The Rise of the European Emperor

"Fuck, shit, shit..." Marin couldn't help but swear. He really didn't expect that the buckskins in the Northeast are so cheap at this time, it's the real price of jumping off a building for bloodletting! This level of cheapness is a hundred times cheaper than the price of the Jiangnan Tannery leather bag after Huang He ran away...

Suddenly, Marin had the urge to go to the northeast to sell iron pots. Ma's time-honored iron pot restaurant, one pot can be exchanged for 10 buckskins. The cost of the iron pot is less than two hundred yuan, and ten buckskins are brought back. Excluding all kinds of costs, the profit is more than ten times higher...

Marin even made up the picture of himself selling iron pots in the Northeast - he held an earthen horn and yelled at the market of the fishing and hunting tribes in the Northeast, "Look, take a look, don't miss it when you pass by! Authentic and time-honored horse The bearded iron pot is as famous as the Wang Mazi kitchen knife! One pot only costs 10 buckskins! If you can’t buy it, you will lose money, and you won’t be fooled..."

After taking a sip of water, he changed his name to "Yellow Crane Khan ran away with his sister-in-law. The tribe owes 350 million yuan. We have no choice but to pay the salary with an iron pot. The original price is more than 200 yuan." , There are more than 300 iron pots of deerskins, all of which are sold for only 10 deerskins, all 10 deerskins..."

Marin touched his mustache and said to himself, my beard is so long, I don't seem to dare to call myself a horse beard. However, a photo with a beard is very suitable for the image endorsement of "Horse Beard Iron Pot". But just after he thought about it, he felt that 100,000 river crab beasts were pressing towards him, trying to devour him, so he quickly gave up his wild thoughts... Are you kidding, let his mentor sell iron pots? Want to die, don't you?

Realizing his mistake, Marin immediately stood up and bowed to apologize to Ma Ye's cemetery in the north suburb of London in the southwest direction, but soon he realized - no, Master Ma Zu was not born yet, why should I bow to his cemetery ...

Moreover, Marin felt that with his own history of influencing Germany, the Ma Zushi could still be born smoothly. You know, even if there is an error of 0.001 second, the child born may become another one. Because, when giving birth, there are 200 million people competing for the chance to be born, which is much more exciting than finding a job and grabbing a job.

Marin changed the history of Germany in this way, and even changed the history of Ming Dynasty. Many historical celebrities will definitely not be able to be born. Of course, it's hard to say whether someone will take their place.

...

In any case, with so much leather in the Northeast, Marin didn't want to give up. According to the Baige five people, they are a fishing and hunting people, mainly hunting. There are 20,000 to 30,000 Sauron households, and almost every household has dozens of deerskins as common supplies. Moreover, every time I move, for the sake of convenience, I will discard a lot of worn-out buckskin, suede and other leather. No way, they don't have a cart, so they can only bring a few leather bags with them to move. The remaining worn-out leather can only be thrown away on the spot, or even burned.

If you are serious about collecting buckskins,

Every family gets hundreds of deerskins every year, which is very light. However, no matter whether it is the Saurons or people from other tribes, they will not kill all the deer. Because they understand that if they kill too much, it will be difficult to hunt deer in the future. At that time, they will starve the whole family. After all, the Saurons lived off deer, roe deer, hares, and wild boars. If it is not controlled, it is no problem for their family to hunt and kill a few deer every day. But in order not to run out of food in the future, the hunters in the Northeast often hunt a deer for a few days. And one deer is indeed enough to feed a family for several days. Even, in summer, most of them are broken. In winter, a deer can feed the whole family for many days.

In this way, every Sauron family collected at least dozens of deerskins. There are also other small animal leathers such as rabbit skins and squirrel skins. There are many, but no one buys them. Among all the leathers, only mink furs were purchased because they were more expensive, and then sold to Daming to earn huge profits. Other leathers are basically for personal use only. For example, the tents where the Saurons lived needed a lot of leather.

In addition to the 20,000 to 30,000 households of the Saurons, in addition, there are tens of thousands of Jurchen households, thousands of Xibe households, thousands of Qilieren households, Hezhe people and other ethnic groups, there are also a lot of deerskins. After all, in later generations, there is a saying in the Northeast that "beat the roe deer with a stick and scoop the fish with a scoop". It can be seen how rich the deer resources are in the Northeast China.

