Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 163 Goodbye Sharma

Zhao Zhen entered Lu Zhuocheng's shop, and the two met Li again. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, I have found some good stuff in the past few days, do you want to go and take a look?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Lu Sanlang, what did you find this time?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, do you still remember Zhai Yancheng?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Of course I remember, why, shopkeeper Zhai is here?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "He is also from the Zhai family. Zhai Yancheng's brother, called Zhai Yanhui, also brought a group of horses to sell. Do you want more, brother?"

Zhao Zhen thought about the horses he bought from Zhai Yancheng twice. Whether they were war horses bought first or stallions or shire horses bought later, they were all excellent.

The war horse itself is in short supply, and the entire Liangshan County has just over a hundred. The rest are just draft horses and riding horses. It would be best if we could buy more.

What's more, the Zhai family still has Shire horses. It would be better if they could buy more Shire horses. Zhao Zhen had seen this Sharma dragging trees in the mountains. For the purpose of shipbuilding, Meng Kang selected some large trees in the mountains as thick as a hug and cut them down. Only one Shire horse could drag them down the mountain. Nowadays, the big trees and stones in the mountains are transported out by Shire horses. One horse is worth twenty or thirty people.

Unfortunately, there are only five Shire horses, four males and one female. We don’t know how long it will take to breed them to a large scale. After hearing that the Zhai family came to sell horses again, Zhao Zhen became energetic.

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Brother, don't be anxious. There is another business, but I got it from my father. The commission is higher."

Lu Zhuocheng smiled complacently and said: "Twenty carts of refined iron weigh about thirty-six thousand kilograms. The asking price is 1700 guan, which needs to be settled with spiritual objects, and the commission is guan. Because it has to be settled with spiritual objects, there are few suitable buyers. Brother, I want to decide on this place first, there are really a lot of people looking at it.”

Zhao Zhen said: "In that case, let's go see the iron first. My fantasy world is just in use. After seeing it, I will go and buy a horse."

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, what is it?"

The two rode horses slowly. On the way, Lu Zhuocheng asked: "Zhao Erlang, the autumn harvest has just passed. Do you have any grain to sell in your village?"

Ai Liangshi met Zhao Zhen and said, "Brother, do you really have an eight-tailed spiritual fish that can enhance your physical fitness?"

Zhao Zhen thanked him, and Lu Shanyuan asked Zhao Zhen and others to wait a moment before going out. After a while, he brought a strong man and introduced him. This man is from Tai'an, Lu State. He has mined mines for generations, smelted them, and sold them abroad. He also has considerable wealth. There is a lot of iron in Tai'an, but the price of the iron is only 30 Wen, and no one exchanges it for spiritual objects. This year, several nephews and nephews in the family need spiritual objects to lay the foundation, so they sell iron here in exchange for spiritual objects.

Lu Zhuocheng said: "It's okay, it's better to have some food in hand. After three years of farming, you can have enough food for one year. Of course, this doesn't apply to you. You are a landlord and you have the support of the fantasy world. Disaster Years can’t affect you.”

Lu Zhuocheng told his purpose, and Lu Shanyuan said: "I don't want Sanlang to have powerful friends like Zhao Erlang. Zhao Erlang, can Sanlang understand the situation of this batch of fine iron? The seller needs to replace it with spiritual objects. If not, this batch of fine iron will The deal has been made long ago. What kind of spiritual things can you provide?"

After chatting all the way, the two arrived at the official teeth office. Lu Zhuocheng, who was well-versed in the matter, led Zhao Zhen to visit Lu Zhuocheng's father, Lu Shanyuan. Zhao Zhen calls him uncle and holds the courtesy of son and nephew.

Zhao Zhen said: "Of course I'm interested. Brother, let's go and have a look. If it's suitable, I'd like to buy some."

After that, Lu Zhuocheng left the boy to look after the store, and he and Zhao Zhen left the store, each riding a horse, all the way to Beishi where Guan Ya was located.

Lu Shanyuan nodded and said, "It's not a big problem. I'll negotiate the price again. I'll let him pay the commission for the eight-tailed and four-tailed carp. How about that?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Uncle Lu, Sanlang has told me that I have a few four-bearded carps that can increase my physical fitness. How about exchanging them?"

Zhao Zhen said: "This year has been a good year, and the fields have produced a lot. After excluding daily expenses, there is indeed some surplus, but it is only half a year. In addition, I have to make wine and vinegar in my fantasy world, so there is even less food to sell. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, Mr. Youya is here to testify, there is nothing to worry about."

Lu Shanyuan immediately spoke and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ai, Zhao Erlang's family has a lot of money, and the family has a big business."

