Chapter 044: The Huge Amount of Money Brought by Salt
There is a great terror between life and death, and fear will also make people fear and worship, as for why it is so high...... Maybe it's because of a one-time deal to kill chickens and take eggs?
Not just the few who died, but the rest of the living also contributed an average of 100 faith points to him.
Coupled with the contributions of the villagers who escaped death, Bai Yuqi's faith that had just been consumed in order to save the dog broke through 10,000 points for the first time!
Sure enough, combat is the fastest way to level up!
Not busy with joy first, Bai Yuqi instructed the villagers to throw the dead mountain bandits directly into the quagmire.
He [turned mud into stone] in the past, even if it was cleaned, and added a flat and wide rocky ground to the mountain road.
After everyone cleaned up the battlefield, they pressed the mountain bandits who were tied up like zongzi and returned to the village.
The villagers who had gone up the mountain to look for the cattle that had escaped in the chaos soon returned, and the old forests in the deep mountains were full of trees and thorns, and the big and small animals could not run far at all, but there was no loss.
The Yang clan, who won a big victory in a mountain bandit attack and had no casualties.
Happily, Bai Yuqi and Yang Tieniu, who had returned triumphantly, welcomed the young men into the village, and brought out the pig-killing vegetables and mutton soup that had been stewed for a day, for everyone who was tired of the day to eat and drink.
And since Sun Laodao saw Bai Yuqi's magical spell to rescue the dog, he followed him every step of the way.
He has devoted his life to the study of medical skills, and in addition to the destruction of his three views, it is estimated that he is also worried about Bai Yuqi's healing spell.
However, the village was busy at this time, although Sun Laodao was itchy and impatient, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he didn't dare to disturb Bai Yuqi without eyesight at this time.
And Yang Tieniu also took a big bite of food and drink, while reporting the harvest of this trip to Bai Yuqi.
Because of the huge amount of salt coins accumulated this time, their party almost swept away all the materials that Lantian and Chang'an could buy.
The livestock and all kinds of livestock and poultry bought alone are a large area of Wuyang, and it is no wonder that they will be coveted by mountain bandits.
However, the scale of the "Kushui Village Caravan" can probably only maintain its current state.
It's not that the money to buy things is not enough, with the million-level population of Chang'an, the salt output of Kushui Village can't taste the saltiness when all of it is thrown into the pot of soup.
It's that there are too few people to buy things, a total of Yang Tieniu and their twenty or thirty Yang family is young, even if there are a large number of livestock to carry goods, but they can't even take care of the number.
So in the end, the population of Kushui Village is too small.
"Master, don't you know, the salt treasure you brought to Chang'an is delicious!"
"The salt treasure brought by them last time has become a treasure in Chang'an, and I don't know how many big families do not hesitate to pay several times the price in order to exchange a salt treasure from others!"
"As soon as we entered the city this time, we were recognized by the store that did business with us last time, and the more than 30 boxes of salt treasures we brought were snatched up with the goods before they could enter the West Market!"
Yang Tieniu gnawed on a sheep bone stick, and sizzled the bone stick like a flute, and the picture was simply unsightly.
He licked his oily fingers, picked up a bowl of turbid wine and drank it all, and after a long sigh, he said excitedly: "I have made an appointment with those merchants, and I will go again tomorrow, they are waiting for them outside the city with goods, and they will be sent to the mountains!"
"Hmmm......"
Bai Yuqi nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that the salt coins he had refined had spread in Chang'an as expected.
One hundred pieces in a tube, ten in a box, a box in a hundred boxes, in fact, a box of salt coins is only 130 kilograms, and more than 30 boxes are only more than 4,000 kilograms.
More than four tons of salt, how?
A family can't eat until they die, but for Chang'an, which is short of salt, it is a drop in the bucket.
But when you count the value of the salt coin, it's pretty scary!
This time, Bai Yuqi asked Yang Tieniu to bring the salt coins, but Bai Yuqi prepared one box of snow salt coins, two boxes of green salt coins, four boxes of red salt coins, and twenty-five boxes of brown salt coins in proportion!
A box of 100,000 salt coins, according to the last coin, a box of brown salt coins is equivalent to 5,000 guan, and 20 boxes is 125,000 guan!
The red salt coins and green salt coins are also worth 40,000 and 60,000 yuan respectively, and only one box of snow salt coins is worth 100,000 yuan, which adds up to a huge amount of 325,000 yuan!
In addition, what Bai Yuqi told Yang Tieniu to buy was mainly some daily necessities and food such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, so the purchasing power was quite amazing!
Even if a bucket of millet needs a horse of silk, which is 3,200 yuan, this money is enough to buy back 10,000 stone of grain, calculated according to 60 kilograms of one stone, but it is 600 tons of grain, enough for more than 100 people of the Yang family in Kushui Village to eat for a lifetime!
However, Bai Yuqi, who is familiar with history, knows that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty will soon come.
At that time, grain prices will inevitably fall sharply, and they will definitely not be stupid enough to add fuel to the fire of the Tang Dynasty government in this season of food shortage.
At this time, the large-scale hoarding of grain is not only a waste of money but also a suspicion of hoarding, so in addition to buying a batch of grain reserves that are enough for Kushui Village to eat for a year, what is bought is something that will not affect the market and people's livelihood.
Cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry have basically reached saturation...... No matter how much it is, people like the Yang clan can't take care of it at all, so it won't cost much money.
"Now the supplies in the village are basically enough to eat for a long time!"
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Yuqi said, "So don't do it anymore!"
"Huh?"
Yang Tieniu was stunned, he had never experienced this feeling of being a rich businessman in his life.
Bai Yuqi suddenly didn't let him do it, and he was very disappointed, but he didn't dare not listen to the master's order, so he had to nod in disappointment.
"Don't worry!"
"In the future, there will be a time for you to show off your talents!"
"Our actions are too big and too eye-catching, doesn't this attract the covetousness of the 'mountain bandits'?"
Bai Yuqi couldn't help laughing: "It's okay to keep a low profile for a while!"
"Sir. ”
Lao Cunzheng couldn't help but worry: "Are we still refining the salt from the salt farm?"
Kushui Village has been poor for a long time, and it is the time when there is an addiction to making money, and it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses.
"Lian!"
"Not only continue to refine, but also expand the scale!"
"We can eat salt, but the people in Guanzhong are still suffering from a salt shortage!"
"These two acts of selling high-priced salt must have attracted the attention of the government, and it doesn't matter if you do it once or twice in the early days to buy materials. ”
Bai Yuqi nodded and said solemnly: "If you always do this, it will bring disaster to Kushui Village!"
