Chapter 163 Goodbye Sharma
Zhao Zhen entered Lu Zhuocheng’s shop, and the two met again. Lu Zhuocheng only heard Lu Zhuocheng say: “Zhao Erlang, I have found some good stuff in the past few days, but I have to go and see it. See?”
Zhao Zhen said: “Lu Sanlang, what did you find this time?”
Lu Zhuocheng said: “Zhao Erlang, do you still remember Zhai Yancheng?”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Of course I remember, why, shopkeeper Zhai is here?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "It is also the Zhai family. Zhai Yancheng's brother, called Zhai Yanhui, also brought a group of horses to sell. Do you want more, brother?"
Zhao Zhen thought of the two purchases from Zhai Yancheng. The horses, whether they are war horses bought first, or stallions or shire horses bought later, are all excellent.
This war horse is in short supply, and the entire Liangshan County has only just exceeded one hundred. The rest are just draft horses and riding horses. It would be best if we could buy more.
What's more, the Zhai family still has Shire horses. It would be better if they could buy more Shire horses. Zhao Zhen had seen this Sharma dragging trees in the mountains. For the purpose of shipbuilding, Meng Kang selected some large trees in the mountains as thick as an arm and cut them down. Only one Shire horse could drag them down the mountain. Nowadays, the big trees and stones in the mountains are transported out by Shire horses. One horse is worth twenty or thirty people.
It’s a pity that there are only five Shire horses, four males and one female. We don’t know how long it will take to breed them to a large scale. After hearing that the Zhai family came to sell horses again, Zhao Zhen became more energetic.
Zhao Zhen said: "Of course I am interested. Brother, let's go and have a look. If it is suitable, buy some."
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Brother, don't be anxious. There is another business, but it is from my father. I heard that the commission is higher."
Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, what is it?"
Lu Zhuocheng smiled proudly and said: "Twenty carts of fine iron weigh about three times. Sixteen thousand kilograms. The asking price is 1,700 guan, which needs to be settled with spiritual objects. The commission is 34 guan, so there are fewer suitable buyers. If you want it, please book this place first. It's really quite a lot."
Zhao Zhen said: "In that case, let's go see the iron first. My fantasy world is in use, and then go buy a horse."
After that, Lu Zhuocheng left the boy to look after the store, and he and Zhao Zhen left the store, each riding a horse, all the way to Beishi where Guan Ya was located.
The two rode horses slowly. On the way, Lu Zhuocheng asked: "Zhao Erlang, now that the autumn harvest has just passed, do you have any food to sell in your village?"
Zhao Zhen said: "This year is a good year. The land produces a lot, and after excluding daily expenses, there is indeed some surplus, but it is only half a year's worth. In addition, I have to make wine and vinegar in my fantasy world, so there is even less food to sell. "
Lu Zhuocheng said: "It doesn't matter, it's better to have some food in hand. After three years of farming, you can have enough food for one year. Of course, this doesn't apply to you. You are a landlord and you have a fantasy world. Support. The bad years can't affect you."
After chatting all the way, the two arrived at the official dental office. Lu Zhuocheng led Zhao Zhen to meet Lu Zhuocheng's father, Lu Shanyuan. Zhao Zhen calls him uncle and holds the courtesy of son and nephew.
Lu Zhuocheng told his purpose, and Lu Shanyuan said: "I don't want Sanlang to have powerful friends like Zhao Erlang. Zhao Erlang, can Sanlang understand the situation of this batch of fine iron? The seller needs to replace it with spiritual objects. Otherwise, this batch of fine iron will be replaced by spiritual objects." The deal has been made long ago."
Zhao Zhen said: "Uncle Lu, Sanlang has told me that I have a few four-bearded carps that can increase my physical fitness. How about this? "
Lu Shanyuan nodded and said, "It's not a big problem. I'll negotiate the price again. I'll let him pay the commission for the eight-tailed four-tailed carp. How about it?"
Zhao Zhen said thank you. Lu Shanyuan asked Zhao Zhen and Zhao Zhen to wait a moment before going out. After a while, he brought a strong man and introduced them. This man is from Tai'an, Lu State. He has mined mines for generations, smelted them, and sold them abroad. He also has considerable wealth. There is a lot of iron in Tai'an, but the price of the iron is only 30 Wen, and no one exchanges it for spiritual objects. This year, several nephews and nephews in the family need spiritual objects to lay the foundation, so they sell iron here in exchange for spiritual objects.
Ai Liangshi met Zhao Zhen and said, "Brother, do you really have eight-tailed spiritual fish that can enhance your physical fitness?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, Mr. Youya is here to testify, why should you be worried?"
Lu Shanyuan immediately spoke and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Ai, Zhao Erlang's family assets Wan Guan, there’s a big deal at home.”
