Chapter 4031: So fast

"Ah, planting watermelons, where do we get watermelon seeds? The land in Jincheng is very cheap, but where do we get good seeds." An old man who followed Li Jun scratched the back of his head and had a headache.

"Let's go to West Asia to sell sugar, and then buy dried fruits with some jade, isn't it?" Another old man who is also used to international trade said with some dissatisfaction. Although watermelon is good, it is too difficult to farm. Big.

To engage in international trade, as long as there are suppliers, channels, and contacts, you can make money without losing money.

Why do they Liangzhou people can afford international trade? Isn't it because they have connections and channels? As for suppliers, buying things like this can be traded with the Qiang people.

Although the government clearly ordered that Xiliang people are forbidden to oppress Qiang people, but in the way of doing business and buying things from Qiang people, Liangzhou men dare to pat their chests to ensure that they will not be killed by Qiang people as pigs, let alone. Buy at a low price, at least to ensure parity.

This can't be regarded as bullying. I pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and asked the other party what the price of the thing was, and the other party gave me a price. I would raise it a little bit.

Although this is also a hooliganism, there is really no way to investigate this.

Relying on purchasing materials from professional suppliers, and then relying on its own channels and contacts, reselling sugar, raw silk, etc. to West Asia, obtaining a lot of income, and then buying dried fruits, olive oil, jade, etc. on the spot. Sell ​​along the way and buy new materials.

After a trip, as long as the combat effectiveness is strong enough, it only takes about a year. It is said that it is running around, working hard, and earning some hard money, but in fact it makes a lot of money.

This is also the key to the maintenance of Li Jun’s horse team. Although everyone is brothers from Liangzhou, they still have to support their families. International trade business, as long as the upstream and downstream are connected, is actually quite good. The only drawback is the contact. too troublesome.

A trip can take as little as half a year, and as long as it can take one or two years. Even if one trip can make a lot of money, it is better to stay at home for those with orphans and widows.

So Li Juncai came to Niyang during the intermittent period when a wave of business was done last year. After all, he was doing business in China. If he wanted to come back, he had to work harder. He would come back in a month or two. After all, his son Three or four years old, and not having a home for a year, I don’t even know each other when I come back.

The father will inevitably feel distressed, so he is thinking about transformation.

"The God of Wealth is showing the way." Li Jun looked at the two old brothers and said, "It was Tai Wei Xuan De Gong and Shang Shu Pu shooting Chen Hou. Big man, there is no need to cheat us."

When the surrounding brothers heard this, their faces were shocked. Some of them had met Liu Bei when they were calling the soldiers, but they didn’t know each other for a long time. But now Li Jun picks it up, and the impression is instantaneous. On the right, there was no more hesitation immediately.

"Growing watermelons, although I don't understand why growing watermelons can make money, I still have to listen to God of Fortune's guidance." After a group of people realized who they had met before, they immediately gave up their ideas. That's right, God of Fortune gave directions. Woolen cloth!

"Tou Li, you actually know Taiwei, and you gave Taiwei some food before, but Taiwei actually ate it directly. I can see that he can be trusted." The old brother on the side said immediately, they all used to Thought Li Jun was bragging.

"Of course, I was also a renown man back then. If it weren't for the first support beast, his uncle, those beasts were too cruel." Li Jun immediately blew away, his legs were the first support soldiers. Interrupted.

I was able to connect, but it took a long time. After time, the military doctor’s skills were not in place, causing Li Jun to become lame. Although the combat effectiveness was still very strong after the prosthesis was installed, he was still discharged. The competition among the cavalry is too fierce.

Then I didn't blow it up, I was teased by the surrounding brothers, and then a group of people began to expose Laodie, and it quickly turned into a scream.

"You actually let them grow watermelons in Liangzhou. It's not a financial way. There are a lot of fruits grown there, but due to transportation, dried fruits such as raisins are the mainstream. I remember you were in Liangzhou. The main processing workshop is to make raisins, wine and the like." Liu Bei recalled and said.

The most important raisins in the entire Han Dynasty, dried wolfberries and other things, basically come from the western Liangzhou and Xinzhou regions, and the production is very sufficient.

Even Chen Xi’s main workshops in Liangzhou and Xinzhou, except for cotton, raisins, wine, goji berry, pepper, red dates, beef and mutton, are basically small-scale self-produced and sold. What kind of pears? Apples, white apricots, and cantaloupes are all produced and sold locally and cannot be delivered locally.

