Perhaps it is under the influence of Sister Zhang Huaiyu, Zhang Huaijin has a river and lake in her heart, in her own rivers and lakes, she is a master of the rivers and lakes of martial arts, chivalrous and righteous hoe to help the weak, respected and loved, she is like a messenger of justice, exuding the light of righteousness.

Young people may have such a dream, do something kind for strangers, gain some respectful eyes, and then like a real man who never looks back at the explosion, he turns around and leaves in a chic manner, even Li Bai has written "Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving a line", "kindness" is the imprint in the soul of this nation, like words and spirit for thousands of years.

However, in addition to the inner rivers and lakes, Zhang Huaijin's skills are too loose, and the "skills" mentioned here are not only her skills, but also other aspects. Such as the ability to survive, the ability to take care of oneself and so on.

The bargaining price is so weak, is she only so rigid in front of acquaintances?

In the past, Gu Qing always felt that Zhang Huaiyu was stupid and sweet, but now after comparing Zhang Huaijin, he realized that he was too naïve, the sisters of the Zhang family are really a mountain higher than a mountain in terms of silly white sweetness, and it is really not a loss to call Zhang Huaiyu a big brother, she is too strong in comparison, just because she dares to stumble through the rivers and lakes alone, this big brother is well deserved, fortunately, she only broke from Chang'an to Shuzhou, otherwise Zhang Huaiyu at this time should be locked up in a firewood house in a remote and barren mountain village to give birth to a son to a fool.

After only entering one store, Gu Qing saw the essence of Zhang Huaijin clearly, so he had to give up the original intention of asking her to help bargain. Even if this girl sells herself, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed to shout too high a price, at most she will say "you look at it".

There are many types of substances on the list, most of them are coarse cloth, pig iron and cloth shoes, pig iron belongs to the substances controlled by the imperial court, and they are not sold in the east market, but there are still coarse cloth and cloth shoes, Gu Qing mainly checks these two things.

Zuo Wei is one of the guards guarding Chang'an Palace, the clothing of the army soldiers is uniform, and the weapons are also unified, Gu Qing doesn't know what kind of rules Zuo Wei's procurement was before, but since he is a long history, some things can't be confused.

It has nothing to do with serving the country with loyalty, Gu Qing mainly doesn't want to take responsibility inexplicably, you can't hide bad things from people in officialdom, because people who do bad things are often a nest, and checking one will bring out a big list, the difference is just to see how the people above weigh the pros and cons, Gu Qing doesn't want to be one of these big lists.

"Third brother, you can't, you're too weak." Gu Qing shook his head and denied Zhang Huaijin.

Zhang Huaijin was unconvinced and said: "Bargaining, didn't I kill a penny?" Seeing how happy the shopkeeper is, he immediately agreed, and we also made a penny cheap, and both buyers and sellers were happy, is there anything wrong? ”

Gu Qing's speech was suddenly sluggish, what he said was so reasonable, and the logic was so smooth, he couldn't refute it.

Shaking his head vigorously, Gu Qing tried to return to his normal IQ, if he was deviated by a stupid white sweetie, it would be a great shame in his life.

"The most important thing is to be happy. You see, wouldn't it be happier if we killed a few more pennies on top of the price of one penny? The cheaper we make, the happier we feel, do you want to be happier? ”

Zhang Huaijin's eyes widened and nodded stupidly.

"So, when someone else offers twenty yuan, if you try to kill the price of ten yuan, you will gain ten times more happiness than just now, what's wrong?"

Zhang Huaijin was hypnotized, and said stupidly: "It seems to be ...... That's right, too. ”

Gu Qing was satisfied, stroked the dog's head with a smile, and gently pushed forward: "Go, Pikachu." ”

In the second store, the coarse cloth was still at the price of twenty wen, and Zhang Huaijin held his head high and raised a finger.

The shopkeeper was stunned: "One less article? OK! How much does a girl want? ”

Zhang Huaijin shook his head: "No, sell it to me for a penny." ”

The shopkeeper's three views have been shattered, and his body is shaky: "A penny and a piece of cloth? ”

"Yes."

The shopkeeper subconsciously looked out of the door, he felt that this girl was not here to do business, but to rob, there must be her accomplices outside the door, and then he saw Gu Qing who was self-conscious outside the door, and the shopkeeper sighed gloomily, sure enough, there were accomplices......

"Girl, you have to choose a good time to rob, dare to rob in Chang'an East City in broad daylight, you are too bold, and there is no one in my store? If you don't leave, I'll report to the official! The shopkeeper said sharply.

Zhang Huaijin was furious and was about to step forward to blow his dog's head, Gu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Tong Yan Wuji, she is still young, and she was joking just now." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them suspiciously, and said angrily: "If you don't have the sincerity to buy cloth, please leave, I don't have time to spend time with the two of you." ”

Gu Qing had to go out in person, pointing to a bundle of dark blue coarse cloth and said, "How much is this coarse cloth?" The shopkeeper should not raise the price, give a real one. ”

"Twenty Wen."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about the price, how many adult men's clothes can be made into one piece of cloth?" ”

The shopkeeper said without hesitation: "If you make a long shirt......"

"No, make shirts, shirts and pants."

"Oh, you can make five sets of clothes and pants, and if you save one scrap, you can make up to six sets."