Ai Liangshi smiled awkwardly and said: "There has been a lot of talk these days, but not enough spiritual objects, so I am getting a little anxious." As Lu Shanyuan said, Zhao Zhen only exchanged the twenty carts of refined iron with eight tailed four-tailed carps. The two made a contract, and Zhao Zhen wrote another letter to Chao Gai, used the seal, and gave the letter to Lu Shanyuan to read. The letter mentioned the transaction and asked Ai Liangshi to go to Bailiu Village to deliver the iron. When arriving at Bailiu Village, the four-tailed carp was also taken from Bailiu Village.

Seeing that the writing was clear, Lu Shanyuan immediately accompanied Ai Liangshi to complete the transaction. After all, Lu Shanyuan could only get the commission after the transaction was completed.

Before leaving, Lu Shanyuan said to Zhao Zhen: "Xian Zhen, if you have other needs and Sanlang can't find the source of goods, you can come here to find me with Sanlang. Especially for bulk goods, most of them are registered and traded in Guanya."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly thanked Lu Shanyuan and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. If you need it, I will trouble Uncle Lu again."

After some polite greetings, everyone left the office together. Zhao Zhen was also very happy after completing this transaction. Zhao Zhen and Zhao Zhen also left the official dental office and went to the animal husbandry area.

After meeting Zhai Yanhui, Lu Zhuocheng stepped forward to make an introduction. Hearing that Zhao Zhen had done business with his brother Zhai Yanhui, Zhai Yanhui smiled even more.

Zhai Yanhui asked: "Brother, how many horses are needed this time?"

Zhao Zhen asked: "I wonder how many shopkeeper Zhai has?"

Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, I have more than a hundred war horses here, and more than 400 draft and riding horses. Most of them are kept outside the city. If brother only wants war horses, I can only sell you half of them. After all, I still have to rely on these war horses. To solicit business.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Are there any Shire horses for draft horses? Some riding horses are also required."

Zhai Yanhui thought to himself: "It seems that my brother sold the Sharma horse to this person. He must be a person worth making friends with." He immediately said: "Brother, this Sharma horse is not for sale. Brother is a regular customer of my family and wants a lot of horses." , How about if my brother wants ten war horses and twenty riding horses, I will sell him a Shire horse?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Shopkeeper Zhai, this Shire horse is just stronger. It is useless to have too many riding horses. Today, shopkeeper Zhai has spoken. I can't say anything else. It's just that shopkeeper Zhai needs to give in on the price."

Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, please be happy. We are not errand boys. How about a 15% discount on the horse you bought from me last time?"

Zhao Zhe nodded, and the three of them went to a fenced-in racecourse outside the city. The horses were the same as the ones they bought last time. They were tall horses from the Western Regions and had been well trained. Zhao Zhen selected 30 mares, 30 castrated stallions, and 120 riding horses. As for the Shire horses, Zhai Yanhui only had seven here, three males, three females, and one pony.

Seeing Sharma again, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but step forward and touch him. This docile big guy was very lovable. Zhao Zhen said to Zhai Yanhui: "Shop Manager Zhai, these Shire horses are exactly six adult horses. How about this pony as a partner? I wonder if there are stallions here, Manager Zhai?"

Zhai Yanhui nodded and said: "Brother, this pony is given to you. As for the stallion, brothers, you also know that the stallion has a bad temper and travels long distances, which is very inconvenient. This time it is not the case."

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Does Shopkeeper Zhai have any other recommendations?"

Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, what I brought this time are horses. My family also raises brown cattle. These cattle produce a lot of milk and meat. The bulls can grow to 2000 kilograms, and the cows can weigh 800 kilograms, but they can't plow the land. If you want it, brother, I’ll come over next time.”

Zhao Zhen thought in his heart: "This farm cow is reluctant to kill, and I can't eat beef a few times throughout the year. All brothers are good at beef. Although they didn't mention it at the banquet, I can't pretend that I don't know about it." He asked: "The price of cattle How many?"

Zhai Yanhui said: "Eight-month-old calves all have seven ribs, adult cows have 10 ribs, and bulls have 20 ribs."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Zhai, I want a batch of cattle, 300 calves, 100 cows, and 20 breeding bulls."

Zhai Yanhui was overjoyed and said: "Brother, this cow will definitely be delivered before the end of the year. What do you think, brother?"

Zhao Zhen nodded in approval. The two of them calculated their accounts and found that the MCP needed 7410 strings. Zhai Yanhui took the initiative to wipe out the fraction and asked for 7400 strings.

Zhao Zhen said to Lu Zhuocheng and Zhai Yanhui: "Lu Sanlang, I have to ask my brother to lead the way and lead the boss Zhai to drive these horses to Bailiu Village. Then go to the house in Nanshi to get the money."

The two agreed at once, made preparations, and drove their horses to Bailiu Village. Zhao Zhen did not accompany them, but returned to his house in Nanshi.
