Volume 4: The Emperor's Controversy Chapter 33 Becoming the Proprietor It hasn't rained for a few days, and there is a lot of dust in Ludonglin Mansion.
Closing the door can make the air in the hall cleaner, but it is a little dark, and you have to light a candle to read the book so that you don't feel sad.
Li Xiping, who was habitually dressed in a gray civilian robe, sat in front of the desk, read a volume of official documents for a long time, and finally couldn't help but raise his head and sighed at the empty hall, "It's really a genius, no wonder the eldest princess will recommend you to Qingluan Academy." ” His sigh was for Lin Xi's heart.
Overhaul of water conservancy, is a huge amount of money, there is no previous budget, even if the entire Ludongling Divisions are frugal, they can't make up it at all, only layer by layer for approval, leaving it above to allocate more treasury silver in the coming year.
Lin Xi's plan to build a huge reservoir, dig ditches to drain water, and build sluices, the project takes longer than simply building a river dam, and the amount of silver required is also huge.
However, it was only because he was able to solve the shipping problems of the trading houses during the shallow water period, and then used the method of spending silver taels per month, that all the trading houses would approve within a day or two, and this ability really had nothing to do with whether or not he was a practitioner, but only came from his own insight and ability.
Li Xiping has still heard of measures such as repairing the reservoir and storing water, opening the gate regularly to raise the water level, so that ships can pass through, but the methods of disaster relief and monthly silver payment are too common for Lin Xi, but they are too amazing for the people of this world.
Moreover, in Lin Xi's plan, an agreement was also put forward to buy and sell "navigation water".
This agreement means that each large commercial bank that invests in the capital can become the owner of the reservoir that will be built at that time, according to the amount of capital contribution.
If the reservoir is opened to release water during the shallow water period in winter, and there are no merchant ships accompanying the company, the right of way during this period that was originally difficult to pass can also be sold to other businesses that want to open to ships.
This is the equivalent of buying and selling water for common use.
In this way, after the current business is good, and the cash in the hand has invested a lot, even if the future operation is not good, and the business house is sluggish, it can also make a profit through this one, because no one can say the ups and downs on the Xizi River, and no one can say that there will be a big business house in the future, but in that winter, there is no navigation right, and you have to ask others to buy it.
The most incredible thing about this "sailing" trade was that it did not hinder the interests of fishermen and small merchant houses at all, because the small merchant houses shipped small volumes, and there were no large merchant ships that could not go in shallow water.
In the past, large trading houses had to ship goods in shallow water in winter, and they also rented a large number of small merchant ships, which was much more economical than raising many small merchant ships and raising many people, but the two months were also a lot of amazing transportation costs.
Many of the methods in this plan are simply methods that have not been used by predecessors and famous ministers, and there is no precedent to follow.
Li Xiping didn't know how Lin Xi could have such amazing insight and talent, so he couldn't help but exclaim when there was no one here.
"You want to ask me to be the shopkeeper" In a secluded wine shop in Donggang Town, Lin Xi looked at Da Dexiang's proprietor, Xing Derong, and asked.
He is now the acting governor of Yanlai Town, and he has no furniture to take away in Donggang Town, but the Criminal Division's verdict on Xu Chengfeng has been issued, and the new town police station who has been transferred has not yet arrived, so he still has to finish the last thing in the Donggang Town Police Station, and he will behead Xu Chengfeng tomorrow.
An hour ago, Lin Xi had just received a group of personnel sent by the Criminal Division for execution, and had just negotiated some preliminary procedures with some seconded personnel from the Engineering Department before the start of construction of the dam.
In the establishment of the Yunqin court, there is no execution department in each town, and the execution of prisoners is all from the Lingjie Criminal Division, and the local town governor and town police station, arrest room, and prison officials must be present, and the execution must be carried out after verifying that the body is correct, and the execution must be verified again after the execution, and the signing of the document is completed.
The start date of the Yanlai Town Barrage Dam has also been preliminarily set, in addition to some of the cooperating engineering personnel required by the previous letter have been in place, and some craftsmen he asked Heng Rongchang and other commercial firms to help convene are also on the way one after another.
