Xieshan County

A convoy of more than 60 camels is slowly entering Xieshan County.

In this era, a city without walls could not be called a big city.

The city of the people of the city is the city of the wall.

The county lord of Xieshan County and the directors of various divisions had already greeted them outside the city, and they were all happy to enter the city with the caravan at this time.

Hu Wangxiang said happily: "Go to my house today, I will entertain you well." ”

Lin Zunian said politely: "Then I'll bother, but I have to explain all these businesses first, otherwise I will change the price after staying for one night, and others will not say that I have colluded with your lord." ”

Hu Wangxiang smiled, "In terms of price, it's naturally easy to say, didn't you say the price before?" ”

Lin Zunian said solemnly: "Of course there is money, but I don't know if you want money or things here." ”

The director of the tax department of Xieshan County quickly said: "Money is okay, it is better to have things, and now it is better to let things go." ”

Lin Zunian said: "This time, in addition to the iron pot and copper hot pot, there are also iron nails, paper money, straw paper, quilts, filial piety clothes, according to Lord Wang's instructions, half of the goods are given money, and the remaining half is barter, and the specific price depends on the market." ”

This time, Wang Lanling asked Lin Zunian to be the leader on the surface, and did not let Hu Santu negotiate directly with outsiders, but let him finally make up his mind.

Lin Zunian has a lot of things to do, and he didn't plan to do business from the beginning, and Lin Zunian didn't have this idea, he wanted to do things in the yamen, similar to the kind of staff and masters, instead of buying and selling things everywhere.

However, there is really a shortage of people in his hands at the moment, so he asked Lin Zunian to come over and get busy first.

It is really not easy for Wang Lanling to train a cadre.

Lin Zunian will not be underestimated in terms of age or knowledge, and at first glance, he is not from Muzhou, but from Heishui County, and he is also Wang Lanling's subordinate.

In this case, the old man of the tax department said: "This is okay, how much paper money did you bring?" ”

Lin Zunian looked at Hu Wangxiang, but Hu Wangxiang smiled indifferently.

Lin Zunian didn't ask Hu Wangxiang's opinion, but let the old man of the tax department understand that it should be the county lord who negotiated with him, not the director of the tax department.

When the director of the tax department was embarrassed, Lin Zunian said to the old man: "This is wrong, of course the money is a thousand-yuan ticket, and paper money is another kind of money." ”

Hearing that it was a thousand-dollar ticket, the face of the director of the tax department was not good-looking.

A pound of cotton costs three cents, ten pounds and three cents, and a hundred pounds and three yuan, and an acre of land is less than 500 pounds on average, that is, 15 yuan.

Five thousand catties is one hundred and fifteen, and ten thousand catties are three hundred.

This 1,000-yuan ticket returned the harvest of 66 acres of cotton fields.

Cotton is worthless, and the reason why the director of the tax department has an ugly face is that the thousand-yuan ticket can't be spent here!

This money can only be spent in the county, and going to the county to spend money back and forth will cost a lot of money.

Compared with thousand-dollar tickets, everyone still prefers dime tickets, and this purchasing power is leveraged.

Lin Zunian continued: "This year, a total of 50,000 catties of cotton have been harvested, some of which are problematic, moldy or dirty, what we mean is that it has just begun, and I hope that you can be cautious about this matter, so that you can expand the transaction and buy more cotton this year." ”

Hu Wangxiang said: "Thousands of yuan is not good in the county, you need to go to the county, I said before that I used iron and copper to exchange cotton, how did I change my mind?" ”

Lin Zunian explained: "I haven't changed my mind, follow the local customs, and abide by the market conditions here, this time, in addition to half of the money given by tickets, the remaining half is exchanged for the goods we brought." ”

Hu Wangxiang groaned for a while, looked at his group of subordinates again, and then said, "This way, isn't it okay?" ”

Lin Zunian said seriously: "My lord, please take a look! ”

I saw Lin Zunian take off the leather bag carried by the camel next to him.

This bag is two bags hanging on either side of the camel, which looks quite heavy.

After the bag landed on the loess road, Lin Zunian opened the sack and took out a copper-colored hot pot inside with both hands.

"Everyone, please see, the color of this copper hot pot, this shape, as long as you put a little charcoal fire in it in winter, then you can eat hot pot around the table!"

"Drinking hot soup, shabu mutton, beef, greens, leaves, lamb brain, beef offal, it is not a problem to use it for decades!"

"And!"

While there were still many curious passers-by around, Lin Zunian went to take down a one-meter-high iron pot from another camel.

"Look, look! This big iron pot is made of thousands of hammers and chisels! Marrying a daughter-in-law to live, how can there be no such a clean and affordable pot? ”

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, it's just such a good pot, as long as three hundred catties of cotton!"

