Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 131
Xie Zhen said: "Understood, let's take the officials there."

The two took a big two-wheeled carriage in the yard. This kind of carriage is used for pulling goods. The carriage has a long frame, and a dozen people can sit in it. Of course, this carriage has no comfort at all.Chai Lin, Chai Meng and others got into the carriage.

Xie Bao can also drive a car, and Xie Zhen chatted while walking, saying, "Brother, how many red pine trees are you planning to buy? If the quantity is small, we will go to the market. Three hundred and five hundred trees can be prepared in one day."

Chai Lin said: "My Zhuangzi has opened several woodworking workshops, and the consumption is too large. At least it will cost thousands of trees, and there will be more in the future."

"Then you can't go to the market, Xie Bao, turn around and go to Zou Runna, his mountain farm has gone to the sea of ​​wood."

"Okay, everyone, sit down, let's go."

Xie Bao flicked his big whip, and the two mules pulling the cart suddenly exerted their strength and ran eastward along the main road. It was quite a long way, and after walking for twenty miles, there was a tall mountain in front of it, and the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. .

The car drove along the path, walked another five or six miles, and stopped at the foot of a mountain near the sea.There was a big manor in front of it, suddenly a dozen men with sticks came out and shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Xie Zhen scolded: "What are you yelling about? It's me. I'm here to see you. The boss has something to do, big business."

These men saw that they were acquaintances, and immediately came over and clasped their fists: "I'm sorry, it turned out to be Brother Xie Zhen, who are these?"

Xie Zhen said: "This is a merchant from another place, buying wood."

"Hurry up, please come inside, the two masters are here."

Entering the manor, the area inside is very large, at least three to four hundred acres, with mountains of wood piled up everywhere, and salted fish, seafood, etc. to dry everywhere.Several houses were burning and smoking, and the air was filled with the smell of salt, obviously secretly brewing private salt.

"Haha, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, I haven't come here for a while, what kind of wind brought you two here." A man came out to greet him. He was tall and tall, at least 1.8 meters in height, and he was less than 30 years old. At a young age, with a bald head and no hat, there is a tumor on the back of his head, which is probably a lipoma.

Xie Zhen said: "Brother Zou Run, let me introduce you. This is Chai Lin, the owner of Chaijiazhuang in Cangzhou."

Zou Run looked Chai Lin up and down, clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be the well-known Chai Daguan, who came to the humble house, it's really full of splendor."

Chai Lin laughed and said: "Brother Zou Run was joking, your manor is still a humble house with three to five hundred acres, so what will happen to others. I came here today for nothing else, I just need to buy some aniseed red pine. I don't know if you have any. "

Zou Run said: "Your official has come to the right place. I have a lot of red pines here. Let's have tea in the room first."

Zou Run took Chai Lin, Xie Zhen and others into the living room to watch tea, but he hadn't reached the door yet.Another man came out, similar to Zou Run, with a long face, above average build, sturdy and majestic, and looked about the same age as Zou Run.

"Zou Run, you didn't even notify me when you come here." The visitor said.

Zou Run said: "I'm afraid that my uncle is making out with some girl, so I didn't bother you."

"It's not big or small, I'll clean you up later."

Zou Run put away his hippie smile and introduced to Chai Lin: "Master Chai, this is my uncle Zou Yuan, but he is only three years older than me."

Zou Yuan quickly clasped his fists and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let's go inside, the room is warm."

Winter by the seaside is cold and windy, so fire walls and fireplaces are built to keep them warm.Zou Yuan is quite good at enjoying himself, the decoration in the room is quite good, there are complete coffee tables and tables, and a copper pot is burning on the small red clay stove.

The uncle and nephew were very polite. After drinking tea in the house, they came to the lumber yard next to them. Dozens of piles of red pine materials were piled up, and they were basically as thick as one person hugged.

Zou Yuan said: "These timbers were felled two years ago, they are all dry, and they can be used wherever they go. They are absolutely good materials."

"Well, okay, let me take a look."

Chai Lin is no layman, and has some research on wood.Measure the length, measure the diameter, and check the dryness and humidity. Generally speaking, it is still very good.

Chai Lin nodded and said, "Yes, this batch of Korean pine is not bad. Although it is not as good as the Korean pine in Liaodong, the quality is quite good."

Zou Yuan said: "There are no outsiders here, they are all introduced by acquaintances. The price is based on [-]% of the market price. I will find a ship for you to transport to the dock. Of course, Chai Zhuang will pay for the freight, but the freight must be appropriate and not expensive."

Zou Run took the abacus and calculated the payment for Chai Lin. Chai Lin felt that it was suitable, so he paid a [-]% deposit first, and the uncle and nephew hired a boat to deliver it, and then Chai Lin paid the balance.

Chai Lin said: "Okay, I'm the one to make the decision this time. I'll give you 2000 taels of silver first. It's inconvenient to take out silver when you go out, so I'll give you 100 taels of gold. The final payment is 1000 taels of silver."

As he spoke, Chai Lin took two 50 taels of gold ingots from Chai Meng and handed them to Zou Run.

Zou Yuan's eyes were straightened, and it was the first time he met such a straightforward customer in more than ten years of business, he didn't cut down the price, didn't make any fuss, and paid the money directly with a large piece of gold.

Zou Run took the gold and bit it into his mouth, and Zou Yuan scolded: "You man, the gold ingots given by the owner of Chai Zhuang, you just took a bite, and now you are disfigured, with two more tooth marks."

"I, isn't this the first time I've seen Jin Yuanbao?" Zou Run said aggrievedly.

The goods of 2000 taels of silver are close to [-] cubic meters, and the aniseed also needs a thousand pieces.It took three or four days to prepare and ship the goods, so Chai Lin naturally had no time to wait.

Chai Lin said: "Both proprietors, I will leave the matter of timber to you two. I still have to buy ten centipede boats, so I will go back first."

Zou Yuan said: "Master Chai, don't worry. This trip needs at least [-] centipede boats to complete the shipment. The boat owner is planning to sell some boats. They are all old boats, but they haven't been used for long, three years. About. After the goods arrive, the Chai owner will arrange for someone to look at them, and if they can get on the boat, and the price can be negotiated, then buy a part of the boat, and if you don’t like it, we can just come back.”

"Very good, very good. Then it's settled. I'll arrange someone to look at the ships when they pick up the goods, and I'll buy a few if they're suitable." Chailin said.

The business has been negotiated, Zou Run said: "Master Chai, I heard that you beat a tiger with a shovel, and a dozen riders attacked hundreds of bandits. Can you show us your hand?"

Zou Yuan glared, and said, "Zou Run, you are messing around again. What is the status of Chai Zhuangzhu, how can you play around at will."

Xie Zhen also said: "The tiger is powerful and ferocious, with very sharp claws and teeth. It is known as the king of beasts. Since Zhuangzhu can kill the tiger quickly, he must have something special."

This joke was a bit big, it was to increase the admiration value at the time, I didn't expect that the storytelling was so hardworking, it spread all over the world.
