Chapter 1098 Huairou is far away, why not come

With forty-six silver coins in his pocket, Bad immediately became the focus of the market. A large group of Han merchants took the initiative to surround him. The stance made Bad think he was going to grab his newly bought treasure sword.

The Chinese merchants' eyes shone brightly.

Forty-six silver coins, that is ninety-two stakes of money.

This is just a small market, and all the guys sent from various stores, and even some single-gang travelers. They are young and earn some hard money. A Shanyi with 92 stagnant of money is a fat sheep in their eyes. Especially this fat sheep just bought a used horizontal knife price of ten times the price of a horizontal knife in Liuqiu City. This sheep is really stupid and has a lot of money.

"This official, I have better iron tools here. There are kitchen knives, scissors, guillotines, hatchets and short knives, all kinds of them are made of good steel, and the price is cheap." A businessman even shouted out the official.

The colleagues next to them secretly scolded this person for being shameless, but they also promoted him more enthusiastically.

Someone saw that Bud was barefoot and tried hard to sell his shoes.

"I said, don't do that. You are new here. Haven't you seen the Shanyi here behaves barefoot and doesn't wear shoes? It's better to sell combs to monks than to sell shoes to them." A businessman smiled.

Another person squeezed over, "This official, buy a horse. Our horse is a top-notch iron-sling horse. It is known as an iron-hoofed horse. It can travel 500 miles a day and has the best endurance."

When Bud saw that the horse brought by the Han merchant was indeed tall.

"How much?" He gestured to count money.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. This is a top-notch horse, not an ordinary horse, only fifty taels of horses." The merchant quickly offered the price.

When the merchants next to him heard this, they all smiled on their faces. The price was already very high. Even if it was not an ordinary horse-drawn horse, the horse could not be as high as the level of war horses. Now the Tang Dynasty conquered the Turks, Khitans, Tuyuhun and others, and the Tang Dynasty did not lack horses at all. Hetao and Longyou were the land for horse farming, and the cheap imports from grasslands and other places have caused the price of cattle and horses in the Central Plains to continue to decline.

Nowadays, a strong horse can be bought with 15 stakes of horses, and even 10 stakes of horses in the border area. Even if it is a horse that can be regarded as a standard horse, as long as it is a horse that has not been trained, it will only be about 20 stakes. Considering that it is more laborious to transport it to the island, the horse can be at most about 25 stakes.

This Ma Shang spoke 50 trump cards, which was twice the price increase.

After hearing the offer from the translation, Bud was a little moved. To him, that piece of gold was not something worthless, and it was also his important property, but gold was gold, which was dead. If it could be replaced with a sharp sword and a horse, he thought it would be very cost-effective.

"Too expensive." Bud was not in a hurry to pay.

Although he didn't know much about horse prices, he knew that the horse merchant had obviously opened higher by quietly watching the expressions of the people next to him.

"Forty-eight stakes."

Bud still shook his head.

Horse merchants wanted to make this money, but kept reducing prices, but Bard kept shook his head.

"Thirty thousand coins."

A voice sounded next to it, but Li Chao, Fan Lubing and others came over.

Li Chao smiled and said to the horse merchant, "The normal price of your horse should be twenty-five stakes, and you have already made a lot of profits. Now I will give you a price for you, thirty stakes, how about it?"

"This is the King of Yue, this is the new magistrate of Liuqiu County, and this is the Marquis of Vietnam."

Keshan said to Ma Shang.

Ma Shang did not know Li Chao, nor did Zhang Zhongjian and others, but no one knew Keshan. In the past, Keshan was the highest-ranking person on the island of Liuqiu. He led nine hundred knights to guard Liuqiu Fort. Everyone said that Keshan was the uncle of King Yue.

"I pay homage to the King of Yue, to the Marquis of Vietnam, to the Envoy Fan."

"How much does this horse cost 30 cents?"

"Everything is all based on King Yue."

The general translation told Bad that this horse was thirty cents.

When Bud heard that he had dropped so much money all at once, he knew it was because of the people who had just arrived. He just saw these people riding on horseback and bringing the team to him, and he also knew that these people must have a bad identity.

"This is His Highness, King Yue of the Tang Dynasty and the master of Liuqiu City." General translation introduction.

Bud wrote down the name and nodded.

Thirty stakes of coins, fifteen silver coins. Bad now remembered the exchange rate of the coins, counted fifteen silver coins seriously, and then counted them again before handing them to Ma Shang.

Ma Shang smiled and handed the horse over to Bud. Then a tax collector next to him smiled at him. He had to go over and fill out the tax form and pay the tax. He paid three thousand yuan in taxes with some pain, and he directly paid the Sanguanbaobao.

Li Chao chatted with Bard and asked how far they lived in the village and what his name was.

He took a short sword from himself and handed it over, "For the first time we met, this is a little gift, I hope to accept it."

Li Chao's short sword is inlaid with gold and jade, and you can tell at a glance that it is not bad, especially this is a sword made of Uz steel ingots. Although it is short, it is extremely sharp and valuable.

Bard hesitated for a while, but took it.

"We will be neighbors in the future. Welcome to trade. If you have any needs, you can also come to us."

Li Chao did not keep him much, so it was necessary to show kindness to Shanyi. From the perspective of management, this gentle method is more effective. Li Chao leaned against the Central Plains and was able to continuously mobilize Han people to immigrate. In the future, his power will become stronger and stronger, and there is no need to worry too much about Shanyi.

By forcibly conquering by force and integrating slowly, Li Chao felt that the latter was better.

"Lu Bing, I walked around, what do you think?"

"The Shanyi is very simple and knows that fair trade is not entirely uncivilized barbarians."

"Yes, they are not all eating raw meat and drinking blood. We trade fairly with them and slowly contact them, and there will be a better situation in the future. But today we have also seen that many merchants still haven't treated them fairly, and the transaction is also a fraud. That piece of gold can be worth at least one hundred chunks, but the merchant only gave ten gold, and that person is still my friend of Li Ji Money House."

"There is the same for Ma Shang. He obviously has a market price of 25 jin, but he wants to buy fifty jin."

"These people are just doing things randomly, which will destroy our integrity. Lu Bing, after you take office, all the civil affairs taxes here will be handed over to you. I hope you can take the rectification of the market as the first thing to do, establish a good relationship with Shanyi, and establish a stable place here. I don't want this place to eventually become an opposition between the two tribes and constant bloody conflicts, which will be of no benefit to anyone."

"Remember, we are civilized people, so we don't need to be savage."
