Chapter 47: A Night Visit to the Pier
In the small shop at Beicheng Wharf, Zhang Tie listened to the conversation between the three people next to him while eating his meal.
Salt is a basic item in people's lives, and Zhang Tie has begun to store it at the beginning.
Salt is not brushed out every week in the grocery store, sometimes there is none, sometimes 3 or 4 are brushed, and at most, there are 5 of them, on average, there are 3 bags of salt per week, and each bag of salt is 160 system coins in the grocery store.
So far, there are nearly 80 bags of salt, and one bag weighs 100 pounds. Occupies 2 slots, each of which can overlap up to 50.
Zhang Tie not only stored salt, but also other sundries, such as iron and the like, which were all ready to be traded, but unfortunately there was no salt certificate, so he did not dare to sell them in Yan China.
Now I happened to meet the conversation of the person at the next table, which made Zhang Tie's heart move instantly.
Sandwiched a slice of beef, Zhang Tie thought while chewing. "If you sell it to him, wouldn't it be perfect, you don't have to worry about the sales route, and you don't have to worry about being found by the government."
With this kind of thought, Zhang Tie paid more attention to the conversation of Li Dagua and others.
And at this time, Li Dagua was also comforting his guards, in fact, he was also comforting himself, "It's okay, isn't it just a few thousand catties of salt missing?" It doesn't matter, take a night's rest today, and go to buy other supplies tomorrow to make the same money. ”
On the surface, it doesn't matter, but in fact, Li Dagua's heart is very depressed, but he doesn't want to show it in front of his subordinates, "If there is salt, who would want other sundries!" Ay! ”
Salt is a scarce material in Zhao Kingdom, and it is sold several times more expensive than that of Yan Kingdom, and it is completely a violent profit-making thing, but it is a pity that Li Donggua is not blessed to enjoy.
In a bad mood, naturally they couldn't eat, so Li Donggua and the three of them ate a few bites of food casually and hurried away.
And Zhang Tie, who had been paying attention to them, also kept watching them until he got on a merchant ship on the dock, secretly remembering the appearance and location of this merchant ship, Zhang Tie was going to visit tonight.
Soon Zhang Tie and the others also finished eating, and after running for a day, everyone felt that it was almost over, and they returned to the inn.
Everyone returned to the inn, separated from each other, and each returned to his own room, and the room of the four Lewis was the same as Luo Long's room on the third floor.
Back in the room, Zhang Tie closed the door, sat down on the chair, and took out a bag of salt from the inventory.
A few seconds later, a bag of 100 catties of salt appeared in front of Zhang Tie, and Zhang Shun on the side first looked at Zhang Tie's movements in puzzlement, and then remembered something, thoughtfully.
Zhang Tie took out a small money bag the size of a palm, which was small and durable, with fine workmanship, and bought it when he came back, and bought seven or eight in a row, on the one hand, to hold salt, and on the other hand, to bring it to his family.
The bag of salt is gray and white, made of fine fabric, and both ends are sewn with needles and threads, which is difficult to make by hand.
Pick up the needle and thread on one side at will, find the thread, untie the knots at the thread, pull it a little hard, the needle and thread are all pulled out little by little, and the mouth of the salt bag is opened, revealing the refined salt of the white flowers.
Pick up a handful of refined salt, put it in the pre-prepared money bag, fill half of the money bag, tie the knot, and then retract the entire salt bag back into the inventory.
Zhang Shun on the side had been quietly watching everything Zhang Tie had done, and when Zhang Tie was done, he whispered: "Brother, are you going to sell salt to that businessman of Zhao State?" ”
Throwing the money bag, the refined salt made a slight friction sound inside, and Zhang Tie turned his head to look at Zhang Shun.
"Well, that's right, I have stored 80 bags of this salt, and I usually can't find a buyer, and I don't dare to sell it, but this time I can meet businessmen from other countries, so I naturally can't let go of this opportunity."
Hearing that there were 80 bags, Zhang Shun was surprised, it was 12,800 followers, but he also knew that Zhang Tie had things that they did not have, and it was easier to earn followers than them.
"Brother has so much salt! That's got to be a lot of money. ”
Zhang Tie smiled, raised his eyebrows, and with a weird smile on his face, he stared at Zhang Shun and smiled in a straight line.
"Hehe, I earned money this time, and when you finish the township exam this time, I will go home and find you a beautiful daughter-in-law."
The sun was about to set, and the city gate was about to close, so Zhang Tie disguised himself and went out of the city gate before it closed.
Zhang Tie, who went out of the city gate, first went to the dock to observe, and then found a no-man's place to squat, waiting for dark.
As soon as the sun set, night soon descended on the earth, and the faint moonlight emitted a cold white light, hanging high in the sky.
At night, the wharf is particularly deserted, the water on the river is calm, several merchant ships are parked on the river, and there are soldiers in armor patrolling the shore from time to time.
As a cornucopia of the country, security is very important, each wharf in Yan country, set up a military barracks, to ensure the safety of the wharf, only a few people stand guard during the day, only at night to arrange a few teams of soldiers to patrol.
The barracks are very close to each other, and once an accident occurs, you can quickly reach the place of the incident.
Zhang Tie was lurking in the grass, and his body was already equipped with equipment such as night walkers, weapons. Pojun still didn't bring it, only a dagger.
The grass was still a little hot in summer, and Zhang Tie looked ahead, actually looking at the map in the system, observing the route of the patrol soldiers, and whether there were any invisible sentry posts.
Looking up at the dock from time to time, while comparing the system map, I quickly figured out the situation of the pier and made a route to the destination.
Looking at the soldiers in the distance in front of them, they all shook their heads and snorted. Zhang Tie shook his head secretly.
"It seems that there are very few accidents at the dock, not only are there no secret posts, but even the soldiers on patrol are just following the rules, and they are not patrolling seriously, and it seems that not every soldier will seriously carry out orders."
Crawling out of the grass, Zhang Tie shook first, and many insects fell, staying in the grass in summer still made Zhang Tie feel uncomfortable, there were too many insects.
Facing the planned route, Zhang Tie cautiously lurked towards the merchant ship all the way, even if he knew that the soldiers patrolled very casually, and there was no secret outpost, Zhang Tie also seemed very careful, and there was a way to be careful in everything.
It is said that I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. Zhang Tie didn't want the person with wet shoes to be himself.
Dodging teams of patrolling soldiers, Zhang Tie finally came to his destination, the merchant ship where the merchants of Zhao State were.
I checked the map again, and focused on the situation of the people on the ship in front of me, there were many gray spots on the merchant ship, but Zhang Tie only glanced at it and locked on the target.
The boss naturally has the privileges and status of the boss, and according to the situation of the gray dot's division and the structure of the merchant ship, it is not difficult to see that the top cabin is the place where Li Dagua, a merchant of Zhao State, rests.
