Chapter 9 Haidongqing and Ginseng
readx; The corpses on the ground quickly became cold, and their eyes were frozen into grayish white by the cold as if to remind Yun Erren that their lives were of little value here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only in a normal society would human life be valued by everyone, and if this scene appeared on the streets of Tokyo, passers-by would hiss and shout, "Murder!" "The arrest of Kaifeng Mansion will run over like a frightened donkey, the criminal officer of the government will personally come to investigate the case, and the picture of the murderer will also be posted at the city gate by the government as quickly as possible.
Here, the people just watched for a moment, and the shopkeeper scolded the man for going to work, and the other pirates looked indifferently at the corpse on the ground, and were far more interested in his possessions than in life.
The money killer was like a wild dog, looking at the onlookers with fierce eyes, and in his eyes those people were wild dogs ready to rob him of his food.
Taking advantage of the mutton soup boss to fill him with mutton, he quickly peeled off the leather jacket on the corpse and wrapped it around himself, took off his shoes and put them on his body, and put the man's money bag into his arms, even so, he still stepped on the corpse's chest with a pair of big feet that had just put on his shoes......
The boss of the mutton soup did not give him any preferential treatment because this guy had just bitten a person to death, and the lamb in the bowl was not more than others, the killer muttered, and the boss threw over a piece of black flour cookcake and greeted other guests as if nothing happened.
For people like Yun Er, who has force and money, Black Mountain Island is heaven, whether it is by force or money, he can achieve his goals, for those who have no money and no force. It's definitely the deepest part of hell here.
The killer took the money and finished the business, so naturally he and Yun Er did not owe each other, so the killer began to eat mutton, and Yun Er and his subordinates continued to show off their might in the market.
Hai Dongqing's kind of thing, the Yun family has never felt too much. Of course, for the Great Song court, this thing has also changed from a luxury to a necessity, and since Yunda began to use Haidongqing as a messenger on a large scale in the army, the Great Song court also began to enter this field.
However, after the urgent requirements of the secret of the DPRK and China were encrypted into numbers, the remote messenger became Haidongqing, especially the liaison between Shuzhong and the capital. It is the first priority to Haidongqing.
In the past, everyone also used carrier pigeons to act as messengers, but the power of carrier pigeons was not enough, although its positioning and transmission were more accurate than Hai Dongqing, but there were too many natural enemies of carrier pigeons, and there were almost too many eagles in the sky at this time in the Great Song Dynasty. Pigeons can easily become food in the mouths of birds of prey.
Hai Dongqing is different, its flight speed is extremely fast, and it is the overlord in the sky, so it is much safer to use Hai Dongqing to pass on secret messages than to use pigeons.
Therefore, as long as Yun Er sees Hai Dongqing, he will buy it, he doesn't care about the price, and fully exerts his temperament to the fullest.
Some Haidongqing businessmen accused Yun Er that this was not a way to do business. Doing so will quickly increase the price of Hai Dongqing, which is not good for the entire Great Song Dynasty, but seeing Yun Er smile. As soon as pearls popped out in exchange for Hai Dongqing, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
Yun Er has always had no concept of prices, when his body was very small, the eldest brother would sew some silver or gold on his clothes, and when he was old enough to spend money, the sister-in-law had already entered the door, and the Yun family at that time basically did not lack any money.
Lu Qingqing is very good at petting Yun Er. Although he was always reprimanding Yun Er, he never had any restrictions on Yun Er in terms of money, food, and drink.
Yun Er knows that there are a lot of pearls at home. Many of them are almost packed in wooden boxes, if there are enough Haidongqing here. Yun Er wouldn't care if he exchanged that box of pearls for hundreds of Hai Dongqing and came back.
For him, as long as he can get Hai Dongqing, he is taking advantage.
Through this hand, the pirates and businessmen on Black Mountain Island speculated more magically about Yun Er's identity, from a wealthy family to a princely family, although such speculation was very close to the truth, when they saw that Yun Er bought Hai Dongqing and then began to buy ginseng, Yun Er's identity had become the son-in-law of the wealthy family at this time.
In fact, there are not many ginseng that Hai Dongqing and Yun Er can look at, seven or eight Hai Dongqing are fluttering their short wings in the cage indiscriminately, and they can get eagle feathers flying everywhere, and the big guys of the Yun family hurriedly got a carriage to send these things back to their shop.
Very few of the Jurchens who picked ginseng came to Montenegro, and even when Sura Hague was desperately in need of outside assistance, he still looked down on the Jurchens with pride.
Therefore, most of the people who came to Black Mountain Island to sell ginseng were Khitans and Koreans, and it was difficult for Song merchants to go deep into the hinterland of Liao to buy ginseng, and it was not like this in the past, but after the Liao Emperor was almost killed in the Duck River, the merchants of Song Kingdom easily disappeared between the white mountains and black waters as long as they entered the Liao mainland.
No matter how much money you make without your life, you can't be blessed, so the Song people gave up the first chain of ginseng trading, which led to the soaring price of ginseng in the Great Song Dynasty.