"Just one acre of cotton, planting cotton for a year can have a bride price for a daughter-in-law!"

"Loss?! No loss! Whether it's given to my father-in-law's family, or kept for myself, it's all affordable! ”

"If you can't buy it, you can't be fooled, three hundred catties of cotton will be sent over, and you will be carried home in an iron pot!"

Lin Zunian shouted very hard, and the people around looked at the silver-white iron pot, and they all felt that three hundred catties of cotton for this iron pot were really sure to make a profit!

Basically, there are not many kinds of cotton, but cotton is really worthless.

This thing can be used in winter, and in normal times, there is not much demand.

And now that the weather is warmer, there are even fewer places to use cotton.

However, most of the people in the city do not grow this, and even though the new county lord has always asked everyone to grow cotton, everyone still prefers to grow grain rather than cotton that cannot be sold.

Three hundred catties of cotton will not be small at home, and the iron pot is really needed, especially when the family has a large population and needs to be separated, an iron pot is very important.

"Is it really 300 catties of cotton to sell this pot?" Soon a young man asked, and he didn't believe it.

Lin Zunian quickly said: "That's right! As long as you bring it, this pot will be given to you! You can't be short of catties, and you can't be shoddy! We Shanhai County people do business, and Tong Su is not bullied! ”

How the credibility of Heishui County has developed, Lin Zunian is looking at it, and this time it is just a repetition of the development of Heishui County.

"Then you wait, when are you leaving?" The man still feels a little unreliable, but is willing to give it a try.

Lin Zunian said: "We are here before the sun sets, and we will go to the county government to rest after dark, and we will go back to Shanhai County after the things are sold." ”

At this time, there was still some time before the sun set, and the man quickly ran out.

Seeing this, the director of the tax department quickly said: "You can't do this, it's a business between us, how can you sell things to others?" ”

Lin Zunian said coldly: "The thing is mine!" Who am I selling to? And you won't be missing money! ”

"You...... This ...... "The director of the tax department became anxious.

Hu Wangxiang quickly said: "I am the county lord of Xieshan County, and I have planted a lot of cotton here because of Lord Wang's request. ”

Lin Zunian adjusted his mood and said: "This is naturally to continue to cooperate, we adults know that the price here is unstable, so let me replace the remaining payment with some goods." ”

"For example, this iron pot, copper hot pot, Mito, cotton clothes, paper money, straw paper, and so on."

Hu Wangxiang said curiously: "What is paper money?" ”

Hu Wangxiang really didn't know this, he couldn't react, and he didn't think that Wang Lanling would do this kind of business......

Lin Zunian said: "It's the paper money burned to the dead, now not only the coins in the yang world are worthless, but the things in the underworld are also rising, so our Lord Wang specially invented this kind of white paper money." ”

Lin Zunian took out a stack of square-shaped paper money from his pocket, and after touching his tongue with his fingers and licking it, he quickly and skillfully counted the money one by one in his hand.

"These are different from ordinary paper money, it is the death money invented by Lord Wang Lanling, the death of death, one is 10,000 yuan, and this stack is 1 million! As long as ten catties of cotton can be exchanged for this pile of money! ”

"To the dead relatives and friends, strict father, loving mother and grandfather, burn some good ones, people have worked hard all their lives, and we as children can't treat them badly!"

"Also, the coffin is too small, too crowded and too heavy, this pure white quilt is more suitable than the coffin, let the family go innocently! Let the deceased soar through the clouds on the white cotton, go to heaven on errands, and favor their descendants. ”

Cheng Jiamu was dumbfounded at this time, this Nima's ...... That's just a great thing to say!

Whether he believes it or not, there are people around him who believe it anyway.

Even if only one person believes, it will spread as quickly as a contagious disease.

After all, in another world that is not superstitious, an upgraded version of the banknote with the Jade Emperor printed on it was only in a few years that it was circulated throughout the country.

Not every family has the money to buy a coffin for the dead elderly, so the argument that wrapping a pure white quilt is equivalent to driving the clouds and fog to heaven is easily accepted.

After all, it's affordable......

The coffin of being promoted and making a fortune will not withdraw from the stage of history, at least not in these years, so there is still a market for iron nails.

Just need, all are just needs, whether it is a red or white happy event, these things in Shanhai County must be used.

It's not that there is no iron pot and quilt paper money here in Xieshan County, but the quality can't compete with the industrial products of Shanhai County, and the price is not much cheaper, so people still think that Shanhai County's things are better!

In April, there were more people growing cotton in Xieshan County.

Whether it is to marry a daughter-in-law for his son, or for his own posthumous affairs, every family has set aside half an acre of land to grow cotton.
