Chapter 315, Profitable Buying and Selling
In just ten days, just more than 1,500 slaves, Qiao Yong earned 100,000 taels of silver, and his whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood, and there was a more profitable business in the world?
Salt, tea, horses, and iron were far inferior to this trade, and he seemed to see a golden avenue, as if he had discovered a new world.
The whole person immediately returned to Datong non-stop, ready to see if he could sell some more slaves to the capital, a slave earns sixty taels of silver, this kind of trade is really too profitable.
"Lord Liu, I don't know if you still have grassland captives in your hands, I want them."
When I came to Datong, I found Liu Yu who was familiar with the way and asked again if there was any captivity.
"No, it's all for you last time, the little prince went to Gansu and Shaanxi."
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head, this wave he is really making a lot of money, defending the city has meritorious, the above commendation orders have arrived, and he has already recruited people to go through with fellow villager Liu Jian, and it is estimated that he will soon be able to leave this bitter cold border town area and transfer to the capital.
The last time more than 1,500 captives brought him 30,000 taels of silver, which is very important, leaving here, there is no doubt that the business of this horse market will not have his share, and if you want to make money in the capital, it is not as easy as the border town.
But when you arrive in the capital, there are more places where you need to use silver, and you have a little relationship between the top and bottom, and it is not easy to live in the capital, and the same is true for them who are officials.
So he is also a little worried now, whether to go to the capital or not, if he goes to the capital, he may not be able to get a fat shortage of real power for the time being, although it is a promotion, it is better to make a fortune in this place far away from Emperor Gao.
The business of this horse market is very profitable, the worthless horses on the grassland are transported to silver, and the worthless salt, iron, and tea transported to the grassland are also silver for white flowers.
"None?"
When Qiao Yong heard this, he was slightly disappointed, and he was counting on a few more waves, so that he could easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"It seems that Boss Qiao made a lot of money from those goods last time."
Liu Yu looked at Qiao Yong, smiled and said.
"I am not satisfied with Lord Liu, I have indeed earned some hard-earned money, and these goods are still very popular in the capital, so if there are such goods behind Lord Liu, even if I send someone to contact me, it will still be the same price, how much I want."
Qiao Yong smiled and said, this matter can't be hidden, it is estimated that everyone will know about it soon, and he has nothing to hide, not to mention the Liu Yu in front of him, Lord Liu, that is not an ordinary person, he has a wide range of contacts in the capital, and if there is anything, he will know it as soon as he asks.
"I also want to get the goods, but they have all gone west, where do I go to get this kind of goods, twenty taels of silver, I want to sell myself."
Liu Yu smiled and said, it's just 1,500 captives, he got 30,000 taels of silver, this deal can be done.
"Lord Liu laughed~"
Qiao Yong smiled and said, there was a slight regret in his heart, it was a pity that such a profitable business could only be done once, he tasted the sweetness, and he wanted to go to the grassland to rob people.
"Robbing people on the grassland~"
Qiao Yong's mind suddenly flashed flexibly, and he was startled by his bold idea.
This has always been the grassland people who came to the customs to loot, robbed grain, salt, iron pots, and women, as long as they could rob everything, they all robbed it cleanly, and never heard of anyone daring to go to the grassland to rob those grassland people.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yongyou couldn't help but shake his head slightly, it was really a bit ridiculous, he would even think of going to the grassland to rob the grassland people.
"Boss Qiao, Boss Qiao, what are you thinking?"
Here Liu Yu saw that Qiao Yong was absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something, and he shook his head slightly, and asked curiously.
"Oh~"
"I'm sorry~I'm sorry~"
Qiao Yong smiled and apologized, and then said: "I was thinking in my mind just now that these two sheep are worth twenty taels of silver each, and I thought that if I went to the grassland to catch them, wouldn't it be a good deal." ”
"It's just that they have always been the only ones who have come to our Central Plains to plunder, but we have never gone to the grassland to plunder, so they also shook their heads slightly, which is really a bit whimsical."
Qiao Yong said self-deprecatingly as he spoke.
"Raiding the grasslands?"
When Liu Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened slightly, and he was a little dumbfounded.
"Yes, since they don't come, we can go to them, a two-legged sheep is twenty taels of silver, and some people will be willing to go to the grassland to try it."
Then Liu Yu slapped his thigh, and the whole person stood up excitedly.
He knows too well the situation of these border troops under his command, don't look at the border army, but in fact, all of them are bitter haha, many people are poor and don't even have to eat, so they come to the barracks to eat, at least there is food in the barracks.
The broken military households said that they were the ones, whether it was the border army or the military households of the guards, all of them were synonymous with the poorest in this era, it was difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, and no one wanted to marry them, because not only did they not have enough to eat, but even the children and grandchildren born were all broken military households, who would marry?
