Chapter 170: Making a Fortune
That horse was given to Zhao Zhe and Qin Yun, who had made a lot of contributions. The rest of the Huya soldiers can replace them as long as they see a better horse in the booty.
The plundering continued, and in the next three days, the Huya Young Army wiped out several tribes of more than 1,000 people one after another. But he had to embark on the journey home. Because at this time, the Tatar Dynasty must have known about the existence of this powerful plundering team, and it is certain to send troops to encircle and suppress. Of course, the most important thing is that the carrying of loot has been carried to the extreme. Five hundred people, the management and carrying six thousand war horses have reached the extreme. And every war horse is worth a lot of money, how can it be discarded casually.
When he set foot on the way back, Zhao Zhe didn't bother to hide any traces. Anyway, the straight-line distance from the border of Dazhao is only four or five hundred miles. The Tatar army wanted to encircle, but it was too late. As for whether the Tatars will settle this account on Da Zhao's head and use it to send troops and so on. Zhao Zhe was not worried at all. If they really want to attack Da Zhao, they will fight if this happens, and they must be afraid in their hearts and not fight, even if there is such a thing, they will not be able to fight. What's more, there is room for prevarication at this time. Which one of the robbers do you say will reveal his true identity? This is clearly a conspiracy of the Later Jin Kingdom, they killed the Tatar tribes, but blamed Da Zhao. This is not for nothing, after all, didn't Baltu, the wolf king of the Tatar Kingdom, lead tens of thousands of horses to Houjin to plunder and make trouble? It is also extremely normal for Houjin to retaliate.
Six thousand war horses only brought a small amount of the most valuable booty, as well as more than five hundred people, and the speed of the march was naturally fast. The horses rotated at night. In a day and a half, he crossed the boundary line of the Great Wall and entered the territory of Dazhao. The Tatar encirclement and suppression cavalry has not yet had time to launch. Let this demonic enemy army slip away.
It took another two days to return to a royal farm on the outskirts of the capital. Let Da Hengxiang's Chen Da Dang come with a few people from her pawnshop, and this is a valuation of hundreds of boxes of sundries. Of course, seventy or eighty of these hundreds of boxes of loot were all kinds of furs and medicinal herbs. There are less than twenty boxes of jewelry, antiques, and the like. In addition, there are four boxes of gold and more than 50 boxes of silver.
Zhao Zhe was also full of excitement, masked and inspected the boxes of jewelry. Although those worshippers didn't know Zhao Zhe's origins, they had already told them thousands of times before they came, and they had told them not to fool or offend people. Therefore, although those few worshippers are usually quite proud, but here, they are trembling.
One person was holding a box, and one thing was identified. All kinds of jade jewelry, antique rare books, although some of them look similar at first glance, but the actual value is often very different. Those pawnshops are enshrined because of the owner's instructions, and they are carefully identified. Then mark the price item by item. If you encounter something you can't be sure about, you have to discuss it with a few people. However, they are all leaders in this industry, and they have seen countless treasures, and they can identify a box in an hour.
It took a whole day, and late at night, to estimate the value of the nineteen chests of valuable goods, totaling more than 1,300,000 pieces of silver. On average, the price of a box is around 70,000 taels.
As for those fur herbs, they are even faster to identify. Even Chen Susu himself is half an expert in this area. There are about 80 boxes, but the estimated value is only about 400,000 taels. But it does not include three excellent thousand-year-old ginseng, which cost tens of thousands of taels of silver each, and the price is not marketable. Chen Susu wanted to buy it on the spot, but was rejected by Zhao Zhe. The thousand-year-old ginseng is the main material for refining and making the Pill, and with some other materials, it can be practiced three times. This was already set when I grabbed the thousand-year-old ginseng before.
Although according to the alchemy method of the Void Son, one of the three chances to succeed is incredible. But as long as there is one success, it is worth the ticket back. You must know that that guy has opened the furnace and refined the Creation Pill a total of seven times so far, but he has only succeeded twice. Obtain a total of 12 Creation Pills. It was precisely because of the success of the second furnace that Zhao Zhe would reward some of the surplus Creation Pills to the five first-grade masters. Now in his hands, there are only five left.
After learning that Zhao Zhe also needed the rare medicinal material of thousand-year-old ginseng, Chen Susu hesitated slightly, and said that the last time she went to Liaodong to collect medicinal materials, she also received a batch of rare medicinal materials, including three thousand-year-old ginseng. This batch of medicinal materials was held in her hands for her and Gu Yan respectively. I think that this kind of valuable goods will definitely increase in value. At least not in value. Also, it's good to keep this kind of thing in your hands just in case. If Zhao Zhe really needs medicinal materials, he can go to her warehouse to choose them.
