"Brother Tai, you won't go to this Zheng family set next time, right?"

"How do you go, in the past, you could ship and buy goods here, and you can replenish supplies, people and livestock can still be treated here if they are sick, and everyone has a place to eat, drink and have fun, what is there now, just the coarse grain cake that this livestock can't eat, this only knows the beef and horse meat with salt?"

Zhu Da doesn't have to go out of his way to look for it, he can talk directly to the people who live in the same yard, if it is normal, the caravan merchants who go south and north will think that Zhu Da's half-sized son is too unreliable, but the head hanging on the cart will make people feel enough awe, and after saying a few words, they will know that they are knowledgeable businessmen, then they can continue to talk.

This time the Mongolian horse team entered the Kou, it did catch everyone off guard, the caravan from the south to the north came to Zhengjiaji helplessly, they complained and complained, in fact, there was still a little luck in their hearts, thanks to the fact that there were still a group of people here to support the reception, although compared to the former prosperous commercial port, it was really different.

Hearing the other party's description, Zhu Da paid a little more attention to this group of people who occupied Zhengjiaji, how did the beef and horse meat come from, it was nothing more than the death and injury of the Mongolian horse team when they entered the Kou, and the salt of pickled beef and horse meat came from the Dachuan nine times out of ten, and it can be regarded as a caring person who can integrate these resources.

"Brother, this salted beef and horse meat is not as good as salted eggs, that nourishing, eating is also ironed, and it can be sold for money on the grassland."

"It's not, this Tartar horse team has ruined everything, where to buy it now, when I go back this time, I have to let the family take care of these things, salted eggs are very good to sell on the Tartar side."

"The younger brother has prepared some salted eggs here, the younger brother is from the county to do business, trying to get in and out quickly, I don't know if the eldest brother wants to buy it."

After a few sentences, the businessman in the same courtyard was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Zhu Da and said: "Little brother, you are really an old trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you really know how to do this business, make a price!" ”

Zhu Da smiled and gave the price, which was twice as expensive as before this catastrophe, and the merchant did not bargain, and bought it directly, the price of salted eggs was not high, and the caravan was out of the house, leaving a lot of room for eating and drinking, not to mention that Zheng Jiaji's relay was destroyed, and it was more difficult to supplement the supplies, especially the agreed supplies, than before.

After trading the salted eggs, the merchant pointed to the cloth and other miscellaneous goods on the cart and said, "You have lifted all these tarpaulins for all these prices, and you must be trying to attract business." ”

If you want to continue to rush to the merchants, the tarpaulin will definitely always be covered on it, and after Zhu Da entered the courtyard, he opened the tarpaulin and showed the goods inside to others.

"Little brother, look at how sophisticated you were in business just now, why are you so reckless at this time, the market price of this dyed cotton cloth is only 400 Wen, and then go north, even if you reach the side wall, it is only 600 Wen, you actually shout for one or two, you look at how many cotton cloths are on my fleet, these goods on Kaifeng, a horse is less than 300 Wen, little brother, do business to be real, you don't do this for a long time." The merchant said a few words with a straight face, but Zhu Da's face did not change, and he only listened with a smile over there.

After the merchant finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Da's expression, sighed again and said: "It's not easy for you to come out to do business at a young age, this is a mess, in this way, I will collect your cloth for three hundred and fifty yuan, and other groceries will be calculated according to the market price. “

Zhou Qingyun was not by Zhu Da's side, and Zhu Da came out to talk about Li He and Zhang Jinbei, when they were listening, the faces of the two people kept changing, the salted eggs almost didn't cost money, which tripled and sold, and a cotton cloth was less than 100 Wen, which was more than three times, this is doing business, it is obviously fishing for gold in the river, after the two of them heard the merchant quote the price, they subconsciously looked at Zhu Da, and said in their hearts, you promise to come down, this is too much.

The merchant had been observing the expressions of Zhu Da and his companions, and when he saw Li He and Zhang Jinbei's expectant and surprised expressions, he felt more confident in his heart, but he made an expression on his face that I am willing to owe benefits only if I fancy you.

Zhu Da nodded with a smile, and said leisurely: "This time the Tartars called, no one knows if they will come next, but I am afraid that the caravans outside the province will not dare to come again for a month or two, and the Tartars dare to come in, and the Datong border army will not be able to give up, I am afraid that the trade market here will also stop, these groceries are used daily, if you don't sell them for a day, the price will rise, not to mention that it will stop for a few months, this reason can be understood by the younger brother, other people are so much smarter than the younger brother, and they must be able to figure it out, I sell it to the elder brother to sell it more expensive, But the elder brother sold to the Tartar or the border generals at the pass, the sale must be more expensive, and the money must be more, I think I fell in love with the elder brother, so I want to do this business with the elder brother, send a fortune, if the elder brother is unwilling, now there are seven or eight caravans parked here, and the younger brother will ask other families. “

After finishing speaking, Zhu Da turned his head and left, Li He and Zhang Jinbei beside him were stunned for a moment before they followed, thinking to themselves, shouldn't this business be done? The one in front of him is still familiar, if other strangers hear Zhu Da Lion's big mouth shouting, will the business be even more impossible.

