With forty-six silver coins in his pocket, Bard immediately became the center of attention in the bazaar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA large group of Han merchants took the initiative to surround it, and Bard thought he was coming to grab his newly bought treasure knife.

The eyes of the Han merchants lit up one by one.

Forty-six silver coins, that's ninety-two coins.

It's just a small bazaar, and all the guys from the shops are here, and even some merchants who are in the gang of orders. They are small, and they earn a little hard-earned money. A Shanyi with ninety-two yuan of money is a fat sheep in their eyes. Especially this fat sheep has just bought a used horizontal knife with ten times the price of a horizontal knife in Liuqiu City, this sheep is really a fool with a lot of money.

"This officer, I have better iron tools here. There are kitchen knives, scissors, guillotines, wood knives, short knives, all kinds. And it's all made of good steel, and it's cheap. A businessman even shouted out to the official.

The peers next to him secretly scolded this person in their hearts for being shameless, but they also sold more enthusiastically.

Someone saw Bud barefoot, so he tried his best to sell the shoes.

"I said don't bother with that, you're new here, don't you see that the Shanyi here are all barefoot and don't wear shoes, you sell shoes to them, it's better to sell combs to monks." A businessman laughed.

Another person squeezed over, "This official, buy a horse, our horse is a first-class iron horse, known as an iron hoof horse, can travel five hundred miles a day, and has the best endurance." ”

Bard saw that the horse brought by the Han merchant was indeed very tall.

"How much?" He gestured as he counted the money.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's a first-class horse, it's not an ordinary horse, it's only fifty strokes a horse." The merchant hurriedly made an offer.

When the merchants next to him heard this, they all had smiles on their faces. This price is already very high, even if this is not an ordinary horse, but this horse is not up to the level of a war horse. Now that the Tang Dynasty has conquered the Turks, the Khitan, Tuyuhun and others have also surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty is not short of horses at all. The Hetao and Longyou are horse breeding land, coupled with cheap imports from the grassland and other places, so that the price of cattle and horses in the Central Plains is constantly falling.

Nowadays, a sturdy horse can be bought in fifteen times, and even one in ten times on the borderlands. Even if it is a horse that can be called a war horse, as long as it is an untrained horse, then it is only about twenty times. Considering that it is more laborious to transport it to the island, then this horse is about twenty-five times at most.

This horse merchant opened his mouth fifty times, which is double the price.

Bard listened to the interpreter's offer and was a little moved. For him, of course, that piece of gold is not a worthless thing, it is also an important property for him, but gold is gold, and it is dead. If it can be replaced by a sharp sword and a majestic horse, he thinks it is still very cost-effective.

"It's too expensive." Bud wasn't in a hurry to pay for it.

Although he didn't know much about the price of horses, he could know that the price of this horse dealer had obviously risen by quietly watching the looks of the people on the side.

"Forty-eight times."

Bard still shook his head.

The horse merchant really wanted to make this money, and kept cutting the price, but Bud kept shaking his head.

"Thirty thousand."

A voice sounded next to him, but it was Li Chao, Fan Lubing and others who came over.

Li Chao smiled and said to the horse, "The normal price of your horse should be twenty-five yuan, and there is already a lot of profit, now I will help you set a price, thirty yuan, how about it?" ”

"This is the king of Yue, this is the new county magistrate of Liuqiu County, and this is the Marquis of Vietnam."

Ke Shan said to the horse merchants.

Ma Shang didn't know Li Chao, nor did he know Zhang Zhongjian, but who didn't know Ke Shan. In the past, Ke Shan was the highest person on this Liuqiu Island, and he was stationed at Liuqiu Fort with 900 families, and everyone said that Ke Shan was the uncle of King Yue.

"The little one meets the King of Yue, the Marquis of Vietnam, and the Fan Envoy."

"How about this horse for thirty times?"

"Everything is up to King Yue."

The interpreter then told Bard that the horse was thirty times.

Bud heard that so much money had dropped at once, and he also knew that it was the reason why these people had just arrived, and he had just seen these people riding big horses and coming with a team, and he also knew that the identities of these people must not be simple.

"This is His Royal Highness the King of Yue of the Great Tang Dynasty, and he is also the master of Liuqiu City." Introduction to Interpretation.

Bard took the name and nodded.

Thirty pieces of silver, fifteen pieces of silver. Bard now remembered the exchange ratio of the coin, and carefully counted fifteen silver coins, then counted them again before handing them to the horse merchant.

The horse merchant smiled and handed the horse to Bud, and then a tax collector next to him smiled at him, so he had to honestly go over to fill out the tax form and pay the tax, and paid the tax of 3,000 yuan with some pain, and he directly took out the three treasure money.

Li Chao chatted with Bard for a few words, and asked how far away the village they lived in was and what his name was.

He took a short sword from himself and handed it over, "First meeting, this is a small gift, I hope to accept it." ”

Li Chao's short sword is inlaid with gold and jade, and you can see that it is expensive at a glance, especially this is a sword made of Uzi steel ingots, although it is short, it is sharp and valuable.

Bud hesitated for a moment, but took it.

"In the future, we will be neighbors, welcome to trade, if you need anything, you can also come to us."

Li Chao didn't keep him longer, and it was necessary to show friendship with the Shanyi. From the perspective of management, this kind of soft means is more effective, Li Chao is backed by the Central Plains, and can transport a steady stream of Han immigrants to come, and his power will become stronger and stronger in the future, and there is no need to worry too much about Shanyi.

Forcibly conquered by force, and slowly integrated, Li Chao felt that the latter was better.

"Walking on the ice, turning around, what do you think?"

"The Shanyi are very simple, and they know that fair trade is not exactly uncivilized barbarians."

"Yes, they are not all Ru Mao drinking blood, we will be fair with them, and we will have a better situation in the future. But today, we have also seen that many businessmen still do not treat them fairly, and the transaction is also fraudulent. That piece of gold is at least worth more than 100 yuan, but the merchant only gave 10 gold, and that person is still my partner from Li Ji Qianzhuang. ”

"The horse merchant is too, even though the market price is twenty-five yuan, he wants to buy fifty yuan."

"These people are just messing around, and it's going to undermine our integrity. I hope that you can take the rectification of the market as the first thing to grasp, and it is very important for us to establish a good relationship with Shanyi. I don't want this place to end up pitting two peoples, with bloodshed and conflict, and that doesn't benefit anyone. ”

"Remember, we are civilized people, and we don't have to be barbaric."

Li Chao turned his head and said to Ke Shan, "I will stay here for a while, but it won't be for long." I'd like to have a meeting with the tribal leaders here before I leave. You send people to contact the ministries, send them some gifts, convey my invitation, invite them to the assembly. ”
