Chapter 938 Cooperation
"Master Wu, since you are here, let's get straight to the point. I won't hide anything. We are indeed planning to sell our snowflake salt to Jiangnan. This way, the price can at least double. We are all ordinary people. We just want to make a living and earn more money."
Wu Xiumin admired the boy in front of her, no, the girl in front of her, she was smart, intelligent, and had a cheerful personality. She did not evade or hide anything, but instead spoke frankly and put it on the table.
"Mr. Jiang, since you are honest, I will not hide anything. The purpose of my visit this time is for the snowflake salt from your Lijia Village. You sell the snowflake salt to Jiangnan to make more money.
In this case, we will sell this snowflake salt directly to our Wu family. We can give you an additional five taels of silver on top of the previous price. Of course, the price you want to double is still a long way to go.
We can certainly do it when we get to Jiangnan, but the cost of carriages and manpower along the way will naturally reduce the profit. Why don't you just sell this snowflake salt to our Wu family?
The rest of the carriages and manpower will be borne by our Wu family. For both of us, it is a win-win situation. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitated. Her purpose was to get information from the outside world.
You don’t have to go to Jiangnan.
Compared with the advanced technology of later generations, in ancient times, traveling by boat and carriage was indeed a difficult journey.
Even now Jiang Xiaoxiao still can't get used to riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
It is said that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. The Wu family in front of us obviously has rich resources behind it.
If they cooperate with each other, maybe they can get what they want easily.
"Master Wu, it's not impossible for us to cooperate. But Master Wu, I want to add a condition to our cooperation this time."
Wu Xiumin smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, please speak."
If the handsome young man in front of me didn't have any qualifications, then there would be a problem.
"I just need the reports from each government office every ten days."
This request was beyond Wu Xiumin's expectations.
The people who need the court bulletins are the patriarchs and officials of some big families, in order to gain insight into the court's movements, but why would a country boy do that?
"That's easy."
Wu Xiumin didn't think much about it. It was a simple matter. No matter what the other party's purpose was, it would not harm the interests of the Wu family. Moreover, the other party obviously had the method to improve the black salt and coarse salt.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for snowflake salt to appear in large quantities.
She had already asked someone to investigate the fact that Lijia Village was able to produce its own snowflake salt.
No matter how meticulously Li Tieniu and his men work, they are just country boys after all. How smart can they be?
How could there be no news about her people?
After investigation, it was found that the people of Lijia Village were originally salt dealers who smuggled salt. These salt dealers can now produce white snowflake salt, which proves that they have the recipe in their hands.
The most obvious change in Lijia Village is the addition of a young master named Jiang.
This Mr. Jiang happened to be a woman dressed as a man, so the most likely possibility is that he is a young lady from a wealthy family in the court. From the way he talks, his aura, and his demeanor, we can tell that he is a well-educated person.
Completely different from ordinary country villagers.
If that’s the case, why can’t we cooperate?
Maybe the other party is a lady in distress from a certain family. As long as the other party does not infringe on one's own interests, it is not a bad idea to cooperate with each other.
And now she really needs this salt road of Snowflake Salt to open some roads in the court for them, and of course also to clean up some people with ulterior motives who covet the position of the head of the family.
In this case, why not join forces?
The two parties renegotiated the contract.
This time, the snowflake salt was sold to the Wu family at 15 taels of silver per catty.
The existing 4,000-plus kilograms of snowflake salt had already been loaded onto a horse-drawn carriage and covered with some grain bags. Now, all of them had been loaded onto the Wu family's horse-drawn carriage and were being transported away directly by the Wu family.
They were directly given 67,500 taels of silver for 4,500 kilograms of snowflake salt.
The remaining snowflake salt will be delivered ten days later.
Wu Xiumin said goodbye.
After seeing Wu Xiumin off, Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed.
Fortunately, Wu Xiumin can still provide her with some information, but it seems that she also has to find a way to build an information network across the country. If she relies solely on the Wu family, her future will not be secure.
Some of the information she wanted was probably something no one could have imagined.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was not stingy with such a large sum of money.
The silver was directly divided into three parts, one for Lijia Village, one for Linjia Village and one for her.
Of course, as usual, she took out half of the silver and gave it directly to Li Tieniu.
Let them continue to allocate a portion of the silver to improve the housing conditions of each household in the village.
In addition, we will continue to help Linjia Village repair the city walls and continue to find some refugees in the city.
Since you have a lot of money, why not expand the village?
With more people, they will make this place more prosperous.
Didn’t you see that these 400 people reclaimed 400 acres of wasteland?
These 400 acres of wasteland are enough to feed the entire village.
Jiang Xiaoxiao worked to improve these wastelands. Of course, the wastelands are indeed wastelands, and it is also true that they are barren.
The biggest reason why people can't make a living is the land problem. The soil quality of the land irrigated with the spiritual spring water in the space has indeed improved, and the rice seeds produced in her space will have a more abundant harvest when cultivated.
She has the ability to improve the world, so why not do what she can to allow more people to live a stable life.
She wanted to take this opportunity to select some good talents from among the refugees, spread them out intelligently, and form a network she needed.
This is also the only way for Jiang Xiaoxiao to get manpower. She can't disrupt the daily lives of all the villagers and force them to help her. This is not appropriate. Instead, the lives of those refugees will be guaranteed, and they will have money to live a stable life that was rarely seen in the past.
They just need to find out some information, there is no risk or danger, how many people would be eager to rush to live such a life.
Besides, more refugees know that Master Jiang’s presence here is the guarantee of their lives.
They would be willing to work for Mr. Jiang even if it meant death.
Of course, these people who go out have been trained in advance, and first of all, they must have certain skills.
They also have to go through some special anti-detection training. These are the learning experiences Jiang Xiaoxiao gained from Song Moting, and of course her son and daughter also taught her some experiences.
Now all of them are used to train these people. I believe this will be an elite team.
Although they are not as good as real scouts, if they were to be shown off, they might actually have real skills.
