Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Zhao Wen led Zhao Daniu into the market.

Zhao Wen had never sold goods in the Ming Dynasty before, so he didn't know what the process of selling goods was.So he asked Zhao Daniu to park the cart in a corner, let Zhao Daniu and Wang Qi guard it, and walked around first.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Wen saw a Tartar pulling a few horses arguing with a middle-aged man with a goatee.Zhao Wen became interested for a while, so he stood there and watched with relish.

"What are you talking about? Our fine horses are rare horses on the prairie. You only pay 20 taels of silver for each horse. You are blackmailing. You Ming people are like this. You are extremely greedy for money." Wearing a tattered leather jacket, the smelly Tazi spoke broken Chinese and argued with a middle-aged man in a robe and a goatee.

The goatee stroked the beard on his chin and walked around the horses a few times.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the buttocks are too small, and the horse's hooves are too small." Goat nonsense stretched out his hand, pinched the horse's back a few times, and then said: "It's not a good horse without fat. It's just a draft horse at best. No horses."

Seeing the goatee slandering his horse so much, the tartar turned cold instantly, and he roared angrily: "You are a wise man, you don't even know what a horse is. I won't sell it to you, I want to leave."

As the tartar said, he wanted to pull the steed away.

The goatee squinted his eyes and looked at the tartar, how could he let him run away with the fat sheep he got.

So he snorted and said to the strong men beside him, "Stop him!"

A few brawny men in bunts, more than eight feet tall like an iron tower stood in front of the tartar, and said coldly, "You can't leave today!"

That Tartar was also very hot-tempered, and when he saw that he was surrounded by people, he immediately began to curse in Tatar.

"Okay, you are a Tartar, how dare you scold me!" The leading strong man should have dealt with Tartars often and knew some Tartar language, otherwise, he would not understand that the Tartars were scolding him.

The brawny man stretched out his calloused hands and grabbed at the tartar.

It was also because the tartar was alone, so the goatee was more courageous.

"Hmph, you smart people!" The tartar snorted coldly, then threw down the reins of the horse in his hand, and rushed towards the leading strong man.

Although this tartar is not as tall as a strong man, after all, he lives on the grassland all year round, and his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Oh!"

The strong man in the lead was directly knocked away by the tartars and fell to the ground, with blood continuously flowing out of his nose.

"Beat someone, beat someone, the Tartars are going to kill someone!"

The surrounding merchants began to yell as if they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

The tartar stood there with a panicked face, and said to the surroundings: "I didn't, he did it first, I didn't!"

After all, this is Ming's territory, and he is alone now.So I was a little panicked.

Unfortunately, no one listened to his explanation at all.

Soon, the soldiers guarding the place noticed the commotion here, and they ran over with long guns in hand.

"What's going on?" The leading soldier shouted.

"My lord, this Tartar has beaten someone."

"That's right, this Tartar is not a good guy. From his posture, he seems to want to kill someone."

The people around spoke in a hurry.

This is not to blame for these merchants. After all, the Ming Dynasty has been bullied by the Tartars for many years. Now they have found an opportunity to vent their anger. How could everyone let go of this great opportunity to add insult to injury?

The soldier looked at the Tartar standing there, and said in a low voice, "Is that so?"

The tartar said with a panicked face: "No, that's not the case."

"No? Then why are you panicking?"

As the soldiers said, they led their men and horses to surround the Tartars.

"what happened?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a melon cap and long gown and a strong Tartar man in a leather jacket walked over surrounded by a large group of people.

The soldier saw this man, and hurriedly walked up to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Fan, this tartar wants to kill someone."

The strong man next to him looked at the Tartar standing in the middle, and snorted coldly: "Chaganbari, what are you doing here? What's going on here?"

The middle-aged man was Fan Zheng. He stopped, turned his head, looked at the strong Tartar man, and said, "Zana Taiji, do you know him?"

Zana nodded and said: "He is a herdsman under me. He came to the market with me today to buy and sell horses. I don't know what happened, but there was a commotion in the market."

Seeing Zana approaching, Chaganbari hurried to him and began to speak in Tatar.

Fan Zheng's complexion changed. Although he was from the Ming Dynasty, he knew a lot of Tatar because he often did business with the grassland.He also understood a lot of the conversation between Chaganbari and Zana just now.

At this moment, the goatee trotted over, "Boss, this tartar doesn't know how to flatter me. He actually disliked the low price I offered, refused to sell his horse, and even injured our people."