In the Beishan savage area from the northeast to the north, people directly raise reindeer, and there are more deer skins. Back then, Maozi made enough profits from the leather trade by controlling Siberia. Of course, people prefer mink fur. Buckskin or something, it's just an extra head. Moreover, it is estimated that the cost of transporting the buckskins from the Far East to Moscow by land will not be able to bear. After all, the cost of land transportation is too high. Therefore, the Cossacks can only put a few bundles of mink on horseback back to Europe. Buckskin or something is usually sewn into bags. Or, make clothes and boots and stuff.

But Marin did not have such a problem. He set up an acquisition point in Nuergancheng, and then dispersed several acquisition points. Or, cooperate with a few good tribes and let them buy it on your behalf. In summer, we send galleys directly to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang to collect the goods, and we can definitely get a lot of leather every day.

Even the black-hearted Marin felt that the old tattered leather used by the Saurons and the Jurchens could also be purchased.

Da Ming might not be able to sell those tattered old leathers for a price. However, you can process it and sell it to me...

Ben's village chief, Sengoku, needs a lot of armor. If they were all processed with intact deerskin, although they would make a lot of money, they would not be able to maximize their profits.

However, there is still a market for buying tattered leather that Northeasterners want to discard at a low price, and then processing and sewing it into low-end leather armor...

As long as the cutting technique is good, the damaged part of the damaged buckskin can be completely covered up. Then, use the cut deerskin pieces to sew a double layer of leather armor. For places that are difficult to cover, a few pieces of iron can be nailed to it. One is to strengthen the protection, and the other is to cover up the damage...

In this way, the tattered leather that the Saurons wanted to throw away when they moved would have a market. As long as it is close to the Heilongjiang River, or the Songhua River or something with convenient transportation. Whenever Marin's galley comes to collect the skins in summer, they can take them to the ballast by the way.

Then, those intact deerskins were sold to Daming. Or, make it into a high-end item and sell it to the nobleman. And those damaged old leathers were sent to the Jiangnan leather factory... Ah bah, it was the Hokkaido leather factory, which cut and processed them into double-layer leather armor and supplied them to the daimyo for war.

Anyway, leather armor is relatively light. Double-layer leather armor, and iron plates nailed to the vital parts, absolutely meet the needs of the village chief for fighting.

Moreover, the unscrupulous Marin felt that in order to cover the tattered parts of the old deerskin, the original plan to use the whole deerskin to sew the leather armor was changed to cutting the deerskin into small pieces and then sewing them together. Make a double layer... the leather armor piece is smaller, so it can naturally avoid the tattered parts on the worn leather, and it is easier to fool the daimyo.

As long as the refurbishment technology is good, and you can import some paint from Daming to refresh it, you can still sell it to the village chief Ming at a high price. Or, trade them for precious cattle.

Those intact deerskins, besides being sold to Daming and the nobles, can also be transported back to Europe for sale. After all, the price of European leather is also very high, and the market is also huge. Because there are no cloth shoes, the shoes in Europe at this time were leather shoes as the mainstream before Marin introduced straw sandals. As for leather shoes, the leftovers of leather are used. And the leather clothes made of the main part of leather can only be worn by rich people. Therefore, in Europe, buckskin is also very marketable.

And Ben's village head is famous, please trouble them to be wronged, and use the leather armor processed from the tattered leather that the Saurons want to discard. The purchase cost of this kind of leather armor is very low. In Muren's words, a pot that can exchange 10 pieces of new deerskin can be exchanged for hundreds of pieces of that old leather. What's more, it's the kind of old buckskin that's just a little bit worn out and barely usable... It's absolutely no problem to refurbish it a little bit, to fool me... As for the buckskin that's too worn out, the Saurons are too embarrassed to take it out and exchange it with you. thing……

As for the number of purchases, Muren estimates that at least hundreds of thousands of new skins can be purchased every year. If you are willing to accept those old deer skins, it is not a problem to collect 100,000 pieces of old skins every year, and the purchase price is extremely low... If you collect old skins in the first year, it is no problem to collect hundreds of thousands of old deerskins... …
