Chapter 576: Selling Price And Transportation Cost, Purchasing Power And Consumption Prerequisites [
"With so much salted fish, why not sell it to the people of Ming Dynasty instead of storing it?!!"
Qi King Zhu Su looked at Yan Changqing and asked with a flash of doubt on his face.
They just know that the salted fish in Haizhou City was temporarily stored and not sold by Yan Changqing in a report to their father.
But why they did this, they didn't understand.
As for the content of the secret memorial written by Yan Changqing, they did not know the specific content because they did not return to Beijing, but they only knew that it was roughly the same.
Hearing this, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Zhu Xiongying next to Prince Zhu Biao, and said gently:
"Xiongying, tell you Uncle Seventh Emperor why this is happening!!!"
The eyes of all the princes including Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc. also fell on Zhu Xiongying.
And Zhu Xiongying was like a little adult, immature but with a hint of calmness as he said:
“Because of the selling price and shipping costs!!!”
"In Haizhou City, a pound of salted fish can be sold for as low as five cents, or even three cents!!!"
"And the selling price of a pound of fresh pig meat is only about 20 cents now!!!"
"If the selling price of salted fish exceeds ten cents, then most inland people will be hesitant when they choose to buy salted fish meat or hog meat." "
"Because salted fish not only smells fishy to inland people, but it is not fresh meat. Inland people may not be accustomed to eating it."
"So when faced with the same pound of salted fish meat and fresh pork meat, inland people may not necessarily choose to buy salted fish meat."
"And if the selling price of salted fish meat exceeds fifteen cents, then the vast majority of inland people will not choose to buy salted fish meat."
"Only when there is an unparalleled price advantage for meat such as fresh pig meat, inland people will choose to buy salted fish meat because of the price advantage when they choose to buy salted fish meat or pig meat."
"So, if you want to sell salted fish meat, the selling price of salted fish meat must be maintained at ten cents, or less than ten cents!!!"
"But now the Ming Dynasty's land routes are not smooth and the water routes are not densely populated."
"Based on today's road conditions, if a pound of sea fish and salted fish meat is transported ten miles away, the transportation cost will increase by about one penny."
"If we calculate it based on the distance from Haizhou City to Yingtianfu, which is thousands of miles away, if the salted fish meat from Haizhou City costs five cents per pound, and it is shipped to Yingtianfu for sale, then the sales price needs to be set at more than one hundred and five cents. , so that we can guarantee that we will not lose money!!!”
"Except for wealthy families, the vast majority of ordinary people cannot afford to buy salted fish meat that costs 105 cents per pound."
"Even the vast majority of wealthy families may not buy salted fish meat worth 1.05 cents per pound, so basically no one is willing to transport the salted fish meat from Haizhou City to Yingtian Mansion, thousands of miles away. Go sell it.”
"Therefore, most people in Yingtianfu or wealthy families choose to buy salted fish meat made from local river fish in Yingtianfu."
"Although the salted fish meat made from local river fish in Yingtianfu is now priced at more than ten to twenty cents per catty."
"But compared to salted fish meat that costs more than 100 cents per pound, this price is not something you can barely accept."
"In addition, the counties and counties around Shanghai City are not short of sea fish and salted fish meat, and they cannot digest hundreds of millions of kilograms of sea fish and salted fish meat."
"That's why more than 128.64 million kilograms of sea fish and salted fish meat will be stored and not sold to the outside world for the time being."
The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes on the side had a look of this on their faces after hearing what Zhu Xiongying said.
They also know that the farther away the goods are, the higher the transportation cost will be, and the resulting sales price will also rise accordingly.
But as Zhu Xiongying said just now, they are not so clear about the precise transportation cost and sales price data.
After all, they have never deliberately understood this aspect before, so it is normal for them to be unclear.
Of course, if they want to understand this aspect, they can always understand it as clearly as Zhu Xiongying, or even more clearly than Zhu Xiongying.
But this is the ability they possess as a prince in his eighteen or twenty-something years, and it is not worth boasting about.
But Zhu Xiongying is only eight years old now, but he knows so clearly about these people's livelihood matters.
Whether someone told him specifically and then he wrote it down, or he himself understood it intentionally or unintentionally, it is worth boasting about.
