"Come and take a look, freshly baked beasts of the mountains and seas - from fresh meat, canine tooth necklaces, sharp-clawed daggers, do not need your daughter, and do not charge you a hundred gold, rare treasures are now on sale."

"Ten gold, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled. Bring a necklace from Congcong, then you are a warrior in the eyes of your lady and a fierce man in the eyes of your lover. ”

"First come, first served, if you miss this time, if you want to meet Cong Cong again next time, you don't know what year and month it is."

After the Chongcheng coalition army, a large group of merchants followed the footsteps of the Chongcheng coalition army, although the demons were fierce, but this group of merchants was not afraid.

In their eyes, it is not them who are powerless businessmen who want to kill demons and eliminate demons, and they only need to buy the spoils in the hands of soldiers at a low price, and then transport them back to Chaoge, Xiqi, and Donglu These big cities with backhand are more than ten times the profit.

The Shang Dynasty generally did not collect the spoils of the warriors, otherwise people would bring their own armor and weapons to you for the labor expedition, what is the picture? Because of love?

There are many people who want to defend their homes and countries, but defending their homes and defending their country does not conflict with military exploits and spoils, isn't it?

Generally, the army commander will not prohibit these merchants from following, and both sides will also give the merchants a certain amount of space during the battle, so as not to accidentally injure these neutral units.

Meng Yan's eldest brother Meng Hun followed an army that set out from Chaoge and went to Donglu to do this.

After all, if you can trade, I can also trade, whoever hurts the merchant, and is feared by the merchant later, will no longer patronize your barracks, and the soldiers under your hands can't exchange real money and silver, and can't send home books, then the army will really be disheartened and can't fight.

Merchants, hey, the ancestors of the big merchants started out of this, and in this era, there was no such a clear hierarchical concept as Shinong and Industrialist. The status of businessmen is still very high.

It wasn't until the Three Kingdoms period that a certain general who was unwilling to reveal his name crossed the river in white and attacked his allies by pretending to be a businessman, that the role of the army merchant began to slowly fade out of the stage of history.

It's not nothing, it's just more centralized, and it has become a way to collect money that only the family can afford.

Of course, that's all later, in order to better exchange the spoils of war in his hands for real money, and also in order to allow the soldiers to send some letters and less valuable items to their homes when they are away, Chonghou Hu specially allowed merchants to set up a mobile military market not far from the rear division.

In addition to a large number of prisoners of war and livestock, the merchants were usually responsible for trading, but some gold and silver ornaments, or ritual vessels and sacrificial vessels.

Sometimes they will also undertake the tasks of some transport brigades of the main generals, these days, the basic reputation of the merchants is still there, few people can get a ticket and run, can be familiar with the princes, this relationship is more valuable than most goods.

There are even many cases of merchants transporting grain and buying and selling military equipment that is only available in other countries.

Well, these things have to be played by big businessmen who know the roots.

But don't give anything to rare treasures such as Shibi and Golden Jade Clothes, or that sentence, risk and value coexist, just look at how much this scale can be poured over there.

Now the object of the battle is not the melee of the princes, there is no livestock, and there are no all kinds of gold and silver treasures, what benefits can be made with the Chongcheng coalition army.

Alien beast meat can also be preserved for a long time after being marinated or smoked, which is a treasure that the king can't eat on weekdays, not to mention, many alien beasts have various effects in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

What walks like flying after eating, and after eating, it will not invade with a hundred poisons, and there are those who will not fall down after eating.

It's all a treasure.

Meng Zhuzhen blushed, looking at this younger brother who had been naughty since he was a child, he was a little choked for a while, so he had to lower his head, for fear that others would notice.

Shouting loudly in front of the public, this is also a kind of ability, Meng Zhu can't do it, there are more eyes staring at him, he will be nervous and speechless.

Who is Meng? In the previous life, college students who graduated from sales majors, although they learned all the professional knowledge such as channel distribution and key account management were returned to their teachers, but they were thick-skinned and practiced in social practice.

