The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 809, 790: The caterpillar grass, the three brothers return to China ([-])
Tieniu smiled and said: "Brother, we brothers are so lucky!

I really didn't think of it!Our two brothers made a fortune in this war!

When I think about it, I'm so excited that I can't sleep!

Brother, look!How much gold and silver is this! "

As he said that, Tieniu opened his bag, and Duan Wuji saw that there were more than a dozen gold bricks in the bag, and the silver seemed to be two or three thousand taels!
Tieniu looked at his gold and silver bags, and his face immediately beamed with joy.

Duan Wuji poked at the few gold bricks and counted them carefully.

"Hmm! It's quite a lot, this is a total of 15 gold bricks!
Brother Tieniu, congratulations on making a fortune!

Why!I said, Brother Chai, open your money bag too, and let me see how much money you have made this time! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao said with a smile: "You don't need to look at my share, to be honest, I get as much as Brother Tieniu.

These things were shared by the two brothers after we got them. What do you think is the difference? "

Duan Wuji finally understands now.

"Oh! So it is!

Well!My little brother, I congratulate the two elder brothers for making a fortune!

To tell you the truth, my brother, I also made a windfall!

Um!This time, the three of us brothers are all good, and we have achieved something again! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao pulled Duan Wuji back.

"I said brother, we brothers only got such a little yellow and white things, then you can also tell us the amount of things you got!"

Duan Wuji grinned after hearing this and said: "To tell you the truth, brother, I got a thousand taels of silver this time, and 84 gold bricks, that's all I got!"

Chai Shao smiled wryly after hearing this.

"I said brother, we two brothers also said that this time we can overwhelm you with a windfall! I didn't expect that your fortune is bigger than that of our two brothers!

The little gold and silver that our two brothers got together is not as much as what you got alone!

brother!Brother, I really have nothing to say. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"I said Brother Chai, this person's chances are different, how can he force this thing, do you think it makes sense!"

Tie Niu blinked his eyes.

"I said brother, you are really good! Our two brothers even said that this time we will surpass you!
Unexpectedly, the amount of gold and silver our two brothers got together is not half as much as yours!

It seems that if we two brothers want to surpass you, it will be really difficult!

Why!I said brother, when do you think we should get the caterpillar fungus and go back to China? "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, the sooner we do, the better!

We have all been here for such a long time, this poor place, what do we still miss about it!

Tomorrow morning, the three of us go to meet the old king!
Let's see how the Cordyceps is prepared here!

If there is any Cordyceps here, we might as well leave tomorrow.

Brothers, what do you say? "

The two listened and nodded.

"Well, that's all right! Then we have dinner tomorrow morning, and the three of us should go there early."

After dinner, the three brothers went to bed early.

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, Duan Wuji and his two elder brothers went straight to the main hall of the old king and walked over.

When I entered the main hall, I saw that the old king was sitting at the table drinking milk tea leisurely.

When the old king saw Duan Wuji and the others coming in, he greeted them quickly.

"Wuji! Tie Niu, you three are coming! Come, come, sit down quickly!
Come, drink some bowls of milk tea first! "

Ho!The old king is still full of enthusiasm!After the three sat down, they began to drink tea.

Duan Wuji drank tea and said to the old king: "Your Majesty, you see that our country has stabilized now.

I think there is nothing wrong with the three of us, so we might as well go back to China today.

The three of us have been out for such a long time, we should go back too! "

The old king laughed when he heard this.

"Wuji! I said, why are you three in such a hurry to return home?

You just stay with me for a few more days, so what are you afraid of?

I have no shortage of food and a lot of flowers here, how can I treat you badly? "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Your Majesty, what you said is not bad, but since our mission has been completed, if we want to stay outside, I'm afraid it means betraying the emperor!

Your Majesty, is your Cordyceps ready?

If you're ready, let's buy some and go home!

If you have anything to do in the future, you can just look for our buddies. "

"Well, that's fine! Since you said so, then I won't keep you.

To be honest, I really asked my supervisor last night, my Cordyceps is in my warehouse now.

These things are not many, that is, more than 1000 catties.

I will deal with these things for you, you can go back and earn two money to spend, and I can also solve some practical difficulties in our country.

