Chapter 166
Chapter 166
"Welcome back from the north."
In the Liu family compound, Liu Yu stood up to greet the two merchants.
"Hello, County Magistrate!"
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Although the young man in front of them was still the same as before, greeting them in a very approachable manner.
They did not feel any sense of distance at all.
But they both knew deeply.
The young man in front of them was no longer the former owner of Tiezhuang, but the county magistrate of Tanghai.
In just the time they went out of the customs, this man had already reached such a high level.
It was like having two wings behind him.
The speed of his promotion was too fast, so the two of them could only look up and could not reach him.
Although the other party had all kinds of magic, they had never thought that Liu Yu could reach his current status so quickly.
It made them feel that everything was like a dream, unrealistic.
"You're welcome." Liu Yu smiled as if he was still respectful to the wise.
He led the two to the stone table in the courtyard.
"Sit down and talk."
Although Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were big merchants in Zhongshan, they were also a little stage-frightened.
Facing an official, even if it was only the level of a county magistrate, it was a very remarkable thing to be able to sit with him.
You have to know that in this day and age, although businessmen are rich.
But they can only show off in front of ordinary people.
In front of officials, they are nothing.
They are not on the same level at all.
"Mr. County Magistrate." Although Zhang Shiping sat down, he always maintained a restrained posture.
He did not dare to relax at all.
He only touched the stone bench a little, ready to stand up at any time.
"The two of us returned from the north and came to report the business situation to the county magistrate."
Liu Yu gestured to the other party to continue speaking.
Zhang Shiping said quickly: "Our sales in the north went very smoothly this time."
"According to the various methods taught by the county magistrate, those nomadic bastards can't resist at all."
"Especially the dried seafood that the county magistrate gave us before."
"Among them, dried kelp is the most popular among the nomadic bastards."
"We even used dried kelp to provoke a small war in the north."
He became more and more excited as he spoke.
The two of them had worked hard in the north for so many years, but this was the first time they had experienced such a scene.
"We gave some dried kelp to a small tribe, and then spread the news."
"We said that the other party exchanged beef tendons with us."
"The small tribe was immediately besieged by other tribes."
"We all thought that the other party was punished by those grassland tribes."
"Who knew that we sent people to investigate afterwards, and it turned out that those tribes were eager for dried kelp."
"We deliberately found an excuse to annex the other tribe."
"And after that, some tribes actually came to contact us secretly."
"We hope to use a small amount of beef tendons to exchange for some dried kelp."
"It can be seen that this thing is very important to them."
Liu Yu listened to the other party's excited narration, and everything was roughly within his expectations.
They may not be able to imagine how much those people on the grassland who eat meat and drink milk every day want the taste of saltiness.
Not to mention, kelp also has the effect of relieving greasiness.
Although everyone on the grassland knows that beef tendons are a necessity for making bows and crossbows.
But some people are very selfish.
As long as he lives a good life, he doesn't care about the flood.
Moreover, human nature has always had cognitive biases.
They think that just selling a few sticks can't cause any big waves.
However, what they don't know is.
Everything has a precedent.
As long as a hole is opened.
It's like opening a magic box.
It can't be stopped anymore.
The tiny crack that was formed inadvertently was the fuse for the final collapse.
"You did a good job." Liu Yu praised.
"I'll give you some operating methods later."
"Continue to expand the fruits of victory."
"Are there any other methods?" Zhang Shiping told the two of them a little surprised.
The previous methods have already caused the foreigners on the grassland to fight for them.
If there are more methods...
Neither of them dared to think about it.
What a mess the grassland will be in the future.
"How is the sales of weapons?" Liu Yu changed the subject and asked.
"Good, very good!" Speaking of this topic, Zhang Shiping was very excited.
He continued to introduce while rubbing his hands.
"The county magistrate's method is still the most effective."
"The weapons sold and the spread of the news have confused the minds of those bastards who are herding."
"Especially the one who gaveThe two tribes, who have always been enemies, sold weapons at the same time and then spread the news to each other. It was simply amazing. "
"The two tribes heard the news and rushed to buy weapons overnight at a higher price."
"Even the cattle and ewes that they valued in the past were willing to exchange for weapons at a low price."
"Maybe after testing the weapons, if the quantity purchased was less than that of the other party, the tribe would be destroyed."
"The two tribes were desperate to buy."
"We have been trading for so long, but this is the first time we have been so satisfied."
At this point, both of them flushed and were very excited.
"What was the final outcome of the two tribes?" Liu Yu asked, looking forward to it.
"After the two tribes got the weapons, they fought to the death the next day, and one of the tribes barely won." Zhang Shiping continued to tell the story.
"But, they didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind. ”
“It was wiped out by another slightly smaller tribe.”
“The tribe that won a tragic victory was annexed on the spot.”
“After obtaining the spoils of war from the two tribes, the small tribe’s strength increased greatly.”
“It has become a medium-sized tribe.”
Liu Yu listened carefully, pondered in his mind, and then asked: “How much did you get in the end?”
“We told the county magistrate the truth.” Zhang Shiping’s face became serious.
“Using three thousand weapons and those seafood, we exchanged a total of one hundred adult bulls.”
“Five thousand sheep, including five hundred ewes.”
“In addition, there were beef tendons that the county magistrate specifically asked for. We exchanged two hundred of them.”
“These are all our gains this time. "
Liu Yu nodded slightly and calculated in his mind.
According to his previous ratio, one cow can be exchanged for twenty weapons, and one sheep can be exchanged for two weapons.
The two men only need one hundred cows and five hundred sheep to settle the previous weapons.
The two merchants are left with a net of 4,500 sheep.
Each sheep is 300 Hanjin, and the raw sheep is 5 cents per catty. The net profit of this trip is nearly 7 million yuan.
No wonder people in all dynasties like to do smuggling.
The profit in this business is simply explosive.
These are only 3,000 weapons, a small-scale operation.
If the number of weapons is increased to 30,000...
The profit will definitely make Menggui apply to grind the mill.
