Chapter 37: Big Business

Yu Cheng, Huang Yun and the others didn't know what Zhang Ming's idea was, and they actually invited three barbarians into the yamen.

Talking about business?

With three barbarians, what business is there to discuss?

Huang Yun brought the three barbarians to Zhang Ming's study.

"My lord, three barbarians have been brought. Huang Yun said.

Zhang Ming pointed to the chair next to him and said, "The three barbarian warriors, sit down." Mr. Huang, pour tea for the three warriors first, and then make a record, and the official wants to negotiate a deal with the three warriors. ”

"Yes, sir. Huang Yun followed Zhang Ming's instructions, and after serving tea, he took out his pen and ink and began to record.

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Come to think of it, the three warriors have already learned the boxing techniques on the stone tablet." The three of them are already first-class martial artists, although the boxing skills on the stone tablet are good, but for you, it is not very useful, since you have learned it, then forget it. ”

If you spread the boxing technique, you will not be afraid of others learning it, even if the other party is a barbarian.

"I heard that the three warriors came to Qing'an County to sell leather goods, I don't know what kind of leather goods there are? ”

When the three barbarians heard Zhang Ming's words, they all had surprise in their eyes, Zhang Ming actually asked the yamen to buy his own leather goods? That was really good.

It has been more than two days since they came to Qing'an County, but the two truckloads of leather goods have not been sold, and even if someone wants to buy them, the price is extremely low. They even plan to go to other counties if they can't sell it anymore.

They can wait, but the tribesmen can't. They also had to sell their leather goods and buy enough salt, tea, cloth and other living materials in the Great Qianchao Dynasty. The clansmen are still waiting to use it.

Other things can be replaced, but in the grassland, salt and tea can't really be replaced by other things.

Now that they heard that Zhang Ming was going to buy leather goods, of course they were happy.

The barbarian man at the head stood up, saluted Zhang Ming, and said loudly: "My lord, our leather goods are definitely the best and best leather goods, and they are all carefully selected from the tribe. Among them, fox skin, mink skin, and even white wolf skin are also a lot, and the rest are cowhides. There are also some ginseng, reishi and other sundries. ”

Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, and he said secretly, the three barbarians brought good things. In particular, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are both precious medicinal materials, and even if a warrior is injured, he needs to use ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to nourish qi and blood.

"Okay!" Zhang Ming said happily, "If it is really as you said, then your leather goods will be all for you." Also, if you still have such leather goods in the future, you can send them, and the official will eat them all, and you will not suffer a loss. ”

The barbarian at the head said happily: "Thank you, Lord Tiele. ”

Tiele took Zhang Ming to check the goods, two big carts, and a lot of things.

Huang Yun took the three officials of the yamen to count most of the hour before he was busy.

This batch of goods was worth at least 100,000 taels of silver, among which ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, mink and white wolf skin were the most expensive.

Huang Yun pulled Zhang Ming aside and asked in a low voice: "My lord, this batch of goods is worth 100,000 taels of silver, you see, how much is the right amount for us to give the three barbarians? These three barbarians, although their martial arts are first-class, may not be knowledgeable. ”

Huang Yun, a scholar, is really ruthless, goods worth 100,000 taels of silver, he wants 20,000 taels of silver and buys them. If he goes into business, he is definitely a profiteer.

Zhang Ming shook his head and said: "Mr. Huang, you can't be like this, and you must be fair and just in doing business, otherwise, if your reputation is bad in the future, who will come to us Qing'an County to do business?"

Huang Yun was puzzled: "My lord, of course doing business with other people is fair and just, but they are barbarians. The barbarians are poor, they only have leather goods and medicinal materials, I am afraid that they have never seen tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if they give them twenty or thirty thousand taels, they are not grateful to Dade?"

Zhang Ming frowned and said, "Barbarians can't either. We want to do business with them for a long time, not a one-shot deal. If you push the price too hard, they may not come again. ”

Huang Yun shook his head secretly, this county magistrate is good at everything, but he is too kind, what kind of fairness and justice, benevolence, righteousness and morality do you talk about with the barbarians? When they kill the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, they will not be merciful.

Huang Yun wrote the contract according to Zhang Ming's request, Tie Le signed it, and after pressing the handprint, the transaction was completed.

When the three of Tiele got the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, they trembled with excitement, this year, the clansmen in the tribe no longer have to worry about not having salt and tea, and they can even buy more good things in the Daqian Dynasty.

The prosperity of the Great Qian Dynasty is not comparable to that of the grassland barbarians.

Tie Le said to Zhang Ming: "My lord, you are the most benevolent and righteous person I have ever met, and there were people from several trading houses who also wanted to buy our leather goods, but they were willing to pay up to 8,000 taels of silver. Rest assured, when you return to the tribe, Tiele will come to trade with you again with leather goods. ”

The goods of 100,000 taels of silver were only given 8,000 taels, and the degree of blackness was even better than that of Huang Yun.

