When Bai Minghe saw Sang Song's reaction, he knew that this businessman had a deep background.

"There is a kind of papaya tree in your country...... "Bai Minghe has seen this kind of tree, this kind of thing is very much in Nanzhang, and as soon as he said a few words, Sang Song explained to Lu Bayi, and he understood what kind of tree this was. In fact, in later generations, after a large number of artificial planting, it is definitely a good thing, a tree hangs more than a dozen papayas, and the yield is amazing.

"You can consider a variety of fruits, and the kind of fruit will be offered to you based on the quality. The price of papaya per stone is at least ten stone meters, and it will only be more, not less. ”

Bai Minghe put forward the idea, as for the transportation and other problems, even if it is too late to transport to the capital, make zuò into dried papaya, or other things, put it in the north can be a lot of money.

Bai Minghe was talking, but saw Sang Song's eyes turned to the side, and after a rudeness, Sang Song said: "Bai Gongzi, that subordinate of yours seems to have found something interesting, looking at that excitement, it is estimated that we have another income in Nanzhang." The white crane looked over and saw that the one had grabbed a handful of grass.

A handful of grass excites him, and what Sanson sees is silver, which is probably a good thing.

The businessman, Lu Ba, also followed, walked closer, and asked Bai Minghe. The one replied, "My lord, this is Indigo." Look at this leaf fat, it is indeed the best grade. But whether it really works well is only known after really trying it. ”

"Go to the head of the bank to estimate the price, first replace some and go back to try it, and if it is easy to use, it will be officially priced for a long-term transaction. This kind of thing should be done according to the rules. Bai Minghe replied indifferently.

As for what this thing is for, Bai Minghe didn't even ask.

It is a medicinal herb. Or food, or something else, Sanson didn't ask, just stood here and waited. Soon, there was a special appraisal staff here in Daming, and he gave a high price, one stone of fresh leaves for two and a half stones of polished rice. After trying it out, it's time to set the price.

"Go dig the grass, at least ten stones for the distinguished guests of the Ming Dynasty." Na Lu Ba immediately ordered his men.

The price was set, and the person in charge of pricing officially reported: "My lord." This can be used as one of the ingredients for blue dye. According to the calculation of the head of the line. It should be possible to reach two to four percent. That is, 100 stone fresh leaves, the result of three months of processing and refining, you can get two to four stones of raw materials, and then after reprocessing. At least one stone blue can be obtained. ”

Sang Song was secretly surprised by this. So let's talk about the blue material that the Ming people need. It would take two hundred and fifty stones. And that's not even if it's going to take three months, there's a lot of labor involved, and there's definitely something else that's going to need to be added.

That's it. One stone of blue material is six hundred, and the cost of eight hundred stone meters is about the same.

The people of the Ming Dynasty either don't say it here, but what they want to say is the truth. Lu Ba didn't doubt what Da Ming said, but he was surprised that the cost was so high.

Come to think of it, dyes alone are so expensive, no wonder the price of Daming's silk is so high.

In fact, the person who came to the head of the guild was telling the truth, and he was telling the truth. But it is not complete to tell the truth, he said that three months, not for many people to work hard for three months, but for three months. Speaking of the actual blue material, it is pure indigo, and it is a solid indigo block.

"Speaking of dyes, we have a nice red dye here, taken from Su Fang wood." Lu Baxin said that this will be another business.

Bai Minghe smiled: "You can make a large amount of this red dye, as long as you quality me." If the quality is not good enough, then buy it according to the dyeing raw materials, let them go back and purify it again, and then process it. ”

"Yes, yes, Bai Gongzi, what you said is very true."

The white crane was talking, and the people next to him were all listening silently.

It's only been a few days, especially these people from the palace and the Guangdong military household, even if they didn't talk to Bai Minghe, their heads were almost brainwashed by Bai Minghe.

Xingshou Institute is a place where the best and most elite talents in various industries are focused. Originally, they were responsible for the quality of the goods, but because of the lack of manpower, they were also responsible for the pricing. At least they know what it's worth at what price.

As for the standard of pricing, Shiramei Crane does not have any instructions.

But they have their own set of methods, and the price of one qiē is based on the benchmark price of a load of silk and 3,300 stone polished rice of Bai Minghe. Then, after converting each item into a large number of prices, it is compared with such a benchmark price, and then the price is opened. If this side is not satisfied, it will definitely not immediately make a price.

Make some requests for the goods before negotiating the price.

The rice that the grass fruit increased just now, in the eyes of these people in the head of the house, it was a kind of show, and the limit floor price of the grass fruit in their hearts was that twenty stones of grass fruit were exchanged for a load of silk. Compared with the current 800 stones, as well as the high price of the show, 400 stones for a piece of silk, the difference is as far as the Yellow River.

What is the price of this indigo finished product in Daming.

The solid pure indigo block, even if it is the same weight of gold, will not be exchanged, how can it be added to two percent.

