Chapter 584

Compared with horses and cattle, although the price of sheep is much lower, it can not stand a large amount.

Outside Lanzhou, as cattle and horses are gradually sold, the number of businessmen around sheep is greatly reduced. Even if there are several businessmen to buy sheep, the amount of achievements is pitiful.

"Shopkeeper Li, do you want some sheep? These are the first-class lambs produced in Qinghai prairie. The meat is delicious and the price is cheap." Merton saw a rich businessman coming and greeted him warmly.

Boss Li said bitterly: "the villain's family background is thin. He has started a lot of cattle and horses before. Where is there more money? He has more heart than strength."

"Lv Dongjia!..." Merton welcomed the second rich merchant.

The emaciated LV family quickly shook his head and said, "villains don't dare to start at this time. I'm afraid mohou doesn't know! The price of mutton in Chang'an City has decreased by 30%, and other meat prices have decreased by as much as 10%

Morton was unmoved and said, "the price of these sheep in the imperial court is cheap. Even if it drops by 30%, the LV family may also make a profit!"

With a big hand, Lu Dongjia took out an old calculation chip. His fingers flew wildly and snapped and said, "with labor, the freight is indeed a little profitable, but if the price of mutton falls again, I'm afraid it will hit his hand. With the forage for raising sheep, I'm afraid it's possible to lose everything!"

"Er! How can you make the Lvdong family lose money?" Merton waved to let the Lvdong family go.

After a while, the LV family came up to Merton and whispered, "if mohou is willing to lower the price, it's not that you can't buy some more?"

"Get out!"

Merton roared that his target price was already low. If he did it again, I'm afraid the imperial historian in the imperial court would drown him.

Lu Dongjia immediately ran away, but his eyes couldn't be separated from the sheep all over the mountains. Obviously, he still couldn't forget it.

"I heard the news about ink offering wine, but these profiteers joined forces in an attempt to force the court to reduce the price!" Gao Shilian came angrily and said gnashing his teeth.

Different people have different names in front of Merton. Those businessmen call Merton the Marquis of Mo and show their dignity by their title. Officials often call Merton as a wine sacrifice and show their status by their official position. Of course, behind their backs, they will gnash their teeth and say, "the son of Mo family!"

"I knew that!" Merton's face was calm without the slightest anger.

"This * * merchant is simply making the country rich!" Gao Shilian said angrily.

Merton shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Gao's words are bad. As far as I know, these businessmen did not donate less money to the Red Cross in the Shandong flood. However, business is business. Selling at a high price and selling at a low price is the essence of business. The money is in their pockets. No matter what they do, we can't blame them. Waiting for a price is a common means for businessmen. I'm afraid if they are young, they will do the same."

Gao Shilian was stunned and thought a little. Then he calmed down slowly and said, "this is my gaffe. The people in Shandong are affected. I'm too anxious."

Merton looked at the sheep all over the mountains and thought a little: "if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be flexible. Since the road of selling sheep is impassable, we can change a way to raise sheep!"

"Raising sheep!" Gao Shilian couldn't help staring at Merton.

"Ink offering wine, the court wants money, not sheep?" Gao Shilian reminded. No matter how many sheep you raise, you can't get money. If you delay the imperial court's disaster relief, they can't get good.

Merton said confidently, "don't worry, Lord Gao. What the boy said about raising sheep is not the court's own sheep, but sold to people who want to raise sheep."

"Sheep keeper?" Gao Shilian felt that he could not keep up with Merton's thinking.

"I wonder if Lord Gao can understand the imperial court's plan to govern the Yellow River," Merton reminded.

"This is natural!" Gao Shilian nodded.

Merton said confidently, "the whole land of Guanlong will certainly be limited in the future. Agriculture is limited. Naturally, we should vigorously promote animal husbandry. This is where the opportunity lies."

"What Mo Jijiu said was to sell to the people in Guanlong!" Gao Shilian thought.

"Good!" said Merton.

Gao Shilian frowned and said, "as far as I know, there are many people and less land, and there are not a few people raising sheep. I'm afraid many of the sheep sold before are bought by the people in Guanlong. Even if the people in Guanlong want to buy, they don't have so much grassland to raise."

The imperial court has great determination to govern the Yellow River. Many people in Guanlong have invested in aquaculture. Kerao is so hard to digest so many sheep.

"There are many people in the land of Guanlong, but there is not much grassland, but we have it here!" Merton said, pointing to the direction of the land of Qinghai.

