Chapter 94: A Journey to the City of Sentences [Medium]
"And a thousand other sheets of all kinds of furs, ginseng, mountain delicacies, and the like." Yang Zilu said with a smile.
The second shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, the fur business is a big business, especially those nobles, who like fur the most. The second shopkeeper said to Yang Zilu: "I don't know Your Excellency, what do you want to buy this time?" ”
"The second shopkeeper will see how much these goods are worth!" After Yang Zilu finished speaking, he asked people to send the goods up.
In fact, there are so many goods, only about a quarter of them belong to the Jiukui Tribe, and the rest are all obtained by Yang Zilu from the Chuan Li Clan and the Haiyan Tribe, and some of the small tribes that belong to it.
After seeing the inventory, the second shopkeeper didn't think about it carefully, and gave a price that was more fair in Yang Zilu's opinion. Two hundred thousand dollars. Seeing this, Yang Zilu naturally didn't bargain with the second shopkeeper, in fact, the price given by the second shopkeeper was almost 10% higher than the price of other shops. Of course, with Yang Zilu's eloquence, even if you can't get this price in other shops, it's not much worse.
After determining the price, the second shopkeeper immediately wanted to get back the money that had not yet entered Yang Zilu's money bag, and asked, "Chief Yang, I don't know what goods you want?" ”
"Sakbo! How much is a horse? Yang Zilu asked,
"Since it's Chief Yang who wants it, then it's thirty dollars a horse!" The second shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"Twenty-five dollars, I want five hundred horses!" Yang Zilu gritted his teeth and placed a second shopkeeper who was also slightly surprised.
The second shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Chief Yang, this linen cloth is at most twenty-nine dollars!" ”
"Twenty-six!" Yang Zilu gritted his teeth and said, this mouthful, there are 500 more dollars, Yang Zilu's flesh hurts! The purchasing power of the Ge currency in this era is unusually strong, a Ge coin can buy 40 catties of millet, which is equivalent to about 20 catties in modern times, and there are 40 yuan in exchange for Chengren coins. Of course, currency conversion is not so simple, and there are also data such as yield per mu to be added.
"Twenty-nine!" The second shopkeeper didn't give an inch, and his voice was as smelly and hard as the stones in the toilet.
"Twenty-seven!" Yang Zilu gritted his teeth.
"Twenty-eight!" The second shopkeeper seemed to be frightened by Yang Zilu's appearance, hesitated, and made some concessions.
"Deal!" Yang Zilu's face immediately changed, and he said with a smile, the person who gritted his teeth just now and wanted to swallow the second shopkeeper alive didn't seem to be him.
The second shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, arched his hand and said, "It's a pity that Chief Yang doesn't go to be a businessman!" ”
"You're welcome! Polite! Although Yang Zilu said politely, there was no trace of polite expression on his face.
The second shopkeeper asked with trepidation: "Five hundred pieces of linen, the price of one horse is twenty-eight yuan, a total of fourteen thousand yuan." Chief Yang, what more do you want! ”
It seems that although he was frightened by Yang Zilu's bargaining level, he swore not to give up if he couldn't get the 200,000 yuan out of Yang Zilu's money bag.
"I want soldiers!" Yang Zilu said, seeing the surprised expression of the second shopkeeper, he added: "It was originally a soldier's slave!" ”
"This is a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible, many slaves in Wu were originally prisoners of war! It is mostly used for mining. Four thousand five hundred dollars per person! The second shopkeeper opened his mouth and said, seeing Yang Zilu open his mouth, he hurriedly added: "This is the lowest!" I have to pay taxes when I pass through the two countries, and I have to deal with those officials where to buy slaves in Wu, and you have to give me a little profit! ”
Yang Zilu gritted his teeth and said, "Four thousand dollars, I want thirty people!" ”
"Thirty slaves, 120,000 dollars!" The second shopkeeper smiled with a smile, it seems that his insistence just now is just not enough profit.
Yang Zilu now finally knows why so many people are keen to become slave traders. The slave industry is really fucking profitable, and I know why those rulers are desperate to maintain slavery. All because the benefits given by the slave traders are too high, fighting a big war, capturing hundreds of people, even if a captive is sold to a slave trader for a thousand dollars, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars into a bag, plus the high tariffs of the slave traders, you can count the money until your hand cramps. Yang Zilu felt that 200,000 yuan was a lot of money before, but compared with these slaves, he was paralyzed! Only 30 people asked for 60% of their 200,000 dollars.
Yang Zilu said to the second shopkeeper with a painful face: "Remember that what I want are all people from Chu and Yue, remember to be officers, you can't find a high estimate, at least it's Wu Chang and Shi Chang, if you can find a big official!" ”
The second shopkeeper now found that Yang Zilu's money was really not easy to earn, and said with a bitter face: "The old man can only say as much as possible!" But Chief Yang doesn't want to order anything else? Like beauty? Bmw? And some jade, ceramics, swords? ”
Yang Zilu knows that it is not okay not to buy something, but he has always believed that what is spent is called money, besides, the money of the Yue country is useless in the mountains, and the people of Shanyue basically barter and rarely use money.
"I want horses, but bantams caught in the mountains! In addition, if there are slaves who can weave cloth and grow ramie, it is okay, but I want to be in the city of Juwu! Don't let me wait to get back from Wu! Yang Zilu said.
(Ramie, a high-fiber plant, a raw material for linen.) )
"Brother Yang, I heard that the silk of the Yue people is good, why don't we raise silkworms?" The black bear suddenly spoke.
Yang Zilu suddenly realized when he heard this, and said, "Yes! Second shopkeeper, do you have this who can raise silkworms! ”
"This is ordinary!" The second shopkeeper said that he was ordinary in his heart, but he was secretly frightened by Yang Zilu, and now he understands why the big shopkeeper attaches so much importance to this Yang Zilu. From what Yang Zilu bought, it can be seen that his ambition is to become a Shanyue clan! If it succeeds, won't the furs, noble medicinal materials, and mountain treasures in the Shanyue people become the only ones that can be purchased in my Qi shop? How much profit is this!
Thinking of this, the price offered by the second shopkeeper is even lower, and it can basically be said that it is just a little errand fee. "Three thousand dollars per person!"
Yang Zilu was embarrassed to bargain when he heard this price, and besides, he couldn't cut much if he cut it down, and you were embarrassed to ask the second shopkeeper to post it upside down, right? Yang Zilu nodded happily and said, "Okay, ten silkworm raisers!" Ten who can grow ramie! ”
Hearing this, the black bear couldn't help but ask strangely: "Brother Yang, why don't you know how to weave!" ”
Yang Zilu knocked on the door of the black bear's head and said, "Are you stupid!?" The basic knowledge of raising silkworms and ramie is weaving, and they are all self-produced and sold! ”
