Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 60 Negotiations
In fact, Quanzhou was already a prosperous port in the Tang Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty established the Municipal Shipping Department, it developed rapidly.

Among them, the inn is one of the fastest growing industries.

Because of the sea transportation, there are many merchants here, not only guests from the north of the inland, but also many foreign businessmen.

These people are different in everything, but they have one thing in common—money!
Very rich!
Therefore, the inn is becoming more and more luxurious, more perfect, and more intimate.

It is more comfortable and convenient than living in your own home.

The Shenxian Pavilion, the largest inn in Quanzhou, is even more outstanding.

The individual courtyards are more exquisitely built than those of the big families.

In the small courtyard, there is a patio, a few clumps of pruning bamboo, and a few clusters of evening chrysanthemums, which decorate the small courtyard elegantly and neatly.

Of course, it would have been many years if there was not a man wearing a flowery gown with half-unbuttoned hair sitting beside the tea table made of logs.

Li Xiang's footsteps paused unconsciously, and he turned his head to look at Xie Jue.

Xie Jue lowered his head halfway, pretending to be honest.

Li Xiang unconsciously smiled, stepped in, cupped his hands and said, "I, Li Xiang, have met Mr. Liu."

The young man raised his head, turned his pair of peach blossom eyes, paused on Xie Jue, pointed to the chair by the tea table and said, "I'm not used to being polite, so you don't have to be restrained, just sit down."

This is actually a bit rude to say, but although everyone is a businessman, but with the word "Huang" on it, it will be superior.

Li Xiang thought about what Xie Jue said, and didn't mind, so he went straight to sit on the chair.

Seeing that the boy's gaze was still on Xie Jue, he hurriedly said, "This is Xie Jue, we came back together."

Xie Jue smiled at the boy, showing two rows of big yellow teeth.

The boy frowned, and immediately stopped looking at him, turned around, and said lightly, "Sit down."

After Xie Jue sat down, he seemed to remember something and said, "My surname is Liu Mingqi, and I come from the capital."

This is tantamount to responding to the first two self-reports.

Li Xiang wanted to salute again, Liu Qi waved his hands and said, "Don't be too polite, we are all businessmen, so don't talk about those empty courtesy."

To be polite, you are older than me, I have to go back, how tired I am.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Okay."

"He's a cheerful person." Liu Qi raised his hand and poured out the freshly brewed tea soup, pushed the tea bowl towards the two of them, and said, "Then I won't go around the bush anymore, I'll take all the borneol and agarwood you brought back this time .”

Li Xiang was slightly taken aback.

Liu Qi has already answered: "You have registered with the Shipbuilding Department, a total of 85 catties of borneol and 120 catties of agarwood, removed, 25% of the lottery, and [-] catties of borneol and [-] catties of agarwood. Your borneols are divided into three grades. I sell [-] guan for oil brain, [-] guan for rice brain, [-] guan for plum flower brain, and agarwood. Your products are second class, and the second class is water fragrance I offer [-] guan for a catty, and when the water sinks, I offer [-] guan for a catty.”

Frowning, Liu Qi added some tea soup to Xie Jue, and said with a slight smile, "For those Qinan on Mr. Xie's boat, I will give you eighty pennies and one tael."

Xie Jue was taken aback.

Qinan?How did he not know that there was still Qinan left in his cargo?
At that time, he put all the Qinan bought in Annan in the box and sent them down ahead of time.

That's right, at that time Lord Zhu Lina came according to the amount that the elephant could carry, and he only cared about filling the quantity, so he didn't classify it at all, and there were so many spices that Manager Gong probably couldn't judge, so they mixed them together.

(Annan can distinguish clearly because Qinan is much more valuable than other grades of agarwood)
But now that most of Chen Xiang has been transported to Li Xiang's ship, and some crew members have recited it, there is not much Chen Xiang left on the ship, so the hand can distinguish Qinan among them...

