Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 112 Welcome

The owner of the workshop was an official arranged by the court, and General Yu's management of the mutual market was very strict, so the owner of the workshop did not embarrass them.

After successfully renting a booth, the group went back to the inn and transported some goods to Fangshi. Just after putting the grain and cloth on the booth, a bearded Beidi man came to their booth Going up, pointing to four kinds of food, said in unproficient official language: "How much food do you have?"

Gu Xinfang hurriedly said, "We have thirty shi for cornmeal, forty shi for rice, white flour and millet."

Yasi from Beidi asked again: "What are the prices of these four kinds of grains?"

"Are you trading in furs or other things?" Gu Xinfang asked again.

"Fur goods." Yasi replied two words, and after thinking for a while, he added: "I have high-quality fox fur, rare sable fur, and some rabbit and wolf furs."

Gu Xinfang calculated the total value of these fur goods and found that they could cover the grain in their hands, so she said, "Let me discount it for you. For a good fox fur, I will give you two taels of silver to buy it. You can exchange it for two taels of silver. Four stones of rice, two stones of white flour, two stones of millet, and twenty stones of cornmeal."

Yasi quickly calculated the prices of the four kinds of grains in his mind, and said, "I want these grains, can you take me to see the rest of the goods, I want to inspect the goods before trading."

Gu Xinfang said that there was no problem, and then left Chen Huiyin and Tang Yaoling to continue selling cloth, leaving two guards for them, and took the other four guards and the food that had been laid out, and led Yasi back to the inn.

Not long after Gu Xinfang left, a person from the Western Regions with a high nose and deep eyes came to their booth to look at the cloth they had put out. This Western Region businessman's eyes were immediately attracted by the satin on the stall.

Seeing that the other party really liked it, Chen Huiyin took the initiative to say: "This is the plucked satin produced in Jiangnan of Daqi. It is magnificent in color and has vivid patterns. It is very popular with noble wives and girls. Buy it back, whether it is for your family , or giving gifts, it’s very decent.”

After hearing Chen Huiyin's words, the merchant from the Western Regions was very moved, and asked, "My lord, what is the price of a piece of satin like this?"

Chen Huiyin said: "This piece of satin is 65 taels of silver. I don't know if you will pay by barter or cash."

She intentionally raised the price by 15 taels of silver to leave room for bargaining. They only had ten pieces of this kind of fabric in their hands. Naturally, the purchase price was not so expensive, but a small half of the money also went to their hands, so the price On the basis of the original plan, make a false report to give the other party room to bargain.

Unexpectedly, the merchant from the Western Regions nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "I can exchange gems with you, but how many such beautiful plucked satins do you have?"

"The purchase price of this satin is expensive. We don't have a lot of money, and we only bought ten pieces. However, we also have Caijuan and Shu brocade here, which are also very beautiful. These are a little cheaper. Take a look." Chen Huiyin From a pile of ordinary silk cloth, I found a slightly lower grade of silk and Shu brocade for sale.

Not to mention that the businessman from the Western Regions really liked it, and then lavishly wrapped up the high-end fabrics in Chen Huiyin's hands. Gu Xinfang saw that this person should specialize in high-end goods dealers, so she quietly revealed to the other party: "I have I got tribute-grade silk and satin through the channel, I don’t know if Uncle Aiguli is interested.”

Ai Guli's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Nephew Gu Xian, if you can really get tribute-grade silk and satin, I'll exchange styrax, top-quality opals, and beautiful red, blue, and emeralds with you."

"It is possible to get it, but it will take a lot of time. It will take about two or three months next year. I don't know if Uncle Aiguli can wait so long." Gu Xinfang tentatively said.

Ai Guli frowned in embarrassment. It is now mid-October, and he will have to stay in Daqing Town for more than four months until March next year. After June and July next year.

Gu Xinfang waited for a while before opening her mouth: "Uncle Aiguli, I also know that you and your caravan cannot stay here for more than four months, so when you can come back next year at the latest, I will give the cloth to you." You stay until the time you said, if it exceeds this time and you haven't come, I will sell the cloth to others, what do you think?"

Chen Huiyin also assisted at this time: "Uncle Aiguli, we will often take the business route from Guanzhong to Daqing Town Hushi in the future. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult for you to come here than us. You only need high-quality fabrics." Do you need things like Guanzhong porcelain, tea leaves, etc.?"

"These are naturally very popular in my country. If you can, I hope you can help me get some treasures. Next year at the latest in July, I will come with a caravan. If after July, I haven't arrived yet. You can handle the goods yourself, these treasures are very popular in the Western Regions, so you don’t have to worry about stockpiling the goods.”

Ai Guli felt the sincerity of the two young boys in front of him, so he also revealed to them what goods the countries in the Western Regions had the greatest demand for.

So the two parties verbally agreed on the second deal, and Aiguli got the goods he wanted, and hurried home with the caravan without stopping.

The food and high-grade cloth were all emptied, and the remaining ordinary silk cloth, they stayed in Daqing Town for another two days before they emptied them all and replaced them with medicinal materials and leather goods, so Gu Xinfang paid the commercial tax of the town and returned the inn The guest house, set off for home.

After this transaction, Chen Huiyin discovered that the merchants from the Western Regions were divided into two types, one was Aiguli who came for high-end goods, and the other came for cheap goods.

Beidi people don't have much demand for cloth and porcelain, they mainly come for food, tea and salt.

The return trip was three days shorter than when we came here. Although every car was not empty when we came back, the things on the car were much lighter than the grain, and the speed of the cattle naturally increased.

However, it snowed heavily on the grassland on the way. Fortunately, Chen Huiyin had already prepared and took measures to prevent the cold. Everyone, including the cattle pulling the cart, arrived home safely.

When the children arrived home safely, Chen Boyu, Zhou Jinghao and Wu Shengzhe finally felt relieved.

Gu Xinfang asked Chen Huiyin and the others to rest, but she herself contacted the grain merchants non-stop, bought another batch of grain, and even rounded up the Chen family's corn, and then led the team into the grassland to give to the Pingxia branch and nearby small tribes. It took six days to send it back and forth, but a batch of good leather goods and medicinal materials came back in exchange.

She didn't even take a break. Once the goods were counted, she took Chen Huiyin and the four of them southward. This time, they didn't bring any guards. Only the five of them traveled by sea on a merchant ship and arrived in Nandu six days later.

Tang Yaoling did not expect that after three years, he would return to the place where he had lived for many years. The former Jiangling Mansion became more lively and prosperous because of the promotion of the capital.
