Liu Laosi is now not only the commander of Tamluo County, but also the captain of the seventh grade of the Eastern Expeditionary Water Division. After deducting more than 8,000 yuan of deed money, the remaining more than 265,000 yuan is now in his hands.

"I can really buy, buy, buy, I don't need to report to Xue Su Ershuai, I don't need to report to Cheng Dashuai?"

"You were ordered by them to be in charge of all military affairs here, to take care of prisoners, to build a military port, to purchase grain, grass and baggage, and that was your job." Li Xiao smiled slightly.

Liu Jun nodded, his eyes were red, like rabbit eyes. "That's right, this is my job, so buy it!"

In fact, not only women naturally like to buy, buy, buy

More than 100 boats came from Chishanpu with Li Xiao, loaded with all kinds of materials and commodities, all kinds of grain, rice, flour and meat, and even many fresh vegetables, lively chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep.

Even the Li family's specialty Li Ji noodles are available, and there are dried meat floss.

There are also a few boats, even loaded with many young ladies, these women are to the labor army condolences, of course, this is a more euphemistic statement, in fact, it is a group of prostitutes from the Central Plains, including more high-level kabuki dancers, there are also relatively low-grade prostitutes, etc.

Far from home, on the front lines of a foreign land, prostitutes were as popular among the sergeants as good wine.

Carrying their heads and working hard in front of the army, the pressure is high, and the sergeants are naturally willing to enjoy more indulgence, but the Tang army is strictly disciplined, and they don't dare to mess around.

And if a group of businessmen come to open a green building, it will be very popular with everyone, just like the Internet café at the entrance of the school.

Liu Jun waved his hand and shouted to buy.

So the guys who had just rushed up and bought up the more than 10,000 captives in Liu Jun's hands swarmed up again, and they each took out a list, all of which were all kinds of commodities and materials on their ship.

The price list is also attached to the back.

In the name of good quality and low price.

However, the price is not close to the people, but they also have their own reasons, after all, this is not the Central Plains, and it is risky to come across the ocean. Their prices are already several times lower than the prices of maritime merchants in the past.

"The price of goods is generally several percent more expensive than Dengzhou Port." Liu Jun was a little dazzled and said unhappily.

"General Liu, this can't be compared like this. Even the prices in Dengzhou are different from those in Chang'an. The price of Chang'an is a few percent higher than that of Dengzhou, and Yangzhou is a few points cheaper than that of Dengzhou, after all, the place is different, this is the front line, or in the east of the sea. ”

"Corn is five hundred wen per stone, wheat is seven hundred and five per stone, and rice is one stone and one thousand, which is too expensive." Liu Jun didn't know how to bargain at all, but he still felt expensive. "I remember that when I set off from Chang'an at the beginning of the year, the rice was only thirty yuan?"

"General, last year's rice in Chang'an was only 20 yuan, and the price of rice in Dengzhou Port was only 15 or 6 yuan, but you also know that this summer's drought has caused a thousand miles of red land in the south of the Guanlong River and Shuoshan, and the price of grain is naturally soaring. You see, the price of rice in Dengzhou is 70 rice buckets, and we shipped it here, only 100 buckets of rice, which is really not expensive. ”

"Not expensive?"

"It's not expensive."

Li Xiao kicked Liu Jun, "People work so hard to transport grain to support the front reinforcements, don't be demanding." In the current situation, it is really not expensive to fight rice for 100 dollars. ”

"Oh, in that case, then buy it, at this price, I will buy all the food you brought."

Selling grain, in fact, is not a very profitable business, the ancients often said that a hundred miles do not sell wages, thousands of miles do not sell rice. It means that if it is more than 100 miles, then it is not cost-effective to sell firewood to buy, and if it is more than 100 miles, no one wants to sell rice.

Due to the inconvenience of transportation in this era, the transportation cost of grain is very high, and the farther it goes, the higher the transportation cost.

I think that when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he ordered the people of the world to transport grain to Liaodong, and some people in some places who were a little farther away arrived at the front line of Liaodong with one stone of grain, and seven stones of grain needed to be consumed along the way.

That's a pretty scary attrition figure.

Even if grain is transported from Jianghuai to Chang'an, the consumption is at least two to three times.

This is still the case when several canals were dug in the Sui Dynasty, so that the canals from Jianghuai to Chang'an were basically connected.

Li Xiao reminded those people on the side, "Dengzhou to Tamna, but it is far more convenient than Dengzhou to Chang'an, the distance is also close, the distance is shorter, it can be reached in three days and nights, all the way by sea, unless it really encounters a storm, there will be no risk of loss." One way back, seven days is feasible, but you can earn 30% of the profit, which is already a huge profit. If it weren't for the fact that this was a righteous act of the former reinforcements, the court would not have let you make so much money. ”

Everyone laughed.

Of course, Li Xiao knew very well that the profits from these people's grain transportation were very high, but this was not an ordinary business transaction after all. The imperial court's own ability to supply grain and grass was not enough, and these private merchants needed to help replenish it. If there is not enough profit, who wants to come.

To put it simply, if the profit is not enough, then everyone will not bring grain, they will bring wine and other money-making goods.

This time, more than 100 boats, each of which brought some grain, was also Li Xiao's requirement for them before he set off in Chishanpu, and each boat must carry a certain amount of grain.

The total amount of grain transported by each family is more than 10,000 stones.

There are millet, wheat and rice, as well as some more expensive fine grains, such as the Li family's noodles, such as the flour of the Changsun family, such as the glutinous rice flour of the Cheng family, and all kinds of wine shipped by many families.

These are more expensive, and they are no longer urgently needed military funds, but are considered high-end consumer goods, and the quantity is not so much.

"I bought them all." Liu Jun waved his hand proudly. More than 10,000 stone grains were eaten.

More than 10,000 stone of grain, plus those wine and fine grains, etc., totaled more than 13,000 yuan, including many vegetables, poultry and livestock that were transported with the ship.

With so much food, meat and vegetables, it can greatly surprise Xue Su Ershuai, Liu Jun is a little proud in his heart, this is a great achievement.

When they reached a deal agreement, Li Xiao stood up again with a smile.

"Everyone, remember to pay the deed money."

5% of the deed money, the seller pays 3/100, and the buyer pays 2/100. There are more than 13,000 guan, and each merchant has to pay about 400 guan in total, and Liu Jun also has to pay more than 260 guan.

Li Xiao smiled and accepted nearly 700 yuan.

"I think you're the most proud one, sitting on the ground and collecting money is more fierce than robbery." Liu Jun was impressed.

"What do you say, I'm collecting the deed money, besides, take it from the people, use it for the people."

Liu Jun rolled his eyes, your Andong strategy and pacification envoy Yamen now don't even have an official office, and there is no one in the Wuzhen Prefecture Assassin's Mansion, what do you want so much money for?
