Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 152

Chai Lin said with a smile: "I wondered why it was so mysterious. It turned out that I wanted to be an agent. I just went to talk to Zhou Fu directly if I wanted to. Zhou Fu is the big shopkeeper. He is responsible for these things. .”

"I found Zhou Fu and became an agent of Hejian Mansion, but Zhou Fu approved too few goods. In fact, my market is the whole of Daliao. Most Liao people eat beef and mutton. Their hands are very greasy. I like it very much. This kind of soap can remove oil. It is cold in Liao Dynasty in winter, and horse-drawn carriages are selling well. Needless to say, hand-pressed wells and woodworking tools are very useful. I hope Mr. Chai can increase the supply, and we can make a fortune together " Lan Xiner said.

Chai Lin said: "Soap, don't even think about it. Now we can't supply the supply in Dasong, and it is estimated that we will be able to supply a large amount in the second half of next year. Four-wheeled carriages, hand-pressed wells, and carpentry tools can be supplied, but it takes If you want to let go of the supply to Boss Lan, is there any benefit for Boss Lan?"

Lan Xiner wiped her hair at the temples and said, "Don't you think I'm beautiful?"

Chai Lin rolled his eyes angrily, what kind of beauties have you never seen before?Or have you never seen a woman in eight lifetimes, and you still use this old-fashioned beauty trick?
Chai Lin said with a smile: "Boss Lan is beautiful, but I still like to talk about reality. If you don't have something good, how can we talk about it?"

"Master Chai is really quick to speak, refreshing, owner, let's take a look at this medicinal material."

As Lan Xiner spoke, she took a handful of wormwood and handed it to Chai Lin. Although Chai Lin knew a little about herbal medicine, it was just superficial after all.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Lan Xiner said: "This is something that was exchanged from merchants in the Western Regions. It is called Artemisia ascaris. This medicinal material is specially used to treat roundworms in humans and livestock. It is the most common disease, especially the most widely used in livestock breeding. If you don’t want to get fat, take this herbal medicine for half the price, boil it in water and drink it, and it will be effective on the same day.”

"It's natural, but the cost of transporting this herbal medicine from the Western Regions is probably sky-high. There is a genius doctor in my village, and there are other ways to treat roundworms. There is no need to buy this medicinal material." Chai Lin expressed that he was not interested in this medicine.

"Otherwise, this medicine is the best insect repellent, better than rhubarb. Of course, I don't expect to earn any money from Mr. Chai for this medicine. It is only fifty catties as a gift, but I bought it for a thousand taels of silver. Ten catties of seeds will be given to Lord Chai, and you will grow them in the future, but you can sell my herbs cheaply." Lan Xiner said.

"Then thank you, Boss Lan, when I go back to arrange a doctor's experiment, if there are really good results, then spread the seeds on a large scale, which can be regarded as benefiting the people." Chailin said.

Lan Xiner told Chai Lin the detailed usage method, and Chai Lin found a pen to write it down.

Lan Xiner led Chai Lin to the stable, where more than a dozen short and sturdy prairie horses were grazing.

"Master Chai is an expert, can you tell the difference from the grassland you bought?" Lan Xiner asked.

Chailin took a closer look and said, "They are the same short, but they feel a little bit stronger, and the color of their hooves is darker."

"Senior officials observe meticulously. There are actually several types of prairie horses that we usually talk about. This is the iron-shoe horse in the prairie horse. Because it grows in a mountainous area, its body is stronger and its hooves are very hard. It is known as the iron-shoe horse. , you don’t need to hit the horseshoe.” Lan Xiner introduced.

Chai Lin hid the ecstasy in his heart. This is the Baicha iron-shoe horse that will become famous all over the world decades later. Now it is still a third-class horse in the Daliao Kingdom. It is often used as a meat horse, a farm horse, and a horse for civilians.

"Selling a piece of skin, the horse is only used to pull a cart and plow the land. I bought it to breed mules, and there is no other use for it." Chailin said.

