Chapter 377
There are some things that can only be understood after experiencing them firsthand.
When Su Nianjin first arrived in Nahazha Town, he looked at the scenery of Liao Country from afar, and felt that it was similar to Nahazha Town, where wheat could still be barely grown, why couldn't it be grown in Liao Country just a few miles away?
But after arriving here, Su Nianjin deeply realized that it is so difficult for people to breathe, how can crops grow well?
With this in mind, when Su Nianjin walked around the market, she found that most of the food sold by the vendors was air-dried beef and mutton, and some smelly cheese.
At a stall that seemed to be strong, Su Nianjin stopped, took the air-dried beef and mutton and sniffed it on the tip of her nose, it smelled very fragrant.
"Girl, do you want to? The price is very cheap. The vendor greeted warmly.
To Su Nianjin's surprise, he actually spoke the language of the Great Xia Kingdom, with the accent of Nahazha Town. "Do you know my Great Xia people?"
"This bazaar was originally set up to trade with the merchants of Great Xia." The vendor explained, "It's just that there has been a war recently, and there are fewer merchants from Bactria who come here. Girl, you should be a big family, right? The air-dried beef I have here is very delicious, one pound of meat for five pounds of flour, the price is very fair, right? ”
"Five pounds of flour?" Su Nianjin looked at the degree of air-drying of this beef, about three catties of beef can make one catty of air-dried beef, so calculated, less than one catty of flour and four taels can be exchanged for one catty of beef, which is indeed too cheap. "At such a cheap price, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
The merchant sighed, "There's no way to lose money, I need flour, but none of your merchants in Daxia have the courage to come over recently......"
"If the merchants of Great Xia can't come, you can also go to Great Xia!" Su Nianjin said, "Your price is too cheap, how much do you have to lose." ”
"Alas, there was originally a market in the arch on the border between Great Xia and Liao, but now it has been destroyed, and there are still Great Xia's troops stationed there, so we don't dare to go over......"
"Oh?" Su Nianjin's eyes lit up, "The next meeting will be in three days, right?" Are you going to set up a stall on the other side of the arch? ”
"Huh?" The vendor looked at Su Nianjin in surprise.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry today, and I didn't bring much stuff with me." Su Nianjin said, "But I have a lot of flour, polished rice and brown rice, and cotton or something...... Are you interested? ”
The vendor's eyes lit up, "Do you have an iron pot?" ”
"Iron pot?" Su Nianjin was stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes, but there are not many of them." ”
"Great, my pot needs to be replaced." The vendor excitedly said, "What do you need?" ”
"Me? Wool...... Skins, dried meat, cheese, whatever you want to barter, you can bring it. Su Nianjin said, handing over the small bag of rice he brought today to the vendor, "This is my sincerity, and I will give it to you for free." ”
"Give it to me for free?" The vendor looked at Su Nianjin with a little surprise.
"Well, I really hope that the trade between Liao and Great Xia will resume. I usually do business with small profits but quick turnover, and if I change too few things, I can't make any money at all. ”
The vendor opened the bag in his hand, looked at Bai Huahua's polished rice, and swallowed his saliva. Rice is a very precious thing for them, and there is no doubt that this small bag of rice is very attractive to him, "But is it safe over there in Daxia?" ”
"As long as your Liao army doesn't drive you away, I guarantee that the army of Great Xia won't do anything to you." Su Nianjin promised.
"This ......" The vendor looked at the rice bag in his hand and hesitated.
"You can think about it," Su Nianjin said, "I'll fix the arch and wait for you to come over." ”
After returning from Liao, Su Nianjin first wrote a letter to Song Yuheng, telling him his intentions, and if it did not affect the overall situation, he asked him to withdraw the Xia army at the arch.
Song Yuheng quickly replied to the letter, although the letter only wrote the word "good", it made Su Nianjin secretly happy for a long time.
Even if it is a text without any emotion, as long as he is willing to take care of himself, Su Nianjin feels that his feelings have not reached the point where he has to let go.
She was originally the kind of person who would not give up until she reached her goal, even if she was unscrupulous, she would not give up easily, she had been such a character since she was a child, although she didn't know if she was right to do so.
Sometimes, she will ask herself in the dead of night, the human heart that comes from the calculation is also the human heart, right?
But no matter how she questioned her approach, she planned to boil frogs in warm water to slowly make Song Yuheng like herself again.
She only knew that she was in love with Song Yuheng, and she was unwilling to let go.
The market at the arch was quickly repaired, and when it was time to catch the market, Su Nianjin asked people to move a lot of goods over and wait for the merchants of the Liao Kingdom to trade, but no one came.
Su Nianjin was not discouraged, every time he came to the market, he asked people to go to the market in the arch with the goods to guard, and after a month, someone from Liao finally came over.
Although it was only a little cheese change that day, seeing that there are so many things here and the prices are still cheap, the Arch Market will become lively at the next market.
The business of the bazaar was good, and the people of Nakhaza were happy.
Because the people who stayed behind were all poor families who had no ability. After Su Nianjin came, most of them were organized, the men went to repair the house and tidy up the roads, and the women knitted things, clothes, shoes, and everything at home.
There is no farm work in winter, I originally thought that I might not be able to survive this winter, but now that I have food, Su Nianjin also pays them wages.
Therefore, Su Nianjin has been in Nahazha Town for less than three months, but her prestige in the town is much higher than that of Song Yuheng, the marshal, in their hearts.
Su Nianjin looked at her purse that was getting more and more deflated, and kept counting the accounts. The upfront expenditure was too large, and there was no income, and after a while, the food that Xiaoxiao found for himself was about to arrive, and the silver over there was a huge expenditure.
Su Nianjin sighed, it's really a bit difficult!
"Master," just when Su Nianjin was worried about the account book, Xiao Yu walked in with a solemn face, "When you asked us to clean up the business road, we met a group of bandits. ”
"Bandits?" Su Nianjin looked at Xiao Yu, "Where?" "Bandits and robbers are what businessmen like Su Nianjin are most afraid of, because they will directly threaten the safety of their goods.
"It's in Qishan, thirty miles from here. The bandits there are the tyrants of the northwest, and it is said that the merchants who came to the northwest in the past have been more or less poisoned by them. ”
"Qishan? Did we fight them when we came? ”
