Chapter 265: Buying Up, Not Buying Down

Li Yan listened to the side and interjected impatiently:

"These Chu people are so good, but they don't make sense. If they don't give benefits, I'll be unrighteous, and if I give benefits, I'm suspicious.

"When I go to catch them up to a batch and try it, it will be clear."

He turned around and left, but Yang Duanhe called back.

Li Yan's method was simple. If Qin Jun really wanted to rush, he would certainly be able to rush. After all, Qin Jun was an occupying army at this time.

The problem was that these Chu people were already worried, and Li Yan didn't even scare his soul after rushing like this, so he even believed that this was a trap set by Qin Jun.

So this is sometimes not a good thing to be an occupying army, and it is also difficult to do both.

Yang Duanhe said to Shen Bing:

"This matter can't be touched, otherwise this farm..."

Shen Bing nodded in agreement.

Tuntian requires the people's willingness. If there is resentment in their hearts, even if they dare not resist on the face, they will do all kinds of tricks when they are Tuntian.

For example, deliberately destroying the tools, or planting the seeds deeper and denser, some places are particularly sparse, and even a few feet are stepped on... These are difficult for Qin Jun to find.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing got an idea, and said:

"The general, rest assured, his subordinates will make arrangements."

In fact, after knowing where the problem is, it is not difficult to solve it.

Just kidding, Shen Bing is a modern man. He hasn't seen any big winds and waves before, and this little thing can hardly beat him?

First, Shen Bing asked these craftsmen to contact some Chu people.

The reason why artisans are allowed to contact is because they are not repelled by Chu people like soldiers. On the other hand, artisans also have the habit of grouping together, no matter which country they are from.

In this regard, because everyone is a craftsman, there are more common topics.

On the other hand, the status of craftsmen in this era is very low...Often, the lower the status, the more people will get together to keep warm, and there is also the kind of self-compassion and self-pity that is the same as the world.

Among them, Fatty Tun is still a businessman. He who has had business experience naturally has acquaintances in the capital city of Shouchun, so he secretly contacted these acquaintances.

In other words, these craftsmen and "acquaintances" of the Chu State would like to be able to climb the high branches of the group of people such as Shu.

Needless to say what the reason is.

You must know that they are the Qin army, not only the Qin army or the Qin army, not only the Qin army or the Shenwu army...

There is still a difference between the Qin people who are "rooted and miaohong" in the Qin army and joining the Qin army after other countries surrendered.

Although the superficial treatment in the Shenwu Army is equal, the Qin people are always more trusted and easier to get promoted.

But this doesn't seem surprising, after all, it is the soldiers of other countries, even if it is "no doubt about employing people", there is no way for everyone to be equal.

Therefore, no one has ever dared to look down upon them even if they were craftsmen in the Shenwu Army.

At this time, Chu Min in Shouchun was all worried that Qin Jun would be disadvantaged to them, especially some merchants with family background... Merchants had the lowest status, and they usually returned to the common people. If they were copied by Qin Jun I'm afraid I won't be able to arouse any splashes.

And just at this moment, Hu and Fatty Tun, these veritable acquaintances of the Qin Army took the initiative to find them, how could they not be ecstatic and treated them as guests.

Among them is Fatty Tun.

Some people don’t know where to inquire about the news, they know that Fatty Tun is Shen Bing’s apprentice...

Is this okay?

The apprentice of Shen Bing, deputy general of the defeated Xiang Yan Shenwu Army?

So right now, he offered the Fatty Tun to the ancestor's delicious food and drink, and even gave this to the other before he left, worried that the Fatty Tun was not satisfied.

In fact, it is very simple for Shen Bing to contact these Chu people, that is, let them act as a "trust."

Human psychology is like this. When there are doubts in the heart, everyone dare not be the first to watch.

However, if someone dared to eat crabs and it's okay, that is, they do experiments and even benefit from them, then everyone will come up.

Isn't that the case with modern house purchases?

You grabbed me, everyone grabbed it, so I was just holding it and looking at it, so I decided when my head heated up.

Use this set of marketing methods to toss these ancient people who have never been seen in the world... Then don't they have fun?

This is of course only a trivial matter for those Chu people who want to hold Qin Jun's thighs, and they promised not to break it... Shen Bing forgive them for not daring to break it, otherwise their heads would not be on their shoulders.

After finishing the arrangement, Shen Bing then began to change the notice.

Originally, no fees were charged, but now we have to draw food according to the amount.

It was very cheap at the beginning, one hundred draws, which means you need to pay one catty of grain for pounding one hundred catties.

This is to dispel the doubts in Chu Min's heart.

As I said before, the benefits are too great to cause Chu Min to think about this kind of pie in the sky?So I thought about it.

This time Chu Min needs to charge a fee but feel relieved:

"It turns out that Qin Jun wanted to use this method to earn some military rations."

"You only need to pay one catty for pounding one hundred catties of grain...it's not expensive."

"What's more, other conditions remain unchanged. After the grain is pounded, there are still fields to be used for farming."

"Why hesitate in such a good thing?"

This is only Shen Bing's first step, and then...the price will increase.

For example, if you pound 100 catties the next day, you will have to pay a catty two taels, and the next day you will pay a catty two taels...

When the people saw it, it didn't work!

Today, you only need one catty to pound food, and one catty two taels tomorrow. Wouldn’t it be a loss tomorrow?

Wouldn't it be a loss again if it was later?

So I can't wait. I will pound all the grains at home. The earlier I pound, the more cost-effective.

This is the psychology of buying up and not buying down.

If the cost is falling every day, then Chu Min’s mind is:

What's the hurry?

Maybe it will be cheaper in two days, wait and see!

Therefore, even if the house is placed there, I dare not sell it at a lower price. The problem that may be faced when the price is reduced is that it cannot be sold... unless it can't hold it.

Needless to say what the situation is next.

Within a few days, the queues in front of the waterwheels were full, and thousands of waterwheels were lined up in front of them, and even torches were lit at night.

Fortunately, this waterwheel is hydraulically capable of working day and night, otherwise it would really not be able to withstand this intensity.

Then these people who have finished pounding rice only need to register, then mark a field, and then hand over the grain seeds to them and immediately go to the farm...

Most of them are women, and indeed they lack farming experience.

But the women of this era are not pampering, they usually do the physical work of pounding rice at home, and they can endure hardship... In this era of extremely low productivity, even the concubines in the palace have to pick mulberry leaves to bear a certain amount. The amount of labor.

Therefore, it only takes a few experienced people to teach them how to do it.

Tuntian is not a kind of technical work, basically it can be learned with one instruction, and what it does is not worse than labor.
