"Hey, how about selling a batch of goods for this house?"

Faced with Cai Ji's question of a 180-degree turn, he raised his head with a disconnected face on his face, and opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to answer.

However, Cai Ji completely ignored the other party's confused appearance, and directly raised his hand to pull Duan Rong up and said, "Don't kneel stupidly." Let's get up and take a look at the goods first. ”

Although Duan Rong still couldn't figure out that Cai Ji's gourd was selling medicine. However, since the handle is already in the hands of the other party, and there are Tai Shici and other generals standing around. He couldn't help but say "no" to Cai Ji. So Duan Rong hurriedly got up and followed Cai Ji to the center of the big tent.

The Guan Cheng on the side suddenly lifted the linen covering the trophies, and snorted coldly that the goods were all here. You'll have to give us a good price. Otherwise, hum ......"

Duan Rong listened to Guan Cheng's threat, and then fixed his eyes on the pile of so-called goods, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. I thought, it's broken, it's broken, this time it's really going to be peeled off if you don't die. Duan Rong estimated that he bought the pile in front of him, and the money he earned from selling smuggled salt this time was not enough, and he needed to put another amount of savings into it. In this way, don't say that you are redeeming yourself for Ah Rui, I am afraid that I will be greatly injured. However, compared to making a big deal about the sale of smuggled salt, it is still worth breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster. What's more, although raw silk and mink are not in demand, they can always be sold out if they are sold slowly. Thinking of this, Duan Rong immediately gritted his teeth and promised Cai Ji that Xiao Cai Fujun could rest assured that Rong would sell this batch of goods at a good price. ”

Cai Ji saw that Duan Rong agreed so happily, and while he was overjoyed, he also cautiously instructed him that the government didn't want to make a noise about it, and he didn't know if Duan Cao Peng's next family could be trusted? ”

Duan Rong thought to himself, where did he come from? It's not Lao Tzu who eats alone. But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and said that Xiao Cai Fujun could rest assured that Rong would never open up this matter. ”

"So good! My lord, we won't have to worry about having nowhere to ship in the future. Guan Cheng saw that such a big deal was easily negotiated, and he couldn't help but start thinking about the next business.

But Duan Rong heard that Guan Cheng wanted him to be a foodie for a long time, but even his face turned green! And next time! What a gang of bandits! In a hurry, Duan Rong even began to consider whether to ask his father for help. Although Duan Kui will be scolded for doing so, it is better than being threatened by Cai Ji and others.

Duan Rong's expression change naturally couldn't escape Cai Ji's eyes. Realizing that the situation had changed, she asked in a deep voice, "? What's wrong? ”

Duan Rong thought to himself: That's it, there is a big scar on the head! Rather than being played to death by this gang of bandits. It's better to take a knife! Now that he has the consciousness of breaking the jar and breaking it, Duan Rong is also out of the way. But seeing that he first grabbed the raw silk and disdainfully said that he would not hide it from Xiao Cai Fujun, this batch of goods was actually quite difficult to get rid of. Taking this raw silk as an example, at present, the Central Plains is constantly in turmoil, where can the weavers weave brocade with peace of mind? Therefore, there is a demand for raw silk in Soochow and Shu. ”

Duan Rong said this, and secretly glanced at Cai Ji again. Seeing the other party's expression, Duan Rong had the courage to pick up the mink and said that as for this mink, it is better to sell than raw silk. However, at this time of starvation, the families in Jiesili and other places are still busy pawning pawns in exchange for rations. It can be seen that there are not many high-rollers who are willing to buy mink at a large price. ”

Guan Cheng saw that Duan Rong had depreciated the loot he had looted to worthless, so he couldn't help but press his knife and glare, "What do you mean by this?" Does that mean this product can't be sold? ”

Duan Rong was originally talking about the truth, but at this time, Guan Cheng drank it like a fierce god, and quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a smile, "It can be sold, it can be sold." It's just going to take some time. ”

In fact, there is no need for Duan Rongming to say, Cai Ji also knows that there is no market for raw silk and mink in the Central Plains at the moment. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of finding Duan Rong to sell the stolen goods. It must be known that compared with those traveling merchants mentioned by Guan Cheng, the Duan family in Huangxian County is also a big salt merchant, and they will have business dealings with the wealthy families of the time. Therefore, Cai Ji always has a way to sell this batch of tricky stolen goods quietly with the connections of the Duan family. But as Duan Rong said, one or two batches of such stolen goods can barely be sold. If there are too many of them, it will be difficult to do. After all, the era we are in at this moment is the end of the Han Dynasty with a population of less than 2 million, "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles", not the end of the Ming Dynasty and the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the germ of capitalism broke out with a population of hundreds of millions. There is really not much market for luxury goods in this era when eating is a problem. In addition, due to the restrictions of transportation and war, the market currently faced by Donglai is still dominated by the Central Plains states such as Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, Hebei, You, and Sili. However, these areas are the hardest hit areas by the combination of war and natural disasters. Therefore, Cai Ji knew that in order to prosper Donglai through commerce, it was necessary to open up maritime trade routes and expand the market to areas less affected by the war, such as Soochow, Lingnan, Liaodong, Samhan and even the Wa Kingdom.

