Chapter 702 Buying and Selling (2)
"This armor!" As soon as they saw Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang on the side of this armor, their eyes lit up, they are not fools, at least they still know with common sense, this is an armor formed in one piece. The cold light flickered on it, like a work of art.
The armor of the ancients did not have such a high iron-making technology, so it was formed by sticking pieces of iron together, and the protective iron pieces occupied half of the area, and the rest were those nails linked to each other.
Therefore, the armor of the ancients was very ugly, and it was also tinkling when walking.
And the armor formed by this one body does not have such a shortcoming.
"This armor was sold by Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou?" Yuan Tan immediately stepped forward and picked up this armor. As soon as you touch it, you can't put it down.
"This!" Yuan Tan felt the weight on this armor, which was much lighter than the armor on his own body.
"Yes!" Yuan Xi nodded, these armors are the armor sold by the Yangzhou Army, which was first sold to Liaodong, and then he Yuan Xi got it.
"How many of these armors do I want!" Yuan Tan immediately paid attention to these heavy armors.
"Big brother, these armors aren't cheap!" Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"Not cheap?" Yuan Tan frowned, what does this mean, could it be that he Yuan Tan can't afford it.
"Every pair of armor is worth a hundred gold!" Yuan Xi explained to his eldest brother that this is still the price in Liaodong, and Liu Mang's outside price is so much, if he buys it from Gongsun Du, a second-class dealer in Liaodong, then the price will increase a lot.
"100 gold!" Yuan Xi hesitated, a set of one hundred gold. 10,000 gold is only 100 sets. He Yuan Xi has 150,000 gold in his hand, so he can only buy 1,500 sets. He Yuan Xi has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
"Big brother. We don't need to buy much of these Yangzhou armors, we just need to wear them for my brother's generals! Yuan Xi said to Yuan Tanjian.
The generals over there are all in their eyes, they have seen the benefits of these armors, if they are equipped, at least this battlefield survival will be several grades higher.
"Good! Then buy, buy, buy 500 sets! Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and prepared to buy a 500 set, which would be replaced by 200 sets for his personal guard battalion. The rest is given to those generals, basically there is no rank of a thousand generals who can't get this Yangzhou battle armor. And here it takes 50,000 gold.
"Big brother, how to sell this knife! Is it also from Yangzhou? "Yuan Shang over there took a fancy to that war knife.
Yuan Xi nodded.
Yuan Shang picked up the war knife and slashed towards the coffee table on the side, directly splitting the coffee table in half without any hindrance, in one go, as if he Yuan Shang was a martial arts master. But in fact, everyone knows that Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao's third son, is at best a third-rate general.
And a third-rate military general can do it in one go like this, naturally because of that war knife.
"Gu Yu, pull out your battle knife!" Yuan Shang shouted to his own guards on the side,
Listening to the lord's shouting, this person named Gu Yu naturally drew his sword without hesitation.
This Gu Yu's knife is also very good, which makes everyone nod their heads.
"Hold it!" Yuan Shang directly picked up the newly arrived war knife and slashed at the weapon in Gu Yu's hand.
"Files!" The sound of metal clashing rang out.
What the! The crowd saw only one section of the blade splashing. fell on the ground, and the splashing gap also hurt Yuan Shang's face over there, drawing blood. But Yuan Shang was not angry at all, but laughed.
"Come again, draw your swords!" Yuan Shang shouted to the other guards on the side, one by one the guards pulled out the war knives, Yuan Shao took out five hundred swords and tried them one by one, without exception, all the swords were turned into two pieces in front of the war knives sold in Yangzhou.
This really made these generals of the Yuan family gasp, such a weapon, if you encounter it on the battlefield, your weapon collides with others, and the combat power of other people's weapons is new, and your weapon has been cut off, what else to fight? This is not looking for death, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it is a dead end. And you have to know who these swords are! Those are all Yuan Shang's personal guards, and their weapons can't be cut corners, at least they have to be tempered weapons. But now it's still vulnerable.
"Come on! Take my Nine Heavens! Yuan Shang shouted to the people under his hands.
Listening to Yuan Shang say the name of the sword of Jiuxiao, a look of jealousy appeared on Yuan Tan's face over there, this Jiuxiao sword was given to the Yuan family by the Emperor of Han, and it was made of Nine Heavens Xuaniron, which was meteoric iron, and it came out after thousands of tempers.
The Qinghong Sword and Yitian Sword in Cao Cao's hands were made of this Nine Heavens Meteorite, while Jiuxiao used the essence part, and Qinghong and Yitian used edge materials.
That's it, Qinghong and Yitian, that are also weapons that sharpen iron like clay.
