Section 255 Black Market??
On the street outside Da Nang Pier, there are shops on both sides. The goods that can be seen in the shop on the right can be seen here, and there are also teahouses and restaurants. And the one on the left is full of exotic scenery,
On the contrary, Daming's shop pΓΉ is not only Nanzhang people, but also Nanmian people and Zhancheng people.
"See?" Yu Qian asked Bai Minghe.
"Look at it casually, but first let's talk about going north for the night, or going south for the night. To the north, there is a unique scenery of Haiyun Peak, the mountains and seas are very majestic, and it is definitely a poetic place. To the south, the Tra Peninsula is a real South China Sea scenery, I love it! β
"To the south!" Without waiting for the others to react, Chen Ada's proposal was immediately proposed.
Yang Neng squinted his eyes and glanced at Chen Ada, who immediately became nervous, obviously hiding something. However, since his own people have spoken, they can't always lose this face, and Yang Neng also said: "Since the two of them choose to go south, they will go south." There is Governor Laussan! β
Sang Song replied: "Send someone to arrange it immediately, some new wooden houses have been built there, but it is chic." β
Not to mention that Yang Neng noticed Chen Ada's abnormality, several adults noticed it, but no one reacted, Yu Qian still entered a shop.
This shop pΓΉ deals in small household items, from food to daily use.
Every item on the shelves has a label with the price written on it. An ordinary, scented comb soaked in spices, not really fragrant wood. In Daming, this is something that was smashed in the store, because in Daming this is a fake. But it can be placed here, it seems that business is good.
When Yu Qian entered the store alone, there were three people who bought this kind of goods, and each person was at least a hundred.
A three-pound rice!
What an interesting price tag. That is, about forty can be worth half a tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty, which is five hundred yuan. One here is more than ten cents. It's so dark!
It's not just Yu Qian. Everyone has the same idea, but they are outside, and there are some words in their hearts, which will definitely not be said.
The shopkeeper of this shop had a look, but Shi Li stood aside and didn't say a word.
He is a native of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a family member of a Ming officer. He knew what kind of big people were in front of him. Those who can come here are smart people, and they are very clear about what they can say and what they can't say if they are killed. And everybody has to memorize the rules to get here.
Of course, in addition to the military households of the Ming Dynasty, there are at least thirty percent of them here, who are from Dongchang.
At present, these military households, who have also been trained by the people of Dongchang, have almost become half of the people of Dongchang, and they will inquire about the news that they did not know before. Even if there are many men or women in a village, such news will not be spared.
After entering another store, Yu Qian and the others realized that they had just said that the shop was really wronged by the shopkeeper, this store is definitely a top black store, so black that you can directly dig out your heart as a briquette. Because this shop sells linen cloth, twenty feet a horse is troublesome. The price is 10 stone meters.
Ten stone rice Daming will cost five taels of silver, and you only have a small white linen cloth and a half. Isn't that black?
Is it black? The white crane smiled silently.
When he arrived at the silk shop, Yu Qian had nothing to describe.
The two stores just sold it so cheaply! This shop can be described as a loss of conscience, a bag of twenty feet of silk, not Hu silk, just the most ordinary Guangdong silk, here the price of 100 stone meters. According to the calculation of Daming, it is fifty taels of silver. You must know that the best lake silk is twenty feet for one and a half small horses, that is, ten taels of silver.
In the fourth store, Yu Qian just glanced at it, and said to Bai Minghe: "Minghe." The old man is a little tired, why don't you go back and rest first? β
Why didn't Yu Qian want to watch it, he was afraid that he would show some abnormal expression when he watched it.
Because this shop pΓΉ sells swords, a machete. There is no nonsense, the wrought iron inlaid with steel is written, and the asking price is ten stone meters. A pure steel machete costs fifty stone rice. The most expensive one of the stainless steel treasure knives has reached a thousand stone meters, and the cheapest one is also one hundred and twenty stone meters.
What can be said?
Yu Qian knew that there was a knife in Daming, and the ordinary rusty spring knife was originally about 200 yuan.
Although the stainless steel knife produced by Bai Minghe's new process is heavier, it is actually 200 yuan, and the cost is reduced because the process is improved. can be placed here, two hundred wen a piece of stainless steel knife thousand stone meters, is five hundred taels of silver.
Xing'an also specially asked his entourage to take a handful and try it, but the entourage knew it in his heart and didn't explain much.
After leaving the store, I got on a soft sedan chair carried by man, and walked about ten miles to the bay of the peninsula. One thing Shirana Tsuru is not wrong about, the real scenery is unique. Hu Hu wrote a poem immediately, touched by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Rest first, and the banquet will be held in the evening, and you will have to change into civilian clothes.
Yu Qian asked Xing'an at this time: "Xingdu, how is the knife?" β
"It's not as good as the refined knife that Bai Minghe handed in, it should be a light forging of steel out of the oven, and it has not gone through a complicated knife-making process. It belongs to the second-rate stainless steel knife, and it is placed in Daming, which is the kind that costs 170 Wen a handful of Bai Minghe. It must not cost 200 Wen, a thousand stone meters, and you really dare to ask for a price. Don't tell SΓΉ Bento, you don't know the price here? β
"Follow, go, do, market!" Shira-naka only gave an explanation of the word.
