"Oh, the weather is too hot. This is shearing the sheep. If the wool is not sheared, the sheep will get sick from the heat!" Hua Mulan explained.

Several masters were very surprised, "Is there such a thing? If the hair is cut off, these sheep are equivalent to stripping off their clothes, and the whole body is naked. Isn't that good?"

Ma Er next to him smiled and said, "It's just animals, how can they know what shame is?"

"That's true!" Several masters nodded.

Hua Mulan asked at this time: "I don't know why the masters came from afar today?"

Master Hong from Suiyang City smiled and said: "Young Castle Master, please don't be so secretive. We are all in the livestock business. Of course, we came here to buy a batch of livestock. Now there is a shortage of meat in the market. You It's not that I don't know!"

"That's all right, just invite the masters to rest in the castle, and let's talk in detail while drinking tea!" Hua Mulan said with a gesture of reaching out her hand.

"Okay, please!"

All the gentlemen entered Huajiabao together with Hua Mulan to discuss the affairs and divide the guests and hosts to sit in the hall.

After the tea was served, Hua Mulan asked, "I wonder how many animals each master needs this time?"

Master Pi from Zhe County laughed and said, "This time, Pi plans to buy one thousand sheep and three hundred cows at once!"

"I want fifteen hundred sheep and two hundred cattle!"

Several other masters also reported the quantity one after another.

Hua Mulan said with a smile: "Masters came just in time, almost [-] sheep have been sheared, and when you rush back, you won't get sick from the heat again! Come, get ready [-] sheep, Two thousand cows!"

Master Li of Suiyang City quickly waved his hand: "Come on, come on, young castle master, should we settle the price first? If you have all the cattle and sheep ready, the price of the transaction between us is not the same." Wouldn't it be beautiful to talk about it?"

"Extremely extreme, we should negotiate the price first!" Several other masters also echoed.

Seeing this, Hua Mulan smiled and said, "That's good! It's still according to the old rules, because you buy in large quantities, and you can't weigh each sheep or cow, so you can only calculate the price based on the quantity, no matter whether the animal is strong or not. If they are thin, they will all be driven away by the Bodings with whips, as long as they make up enough numbers, I don’t know if you think so?"

This method is the most convenient and hassle-free method. In every group of animals, there are always some thin ones and some fat ones. It is hard to say who will suffer and who will take advantage. Moreover, these gentlemen are all together, and Hua Mulan is not good either. Negotiating prices with them separately can only be sold at a unified price.

All the gentlemen nodded and said, "Good!"

"Since all the lords have agreed to follow this method, let's talk about the specific price. Today's price is [-] yuan per sheep and [-] yuan per cow. These are the prices of rams and bulls. It’s dairy goats and cows, the price will go up by [-]%!”

Shopkeeper Li of Suiyang City shouted: "Master Shaobao, are you kidding? A few days ago, a sheep was only a hundred dollars, and a cow was only four or two hundred dollars. You have grown by [-]%!"

"That's right, Young Castle Master, aren't you being too kind? This price increase is too outrageous!"

Hua Mulan raised her hands and pressed her hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I'll tell you, don't you know that in this season, the animals are the most edible, and the animals in my ranch can eat them every day. A mountain, in the past month, I have suffered heavy losses. I also know that it is not good to raise the price suddenly, but I, Huajiabao, can't afford this kind of loss, so I have to raise the price to make up for the loss. Please also The master understands one or two!"

Master Fu from Bo County said: "Young Castle Master, what you are doing is unethical. We also know that you are losing money, but you can't pass this loss on to us, can you? We are not as rich as you, and we are also losing money Sorry!"

Hua Mulan shook her head with a smile and said, "Everyone, I know how you feel, but you are only middlemen, and I know that you will not lose money anyway. If I raise prices here, you will naturally have to increase prices when you sell to butchers and other vendors." Yes, how can you bear the loss? You are all shrewd people, how can you suffer such a loss?"

Master Hong of Suiyang Cheng said with a bitter face: "If we raise the price to sell, we have to buy it from the butchers and other small traders!"

Hua Mulan was very patient, and said: "Everyone, I, Huamu people, can guarantee that [-]% of the cattle and sheep in the entire Liang County are in my Huajiabao. More than success! If I don’t sell cattle and sheep here, there are almost no cattle, sheep and meat in the market south of the Yellow River, so there is still an extreme shortage of livestock and meat in the market, otherwise you would not come to me. It went elsewhere, didn't it?"

Hua Mulan obviously hit the nail on the head, and the masters looked at each other, all discouraged.

Master Li still wanted to fight for it, and said: "So, Master Young, can you make a [-]% discount? This business is a long-term business, not a one-time deal. You can't just ask for the price you want. Don't let us counter-offer? "

"That's right, that's right, [-]% less, okay?"

