Volume 1 Chapter 231 The Pioneer of the Tea and Horse Trade
"A little too high?" Ben Gongzi silently calculated, if it is fifty times higher, then a pound of spirits is almost two dollars, it seems to be a bit high, and ordinary people will buy it when they are nervous, of course, there are more people who are nervous in later generations, and there are many people who spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a bottle of wine.
And the price of my two pounds of wine is not more suitable than the national liquor Moutai in later generations.
"It's not just Gao Gongzi, this is even darker than the black shop you said." Li Yuanfang smashed his mouth and said with a look of awe on his face. As a result, he was slapped by his father, and he covered his head aggrievedly and didn't dare to squeak again.
And Li Yan has returned to his usual seriousness. "Childe, is it two pounds? In fact, according to the old opinion, it is not an exaggeration, I remember that when we were on the grassland, there was a tribal leader who even wanted to exchange good horses for our wine, but unfortunately, at that time, we couldn't even have a jar left. ”
"No, when I think about it again, the industry under my son's hands has earned a lot of money, and if I just ask for money, it's really boring." Hearing Li Yan's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in my son's head, and his eyes turned around several times, and finally came up with a good idea: "Don't discount money, change horses." What do you think of 50 catties of wine or 100 catties of wine for a horse? ”
With a bang, I heard the sound of Li Yuanfang's chin falling on the floor, and although the expression of Li Yuanfang, the old housekeeper, was not exaggerated just now, it was not much better, and after a while, he came back to his senses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and asked cautiously towards his son: "Fifty catties or one hundred catties of such liquor for a horse?" ”
"Yes, change horses, if it's a crossbow horse, it's fifty pounds, if it's a good horse, it's a hundred pounds. In addition, wool, use silk cloth to change, specific, you first ask the price of wool products on the market, and then discuss. But when it comes to the exchange of spirits for horses, you should remind them first. ”
The more I think about it, the more excited I become, yes, anyway, the steaming technique is what my son has, according to the old housekeeper, those Turkic barbarians are crazy and obsessed with liquor, and they are not dumb to drugs, so good, even if Ben Gongzi's spirits can't be sold at the price of drugs, then at least they have to be made into the price of luxury goods, otherwise, I'm really sorry for my son's invention and creation.
If a hundred catties of grain can really be exchanged for a horse, even if it is a crossbow horse that is more than fifteen years old, I suspect that I am very likely to wake up with a smile in my dreams, you must know that a stone of grain is only six or seven hundred yuan at most, and a stone of grain is at least one hundred and ten catties of grain, that is to say, this son only needs to spend six or seven hundred yuan to be able to exchange for a crossbow horse.
In places such as Luoyang and Chang'an, the value of a crossbow horse is at least between two hundred and fifty and three hundred guan. If the spirits of two stones of grain can be exchanged for a good horse worth nearly a thousand yuan, this business done by Ben Gongzi will definitely be a million profits.
Grandma's, there will be a tea and horse trade in the future, and this son came, with the billowing smoke and dust of the traverser, with an indomitable momentum, viciously waving a big blade, and cutting the historical term of tea and horse trade into a wine and horse trade, wow haha.
After discussing the important matters, Ben Gongzi walked to the stables in the backyard with a relaxed and brisk step, well, naturally he wanted to take a look at the gifts sent to Ben Gongzi by the old barbarian son of Shibi Khan.
The closer to the stable, the brighter the eyes of this son, in addition to the Dawan horse given to this son by Shibi Khan, there are also the mounts of Kang Sheli and others, but Ben Gongzi can see at a glance which are the Dawan horses that Shibi Khan gave to this son.
Not for anything else, just for the fact that under the sun, the hair on the bodies of these tall and divine horses exuded a faint golden light, as if they were covered with a thin blanket of golden retrievers. It was extraordinarily attractive, and Li Yuanfang directly let out an exaggerated exclamation, staring at those big horses with his eyes, for fear that in the blink of an eye, these beautiful and tall horses would fly away.
And the Persian, who was washing the bodies of these great horses, with a curly beard, respectfully stroked his chest towards his son.
"Twenty-one, enough for the future, to form a beautiful and large herd of horses, enough." Ben Gongzi looked at these beautiful animals who were looking at me vigilantly, and his mouth was almost ready to get off the tennis ball.
"Childe, are you saying that these horses are not used?" Hearing my words, Li Yuanfang was like a flea in his clothes, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Nonsense, use it, where can I find it when I run out?" Ben Gongzi glanced at this thing fiercely and said angrily. When my eyes fell on these Dawan horses, they instantly became extremely gentle, and I didn't want to frighten these cute Dawan horses. In the future, this son needs to establish a Dawan horse bloodline bank on the land of China.
