Chapter Ninety-One: Sackcloth
Outside the store, three people covered in mud and grizzled were dutifully dedicated~ down.
Faced with the complicated situation at the dock, the guy said politely and firmly: "Masters, is there anything wrong?" β
"Shopping, taking a shower." Shen Cong wiped a handful of mud from his face and spat fiercely.
Xiang Xin was embarrassed to cover half of her face with her robe, it was she who brought the humanoid balloon straight into the quagmire, fortunately, otherwise someone would have to be concussed.
No matter how thick the gas is, it can block the soil, and the three of them are like taking a mud bath, learning to roll around the wild boar three times in it, and crawling out with a chirp, but fortunately, the flight ticket they carry with them is not ordinary paper, and it can still be retained.
The guy looked the three of them up and down, but he didn't put down the hand that was stopping, and still said politely: "There is a big bathhouse a few steps ahead, and there is an inn on the street in front, you ......"
Shen Cong impatiently took out a flying ticket from his sleeve, and without looking at the denomination, he threw it to him and said: "The inn is too far away, I don't like the big soup pool, I know that you have a place for merchants to settle here, go find three rooms to come out." β
This shop is not big, after all, it is in the capital trade place, the guy can check the flight ticket himself, it looks like it is real, and his face is more and more soothing: "Master, please wait first......"
Shen Cong didn't listen to it, and rushed straight up, no matter how rich the ordinary businessman's family is, where is the power of his Shen family, even a store like the Shen family's pawnshop is just a business run by the people in the family. How could he take a shopkeeper in his eyes.
Holding 1co~ two silver in his hand, the flying meter became powerless if he wanted to block it again, but it was a pity that Xiang Xin, who was dirty, did not give him a chance to push and half-push, and his hand moved slightly, and a heat wave blew him into the yard more than ten meters away.
"No one will die." Cheng Jinzhou said behind him.
"Where is there such a place to die?" Xiang Xin said and looked at his Earth Star Array and said, "There is too much Earth Star Power today. The next step is to save a bit. β
"Can you get a fixed number of star forces every day?"
"It's calculated in a time loop. It's usually a day. Xiang Xin twisted his body and said: "As long as the star array exists." Every hour, the power of the new earth is injected into it. I can have a total of 12o star power every day. At most. It can only save so much earth star power, and it is necessary to change it to a better star array. β
Cheng Jinzhou touched his chin. Looking for a plausible explanation: "It's just a day has passed." The position of the planet connected to the star array changes too much. Can't link the generated energy? β
Xiang Xin has his own beliefs. Listen nonchalantly. But they ignored him.
Shen Cong kicked up the guy who had fallen next to the well and asked him to find a house, and when a few people arrived in the backyard, they saw a guy in silk hurrying over, followed by four or five family members, carrying eyebrow sticks and waiting at the door.
"A few people, the little old man is so polite." The standard opera lines, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but laugh, turned his head, and saw that it was a short and sturdy old man, with a slightly hunched back and a silver sideburns beard, and his clothes were satin cotton clothes, but he didn't look like an ordinary shopkeeper.
"Say it quickly." Although Shen Cong was rude, he finally stood on the spot.
The old man introduced himself with a smile on his face: "In Xia Zhulin, I am the owner of this shop. I prepared bath water for three people, please. β
Naturally, a guy led the three of them over, and when they passed through a small courtyard, they saw a separate courtyard hidden behind the building, and the environment was much better than before.
Cheng Jinzhou rushed into the room, took off his clothes in three or two clicks, and the mud in the field was not as good as when he was playing, there were not only gravel and clay, but also small insects and loaches, and there were not a few rotten plants and unknown truths. He stood in the open space and began to shake his body like a drenched wild dog.
There is no beautiful maid to serve the disappointing large bucket of water that is too warm and still makes people wash very pleasantly, but there are also brand new silk clothes at the door and their materials, the price is afraid to be more than 1 yuan.
Xiao Cheng wouldn't think that this was his own Wang Baqi to look at the appearance of this shopkeeper, about the star warlock's methods are more real, although the heat wave blows away the other party's means is simple, but not any star warlock apprentice can do it. For a small shop of this size, a somewhat qualified astral warlock apprentice is enough trouble.
Taking out the flying ticket in the dirty clothes and putting it away, Cheng Jinzhou flicked his sleeves and walked to the front hall, the man in the Great Xia Dynasty was mainly a bundle, but he didn't know how to take care of it himself, so he let it float on his shoulder, and he felt that he was very artistic.
In the front hall, Shen Cong and Xiang Xin had already drunk hot tea and had a good conversation with Na Zhu Lin.
"Jinzhou, come here, Mr. Zhu is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Rites and Religions who has traveled all over the country, and he was also the senior brother of Guangwenguan." Shen Cong shouted when he saw Cheng Jinzhou.
In his opinion, a scholar is much more noble than a wealthy businessman.
Cheng Jinzhou put on a look of admiration for a long time, and asked by the way: "Mr. once studied in the Guangwen Museum, why did he open this shop again?" β
Shang Jia is still obviously discriminated against in Great Xia, but he is not as strict as in later generations, ordinary people will not take this road, not to mention that the students of Guangwenguan are either excellent in their studies or the families of officials, even if they fail in the imperial examination, but as long as they have the heart, a person will always be unable to escape.