Even if it is exchanged for silk, and then it is exchanged for rice here, it is the actual price of 10,000 stone rice, and you can exchange it for one stone of indigo in Daming. Therefore, when Sang Song and the others were shocked by the 800 stone meters of indigo blue top, the people of Xingshouyuan were satisfied with this price. In other words, here the indigo leaves are just weeds all over the mountains.

The Nanzhang people also don't have enough technology to turn these weeds into pure indigo.

Raw materials for dyes, spices, oils, edible spices, and non-edible essential oils. These are the absolute focus of Shira's purchase, at least rice, which is not the point, but just a kind of goods that need to be traded in large quantities.

Thousands of people on the dock are constantly inspecting the goods and constantly moving the goods to the ship.

Daming's boat, a boat docked. The goods are disembarked, directly taken over by the Nanzhang soldiers, and then the quantities are checked. In addition to the regular goods, there are five ships of ordnance alone on Bai Minghe's side, and these ordnance Bai Minghe did not negotiate the price, but handed them over to Chen Ah Da to deal with, he knew how much these ordnance was worth.

Chen Adaa is a real person, a real person.

Choosing Chen Ada, Bai Minghe is to give Nanzhang people a good impression, Bai Minghe has only one requirement for Chen Ada, how much these ordnance was made back then, double it to Nanzhang people.

Ordnance needs to have intellectual property rights, which is the benefit of the technical part, and it is easy for you to train a good blacksmith.

Especially for the wrought iron steel blade knife, in the hands of a person like Nanzhang who is not very good at iron smelting, Chen Ah made a big offer, thirty steel knives and one silk. Chen Ada's will never talk about silver, he has his stupid methods, anyway, the most he talks about here is silk, so he will talk about silk.

It's a steel knife, but it's not an ordinary weapon.

Immediately try the knife, use the steel blade knife of the Ming military against the weapon of the southern palm, and compare it in modern times, that is, the person holding the AK 47 and the person holding the Hanyang made to compare the weapon.

Thirty weapons prepared by the pro-soldiers of Nanzhang Da Nang were broken in a row, and there were only some slight wounds on the blades.

Only the pro-soldiers in Da Nang are equipped with wrought iron knife weapons.

Some of the ordinary soldiers were still using weapons that had been handed down from Tianzhu, such as the tiger claws of Tianzhu and the double-ended sticks of Siam. and some weapons made of brass. In terms of iron-making technology, Nanzhang is far behind. Compared to Annan, the difference is huge. The iron weapons in Annan's hands were originally after they were conquered by Ming Chengzu and became the land of the Ming Dynasty, and many blacksmiths of the Ming Dynasty passed on some craftsmanship to Annan.

The south palm is not close to the sea, and the part that is connected to the Ming Dynasty also belongs to the underdeveloped areas of the Ming Dynasty.

The style of the weapon is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but the technology is not even up to the level of the early Tang Dynasty, let alone the current Ming Dynasty.

(The above part is from the book Ancient Asian Weapons)

The other weapon that Chen Adaa took out was a weapon that was piled up in the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty, and the weapon that was almost no longer used in the battle of the Great Army, the small slightly horned bow. This kind of bow is almost curved into a full moon shape in the opposite direction before the string is hung, and after the bowstring is hung, the bow body unfolds and becomes a slightly angled bow.

It is called the Little Angled Bow because it is only two feet long when it is fully open.

Of course, during the anti-Yuan war, because it was easy to make zuò, a large number of them were manufactured, and after the world was settled, these bows were sealed with oil and then thrown into the warehouse. Only once a year during the big exercises, it is taken out and used, and then sealed in the warehouse again.

It is often used, but it is used for hunting.

Chen Ah shouted that the soldiers in his hands hung up the bowstring, and fired a salvo of 100 people at a time, within one hundred and twenty paces, the power of this bow was really good.

In the face of the northern cavalry, such a bow had only one chance to fire a salvo, and the cavalry would rush closer.

Particularly well-trained, they can only fire two volleys.

"A hundred bows, a load of silk. Ten arrows were delivered. Whoever asks for arrows alone shall have forty arrows in a pot, and two hundred arrows in a load of silk. But as Lord Bai said, these things are not goods. So sell half get half free. ”

Two hundred pots of arrows is eight thousand arrows, and if it is really calculated according to silk, even if it is sold for half and half for free. It's also five arrows and one stone of rice, which is a high price.

When the arrow was in his hand, the officials of Nanzhang had no way to refute it.

Each arrow has a shiny iron arrowhead, followed by a lacquered shaft, plus a white tail feather.

Shira's arms business is very happy.

The price of these arrows was really the cost of a load of silk for 200 pots of arrows, that is, 300 taels of silver for 200 pots of arrows. This is a math game, 300 taels of silver in college is 600 stone meters, and in Nanzhang it is 3,300 stone meters, and this difference is five times.

Even if you buy one get one free, the white crane also earns it.

What's more, if these small slightly angled bows are piled up for a few more years, I am afraid that no one will use them forever. The Ming Dynasty is popularizing firearms, and the main army, out of every 5,000 people, will now have 2,000 people using firearms, and this goal will increase to 3,500 people, plus 1,000 cavalry, and 500 sword soldiers.
