Chapter 60:Living Off the Mountain, Living Off the Sea

Liu Peng grabbed a few pieces of tea, put it on the nose to smell the aroma, and carefully appreciative once: "It is indeed Linqingzhou's first-class good tea, only in Hangzhou City, this can only be regarded as the third class of tea."

Shen Bin immediately said: "Others told me, this is Longjing tea on the edge of the West Lake, in Hangzhou is the best first-class good tea!"

"It's good, but it's not Hangzhou's Longjing tea!"Liu Peng said: "Hangzhou's Longjing tea has a high score, not to mention that this is only Longjing tea outside Hangzhou, which can only be the third class."

Shen Bin nodded and said, "This Longjing tea thing, I don't understand, how do you say it, but I want to ask the happy forest thing, is it really good to earn?"That's a matter in the book, and we in Huangxian don't have the good conditions of Mengzhou, and I have to understand this."

Speaking of this, Shen Bin opened the box, he said: our Huang County is a real hard place, a poor place, a judgment, in Jiangnan can easily fish six thousand silver a year, in our state of the hard place, to complete a pass judgment can have six thousand two is good, I think the way said by the wise son is really good, that is, we are too bitter and too poor, I am afraid that the happy forest is not so happy.

Shen Bin made a good summary: "If there is really so much money in the account, I am afraid that the judgment of the palace is not happy with me."

Shen Bin said the truth.

There is a Ming generation, Huang County in the Ming Dynasty belongs to the western three provinces, often called "green, Deng, Lai in trouble", and the East three provinces "Ji, Yan, East disease in service" in stark contrast.

In the end of the world, the West Three Provinces are in a very difficult place, although people often say "East people haggard, Ximin rich", but the West three provinces have always been close to the canal of the East Three Provinces have a big gap, can be said to be the whole of Shandong's poorest and most backward areas.

Not to mention the three western provinces, that is, the three more economically developed provinces, throughout the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy is extremely underdeveloped backward areas, and even most of northern China has long been in the threat of poverty.

A North Korean emissary who had traveled in North China was the only city in his eyes that Linqing was the only city with unlimited vitality and vitality, and the rest of the cities were threatened by decay.

Although this statement is exaggerated, but the northern China because of the ruthless destruction of the early Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy has been devastating, many places once degraded to the point of almost barter, even after experiencing the slow recovery and development of the late Ming Dynasty, but the level of economic development still remained at a low level.

In the world-of-life novel "Awakening Marriage", which reflects the customs and people of Jinan Province, the two characters have had an extremely interesting conversation with Professor Xue.

Di said: "I do not lie everywhere, only the land is not sold, into a few generations to pass on, it is really the world."But this road to the East Three Houses, in addition to planting land, also has all the business to do.There is very little cloth shop here, to use cloth, either in the house to buy, or in the county to buy, very inconvenient.

Professor Xue said, “Or you can’t sell it, why don’t you have an opening?”

Di said, “People elsewhere, who will leave home to open the shop?”The local people only know that they have finished his task of planting a few acres of land, and this profitable livelihood is some will not be.That is, if you open this inn, it is not to make money in the diet, but to rest those heads to earn his dung.The humbly diet grass, just sold the money, coaxed the foot of the house."

This dialogue can be seen in the level of commercial development of some Ming Dynasty Shandong, the first is that the business atmosphere is astounding, the local people only value land sales, conservative family business or become a big landowner, "land is not sold, into several generations, really the world", in addition to "making money for the living is some will not".

Second, want to buy goods in the local is extremely inconvenient, Di outside the Mingshui town is already close to the provincial city to the East three capital road important market town, from the provincial city Jinan Province but a hundred miles away, but not even a shop, to buy this kind of daily necessities must go to Jinan Province or Zhangqiu County to buy.

Third, the business atmosphere is extremely weak, the consumption capacity is even weaker, and even foreigners are not willing to shop here, and even Di's own innkeeper is not to make money, but just to make some manure.

In this case, Shen Bin is the initial extreme excitement, soon found the weakness of Liu Peng plan, even if Liu Peng is full, but he can not let the iron tree flower, a grass city where can earn so much silver, in the poor place of Dengzhou capital, a good judgment can not earn so much money ah!

But Liu Peng has long been prepared, he told Shen Bin: "Uncle Shen said very well, but Uncle Shen is a little want to be a bad pool, did not think about my thinking, running a happy forest is a great thing, but certainly can not fully follow the road in the book to do, to be in accordance with the local conditions with the times, Shen uncle, you forgot what we are here, we are Dengzhou capital ah!"

“The state capital?”

Shen Bin did not react for a while, he asked: "We are a poor place in the state capital!"

Liu Peng laughed, “Uncle Shen, eat the mountains, eat the sea by the sea!”

Liu Peng said so, not to mention Shen Bin, that is, Jiang Qingyue all figured out what Liu Peng was playing.

Whether it is Shen Bin or Jiang Qingyue, I did not expect Liu Peng's courage to be so big and considered so far-reaching.

Shen Bin immediately asked: "My nephew, is this happy forest to be done is not a grass market, but is ready to make a few boats to Liaodong to do maritime merchants?"Although the profit of this sale is large enough, the cost is too risky!Go back and forth at least a few thousand or two at a time, and this is the risk of killing the head!”

Jiang Qingyue Liaohai dozens of times, for the sea changes is the most familiar, but she first reacted: "Liu Shao is not to want to do a boat, is to make a private port!" 」

“Private port?”Shen Bin took a cold breath, and he shook his head hard: "This is too risky, this is really going to kill the head."

Liu Peng said with great confidence: "Uncle Shen, the silver will not fall from the sky, want to have free money every day, there are three or two silver at the end of the month to find, naturally have to take some risks to bear some trouble ah!"Uncle Shen, you also said that if this is done, it will be faster than a government judgment!”

"If Uncle Shen is really unwilling to partner, I will find other friends to do this business, the government's knowledge, judgment, county, thin, see so much silver, certainly willing to partner with me!" 」