Zhao Zhe was overjoyed, if there were three more thousand-year-old ginseng. The Void Son could open the furnace six times, and after so many failed experiences, his alchemy would definitely improve. With a little luck, you can make two furnaces. These two furnaces of Creation Pill can not only create several grandmasters for him. It can also greatly improve the success rate of Yiyi for assistance. If she really wants to study it ten more times or eight times, the chance of success will reach 10%. It is difficult to find a grandmaster, but a first-class master, or even a first-class peak master, can still find dozens of suitable candidates across the country. There is a fifty percent chance that people will be promoted to Grandmaster, which is enough for any first-class master to serve him. What's more, Zhao Zhe is still an emperor, and he has a natural and powerful advantage in winning over others to serve his own life.
It's a pity that she wants to study the ingredients of this magic elixir. But she is just a smart brain, and if she is not equipped with professional drug analysis and research peripherals, she will not know where to start. Also, the thousand-year-old ginseng is also extremely rare. Even if it is purchased at a large price, no one is willing to sell. Most of the people who have thousand-year-old ginseng are people who have a very solid family and have a strict collection. Because this thing has a very strong effect on sustaining life. It is far from being comparable to ordinary ginseng with insufficient years.
Not to mention this matter, considering Zhao Zhe's robbery harvest this time, it is really quite rich. Jewelry and antiques are worth 1,300,000 taels, furs and medicinal materials are worth 400,000 taels, gold is equivalent to silver is 80,000 taels, silver is 50,000 taels, and 5,000 war horses can have about 600,000 taels, and the total value of materials grabbed is more than 2.4 million taels. This is simply a huge profit, no wonder those England, Spain, will organize fleets to rob everywhere, this is really a good way to make a fortune.
Chen Susu also said that these prices are conservative estimates. If the same thing is sold separately, it can be 30% higher, or more. She believes that Da Heng Xiang can eat this batch of goods and sell them to the outside through Da Heng Xiang's various shops all over the country. Although this amount of goods seems to be a lot, once it is dispersed across the country, it is just a drop of water in the sea.
Zhao Zhe touched it, and in order to show Chen Susu's favor of sending three thousand-year-old ginseng. With a stroke of the pen, he sold this batch of goods to Da Hengxiang. and said that the goods in the future can still be sold to her. Except, of course, war horses and gold and silver. The war horse is useful for itself, and the gold and silver are directly rewarded to his subordinates. Let everyone follow and make a small fortune.
tasted the sweetness, and Zhao Zhe really refused to let the Huya Young Army be idle. Except for taking turns to leave a hundred men and go to all parts of the country to oversee the army. The remaining three hundred people, plus Grandmaster Gu Chen. I'll go out and rob them all. The team composed of pure masters and pure elite horses really comes and goes like the wind and is unstoppable. Perhaps these 300 people plus a grandmaster will not be able to fight against 10,000 elite cavalry on the frontal battlefield. But the goal of 300 people is too small. Where is it easy to catch so much. What's more, even if you are bumped into by a large army, with the advantage of speed and combat power, you can still break through and escape.
Of course, after Zhao Zhe played it once, although he felt excited, he couldn't go to rob it every day. In this way, he only occasionally came in the mood, so he joined the royal guards to join the plundering team and went to the surrounding countries to wreak havoc. Gu Chen and the Huya Hatchling Army can basically go back and forth once a month. Almost every time you can net a million or two million, as well as a large number of war horses. In addition, there are often some surprises that grab the baby. For example, sometimes you will get a magic weapon, and sometimes you will get a large piece of dark iron, thousand-year-old ginseng, and it has not been broken one after another. After all, those people love to find trouble in the Houjin Kingdom when they have nothing to do. Later, Jin Guo is the origin of ginseng for thousands of years.
But every time I go out to plunder, it's not the slightest bit dangerous. There are often fierce battles, desperate breakouts, etc., and after half a year, a total of more than 30 people have died. This made Zhao Zhe quite distressed. But it's not without the slightest advantage, this kind of cultivation method that keeps people in the midst of killing. Let those young talents who have the support of Pei Yuandan and whose qualifications are the best choice have made breakthroughs repeatedly. Now more than 100 people have been promoted to the third grade, five have reached the second grade, and the rest are almost all in the fourth grade. In addition, about 150 people have been added in the past six months, but this 150 people are generally one to two grades lower than the realm of the elderly. But Rao is like this, and now the Huya Young Army of more than 500 people is no longer the same as half a year ago. Moreover, each of their war horses is at least a fine horse, and many of them are superb war horses. In the past six months, Guy has passed through their horses, not 50,000, but 30,000. Count every horse, at least they are one in a hundred.
With this money replenished into the treasury every month, although the treasury is still a little tighter, it can finally survive month by month. It's not because you can't even pay the normal expenses for the operation of the imperial court.
