I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 52 Go to Zhangjiakou
Huang Dazhi and Huang Dapeng were also stopped by the staff, they looked at Huang Yi and said, "Master, little one..."

During this period of time, Huang Yi can be said to kill people without blinking an eye. He just feels full of hostility and is not afraid of fighting at all. How could he worry about Li Guanshi playing tricks.

He came to this store on a temporary basis to discuss business, and it was impossible for them to prepare manpower in advance.

It's just Guanshi Li and two or three servants, Huang Yi thinks it can be killed with ease.

He even wished that Li Guan would strike first, cause the two sides to fight, and then be rude...

The Li family's business should not be small, how can there be less inventory and silver deposits?
At that time, don't blame Huang Yi for looting this place.

He said: "You all wait here, I can talk about it in a while."

Li Guanshi smiled and said: "Everyone, sit down and drink tea and have snacks, my family is a serious businessman."

Huang Yi followed shopkeeper Li to the inner room, and the waiter withdrew after serving tea and closed the door.

"Do you need to be nervous? Hurry up, accept or not?" Huang Yi pretended to be impatient.

Li Guanshi whispered: "I don't know where the strong man got the head of Jiannu? How many levels are there?"

"The seventh-level true slaves, and the 45th-level are young and middle-aged Tartars, all of whom are left-wing Mongolians who have taken refuge in slavery."

"Hiss!" Guanshi Li gasped.

The heads of Jiannu and Tartars are too rare to come by, and the so-called Great Victory of Ningjin has only won more than two hundred.

Huang Yi said that he has more than fifty in his hand, isn't it a quarter of Ning Jin's victory?

"This, so much? This, this..., I don't know what price the hero wants?" Shopkeeper Li stuttered a bit.

When talking about business, you need to listen to the voice, and Huang Yi immediately realized that this manager Li might not be able to be such a big master.

He made an offer, and said, "These heads can be exchanged for three pairs of fine iron chain mail, three hundred shi of wheat, three thousand catties of Suzhou steel, fifty blunderbusses, three hundred catties of gunpowder, and three hundred catties of lead."

Huang Yi had checked the price data of the Ming Dynasty before, and he had some memories that a stone of wheat weighed more than 150 catties in the Ming Dynasty.

This was the early years of Chongzhen, before Jiannu entered the pass, a stone of wheat in the pass should be sold for about seven renminbi, and one tael of silver could buy 120 to [-] catties of refined iron.

Bird guns are not commodities and have no market price, and the cost price will not exceed six taels of silver. Gunpowder is not a commodity either, and the black market price of ten catties is no more than two taels of silver.

Huang Yi's asking price was about one and one-half times the silver reward promised by the court for beheading.

Fully consider that buyers get these heads not for rewarding silver, but for increasing officials and ranks.

"A good man doesn't want gold and silver?" Li Guanshi asked in surprise.

"No! You still have to fight Jiannu and Tartars. Gold and silver are useless in your hands. You only need refined iron, weapons and food."

Guanshi Li may have a conscience and admire Han Er who dared to kill Jiannu. Hearing what Huang Yi said, he was silent for a moment, and said:

"The things that a strong man wants are not too much based on current prices, but armor, bird guns, and gunpowder are all military supplies, and you can't just buy them if you want."

The corruption in the late Ming Dynasty has reached the point of jaw-dropping.

The sergeants have caused trouble many times because of unpaid wages, and they have done things like killing the governor. Selling some weapons and armor secretly is nothing.

Huang Yi simply pointed it out, showing that he understands those things.He said: "The frontier soldiers in Zhangjiakou, Xuanfu and Datong have a lot of gunpowder and gunpowder. If you want to collect it, how can you not receive it?"

"But it doesn't mean that these things are available. I can't get them here."

Why are you talking nonsense here?Isn't this a waste of time!
Disappointed, Huang Yi stood up and said, "Then there's no other way. We haven't dealt with each other before, so it's impossible to accept credit. I'll take a look at the next one."

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Li grabbed Huang Yi and said anxiously: "No, no, absolutely no!"

"What's wrong?" Huang Yi asked in surprise.

"There is a mixed bag of good and bad people here. Some shops specialize in business on the Liaodong side. If a strong man goes to talk to them, it may cause trouble. Besides, no matter which shop, there will not be so many bird guns in stock."

(

"Oh? You mean it's impossible for me to get what I want!"

Huang Yi, who thought he could get dozens of catties of gunpowder and a few matchlock guns, was somewhat frustrated.

He really needs firearms too much. Once he has firearms, the Han people under his hands can be transformed into combat power.

Shopkeeper Li still had a smile on his face, and he said in an unquestionable tone:

"It's definitely not possible here. It is only possible to go to Zhangjiakou. Moreover, the price offered by the strong man makes the business unprofitable. I am afraid that this business will be difficult to do."

Huang Yi knew that he should not look for merchants indiscriminately, and that the merchants should be prevented from being Jiannu's eyeliner, so he chose Li's shop to have a try.

Seeing Li Guanshi's attitude and listening to his tone, he felt that the Li family should not have colluded with Jiannu, so he decided to have a good talk with this family.

He said: "Talk about business, talk about business, you can talk about it!"

"When we arrive in Zhangjiakou, it's no problem to give three hundred stones of wheat and one thousand catties of Sugang. Without iron armor, we can only give ten rods of blunderbuss, and we can't have too much gunpowder and lead. Twenty or thirty catties will weigh the sky."

At present, gunpowder and matchlock guns are most needed. The more the better, Huang Yi will of course try his best to get them.He wondered:
"Is that all?"

"There's only so much, I still have to go to Zhangjiakou."

Huang Yi didn't want to go to Zhangjiakou for the time being, at least he didn't plan to enter any city until he got a legal identity.

His current force value is very high, he can fight, he can run, and his ability to escape on horseback is being enhanced, but he must not be trapped in the city.

Because no matter which border city, there will be many soldiers and servants. Huang Yi, who is well-equipped and powerful in street fighting, can fight three against one, maybe one against ten, one against a hundred?

It is normal to have hundreds of troops in the city!
"Hey!" Huang Yi sighed, and said, "It's so troublesome, it seems that this business can't be done. It doesn't matter, the business can't be done. There is righteousness, and we will try to cooperate next time."

Seeing that Huang Yi was about to leave, shopkeeper Li quickly stopped him and said:

"I was planning to go back to Zhangjiakou Headquarters in a few days. The strong man can take the manpower, horses, and vehicles for transporting grain and steel, and go to dress up the goods in my number. I will take care of all the food along the way. "

"This……"

Seeing that Huang Yi was still pondering, Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "It's a good deal for a strong man to come and go with a full load! Besides, when we go to the market outside Zhangjiakou City, my number will provide food and accommodation, and I will run back and forth for the transaction. I don't need a strong man." into town."

Zhangjiakou can be said to be full of merchants, and they have accumulated some gold and silver in their hands. Going there to buy some grain, steel, cotton cloth, and shochu, the price must be much cheaper than the market outside Guihua City.

It was much more reliable to have the shopkeeper Li bring someone to help with the purchase, and Huang Yi was moved.

He calculated that if a horse carried three hundred catties and a cart carried more than a dozen stones of grain, a lot of people, horses and carts would have to go.