But Qinan, he doesn't want to sell
With a slight smile, Xie Jue was about to speak when Liu Qi had already answered: "Young Master Xie, you have about 50 catties of Qinan, I don't need much more, as long as ten catties are enough, this Qinan, I am going to use it as a medicine quote .”

When he said this, he had already sat up straight, poured tea for Xie Jue with his arms straight, bowed his head and bowed to Xie Jue solemnly and said: "The medicine is used to save people, so please be sure to agree, Young Master Xie." I."

As soon as he was sitting upright, his demeanor suddenly changed, and even the colorful clothes looked much more elegant.

Li Xiang also sat up straight subconsciously.

Xie Jue's heart moved slightly, but the expression on his face did not change at all, he still smiled with two rows of big yellow teeth: "If so, then sell it to the young master for twenty catties, but can you share the life-saving medicine with me?"

The corners of Liu Qi's eyes twitched, the water in those peach blossom eyes seemed to turn around, and the person lost his normal shape immediately.

Leaning back in the chair, he said: "Smart people, I like to talk to smart people, okay, I promise you, the medicine is ready, I will give you five pills, but you have to give me five catties of Qinan."

According to his price, a catty of Qinan is [-] guan.

Li Xiang smacked his mouth lightly, what kind of medicine is this that costs so much for one pill?
Xie Jue smiled and said, "Deal."

That Han imperial physician cured his mother, who was disliked by several doctors, with just one prescription. Xie Jue believed that the medicine he prescribed could indeed save lives as Liu Qi said.

Liu Qi pursed his lips and smiled, and when his eyes rolled around, he came out with a bewitching look, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Xie, is the deal about Qinan, or all the spices?"

Xie Jue unconsciously thought of what Su Yue said, it was very demonic.

"Master Liu, these are not small sums." Li Xiang coughed lightly.

Both borneol and agarwood have their own grades. Liu Qi's price is [-]% of the price in Quanzhou, and [-]% of the price in the capital mentioned by the special library, but this price is already unimaginable for maritime merchants.

Because it is a long way from Quanzhou to the capital, and the freight and commercial taxes in the middle are quite a lot.

If they don't sell it themselves but sell it to spice merchants in Quanzhou, the price is only [-]% of the price in Quanzhou.

After all, the market price is the market price, and the spice merchants also make money.

The problem is, he bought all of these. According to his price, the total would be more than 300 million.

Is this a payment of copper coins...or a payment of jiazi?

(Jiaozi: The unique banknotes of the Song Dynasty, with the number of coins written on it, are issued by the government. They can be exchanged for copper coins or silver. If you don’t understand, just look at it as a silver ticket.)

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Master Li, don't worry, copper coins, silver, and Jiaozi, you can choose one, but if it's all copper coins and silver, it will have to wait a while, I'm afraid that the copper coins in Quanzhou City The silver is not enough for me to exchange."

Jiaozi can be used as money, and can also be exchanged for copper coins and silver at government silver accounts.

However, the exchange rate fluctuates occasionally.

Most of the time, those marked 800 guan can only be exchanged for [-] guan of actual copper coins, or [-] taels of silver.

Li Xiang looked at Xie Jue.

The goods are basically his (he didn't grab many), so taking the delivery is equivalent to a [-]% loss.

Xie Jue smiled slightly and said: "If there is silver, I hope Mr. Liu can give 50 taels, and the rest can be used by Jiaozi. However, can Mr. Liu help me get next year's tribute tea?"

Liu Qi laughed out loud and said, "Young Master Xie, I think we can be good partners. Okay, I'll help you get 20 catties! I'll give you a discount on the price of tea, [-] Wen per catty."

Guanzhuang produces a lot of tribute tea. Except for the top grades like Longtuan Yunding, which are only tributed to the imperial palace, the rest are not so good in quality, and some of them can be sold by merchants, but they must have a lead issued by the government.

A catty of medium tribute tea can earn at least three consecutive profits.

(Li Xiang: I'd better go back to retire)
