Volume 1 Mishui Donglai Chapter 52 Shang Jia (1)
"Where are the others?"
Ou Xing asked as he turned over and dismounted.
"In the Shaojun Mansion, I was chatting with the old man."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's the Patriarch's Mansion. I'm going to see him. ”
Guo Dajia, surnamed Guo Mingshi, a native of Chenxian County, Guiyang County, Jingzhou Thorn History Department, is a businessman who travels between the Dongting Lake basin and Panyu in the South China Sea.
Guo Shi started from scratch, if you talk about assets, compared with wealthy businessmen like Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the difference is actually far away.
However, because he kept his promises, Tong Suo was not deceived and had a good reputation on the trade road. Therefore, he is often called Guo Dajia.
"District Master."
In front of the patriarch's mansion, Guo Shi, who got the news, was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and the disciples greeted each other.
"Guo Sufeng."
Ou Xing held up Guo Shi with both hands, discussed with him, and walked with him.
Guo Shi is now forty and six, and Ou Xing is eighteen, but the two are friends who have never been friends with each other.
Seven years ago, in the third year of Guanghe (180 AD), at the time of the autumn harvest, friendship was born because of fate or fate.
At that time, the goose-shaped mountain was still the Longtan tiger's den in the eyes of the outside world. Legend has it that the barbarians there killed people and oversold goods, and they were extremely vicious. As a result, business travel is not possible.
Guo Shi, a small businessman who had struggled for half his life, said goodbye to the caravan owner Zhou Chao in the autumn and began to work alone.
Hold the bold to death, starve the faint-hearted. Soon after the small caravan was formed, Guo Shi personally led the team and drove into the small road leading to Ou Jiachong.
The plain flag is flying, and the whistle is noisy. When they hurried to the dock gate, the caravan was welcomed by the people of the district clan.
The barbarians do not know much about fabric printing and dyeing technology, and they also lack dyes. They found the cleanest plain linen cloth that had not yet been cut, tied it to bamboo poles and made flags to welcome the visiting merchant friends.
Guo Shi and others, who were discriminated against by the law and could only wear plain clothes, would be wrong. Is the flying flag specially prepared for us?
The long-lost respect brought the merchants to tears, and the story opened in a beautiful misunderstanding.
Guo Shi's small caravan had a total of seven donkey carts. Among them, five cars carried sea salt from Panyu in the South China Sea, a total of 80 stones. Two wagons carrying the caravan's luggage, some curiosities and small gifts for people.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the four counties of Jingnan did not produce salt, and the price of salt in Luo County was particularly high - the salt sold in the county and city was 1,500 yuan a stone when it was cheap, and thousands of dollars when it was expensive. The price is so high, this salt is even coarse salt with a very bitter taste.
Oujiachong is especially short of salt. The salt transported by Guo Shi's caravan made the Ou clan cheer. It's a pity that the poor Ou Jiachong at that time was not only short of salt, but also very short of money.
After Guo Shi and Ou Zhen discussed, he drove the convoy into the courtyard of the patriarch's mansion and declared that salt should be sold at the price of ten yuan per catty, two hundred and fifty yuan and one jun, and eight hundred yuan per stone, and it could be purchased with gold or money, or bartered with goods of equivalent value.
Although the Ou family is poor, over the years, the road is blue, to open the mountains and forests, and each family has accumulated a lot of mountain goods.
After hearing the news of the sale of "cheap" salt, the people of the district clan came to line up in front of the patriarch's mansion with rhino horns, horns, antlers, ivory, tiger skins, tiger bones and other items that they had accumulated during their hunting.
The people of the district clan first handed over the mountain goods in their hands to Guo Shi and Ou Zhen to jointly identify their fineness, and then exchanged them for bamboo slips with the price written on them, and then exchanged them for salt at the corresponding price with the bamboo slips.
When the autumn harvest was busy, Kou's private school had a long vacation. The handwritten bamboo slips at the trading site were the community stars who were eleven years old at the time and at home during the holidays.
In less than half a day, five truckloads of salt were sold out.
Guo Shi was very happy.
The salt purchased from Panyu was transported to Luo County, and the cost was only 300 yuan per stone. On Guo Shi's trip to the district, the average price of salt was about 950 yuan per stone, and he made a net profit of more than 50,000 yuan.
The mountain freight is sold out of the district, and the high and low can earn another 100,000 to 200,000 yuan - the profit from this trip is equivalent to Guo Shi's income from working in the Zhou Dynasty for five years in the past.
Ou Zhen was also very happy.
