So when Zheng Ning saw Huo Gang who rushed back, his face was full of admiration.

"I've seen General Huo." Zheng Ning arched his hand at Huo Gang first.

Huo Gang also arched his hand to Zheng Ning, and then asked with a smile: "Team Leader Zheng is really a person who keeps his promise, but is Team Leader Zheng going to set off again?" ”

Of course, Huo Gang knew that these things must be for him, but there were some things that always had to be said by others.

"No, no, no, General Huo, these things are for General Huo." Zheng Ning immediately said with a smile.

"Really? I don't remember that I could buy so much for 50 yuan. Huo Gang looked at the huge caravan and said.

"Of course, 50 guan can't buy so much, but the rest of the things should be considered as gifts from us to General Huo." Zheng Ning said with a smile.

"Really? I don't know what Team Leader Zheng transported this time? Huo Gang looked at Zheng Ning and asked noncommittally.

"The silk silk that General Huo asked for was a total of 100 horses, the amount of salt was less than 50 stones, and the rest were basically rice, about 200 stones, as well as some grain seeds, and some pen, ink, paper and inkstones for the general." Zheng Ning immediately replied to Huo Gang.

Huo Gang nodded slightly, he could probably understand the prices in the Western Regions from Ake City, for example, the price of silk and salt was not cheap, especially salt was a valuable thing in ancient times.

"Tell me about the prices." Huo Gang asked directly.

"This silk silk is about 300 wen for a horse, because this is a relatively ordinary cloth, and a stone of salt is about 300 wen, and a stone of rice is also about 300 wen. The price of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is relatively fragmentary, so there is no need to say much, and the general does not have to care. Zheng Ning said with a smile.

Huo Gang was probably stunned for a moment when he heard this price, "How much do you say is a stone of salt?" ”

"Three hundred texts." Zheng Ning gave a price.

Huo Gang was a little confused, didn't he say that the price of salt in ancient times was very expensive? How is the price the same as rice. One stone is 300 Wen, you must know that one stone in the Tang Dynasty is about equal to 53 kilograms, which means that a pound of salt is about 3 Wen, which is called expensive?

If it weren't for Zheng Ning's repeated confirmation, Huo Gang would have thought that he had heard it wrong, this was different from what he thought, at the price that Huo Gang thought, the price of salt would have to be at least ten times higher, or even dozens of times before it would conform to the ancient impression that salt was expensive.

However, the price of this rice was a bit unexpected by Huo Gang, one stone cost 300 wen, and the price of this rice was higher than Huo Gang thought.

But Huo Gang remembered that the price of rice in the first year of Zhenguan was indeed relatively expensive, as if after three years of Zhenguan, the price of rice was about 3 wen yuan per bucket, and one stone was 30 wen, only about one-tenth of it.

However, in the second half of this year, the price of rice in the Tang Dynasty seems to be rising, if Huo Gang is not mistaken, there was a famine in the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a saying that the rice is worth the silk, and now the price is obviously not so expensive.

But the price of salt was solid beyond Huo Gang's expectations, but Zheng Ning shouldn't lie to him in this regard.

According to the price given by Zheng Ning, Huo Gang roughly calculated that these three things would cost more than 100 yuan, not counting other pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the like.

"Since Leader Zheng has already brought the things, then I will accept them disrespectfully, but I want to know, can I buy some things with Leader Zheng?" Huo Gang didn't dwell on this price, but asked very simply.

"Of course, we are merchants, the general wants to buy, of course we will do this business." Zheng Ning said very simply.

"Okay, I want to buy some seeds from Team Leader Zheng here, such as seeds of pepper and other spices, the quantity is not too much, and I want some seeds of bamboo grown in Liangzhou, seeds of white stacks, charcoal, a large amount of charcoal, and the slag left after ironmaking, Team Leader Zheng will give a price." Huo Gang said what he needed very simply.

Huo Gang wanted to buy things from him, which Zheng Ning was not surprised at all, because there was no one in these tribes in the Western Regions who did not buy things from them, not to mention that there were many people in these tribes of Huo Gang, and it was difficult to live in the Western Regions.

But what Zheng Ning never expected was that the things he originally thought Huo Gang bought were nothing more than steel, grain, cloth, paper, tea, and salt, which were necessary on the grassland, but they were not produced.

Among them, except for steel, everything else can be sold, but what Zheng Ning didn't expect was that what Huo Gang bought was fundamentally different from what he thought?! This spice seeds? Do? Do you still want to grow spices in this place? If even such a precious plant as spices can be grown in this place, how can it not grow food?

But if you look at the vicinity of this Yumen Pass, it seems that you can grow food? Even if it can be planted, the yield is probably pitifully low.

As for bamboo, these seeds are ...... It was even more unexpected for Zheng Ning.

He can also understand charcoal, after all, for the winter, the Turks also need charcoal, so this slag ...... What the hell do you want it for? And Zheng Ning originally thought that Huo Gang would bring it up, but Huo Gang didn't mention it at all.

Iron tools can never be sold, although it is not that the Turks do not know how to make iron, such as the Rouran and other tribes belonging to the Turks, are famous for iron-making, but they lack materials on the steppe and cannot find so much iron ore, so iron-making is not so easy.

For the Turks, iron was always lacking.

"These are what the general said...... Of course, if the amount of seeds the general asks for is not large, I can give them to the general for free. Zheng Ning thought about it, then gritted his teeth and simply agreed.

"If it's bamboo, I can also help the general find it, but whether it will survive or not, then I can't guarantee it. There are not many white stacks, so it shouldn't be a big problem to find them. Among these things, the largest amount of charcoal that the general asked for was charcoal, and the price of one stone was about 600 wen. Zheng Ning quickly sorted out his thoughts and quoted a price evil.

"Slag, this thing was supposed to be free, mainly for this freight." Zheng Ning hesitated, the slag thing was really pulled casually.

"In this way, Team Leader Zheng can go back and organize people to transport a batch of slag over, and then calculate the labor cost and freight cost, and then calculate the appropriate profit and give me a price, how about it." Huo Gang looked at Zheng Ning and said.

"Absolutely." Seeing that Huo Gang was serious, although he didn't know what Huo Gang wanted to do, Zheng Ning simply agreed.

"Then, since we are talking about business, I buy things with Team Leader Zheng, and I naturally want to sell some things, I don't know if Team Leader Zheng will buy horses? Steed. Huo Gang asked lightly.
