Chapter 130 The Victory Conference (4 updates exceed 10,000)
The time has passed in recent years.
If he had been in Yanjing in previous years, Gao Pingshi would have even put on a fox-cropped cloak by now. However, now in Nanning, he is still wearing spring and autumn clothes, with a singlet and outer jacket, two pieces are just right.
According to his physical sense, it is estimated that the temperature in Nanning at this time is about 15 degrees Celsius, which is almost the most suitable temperature for human beings. The climate is really pleasant and the mood is comfortable.
Of course, the good mood is not just because of the temperature, the most important reason is because the Nanning conference was successfully concluded.
Simply put, this is a conference of unity, victory, and a conference that builds on the past and opens up the future. After the conference, Gao Pragmatic deeply realized that such a conference must be normalized, institutionalized, and standardized, and strive to further contribute to the harmonious society of Ming imperialism.
due contribution.
Hey, the words are mixed up? But it doesn’t matter, the general idea is almost the same.
Generally speaking, Gao Pingshi basically achieved what he wanted at this meeting. With his strong financial resources and brilliant entrepreneurial experience, he completely overawed the bumpkins in western Guangxi and southern Guangxi, making them satisfied and frightened, and they worshiped him one after another.
Under the great magic of gold and silver.
At this meeting, Gao pragmatically proposed several industrial plans that he had planned for a long time, and proposed a quota for the purchase of raw materials to the chieftains at relatively favorable prices, including but not limited to various types of wood, tung oil, crude sugar, etc.
, which also includes star anise, rosin, and various medicinal materials that are relatively produced in western and southern Guangxi.
Gao Mengnan proposed these latter goods to Gao Pragmatic because the sales of these goods in Guangdong are very good. Although medicinal materials are also produced in Guangdong, medicinal materials from Yunnan and Guangxi have always been very popular, not to mention that Guangdong also distributes them to other provinces.
, so we don’t have to worry about sufficient supply at all. The more sufficient the better.
Of course Gao Pragmatic listened to his advice. Anyway, he wanted to control the transportation and sales channels. It would not hurt him to sell more goods. On the contrary, the more goods he got, the more lifeline he would be able to strangle the chieftains, especially when they
After getting used to this kind of income, no one can bear it if it suddenly decreases.
Of course there is no problem for people who are used to walking on small roads to take the big roads, but if people who are used to walking on the big roads suddenly take the small roads, no one will feel better.
For the chieftains who have never seen big money, the purchase amount proposed by Gao Pingshi is completely astronomical. Many of them have never thought that the money for selling wood can be calculated in thousands or ten thousand taels——
In their eyes, this matter is nothing more than sending people up the mountain to cut down and carry them down. As for the cost, it is just to provide food for the lumberjacks and give them a small reward of three to five taels of silver every month. They don't even give silver or copper coins.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether it's homespun cloth or anything else.
Although the people at the high press have set very clear standards, such as what age the wood must be, how thick and long it must be, and cannot be bent, etc.
But those requests are nothing in the eyes of the chieftains - I can't say anything else in Guangxi, but don't you have as much wood as you need? Eight mountains, one water and one farmland, 80% of which are mountains, you're kidding
?
There is also the tung tree produced by the tung tree, which has always been abundant in Guangxi, both wild and cultivated. But in the past, people used it to subsidize expenses, but they didn’t take it seriously. They often used it.
These tung oils, which are quite precious in other places, are soaked here and there casually, and the purpose is just to make those things stronger.
For example, it is understandable that they soaked bamboo spears, but it is unreasonable to soak javelins (short spears). So what if you don't soak them in tung oil? They only need the spearhead to be made of iron and can break armor.
, what does it matter if the pole is slightly harder or softer?
You know, bamboo is the fastest growing, and there are a lot of bamboo mountains in Guangxi. It is more than enough to make many disposable bamboo javelins. You actually use tung oil to soak this, it is too extravagant!
In highly pragmatic terms, this is a typical case of overcapacity. Let me help you digest it... Where is the difficulty in selling tung oil? At the beginning of our big shipbuilding plan, how much tung oil can I take in if you have it?
, I can still sell it if I can’t use it. This is a global product. In the Age of Discovery, were you still afraid that tung oil would be hard to sell? It’s true that even Europeans can’t buy it.
And Gao Pragmatic is really not afraid of selling tung oil to Europeans. Could it be that if I sell tung oil to them, they can send their main fleet to East Asia to fight against the Ming Dynasty? Don’t be kidding, Europe is now in a mess, the Thirty Years War
The War of Independence with the Netherlands, the Anglo-Spanish War, etc. were all squeezed into the past few decades, and it was impossible for the main fleets of the European naval powers to be dispatched overseas.
Maybe if I sell some tung oil, they can fight more fiercely...
Therefore, when Gao Jingshi mentioned the acquisition of tung oil, the chieftains were also very interested, especially since Gao Jingshi could control the unified waterway transportation, and no one dared to ask him to collect additional taxes. Therefore, the profits were guaranteed, and they were given accordingly.
A relatively favorable purchase price was offered, and all parties were rushing to report the quantity and request supply.
As for the crude sugar, the competition is not so fierce - the Huang family and several branches have almost wrapped up the crude sugar!
This is not to be pragmatic and eccentric, but the core sphere of influence of the Huang family is almost Chongzuo City in later generations, and Chongzuo City is known as the Sugar Capital of China. Just one statistic will tell you how powerful it is: its sugar output in one city accounts for five of the country's total.
one part.
Therefore, the Huang family accepted the profits from the crude sugar without hesitation. If the Cen family had not had more tung trees, the two families would have staged a full-scale martial arts show at the venue.
In terms of timber, both sides have a lot of mountains, but after all, the Cen family covers a large area, and the quota allocated to them by Gao Pragmatic is a bit larger than that of the Huang family. As for what the profit ratio of both parties will be at that time, it is now unclear
It’s hard to say because the prices of various types of wood are not consistent. For example, the prices of fir and pine cannot be the same.
A striking feature of this conference is that Gao Pragmatic clearly takes care of the Cen and Huang families in terms of profit distribution, and among the two families, he also clearly takes care of the main family.
He even gave Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling a power that sounded insignificant but was actually very crucial, that is, Jinghua would only contact them two when receiving goods. In other words: Cen Ling was equivalent to "Jinghua Guixi Supplier General"
Agent", Huang Zhiting is equivalent to "Jinghua Guinan General Supply Agent".
Other toast supplies must first go through the hands of Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling before they can be transferred to Jinghua.
This is obviously not about Gao Pragmatic creating opportunities for his subordinates to be lazy, but the purpose of supporting their two families is to enhance their prestige so that they can truly control their entire clan.
And all of this is so that they can call on the chieftains within their sphere of influence to send troops to serve Gaoyantai in the near future.
Having accomplished so many big things at once, Gao Pragmatic certainly feels comfortable.
Now that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, and there is only one reason to launch a chieftain war against Annan instead of a national war.