I think it benefits both of us, and it benefits everyone! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, as long as your Cordyceps is in stock!

However, it is not easy for us to do a small business. For the sake of our friendship for many years, you must not open your mouth like a lion.

The three of us have such filthy money, and we all depend on it for our lives. "

The old king grinned.

"Wuji! Don't give me the poor, you take advantage of so much gold, you still say you are poor?
Isn't that talking nonsense with your eyes open!

Let me tell you, just because you brothers and sisters help me put down the domestic rebellion, I can't ask you for the price of this Cordyceps!

The three of you also know that our country is small and the people are few, and nothing can be produced in this vast wasteland.

To put it bluntly, I'm also counting on this bit of Cordyceps to turn into two dollars!

As for the price of this Cordyceps, you can just give me 40 taels a catty.

To be honest, I can lower the price enough, if it is lower, I really can't sell it.

You also know, and you don't know why, the Cordyceps harvest on our plateau has not been harvested every year in recent years.

The price of this caterpillar fungus is going up all the way!

However, due to the civil strife in our country, the merchants who came to the chrysanthemum were afraid to come, so the price dropped again.

Let me tell you that once the situation in our country stabilizes, the price of Cordyceps will immediately go up again.

The price I gave you is really a friendship price. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, you are such a cheerful person!

As for the price of this Cordyceps, since you said so, then we won't give you a counter-offer.

Let's do it at the price you said.

Your Majesty, since our price has been set, in my opinion, you might as well order someone to get those Cordyceps out of the warehouse, and let's take a look at the quality of the Cordyceps.

If there is no problem with the quality, let's bag it and weigh it immediately.

What do you think of this? "

The old king nodded.

"Well! That's great! That's what we'll do, then."

The old king shouted loudly towards the outside: "Buzawa! You immediately lead someone to get out the caterpillar fungus in our warehouse, and dump them all in the yard. Wuji and the others want to inspect the goods.

When pouring the caterpillar fungus, you must spread felt cloth underneath, did you hear that clearly? "

"Your Majesty, don't worry.

Old slave, I've been with you for so many years, could it be that I don't even know about this? "

"Well, it's good to know! Why don't you hurry up and lead people to do it?"

After listening to the old king's order, Buzawa turned around and went out immediately.

The old king said with a smile: "Let's go out! The caterpillar fungus will come out in a while, you should also inspect the goods.

If there is no problem with these goods, then we will pack them into bags and weigh them immediately. "

Duan Wuji and the others heard this, and immediately followed the old king out of the hall.

I saw more than a dozen servants in the palace taking out sacks of caterpillar fungus!
A very large felt cloth was laid on the ground, and these servants poured the caterpillar fungus on it in small bags. After a short time, the caterpillar fungus was full.

The old king said with a smile: "Aren't all these things here? You can look at these things casually.

Let me tell you that my Cordyceps is the best Cordyceps.

I don't want that inferior Cordyceps. "

Duan Wuji and the others watched carefully around the caterpillar fungus. To be honest, the old king’s caterpillar fungus is really good.

There is nothing wrong with it!

After watching for a long time, the three of them kept nodding their heads!
"Well, this product is not bad, we are quite satisfied with the quality.

Your Majesty, as I see it, you just order bags to be packed.

After packing the bag, let's weigh it better. "

The old king nodded and ordered someone to take out the large scale from the palace.

The old king said to Buzawa: "You first weigh these bags for them. When the caterpillar fungus is over in a while, let's remove the weight of these bags and it's over!"

Butova nodded after listening.

"Old slave obeys!"

Buzawa tied the bags together and weighed them.

"These bags weigh a total of 35 kilograms. You can take care of them. Okay, let's pack the bags now!"

The old king said to Buzawa: "Call some servants to sew up the mouth of this bag with a needle and thread, so that they can also put it on the horse!"

After hearing this, Buzawa ran to the harem, and after a while, more than a dozen servants came over with needles and threads.

The men sewed the pockets with such rapidity that they were all sewn up in a short while.

Several servants checked and weighed, and the weight of these caterpillar fungus was 490 and [-] catties.

A total of 800 taels of silver should be paid by them. If they are synthesized into gold bricks, that is 37 gold bricks plus 600 taels of silver!
Seeing this, Lao Wangguo smiled wryly and said, "I have so many caterpillar fungus, I can only exchange dozens of gold nuggets from you!