A group of bitter haha, poor to death, so that he can't stand the trilateral general system, drinking soldier blood and eating soldier meat, he can't get a few taels of silver at all, which is why he opened a horse market.
Liu Yu stood up, walked back and forth, and quickly calculated in his mind that he was going to go to the capital soon, and if he wanted to make money from here, he would go south, so it was better to take advantage of here and hurry up to get more.
Twenty taels of silver for a two-legged sheep, let the people below them do it, and it is enough to give them ten taels of silver, and if you get one back, you can earn ten taels of silver, and this trade can be done.
Qiao Yong on the side looked stupid, he was just talking nonsense, this Liu Yu and Lord Liu actually took it seriously, how could this grassland man be so easy to catch?
It's not good that the person didn't catch it, but his own life was sent in.
"Lord Liu, Lord Liu, I'm just talking nonsense like this, don't take it seriously, this has always been only the grassland people who robbed us, how can we rob them."
Qiao Yong said again and again.
"Kou can go, I can also go~"
"They can come and loot us, why can't we rob them?"
Liu Yu is already obsessed with money at this time, and he doesn't care so much at all, as long as he can earn money, he doesn't care so much, he dares to do it in the private horse market, and what else is there that he doesn't dare to do, not to mention, it's the grassland people who are robbing, not to mention.
As for what to say, there are people above him, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, is his fellow countryman, and he appreciates him very much, and Sima Wensheng at the top is even more favored by him.
What's more, Liu Yu has always understood the principle of equal interests, he opened a horse market, and everyone made a profit from it, and the overseer eunuchs sent by Emperor Hongzhi did not take less silver, and here he has already been transparent up and down.
He knows very well that it doesn't matter what you do, the important thing is to be able to bring everyone to make money, so that everyone can have profits, and distribute benefits, so that everything is not important.
The colleagues around him will get along with themselves and support themselves, and the brothers under them will make money, not to mention that everyone is just for the money spent in vain all year round.
"This, Lord Liu, this won't happen, right?"
Qiao Yong said with some concern.
"Don't worry, what can happen, but can you raise the price a little more?"
Liu Yu said very confidently, and thought about discussing the price of the two-legged sheep with Qiao Yong.
"Lord Liu, if you really can, I can add another ten taels of silver to you, thirty taels of silver to you, and collect as much as you want, both male and female."
Liu Yu thought about it and added ten taels of silver, this business, as long as it can be done for a long time, not to mention anything else, if he can earn more than a thousand taels a month, he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, if he can earn a few thousand, then he will really make a lot of money.
"Okay, a word is a certainty~"
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed happily.
Liu Yu is a man of action, he negotiated the conditions with Qiao Yong here, and immediately summoned the eunuchs and generals at all levels in the border town to come to the meeting, and first took out the 30,000 taels of silver last time, and gave everyone one cent of silver according to their position and rank.
Then I also told everyone about the good things I talked about with Qiao Yong, and the price of thirty taels of silver immediately made these people's eyes red.
Where to find such a deal?
There are almost no problems, everyone expressed their willingness to make money with Lord Liu, anyway, they don't need to go out to the grassland to arrest people, what they need to do is to maintain a unified voice and suppress this matter, as for how to go to the grassland to arrest people, naturally there are these border troops below to do it.
As long as there is money to make money, some people do it, and some people have methods, after all, there are always more ways than difficulties, and nothing is a problem in front of silver.
Liu Yu and the others above finished the meeting, and soon passed the news on from level to level, and the defenders here in the entire Datong border town soon knew about it.
……
Above the city pass of Datong, the cold wind is howling, the university is floating in the sky, and the night is shrouded, but there is still a team of people on duty above the city pass to prevent the grassland people from attacking at night.
"Brothers, come and bake the fire~"
Tang Sandao called more than a dozen of his brothers over, and roasted the fire around a pot of charcoal, also preparing to tell the big guy about the above matters.
"Brothers, just now I went to the top for a meeting, and the top here told us the big guy a way to make a fortune, that is, to see if the big guy dares to do it."
Tang San glanced at the dozen or so people under his command, he was a squad leader, he had no rank, in fact, he was almost the same as an ordinary military household, but because he still had two more ancestral sword skills, he became a squad leader.
"Brother Tang, what way can the top give us a fortune?"
When the horse monkey heard this, he immediately couldn't help laughing and said, how can he be a soldier for many years, he has always reaped benefits from above, and he has really never seen any benefits from above, and it is good not to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
"It's just ~"
Lei Gong's face, which was as black as charcoal, also said.
"Brothers, don't believe it, this time there is really a way to get rich."
