Marquis of Shang

Chapter 18 Trading
After the two were polite to each other, they started talking with a distance of several feet and Huangshi warriors in between.

"What is the need of the Lord, my caravan does not say that it has everything, but it should be able to meet the needs of the Lord."

"Doctor Shen, what you said, my Xiaoyi still lacks something..."

As he spoke, Chen Qingxiang looked at the cavalry beside him, and Ambassador Chen winked.

Looking at this scene, Chen Da took out a roll of bamboo slips that he had prepared earlier from his bosom.

Let a Huangshi soldier be handed over to Shen Zitong.

After receiving the bamboo slips handed over by the soldiers of Huangshi.

Shen Zitong directly opened the bamboo slips with only six bamboo sticks.

Look carefully at the text above.

After a while, Shen Zitong said with a smile: "Chen Yizhu, my caravan happens to have these things."

"It's just that the price is not cheap. Do you have enough gold and silver in your town?"

"Doctor Shen, don't worry, as long as the price is right, even if the gold and silver are insufficient, I can exchange it with local specialties!"

"good……"

Afterwards, the two began to haggle over the price with a distance of several feet between the soldiers of Huangshi.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the two had a successful negotiation and reached an agreement.

After negotiating the price, Chen Qingxiang said to Shen Zitong, who was a native of this country.

"Doctor Shen, I will wait for the items to be transported to my town."

"When the time comes, deliver the goods with one hand and pay with one hand..."

Looking at Chen Qingxiang, who was guarded by seventy Huangshi warriors and holding a three-foot simple horn, Shen Zitong, a native of the country, laughed and said.

"Yes, I will come as soon as I go, Lord Lord, please wait for an hour."

"Please……"

Watching Shen Zitong leave, Chen Qingxiang, who was nervous and on guard, relaxed.

"Chen Da, you go back to the mansion and ask Chun to bring three hundred merchants' gold..."

After a few breaths of time, Chen Qingxiang ordered Chen Da to find the close female slave Chun who is now in charge of the finances of the Lord's mansion, and ask her to bring her belongings.

For Chen Qingxiang, the four personal female slaves in spring, summer, autumn, and winter are more than simply serving food and clothing in life.

It is also his right-hand man and help in controlling the entire Huangshi Xiaoyi.

Even after the two parties had sex, they made a life-and-death contract. If Chen Qingxiang made another choice, he would be the one who will protect his last line of defense in the future.

Just like Gaozu Chen Weiyao, the two fierce women on the chariot who were closely guarding him.

"promise……"

Mr. Chen got off his horse and walked away quickly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the personal slave girl Chun came out of the Lord's mansion and came to Chen Qingxiang's place.

Behind him, there are four strong female slaves who came together carrying a wooden box with totem patterns.

……

And when "Spring" came out with the property of the Lord's mansion.

At this time, Shen Zitong, a native of the country, also rode a war horse, and came to the caravan that was a few miles away from Huangshi Xiaoyi, who was also on guard against Huangshi Xiaoyi.

Came to a luxury carriage in the middle of the caravan.

Two middle-aged men in a dangerous situation sat opposite each other in the carriage.

Seeing Shen Zitong enter, the leading middle-aged man who exuded the aura of peak viciousness asked Shen Zitong.

"Third brother, how is this Xiaoyi?"

"Disaster……"

Shen Zitong directly picked up the bronze kettle on the table in front of the two of them

Pour out a glass of water directly, and dry it in one gulp.

Then he exhaled.

"Although there is a new owner in Huangshi Xiaoyi."

"But the battle power in the town is intact."

"The Lord of the Xiaoyi is also extremely cautious."

"I don't even have a chance to get close to that little town master."

"The more than 200 soldiers in the city are fully prepared for battle, and there are even elite soldiers holding ten-sided evil nets, who are ready at any time by the side of the young Lord."

"In this case, add the guardian spirit elephant totem of Huangshi Xiaoyi, and its little witch guard."

"If you want to take down and plunder this small city, I'm afraid that at least half of the caravan will be killed or injured."

"And our three brothers, under his counterattack, I am afraid that there is also a life-and-death crisis."

"And this is the standing combat power on the surface. If there is some background, it will not be surprising."

Hearing this, the leading middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then said slowly.

"Since you can't find an opportunity, let's do business normally!"

"What needs does this little town master have?"

Shen Zitong was not surprised when he heard that, he took out the bamboo slip with only six sticks and handed it to the leading middle-aged man.

"This little town owner needs a lot of things. Although it's a pity that he can't plunder, but even if he is a normal businessman, he can still make money."

"If there is no problem, then I will prepare the goods."

……

An hour later.

Under the leadership of Shen Zitong, another 25 people, driving 25 vehicles full of goods, entered the city and came to the circular square.

A large amount of salt, cloth, and even refined iron and other goods.

Look at these 25 carts of goods.

No need for Chen Qingxiang to order.

His close female slave Chun took four healthy female slaves and began to carefully inspect the 25 vehicles one by one.

Shen Zitong was not surprised when he saw this scene, but started to entangle Chen Qingxiang to communicate.

Faced with Shen Zitong's words, Chen Qingxiang was cautious in his words and deeds.

Although I have different insights in my life, I was just an ordinary leek.

In terms of emotional intelligence, I'm afraid that there is a huge gap between the poor and this wandering Shen Zitong.

If you are not careful, you may leak the details of the city in just a few words.

……

An hour later, Chun finished his inspection.

Looking at the personal maid Chun, he signaled to himself that there was basically no problem with the goods, so Chen Qingxiang communicated with the spirit of the totem.

Unlock the black wooden box covered with totem patterns.

Three hundred three-inch-long small knives, under the sunlight, reflected golden light, and Shang Jin, with strands of vital energy flowing, appeared.

Merchant gold, merchant silver, merchant copper...

It is the three currencies legally issued by Dashang.

They all look like three-inch long knives.

Applicable to the people of the country, everyone, and even some slaves.

As for scholar-bureaucrats and above, another trading system is mainly used.

The normal exchange ratio between merchant gold, merchant silver, and merchant copper is one to one hundred.

A gold knife can be exchanged for a hundred silver coins.

A dollar of silver can be exchanged for a hundred dollars of copper.

According to Chen Qingxiang's understanding, the situation in the Qinghe scholar-bureaucrat's fief is still normal, and there is no food shortage in the small and middle towns.

Under normal circumstances, a knife of merchant silver can be exchanged for a stone (120 catties) of ordinary millet.

And this time a full three hundred knives in gold.

It can be exchanged for a full [-] shi of ordinary millet.

The entire Huangshi Xiaoyi has a normal output this year, with a total of only about [-] shi of ordinary millet harvested.

It can be regarded as the taxes paid by the families of the people, and the output belonging to the land of the town owner, which accounts for [-]% of the total harvest, about [-] shi of ordinary millet.

From this, we can see the value of the three hundred knives merchant gold.