"Are you really from the meat? Don't fool me with a ring dog. Seeing this, the wealthy merchant in brocade clothes, who was smiling and watching the people coming and going, stepped forward to inquire with a big belly.

Without him, there are too many, if it weren't for the fact that after Meng Wei fell into a coma yesterday, Mei Luan cut most of it and used it up for the Chonghou Tiger Priest, he could have piled up more on this stall, and it would not be a problem to cut off two or three thousand catties from that body type.

This kind of loot won alone is generally not handed over, even if the main general wants to hand it over, it is only fifty percent, and Mei Luan's guy took advantage of his sleepiness and directly cut off three-quarters of it.

Speaking of this, he became angry, you Mei Luan wanted it, but he didn't say a word, he didn't tell him, and he kicked his nose in the face, thinking that he could afford to take his spoils.

Meng was so angry that he had itchy teeth, and sooner or later he would find an opportunity to let this cub return it to him.

"Yo, this uncle, you are a decent person at first glance."

"I cooked a Cong Cong banquet in the camp last night, I think you know it. Who am I, you may wish to ask the brothers passing by in the military market. ”

After speaking, the soldiers who watched the excitement around cheered one after another, boasting to Meng Wei.

"It turned out to be Captain Meng who killed Congcong, it's really disrespectful!" Hearing the explanation of the surrounding soldiers, the rich merchants immediately laughed, and the surrounding merchants also gathered around and began to inquire about the price.

"I don't have a lot of meat here, so I only have about two or three hundred catties left. A pound of meat, a pound of gold. Tong Suo is not deceived and does not owe credit. ”

At this time, the big merchants had just gotten rid of the shell coin, and began to use the copper knife coin, one gold, which means a hundred knife coins, converted into the rations of a family of three, one knife coin is enough to exchange for one stone of grain, one stone of grain is equal to one hundred and twenty catties, and the grain here refers not to rice, but to millet (corn) and millet (yellow rice).

The north is mostly arid and cold, and most of them are planted with millet and millet.

In these years, I didn't learn to handle wheat flour, there were no steamed buns, wheat would only be the rations of commoners and slaves, and normal people and nobles would not give priority to eating wheat.

Rao is wealthy businessmen also smacked their tongues, calling it too expensive, when they sold ring dog meat before, a pound of meat was only ten dollars, what kind of food power bonus did you have? , which multiplied tenfold at once.

"Everyone, listen to me, this Cong Cong, is not comparable to a ring dog, at present, the army has searched Yanshan is the only one, don't look at this Cong, there is no record in the book What is the use of eating."

"But dog meat is a big supplement, and it is even more supplemented."

Now no one was on the scene, and they all laughed awkwardly: "I didn't, I had a stomach trouble last night, Captain Meng, don't talk nonsense." ”

Who called Mei Luan, this guy has a lot of meat, and the four or five captains under the tent have shared a lot.

While speaking, Meng Wei slapped his face, and he didn't realize that Meng Zhu was going to faint to death, what kind of tiger and wolf words are this, let General Mei Luan hear it, he is afraid that he will kill you directly.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the army, it's good to have a mouthful of soup to drink, how can there be meat to eat, think about it, a mouthful of soup has such a miraculous effect."

"What if this is a direct meat eater?"

The merchants' eyes lit up, and they glanced at Meng Wei, the little brother is not shallow, he is not very old, and he has a lot of work.

"Hero, I'll give me two gold and a pound of meat, give it all to me, and you won't have to sell them one by one."

The wealthy businessman who was the first to inquire patted his belly and said angrily, and the merchants around him shouted one after another, but they just couldn't call a higher price.

"Mr. Lu, can you eat alone, Captain Meng, don't listen to Lord Lu, I can't eat it all, fifteen gold, divide me ten catties of meat, how about it?"

Meng Wei looked at the previous rich businessman and smiled even more happily, Lord Lu, isn't that Lu Jia? Chonghou's special merchant family, this character can be said to be Chonghou wherever he kills, he follows wherever Chonghou goes, and follows Chonghou's army all the way, and he also wins Chonghou's trust.