Yang Neng interjected at this time: "I will also say a word about this matter, rare things are expensive." Stainless steel is such a thing, pure steel knives are worth this price here, and Bai Minghe is exchanged for 3,300 stone meters of ordinary Guangdong silk here, and he regretted it for half a month for this price. β
"Why?" Several voices spoke at the same time.
"Because he regretted it, he did not offer four thousand stones. That's why he regretted it, and the Siamese prince had been grateful to him for this price. So, that's all! β
The profits of Haimao are so huge, how much silk did you get from Daming, and you got two years of inventory from the top ten merchant gangs, no wonder you gave away millions of rice as sand, three million stone rice, is the value of your 100 quintals of silk, and it is less than 30,000 taels of silver.
The white crane pretended to be nothing, biting a cigar and looking at the sea from afar.
"Don't be jealous of anyone, except for the white crane. You must know that someone secretly went to the sea before the Ming Dynasty! This sentence speaks to the value of the white crane.
Yu Qian asked: "Bai Minghe, how much silver do you have in your warehouse?" β
"This ......," Bai Minghe grinned, but didn't answer.
Yang Neng laughed: "Do you know why he didn't use his White Shark?" I know that he has two ships of fortune that are full of gold and silver, and the draft of the ships is very deep! β
The draft is deep, that is, there are many goods.
The people who are qualified to sit in this room are absolutely status-ready, and the white crane snorted a haha, but did not answer directly. Without asking Qian, Yang Neng said again: "Do you know why Chen Adaa doesn't want us to go north, the beautiful mountains and rivers there are indeed a blessed land." β
"Why?" Yu Qian asked, obviously this question was more interesting than how much silver was on the white crane ship.
"Haiyun Peak can be said to be a mountain, but it is also a majestic pass. The people of Nanzhang, Champong, and Annam do not understand. It doesn't mean that we don't know how to use that terrain. I just asked Chen Ah Da that he had obtained the consent of the king of Nanzhang to build a camp there, and he also gave him 3,000 slaves to work in. β
Yu Qian is a secretary of the Ministry of War, Hu Hu is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and Jieji is a political envoy, even if he has not seen it, he can read some military books. Xiongguan must be guarded, this is the way of soldiers. However, is Chen Ah Da hiding something?
Yang Neng didn't sell Guanzi, and immediately gave the answer.
"The guards here are originally Mao Yijian's people, and they are still the relatives of General Mao Sheng. When he was young, he followed General Mao Sheng to fight in the south and the north, and he also fought many vicious battles. The only thing this person does is that the military department feels troubled, that is, he is too ruthless. With his military exploits, he should at least be a commander at the moment, but he is still a military attache from the fourth rank, because he killed prisoners in the north. β
Hearing Yang Neng say this, Yu Qian had an impression: "I know about this matter, and if you protect him, General Mao Sheng can give up the opportunity to release the governor." β
"He did something more ruthless this time, Bai Minghe said that Da Nang is the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and Annan will not die on this side. After he built the camp, he began to build the city wall and build Xiongguan. The silver is white-named crane is approved by the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, as long as a thousand quintals of silk, Lao Tzu will know how much silver a thousand quintals of silk is worth here. β
Jianxiongguan has nothing, as long as Nanzhang does not object.
At least that's what Yu Qian and Hu Hu think.
Yang Neng smiled bitterly: "As a result, it was some time ago. The Annan people sent people to investigate near his camp, and then he wiped out more than 200 spies in front of and behind Annan, and now the corpses are hanging on the wall of the checkpoint, and Annan has wanted to collect the corpses several times. He was short of troops, so he taught the slaves to use throwing spears, and Annan had already dropped more than 3,000 people there in half a month. β
"Alas!" Yu Qian sighed softly: "It's a fierce general, but I don't know how much the battle damage is?" β
"Lord Yu, are you calling the word Xiongguan for nothing?" There was some pride in Yang Neng's tone: "None of his soldiers died." There are 3,000 slaves under his command, and every enemy killed will be rewarded with a fine linen, and it is not good to slash and kill in close combat, but it is really hard to throw spears above Xiongguan, Chen Ah Da just said that less than 20 slaves in Nanzhang died. β
The white crane suddenly turned his head at this time:
"Give him another 30,000 loads of linen, and then go south to buy another 10,000 slaves. Then his soldiers, all with steel swords. Here in Da Nang, the income in one day is more than all of what is given to him, and there is no room for mistakes. This general is like steel, and good steel is used on the blade. He likes to cut people, and this is the best place for him. β
"Minghe, you know how many such unruly people are among the Ming military guards. Do you know how many warriors who can't sleep without a knife on their pillows? β
Yu Qian's question made Bai Minghe's heart suddenly ignite a fire. (To be continued......)
