Chapter 566 3 Not Profitable

The next day, Meng Yunqi and the others took the contract stamped with Yunzheng's seal and left Mayi with satisfaction.

The food matter was settled, and Yunzheng was ready to leave Mayi for the Military Academy in Luoxia Mountain.

The first batch of 300 students from the military academy has arrived.

As the dean of the military academy, he had to go see it no matter what.

Before he left, Zhang Xu honestly told Yun Zheng the benefits those four people had given him.

The four of them also spent a lot of money in order to build a good relationship with Zhang Xu.

All the money the four of them earned from the grain they brought this time was given to Zhang Xu. If you include the people eating horse chews while transporting the grain, they would have lost money this time.

However, no smart businessman cares about this little money.

The business behind is the real big business!

The key is that they have a good relationship with Zhang Xu, the God of Wealth!

Among the four, Wu Yuxuan is the most generous.

Last night, Wu Yuxuan chatted with Zhang Xu for the longest time and promised to give Zhang Xu 50% of the profits from subsequent grain sales.

Meng Yunqi and others also secretly wanted to share the profits with Zhang Xu, but they were not as generous as Wu Yuxuan.

After all, Wu Yuxuan was in Fuzhou.

The cost of transporting food alone is lower than them.

Moreover, since Wu Yuxuan is in Fuzhou, it will definitely be more convenient to communicate with Shuobei in the future.

If Wu Yuxuan wants to earn more money from Shuobei, he must first spend some money.

As Zhang Xu spoke, he handed Yun Zheng the banknotes that the four people had given him last night.

"Just keep it yourself!"

Yun Zheng smiled and glanced at Zhang Xu, "Have you suffered too little from our business? Do I still have to distinguish it so clearly with this little money?"

"Isn't this one code equal to one code?" Zhang Xu chuckled.

"fart!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Neither you nor I regard wealth as life, so don't get so angry."

Saying that, Yun Zheng blocked Zhang Xu's hand holding the banknote back.

Although he and Zhang Xu were said to be doing business together, it was actually more like two people trying their best to make money to meet Shuo Bei's needs.

If he needs it, Zhang Xu's money will be used at any time.

Only when Shuo Bei gets on the right track can he have a chance to make up for what he owes Zhang Xu.

Now, there is no need to be so clear-cut.

"All right!"

Zhang Xu smiled and put the money back into his sleeve.

Yun Zheng smiled and then ordered: "Ask those merchants you know to spread the news about our high-priced grain harvest to everyone as soon as possible!"

Businessmen pursue profit.

You can obviously sell the grain in Shuobei at a high price, so why sell it to those grain merchants?

"Don't worry, Your Highness, they have already started taking action!"

Zhang Xu chuckled and asked worriedly: "Your Highness, what if they really collect enough food and transport all the food here within three months? We can't really press such a high price Has the price been paid for everything?"

Yunzheng nodded: "If they really have this ability, then let's admit it!"

In fact, as long as he does not want the grain from those grain merchants to arrive within the stipulated time, those grain merchants will definitely not be able to deliver all the grain within the stipulated time.

However, doing so is no different from robbery.

Zhang Xu was surprised, "Your Highness, this is not your style!"

"Shit style!"

Yunzheng shook his head and smiled, "We do have many ways to prevent them from delivering food on time, but we can't do this! We will continue to trade with the customs in the future, and we can't ruin the reputation of the entire Shuobei because of this!"

They can use some means to defraud those grain merchants, but they cannot use the name of the government to rob.

If Shuobei is to develop, it cannot just rely on them to build some workshops.

We must create a good business environment in Shuobei so that businessmen in the pass are willing to do business in Shuobei.

"Too!"

Zhang Xu nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "Even if we buy grain at a high price from these grain merchants, and wait until other grain merchants get the news and transport the grain to Shuobei, we can still use His Highness's plan Buy cheap food!”

"Yes! If they do it, we will advertise it to Shuobei!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled, and said: "I have two more things here. I need you to hurry up and get them. If a plague really breaks out in the south, these two things may be useful."

After hearing what Yunzheng said, Zhang Xu suddenly became interested.

Yun Zheng didn't bother Zhang Xu and directly told Zhang Xu how to make masks and protective clothing.

Masks are quite simple. You can make them with just a few layers of muslin and silk.

Although this thing is not as good as N95 masks, it is definitely better than nothing.

As for protective clothing, in the absence of corresponding materials, the only option is to add a hood to the existing clothing, soak it in tung oil, and use tung oil to form an isolation layer on top.

Yun Zheng still doesn't know how effective it will be.

But it’s still better than nothing!

However, this kind of clothing must be kept away from open flames.

Otherwise, wearing this clothes is basically equivalent to carrying an explosive pack.

Of course, this is just Yunzheng's initial idea.

If Zhang Xu could find something else to replace the tung oil to form an isolation layer, Yun Zheng would certainly be more happy.

These two things are very simple. Zhang Xu understood it as soon as Yun Zheng said it.

However, Zhang Xu didn't understand its purpose.

"Your Highness, what are these two things used for?"

Zhang Xu asked curiously.

Yunzheng smiled and said: "It is used to prevent and control the plague."

"Prevent and control the plague?"

Zhang Xu's heart moved and he immediately asked: "Your Highness, are you sure these two things are useful in preventing and treating the plague?"

"Sure!"

Yunzheng said firmly: "Wearing such clothes and a mask can definitely reduce the possibility of people contracting the plague."

Seeing that Yunzheng said so confidently, Zhang Xu no longer had any doubts.

Zhang Xu rolled his eyes, and immediately said with bright eyes: "Your Highness, we can hoard masks and protective clothing. If a plague really breaks out in the south, we can..."

"Don't even think about this!"

Yun Zheng immediately put an end to Zhang Xu's idea of ​​getting rich and said seriously: "Although I also like silver, remember, there are three types of silver that we cannot earn!"

"Which three?" Zhang Xu stopped his joking and asked seriously.

Yunzheng: "Wealth from national calamity, benefit from natural disasters, food for the poor and weak!"

The letter he asked Mushun to bring back to Emperor Wen also stated how to make masks and protective clothing.

If a large-scale plague breaks out in the south, all of these things will come in handy.

Although he is not a gentleman, he will not make money from this kind of national crisis.

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Zhang Xu couldn't help but look ashamed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice, I understand!"

"There's no point in giving guidance or not."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "We want to make money. There are many ways. There is no need to make money while the country is struggling."

"Ok!"

Zhang Xu nodded seriously.
