Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 762 Small Business

Liu Mu turned around and hooked his fingers at the little nobleman, but the little nobleman didn't respond, the two guards directly put him in front of Liu Mu, and Liu Mu asked, "Tell me, how much gold can be exchanged for this hundred pieces of cloth?" , or silver."

"Two, 200 taels. Maybe it can be exchanged for 220 taels of silver."

Liu Mu looked back at Jiang Ke, Jiang Ke immediately understood what Liu Mu meant, and came over and grabbed the little noble by the collar: "If you want your whole family to live, I will give you three days, and you will get back every hundred pieces of cloth 120 taels of silver. Is there any problem?"

"One day, one day I can get the silver back. I can get back a lot, a lot."

"No, just exchange it at 120 taels for every 130 horses, and the maximum can't exceed 120 taels. The extra is the shipping fee and the reward for the porters. It's [-] taels for shipping out of Beisha City. The rules can't be broken, and you don't allow random Increase the price."

The little noble who dared to resist, nodded fiercely.

Only a quarter of an hour later, the surname Cui had nothing to do with his ancestors. It was a surname he chose for himself when he became the lowest nobleman, because Cui was a common surname in the Central Plains.

His name is Cui Dazhong.

Or the clock of the clock.

An hour later, after changing into new clothes, he rode a donkey and arrived at a place thirty miles north of Beisha City. There is a place called Sileng Mountain, and there are two forts here.

Originally, it was only used as a material transfer, and it was one of the four forts that helped defend the two cities of Xinjin and Beisha.

There are currently [-] Goguryeo soldiers gathered here to defend Beisha City from the enemy going north, and at the same time more soldiers are being mobilized to Xinjincheng and Changshancheng.

The main general here, named Xie Xia, was originally the deputy general of Xinjin City, leading troops to guard here.

Cui Dazhong asked to see Xia, because he had dealt with the new Jincheng guard many times when he was selling pickles and grains.

Xie Xia politely invited Cui Dazhong into the house and gave him a bowl of hot porridge.

"How is the city, how many enemy troops are there?"

Cui Dazhong shook his head violently when he heard this: "I can't say anything, I can't say a word that is unnecessary, my family will be in that city, and they will all die."

"Then what are you doing here?" Xie Xia didn't understand, how could the people of Tang let this small businessman out.

Cui Dazhong opened the backpack and pushed the hemp in front of Xia Xia.

"I don't know anything. This time, I am exchanging linen for silver. As long as I successfully exchange the silver back, my family will not die, so I have to come out."

"The linen is not bad. This is the middle and high-grade fine linen from Tang Dynasty, and it is very valuable." Xie Xia is also a person who knows the goods.

Cui Dazhong immediately said: "One hundred horses are exchanged for 120 taels of silver."

"What?" Xie Xia seriously suspected that he had heard it wrong: "You said just now that one hundred bolts of this kind of cloth cost 120 taels of silver? This is impossible. There must be something wrong with it. Could it be that there are many bad ones in the linen cloth? Or something else?"

Cui Dazhong shook his head: "I don't know, one hundred horses are exchanged for 120 taels of silver."

Xie Xia asked again: "What else did Tangren tell you?"

Cui Dazhong continued to shake his head, Xie Xia didn't understand if he didn't know, or he didn't want to say it.But now, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to take advantage, and immediately asked: "Then Tang said, how much can we get in exchange?"

"I didn't say it, but the Tang people said that it was the price in Beisha City, and every hundred horses sent here would add ten taels."

"Ten taels are ten taels. First, you bring me five hundred horses. No, one thousand horses."

That's how the first deal was negotiated because the price was so low.

Xie Xia took out ten gold cakes and one silver cake from his military expenses as sincerity money.

When Cui Dazhong was walking back, many mid-level officers turned to Xie Xia: "What if he gets those ten gold cakes and runs away?"

"No, I feel that the problem is also with the goods, not to cheat this little gold cake."

Another said: "General, you secretly took military expenses from Curry. If you let the higher-ups know about this, what should you do?"

Xie Xia nodded silently when he heard this: "It makes sense. But don't be afraid, you go back to the city quickly and see if there are any big merchants accepting these cloths. We will change hands after adding a little price, and we will fight for 20 taels of silver for every hundred pieces." no problem."

Cui Dazhong walked back for less than ten miles, and saw a group of 500 people from a distance walking towards the Tang army's defensive barracks outside the city with their backs on their backs.

When Cui Dazhong arrived at the barracks, a young official asked him, "How much?"

Cui Dazhong hurriedly offered the gold and silver cakes, and replied: "A thousand horses."

"Okay, you go."

In the barracks, 100 people with baskets on their backs separated out and immediately followed Cui Dazhong to Jiexia's place, and the gold and silver cakes were sent back to Beisha city on horseback.

Liu Mu was speechless when he saw the gold and silver cake.

Jiang Ke also smiled: "Mr. Lang obviously saw the gold and silver from Goguryeo for the first time."

"Yes!"

"Lang Jun, there are seven greens, eight yellows, nine purples and ten reds in gold, and this gold cake can't even reach seven greens." Jiang Ke knew very well that Goguryeo did not have good refining techniques, and it was impossible to produce pure gold.

Liu Mu knew a little about silver, so he stabbed it twice with a small knife, and shook his head helplessly when he saw the deep marks, there was a lot of lead and tin mixed here.Of course, when it comes to silver mines are mixed with tin, lead and other mining areas, this is not a fake.

Jiang Ke took the silver cake and threw it to the guard, who cut it off with a knife.

"Yellow with black in it, dull and lacklustre. The silver is less than 160% pure. But we are not at a loss. The workshop price of this batch of linen is 16 four coins, and one hundred pieces are only [-] taels of silver."

Willow said: "Freight, tariffs, labor, profits..."

"It's still huge profits, extremely huge profits!" Jiang Ke couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

When Liumu came this time, there were two boats for the linen item alone, and one boat could hold at least more than [-] horses.

The width of Datang’s cloth looms is officially regulated. The cloth is divided into two types: one foot five inches wide and one foot eight inches wide, which is about 33 or [-] centimeters.The length is four feet, six feet, ten feet, and ten feet is [-] meters.According to the thickness, the weight is divided into three specifications: ten feet, six catties, nine catties, and twelve catties.

This time Liu Mu brought out six catties, one foot five inches, and ten feet of cloth.

Liu Muzai was a little helpless for the silver, and it was no wonder that Goguryeo's silver was worthless. It turned out that the purity was too low.But how could it be worth half of it, the price of Liu Mu was still acceptable.

Speaking of both sides, after Xie Xia saw the cloth, he arranged for someone to randomly select it, and then opened the rebook.

I have rolled [-] rolls in a row, and I have not found any problems. They are all high-quality cloth.

"It's weird, it's all high-quality linen, but why such a price, it's so cheap that people don't understand." Although Xie Xia was puzzled, he still ordered people to pay.
