Kowtow to some officials here in Daqi, but as long as you earn a large amount of silver, when the amount of silver has accumulated enough to return to your hometown, you can spend money to buy a knighthood!

In his hometown, the aristocracy is also superior.

There are many privileges.

"Get up." Jiang Long glanced at the caravan leader and spoke.

The caravan leader slowly got up, "Lord Xie County!" ”

"What's your name?" Seeing that the other party had the same black eyes as Dai Lisi, Jiang Long asked with some curiosity.

"Back to the adult, the little one's name is Mike." The name of the caravan leader is actually very long, but in the past, because it was too long to introduce himself, it would make the officials of Daqi dissatisfied, frown, and feel that it was very inconvenient, so they simplified it.

"Hmm." Jiang Long's gaze shifted to the wine barrel, "You have been in the wine business for many years?" ”

"Yes."

"How much time does it take to make a round trip?"

"The small ones have a fixed place to buy wine in their hometowns, and there are many sales channels in Daqi, but even so, because of the long distance, it takes three years to cross the desert, the steppe, and the Gobi Desert." Mike replied.

There is a clear hint in the words that there are many sales channels in Daqi.

It is to show that he has a backer.

Even if you want to take some benefits, you can't go too far.

Otherwise, he will ask the backer to come out, so that you can't eat and walk around.

"You didn't make these wines yourself?" Jiang Long didn't care about the hints of Mike's words.

With his background, even if the entire caravan is detained, it is estimated that few people will dare to stand up and call the shots for Mike.

He's not that kind of person, though.

Moreover, if you detain the caravan and take too many benefits, it will have an adverse impact on Lingtong County.

After hearing this, many caravans did not change their route and came here in Lingtong County.

The high gate fee levied on caravans entering the city was one of the main sources of income for border cities.

Or why would the county Cheng Zhou Xi and others do chores for the caravan and help unload the goods to make money than be vampires and take advantage of the caravan?

That kind of practice is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.

"The small one has its own winery, but it's not big."

Mike's Daqi language, the words spoken are correct and round, it can be seen that it has not been a year or two since Daqi.

Jiang Long rubbed his chin, thought about it, and then asked, "If this official wants to buy these twenty barrels of wine, how many silver taels will be needed?" ”

If you can cooperate with Mike for a long time, you can make a lot of money.

But it takes three years for Mike to make a round trip.

And Jiang Long estimated that he would be able to stay in Lingtong County for three years at most, and he would no longer be here next time Mike came.

I gave up on this plan.

When Mike heard this, his heart jumped suddenly.

Instinctively, he glanced up at Jiang Long, and he also wanted to go to the bad side.

Could it be that the young county magistrate in front of him has such a great appetite and wants to swallow all his caravan?

This is absolutely not a no-go!

Mike took a deep breath, first suppressed the anger in his chest, his face was full of flattering smiles, he cautiously leaned forward, and gently tugged at Jiang Long's sleeve.

Doing business pays attention to harmony and wealth, Jianglong is the county order of Lingtong County, and he is the head snake.

As a last resort, he didn't want to fall out with Jiang Long.

Lingtong County is developing rapidly, after Mike came here, he has already inspected everywhere, and found that according to this momentum of development, Lingtong County will be an important city of Daqi in northern Xinjiang, whether it is economic or military, its scale exceeds that of Wangsha County Wangsha City, it is an inevitable thing.

When the city is bigger, the safety factor is high.

The caravan marched along the route, whether it was himself, or a group of guards and coachmen, they did not dare to sleep too much when they rested in the wilderness, and they were afraid that there would be aliens and horse bandits to raid, and they couldn't even sleep well, so they were naturally very tired.

And if you are too tired, you will inevitably be negligent.

An accidental attack by someone who is attacked can cause immeasurable damage.

Therefore, in the cities that pass along the way, the caravan will stop and rest for a day or two.

Let the people in the caravan get a good night's sleep and refresh their spirits.

If you can camp in the wilderness with peace of mind, why should the caravan pay the super high gate fee?

The location of Lingtong County is also good, and Mike has calculated that if he changes the route to get here, then he can save two to three days of time.

So in my heart, I also want to give Jiang Long more benefits, which is also within the scope of my own bearing.

Of course, Jiang Long can't be too ruthless!

Otherwise, he would not have agreed.

If it was placed when Jiang Long was sick and weak, Mike would definitely not be able to get close to Jiang Long.

Tudu and Gunty Buck had already let him down.

If they dare to approach within a certain safety range, the two of them will put Jiang Long's life safety first, and take down the person first.

But now, Jiang Long's strength has been recognized by the two.

If Jiang Long doesn't take a stand, they won't do it on their own.

However, several of Mike's entourage escorts were stopped by Tudu and Gunty Buck with fierce eyes.

Seeing Mike's small movements, Jiang Long instantly understood.

After thinking about it, he followed Mike's wishes and stepped aside.