Tang Sandao smiled and said, in fact, he didn't believe it at first, he knew too well what kind of urine the people above were, but this time it seemed to be true.
"Didn't we fight with the steppe people here some time ago, and we caught a lot of captives at that time, horse monkey, Lei Gongface, one-eyed dragon, a few of you went to clean up the battlefield, and you all captured a prisoner yourself, remember?"
"Remember, of course remember, don't look at those prairie people are very fierce, in fact, that's it, I shook his knife away as soon as I went down with a stick."
When Lei Gong heard this, he immediately smiled and boasted, in fact, the prisoner was injured in his hand, he couldn't hold the knife steadily, and he was shocked by his stick, and now it has become the capital he often brags about.
"Let me tell you, that captive was sold to the capital, how much silver do you guess sold?"
Tang Sandao nodded, and then said deliberately to appetize.
"Sold to the capital? Those who are in power buy it and ask for credit. ”
When the horse monkey heard this, he immediately said.
"I guess I can sell it for a few taels of silver."
The one-eyed dragon man is very tall, with only one eye and a scar on his face, and is a ruthless character who kills enemies very bravely.
"No, they were sold to those factories and workshops in the capital, and all these captives we caught last time were sold to those places, and one captive could be sold for twenty taels of silver."
"This is the way I am to make a fortune, the upper side allows us to go to the grassland to catch these two-legged sheep, as long as we catch one and bring it back, the upper side will give us fifteen taels of silver, and it is to give money on the spot, which is guaranteed by the general system."
Tang Sandao finally told the story and told the matter.
"Twenty taels of silver?"
When the horse monkey heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and then he said: "We caught twenty taels of silver that day." ”
"Fifteen taels of silver each?"
The remaining eye of the one-eyed dragon turned red all of a sudden, fifteen taels of silver, these of them who were soldiers worked here all year round, and they only had a mouthful of food to eat, as for the silver, it had long been deducted from above, and they had not received the silver for a long time.
"Is this reliable?"
Lei Gong licked his lips and swallowed his saliva and said.
"Absolutely reliable~ The above has been repeatedly guaranteed, this is guaranteed by the chief master personally, he has already spoken, as long as he can catch the two-legged sheep on the grassland, fifteen taels of silver, give cash, there is no arrears, if anyone dares to deduct, you can go to him."
Tang Sandao said with great certainty.
"Fifteen taels of silver apiece, catching a few is enough for us to be chic I don't know how long."
The Cyclops' remaining eye was shining.
"What do you say, if you want to do this business, let's go to the grassland together, and the top side also said that as long as you dare to go, you can apply for war horses, bows and arrows, armor, these are not a problem."
Tang Sandao looked at everyone and said, he could see that the three people of Ma Monkey, One-Eyed Dragon, and Lei Gongmian were bold, as long as they gave money, they didn't dare to do anything, as for the others, they were less timid, so they still had to talk about it.
", why don't you do it, support the bold and starve the cowardly, fifteen taels of silver each, I have never encountered such a good deal."
The one-eyed dragon was the first to speak, he was already tall, the kind that was not afraid of heaven and earth.
"Count me in, I've been poor all my life, and it's rare to have a chance."
The horse monkey also said.
"Count me as one, anyway, it's a cheap life, dying on this city wall is also death, dying on the grassland is also death, if you can come back alive, go back to the Red Mansion to find a few sisters chic, chic."
Lei Gong said with a slightly excited face.
"Is there anyone else?"
"Everyone think about it, we are all military households, the most down-and-out military households, we have more than a dozen brothers, it seems that only the three of you, Third Brother Qin, Li Er, and Wang Shugen, have married daughters-in-law, and the three of you have only married daughters-in-law after changing relatives."
"Is it true that our big guys will fight singles for the rest of our lives, and will we be poor for the rest of our lives?"
"In the past, there was no chance, and we had no choice, so we had to accept our fate, but now, there is no chance to have a chance, everyone think about it, a two-legged sheep is fifteen taels of silver, I don't know how many there are on this grassland, both men and women, even children can be regarded as half price."
"And everyone also knows that the little prince went west with his army, and what does it mean, it means that there is nothing decent on the steppe at all."
"We can completely pretend to be grassland people, and when the time comes, we don't need to fight hard, prepare some sweat pills or something, find an opportunity, and easily get some people back to earn this silver."
"It's going to be the New Year soon, don't you want to have a good New Year?"
Tang Sandao looked at the other silent people, of course he knew that these people were afraid, and it took courage to go to the grassland to rob people.
"Brother Tang, count me in, do it, damn it, people die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, I have had enough days like this."
Soon, someone said fiercely, obviously also moved.
