Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen looked at the weather and really didn't want to go to Bole Market, so he asked Lu Zhuocheng, "How many horses does he have for sale?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "300 horses can be used as war horses and 600 riding horses."

Zhao Zhen asked: "How much does it cost to ride a horse?"

Lu Zhuocheng stretched out his hand and gestured, "Fifteen sticks."

Zhao Zhen said: "I can eat this horse, but these days, I am at home with Qingwan, and I am too lazy to go back and forth. If Sun Yuanwai is willing to wait more than ten days and send the horse to Bailiu Village, how about the deal then?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "I think he is willing. I will go to Boleji Township to finalize the matter."

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked Ji Qingwan to get 4,000 silver notes as a deposit.

Lu Zhuocheng took it and was about to leave. As soon as he stood up, he sat down again and said, "By the way, one more thing. I saw that the Geng cakes in the shop in front are also sold in limited quantities, but the harvest is not enough this year?"

"Um?"

"Hey, I know a friend who is a private dentist. A customer asked for candied fruit and came to your house to buy some. I wanted to buy more but had no way, so I didn't find an acquaintance to inquire about it, so I found me here."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "There are no less Geng cakes than last year, but my wife wants to promote the sale of other items, and the daily quota is limited. There are also many candied fruits on the market. Where is this customer from? He wants so much." "

Lu Zhuocheng said: "A guest from Huainan East Road, surnamed Du, ate your Geng cake and couldn't forget it. He came here three times and wanted to buy more, but Mrs. Xuan refused. Knowing that I have some relationship with you, I won't let you Let me say something."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "Does this shopkeeper Du have any rare goods that can be exchanged?"

"They are all Huainan's unique yarn, silk, Gebu, wax, dendrobium and other materials."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen realized that they were not items he was in short supply. No wonder Ji Xuan was unwilling to sell more.

Zhao Zhen said: "They are not what I need. For your sake, I asked Madam Xuan to take out five hundred catties. It is a normal transaction."

After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng showed a smile on his face and said, "Brother is still reliable. I will tell shopkeeper Du and Sun Erlang to come and trade. Brother, I also met these two people and listened to what this person said. Talking about Huainan’s scenery will be useful in the future.”

"That's right. There's no competition at all. It's best if you can retain some incense, but I'm afraid he'll have too much appetite." Zhao Zhen said.

"I'm going to talk about this matter. I can't give you an advantage. If the favor is not lost, there will be resentment."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's not urgent today. I have something else to ask you. Has anyone come to sell tea recently?"

Lu Zhuocheng heard this and asked in surprise: "You want to buy tea?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I also have a way to purchase war horses in the fantasy world. The best way is to trade with tea. The tea does not need to be good, rough tea can be accepted, the more the better."

Zhao Zhen also thought about this. Buying horses from the fantasy world, although there are various obstacles, the price is the lowest.

According to Zhao Zhen's idea, it would be best if he could invite a Khitan tribe, whether they are soldiers or herding cattle and sheep, it would be a good choice.

After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng said: "I haven't heard of anyone selling tea recently. If you want it, I can make a trip to Yi Country and buy it in Laoshan Mountain."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "That's fine, you can decide it yourself. If a date is set, I will ask my wife to prepare the money."

Lu Zhuocheng looked excited. When it comes to his business, the person who helps him the most is not his own father, but his current classmate and friend.

The next day, Lu Zhuocheng took Sun Erlang and Shopkeeper Du to work. After some polite greetings, Shopkeeper Du handed over his hands and said: "Zhao Yuanwai, I heard from Lu Ya people that Yuanwai has a lot of great foundations in the fantasy world. I don't know. Can I need shipbuilding drawings?”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen glanced at Lu Zhuocheng, who was shaking his head silently, and knew that it was shopkeeper Du's new deal. Immediately he said: "There is a territory. What does Shopkeeper Du mean by this?"

Shopkeeper Du didn't do any riddles, instead he asked someone to bring a box and pushed it in front of Zhao Zhen. He opened his mouth and said: "Executive officer, I have a set of river dredging boat blueprints here, which can help people master the construction of river dredging boats and dredge rivers. I wonder if you need it, expatriate officer?"

world log

Drawing of a river dredging boat (the sages made a dredging rake to dredge the river. Use a wooden rake eight feet long and two feet long in the teeth to attach the stones to the bottom of the river, and use a windlass to twist the wooden rake on two boats anchored eighty steps apart. , shake the sand back and forth, and then move the boats to dredge sections. Three people can be employed as dredgers every year.