However, before opening up new markets, it is important to understand the market demand. It was not easy to rob the loot like this time, but it was almost unsalable because it did not meet the market demand. Thinking of this, Cai Ji calmly asked Duan Rong that according to Duan Cao Peng's opinion, what is the best-selling thing at the moment? ”

Duan Rong saw that Cai Ji didn't glare at Hengmei like those martial artists, and thought that it was better to be a woman at this time. After calming down a little, Duan Rong stretched out four fingers and replied, "Xiao Cai Mansion Jun is clear, according to Rong, there are four hot goods today. ”

"I want to hear about it." Cai Ji bowed his head very cooperatively.

It must be known that although Duan Rong is already in his first year and has been an official to Cao Peng, he has always been just an echo worm of his father Duan Kui. In front of his father Duan Kui, Duan Rong didn't dare to have an idea, let alone a proposition. All he could do was unconditionally obey his father's decision and complete it wholeheartedly. But even so, Duan Rong still couldn't get his father's affirmation. After thirty years of such a resignation, Duan Rong gradually began to have a sense of urgency that many things would be fleeting if he didn't do them. So he became infatuated with the camp prostitute Xue Rui and had the courage to sell illicit salt. This symptom is called "midlife crisis" or "midlife rebellion".

Of course, Duan Rong didn't understand the psychological analysis of later generations. He's only been planted home today. The worst is just a loss of head. So he was a lot more bold than usual. In addition, Cai Ji was quite polite to consult him about his best business. So at this time, Duan Rong changed his past only words, and talked eloquently about one of them, which was food. As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky. No matter how precious gold and silver jewels are, they cannot be eaten. In these troubled times, food is the foundation of a country. Second, salt. Salt is not as important as food. However, if people do not eat salt, their limbs will be weak and they will be dizzy. Horses and animals carrying heavy loads also need to be fed with salt. Therefore, if all forces want to crusade and conquest, salt must be indispensable. Third, it is armor. That is, in troubled times, the princes have to recruit troops and buy horses, and the wealthy families have to settle down to protect themselves. All of this requires armor. Fourth, ...... for money"

"Money?" Cai Ji frowned and interrupted. Cai Ji had no objection to the three things of food, salt, and armor. In troubled times, of course, the best thing to sell is munitions. But hearing that Duan Rong also listed copper coins as a bestseller, Cai Ji was a little surprised in his heart. The Eastern Han Dynasty originally used five baht coins, that is, a kind of small copper coins with the word "five baht" cast on the outer circle and inner square. However, in the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo coerced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an. In order to collect private wealth, he destroyed various copper products since the Qin Dynasty as raw materials for coinage. Qin Shi Huang collected the world's weapons and cast 12 bronze figures, according to legend, each gold man weighed 240,000 catties, and Dong Zhuo used 9 of them to cast money. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to live forever, and built a god platform, there was a dew plate on the platform, and there were copper immortals holding copper plates and jade cups to undertake the "dew of the cloud surface", and mixed with jade crumbs to eat. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also cast bronze beasts, bronze birds, bronze dragons, copper horses and copper pillars. These copper products were all demolished by Dong Zhuo and used to mint money. But this fat man Dong looted so many bronze objects, but the money he minted cut corners. Not only is the quality of the money poor, but it is also extremely light and thin, and some even have the word "five baht" cast. In Cai Ji's opinion, it can't be called copper money at all, it can only be regarded as copper pieces and copper rings. Although Dong Zhuo was killed in the third year of the first peace, his practice of indiscriminately minting small coins had already disrupted the monetary economy of the Han Dynasty, and the division of princes caused the Han court to lose its central co-ordination function.