"In fact, there are many more. I have also built a lot of workshops over there." Chen Xi said blankly, "but one thing is very good, dried fruits are indeed the mainstream."

Dried goji berries are also considered to be a kind of dried fruit these days, even if someone has eaten them as red raisins for a long time, there is no problem.

"Then you ask that guy to grow watermelons, isn't that cheating?" Liu Bei said angrily.

"That was before, and it will be different from this year. Xianhe will definitely finish laying the main road logistics channel this year. As long as there is no error in the calculation, the efficiency of the logistics transfer is enough to support the watermelon from Jincheng to Chang'an." Chen Xi Said calmly.

From Jincheng to Chang'an, if you really want to say that the distance is far, it is actually not very far. The true distance is about 500 kilometers. Of course it could not be shipped before. Even if it is shipped, the cost will explode, but now it is not. It's the same.

For things like logistics, the cost of sending a small piece and sending a large piece in a single shipment does not break the upper limit. Therefore, the process of logistics operation has a very high demand for mathematical statistics.

Simply put, it is the optimal situation that the jurisdiction covered by a certain logistics park can reserve the materials that the transportation team is just full of when the next batch of transportation teams arrive. And the cost per unit weight is the lowest.

There is also the location of this logistics park, which happens to be able to support the operation of this logistics park, even if it does not make money, as long as it does not lose money, it will be profitable for this kind of operation.

Therefore, it is very important to develop a logistics park. The logistics park must have sufficient material distribution. That is to say, the scale sent here and the scale sent from here are just enough to carry, which is the best result. Of course, this This kind of thing is unrealistic and needs to be considered comprehensively, because logistics is generally calculated based on unit weight.

If these nodes were not opened before, of course they could not be shipped out. Now Jianyong wants to open the nodes, so even if it is to reduce losses, it is actually a good thing to let the local production of large-scale materials that can be transported now.

"That is to say, once Xianhe has opened up the logistics channel of the Western Regions, after the arrangement is completed, the local watermelons can actually be shipped out?" Liu Bei said astonished.

"Yes, not just watermelons, in fact, all kinds of fruits can be shipped here, and the cost is very low, because there is no need for etching technology, no need to build a large etching heat preservation warehouse, Jincheng is only a thousand miles away from Chang'an, as long as the watermelon is not opened , The shelf life is more than ten days, and Xianhe is an inter-city logistics, if you change people and horses for transportation..." Chen Xi looked very calm.

Don’t say it’s a change of people and horses. After it started, it was definitely a starry night. According to the **** horse, he would walk 20 miles per hour to pull the goods. In three shifts, he would be able to run four or five hundred miles a day. As for the workers’ wages, this The groom spends almost a thousand dollars a month at the beginning of the year, and the average price is spread to each watermelon, and the freight rate may only be two or three cents.

Jincheng's watermelon ran to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty. A complete large watermelon only gained two or three cents, not to mention the scarcity, and the proper and cheap sales can make a profit.

More importantly, it also solves some of the staff's work problems. The advantage of intercity logistics is that many employees can return home every other day, which is acceptable to most people who are unwilling to leave their hometown.

To be honest, if you can't accept this, then Chen Xi will probably not be able to solve any problems even if he creates a local township enterprise.

Of course, this must be very large, starting at more than 100,000 mu, otherwise the logistics freight rate will be uneven, so whether Li Jun does it or not, Chen Xi will definitely set up a farm over 100,000 mu next year. , After all, the watermelon of this year, even after the cookie is domesticated, the output is not high, and the damage to the ground is quite terrible.

But that’s okay. There may be a shortage of other places in the Han Dynasty. There is no shortage of places to grow watermelons. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

Liu Bei took a breath after listening to Chen Xi's introduction. This is too ridiculous, is it really so efficient? Watermelons from Jincheng can be sent directly from Jincheng to Chang'an in two to three days. Doesn't this mean that troops can be sent from Chang'an to Jincheng?

Why was the Battle of Jincheng so difficult? To put it bluntly, isn't it because there was a problem with the ability of the Han Chinese to deploy troops? With such crazy delivery efficiency now, Liu Bei thought that there was no problem in blasting the head of the rebels. Don't look at the **** of the Lingdi, but the opponents close to the Lingdi at the same time would most likely not be able to beat the ticket under the Lingdi. Military commander.

"Isn't this normal? I spent almost ten years on perfecting the infrastructure a little bit. It's now the summer of the seventh year of Yuanfeng. I will have some results." Chen Xi looked proud and Liu Bei was speechless. It can be said.
