Chapter 22: Coins and Shops
When André Conte woke up in a daze with sore skin from the sun, he heard the Greek Uriels talking.
André Conte, as a new businessman who is often around the world, is of course fluent in Greek.
"Two thousand sheepskins, and a thousand cowhides; Barley 3,900 mati (Eastern Roman mati means many units. At the same time, different Modi also have different measurements, this Modi is about 12.8 kilograms of grain, about one-eighth of the stone), 100 Turkish blankets, 50 barrels of olive oil, 50 barrels of wine, and two cabins of corned beef. There are also more than 1,000 gold coins in Heperon. There are also a lot of coarse gold objects made by the Crimean Tatars separately. ”
Urels, who was counting the goods, sang the goods to Qin Cang one by one. Qin Cang's Greek is not good. After studying with Qiao Su for two months, I can barely say what I need in my daily life. But this did not prevent Qin Cang from nodding happily again and again.
2,000 sheepskins and 1,000 cowhides were bought from the bastard Cossacks on the Zaporozhye side, and the quality was guaranteed; The barley is nearly 4,000 mats, that is, about 4,000 and 5,000 stone of barley, which will greatly alleviate the food shortage in the territory! As for whether he can survive until October when the wheat planted is harvested, it depends on whether Qin Cang can find a new opportunity; The Turkish blanket is also relatively valuable, and if you save it and sell it, Qin Cang is not ready to distribute it for free, after all, Shengmi Endou Mi hate! Olive oil and wine can be distributed as part of the spoils, as well as corned beef. In addition, the gold objects made by the Tatars were to be kept. As for the gold coins, of course, they were stored in the cellar after they were divided.
"And more than 300 Slavs, more than 200...... Tatars. There were also more than seven hundred Italian slaves, most of them from Lombardy, and more than seventy Greeks and thirty Spaniards captive. Sicilian Rider ...... All dead ......."
It's a bit of a hassle......
It's not that I don't know, this calculation immediately added more than 1,400 people! With such a large amount, what should Qin Cang do?
For Qin Cang, the first brother, of course, what is there is to discuss with Qin Chuan and Qiao Su.
"Uncle, look here, watching that Greek manage the captives. Finances are deposited in my cellar first. In addition, don't let Qiao Cheng snatch people from us! "Qin Cang entrusted Qin Chuan.
Of course, Qin Chuan knew what Qin Cang meant. Qiao Cheng's mind is well known, Qiao Antai is wavering, and now the Qin family is about to take advantage of this to develop rapidly. These slaves must not be thrown into Chizhou Bay to bathe casually. But how to arrange them? Qin Cang was also thinking about it.
Qin Cangxian arranged for people to collect the spoils of war in an orderly manner and escort the slaves, while he and Qiao Su disappeared at the corner of the street. And Baoyin, who saw this scene, was of course ready to chase after and cut people!
But then the little princess Baoyin lowered her head by mistake.
Qiao Su is more beautiful than Bao Yin. Both the Tatar women and the Han tribe thought so. There is no doubt that the delicate skin of a Han woman is enough to blow Baoyin out of three streets, and Qiao Su's delicate face and unrivaled banner have convinced a group of Tatar women.
In a way, Bao Yin is also a very realistic Tatar woman. Now that she's lost her biggest advantage, she's going to start moving in right away. Just like this time, in order to get a good impression, Bao Yin killed two Greeks with his own hands. Although the Greeks were weak chickens, and Bao Yin's hands were a little shaky with fear, she tried to do it. But Qin Cang didn't see it.
A woman is a very peculiar creature. Sometimes they are naïve, and sometimes they suddenly become realistic.
Bao Yin knew why Qin Cang was looking for Qiao Su. Which woman is more beautiful, has more status than her, and most importantly, this woman is very intelligent. Even Bao Yin had to admit that her mind was like the wise imam of the tribe.
Turning around, Bao Yin stood by the dock, scolding the passing captives. Especially the Spaniards who are like leprosy dogs. The usual rambling of these guys is really speechless.
Qin Cang and Qiao Su sat down.
"What's the matter with the slaves?" Qiao Su asked knowingly.
Qin Cang had a headache. Qiao Su is going to take something out of his hand?
Qiao Su closed her eyes angrily, and she also straightened up her bumpy figure, revealing her side face to Qin Cang.
It would be a lie to say that you are not impressed. Seeing that everyone had their faces exposed, Qin Cang leaned out after deceiving himself for a while.
Then they kissed each other........ In the palm of your hand?
Qiao Su's playful expression was telling Qin Cang that he had been tricked again.
"The slave asks you, what should the slave do if he wants to buy something?" Qiao Su asked Qin Cang.
Of course, Qin Cang said: "Take the money and find a shop!" ”
Qiao Su then asked Qin Cang: "Is there money in Chizhou?" And what about shops? ”
This question immediately stopped Qin Cang.
There is almost no currency in Chiju at the moment, because everyone is still living like a commune. Grain and cloth were distributed. But if Chizhou wants to rise, sooner or later it will have to embark on the path of commerce, which is almost irreversible. If you want to go into business, you have to have money and gold coins. And the shops don't either. Even Qiao Bao's blacksmith shop can be regarded as serving the production team for free. At present, we don't see anything because everyone is trying to survive together, but what about the future?
According to current trends, the October harvest will almost certainly be the time of the collapse of public life.
What should I do?
"So. The way you saved things is pretty right! Qiao Su snapped his fingers and said, "The slave is going to gather the miscellaneous items and build a shop in the territory that sells all kinds of things." Of course, Qiao Bao's side will also change in the future. And then we have to have enough money......"
"What about the coins? Give them out? Qin Cang's mind was confused.
This is the difficulty of the rise of a poor and white territory. It's almost like it's happening behind closed doors.
"Of course you can't give it for nothing." Qiao Su said funny.
"Huh?"
Qiao Su sighed faintly and said, "What's the point of how much money you send?" What is the actual significance of gold, silver, and copper? It's better to use cloth as currency. ”
"But the cloth isn't good, is it?" Qin Cang scratched his head and said while thinking.
Suddenly, Qin Cang stared at Qiao Su.
She must have a way not to let not ask herself.
Facing Qin Cang's gaze, Qiao Su said lightly: "Do you remember that we used it for the work of dividing the fields after the autumn?" ”
Labor! It was originally used to divide the fields after the autumn, but now it seems that it has a place to use??