Hua Mulan thought for a while, and this time the price was suddenly increased by more than [-]%, which is indeed a bit larger. It is no wonder that these gentlemen did not accept it, so she said: "These gentlemen are regular customers, so I won't let you down. I’m afraid it’s uncomfortable, so how about it, one price, [-]% off, no more!”

Seeing Hua Mulan's resolute tone, these gentlemen also knew that this was the maximum concession, so they all agreed.

In fact, they all know that almost all the livestock south of the Yellow River are in Huajiapu. If they don’t buy from here, they will have no place to buy in a short time. I am afraid that the supply will be in short supply.After all, almost all the officials and the people have not eaten mutton or beef for more than a month.

In the next few days, according to Zhao Junsheng's instructions, Hua Mulan raised the price by [-]% every day, which made the livestock traders complain, but they had to buy it reluctantly.

The traders who bought a large number of livestock first saw that the price of livestock in Huajiabao was soaring every day. They originally wanted to sell them immediately and decided not to sell them. They decided to wait until the price rose to a similar level before selling.

As a result, the price of cattle and sheep throughout the south of the Yellow River is strongly influenced by Huajiabao, and the price given by Huajiabao has become a weather vane.

After fourteen days like this, the price of cattle and sheep has tripled directly, and the logistics business of various post stations and post houses under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Department has also been rolled out, and the number of private letters and goods received is increasing day by day. It also created a large number of letter writers in Liang County and made a living by doing so.

Taishoufu, Law and Cao Department.

Ling Shi Peijin approached Zhao Junsheng's class treacherously, he closed the door and went to Zhao Junsheng bowed his waist and reported in a low voice: "Joining the army, there is another official document sent from above to the prefect!"

"Where?"

Pei Jin took out a silk bag from his big sleeve and handed it to Zhao Junsheng. After Zhao Junsheng took it, he quickly opened it, and took out a shaft to unfold it. This official document stated that the emperor's imperial car would enter Liang County two days later, and Wan Du should bring it back with him. Go to greet them with soldiers and horses, and you can bring some officials from the county with you. At critical moments, these officials must be able to answer the emperor's inquiries about the military and political affairs of the county.

Zhao Junsheng packed the official document and handed it to Pei Jin silently, and asked, "Have you read the content above?"

How dare Pei Jin, shaking his head like a rattle: "How dare this subordinate?"

"Pass my words, everyone is not allowed to go anywhere these days, and no one is allowed to ask for leave during the duty period. I will handle the official duties that I am responsible for properly. If someone has a problem, I will make him unable to bear it. Walk!"

Chapter 79 The First Love Letter

Sending Pei Jin away, Zhao Junsheng felt that time was running out, and he had to spread the news to Huajiabao as soon as possible so that Hua Mulan would stop raising prices, and he could not leave any excuses for others.

He took a piece of white paper and spread it on the table, dipped the pen in the ink, thought for a moment and wrote, and finished it in one stroke.

He packed the letter paper in an envelope, sealed it with wax, called Liang Yi who was watching from the side and asked, "Liang Yi, come here!"

The half-old child, Liang Yi, immediately put down the shaft and came over and asked, "Master, what do you want to order?"

"How are you learning to ride these days?"

Liang Yi replied: "Go back to Young Master, you can run away on horseback!"

Children learn things quickly, Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart, looked at the boy who had grown into half a child, and said, "Liang Yi, you are already 13 years old, and you are a person who can start a family, start a business and be the master of your own house. How about giving you an errand as a test for you?"

Liang Yi straightened her small chest: "Young Master, please give me instructions!"

"You should have heard your grandfather talk about Huajiabao. Today, you send a letter to the young master to Huajiabao, and give the letter to the sister Hua you met last time! You ride out of the south gate and walk along the riverside. Keep running to the south, and after running for more than an hour, you can see a large number of cattle and sheep, and ask everyone where Sister Hua is, and someone will take you to find her, understand?"

"Understood, young master, don't worry, I promise to deliver the letter to Sister Hua!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng patted Liang Yi's small shoulders, and said, "After handing the letter to her, tell her the word 'daily limit', and she will know what's going on. Eat at Huajiabao Come back after lunch, don't delay on the way. Go, I'll take you out!"

Seeing Liang Yi riding away from the gate of the prefect's mansion with his own eyes, Zhao Junsheng turned around and returned, but before he reached the gate of the Fa Cao Department's squad room, he was stopped by someone: "Zhao joins the army!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped and looked back. It turned out that he was a small official under the prefect's door, equivalent to an ordinary staff member of the city government. He jokingly asked, "Your servant, what are your orders?"

"Oh, how dare I tell you? That's how it is. Mr. He, who joined the army, told the chief officials of the various departments to go to the lobby to discuss matters. Go right away, don't keep the general waiting for a long time!"

Playing things to join the army used to be called playing things to join the army. After the reform of the imperial court, all the official history was renamed to join the army. This Mr. He is called He Min, and he is an official in charge of the meeting in the prefect's mansion.