Ai Liangshi smiled awkwardly and said, “There’s been a lot of talk these days, but not enough spiritual things, so I’m a little worried.” As Lu Shanyuan said, Zhao Zhen just said. Eight tailed four-tailed carps were exchanged for these twenty carts of fine iron. The two made a contract, and Zhao Zhen wrote another letter to Chao Gai, used the seal, and gave the letter to Lu Shanyuan to read. The letter mentioned the transaction and asked Ai Liangshi to go to Bailiu Village to deliver the iron. When arriving at Bailiu Village, the four-tailed carp was also taken from Bailiu Village.
Seeing that the writing was clear, Lu Shanyuan immediately accompanied Ai Liangshi to complete the transaction. After all, Lu Shanyuan could only get the commission after the transaction was completed.
Before leaving, Lu Shanyuan said to Zhao Zhen: "Xian Zhen, if you have other needs and Sanlang can't find the source of goods, you can come here with Sanlang to find me. Especially bulk goods, most of them are registered and traded in Guanya."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly thanked Lu Shanyuan and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. If you need it, I will trouble Uncle Lu again."
After being polite, everyone showed their official teeth. Place. Zhao Zhen was also very happy after completing this transaction. Zhao Zhen and Zhao Zhen also left the official dental office and went to the animal husbandry area.
After meeting Zhai Yanhui, Lu Zhuocheng stepped forward to make an introduction. Hearing that Zhao Zhen had done business with his brother Zhai Yanhui, Zhai Yanhui's smile became even stronger.
Zhai Yanhui asked: "Brother, how many horses are needed this time?"
Zhao Zhen asked: "I wonder how many shopkeeper Zhai has in hand?"
Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, I have more than a hundred war horses here, and more than 400 draft horses and riding horses, most of which are kept in the warehouse. Outside the city. If my brother only wants war horses, I can only sell you half of them. After all, I have to rely on these war horses to attract business." Zhao Zhen said: "Do I need some charcoal horses?"
Zhai Yanhui thought to himself: "It seems that my brother sold the Sharma horse to this person. He must be someone worth making friends with." He immediately said: "Brother, this Sharma horse is not for sale. Brother is my regular customer. , and I want a lot of horses, so if my brother wants ten war horses and twenty riding horses, I will decide to sell him a Shire horse. How about it?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Shopkeeper Zhai, how about this? The Sharma horse is just stronger, and it is useless to have more riding horses. Today, Shopkeeper Zhai said, I can’t say anything else, but Shopkeeper Zhai needs to give in on the price.”
Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, please be happy. We are not errand boys. How about a 15% discount on the horse you bought from me last time?"
Zhao Zhe nodded, and the three of them went to the city together. I looked at the fenced-in horse farm outside and saw that the horses were the same as the ones I bought last time. They were all tall horses from the Western Regions and had been well trained. Zhao Zhen selected 30 mares, 30 castrated stallions, and 120 riding horses. As for the Shire horses, Zhai Yanhui only had seven here, three males, three females, and one pony.
Seeing Sharma again, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but step forward and touch him. This docile big guy was very lovable. Zhao Zhen said to Zhai Yanhui: "Shopkeeper Zhai, these Shire horses are exactly six adult horses. How about this pony as a partner? I wonder if there are stallions here, shopkeeper Zhai?"
Zhai Yanhui ordered. He nodded and said: "Brother, this pony is given to you. As for the stallion, brothers, you also know that the stallion has a bad temper and travels long distances, which is very inconvenient. This time it does not happen."
Zhao Zhen continued. Asked: "Does Shopkeeper Zhai have any other recommendations?"
Zhai Yanhui said: "Brother, what I brought this time are horses. My family also raises brown cattle. These cattle produce a lot of milk and meat. The bulls can grow to 2,000 kilograms, and the cows can weigh 800 kilograms, but they can't plow the land. If my brother wants it, I will rush over to get a batch next time."
Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "This farm cow is reluctant to kill, and I can't eat beef many times throughout the year. All brothers are good at beef. Although I don’t mention it, I can’t pretend that I don’t know.” He asked, “How much does a cow cost?” "
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Zhai, I want a batch of cattle, 300 calves, 100 cows, and 20 breeding bulls."
Zhai Yanhui. He was overjoyed and said: "Brother, this cow will definitely be delivered before the end of the year. What do you think, brother?"
Zhao Zhen nodded in approval. The two of them calculated their accounts and found that the MCP needed 7,410 strings. Zhai Yanhui took the initiative to wipe out the fraction and asked for 7,400 strings.
Zhao Zhen said to Lu Zhuocheng and Zhai Yanhui: "Lu Sanlang, I have to ask my brother to lead the way, and take the manager Zhai to drive these horses to Bailiu Village. Then go to the house in Nanshi to get the money."
The two agreed, made preparations, and drove their horses to Bailiu Village. Zhao Zhen did not accompany them, but returned to his house in Nanshi.