"Qinghai prairie? You mean to let the people of Guanlong go to Qinghai prairie to graze. It's impossible. It's hard to leave their hometown. How can the people be willing to leave their hometown and go to Qinghai where they are not familiar with their land." Gao Shilian said inconceivably,

Merton nodded and said, "of course, it's not the land of Qinghai, but Shanzhou!"

Shanzhou is Xining in later generations. Its geographical location is very important. It is located in the Huangshui River Valley. It has sufficient water source, fertile soil and low terrain, which is suitable for the survival of Han people. More importantly, it is very close to Lanzhou. With the convenience of brick road, it is only three or five days away from Guanlong.

"Shanzhou!" Gao Shilian thought thoughtfully. Although Shanzhou had good geographical conditions before, due to the continuous war with Tuyuhun, the people's lives were withered and a large amount of land was desolate. Now the dangerous conditions before Datang defeated Tuyuhun naturally disappeared, and Shanzhou's advantages immediately appeared.

"This time, we not only sell sheep, but also give land! One sheep gives ten mu of grassland! Buy more and give more. The whole Shanzhou is free to choose where there is no owner." Merton waved hard.

"Buy sheep and send land?" Gao Shilian couldn't help but brighten his eyes. This move may not be effective for the people in other places, but it is a great gospel for the people in Shaodi in Guanlong.

The sheep sold by the imperial court this time are cheap, and ten mu of grassland is attached, which is a great discount.

"Moreover, the grassland outside Lanzhou city is almost eaten up by these sheep. The boy is ready to invite the imperial court to send 30000 cavalry troops to Shanzhou, which can not only solve the problem of war horse food and grass, but also reassure the Guanlong children who have left their hometown." Merton said.

Gao Shilian could not help nodding. Merton was not on a whim, but had considered all aspects. If according to Merton, it really has great operability.

When the memorials of Merton and Gao Shilian were sent to Chang'an city again, this time, the chaotang had passed almost without objection. It was the chaotang's policy to immigrate to the real border and govern the Yellow River. Merton's move was indeed in line with the trend.

"Buy a sheep and send ten mu of grassland to Shanzhou."

"30000 cavalry stationed in Shanzhou."

……………………

When Merton's method of selling sheep was reported by Ink magazine, it can be said that it immediately caused a sensation in Guanlong, and many people immediately talked about it.

"One sheep has ten mu of grassland. If you buy a hundred sheep, you can get a thousand mu of grassland."

Everyone knows that the value of a sheep can't compare with ten acres of grassland in any case. This transaction can be said to be very cost-effective.

"One thousand mu of grassland is enough to feed 500 sheep!" many Guanlong children broke their fingers and couldn't help feeling excited. Mutton is very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the price is very high. The value of 500 sheep is in Guanlong, which is a family.

A hundred sheep can develop into about 500 sheep in three or five years, and become a family in three or five years, which is a great temptation for anyone.

Shanzhou is also the boundary of the Tang Dynasty. With 30000 elite troops stationed in Shanzhou, Tuyuhun has been destroyed. Naturally, there is no problem in security.

"Parents are here, don't travel far! Shanzhou is too far!" many people hesitate and don't want to leave their hometown.

"It's only one day's distance from Shanzhou to Lanzhou. From Lanzhou to Chang'an City, you can reach Chang'an City in three days. What's five days?" more people are eager to try. With a smooth brick road, it seems that the distance is close at once. The original seemingly distant distance now seems no longer out of reach.

"It is said that there are many grasslands along Huangshui in Shanzhou, which are very fertile. Once reclaimed, they are first-class irrigated fields. They come first, get first, and regret later." at the same time, a grapevine spread wildly in Guanlong land. Almost overnight, it blew through the whole Guanlong land like a whirlwind.

"Water irrigates the field!"

Almost everyone is attracted by watered fields. If there is water, there is land. Ink magazine clearly analyzes the land of Shanzhou. This place is just a small Guanzhong Plain, which can naturally cultivate a lot of fertile land

More importantly, Mo Village has adopted the most common means in future generations to visit for free. As long as the people who are interested can take the carriage of the imperial court to visit Shanzhou, the fare is free, and they can take care of their own food and accommodation.

Su dingfang's previous grain transportation system has not been dissolved. Merton naturally used it impolitely. Many people in Guanlong are excited. In this way, they see each other for the first time and start to take action and prepare to go for an investigation..

Not only the ordinary people, but also the Guanlong aristocratic family, began to meet and discuss one after another. They know much more than the ordinary people. Naturally, they know that Huangshui River Valley is indeed a rare treasure land, which will certainly become a fertile land in time.

"This may be an opportunity for my Guanlong family."

Many Guanlong aristocratic families are excited one after another. It's time to get in touch with Mohism.