Fan Zheng immediately understood what was going on when he heard Goatee's words.

This is obviously because my subordinates want to take advantage of others and plan to buy and sell by force.It's a pity that Chagan, who has never followed suit, wants to leave.And this goatee didn't expect the duck with its beak to fly away, so he planned to let his hands go down to stop him.

"Mr. Fan, I need you to give me an explanation!"

Zana turned his head and looked at Fan Zheng coldly.

Fan Zheng kicked Goatee's stomach directly, kicking him to the ground, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Anyone who doesn't have eyes, dare to bully? I think you are an iron king!" Scale, you are not greedy enough. Someone, hit me!"

As soon as Fan Zheng finished speaking, a few strong men in bunts came out behind him, and they beat the goatee violently.

The goatee kept wailing, "Boss shopkeeper, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was deceived by lard, I hope the shopkeeper will forgive me..."

Fan Zheng didn't look at the goatee at all, and said directly to Zana: "Zana Taiji, look..."

"You are not sincere, just now your subordinates have insulted the descendants of Changshengtian, this cannot be resolved with a single beating." Zana said Xingzi, spitting.

Fan Zheng looked at Zana bitterly, and said, "Then what should we do?"

Zana stretched out two fingers and said, "The food you sell us will be [-]% cheaper. Otherwise, this matter will never end."

"Twenty percent? That's impossible. This price is already our biggest concession. If it is [-] percent cheaper, then we will lose money." Fan Zheng exclaimed.

"Hehe, you know how much money your Fan family can make in this business. I don't want to say any more. If you don't agree, then I'll find someone else. I believe that there will be many people who are willing to do business with us business."

"At most [-]% more, or you will really lose money."

"One and a half!"

"One to two!"

"Okay, it's a deal." Zana smiled, patted Chaganbari on the shoulder, and said in tatar: "You did me a big favor today. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Chagan said in fear, "Don't dare, dare not!"

"If you tell me what you say, just say it, what's the point?"

"I don't dare to ask for any rewards, I just want to be by Taiji's side."

"Haha, you are someone who knows the current affairs. From now on, you will be my bodyguard." Zana laughed twice and said with satisfaction.

Fan Zheng listened to the conversation between the two, wishing he could strangle the goatee to death.It's a pity that the deal is done, even if the goatee is strangled to death, it will not help.

"Zanataiji, we will deliver the five thousand shi of grain to you after we pack it up, that is, in the last few days, and then you can send someone to receive it. Oh, yes, it's still the same way as before." Fan Zheng looked at Zana with a bitter face.I greeted the eight generations of ancestors with goatee directly in my heart.

Zana laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, shopkeeper Fan is busy first, so I'll leave first."

Following Ming's example, Zana cupped his hands, and then left the room with Chaganbari.

Fan Zheng turned his head, looked at the goatee, and scolded: "You bastard, I thought you were smart before, so I promoted you to be in charge. I didn't expect that I was wrong, you are a pig, a big stupid Pig. You almost messed up a business worth tens of thousands of taels. From now on, you should just be a boy obediently."

Fan Zheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhao Wen, who was standing in the crowd watching all this, suddenly said, "Treasurer Fan!"

Fan Zheng turned around and saw Zhao Wen at a glance, so he put on a smiling expression, cupped his hands and said, "So it's Brother Zhao."

Zhao Wen squeezed out from the crowd and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, I have a truckload of goods to sell. I don't know who to contact. Let me ask you."

"What?"

"A cart of skins and a little ginseng."

"Ginseng?" Fan Zheng's eyes lit up. It will soon be the birthday of Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family. Fan Zheng has been trying to get some Korean ginseng as a gift for him these days, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to do it recently and keeps buying it. less than.Now when I heard that Zhao Wen had it here, I instantly regained my spirits.

"May I ask where you are now?" Fan Zheng asked impatiently.

Zhao Wen smiled slightly and said, "Come with me."

Chapter 22 Buying and Selling Korean Ginseng

Zhao Wen led Fan Zheng to the parking place, and Zhao Wen unloaded a sack from the cart.

"Master Fan, here is Korean ginseng!" Zhao Wen opened the sack and took out a few bearded Korean ginseng from it.

Fan Zheng's eyes lit up, he took Korean ginseng from Zhao Wen, and put it under the sun to watch.

"Tsk tsk tsk, 50-year-old Korean ginseng is a good thing." Fan Zheng held a piece of Korean ginseng that was as thick as three fingers, and praised it.