Gu Qing quickly calculated the quantity and price on the list in his mind, the price has not been killed, it cannot be calculated for the time being, but the quantity is easy to calculate, the amount of coarse cloth to be purchased on the list can equip an army of 200,000 people, but this purchase has already written a set of soldiers of the left guard, and the total number of soldiers of the entire left guard is only more than 40,000 people, that is to say, this list is enough to eat the empty amount of nearly 160,000 people, even if it is a lot of money, it is also a surprising huge benefit.

Gu Qing held back the shock in his heart, but still smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, if I want 50,000 pieces of coarse cloth, how much is each horse?" ”

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Fifty thousand? The guest officer is not wrong? Really 50,000 horses? ”

"Yes, give me a real price."

"Such a large transaction, I ...... You may not be able to eat it......," the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "But you can help find cloth merchants with large shipments, and if the guest officer is willing, you only need to give a small tap under you." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "You estimate the actual price first, if you are not satisfied with the price, it is useless to say more." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's 50,000 horses...... Eight Wen is a horse, I don't know what the guest official wants? ”

"How's Wuwen?" Gu Qing stared at his eyes and said.

The shopkeeper said categorically: "It's impossible, if the guest officer doesn't believe it, Man Chang'an will ask, no one wants to ship Wuwen, and no matter how large the transaction is, it will cost you." ”

"What about Liuwen?" Gu Qing asked, still staring at his eyes.

The shopkeeper's eyes quickly flashed a hint of hesitation, and then shook his head: "Six Wen is not successful, you are too ruthless to bargain, you can't do this business......"

Gu Qing smiled, the hesitation in the shopkeeper's eyes just now was captured by him, it seems that the real real price is about six Wen, and this price happens to be the critical point of the cloth merchant.

In this way, Gu Qing clearly got the real data, the price of the coarse cloth on the list was one hundred wen per horse, which could equip an army of 200,000 people, and this alone was a difference of thousands of yuan.

And this is just a coarse cloth, on the list in Gu Qing's hand, in addition to coarse cloth, there are also pig iron, wood, charcoal, cooked copper, tung oil, military horses, craftsman construction costs and many other procurement items, each of which is a huge amount, if it is counted, Gu Qing can't even think about it, and after a rough estimate, there is a difference of more than 100,000 yuan.

"A deal can last a lifetime,......," Gu Qing was secretly shocked.

After learning the actual price, Gu Qing was about to leave with Zhang Huaijin, but before leaving, Gu Qing didn't know what to think of, and suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper, I don't know if there is a cheaper cloth than coarse cloth?" ”

The shopkeeper pointed to a few bundles of cyan cloth in the corner, and said: "That kind is cheaper, and it is really a business under it, and I don't hide it from the guest officer, this batch of cloth is very rough in workmanship, and it is worn on the body to breathe the wind, and it can't be sold at all, and it has been hoarded in my hand for several years. ”

Gu Qing picked up the corner of the cloth and rubbed it between his fingers for a while, roughly familiar with the feel, and then smiled and thanked him and said goodbye.

…………

Just got into trouble at home, Zhang Huaijin didn't dare to go home, Gu Qing wanted to go to Zuowei to do errands, and couldn't take her, so he had to send her to Li Shiniang's mansion, so that she could learn casually with Li Shiniang's disciples and get over the addiction of the masters of the rivers and lakes.

Back at Zuowei's mansion, Gu Qingjing saw Li Guangbi.

After seeing Li Guangbi, Gu Qing didn't talk nonsense, took out the list from his arms and handed it to him. Li Guangbi took it and looked at it again, his brows gradually frowned, unlike the stupid white sweet Zhang Huaijin, Li Guangbi lived to this age, and he still had some understanding of the prices in Chang'an.

"Who gave this to you?" Li Guangbi asked in a deep voice.

"Zuo Wei Cangcao joins the army, Zhu Yan." Gu Qingyan said succinctly.

Li Guangbi said coldly: "The water is too big, and you are bold!" ”

Gu Qing said curiously: "In previous years, the purchase price of Zuowei Mansion was the same?" ”

Li Guangbi snorted: "Zuowei Mansion has purchases every year, there are more people who handle it, and the price is often a little watery, the official office, officials at all levels will always find a way to make a little bit when they get their hands on it, so they slightly raise the price, and it is not surprising that they are greedy for hundreds or thousands of dollars, most of the time the list that is reported, I also turn a blind eye to the criticism, and I can't be too upright to be an official, if it's not too much, it's best not to block people's money......

Gu Qing blinked, pointed to the list in his hand and said, "What about this year's list?" ”

Li Guangbi slapped the list on the table, was silent for a long time, and said, "This year is too much." ”

After a pause, Li Guangbi said again: "This year's price is more than three times higher than in previous years, I wonder who is so bold and so reckless, aren't you afraid of finding out and losing your head?" ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "When Zhu Yan gave me this list, he said that this matter is not for him to decide. ”

Li Guangbi sneered: "A mere Cangcao, he can't have such a bold heart, but I don't know which powerful man is standing behind him, or rather, the top and bottom of Zuo Wei's mansion have all been opened up by him, otherwise such an excessive list will definitely not appear in your hands." ”
