Chapter 444 Dredging the River Boat
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 : "can do 300 war horses and 600 riding horses."
Zhao Zhen said, "How much is the riding horse?"
Lu Zhuocheng stretched out his hand and gestured, "Fifteen sticks."
< br>
Zhao Zhen said: "I can eat this horse, but these days, I am staying at home with Qingwan and 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 and calculate Make 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 front shop are also sold in limited quantities, but the harvest is not enough this year?"
"Huh?"
< br>
"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."
Zhao Zhen listened He said: "This Geng cake is no less 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, this Don’t let me say anything.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "Does this shopkeeper Du have any rare goods that can be exchanged?"
"They are all yarn, silk, Gebu, wax, and dendrobium unique to Huainan. etc.”
When Zhao Zhen heard that, they were not items that 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."
Lu Zhuocheng listened and revealed With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "Brothers are still reliable. I will talk to Shopkeeper Du , Sun Erlang said, let him come to trade. Brother, I also want to meet these two people and listen to what these people say about Huainan scenery. It will be useful in the future."
"Yes, there is no competition at all. "It's best to keep some incense, but I'm afraid he has 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 suspicion."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's not urgent today. I still have something to ask you. Has anyone come to sell tea recently?"
After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng asked in surprise: "You want to buy tea?"
Zhao Zhen nodded, "I'm imagining There is also a way to purchase war horses in the world, and it is best to trade with tea. The tea does not need to be very good, coarse tea can be accepted, the more the better.”
This is also what Zhao Zhen thought of, buying horses from the fantasy world. There are various obstacles, but the price is the lowest.
According to Zhao Zhen's idea, it would be best if we could invite a Khitan tribe, whether it is to serve as soldiers or to herd 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 go to Yi Country and buy it in Laoshan Mountain."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "That's fine, you make the decision yourself. . If a date is set, I will ask my wife to prepare the money."
Lu Zhuocheng looked excited, saying that the person who helped him the most in his business was not his own father, but his current classmate. Friends. 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 some shipbuilding drawings?"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen glanced at Lu Zhuocheng, who was shaking his head silently, and knew that this was a new deal proposed by shopkeeper Du. 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 Yuan, I have a set of blueprints for river dredging boats here, which can help people master the making of river dredging boats and dredging rivers. I wonder if I need them?"
World Log
Dredging the River Boat drawing (the sages made a dredging rake to dredge the river. Use a wooden rake eight feet long and two feet long to tie the stones to the bottom of the river, and place them on two The boat anchored eighty steps away used a windlass to stir up the sand, and then moved the boat to dredge it section by section. Craftsman: (Familiar with the structure of dredging river boats and able to build dredging river boats.)
Professional skills: mortise and tenon joints, caulking, and applying tung oil.
After Zhao Zhen saw 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 He laughed and said : "Exceptor, although this blueprint only allows people to master the manufacturing method of [dredging boats], they are still employed as captains. 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 usefulness 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. We must Pay more attention to yourself.
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 class, 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 very much for your kindness. !" Shopkeeper Du said with a smile.
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 returned to Huainan and also If you want to buy specialties from various countries in Shandong, how about you go to my store to choose?”
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Du 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, 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 river congestion."
< br>Shopkeeper Du listened , nodded and said: "There are many rivers where I live, and the rivers are dredged every year. There are indeed many ways to manage them. If Yuanwai needs it, I will have someone make a copy of it. I will come next year and send it to Yuanwai."
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he 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. The quality of coarse tea and tea cakes can cost more than a thousand stones." I can eat it here too. It doesn’t matter if I have more.”
Shopkeeper Du was naturally happy after hearing this. He asked: "Master, of course I can buy and deliver this coarse tea. What's the price?"
Zhao Zhen said: "This coarse tea costs 70 Wen per catty. If it is good tea, the price will be higher. Ordinary tea, 220 coins. The best one, if you are advanced, 300 coins."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Du nodded and said, "Yuanwai. Don’t worry, I’ll 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, use Qingliang. The bamboo mats, goose feather fans, boxwood carvings, and peony bone carvings were replaced by the gauze, silk, Gebu, wax, and dendrobium brought by Shopkeeper Du, 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."