"And not just this little bit. It's all in the whole sack."

Zhao Wen put the sack down, like pouring a white radish, poured out all the Korean ginseng inside.

Fan Zheng looked at the Korean ginseng on the ground with a distressed expression, and said regretfully, "This is Korean ginseng, not white radish, so be gentle."

Fan Zheng squatted down and rummaged through the Korean ginseng with his hands.

"My God, century-old Korean ginseng, this is a divine product!" Fan Zheng said excitedly, holding a Korean ginseng as thick as a child's arm, trembling all over.

Zhao Wen looked at Fan Zheng who was very excited and didn't take it seriously. Although these Korean ginseng were good, but to him, that was all there was to it.

Holding the Korean ginseng, Fan Zheng said excitedly, "Sell me all these Korean ginseng. You can see the price."

"You want all these Korean ginseng?"

These things can't be eaten as food, why buy so many?Even if it is sold, there will not be too many people buying it. After all, there are too few who can afford such an expensive thing.

Fan Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You think I'm joking with you?"

"Uh, I dare not dare. I'm just curious, so much Korean ginseng, you won't need much if you buy it back. Besides, you can't eat this thing all the time."

"Why do you care so much, you can just sell it to me. Just tell me the number." Fan Zheng tightly held the Korean ginseng in his hand.

"Then this number?" Zhao Wen tentatively stretched out five fingers.

"5000 taels of silver, not expensive, really not expensive!" Fan Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Damn, I meant 500 taels of silver, not 5000 taels of silver.However, since you think 5000 taels of silver is not expensive, then 5000 taels of silver, after all, you are the eldest brother, you have the final say.

Fan Zheng called to a follower next to him, and said in a low voice, "Go to the shop and get me some brocade boxes. You are bringing dozens of people. These Korean ginseng must be delivered to the shop safely. "

Fan Zheng couldn't be blamed for being so careful, after all, there was so much Korean ginseng that couldn't be measured in silver at all.This thing can save lives, how much is a life worth?How much are these Korean ginseng worth?For these Shanxi merchants, nothing is more valuable than their lives.

Now there is a lot of trouble building slaves in Liaodong, and the way back to the pass from there has basically been cut off.Nowadays, Korean ginseng from other countries is rarely brought in.Although the Fan family has started to do business with Jianu in recent years, there are still very few Korean ginseng available.After all, Jiannu is not a fool, and he understands the truth that rare goods can be lived in.

Because Korean ginseng is getting less and less, Korean ginseng is priceless in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Don't underestimate these Korean ginseng, it's of great value.

Now that the Fan family has got so many Korean ginseng, let alone selling it for money, if they put these Korean ginseng in brocade boxes and give them to those high-ranking officials in the court, it will be much better than money.

Fan Zheng just saw the value of this, so he bought all these Korean ginseng in one go.

Fan Zheng tore off a strip of cloth from his body, and carefully wrapped the century-old Korean ginseng in his hand.

Century-old Korean ginseng has always been hard to come by, and even a whisker on it is worth a lot of money.

Fan Zheng cautiously put Korean ginseng into his arms, then took out ten banknotes from his sleeve, and said, "Here are ten banknotes, each of which is 500 taels, and they are banknotes from my Yuanfuxiang bank. They only recognize bank notes but not people."

Fan Zheng didn't ask Zhao Wen where these Korean ginseng came from, after all, it was his source of income.This way of cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, Fan Zheng is still sure of this.

Zhao Wen took the bank notes with a smile on his face, smeared some on his fingers, and counted them from a box.

Zhao Daniu stared straight at the bank note in Zhao Wen's hand, and said bewilderedly, "I'm so tired, my darling, if all these 5000 taels of silver notes are exchanged for silver, how much would it cost?"

Zhao Wen put the banknote into his bosom, and continued: "What about these furs?"

Fan Zheng walked to the side of the cart, looked at the fur on the cart, frowned and said, "Did your fur get wet in the rain? Some of them are moldy. If they are not moldy, they are still worth some money. If they are moldy, they are worthless." It's worth it."

Zhao Wen said with embarrassment: "It's raining a little."

When it rained before, in order to protect these Korean ginseng, Zhao Wen wrapped the sack containing Korean ginseng with fur.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so moldy.

"Okay, let's do it. I see that my brother and I hit it off right away, and I can't let you take these goods back. How about this, I want all your furs. I'll give you 500 taels of silver, what do you think?" "Fan Zheng said.