Because for an eight-year-old child, this is already a great job.
Coupled with Zhu Jixi's previously equally organized answers, it can also be seen from this that Yan Changqing has guided Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Jixi very well this year.
So thinking of this, Prince Zhu Biao also touched Zhu Xiongying's little head and praised:
"That's a good answer. Not only did your Seventh Uncle Emperor understand it, but so did my father."
After being praised by Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying's eyes became brighter, and then he thought about it and said:
"I heard from my husband before that next year Ming Dynasty will start building concrete roads like this everywhere."
"When cement roads are built throughout the Ming Dynasty, the land roads will be much smoother and smoother than now, and the transportation costs will also be greatly reduced!"
"At the same time, the greater the quantity of salted fish meat transported each time, the transportation costs will be further evenly reduced!!"
"Based on the two factors, in the future, when the sea fish and salted fish meat from Haizhou City is transferred to Yingtian Mansion, or to other inland places in the Ming Dynasty, the selling price is expected to be reduced to fifteen cents per catty, or even ten cents per catty. The point!!!"
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, King Yan Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and Taguchi asked:
"How long is the shelf life of these salted fish now?!!"
They also know that next year the Ming Dynasty will start building cement roads across the country on a labor-for-service basis.
However, the construction of cement roads will definitely take a certain amount of time, but before the roads are repaired by then, more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat will have gone bad and expired.
If more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish and meat are wasted, their stingy father will be so angry that he won't be able to eat for a month!!!
"In summer, these salted fish can be stored for about half a year; if it is winter, they can be stored for about a year."
"The earliest batch of salted fish meat stored has a shelf life of about four months."
“People at the salted fish factory are still researching ways to store the fish with a longer shelf life.
Zhu Xiongying replied with an obedient expression.
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's answer, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all made their own calculations in their hearts...
[Shelf life of half a year to one year!!!]
[The earliest batch of salted fish meat stored will go bad and expire in four months!!!]
[This means that within the next four months, Daming’s cement roads will need to be repaired!!!]
[Even if not all can be repaired, at least the cement roads from Haizhou City to other places need to be repaired first!!!]
[In this way, we can quickly sell the salted fish meat to the people for consumption before the earliest stored batch of salted fish meat goes bad and expires!!!]
[It seems that after returning home, I need to talk to my father about this matter and start using work instead of labor as soon as possible to build cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty!!!]
Looking at the contemplative princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Xin Guogong Tang He, and his eyes slightly signaled them to retreat.
Tang He immediately understood that Yan Changqing had something to say to Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, but they were not suitable to hear it.
So Tang He immediately took the imperial doctor Wang Lu, the magistrate of Haizhou City and others, and retreated outside the cellar to wait.
After only himself and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were left in the cellar, Yan Changqing opened his mouth and added:
“In addition to considering the selling price and transportation costs, there is another important reason why these salted fish meats are not sold to the outside world for the time being.
"That's because people don't have that much money now that they can use to buy a lot of salted fish meat."
"If we want the common people to digest the current 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat and even more salted fish meat in the future, then the people must be richer than they are now."
"Using what I told you before, we need to 'distribute money' to the people!!!"
"In other words, we need to create jobs and implement work-for-service substitution, so that people can get more money and income!!!"
"When ordinary people increase their financial income and have more spare money in their hands by replacing labor with work, they will naturally take the initiative to consume the money!!!"
"At that time, when they saw the salted fish meat with a low price and good quality of 2.4%, they naturally couldn't help but buy it!!!"
"In the end, the 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty digested the current 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat, and even more salted fish meat in the future!!!"
The prerequisite for consumption is to have money in hand!!!
The premise of advanced consumption is based on optimistic future prospects!!!
If you have no money and the future prospects are not optimistic, no matter how you try to stimulate consumption or cut prices and promote sales, it is all nonsense!!!
You can't force them to sell their blood and kidneys in exchange for money when they don't have any money and their future prospects are not optimistic, just so that they can finally sell the salted fish they store at home?! !
There is no such thing as forced buying and selling!!!
Ordinary people will not accept such forced buying and selling!!!
A thoughtful look flashed across the faces of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.