Lan Xiner knows this very well. This kind of prairie horse is not as tall as a donkey, and it is very difficult to sell in the market. Ordinary people would rather spend 15 taels of silver or 20 taels of silver to buy a mule than a prairie horse.Because mules have a good temper and eat less, they are not as irritable as horses.

"Master Chai knows what happened in Zengtou City. In just seven or eight years, he went from being unknown to the richest man on Shandong Road, relying on horses, donkeys, and mules. The profits of big animals are very large. With Master Chai's ability, If you put the horses in foster care, you will be able to get back several times the number of mules in a few years, which is a waste of money. If you foster 15 mares, there will be at least 30 mules in five years. If a mule is calculated at [-] taels of silver, then there are [-] taels of silver." Lan Xiner made a calculation for Chailin.

Chai Lin said: "Accounts are not calculated that way. It takes time to raise horses and grass materials. And there is a saying that if a family has a lot of money, it doesn't count if it has hair. To do this kind of business, you have to bear huge risks. Tell me How many horses can you supply at your price."

"What I gave to the senior officials was the base price, eight taels of silver per horse, and the Hejian Mansion picked them up by themselves. Most of them were adult mares, and a few stallions and foals." Lan Xiner said.

"Does Boss Lan think that I have never been to the grassland? This kind of horse does not cost more than one tael of silver per horse. Dozens of catties of tea, a pot of iron pot can be exchanged for a horse, and a good ax can be exchanged for a horse." You must know that these horses are all raw horses, they can’t do work, they can’t pull carts, how much time will it take to train? Male horses may not have been trained, but mares and geldings are required to be trained, seven taels of silver One, the age of the mare must not be more than five years old, if there is a foal, it will be calculated at eight taels of silver, and it will be delivered to Chaijiazhuang for delivery, and the deal will be made if it is suitable." Chai Lin said.

Lan Xiner was a little puzzled, how did Chai Lin know the situation on the grassland so well, although the Liao Kingdom lost half of the world, the grassland is very huge, and there are as many horses as there are stars in the sky, it is ten times the profit when they come and go .

"Okay, deal. I will supply about [-] horseshoe horses a month. I want [-] carriages a month, [-] sets of carpentry tools, and [-] sets of hand-pressed wells." Lan Xiner raised her conditions. .

Chai Lin said: "No problem, but we have to agree that the products of our Chaijiazhuang will not be sold to the Daliao Kingdom. It belongs to your dealer's private transaction and has nothing to do with Chaijiazhuang."

"It's natural. Don't worry, my lord. Whether it's the frontier army of the Liao Kingdom or the Song Dynasty, our Lan family will be unimpeded, and there will definitely be no problems." Lan Xiner said.

Chai Lin also has difficulties in putting aside the relationship in this way. The century-old hatred between Daliao and Ding Song is difficult to resolve.Therefore, doing business with the Liao Kingdom is done in secret and cannot be brought to the table. As for the power of the Lan family in the Liao Kingdom, that is not something that Chai Lin considers, and no one has any secrets.

Lanjia Commercial Bank signed a contract with Zhou Fu, and both parties will supply in cash.First, Lan Xin'er delivered one hundred carriages and one thousand sets of carpentry tools, and then after the beginning of spring warmed up, Lan's family delivered the first batch of trained iron-hoofed horses.

On the way back, Chai Lin was ecstatic, with a happy face.

Dian Zhengnan said: "Brother, why are you so happy, it seems like a blind date has been settled."

Chai Lin was speechless. There was nothing to say about this classic martial arts, but sometimes his brain was a little hard to use.

"You don't farm land, how can you understand the importance of mules and horses. My brother just negotiated a big business of 30.00 horses. Now the proportion of farmers in Cangzhou using cattle and horses to cultivate land is very low, only about [-]%. I will use it for three years In about time, increase this ratio to about [-]%. By that time, large animals will be used for plowing land and pulling carts, which can save hundreds of thousands of laborers to engage in other industries." Chailin said.
