Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 189 Tossing and Turning to Dengzhou

From Yanzhou to Dengzhou, a thousand miles away, Chen Buer took twelve days to arrive. This journey has completely freed himself.

He will visit all the scenic spots along the way; he will take his brothers to taste all the famous local delicacies. It's a happy journey.

It was worth it for those three bastards like Pan Mingguang to call him "run away from home" this time.

After the team joined Fatty and the others on the way, 26 people entered the destination of this tour, Terengganu.

Dengzhou, also known as Yantai Penglai in the later Shandong Peninsula, is a famous foreign trade port and a special economic zone in Dazhou.

Because the north of the Shandong Peninsula was occupied by the Liao Kingdom, Dengzhou, as a natural port, became a maritime trade center in the north.

Those foreigners who came on sea boats, such as big cannibals, Javanese, Siamese, Sanfo ancients, and Indians, all went ashore here for trading, which facilitated the transportation of goods to Bianliang.

At the same time, Dengzhou was also the landing point for the vassal states such as Koryo, Wa, and Ryukyu to visit the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was equivalent to a transit point.

Even the hostile country of Dazhou, the place where Liaoguo traded goods with Dazhou, apart from the market in Xiongzhou, Dengzhou has the most sea trade. After all, the advantages of sea transportation for bulk goods are obvious.

This also led to the great prosperity of Dengzhou in the Tang and Song Dynasties. This prosperity reached its peak in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which will never be seen again in later generations.

It was at this time that Chen Buer entered Dengzhou City. As soon as he entered the city, he felt different customs from Bianliang. The whole city was like a huge market.

If you don’t have a sense of substitution, just think about what the Yiwu International Commodity City will be like in future generations, and what it is like now.

There are cries, yells, and bargaining sounds everywhere, and foreigners in various colors and clothes are everywhere, and even the air is full of the smell of money.

Porcelain, tea, and even books from Dazhou were exported in large quantities through Dengzhou Port.

And foreign spices, special knives, handicrafts, medicinal materials, etc. from various countries are all concentrated in Dengzhou for people to buy.

Not only are the varieties rich, but also the quantity is huge. A series of professional markets have been formed in Dengzhou City. For example, if Chen Buer wants to buy medicines, he has to go to Chongningfang West Street. There are all medicine shops here.

Fortunately, Chen Buer was a person who had been to the Yiwu Small Commodity Market, so he had seen big scenes.

Pan Mingguang and his three bastards, including the fat and thin people, have all been dumbfounded by the prosperity of Dengzhou City.

Bianliang City is prosperous, but it is a retail market. How can it be as prosperous as the professional wholesale market here?

Chen Buer took the horse and roared:
"Brother Pan, you guys should leave the gold with me. If you want to use it, I will give it to you. Look at how full you are now. Isn't it just telling the thief that you have money to come and steal it!"

As a result, these bastards have now recognized money but not people, and even their brothers don't believe it anymore, and they are holding on to their own gold.

"No, no, we will keep it ourselves. Wow, look, what kind of novelty is this?"

Chen Buer didn't care about these three bastards anymore, they would cry if they were stolen.

Now that I have arrived in Dengzhou, I always have to do business first, and then go to play after finishing the work, so that I can relax.

Under the guidance of passers-by, a group of people came to Chongningfang West Street.

As soon as you enter this block, you can smell the fragrance floating in the air, it is really a fragrance.

Unlike the traditional Chinese medicinal materials exported by Dazhou, the medicinal materials imported from Waifan are mainly pepper, nutmeg, agarwood, clove, sandalwood, dipterocarp, and musk.

These spices can be used not only as medicine, but also as condiments. Because they are all imported, they are extremely expensive.

A tael of spices is comparable to a tael of gold, and there is no need to worry about selling them when they are transported to Bianliang, which shows that there are really a lot of rich people there.

As for the two major medicinal materials "rhinoceros horn" and "musk" that Chen Bu'er purchased this time, they belong to niche goods, and even in Dengzhou, there are very few stocks.

After all, such a big rhino has no guns or cannons, and it depends on manpower to hunt and kill it, and the price is also very high.

The key is that rhinos are not found everywhere, only Sumatra, Java, and India have a small distribution. African rhinos are not the mainstream of this era, so the price is even more expensive.

Many rich people bought them back and made them into handicrafts, and then when they were excavated by later generations, each of them was more than a few million (at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong that year, "Rhino Horn Carving of Manjusri and the Blue Lion Statue" sold for more than a million dollars. 725 million yuan transaction)

So from ancient times to the present, this rhino horn has always been one word: expensive.

When going out, Chen Jinbai had already handed over an address to Chen Bu'er, and indicated the specific price fluctuations. After all, rhino horn and musk are both sky-high prices, and random fluctuations can cost hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

A businessman who can survive the harsh weather and pirate raids across the ocean, which one is not a man-eating man?At that time, I will give you a price to kill a pig, and you will have nowhere to cry.

As Chen Buer walked, he looked at the Chinese patent medicines on the roadside stalls, especially when he saw the branch of wild ginseng, which was hundreds of years old at every turn, and his mouth watered.

It's a pity that his gold finger is carrying a hospital. If, like some traversers, he can double-wear repeatedly and switch between ancient and modern times at any time, he can make a fortune.

Just by selling ginseng, he can become the richest man in the country.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this ginseng?"

"Which one are you talking about?"

Chen Buer ordered a piece of ginseng on the top of the counter.

"Hey, this young man has good eyesight. This is authentic wild ginseng. It has at least a thousand years of Taoism. If you eat this ginseng, you can regenerate your stumps and recover from dying. You can keep it as a family heirloom."

Chen Buer waved his hand: "Just tell me how much it is."

The vendor rolled his eyes: "100 taels."

"Bye-Bye."

Chen Buer didn't ask the price anymore, but turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, don't leave, young master, the price is negotiable."

Ginseng is a treasure, everyone in Dazhou knows it, but not everyone can afford it, so the market is not extensive.

The most important point is that there are still a lot of wild mountain parameters now, unlike the later generations, which are almost exhausted.In terms of cost, it is nothing more than the difficulty of collecting herbs and difficult transportation.

Chen Bu'er didn't know if 100 taels of thousand-year-old ginseng was too much, but he knew that the boss must be bullying him as a layman by looking at the thief's eyes.

Chen Bu'er was pulled back, which was expected, so he gritted his teeth and counter-offered: "50 taels, I'll buy it for 50 taels."

"make a deal!"

"No, why are you so straightforward, shouldn't you bargain a few times?"

Chen Bu'er was in a hurry, this boss didn't follow the routine, why did he agree so quickly?Am I expensive?
Pan Mingguang and the others laughed loudly behind him, "Hahaha~~~~"