"A thousand years of ginseng is not?"
All the merchants who sold ginseng looked at Yun Er like fools, and it was a shame that such a person who had no knowledge of ginseng should actually get in the middle of his group of people who were talking about the price in his sleeve.
The big guy of the Yun family hurriedly came up to relieve Yun Er: "Second young master, the thousand-year-old ginseng doesn't mean that the ginseng has grown for a thousand years, the general wild ginseng is amazing, that is, it has been nearly a hundred years, and there are many people who collect good ginseng after getting it, and few people eat it, thousand-year-old ginseng is a compliment, just like we often say that someone is eight feet tall!"
A Khitan man wearing a dogskin hat turned his head to look at the Yun family's big guy and said, "I don't know what nonsense to say?" Who told you that there is no thousand-year-old ginseng, Lao Tzu has seen ginseng transform into a shape, and it was supposed to grow well on the ground, but in a blink of an eye, it disappeared, and I only saw the back of a fat doll with a bare ass......"
After listening to the fantasy narration of the Khitan people, Yun Er still decided to listen to his own plan, patted the big guy on the shoulder and said, "A thousand years of ginseng can't grow into a Luobu?" Give me some ginseng for one or two hundred years, my wife needs it very much after giving birth. ”
A Goryeo merchant wearing a tall hat said in a yin and yang strange voice: "Good ginseng is that as long as you take out gold and silver, you can naturally buy it, as far as I know, there is a four-hundred-year-old ginseng in the mansion of the city lord of Suzhou City, which can be called priceless If you can afford it, I heard that the city lord also intends to sell it." I'm afraid that you, the Nanban, can't afford to bid. ”
Yun Er was overjoyed, and finally heard a reliable news, and after thanking the Goryeo people, he said to Yan Laodao: "Beat him up, he just scolded me for being a Nanban!" ”
Boss Yan naturally rushed over, the Korean seemed to be a very talented person, and there were also some Korean people wearing hats in winter around him, seeing that Yun Er was going to do it, he naturally rushed over to protect his master.
Boss Yan and the others immediately fell in love with this place since they saw the killer who always had money killing, where they could kill people freely without caring about the government, this was really a good place for a lone thief like him to live.
The first punch hit a Korean samurai on the chin, and seeing that the samurai was beaten and flew up, a whip leg was slammed into the waist and abdomen of the Goryeo samurai whose body had been knocked away, and the whole person moved forward, and the green bamboo pipe sandwiched between the fingers pierced into the bodies of the two Korean samurai beside him.
The Koreans didn't expect Boss Yan to be so ruthless in any case, seeing the blood in his body gushing out from a few pipes, he roared and drew his knife and prepared to besiege Boss Yan, but he was stopped outside by the five people of Jing Mu Qian, and the ginseng store became as lively as a gladiatorial arena without much effort.
Yun Er knew that Boss Yan and the others were showing themselves the value of their existence, since the old cobbler joined the team, Boss Yan and the others were actually very worried that their position as the chief warrior would be snatched away, and they would definitely not show mercy at this time.
Yun Er turned around and saw that the tall hat of the Goryeo merchant had been kicked off, so he asked the rest of the merchants for advice on how to buy ginseng.
The rest of the ginseng merchants didn't care about this kind of brawl, Yun Er had only been on this Black Mountain Island for a day, although he was arrogant, he was never ambiguous in doing business, as long as the business was negotiated and the account was paid, he never heard that he owed anyone the money he didn't pay, so he was very willing to do business with him.
"It seems that Childe is only going to ask for the best ginseng, in this case, I still have two ginseng plants here that can barely enter Childe's eyes, but the price is naturally more expensive."
Yun Zheng saw that the Khitan merchant took out two brocade boxes from his carriage, and after opening them, he found that they indeed contained two ginseng plants with complete roots and whiskers, which were not only much larger than those on the outside, but also much more beautiful.
"These are two centuries-old ginseng, and I won't take out the rest if it's not enough for the year and weight, I don't know how much Gongzi plans to bid?"
The big guy of the Yun family glanced at Yun Er and nodded, he was sure that this thing was really ginseng and not something like Luo Bu, as for the price, it was naturally the second son who had the final say.
Yun Er patted the box on the lid of the brocade box and said, "It's not convenient to bring gold and silver here, I have a few beads here, you can see if you can exchange them!" ”
As Yun Er spoke, he poured out two colored pearls the size of pigeon eggs from his purse and put them in the palm of his hand to show the Khitans.
In fact, there is no shortage of pearls in Liaodong, Dongzhu is also famous for good pearls, Dongzhu is huge and full, round and crystalline, and can exude colorful luster, and the jewelry made of it is shining, showing nobility and luxury by the Khitan people.
Therefore, seeing the pearl on the second hand of the cloud, the Khitan people sighed and said: "This is the South Pearl!" ”
Yun Er smiled: "That's true, I don't know if I can exchange?" (To be continued)