This Jiuxiao used to be a proof of the head of the Yuan family, it was originally Yuan Shao's sword, but now it has become Yuan Shang's.
Fortunately, the strategists on the side grabbed Yuan Tan, otherwise Yuan Tan would really be able to go up and snatch it.
"Files!" Yuan Shang took Jiuxiao, and slashed towards the sword with a sword, and the remains of the weapon were scattered all over the ground.
This time, it is no longer this war knife produced in Yangzhou that shows its majesty, but that Jiuxiao directly cut this war knife made in Yangzhou to him in two sections.
But that's it, the generals of the Yuan family all fixed their eyes on the swords produced in Yangzhou one by one.
What is the Nine Heavens Sword, it is basically equivalent to the artifact level, and there are not many in the whole world, just like Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which is the only one for scorpions to. Whoever gets him is either rich or rich.
And this Yangzhou war knife is different, this thing, that is a real thing that can be mass-produced, those Nine Heavens Heavenly Sword we can't get this Yangzhou war knife, we can't get it.
So they all looked at Yuan Shang over there, hoping that Yuan Shang would be able to buy these Yangzhou swords.
"These knives, I want them!" Yuan Shang also nodded and shouted. It makes a kind of Yuan family's military generals very excited.
"Fifty gold for a war knife!" Yuan Xi also came up with the price.
"So expensive!" Yuan Shang frowned. After all, those armors are made of a lot more materials than weapons. However, Yuan Shang is not unable to pay the price: "Buy a thousand!" Yuan Shang said to Yuan Xi. The opening is a thousand, which is another fifty thousand gold.
"I don't know how this knife compares to this armor. Which one is stronger! One of the generals below said suddenly, making everyone stunned.
This armor basically guarded against the vital points, and this war knife was also seen by everyone just now, unless it was a divine weapon, there was no one who could compete with him at all, but what if this war knife and this armor collided with each other.
Immediately, Yuan Xi over there asked people to get a new Yangzhou war knife.
The knife fell on top of the armor, and the knife cracked, but the armor was not much better, and a noticeable wound came out.
This duel between the sword and the armor will only end in defeat for both sides.
But it doesn't matter. These weapons and armor were bought from Yangzhou, so Liu Mang in Yangzhou would definitely not sell them to Cao Cao, so they took a huge advantage.
"Second brother, how can this grain and grass be sold in Yangzhou?" Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang immediately turned their attention to other things after getting these swords and armor, that is, grain and grass, people are iron and rice, and they fart if they don't have food.
"The price of one to five!" Yuan Xi said to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were all stunned, one to three, that is, 100,000 gold can buy 500,000 stone of grain and grass, of course, they were shocked not because it was expensive. It's because it's cheap, it's too cheap. At present, the price of grain is generally 1:3 or even 1:2.5, and in some places grain is worth more than money.
And these grains and grasses were transported from Yangzhou Zhou to Liaodong and then sold from Liaodong to the hands of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, which is only one to five?
Immediately, the two brothers laughed, and the original love for disliking the high cost of weapons had all disappeared, but it was a kind of surprise, and in their hearts, this Shu King Liu Mang was a very good person.
"This should be set by Liu Mang, the king of Shu!" Yuan Xi was not as happy as his third brother and eldest brother.
Because this Shu King Liu Mang is not a good person, he is thinking about the Yuan family brothers and Lao Cao working hard, Yuan Xi is even thinking, if they wait for them to win Cao Cao, what kind of enemy will they face.
But I can't think about it so much, because Cao Cao is the enemy of life and death in front of him.
"Big brother and third brother, you give me the money, and I will contact you with the Gongsun Du of Liaodong!" Yuan Xi said to the two brothers.
……
Yuan Xi was right, the price of these grains and grass was what Liu Mang wanted, and even Liu Mang also priced weapons and armor.
"What! Didn't put sixty gold on the sword? One hundred and ten gold per pair of armor? Don't sell, definitely don't sell! As soon as Gongsun Du heard the news, he immediately jumped up.
The price of these weapons and armor from Yangzhou is fifty gold, one hundred gold, and now he has made an extra profit of ten gold when he arrives in Liaodong, you say that his grandson will be willing. What's more, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, sold Gongsun Du's armor and weapons not to pay on delivery, nor did he deliver the goods first and then give the money, but to pay first and then deliver the goods.
This is only a 10% profit, if this ship transporting weapons and armor sinks, then his grandson will not die at a loss.
"Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, this price is set by our lord, sixty gold for a war knife, one hundred and ten gold for armor, Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, you still have to earn." On the side, a messenger from Yangzhou stood on the side and said to Gongsun Du.
