Chapter 55: Sowing the Seeds [5,000 Recommended Votes Plus Update]

Did Lan Li cheat Zixuan out of money?

All the way to the outside of the house.

Fu Lu watched the master and servant walk away, and after closing the door, he found Lan Li again.

Inside the study.

Lan Li was reading a general history of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which recorded some of the evolution of oracle bone inscriptions and Song scripts.

Seeing that Lan Li was reading, Fu Lu coughed lightly.

Lan Li pulled his gaze away from the book: "People sent away?" ”

"Returning to the son, send it away."

"They didn't complain about anything, did they?"

Lan Li asked with interest:

"The spiritual materials worth six thousand taels of silver were actually only exchanged for thirty refined iron weapons.

If I hadn't believed you, I suspect they would have turned their backs. ”

"Childe, we didn't treat people badly, even if they searched the entire Great Song Dynasty, they wouldn't find merchants with higher bids than us."

"Oh? Why? ”

"This...."

A smile appeared on Fu Lu's old face, and he looked quite confident:

"Childe is free to go up the mountain to practice, and he may not be very clear about some worldly things."

"Getting to the point."

"Ahem..."

Choked by Lan Li, Fu Lu coughed twice: "The price we offered is two and a half times higher than the market price."

This is not what our family said, but all the businessmen in the entire Great Song Dynasty, everyone is the same rule.

As long as they don't have my Da Song's household registration certificate on them, then the things in their hands are only worth this price! ”

Lan Li looked at him thoughtfully: "Is it so earned?" ”

Seeing that Lan Li didn't seem to care, Fu Lu smiled bitterly: "Childe, this is the price that our generations of businessmen have paved with their lives, and every cent of income is stained with the blood of the big guys, and no one will break the rules."

Please also abide by these and think more about those who pave the way for the big guys with their lives.

Don't do anything whimsical.

If not, I'm afraid my Lan family will become the public enemy of all the merchants in the world..."

"Don't worry, I won't break the rules."

Seeing that what Fu Lu said was serious, Lan Li shook his head and dispelled the unformed thought in his mind.

"That's good, that's good."

As he spoke, Old Fulu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He was really afraid that Lan Lise would make Zhi faint and do those taboo things because of a beautiful brute girl.

If Lan Li really did it, not only would the other merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty be hostile to the Lan family, but even those merchants who ate under the Lan family would choose to leave.

Rules are rules, and those who disrupt the market will never end well.

It's like the deal you just made.

Thirty fine iron weapons are worth about three hundred taels in the Great Song Dynasty, and if they are sold to the north, the price will increase tenfold, and the merchants who carry the goods are willing to risk their lives and go farther, and they can also go up on this tenfold.

As for the cost of a fine iron knife?

It is calculated in the mode of the Lanjia assembly line.

Iron ore, fuel, labor, and loss, together, the cost price of a fine iron knife is less than two taels....

This kind of price is not only recognized by the Southern Song Dynasty, but also recognized by all countries that have established diplomatic relations with the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, it was this kind of profiteering that the Southern Song Dynasty court also banned the outflow of weapons.

Every year, most of the goods that flow out of the government are luxury goods made of silk, pottery, edible salt and some precious metals.

Even the weapons sold to the Mongols, Jin, and Liao were mostly ordinary iron, not refined iron.

Some of the great nobles in the north may be able to collect some fine iron weapons from the battlefield, or recruit Han craftsmen to deploy armed.

As for small countries such as Nanzhao, Dali, Tubo, and Western Xia?

Most of the weapons in your hands are a mix of bronze and cast iron weapons!

Without quenching, just smash it out with a hammer!

Because they just want to buy them, and no one will sell them.

As for the reason?

No commander would want his soldiers to use bronze swords to fight an enemy with a fine iron sword.

On the battlefield, the weapon is cut in two by the enemy, and the second knife is the neck.

It's no different from sending people to death.

Just those fine iron weapons that Zixuan bought in the Lan family today, after she took back Nanzhao, they became synonymous with divine weapons......

......

Lan Li chatted with Fu Lu and learned about the general operation of the market.

After being popularized by Flu Science for a while, I also had to sigh at the methods of these businessmen.

This is all knowledge that he, the head of the family, needs to know.

Chatting happily, Lan Li's lunch was eaten with Fu Lu in the study.

Because of this, it also made Green Yi a little unhappy.

Later, when she was left to eat with Lan Li, she could be regarded as smiling.

At the dining table, Lan Li looked at the little appearance of the green clothes who looked at himself after taking a bite, and felt sorry in his heart.

If this is changed to the previous life, my girlfriend is afraid that she has already broken up, right? ’

Ahem.

In ancient times, it was okay to be really indulgent to men, but women were praised casually, and they immediately forgot everything, and they were still dead set on treating you.....

Wait until after lunch.

Lan Li asked Green to go out to bask in the sun with Miss Meow in her arms.

He himself had finally made up his mind to plant that seed.

Unaccompanied, Lan Li returned to the bedroom alone.

In the middle of the front yard of the bedroom, a few stone slabs were lifted and a bowl-sized pit was dug.

He then took out the humanoid sacred fruit wrapped in a red cloth from the wooden box.

Looking at the holy fruit in his hand, he thought about the things he had encountered in Muhe City.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of Lan Li's mouth.

"I think you were good to me at the beginning, and now it's my turn to make good on my promise."

Throw the seeds into the pit.

Lan Li got some more soil and filled the pit again.

"Go ahead, I hope you won't be so unlucky in this life, and you can always be safe.

Uh-huh.

At least you shouldn't be in trouble until this Blue Mansion falls.

It won't be eaten by something messy cut out of the ground.

It's worthy of you. ”

As he spoke, Lan Li personally used bricks and stones to build a small garden around it.

If Lan Li felt that it was not surprising, this holy fruit would settle down in Lan Mansion, and in a few decades, a new spiritual wisdom would be reborn on the fruit tree.

At that time, it may also provide some shelter for the Lan family who planted it with their own hands?

After working for a while, Lan Li poured some water on the holy fruit, and it wasn't until the sun was about to set that he arranged the holy fruit.

His hands were covered with mud, and Lan Li didn't care.

Just sat down by the flower pond he had built and whispered into the clearing: "Don't worry, I will water you from time to time in the future."

In my absence, there is still a green coat, and I will tell her to take care of you every day.

Water and fertilize you.

I hope you grow up soon.

In the summer, you can produce a few fruits for me to taste....."
