Chapter 299: Make a small profit
"Gongsun Taishou doesn't have to doubt it, all transactions can be paid on delivery, and if you are not satisfied, you can return it on the spot, no deposit or anything." Ye Chen said to Gongsun Chan with a smile.
Gongsun Chan said in disbelief: "The price is so low? And the quality is reliable, is there really such a good thing? ”
"Haha, Gongsun Taishou doesn't have to doubt it, it's just that you can only buy about 3,000 sets in the early stage, and there's no way for me to get you more, but if you need it, it's no problem in the later stage."
5,000 soldiers? This is a big market, besides, weapons and equipment, horses, as long as there is a war, then the consumption will be huge, how can Ye Chen give up such a large market.
But Ye Chen didn't sell him so much at one time, because he was afraid that Gongsun Chan would ruin his plan by forming an army too early, but he was not afraid that Gongsun Chan would threaten him, at least not for a long time.
But if Gongsun Chan formed an army early, Liu Yu would inevitably lose control of him, and then he was very likely to provoke the Xiongnu or Wuhuan in the north, before Ye Chen's city was built, Ye Chen didn't want to have a big war with the Xiongnu, so he wanted this market, and he couldn't let Gongsun Chan provoke them, so he sold him some equipment and let him form an army later.
As for the origin of the weapons and equipment, Ye Chen is not afraid of others checking now, because the imperial court has given him the power to manufacture and equip armed forces by himself, these are the powers given by the imperial court.
And what Ye Chen sold to Gongsun Zan was ordinary equipment, and the price was very low, which was lower than Dong Zhuolai, after all, Dong Zhuo needed to travel thousands of miles to send him over, and Liaodong and Liaoxi, the goods only needed to arrive in two or three days.
Gongsun Chan will be suspicious, but since the cash on delivery, if he is not satisfied at that time, Gongsun Chan will make up his mind and will not give Ye Chen face, and will return the goods anyway.
And will Ye Chen give him substandard weapons and equipment? Obviously not, at least it is cheaper than the standard equipment of the imperial court, and if it is sold to them cheaply, they will not think about making it themselves, if they don't make it themselves, they will have to find him next time they need it.
Ye Chen didn't expect to make a deal, now the trade of weapons and equipment has become a major economic growth point for him, not only sold to Dong Zhuo, since trading slaves with the Wuhuan people, Ye Chen also sold weapons and equipment to the grassland, and really made a lot of money.
After Ye Chen returned, he prepared the goods and immediately sent Gongsun Zhan a thousand sets of equipment and a thousand high-quality horses.
Gongsun Chan saw the goods, shouted good things, and received them very happily.
"Why is it only a thousand sets, but the adults of your family told me, give me three thousand sets." Gongsun Chan grabbed the steward who delivered the goods and said excitedly.
"Gongsun Taishou, our family is afraid that you don't want it, so I'll send a thousand sets first, if you need it, I'll prepare it for you when you go back, and I'll send it to you in ten days."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and send it to me, it's best to send more over, money is not a problem, it's not a problem." Gongsun Chan was overjoyed when he heard this, and the weapons and equipment that gave him the most headache were solved.
As for the money, Gongsun Chan did not lose a point, anyway, in addition to the treasury of his own county, Liu Yu would also help him, the most important thing is that he needs to be equipped immediately, especially war horses, and the cavalry training cycle is too long.
And he looked at the goods, the weapons and equipment were better than the imperial court system, and the most important thing was the horses, not only the price was much lower, but they were all high-quality horses, which they had nowhere to buy if they wanted to.
Gongsun Zan was still afraid that Ye Chen would not give him the goods, so he forced the people who gave the money to come back, and urged them to hurry on the road, as if he was afraid that Ye Chen would regret it if it was too late.
At first, Ye Chen only gave 1,000 sets but was afraid that Gongsun Zhan would not have enough money, and he was embarrassed to ask for it when the time came, so he didn't give it to him all at once, so even if the other party had no money, he would have to make up for it next time, otherwise he wouldn't want to buy it.
After receiving the news, Ye Chen was very happy, after all, it was an objective income, and it could help him train blacksmiths.
"It seems that this Liu Yu is not ordinary rich." Ye Chen had long known that Liu Yu had found a lot of great families in Youzhou, just to let them support him, but Ye Chen didn't expect them to be so supportive.
The family is a member of the Han family, and his personal prestige is high, so it is different to do things, but Ye Chen is also secretly happy.
Give Gongsun Zhan so much money, then what Liu Yu said before about giving food to the Xiongnu and Wuhuan is not an empty word.
When Liu Yu sent the grain, it was not difficult for Ye Chen to get black at all, even if Liu Yu's people personally transported it, Ye Chen would have a way to make it all black.
In fact, it's also simple, don't let others contact the Wuhuan people, and directly tell the Wuhuan people that it was sold to them, anyway, the trade volume between the two sides has always been very large, and the Wuhuan people will not doubt it at all, even if they are suspicious, they don't have to honestly trade with Ye Chen.
After letting people pull to Wuhuan, Ye Chen asked the Wuhuan people to give Ye Chen other things later, so that the things were completely dark.
This is indeed the case, and later Liu Yu sent people to transport a large amount of grain over, originally Liu Yu was not at ease, and asked their people to transport it by themselves, and they transported it by themselves, but they did not have a translator, and they could not find important people.
So Ye Chen sent someone to bring them to meet the people who often received goods from the Ye family, and the three parties still chatted "happily" in the tent for a long time, but the people sent by Ye Chen completely translated indiscriminately when translating.
Tell the Wuhuan people that this is sold to them, and tell the people sent by Liu Yu that the Wuhuan people have got food and say that they will never invade the south, he said nonsense in the middle, and the three parties were very satisfied and very happy, and finally celebrated together.
Liu Yu would not know that the grain he gave to the Wuhuan people finally became Ye Chen's bargaining chip, and the Wuhuan people were very happy, because Ye Chen rarely sold them grain in large quantities like this, with these grains, their Wuhuan own difficulties were all solved, and some of them could be sold to the Xiongnu and Xianbei to make money, after all, the Wuhuan people still have a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, and not all of them eat grain, only when the cattle and sheep are not enough.
Ye Chen, who had made a lot of money, was naturally very happy, but he didn't have time to pay attention to these things now, and now he was in Yuxian County, arranging the construction of a new senior school.
The original high-level school was built in the city, which was convenient for management and security, but now the number of personnel has increased a lot, and the space in the city is a little cramped.
There are two great gods in the senior academy, and they are very popular, especially Zheng Xuan, some of his disciples also rushed after hearing the news, plus Ye Chen asked a few of the graduates of the senior academy every year to continue their studies and study various scientific knowledge in the academy.
And in the future, more and more students will be sent from the junior school every year, and it is also very important that as Ye Chen collects a large number of classics from all sides, the original place where the books are stored is very chaotic and crowded, and it is inconvenient for a bunch of people to check the classics, so Ye Chen wants to build a large library.
In fact, Ye Chen just wanted to set aside a large area outside the city to build a senior school, saying that it was a senior school, but Ye Chen used the university of later generations as a reference.
This will be a far-reaching school, Ye Chen must plan well, there are a large number of researchers here, and new knowledge is coming out every day, and it will definitely have a far-reaching impact in history in the future.