"Earn? Hehe, joke, then Yuan Xi bought a total of 1,000 war knives and 500 battle armors, and I will earn ten gold for this pair of armor and a war knife? This is only 15,000 gold, how much risk do I have to take, I have to give money to your Royal Highness the King of Shu first, if you go along the way, if the ship sinks, it will be my Gongsun Du, I will sell weapons to the Yuan family brothers, that will offend Cao Cao, offend Cao Cheng, you also know, my Gongsun Du only has such a state, and what about Cao Cao, Zhili Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou, all in his hands, you say that I can offend him for this fifteen thousand gold! Gongsun Du waved his hand, with an expression that I had suffered a loss, and Lao Tzu would not sell it if he was killed.
"Fifteen thousand gold? Can't do it? Hehe! The envoy sent by Liu Mang from Yangzhou on the side stood on the side and sneered.
This Liaodong prince Sun Du's tone is getting bigger and bigger, and this appetite is getting more and more tricky, when Liaodong did not trade with Yangzhou, the entire Liaodong can collect 20,000 taxes a year, which is a good harvest era.
Now the profit of 15,000 gold is unexpectedly unexpected, and this Liaodong prince Sun Du is not eye-catching. This is really human ambition is wireless.
"Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, it's impossible for this Yuan family brother to buy a thousand war knives and five hundred pieces of armor!" The envoy from Yangzhou on the side shook his head and said to Gongsun Du.
"My Gongsun Du can still deceive you, then the envoy sent by Yuan Xi is also there, do you want me to send someone to ask the envoy to ask you?" Gongsun Du complained to the envoy in Yangzhou.
"Really?" Before the envoy of Yangzhou could speak, a guard suddenly ran in and bowed down to Gongsun Du, "Report, back to the state pastor, there is a messenger outside the mansion who claims to be the marquis of Ye and asks to see the state pastor." ”
Ye Hou? If you don't say the name directly, some people may not know, but Gongsun Du knows who this person is.
The Marquis of Ye is none other than our Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, the title of Marquis of Ye was originally Yuan Shao's, and Cao Cao gave the Marquis of Ye to Yuan Tan in order to separate Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers.
"Report!" Another guard ran in and said, "Report to the Governor of the Prefecture, and another messenger from whom he claimed to be the Great General asked to see the Governor of the Prefecture." “
Okay, this Yuan Shang and Yuan Sangongzi are also here, this Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not slow, they all sent people here.
"Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, if there is something important, I won't bother your lord!" The envoy of Yangzhou looked at Gongsun Du with a smile.
Gongsun Du was a little embarrassed, he was just crying over there and the business came.
"Venerable envoy, don't be busy, don't be busy!" Gongsun Du hurriedly stopped the envoy from Yangzhou.
"By the way, Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, our lord also said, if Lord Gongsun Pingzhou, you sell it to the Yuan family brother at the price of our lord of the family, then my lord can send the armor and sword first and let Lord Pingzhou Mu pay for it." Okay, this is basically a gift of money to Gongsun Du.
If you send the weapon, Gongsun Du can sell it without paying the capital, and he can earn ten gold at once.
"This, this!" Gongsun Du was also stunned by this good news, as long as he shook his head dizzily, "Honorable envoy, I will let you go down to rest, let me think about it!" "Such a good news makes Gongsun Du difficult to digest.
The envoy sent by Yangzhou was not in a hurry to force Gongsun Du to express his position, because the weapons and armor were still being transported by sea.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's envoy Gongsun Du met one by one, Yuan Tan added 2,500 armors, plus 3,000 swords, here is the sale of 400,000, although Yuan Shang is a little less than his eldest brother, but the weapons are much more, 5,000 swords, 2,000 armor, is also a sales of 400,000.
Happiness came too suddenly, this big deal of 800,000 gold, if his Gongsun Du took it, it would be a profit of 125,000 gold, and his Gongsun Du didn't have to pay the capital, this was completely to give him money to Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du felt that his breathing was not good, coupled with the previous transaction of 250,000 yuan, his Gongsun Du turned more than 100,000 gold for nothing, if it was placed in the past, Gongsun Du would not have believed it at all.
"Sell, sell, sell! Why not sell! Gongsun Du's face turned red, this fight is hundreds of thousands of profits, why don't you do such a profitable business, and you must know that the war between the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao can not end in a day or two. If they continue to fight, the most profitable one is his grandson.
"Come on, invite me the envoy sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu, no, no, I'll go in person!" Gongsun Du shook his head and immediately ran towards Honglu Courtyard with vigorous steps, and there was a letter on Gongsun Du's desk, which said that the messenger was Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