Suddenly, the owner of the commercial bank came to ask for a meeting, and Lin Xi thought that the other party was also anxious to "sail water" and wanted to invest in the bank.
He knows very well that the budget is one thing, the actual expenses are another, of course, the more the better, he naturally will not refuse, but what he didn't expect was that the other party came to him not for "sailing water", but for the "soap cream" that his father in Lulin Town is currently selling the best.
When he had just met with his family in the bamboo fence courtyard by the lake, and talked with his parents on the first night, when he talked about trivial matters and business at home, he heard his father say that there was a business firm that had been following his shop closely and making a lot of money.
And the meaning expressed by the other party made him a little surprised.
"Not the shopkeeper."
Hearing Lin Xi's words at this moment, Xing Derong shook his head humbly and said, "With Lord Xiaolin's identity and reputation, how dare I say that I have hired Lord Xiaolin as the shopkeeper of my small business firm." ” Lin Xi was slightly stunned and said, "Then what are your intentions?"
"I want the Lin family to join forces with my Dadexiang and be the owner together."
Xing Derong took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xi, and said seriously.
At this moment, Xing Tianyang was sitting under Xing Derong and bowed his head respectfully and listened, and when he heard this, he was also shocked, and couldn't help but raise his head violently.
Even he didn't expect his father to say such a thing in shock.
Lin Xi looked at the extremely serious Xing Derong and the shocked and inexplicable Xing Tianyang, couldn't help laughing, looked at Xing Derong and said, "You're not joking" Xing Derong said: "Where do you dare to joke with Lord Xiaolin, if you don't believe it, you can make a formal contract document on the spot." ” Lin Xi smiled: "How to cooperate with the law" Xing Derong said resolutely: "Both sides are big owners, no matter how big or low. ” After a slight pause, he was afraid that Lin Xi didn't know much, and explained: "Rong Shen Ji, the largest commercial house in Donglin Province, is the Rong family and the Shen family, two big proprietors. ” "You are not afraid of suffering" Lin Xi was even more shocked when he saw it, but he obviously still respected Xing Tianyang's decision very much, glanced at Xing Tianyang, and then turned his head to look at Xing Derong and asked.
Xing Derong sighed: "I was a little hesitant before, but after reading that plan, I am sure that Lord Xiaolin, you are a natural genius.
As long as Kobayashi-sama agrees, I will never regret it. ” "Okay."
Lin Xi smiled, picked up a bowl of red soup and cabbage noodles in front of him, and ate them naturally.
Xing Derong was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses a little, and said in a trembling voice in disbelief: "Lord Lin agreed" He didn't expect that Lin Xi's promise would be so natural and casual.
"yes."
Lin Xi nodded in front of Xing Derong and Xing Tianyang, signaling that the two of them could also order casually, and not talk about things hungry.
Seeing that Xing Derong was ecstatic and picked up the noodle bowl and drank a mouthful of noodle soup like a toast, he chuckled in his heart again, "You can try it." ” "Prepare paperwork."
Xing Derong turned his head to Xing Tianyang and commanded.
"Don't worry, since it's a joint venture, the two sides naturally have to trust each other, are you still afraid that I will regret it" Lin Xi knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and said, "I'll talk about it after eating." ” "That's what Lord Lin said."
Xing Derong was overjoyed, put his mind at ease, and ate a few bites, but he couldn't help but directly ask about the business matters, "Lord Lin, your idea is brilliant, this soap cream business will definitely make a lot of money in the future, but I'm just afraid that it will be too prosperous, and it is not difficult to do it, but it has attracted the attention of other big business houses, I don't know if you have some ideas to deal with it." ” Lin Xi said casually: "It's also simple to use anything, there are always some preconceived concepts."
You can make this soap paste more delicate, rub the soap paste with the name mark of Da De Xiang, make some exquisite patterns, and wait until other business houses find out, when they want to do this, everyone is used to Da De Xiang.
And Da Dexiang can also do some particularly elegant, materials and fancy particularly good gifts to some celebrities, when those celebrities are using Da Dexiang, Da Dexiang's soap paste has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, other firms want to follow the I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell too much Da Dexiang.
Moreover, this soap paste is a thin thing, and it is unrealistic to compete purely by lowering the price.

