusive agent in the city where you are. I admire your style of doing things. I have also found someone to investigate.

Your grain is basically in a state of low profit. I know that the money in your hand is only 300,000 tons of grain. It doesn't matter. This time I will give you 500,000 tons of grain. You can find someone by yourself.

Just transport it back, and the money can wait. To be honest, I have never been in the habit of giving people credit, and you are the first one." Li Cong said with a smile, not losing his true nature in the face of huge profits.

Li Cong takes great care of everyone. Just like the person in front of him, he is a person worthy of respect. If it were anyone else, Li Cong would never let anyone owe him a debt no matter what the relationship was.

"This. This..., thank you so much, Mr. Cao. I will definitely send back the remaining food money as soon as possible. I will sign a contract with Manager Bai right away. This time I brought

There are too few people, but I will transport as much as I can transport back. I will bring people here as soon as I get back." The old horse said with a smile. He didn't know how much food there was here this time, but he decided to transport it just in case.

They brought 300 large carts. The current ones are all four-wheeled carriages. Such carts can only pull three tons before they collapse. This time, even a thousand tons were brought back by the Ministry of Transport.

Li Cong smiled and nodded. Even if this first transaction is completed, this ton is only 18 taels of silver, and the 300,000 tons is only 5.4 million taels of silver. It is not a lot in total, but it is almost enough.

This is the limit of a county. People like this can be regarded as supporting Li Cong very much. It is impossible for them to eat more.

"Master Cao, we are grain merchants from Art County in the east. The two of us came together. Although we run two grain merchants, our two families are related. Can we also get thirty

Ten thousand tons of money in exchange for five hundred thousand tons of grain?" At this moment, two people who looked like they were not good people came over. Li Cong also had information about these two people. Their business was not the same as that old horse.

, so Li Cong didn't give them a good look.

"I'm sorry, I don't have such a rule here. Their credit is good and they can do things well, so they have such a price. But this does not mean that I can also give you such a discount. If you want food, I can guarantee that I will give you enough

Food, but you have to buy it with real money and silver." Although Li Cong had a smile on his face, these two guys also knew that such a thing was impossible. Li Cong was not that easy to talk to, and even a fool knew that.

It is such a good thing to take 300,000 yuan and go back with 500,000 tons of grain. The turnover period of the 200,000 tons of grain alone is also very good. It is a pity that others are not willing to give it, so we can only

He honestly followed Li Cong's method.

Next, many people understood that Li Cong gave a total of four people such treatment, and the remaining more than fifty people did not receive such treatment. In the end, more than fifty of them paid 20 million tons of grain and took them away.

22 million tons of grain. Of course, they cannot have so many large trucks to transport it in the short term. They can only transport it slowly. But when Boss Cui saw this transportation, he immediately thought of something.

of.

This eight-hour transmission made Li Cong a little surprised. There was a lot of food. Now it was not as much as he told Li Yin a while ago. Maybe Li Cong was really worried about the tens of millions of tons of food.

I don’t have a concept. In terms of the transportation capacity on this planet, let’s not talk about the remaining grains of Li Cong. Just the food they want to transport will require a lot of manpower and material resources, but Boss Cui also saw that transportation is actually

It is also a very good business. If you transport it from here to places within 500 kilometers around, the profit of 10% is quite a lot. Although the profit of this kind of business is not very high, it cannot sustain our business.

Big, this kind of thing can be manipulated, but the initial investment is definitely not small. However, Li Conggang received hundreds of millions of money, so this small amount is nothing.

"Brother-in-law, I have calculated this matter. This transportation business is indeed possible. Although the profit is very small, we will still have a profit of about 5%, and manpower is so cheap outside now. We

The transportation profit can even reach 8%, which is already very good in the transportation industry." Boss Cui spent an entire afternoon calculating some transportation matters, and he was very conscientious.

"No, we can't take advantage of these people. If we take advantage of them at this time, the reputation of our Cao family transportation team will drop a lot. We can't do too much at the beginning. You'd better make your preliminary plans first.

It would be better if you tell me the plan." Li Cong knew that his brother-in-law had recently seen his generosity and felt that he had been a bit petty when he did things in the past. Although Li Cong didn't like this guy's petty attitude, he definitely didn't want it to come out.

Such a lavish guy. If he is so ambitious, he might as well be a little more arrogant.

"I have also seen some of the transportation teams around here. Basically, the teams are not small, with tens of thousands of people. They can transport more than 30,000 to 50,000 tons of grain on the road at one time. Many large grains

Commercial banks are looking for these people to do things, and they can do things well, but they are all small things that happened in our county in the past. Now we have to sell food to several surrounding provinces, and they are a bit unsatisfied.

, we now have hundreds of thousands of help workers, they can be converted into our official associates, we can sign a one-time contract with them for ten or twenty years, of course, you don't want to take advantage of them

, can we just set the price the same as other transport teams and not save it? Another thing is that we have so many experts who don’t need to pay these protection fees on the road when they go out. These fees are also quite a lot.

Yes, as far as I know, there are several groups of bandits around here, and the money they charge each time is not a small amount." Boss Cui is indeed very attentive, and has basically clarified these things.

"Haha, we still have to pay what we have to pay. But for such heinous guys, we can just kill them. In fact, some bandits are also very difficult. If there is a way out, who would abandon his wife at home?

There are many cases of children becoming bandits." Li Cong would still sympathize with some people in difficulty.