"Brothers, don't worry, Lord Lu speaks first, I can't break the rules for a little detail, it's a first-come, first-served basis."

"However, you don't panic, there is a necklace made from the canine teeth, wearing this chain, can drive away evil spirits, you rich party, presumably doing business on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be days and nights, and it is common to encounter evil people in the way, this chain, although you can't retreat from the evil, but within one or two feet of the body, ordinary evil people can still do it."

"Eh, don't rob, Brother Zhu, maintain order, don't stand stupid."

"I still have ...... here"

The surrounding soldiers secretly smacked their tongues, Captain Meng is really amazing, you have to make a lot of money by selling meat, and when you go home after the battle, you can be a hammer soldier, ask for a few wives and concubines, buy dozens of slaves, and you can live the life of a rich landlord.

The same is true for the husband.

While Meng Zhu and the merchants were settling, Meng Yan pulled Lu Jia's sleeve, and the two quietly walked to the side.

"I have heard of the relationship between Lord Lu and Chonghou for a long time, and I have a request for something below, I don't know if Lord Lu can help."

Lu Jia is also quite interested, he has just received nearly 300 catties from Cong, turn around and marinate it, and let people take it to Chaoge for sale, not to mention a pound of meat and gold, and when he meets a dignitary, a pound of meat and ten gold is also promising.

Goods, when ordinary meat products can be worth a few dollars and become health care products, tsk, more people have to pay.

"Captain Meng, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"Look, I can't bring back these four or five hundred gold, you are sure to make a lot of money, and you don't care about my small business, I will take out three hundred gold and hand it over to you, you help me bring it back to Meng Village, Chongcheng West City, and hand it over to my father Meng Xiong, I don't know if it is possible."

Trading the loot and then handing it over to familiar merchants, who dumped it on their way home, was something that many soldiers liked to do.

Merchants are also happy to do this, and usually take out 10% as freight, after all, they also need mercenaries to protect them on the way back, and it is also a cost for people to eat horses and chew along the way.

"Lu Jia is not very happy to be trusted by Captain Meng, please rest assured, with me Lu Jia, this letter will definitely be delivered, three hundred gold, a lot of money."

Meng Wei showed a smile of understanding, this Lu Jia will be a man, and he is worthy of long-term cooperation, otherwise he will be a little distressed by pumping his thirty gold water.

"Lord Lu, Gao Yi, even if this is the case, what the junior brother will gain in the future will not bother others."

"The market price, one pound and ten dollars for the ring dog, I will take eight dollars; If there are other foreign beasts from Cong, I won't sell other ones, and I will come directly to you, how about it? ”

Lu Jia stroked Meng Wei's arm and said happily: "It's really a warrior, it's a great honor to be able to gain your trust, Jia is grateful." ”

After disposing of the loot, he also got the support of a big businessman who had been dumping for a long time and could eat a large amount of selling, and Meng Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Even Meng Zhu, who was originally shy, couldn't help but smile crookedly, Meng Wei divided him with fifty gold, and he entrusted all of it to Lu Jia to send home.

With these fifty gold, even if he dies in battle, the family will have no worries about food and clothing, and his younger brothers and sisters can still find a good husband and wife.

The news also spread in the camp one after another, and Meng Junhou sold Congcong meat and directly made five hundred gold, and everyone who heard the news was stunned.

These three or five hundred gold are not worth mentioning for Chonghou, but for these ordinary people, this is really an astronomical amount that cannot be earned in a lifetime.

Well, by analogy, it is equivalent to in modern times, directly giving you five million cash and letting you spend whatever you want.

If you become a multimillionaire and get five million for nothing, that's what can make a rich man blush.

Ordinary people just want to be happy, and they don't have the ability to kill and obey alone, nor do they have the thick skin and eloquence of Meng Junhou, so they are envious.

In this way, these strange beasts are not necessarily disasters, as long as they are used well, they can not only brush up their skills, but also make a fortune.

It's so good, thanks for the five hundred gold sent from Lao Tie.

By the way, there are skills.