"Here is a little bit of the villain's heart, and please ask the county magistrate to laugh." Mike took out a stack of silver tickets and quickly stuffed them into Jiang Long's sleeve, the smile on his face was very sincere, "The county has ordered the adults to vigorously develop the construction of Lingtong County, and the hard work is high, and the villain admires it very much!" ”

Jiang Long took out the silver ticket in front of everyone, and pretended to be puzzled on his face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Mike just froze.

Then the brain turned fast, is it too little?

His eyes swept around, and there were no outsiders around, so he took out a few more silver tickets and respectfully held them in front of Jiang Long.

Jiang Long took it, and Mike just breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Long counted them, and these silver tickets were about one hundred and fifty taels.

But it was put back in Mike's hands.

Mike just had a stagnant breath.

His face immediately became gloomy.

At this time, Jiang Long was stern, "What are you doing with this official?" Don't go around and ask, is this the kind of person who takes bribes? ”

"Lord County Order...... Mike still thought that Jiang Long was too little silver, so his face was not good-looking.

But he was interrupted by Jiang Long waving his hand, "Don't say it, the official wants to buy your wine, and you can directly quote a reasonable price, will the official still take it by force?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Long was upright, Mike wondered, was he really misunderstood?

There were twenty large wooden barrels filled with wine in this caravan, each of which could hold a thousand catties.

Pull the wine to the territory of Daqi, and you can sell it all the way.

Wine prices are high and low.

On average, each catty of wine can be sold for five taels of silver.

Of course, the market price of wine is much higher than five taels of silver.

Most of the big wine buyers are merchants, and they have to make another difference in price.

If something happened to the caravan, it was delayed for a year and a half, and the stock of wine was very small, and the price per catty of wine reached fifty taels at its highest!

That's nearly 10 times over!

And doing business is like that, scarcity is expensive.

A barrel of 1,000 catties of wine is 5,000 taels of silver.

Twenty barrels are a hundred thousand taels of silver!

This is definitely not a small amount.

When he was in the capital, Jiang Long and the Chai family joined forces and made a big pit for An Lehou, and they only won about 100,000 taels in total.

In other words, if the fixed assets are removed, An Lehou's net worth is worth these twenty barrels of wine.

Naturally, Mike will not underreport, and he will definitely bargain when doing business, so he said: "Wine is a rare thing, and its market price can be sent by adults to inquire, and the small ones are not much, just charge a cost price, and make some hard-earned money."

One price, 150,000 taels! ”

Jiang Long shook his head lightly when he heard this.

When he came to this world, because the original body was not in good health, it was not suitable to drink alcohol when he was in Jingfu, so Jiang Long really didn't drink wine.

It is also not clear the price of wine.

But that didn't stop him from haggling.

I don't know the price, but I can't let Mike see that I don't know the price.

So he didn't speak, pretending to be deep.

Sure enough, Mike looked at Jiang Long's flat face, thinking that Jiang Long knew the price of Dao wine, so he took the initiative to reduce the price, "If the county magistrate really wants it, then 140,000 taels!" ”

"130,000 taels?"

"The minimum is 125,000 taels, and it can't be less!"

The reserve price in Mike's heart is 95,000 taels, and the reason why it is not 100,000 taels is because he can throw away the expenses of continuing to be in Daqi and bribing many officials.

Jiang Long still shook his head.

"Lord County Order, the small one really just asks for a cost price, if you accept it, you can earn tens of thousands of taels by changing hands!" As a businessman, Mike is naturally very shrewd, and until now, Jiang Long has not paid the last price, so he will not drop it again.

Jiang Long thought about it for a while, and finally spoke: "Ninety thousand taels!" ”

"No! Ninety thousand taels is too little, twelve thousand taels! ”

"Ninety-one thousand taels!"

"One hundred and fifteen thousand taels!"

"Ninety-two thousand taels!"

……

"Ninety-five thousand taels! This is the low line of this official. Jiang Long's face was solemn.

"Deal!"

Mike pretended to be in pain, sighed and nodded.

Although this is the floor price in his heart, Mike is actually very happy.

If you sell the wine here, you don't have to go to the territory of Daqi to meet those officials, not to mention the silver you will give away, and you will have to kowtow everywhere.

And these wines are a lot of money, and there is a chance that something will happen.

Of course, it's a good deal to sell here.

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll come here with the silver to pick up the goods." Jiang Long doesn't have that much cash on his body now.

However, last time, the black-clothed guard of the church filtered the brine salt, and he had already said that he could still support the silver.

Seeing Jiang Long so happy, Mike was also very happy, and immediately opened his mouth to invite Jiang Long to the restaurant for a meal.

Jianglong knows the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish.

Many of the soldiers guarding the city gate, as well as the small officials in the county office, helped people with errands, and were invited to dinner, or to get some benefits, but he turned a blind eye.

Now that Mike has a treat, he didn't refuse.

To be a clean official, to be a good official, you can't be too rigid and serious.

Such a person will give people a feeling that they are not easy to deal with, and they are in a high position, then it will have an impact on the development of the land they govern.

Seeing that Jiang Long nodded and agreed, Mike hurriedly led the way in front of his head.

When he visited Lingtong County, he had already memorized where the largest restaurant was located.