Zhu Lin put down the teacup with a smile, touched his beard with his hand and said: "I just wanted to go to the extreme west to see, but I couldn't find a ship, so I traveled around, hoping to get something, and then I spent all the coils in my hand, so I had to sell my ancestral house to do business, and now I have the money, but I don't have the ambition of the day." β
Cheng Jinzhou
laughed, without making any comments, he watched more novels and movies, and he was more shocked by this, so he went straight to the point and said: "I heard that the Zhu family firm has all kinds of goods for sale, can you go and have a look?" β
"Just tell the guys to fetch it." Zhu Lin said generously: "Some things are transported for long distances and are not clean. β
"It's fine." Cheng Jinzhou stood up as he spoke, not giving him a chance to refuse.
Shen Cong and Xiang Xin were both accompanying customers, so they simply followed behind Cheng Jinzhou and waited for the guy to deliver the goods.
"What exactly does Mr. Cheng want to buy?" The types and quantities of goods are still counted as trade secrets, and Zhu Lin doesn't want to let Cheng Jinzhou know about it.
"Silk, ore, silk cloth, food, wood, coal......" Cheng Jinzhou said casually.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and finally shook his head, but he still asked the guy to open a position and slowly inspect it. His store could not have dealt with such fancy items, but there were them.
Cheng Jinzhou moved his ring slightly, avoiding everyone's gaze, and asked, "Mr. Ke, help me scan these materials and give a quote." β
"Scanning is energy-intensive." Customer service O1 does not refuse service.
"What's the price?"
"As before, 2 stars per cubic meter."
This reminded Cheng Jin of the timber deal that was not cheap, shrugged his shoulders and agreed, so he pointed to the salt in front of him and said, "Your purchase price?" β
"Star dollars per ton."
Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, thinking that if he didn't have the status of a nobleman, he could be a smuggler of salt. In the Great Xia Dynasty, the price of salt ranged from 2ooo wen to 1 wen per stone, on average, at least 2o wen per catty, and the quality was extremely poor, and the purchase price given by customer service o1o was often his lowest selling price was sold directly in places where the price of salt was high, and it was not difficult to make money.
The first commodity asked was theoretically profitable, which greatly increased Cheng Jinzhou's interest, and the more active he became.
The merchants of the Great Xia Dynasty mainly dealt in six bulk commodities, namely tea cloth, medicinal materials and leather goods. In fact, from a closer look, after all, it is a table of low production levels, and people's main needs are still concentrated on clothing and food, among which the types of grain and cloth are also the most.
Zhujia store is equivalent to the role of a small batch of merchants, mainly operating the first four, the variety is quite complete, Cheng Jinzhou every time he sees the same, he asks the guy a price, and asks the customer service c1o a price is too late to consider one by one, only remember the price.
When he sat back in his room, Jinju had time to take out the notebook and check it slowly.
"Tea per ton of Xingyuan ......"
"Cotton is 85 wen per tael, ...... yuan per ton"
"Every horse of yarn has always changed stars and yuan......"
Counting up, there are many ways to convert Xingyuan into huΓ n, but there are very few who want to be able to turn Xingyuan into high-priced Xingyuan.
Cheng Jinzhou looked from top to bottom, and the pen suddenly hovered on the linen cloth and did not move.
"Every piece of linen is exchanged for stars."
This price is already twice that of grain.
"Boss, how much burlap do you have here?" The linen cloth is subdivided into several types, but the prices are almost the same, and Cheng Jinzhou doesn't really care.
The finest brocade costs 18 taels per tael, and each horse costs as much as 1, while the cheapest linen cloth can be bought for only two hundredths, and of course, one cannot expect too much from its rough quality.
Every year, the imperial court buys more than 70,000 pieces of linen cloth in the hemp-producing areas, and even so, the linen cloth can still be circulated in the market at the market price, which is why its production is huge. The price is cheap and sufficient, and it is not an important strategic resource, but this linen cloth is very suitable for Cheng Jinzhou.
Zhu Lin had already taken out the small ledger, and quickly flipped to it: "There are still horses on the West Wharf." β
For the merchants in the capital, this number is very small.
Cheng Jinzhou calculated in his heart, and said: Horse, how much cheaper can it be? β
According to the standard of one tael of silver and 2 pieces of money, the horse also needs 8oo ~ two pieces of silver.
How about the C text? When it came to business, Zhu Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth, but only slightly.
However, linen cloth is mainly the clothing material of lower-class residents, and it has always been a low-profit business, Cheng Jinzhou thought about it and nodded slightly: "Yes." But to deliver to the warehouse I have worked out. β
It takes a day to transport linen cloth by car, and if Cheng Jinzhou steals it, it will be at least half a month's workload, so robbery has always been a very unskilled work, and the real means of making money never need to be so fierce and violent.
Zhu Lin has nothing to do, but Shen Cong is a little disapproving, although his family's property is rich, the Shen family has never participated in the operation. Even Xiang Xin said impatiently after they agreed: "If you have all this time, it's better to write more reports and do some practical things." β
"It's all about doing." Cheng Jinzhou pretended to smile, if he wanted to write a report, he had to copy the book
A few people were talking, when suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves, followed by the sonorous sound of drums. Countless fireworks could also be seen exploding in the sky, and the smell of gunpowder smoke went straight into the house. Without waiting for Cheng Jinzhou to ask, Xiang Xin's face was already excited, and he hurriedly pulled Cheng Jinzhou forward. Shen Cong and Zhu Lin naturally followed closely.
