Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

This was not something Liu Weishan said out of impulse.

Ever since they learned that it was the Huo family that stepped in to help Ning Yuan's men withstand the pressure, these old men had some ideas.

Here, they live by the sea and have no shortage of supplies.

But if you go further inland, the problems become much bigger.

Even though the famine years have passed, we still caused too much famine in previous years, and the people above are all very responsible.

For those brothers from the fifth class who are still living in dire straits, it is really necessary to contribute money and effort.

Even if we have to tighten our belts, we still have to provide support.

Therefore, although the overall harvest of the people has increased a lot in the past two years, the grain tax is still very high, and they have to pay for security grain and urban food rations.

I didn't actually fall much.

Whether it is meat, grain, or clothes and shoes for light industry, as well as the most basic ones, such as sewing machines, bicycles, and flashlights.

They are all rare items!

There is no way, we cannot produce it, or rather, the production cannot meet the demand.

It would be strange if it wasn't scarce!

But in Hong Kong Island, due to the industrial upgrading and transfer that has taken place there, many of the original labor-intensive industries have moved to neighboring countries and regions.

Hong Kong Island also has a large share of the market. Why are there large social groups starting to get involved in remote places like Tuen Mun, Yau Ma Tei, and even Tsz Wan Shan recently?

This is because a large number of light industries have poured in and land development is needed.

They used to be deserted villages and wild lands, but now they have become valuable.

There are so many things needed in the mainland. Almost anything produced here can be profitable if it is put into the mainland.

If we have some conscience, even if we charge one-third of the price collected through customs, Ning Yuan and his team can still make one or two times the profit.

This is the charm of channels!

Ning Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke to the people at the table.

"I've thought about what Uncle Liu is talking about, and it's doable! We have unique advantages. We can handle everything from sourcing, transportation, cross-sea shipping, reselling to the mainland, and even customs clearance paperwork. It's not a big deal. There's just one thing I don't understand!"

Liu Weishan, Huang Guiyang and others also understood Ning Yuan’s current position and Ning Wanli’s importance in Sijiu City and their entire system.

These words were spoken to Ning Yuan only after careful consideration.

Seeing that Ning Yuan had agreed, everyone was confused by Ning Yuan's words before they had time to be happy.

"What's the problem you don't understand? Dayuan, just tell us. We have nothing to hide!"

Huang Guiyang asked Ning Yuan anxiously.

Ning Yuan glanced at Huang Guiyang, Liu Weishan, and Wei Yuan before speaking.

"Since this matter can't be done openly, it must be done privately. The connections of the uncles will have to be used. I'm wondering, how should we divide it when the time comes?"

It is important to discuss this kind of thing in advance, and Ning Yuan actually has no intention of making money from this matter.

He works in the Ministry of Economy. After smuggling these materials back, he would be able to negotiate a deal directly with Uncle Li Jiran.

That would not only solve the livelihood problems of many people around the old city.

It can even be distributed uniformly, giving priority to areas affected by disasters or where supplies are in short supply.

This is a serious matter of accumulating virtue, and it is enough to ensure that you do not lose money.

Of course, Ning Yuan thought so, and that was his business. He was a man of high moral character and a broad mind, so it was no problem. He could just pay from his own share.

As for other people's things, it depends on what they think. Ning Yuan doesn't think he is so shameless that he can take away other people's interests with just one word.

So, he started asking questions to these people.

Huang Guiyang and Liu Weishan looked at each other, then waved their hands together and spoke to Ning Yuan.

"What are you talking about, kid? We came up with this idea because we wanted to give the people in the mainland more food and clothing. What do we get for our share? The three of us are Party members! We joined the Party on the front line! The power we hold can benefit the people, not ourselves. Don't I, your uncle, have this bottom line?"

After listening to Huang Guiyang's words, Ning Yuan clasped his fists.

"Uncle Huang, you are this!! I am convinced!"

Ning Yuan then gave Huang Guiyang a thumbs up.

"Since the three of you agree, I'll state it bluntly. Tomorrow, within five days at most, I'll come up with a plan for this matter! As long as we guarantee we don't lose money, we'll keep doing this. We can even ship the goods directly into the Forbidden City. I'll take care of the formalities!"

"Alright!! That's good! We trust Minister Li. With him overseeing the distribution of these things, at least the risk is worth it!"

Wei Yuan, who had been silent all this time, immediately understood their idea when he heard that Ning Yuan was even going to transport the smuggled supplies into Sijiu City, and said to Ning Yuan.

Huang Guiyang and Liu Weishan also nodded in agreement.

Ning Yuan was not surprised that the three of them knew Minister Li Jiran.

Although Li Jiran was not originally from the 129 Lions, he was initially in charge of the political work of the Second Sub-district of Jizhong.

At that time, the logistics were also handled by others.

If you don’t understand, you can ask around and find out the value of several divisions in Central Hebei in the various rear bases at that time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Jiran deserves half of the credit.

They are old revolutionaries, and these people are trustworthy.

A few days ago, Ning Yuan and his group were in the old city. In fact, it was really Li Jiran, Ning Wanli, Lu Xiangqing and others, plus Zhong Yang, who directly pushed them forward by using economic and stability maintenance issues.

The matter is obvious, with reason and evidence, and the old man can't say anything!

After a few people roughly planned the route, the matter gradually became clearer.

The situation in Hong Kong is simple. The Yuanteng Group registered by Chen Liangzi and others will invest in purchasing supplies, and the Huo family will also provide some explicit guarantees.

When transporting cargo from Hong Kong Island to the harbor, Huang Guiyang and his coast guard colleagues will find a secluded route.

Customs issues documents, but of course, these documents are not recorded in the books.

Then, it will be easy to go to the mainland. Ning Wanli or Ning Yuan can just go directly to Li Jiran to get a pass.

Buy at a fair price, deducting the loss costs in the middle.

It can be sold at almost the same price, which is much cheaper than going through customs formally.

Get the same thing at one-fifth, one-sixth the price.

Processed grain products, such as canned fruit, canned ham, canned meat, etc., have even been transformed into instant noodles for civilian use in recent years.

Industrial products, bicycles, sewing machines, flashlights and more!

The prices are so low that they break the cognition of mainland people.

Moreover, the stable and large-scale supply will not only satisfy the extravagant enjoyment of a small number of people, but will truly benefit the people!