Let these excellent horse breeds not be wiped out in the river of history because of hybridization, think about it, when the big man got two or three thousand such horses, but in the end, all of them were in the hybridization and completely disappeared, how could Ben Gongzi be so stupid.
"Do you just look at it like that?" Li Yuanfang was still dissatisfied, very angry, very aggrieved, and very sad, in exchange for only a blank eye from his son. "Of course, it's not just for viewing, but it's not for going to the battlefield." Such an expensive horse, take it to the battlefield, what if it is braided? Didn't my son lose so much that he didn't even have his blood?
Such horses are suitable for showing their identity, think about the later generations of Western barbarians, always like to get a few thoroughbred horses out to raise their eyes, in order to show that their family is as old as the bloodline of horses, and even in the Olympic Games, those horse riders are still wearing a set of riding clothes that belong to the tuxedo, in order to show loyalty to restore this ancient sport.
Yes, horse racing, grandma's, this son didn't expect this beautiful sport that made the people of the world boil and scream and scream?
When I think of all kinds of equestrian sports, then these beautiful and elegant animals will surely bring me unimaginable wealth in the moment, and in my eyes, it is simply a gold ingot that can walk.
"Honorable master, do you mean that you want them to form a new race?" One of them, Persia, or Da Shi or Da Wan Ma Jue, asked me with a wink of light brown eyes. Well, the Chinese dialect is very jerky, just like the raw rice, which is more serious than Tang Sheli's accent, but at least this son finally understands it.
"Of course, by the way, what do you call me?" Ben Gongzi looked at this guy and said with some doubts.
"The Great Khan gave us to you, and from that time on, you are our supreme master." This Ma Jue is very serious.
“… I'm not used to hearing the word master, so you can just call me son. "If it's a beautiful girl wearing a maid's costume and calling me delicately to call the master, my son will accept it very comfortably, but a big guy calls me like this, which really makes me uncomfortable.
After looking at the horses, he then instructed Li Yuanfang to take the two Dawan horses and the twenty-one Dawan horses back to the mansion of the prince first, where they could be more carefully cared for.
"Fifty catties for a crossbow horse, this is absolutely not good, no matter how many horses we have on the grassland, we can't afford such luxury, at least a hundred catties." Kang Garlic was very angry, and the Turks next to him also hated the same enemy.
The problem is who Ben Gongzi is afraid of at the negotiation table, this is the home field, and to tell the truth, now the horses, for the current Ben Gongzi, are enough, there can be more, naturally better, if not, it will not be bad.
As the saying goes, if you have no desire, you are just right, and my son is such a righteous gentleman who is not tempted by external things and money, so I don't care about the anger of these guys, and you have the ability to bite me?
"Childe, your father and Shibi Khan's father are sworn brothers, it is precisely because of this affection that Shibi Khan will be so generous, not only bought you so many horses at a price lower than that of the Central Plains, but also hopes to be able to do business for a long time, which is good for you and us, why should you be so?" Tang Sheali roared for a long time, and saw that Ben Gongzi didn't even bother to roll his eyelids, just sitting there, admiring the script he had just written, and couldn't help but be deflated, and could only speak well.
"A few distinguished guests, it's not that my son is unwilling to agree, but it's too much." This son is like seeing Grande with two wicks burning, and his expression is extremely sad and reluctant. Seeing that Li Yuanfang's face was so red, he was so angry that Lao Tzu kicked it over. "Go, get some food and drinks for Ben Gongzi, don't you see that Ben Gongzi's guests haven't had lunch yet?"
Looking at Li Yuanfang's staggered back, Ben Gongzi turned his head and sat down with a light sigh. "Ladies and gentlemen, although it is said that grain is quite appropriate compared to horses, but the problem is that the liquor made by this son needs not only grain, but also some very rare and valuable bait, otherwise, why can't others make such wine from grain, only I can."
These people looked at each other and looked at each other, as if they were exchanging opinions, and Ben Gongzi didn't bother to pay attention to it, but chatted with Li Yan. And until Li Yuanfang brought wine and food, they couldn't discuss a result.
The wine brought now is naturally not the spirit used to entertain guests yesterday, but an ordinary cloudy wine, well, although this thing tastes sweet and sour and delicious, and has a fragrant taste, these Turks, who have already tasted the wonderful feeling of spirits, really do not have much interest in this wine.
In the end, this luncheon was hastily understood, but Ben Gongzi still told them very enthusiastically that they would continue to discuss, Ben Gongzi was fine, even if the deal failed, benevolence and righteousness were there, and in addition, they could also take the opportunity to take a good look at Luoyang City, one of the largest cities in the world.