Seeing that Zhu Da turned around and left without hesitation, and walked very resolutely, he couldn't see the intention of turning back, and the people who lived here had to go out to have a look, how could this merchant not know that there were other caravans living in the yard outside the fence, and naturally knew that those caravans were not stupid.

"Little brother, little brother, I'm really afraid of you, you are so anxious, how can you do business, can't you still tolerate bargaining, what you said is right, it's my brother I didn't think it through just now, but one or two pieces of silver are too hard, how about eight hundred Wen?"

Zhu Da turned around with a smile, what was really shocked was Li He on the side, Zhang Jinbei was even more exaggerated, and his mouth was so big, but this expression was seen by the businessman, but it became a ridicule of his own cleverness, so he had to smile bitterly in his heart, when he didn't see it.

"Brother, little brother, the purchase price here is not cheap, look at the elder brother, you fall in love, let twenty wen, but you have to settle the bill with gold and silver, and there can be no bad money." Juda replied with a grin.

The merchant was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Zhu Da with a smile and said: "Seeing that you are less than eighteen years old, how can this business experience be the same as that of an old courtier in his thirties and forties, you have a fine plan, how about nine hundred wen?" “

One tael of silver for one thousand wen, this is the market set by the government, but in fact, eight hundred to seven hundred wen can be exchanged for one or two silver, this price difference seems to be a loophole, but there is a difference between money and money, there is a difference between official money and private money, this official money is divided into internal and external, private and divided into east and west and private people.

The quality of the internal production is the best, but it is basically not circulated outside the palace, it is nothing more than the reward of the ceremonial festival, the quality of the external manufacturing is very poor, the inside is often mixed with various colors of base metals, and even has the situation of falling down and breaking a few pieces, and the private manufacturing is to say that the folk coinage, although this is the sin of killing the head, but there is no way to prohibit it, among them, the private production is the kind of shoddy goods, and the western manufacturing is to say that the copper coins of the provinces outside Nanzhi and Fujian are privately minted, and the southern and Fujian are made in the east, the quality of the west is not bad, but the quality of the east is the best, Because here is the collusion between the sea lord and the southeast Haoqiang, the copper from the East and the South Seas was transported, and the copper coins made by craftsmen were found seriously.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, the highest value is the copper coin made in the east, anti-wear, the word pattern is clear, the material is full, the Yongle Tongbao made in the east can be exchanged for one or two silver, and some of the copper coins made by the people, 1,200 Wen have to bargain.

What's more, the caravans that go to the grassland and the Mongolian market basically do not accept copper coins, either gold and silver, or barter, no one will use copper coins, and Zhu Da's last two sentences are to snuff out the last trace of temptation of the other party, they are all old people in the mall, and no one wants to fool anyone.

In the end, the two sides finalized the price of 950 Wen, settled the bill in cash, Zhu Da shouted to the hired workers to help, Li He counted the accounts next to him, he desperately suppressed his emotions, don't be too out of shape, but Zhang Jinbei's cultivation is a little worse, and he is always there dumbfounded.

It has increased tenfold, I am afraid it has increased more than tenfold, and the business can do this, this is not business at all, this is turning stones into gold, Zhang Jinbei looked at Zhu Da as if he was looking at a ghost.

The business made is not only cotton cloth, but also other Ming goods suitable for the grassland, since Zhu Da has broken the trick, the merchant is not ambiguous, and took out the silver money to buy everything he can buy.

"Master, we sold him tenfold, why does this person still have a smile on his face." Zhang Jinbei finally couldn't help it, and asked in the air.

"Because he has to make money, there will be at least a three-month gap between the trading of Daming and Tartar, and it will be winter soon, and the price will rise in winter, for him, having goods in hand is the most important thing, the more goods he makes, the more he buys, he still earns, if he doesn't buy it, he doesn't have to earn, for you, what do you think." Zhu Da explained a few words with a smile, and Zhang Jinbei suddenly realized.

After the merchant moved all the goods back, he stared at the leather goods on the other carts, and the expression on his face was undisguised covetous, and in the end he clapped his hands in frustration and said: "This time I am going north, and the silver in my hand is not enough, what a pity, what a pity." ”

After sighing, the businessman glanced at the head hanging next to the big car, his face was somewhat stiff, but he quickly adjusted, and his eyes looked at Zhu Da was completely the attitude of the same generation, and he hugged his fists and said: "Little brother is such a wrist, in the future, there will be your name in the shopping malls of Datong and Shanxi, the old brother was a little sluggish, please don't be surprised, my surname is Wei Ming Daibei, I was born in the Wei family in Pingyao, please ask my brother what to call it?" “1.