It is no wonder that the contradictions between the Great Qianchao and the barbarians are irreconcilable, and it is strange that everyone does this, oppresses each other, and does not use a knife.

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Tiele warriors, I am a great Qian, and there are many benevolent and righteous people. If you need anything, you can purchase it directly in the county town, and the official will arrange for an official from the yamen to be your guide. ”

Tiele said happily: "In this case, thank you very much. ”

........................

After the three of Tiele followed a small official away, Huang Yuncai said, "My lord, you are really good to the barbarians. This batch of goods is worth 100,000 taels of silver, and we bought it for 100,000 taels of silver, and even if we sold it, we didn't make a profit. ”

Zhang Ming smiled and said, "Am I good to the barbarians? I just want to be fair and just." And who's to say I'm going to sell these skins?"

Huang Yun was stunned.

If you don't sell it, keep it for yourself?

Zhang Ming said: "The best cowhide armor can be sold for a set of 150 taels of silver, a fox fur coat for 1,000 taels of silver, and a mink robe for 6,000 taels of silver." If these leather goods are sold again, won't we lose a lot? ”

Huang Yun was surprised and said, "My lord, you are reasonable. But we don't have a workshop, and no one can make fox fur coats or mink robes. ”

Zhang Ming smiled slightly: "Who said it wouldn't? If there is no workshop, we can build, and if there is no craftsman, we can hire it, and as for the rest, the official will solve it. ”

The two carts of books that Zhang Ming's father brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion can be said to be all-encompassing, and it is not very difficult to make armor and fox fur mink coats.

Huang Yun saw that Zhang Ming was full of confidence, and he knew that it was true.

After the two carts of leather goods were made into cowhide armor and mink robes, wouldn't they be sold for a million taels of silver? The county magistrate is too good at doing business, and this is ten times the profit.

If every month in the future, no, there are two truckloads of wagons in the warehouse in half a year, and the income of two million silver a year will be an income, and Qing'an County will be rich.

Huang Yun was a little worried and said, "My lord, we are doing business with the barbarians, if the Yamen of Anxi Mansion knows about it, I'm afraid we will blame it." ”

Zhang Ming said with a flat face: "Why are you afraid that the Yamen of Anxi Mansion will blame you? This official is only trading leather goods with the barbarians, and he is not selling them military supplies such as steel crossbow arrows, can they still say that I am not a collaborator with the enemy? We did this without violating the laws of the Great Qianchao." ”

As long as there is no violation of the law and nothing that harms the interests of the people, Zhang Ming can do it boldly.

..................

On the Green Wolf Mountain, two young monks came.

One of the little monks was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was a martial arts cultivator, and he was already in the innate realm.

"Senior Brother Kongming, it's right ahead. ”

The young monk said to the little monk.

Monk Kongming nodded lightly and said, "I've seen it." We, the Law Enforcement Hall of Leiyin Temple, have been looking for Senior Brother Kongchen for so many years, but we didn't expect that he was actually hiding in Qing'an County's Green Wolf Mountain, and when we got the news of him, he was already dead. ”

Coming to a tomb, the monk Kongming recited the scriptures and overlived the souls of the dead.

The young monk said: "Senior Brother Kongming, although Senior Brother Kongchen has defected from the Leiyin Temple, his martial arts are not weak. Back then, he cultivated the Vajra Palm to the realm of deep fire, and after so many years, even if he didn't become an innate martial artist, he was still a half-step innate martial artist. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Kongchen would die in the hands of Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming knew that Senior Brother Kongchen was a disciple of Leiyin Temple, and he dared to kill the killer, which was really bold. ”

Monk Kongming frowned and said, "Senior Brother Kongjing, there is resentment in your words, it seems that you still have the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance in your heart. No wonder Senior Brother, you have been in the Law Enforcement Hall of Leiyin Temple for more than three years, but you have never become an innate martial artist. Senior Brother Kongchen's death is also destined to have this catastrophe, and he has created a lot of killing karma in Qingwolf Mountain. However, Zhang Ming is only twenty years old, and his moral and martial arts are far beyond his peers, and I am also very curious about what kind of person he is. If he has a relationship with the Buddha, Leiyin Temple can open the door of convenience. Later, after we go down the mountain, we will go to the county government and meet this legendary county magistrate. ”

Monk Kongjing looked like he was being taught: "What Senior Brother Kongming said is true. ”

Although the monk Kongming is young, he is profound in Buddhism and strong in martial arts. He was called the "Little Living Buddha" by Leiyin Temple, and for thousands of years, the senior monk of Leiyin Temple, before the age of twenty, no one reached his such achievement.

Although the Kongjing monk is also very powerful, it is only a half-step innate, and compared with the Kongming monk, it is far behind. Monk Kongming's words, he can only listen.