Therefore, in the face of Duan Rong's statement that money is listed as a bestseller, Cai Ji cautiously reminded Duan Cao Peng that since Dong Zhuo indiscriminately minted small money, and today, money is no longer money. How to call it a hot item? ”

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Although Duan Rong had heard his father mention Cai Ji's amazing appearance in Xuzhou before, it was not until this moment that Cai Ji said that "money is no longer money", and Duan Rong was really impressed by him. You must know that there are many fools in this world like Dong Zhuo, who think that the more money the better. Even to put it mildly, Cai Ji's father, the late Cai Taishou, is also such a short-sighted person. As soon as he saw the troubled times coming, he desperately collected copper coins, intending to use these copper coins to recruit troops and buy horses. To this day, there is still a lot of small money piled up in the warehouse of the county government, and no one cares about it. As everyone knows, copper coins are just a medium for exchanging goods. If there is no goods in the market, what is the use of minting more copper coins? Cai Ji can see through the mystery at a glance, which shows that this girl is much more shrewd than his father. If it was the little Cai Taishou in front of him, it would be impossible for the Duan family to exchange a box of small money for a load of grain.

However, Duan Rong didn't plan to repeat his father's trick from the beginning. What's more, since he knew that the other party was also an expert in this area at this moment, Duan Rong couldn't help but say an idea that he had been pondering but didn't dare to propose, "Xiao Cai Fujun only knows one and doesn't know the other. At present, the Central Plains is indeed no longer money. However, in overseas feudal countries, the barbarians still flocked to the copper coins of the Han Dynasty. In the final analysis, it is because it does not mint money itself, so it needs to rely on the money minted by the Han to buy and sell goods. Since Xiao Cai Fujun has already looked overseas, how can he ignore such a big deal. ”

Cai Ji was still pondering Duan Rong's explanation before, and when he heard his last sentence, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask noncommittally, "What does Duan Cao Peng mean by this?" ”

Duan Rong saw that Cai Ji was still loading garlic, so he grabbed a piece of mink and smiled at her If Duan didn't guess, these goods in front of him were all Sanhan goods. ”

As soon as Duan Rong's words fell, a white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, a chill spread along the long blade in Guan Cheng's hand to Duan Rong's neck, causing the skin on his neck to unconsciously develop goosebumps. To Guan Cheng, he may not be able to understand the conversation between Cai Ji and Duan Rong just now, but he knows that the looting of the Samhan tribute ship is a secret that cannot be passed on. At this moment, since Duan Rong had seen that their secret had been revealed, as long as Cai Ji gave him a look, Guan Cheng would not hesitate to cut off Duan Rong's head.

However, at this time, Cai Ji did not order to kill people. I saw that she raised her hand and opened the long knife that was bearing Duan Rong's neck, and said frankly to the latter. The goods in front of him are all tributes looted by the Donglai naval army. ”

Duan Rong originally thought that Cai Ji just asked people to buy some local products from Sanhan and sell them. But who would have thought that this little Cai Fujun in front of him would dare to instruct pirates to loot the Sanhan tribute ship! They even came here to sell the stolen goods for them! It's messy, it's messy, it's really messed up in this world! Even the lady who was born in a scholarly family became a thief. Duan Rong was surprised in his heart at Cai Ji's ruthlessness, and at the same time looked at the long blade not far from his neck, knowing that he was really on the thief ship this time. If you don't give Cai Ji and others a satisfactory explanation today, they will have to fall to the ground. So Duan Rong immediately threw the argument he had just made out of the clouds, and directly knelt on the ground with a thud and begged Cai Ji for mercy, saying that Xiao Cai Fujun spared his life. The little one will definitely sell this batch of goods for you and others at a good price, and will never spread the word about it. ”

Cai Ji saw Duan Rong kneeling on the ground trembling in fright, and couldn't help but sigh that the way of the world was still the best with a knife. But then again, Duan Rong's remarks about copper coins just now really made Cai Jimao pause. Yes, at the beginning, due to the influence of the fixed thinking of the previous life, Cai Ji has always only regarded copper coins as currency. But after Duan Rong mentioned it, Cai Ji remembered that in the ancient Chinese tributary system, copper coins could indeed be traded as goods with surrounding vassal states. For example, the Song and Ming dynasties had a shortage of domestic money due to the loss of a large number of copper coins to vassal states. However, this money shortage caused the Ming Dynasty to develop from the copper coin standard to the silver standard. This shows that many things in this world are two-sided. Just like the current indiscriminate issuance of copper coins by the Eastern Han Dynasty, which caused inflation. However, if these copper coins were exported to overseas vassal countries, it became a different way to make money. The difference between misfortune and blessing is sometimes in the perspective of people's view of problems.

Duan Rong is undoubtedly such a person with a unique vision. Therefore, Cai Ji immediately happily helped Duan Rong Daoru to be a talent. If the government is thirsty for talents, how can it hurt talents. ”