The only thing to worry about is that some big commercial houses monopolize raw materials, so if Dadexiang has the ability, he will produce his own raw materials. ” After a slight pause, Lin Xi added: "Anyway, this soap paste is used very quickly, and almost every household needs to use it, and it is a long-lasting business."
Next, as long as you keep leading the way, you can continue to make some improvements in style and utility. ” Xing Derong and Xing Tianyang had already been a little stunned when they heard it, and they only felt that Lin Xi's casual idea was simply brilliant.
"Our Dadexiang was originally in the honey business, I don't know if Lord Lin has any ideas."
Xing Derong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask in a slightly trembling voice.
"When I was in Lulin Town, I often ate the golden pomelo produced in the mountains and forests near Yunying Town."
Lin Xi thought about it and didn't answer directly, but asked: "It is said that the price of golden pomelo is already extremely high when it is transported outside Donglin Province, and only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford it."
"Lord Lin wants Da Dexiang to do the golden pomelo business" Xing Derong was stunned again, and said in surprise: "The golden pomelo is as expensive as gold in the province, because the entire Yunqin is only produced in our Ludongling area, even if it is transplanted elsewhere, the pomelo produced is small, and it is bitter and indescribable."
However, the golden pomelo is not durable, and it changes color and shriveles in less than ten days, and the flesh loses its original taste.
It takes more than 10 days to transport it by convoy to the outside of the province.
Only by using fast horses overnight, the delivery volume is not large, so the price is so expensive. ” "It can be made into golden pomelo honey tea."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "After steaming and drying the golden pomelo slices, put them in honey, and then canning them with wax sealing, it is extremely difficult to spoil, and I have made them at home in the past few years."
If it is sent outside Donglin Province, it should sell very well, and the profit should not be low. ” Xing Derong was a little skeptical, "This idea is excellent, but I don't know if everyone accepts it."
"Try it and you'll see."
Lin Xi waved his hand confidently, thinking that the grapefruit tea that was not available in this world was about to appear, he couldn't help but smile brightly.
He didn't value the glory and wealth of this world, so when he saw that Xing Derong was serious, he casually agreed regardless of whether the other party was a second-rate or third-rate small business firm.
He didn't have any idea of how Da Dexiang would become a big business house, he just thought that it would be good to try, and it would be good to have more interesting things in this world.
But for his ideas, he naturally has absolute confidence.
Because as a business, the most important thing is not the quality of your goods, but whether people accept them or not.
He is a person from another world like Dean Zhang, and his ideas are all verified for I don't know how many years, and what the public needs.
Soap, soap and the like, the world he was familiar with before has been used for I don't know how many years and is still using it well, naturally it is a good business that can be done for a long time, as for grapefruit tea, there are naturally many people who like it, so this thing will exist for a long time, and for Yun Qin, it is even more novel, because only Lu Dongling produces pomelo, Yun Qin so many people from other provinces, I am afraid that they will at least want to taste what this grapefruit tastes like It has only been a few decades since Yun Qin was officially founded, and most of the land has been defeated later, and most of the goods are only to meet the most basic needs, and where are there so many tricks in the world that Lin Xi is familiar with At present, among the many people who are bent on dealing with Lin Xi, the Liu family where Liu Ziyu is located has gained great benefits from his dealings with some trading houses, and under the guidance of Su Zhongwen, a powerful strategist of the Liu family, he has begun to pay attention to this aspect.
It's a pity that Liu Ziyu and Su Zhongwen don't know that in this regard, Liu Ziyu and Lin Xi are born with a gap that is like heaven and earth, and it is impossible to touch.
Just when Lin Xi and Xing Derong were talking about things, Jiang Xiaoyi was watching fishing on the river not far away.
Xu Sheng and some fishermen took the cage one after another to see if they had caught any pike.
"Boom" A burst of cheers rang out, a burst of joy on the river, and a huge sound of water sounded in the second steel cage, which made the entire steel cage shake constantly, and there was a huge iron-headed pike inside.
In the cheers, Jiang Xiaoyi, who was also cheering, happened to see a person on the bank of the river, and was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise, "Why are you here":