This time, he bought salt from Guo Shi, and the whole family saved more than 40,000 yuan. The money saved is enough to buy three more prime-age farming cattle.
Guests and hosts have fun.
Ou Zhen invited the caravan to enjoy a meal at his own home, and there was a banquet in the evening, so that the big guy could rest and relax for a night before setting off.
Guo Shi gave Ou Zhen two stones of salt and a small box of South China Sea pearls as a kickback to facilitate the deal. Even the community star who wrote bamboo slips in his hand, he did not fall behind, and personally presented a bag of caramel as a thank you gift.
"There is a young gentleman in the labor district. The villain Guo Shi hopes that Shaojun will take care of him more in the future. ”
"Good to say, good ......"
?!
Guo Shi?!
Ou Xing raised his head violently, and the hand that went to pick up the sugar bag was also stunned in place.
"Shaojun ~ This caramel is also, but is there anything wrong?"
I haven't seen or eaten the candy yet, and Ou Xing doesn't know if there's anything wrong. However, the name "Guo Shi" stirred Ou Xing's heart.
"Guo Jun's name, but the 'stone' of two thousand stones?" The surname "Guo" is on the caravan flag, so Ou Xing asked.
"Hui Shaojun, exactly."
"Guo Jun is from his hometown, but Lingling County or Guiyang County."
"Huh~" Guo Shi was very surprised, "Hui Shaojun, the villain's family lives in Chenxian County, and he is from Guiyang County. I don't know how Shaojun knew? ”
"I pinched my fingers."
It's really that Guo Shi.
Before the crossing, the history of Ou Xing was average. He also knows a little about the big figures and memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. For the details and trivialities, for the little people in the corners of the annals, there is basically no impression.
However, Ou Xing's deeds are a different story.
For the person with the same name and surname as himself in history, it is possible that he has Zeng Zengzeng...... The glorious deeds of the great-grandfather's Changsha thief Ou Xing, Ou Xing knows very well.
Because, the glorious deeds of Ou Xing are recorded in the history books.
"When Changsha thief District Xing claimed to be a general, more than 10,000 people, besieged the city, and was to be strong for Changsha Taishou. To the county relatives to lead the soldiers, set up strategies, between the ten months, and the stars are broken. ”
"The Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi are also handsome, and the disciples start from Zero and Gui, corresponding to the stars. Then he crossed the border to seek it, and the three counties were solemn. ”
In the history of the original plane, this salt merchant brother Guo Shi didn't know what he had done, but he followed Zeng Zengzeng, who had the same name and surname as Ou Xing...... Great-grandfather Changsha thief district Xingxing rebelled.
As luck fell, the two little thieves bumped into the elite monsters as soon as they left the novice village, and they became a small footnote to the glorious life of the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Poyu.
"The salt sold by Guo Jun is the sea salt produced in Panyu?"
"Exactly."
"Has Guo Jun been to the salt farm, do you know how sea salt is produced?"
"Back to Shaojun, the villain has been there, and I know a little bit about it. Panyu salt production can be roughly divided into two steps, which is first poured sand to make brine, and then boiled into salt. ”
"Guo Dajia, if I have a strategy, I can make the cost of salt production not save one, and I can make the king's wealth ten times and a hundred times. Are you willing to learn? ”
"Hey~"
The child was talking nonsense, and Guo Shi couldn't help but laugh dumbly. But he didn't want to save the face of this barbarian young gentleman.
After all, he is just a lowly businessman, and the other party, after his eldest father rebelled and surrendered to the value of the unification #war, Gao Gao is also a young master of a big clan.
"How can such a good thing happen? The villain wants to hear about it. ”
"Come with me."
has been a copyist in Kou's private school for more than two years and nearly three years, but Ou Xing, who has not made too many waves, did not accept his fate.
This autumn, he will use countless sea salt drying techniques that have made a fortune through his predecessors to change the fate of the older brother behind him who will rebel and die with him according to the original trajectory.
It also changes the fate of this era.
"The first emperor ascended the throne, and he took a break from military service, but he still thought deeply, did not forget the danger, explored the old classics, recovered salt and iron, and wanted to be prepared for the border of Ning'an. And the officials are so bad that they lose their convenience and go against their will. The first emperor hated it, so he left the county to strike the ban on salt and iron, indulged the people # boiling and casting, and the county officials who were taxed were like stories. His Shen Edict stabbed the history, 2,000 stones, obeyed the holy decree, encouraged the virtue, proclaimed the world, and made the knowledge of the meaning. —— "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Benji, Filial Piety and Filial Piety Emperor Chronicles"