Alas, it is pitiful to say the least! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think that all this gold is ours? You would be wrong if you think so.

Most of this gold was borrowed from the palace by us.

The three of us are just paying my emperor's order, and we are just buying some medicinal materials by the way.

Your Majesty, sell us ten horses from your army!

We will use them to collect these medicinal materials. "

"Well! That's fine! I'll get them ten good horses right away, and let them go back with the medicinal materials!"

There are many good horses in this palace, and after a while, ten fine horses were brought over.

The servants of the palace helped to put the herbs on the horses and tie them up.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I will give you a lot of money for these ten good horses. How about I give you 500 taels of silver?"

The old king laughed when he heard this.

"Wuji, this is a trivial matter, just figure it out.

It doesn't matter if it's more or less.

Buzawa, deduct 37 gold bricks from us, and deduct another 100 taels of silver from them.

Give them all the remaining gold and silver! "

Buzawa nodded after listening.

In a short while, all the gold and silver they had left was stolen.

Neither Tieniu nor Chai Shao's gold and silver were touched, and those gold and silver were all deducted from Duan Wuji's silver bag.

The three of them put their burdens on their backs again, and then said to the old king with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest!
Now that this matter has been clarified, we shall take our leave.

Hurry up and ask someone to bring over our horses and weapons!
We're about to hit the road. "

The old king nodded.

"Since you are in such a hurry to leave, then I won't keep you.

Have chance!Let's meet again when we have a chance.

Buzawa, don't ask people to get all their horses and weapons!People are going to hurry. "

After hearing this, Buzawa immediately ordered three servants to bring all their horses and weapons over.

The three got on their horses, bid farewell to the old king, escorted the goods all the way to the east, and rushed straight to the dam of Zabashi and the others.

When it was getting dark, the three of them finally rushed to the door of Zabbasi's house with the goods.

Tieniu jumped off his horse and shouted at the gatekeeper: "Which one of you will go in and make an announcement? Just say the three of us are back."

The gatekeeper saw that it was Duan Tieniu and the others, and went in to report without saying a word.

Not long after, Naza Brazil ran out of the yard.

"Oh! Promise! You are back! Ho! You have brought back so many goods!

The three of you must have made a fortune again!

Three, please come inside quickly! "

The three of them rushed the horses carrying goods, and walked straight to the side courtyard to the west of Zabashi's house.

Zabbasi followed me in a hurry!

"You three, it has been almost a year since you came to my country of Tufan!

Let me tell you, I'm just waiting for you to get Cordyceps from me at home. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I said, Master Zabbasi, how many catties of caterpillar fungus did you collect for the collectors this time?

Can you give us a specific number! "

"I collected a lot of Cordyceps this time! It's about [-] catties in total!

Let me tell you that after you get these caterpillar fungus back, you will make a lot of money. "

Tie Niu grinned.

"I said Zabbasi, we have not dealt with each other once or twice, let's make money together!

We are all old friends for many years, tell me!How much is this Cordyceps per catty you sell us? "

"The price can still be high? It's too high, and I feel sorry for my old friend.

How about this!
Three good friends, you also let me make some money, how about we count this Cordyceps at 50 taels of silver per catty?

To be honest, I don't care how much you ask for this price! "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I said, Mr. Zabbasi, the price of 50 taels a catty of caterpillar fungus is high enough.

However, we are in a hurry to go back, and we will no longer compete with you for the price.

You earn more, earn more!
However, you must provide us with some horses, and bring us some fodder. "

Zabbasi laughed out loud.

"There's no problem with these, as long as you settle the accounts with me at 50 taels of silver, these are trivial matters."

"Well, that's fine, let's just talk about it.

Tomorrow morning, hurry up and get us the caterpillar fungus outside. We'll get on the road early after we're done weighing. "

"Okay! Let's make a deal like this, then you guys rest! I'll go get ready too.

Later in the evening, I invite you to dinner. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Master Zabbasi, we have just dined, and we will not be here for supper.

If you are busy, you can go about your business.

It's time for the three of us to rest for a while. "

"Well, well, then you can rest.

I will not bother you. "

Saying that, Zabbasi withdrew from the yard.
