If we want to expand the share of iron pots, it is necessary to build ironwork workshops in other places to reduce the transportation cost of iron pots.”

Even though transportation has developed greatly in this era, transportation is still a big problem.

Not to mention the impact of damage to the iron pot during transportation, the expensive transportation costs alone will greatly reduce the competitiveness of the Jintai iron pot.

This is obviously something that Jin Tai is more concerned about.

"Our boss, we can consider building an ironworking workshop in Dengzhou and Yangzhou, which is specially used to produce iron pots.

The workshops in Dengzhou can radiate to the entire overseas markets such as Henan and Japan.

The ironworking workshops in Yangzhou can radiate to the entire Jiangnan Road and export to Nanyang and other places.

Nowadays, the transportation is very convenient from Chang'an City to Dengzhou or Yangzhou.

We built workshops in these two places, and it was quite convenient to communicate.

Starting this year, many workshops in the Workshop City have begun to build semicolons in various parts of the Tang Dynasty to reduce their own costs and increase their market share.

I think it is necessary for our Jinta Iron Workshop to do this.

Even considering that the imperial court established a new Western Regions Province, we can also consider setting up a semicolon in Yizhou or Xizhou.

Specializes in the production of some products sold in the Western Regions.

In this way, we only need to transport the iron ingots to each semicolon, and the transportation efficiency will be greatly improved."

Since Zuo Sen proposed a new development direction, there are naturally some specific plans.

Otherwise, simply blowing water there would be no specific meaning.

"Since you think this matter is feasible, then you can go to various places to investigate and submit the specific semicolon construction plan to me."

After thinking about it, Jin Tai couldn't find any reason to oppose Zuo Sen's proposal.

So basically agreed.

"No problem, don't worry, my boss. I will hand you this specific plan at the latest in March next year."

Zuo Sen was overjoyed.

I have been a little transparent person for so many years, and now I am finally about to turn over.

Once the Jintai Ironworkshop builds a semicolon in several places, its influence will be greatly improved immediately.

You can even consider independently developing the iron pot business later.

...

The Gu family’s status in Chang'an City is a bit special.

Logically speaking, as wealthy families in Jiangnan Road, their development in Chang'an City is generally bumpy.

After all, the north is mainly a territory of the five surnames and Qiwang, and they are still very cautious about the Jiangnan family.

However, the Gu family did not suffer any major constraints in Chang'an City.

Some people may think it is because Gu Lian, the Gu family, is the county magistrate of Wannian County.

In fact, those who know the situation will know that in front of a real aristocratic family, a county magistrate of a ten thousand years is not enough to see.

Even though he is a county magistrate in the capital, he is only a fifth-rank official.

The five surnames and seven hopes, who doesn’t have many officials of fourth or fifth rank?

It can even be said that who doesn’t have a few second- and third-rank officials?

In this case, Gu Panpan actually made an indelible contribution to the Gu family’s ability to avoid commercial obstacles in Chang'an City.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Gu Panpan and the Prince's Mansion have a special relationship.

Not only did Wu Meiniang have a close relationship with her, but she was also a little confused with Li Kuan.

No one knows when Gu Panpan will become the concubine of the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, as long as there is no principled issue involved, everyone will naturally not be able to get along with the Gu family.

Anyway, in recent years, the Gu family's various industries have developed step by step, and there is no mention of who has seized the market share.

"Panpan, you spent tens of thousands of pounds in just two months. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

In the backyard of Wannian County, seeing Gu Panpan put down his chopsticks and ready to leave, Gu Lian quickly got to the point.

These days, he has always wanted to have a good chat with Gu Panpan and sort out the future development of the Gu family.

In Gu Lian's opinion, Gu Panpan's mischievous behavior will soon decline.

He saw that many families who were in a poor family lived a miserable life, so he naturally did not want the Gu family to become like that.

"Aye, now is the time when our Gu family grain and oil are opening its signature, and the expenses will definitely be greater.

But you don’t have to worry. Apart from building warehouses, buying ships and carriages, tractors, and other grains and oils can be cashed in and made money.”

Gu Panpan naturally knew why Aye suddenly talked about this topic to him today.

The last time he decided to enter the grain trading business and strived to become a famous grain merchant in the Tang Dynasty, Gu Panpan made a lot of moves.

During the process of purchasing grain, Gu Panpan found that the oil business actually had great potential.

Even the profits of this industry are much higher than those of grain.

As a result, she naturally was unwilling to do a simple grain transaction.

In her plan, Gu's Grain and Oil will be a large enterprise integrating grain and oil procurement, processing and production.

Not to mention becoming the pillar of the Datang Stock Exchange in the future, we must at least become the top three grain merchants in the Datang.

In order to achieve this goal, she naturally had to take many corresponding actions.

It is naturally an indispensable thing to build grain warehouses in the main production areas of Datang, as well as flour workshops and rice mills.

In addition, the purchase of grain and oil requires real money and silver, so the Gu family's money will naturally flow out.

Exchange back a pile of grain and oil and construction sites.

"The grain and oil industry is too big, you can choose several of them with a focus.

For example, in our Jiangnan Road, the most planted rice is rice.

In this case, we can focus on the development of rice.

But look at you, you can buy rice, corn, wheat, and barley.

Even the newly emerging corn, you have not let go.

If it weren't for the fact that potatoes and sweet potatoes were not easy to store, you probably would have to continue to buy these things, right?

There are also those workshops, have you always wanted to link them to the so-called high-tech industry before?

But after a year of hard work, I didn’t achieve any results. I went back to the most traditional grain and oil industry.

You have a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, Aye is worried when he sees it."

I am just a daughter, so what Gu Lian has to say is naturally communicated directly with Gu Panpan.

He used to hide it and pretended to be reserved.

Now that I can see it, I will say whatever I think of.

"Aye, do business, don't you do whatever you make money?

Now that these grain and oil industries can make money, I naturally operate them all.

Especially various oils, this year, I can bring me more than 10,000 jin of profits.

Don’t always pay attention to things in the court. Many times, things in the court are closely related to business.

This year is the first year when our Datang oil production begins to explode. In the future, this industry will become larger and larger.

We first enter this field. By then, relying solely on Gu’s grain and oil, our Gu family will be comfortable for decades.”

Gu Panpan is so capable of making trouble, obviously he has also found someone to investigate and confirm.

Otherwise, how could she respond with confidence when Aye asked her?

"There are more types of oil, I have heard of this.

The Datang Daily even has an article specifically introducing the soybean refining industry in Liaodong Road, as well as the newly emerged corn oil and peanut oil in Guannei Road.

There is also that very special sunflower oil.

I have heard of these things, and I also know that oil has a certain future.

But it won't be chewed too much.

Besides, the grain industry is already quite sensitive, and you have involved all the grain and oil industries at once.

What will the court think then?

If our Gu family grain and oil really become the largest grain and oil merchant in the Tang Dynasty, can the court allow this situation at that time?"

After all, Gu Lian has experienced a lot of things and has many worries in his heart.

There have been many examples of grain merchants being liquidated in all dynasties.
