If you make a large-scale acquisition, you will need to invest a lot of money, and then a large amount of money will flow into the four cities.
Most importantly, Sichuan peppercorns are not grown on a large scale; they are almost all harvested from the mountains and used as a spice. The amount consumed is very small. It is possible to recoup the cost, but the time required to do so is extremely long.
If this continues, a large amount of silver will flow into the four cities in a short period of time.
"Mr. Liu, are you confident you can manage this amount of money?"
He wasn't worried about anything else, just one thing: would Liu Feng ask him for money when he was short of cash?
"rest assured."
Liu Feng smiled confidently.
Right now, I have no worries about money. Not to mention the profits from the trading company, there are the profits from my own salt and cloth production alone.
They had enough money to do many things.
Now, before the military expansion, we are in a state of having money but nowhere to spend it.
Liu Feng wanted to stockpile more supplies for the army, but the productivity of this era was only so high, and the grain output was only so small. Where could he buy them?
There is fodder available, but we can't be ripped off.
Moreover, fodder is a very scarce commodity, since it is harvested only once a year in autumn.
So even if Liu Feng wanted to hoard them, he didn't have that many.
As for Sichuan peppercorns, that's Liu Feng's second step in his plan.
Liu Feng has not yet told Song Gaoyan about the third step of the plan.
The real way to make money is through this third step.
That means if you stockpile enough Sichuan peppercorns, then in many cases, there will be a shortage of Sichuan peppercorns in the four cities.
At this point, Liu Feng introduced his own chili peppers. The flavor of chili peppers was more suitable for this humid and hot place than Sichuan peppercorns, quickly filling the gap left by the Sichuan peppercorns.
Therefore, the real money-maker isn't Sichuan peppercorns, but rather the high-priced chili peppers.
After all, Sichuan peppercorns can be produced in the surrounding mountains.
However, only Liu Feng is capable of producing chili peppers.