"Brother-in-law, I really don’t know what your heart is like. You are pitiful for everyone. Anyway, you are the boss of Cao Family Trading Company, and I am the one in charge. After some preliminary thought, we will form a team first.

A transportation team of 100,000 people, including 80,000 transportation personnel, 20,000 logistics and security personnel, purchased 50,000 carts, and 120,000 mules. Everyone who drives the carts knows that two mules are much more than two horses.

Okay, we are really spending money indiscriminately when we buy horses. This mule is a good companion of the transportation team. Of course, the horses we buy for the escort team must be horses. I did the math and it must be tens of thousands.

"Boss Cui has already listed this number very clearly. His brother-in-law's ability is still very good. Li Cong is also very satisfied in his heart. At least he can feel relieved when his brother-in-law does things. If he changes

If others said it, I wouldn't hand it over so confidently.

"Buy whatever you need to buy, and hire whatever you need. We can't save the guards along the way. We must have third- and fourth-level warriors, as well as first- and second-level warriors. I can get seventh-level warriors here.

If you go out one or two, you can also hire a few from the mercenary alliance. Anyway, safety must be guaranteed, otherwise people will be robbed on the road." Li Cong attaches great importance to safety issues.

"Yeah. I know this. In the past, no one was willing to rob food. Now that food has begun to be concentrated, the price has gone up. Now I think there are more people robbing food than there are people robbing gold and silver.

There are a lot more." Boss Cui also asked some people who were dawdling on the road, and they all said that the recent bandits wanted food.

In fact, Li Cong also knows that transportation is a good business. It would be nice if he could get a train. But for now, forget it. There is nothing modern here. And he has no independent control over anything, which is not nice to say.

Yes, even Xinjiang Ningcheng himself has not yet won it. Although all parties have acknowledged his urgent status, the real situation is not necessarily like this, and people here may not all like him.

After taking care of these things, Li Cong went to the military camp outside the city. This was an army of several million people. Plus various other local armies, there were more than 7 million people. These people's daily food and drink was

A large number of people told their quartermaster the price of their food, and one by one they began to sign contracts with Li Cong. Such a deal could make them drink a lot of soldiers' blood.

, this person sells it cheaply. If the extra money cannot be divided, how can he afford the skin on his body? Therefore, every quartermaster has been living a good life recently.

A month later, the second transaction of the Cao Family Trading Company started. This month's profit was indeed very good. Of course, the main reason was the sale of this magic arrow. Each planet earned nearly 400 million silver. Li Cong

I'm too lazy to care about these things. Anyway, there are special people watching. If I watch it, others will feel uncomfortable. It's better to do your own thing honestly. This grain transaction also takes a month to transport.

More than 10 million tons have gone out. Fortunately, this granary is outside the city. If it were inside the city, none of these people would be able to leave the city. The carriages transporting grain would have to block the city gate every day.

"Boy, you are really a capable person. In the past, I felt that you relied on your own talent to become that old guy's apprentice. I feel that you are really lucky. You must know that several of your senior brothers have become your master's apprentices.

But after wasting a lot of effort, you kid became your master's apprentice without any effort. Your fate is really good. I have been with you for more than a month. I can see that,

You are not only lucky, but your brain is also indispensable." After training with Li Cong that day, Mr. York felt that Li Cong's skill progress was very good, and said with a smile, Li Cong can

He said he was the most improved junior he had ever seen.

"That's natural. We also have our own real abilities. If we don't have this ability, won't we embarrass my teacher? By the way, Mr. York, do you think my current ability can be used in the Warcraft Mountains to practice for a while?

?" Li Cong thought for a while and said, he still yearns for the Warcraft Mountains very much. What happened last time made Li Cong feel very exciting, so he still wants to go in and give it a try.

"Enter the Warcraft Mountains?" Mr. York glanced at Li Cong, his look was a bit...hmm, he looked down upon him, "It's okay for you to enter the Warcraft Mountains, but I have to give you a suggestion. You can't take any of your people with you.

, you go to the Mercenary Alliance to hide your identity, then join a team and go in with them. Your current strength can enter the Interruption, but I see that you have no experience fighting against Warcraft, so you can only wander around the outside.

That's it." Mr. York said, if Li Cong brought his own escort in, it would be impossible to feel any danger. Those who enter the Warcraft Mountains to practice hope that they can make progress.

It is most effective to walk on the edge of danger. If you go in with your own guards, it will be of no use at all.

"I think so too. I really can't understand what's going on here. It's better to go in slowly from the outside. But what if I really die inside?" Li Cong said with some worry,

Last time, Li Cong saw how terrifying the monsters were, and if there were a few who targeted him, he might die faster.

"Haha. You cunning boy, let me tell you, your master asked me to protect you with conditions. For example, he said that if you enter the Warcraft Mountains, I can only follow you within a range of ten kilometers at most, unless

Your life is in danger, otherwise I wouldn't be able to show up. And I can only save you once. If you really die in the Warcraft Mountains, then I'm sorry. You can only die there as food for the Warcraft.

"York said, Li Cong's master is a great magician. He knows very well that people who have not experienced life and death cannot survive in this world, so Li Cong must enter there to train. Others

No one can give Li Cong anything. Once inside, all Li Cong can rely on is himself.

"Ten kilometers..." Li Cong said helplessly. In fact, he was looking forward to this kind of mercenary life. He also wanted this kind of mercenary life. He had already registered as a mercenary, so why not go to the mercenary alliance to have a look?
