Bai Letong was a little puzzled by this: "Since the agreement is to carry out trade activities between the two countries, why should the government come forward to buy them? Could it be that no one cares about these goods shipped to our country from the Qing Dynasty?"
Chen Yixin said: "That's not the case. The official acquisition is also a temporary measure because of the current environmental constraints."
The goods sold by the Manchu Qing to Haihan were mainly agricultural products, medicinal materials, fur and other local specialties.Due to the limited population in Shenyang, it is difficult to digest these goods in the local market. Most of them can only be shipped to Jinzhou or even Shandong for sale, but there is not much profit after deducting the freight. There is not much willingness to buy.
However, if the border trade business is to be maintained, the Manchu Qing cannot just buy but not sell, so Chen Yixin instructed the Shenyang government to come forward to purchase bulk goods from the Manchu Qing, and then transport them to the south for distribution to merchants.In this way, the purchase price can be appropriately lowered, and then the freight can be subsidized with the price difference, so as to ensure that the merchants in charge of distribution in the south can make money.
Ning Zijing's question was much more expert: "I am also puzzled by one thing. The Manchu Qing sold us low-value agricultural products, and then bought our industrial products in large quantities. There must be a huge trade deficit in the process. .They don’t have gold and silver mines to dig like Japan, can they hold on for a long time?”
Chen Yixin said with a smile: "You have asked a good question, so please let me know... Let's go, let's go into this house and have a look!"
Chen Yixin led the way, and the group turned into this street-facing shop named "Xianghongji".
The people in the shop had obviously noticed the battle of their group long ago, and the shopkeeper who was in charge immediately came up to meet them.Judging by his attire, he was actually a Han Chinese.
Chen Yixin introduced to everyone: "His name is Erlu, his Han name is Lu Ping, and his mother is Han, so he can speak Chinese."
After Lu Ping greeted everyone respectfully, he invited them to sit in the tea room behind the shop.Bai Letong noticed that the products displayed in this shop were indeed, as Chen Yixin said, all agricultural and animal husbandry products.
Lu Ping asked the shop assistant to serve hot tea, but Chen Yixin didn't come to drink tea, so he asked Lu Ping, "Is there any news from the north about what I told you last time?"
Lu Ping bowed and replied, "Master Chen, the letter from the north was only delivered last night, and I haven't had time to contact the government, so you're here right now."
Chen Yixin nodded and said, "Then what does your master say?"
Lu Ping replied: "The matter of the racecourse should be fine. It is already under preparation. The horses can be delivered to your country in one year at the earliest, and in two years at the earliest. It is only necessary to meet the transaction amount requested by Mr. Chen. I'm afraid we have to wait another two years for the horses to breed."
Chen Yixin said, "What about the other thing?"
Lu Ping looked a little hesitant: "The other matter seems to be a bit troublesome. The North is still trying to solve it. I hope Mr. Chen can understand the difficulty!"
Chen Yixin snorted and said, "The way of making money I pointed out to your master will not always be empty. If your family is not willing to cooperate, there are still a lot of people outside waiting for this opportunity! If you can't do it, just say it." , don't delay the business!"
Lu Ping quickly responded: "Lord Chen calm down, if you can do it, you will definitely do it!"
Chen Yixin said in a deep voice: "I left this business to your family for the sake of my old friend's face. If I think this business can be done or not, then I won't waste my time here."
Lu Ping said: "The villain immediately wrote a letter to urge him to send it back immediately. I believe there will be a reply within four or five days."
Chen Yixin said: "Then I'll wait here, you go and write right away, and let me have a look when you're done."
Seeing that Chen Yixin was not joking, Lu Ping didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried out to find a pen and paper to write a letter.
Only then did Bai Kesi ask: "This Xianghongji can sell you a horse, it must have a good background, right?"
Chen Yixin did not deny it, and then introduced the background of this shop to everyone.
Lu Ping's master also has a lot of background, he is the fifth son of Huang Taiji, Prince Heshuo Chengze Shuosei.This Shuosai was only nine years older than Shunzhi, but he was trusted by Shunzhi, and he was in charge of the military and clan mansions of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Shuosai is a member of Xianghongqi, so he also serves as the capital of Xianghongqi, that is, the highest officer in charge of the household registration, production and training of Yiqi.The name of Xianghongji comes from the meaning of "inlaid red", and all trade transactions belong to the business of inlaid red flag.
After the Battle of Shenyang, the two countries signed an armistice agreement and at the same time started normal trade activities.Each side chooses a place to open a border market, allowing merchants from the other side to do business across the border.
Haihan's side took a bigger step, and directly set aside an area in Shenyang City, which was specially reserved for Manchu merchants to open shops.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to set up a resident agency in Shenyang City.Haihan has set a certain threshold for this, and by the way, it has screened out a group of merchants with strength and background in the Qing Dynasty.
In the course of the trade, Haihan naturally got in touch with Shuo Sai.With the commercial resources that Haihan possessed, if he could just leak out a little bit of it, Xianghongji could make a lot of money.And Shuosai also relied on this cooperative relationship to provide better supplies of living materials for the people inlaid with the red flag.
But as time went on, the trade situation between the two sides was just as Ning Zijing questioned. The output of Xianghongqi was far from enough to balance its purchase needs, and it was unable to make ends meet every year. With Xianghongqi's financial situation, it was difficult to continue this This type of trade can be maintained in the long run.
At this time, Chen Yixin gave Shuosai some new ideas in a timely manner, which can help Xianghongqi improve this unbalanced trade situation. One of them is to vigorously develop animal husbandry and export horses to Haihan.
There are large pastures in the area bordered by the red flag, which is suitable for the establishment of animal husbandry.However, Haihan wanted to industrialize the Liaodong area. In addition to manpower, the demand for animal power and livestock was also astonishing.If the output of Haihan's own animal husbandry alone is far from enough to meet the demand, Chen Yixin will turn his mind to Manqing.
As long as Xianghongqi provides Haihan with a certain number of horses every year, the trade deficit of Xianghongqi can be effectively balanced.For Xianghongqi, animal husbandry has extremely low operating threshold and is easy to develop. It is indeed an excellent industry.
The only problem is that horses are a strategic material in Manchuria. Generally speaking, they cannot be exported to enemy countries, whether they are war horses or pack horses.
However, such restrictions are of course only for ordinary people, and nobles like Shuo Sai are naturally not within the restricted range.Compared with another cooperation plan proposed by Chen Yixin, exporting horses to Haihan is really not a big deal.