Shipwright: (Familiar with the structure of dredging river boats and able to build river dredging boats.)

Professional skills: mortise and tenon, caulking, applying tung oil.

After Zhao Zhen looked at it, he asked: "Shopkeeper Du, although the value of this [Dredging River Boat Drawing] is difficult to evaluate, it is an object that can be passed down. I wonder what Shopkeeper Du wants?"

Shopkeeper Du laughed after hearing this and said: "Executive officer, although this blueprint only allows people to master the manufacturing method of [dredging boats], they are still employed as shipwrights. How about 3,000 yuan for this blueprint?"

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded. The value of this blueprint does not lie in the manufacturing method of the [River Dredging Boat]. As for the use of the River Dredging Boat, it can only be used in rapid rivers, so that the stirred up sediment can be washed downstream with the river water.

That's not right. Now the Yellow River passes through our territory. Xu He, Kong Hou and others once told themselves that the hidden dangers of the Yellow River are not small. Since ancient times, it has the habit of bursting open every three years and changing its course once every hundred years. They should pay more attention to it.

Having this boat can provide some relief.

In Zhao Zhen's view, the most valuable part right now is being able to join the shipwright professional branch.

After all, as long as Meng Kang and Ye Chun join the shipwright branch, other ships can quickly learn it.

"These drawings have been replaced with Geng cakes. I have also brought many characteristics of the Huainan countries. If you are interested, please buy some so that I can return home as soon as possible. Thank you for your kindness!" Shopkeeper Du smiled. road.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen naturally agreed in his heart, but he still hesitated on his face. He patted his thigh and said, "Okay. Just follow what Shopkeeper Du said. Shopkeeper Du will also buy products from Shandong countries when he returns to Huainan. How about going to my store to pick up some specialties?”

Shopkeeper Du listened and naturally agreed. After all, if nothing else, taking this cool bamboo mat and goose feather fan back home will be a good deal next summer. At the moment, he was full of words.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen called out Ji Xuan and asked Ji Xuan to complete the transaction with shopkeeper Du's staff.

It's not that she doesn't trust Tian Xingping, but that after Ji Xuan takes up the merchant profession, she needs to trade to gain professional experience and advance. Especially for such large transactions, Ji Xuan has always been involved in completing them.

Now among the four Ji family members, Ji Xuan's attributes have surpassed those of Ji Qingwan and the other three, from the lowest level to the highest level.

During the transaction time, Zhao Zhen asked Shopkeeper Du: "Shopkeeper Du, since you can come up with the drawings of the [River Dredging Boat], I wonder if there are other ways to control the siltation of the river."

Shopkeeper Du listened, nodded and said: "There are many rivers where I live, and they need to be dredged every year. There are indeed many ways to manage them. If you need it, I will have someone make a copy. I will come next year and send it to you. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen naturally thanked him and said to Shopkeeper Du: "It's not good for Shopkeeper Du to make this trip in vain. If Shopkeeper Du is interested, he can bring some tea. Coarse tea and tea cakes of this quality cost more than a thousand stones." I can eat more here, too.”

Shopkeeper Du was naturally happy after hearing this. He asked: "Master, of course I can purchase this coarse tea and deliver it to you. What's the price?"

Zhao Zhen said: "This coarse tea costs 70 Wen per catty. If it is good tea, the price is higher. Ordinary tea costs 220 Wen. The best tea, if you are advanced, costs 300 Wen."

Shopkeeper Du listened and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, members, I will come over after the new year."

After seeing off Shopkeeper Du, Sun Erlang, and Lu Zhuocheng, Ji Xuan said to Zhao Zhen: "Husband, in addition to the Geng cakes used for trading, I exchanged the cool bamboo mats, goose feather fans, boxwood carvings, and peony bone carvings for Shopkeeper Du's belt. The yarn, silk, grass cloth, wax, and dendrobium are worth five thousand guan."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a loss if he puts the items he brought in the store and slowly resells them at a higher price."
