Chapter 259 Take Advantage

"By the way, I brought some new money with the ship. The new money will be used when paying salaries today." Chen Xun suddenly remembered that it was just right to implement the new money directly in Koryo.

"Okay, after all, after they take the money, they will choose to buy things from us. Don't worry about the public not accepting it."

For these laborers and athletic women, every time their salaries are paid, there will be a corresponding product sales office next to them.

The military government will sell grain at the sales office at a price slightly lower than the local market price, and will also sell various industrial products produced by the military government. Under the same quality, the price will be lower than the price of local products.

For example, the price of iron hoes, shovels, iron plows, etc. is half lower than that of local handmade products, and the quality is even better.

In short, every time the money sent out will be recovered quickly, and more will be recovered.

I walked around a few streets and found that although there were notices for people's safety, there were almost no shops open for business.The Spring Festival has just passed, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is getting dark quickly.

Before dark, the laborers and the able-bodied women all finished their work early. Although they only worked for more than an hour, the military government still paid them a day's salary and gave each person two large pancakes for dinner.

Chen Xun came to the center of the city where salaries were distributed. Because trust had not yet been established, there were not many people receiving money today. On the contrary, there were a lot of people at the sales office next to it, and there was a long queue.

"Translate for me what they are saying, you can translate whatever you want." Chen Xun called the spy next to him who could speak Korean to come forward. He could not speak Korean yet.

"Okay." The spy responded and walked up to Chen Xun.

"Tell me, woman, this money is really beautiful and shiny. Isn't it made of gold?"

"They said they were copper coins."

"The man at the front of the line is asking the military officer: Can I buy something with Korean money?"

...

"This iron hoe is really cheap. Judging from the weight, it will definitely work better than the stone hoe at home. I have to go home to get the money."

"Do you accept jewelry?"

...

More and more people who thought they had an advantage crowded over and formed a long queue under Chen Jiajun's scolding.

"In order to avoid conflicts with local businessmen, I didn't choose to dump at low prices before. Now I can finally be unscrupulous." Ke Lei said.

The cost of industrial products is much lower than that of handmade products.

Just like this iron hoe, the minimum cost to make it by hand would be more than [-] yuan, and the iron material used is very small.

The iron hoes made by the military government use twice as much iron as handmade products, but the overall cost is less than fifty coins.

When Chen Xun returned to Guangnan East Road years ago, officials from the Department of Industry reported that next year, large-scale mining of Qiongzhou Island Iron Mine and Hongji Coal Mine would further reduce the cost of iron materials.

"It's done very well. After cheap industrial products destroy the local handicraft industry, these craftsmen will be recruited and sent to Jingdong East Road. In the short term, the Korean Peninsula cannot be allowed to have the ability to make iron tools on a large scale."

Chen Xun planned to cut off the foundation of the Korean Peninsula's research and development and manufacturing of weapons, so that they would completely lose the ability to resist.

This is an overseas development strategy designed by the military government long ago.

Heavy industry can only be placed in the mainland. Before the overseas territories are completely Chinese, they can only engage in planting, breeding, service industries and some light industrial manufacturing.

Even if there are a lot of mineral deposits in some places, and the reserves and quality are very good, only the most rudimentary ore processing will be allowed locally, and the refined processing must be transported back to the mainland.Various advanced machine tools developed locally are not allowed to be exported overseas, only manufactured machinery is allowed to be exported.

Machine tools are the mother of industry, and Chen Xun doesn't want to be "learned from the Han Dynasty to control the Han Dynasty" by overseas forces, especially those white-eyed wolf people who are not familiar with it.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

All ethnic groups that have not been completely Sinicized will have their leeks cut by the industrial scissors of the military government.

"Come here, light all the torches and oil lamps. It's pitch black. You can see nothing." Han Shizhong's roar came from the distance.

Soon, the square in the center of the city and the streets next to it were all lit up by oil lamps.

"Has it been like this before? He looks very experienced." Chen Xun asked.

"These Korean people are worried that this good thing will not happen after today, so they are very willing to buy overnight." Ke Lei replied.

"You can tell them that the goods are sufficient, and you can buy them tomorrow." Chen Xun was a little puzzled. Isn't it all the cost to light a lamp and boil oil at night?

"It's different. We've already tried it." Ke Lei shook his head and continued to explain: "If you let them buy overnight, these people will go crazy and treat the money as money. Many people would rather use their family savings to Even if you spend all your money, you have to replace it all with our products.”

Chen Xun looked at a woman in front of her, holding a piece of linen and walking back happily.

In fact, because the price of raw materials for linen products is difficult to reduce, the sales price is not much cheaper than the local products.

"But if we let them buy it again tomorrow, after this night, they will seem to be awake again, and their purchasing power will plummet," Ke Lei said.

"Impulsive consumption!" Chen Xun sighed.

Psychology is indeed a profound knowledge that runs through ancient and modern times.

The overnight sales created a sense of urgency among the local people that "after this village, there is no such store." In addition, everyone is willing to rush to buy in the dark, so there must be a big advantage. In the end, under the herd mentality, There is no sense left.

It is estimated that many people still want to buy in large quantities and hoard them. When Chen Jiajun stops selling, he will sell them at a higher price to make profits.

Chen Jiajun is very welcoming to such hoarding "profiteers" and will definitely make them realize what "the dangers of society" are.

"Do you have enough goods?" Chen Xun suddenly remembered this question.

"Absolutely enough. We have just faced this situation before, and sometimes we sold out of stock. Now we have experience. For this sales in Beijing, we have intercepted some goods sold to the Kingdom of Jin and plan to sell them here. After you've almost finished the meal, send the rest over." Ke Lei replied.

Although the military government is now fighting life and death with the Jin Kingdom, its trade with them has not been interrupted.

Because the industrial products of the military government are necessities in the Jin Kingdom, they are of high quality and low price.This country, still in a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, has no concept of protecting its own national industry at all, so even when the two forces are fighting the worst, the products of the military government are still hot in Jin Country.

In order for the merchants to continue selling iron products, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom were willing to pay more.

For such a good thing, the military government naturally accepted it readily.

After the Jin Kingdom, even if those iron tools were melted down to make weapons and armor, they would be of little use against muskets.

The difference in weapons generation is huge.
