After hearing Qin Ran's words, Shang Xiuxun had a faint blush on his pretty face.
She grew up on the ranch and had never been out of the ranch. People in the ranch had watched her grow up and had long been accustomed to her beauty. And because of her high status, she was destined to take over as the owner of the ranch. No one else
Dare to talk nonsense in front of her.
Therefore, since she was a child, except for her mother, no outsider has ever praised her beauty in person like this.
Especially this outsider, who is still at the level of a Grand Master, would make the whole world tremble with harsh words, and his words of praise were so straightforward and undisguised. What’s even more rare is that he didn’t show any disloyalty.
Every sentence comes from the heart, and there is no sense of rhetoric. This immediately made Shang Xiuxun's heart feel a touch of shyness and joy.
At the same time, his impression of Qin Ran suddenly became very good.
One after another delicious food was served, and soon it was spread all over the table.
Before moving his chopsticks, Shang Xiuxun introduced Qin Ran to the senior management of the ranch, "Master Qin, this is Shang Zhen, the chief steward of the inner fort."
The chief butler was around fifty years old. He was a burly, bald man with a big pipe in his hand. He was sitting on the seat next to Shang Xiuxun, puffing away smoke. When he saw Qin Ran and the two men looking at him, they hurriedly
He took the pipe aside and smiled politely.
In the Pegasus Ranch, apart from Shang Xiuxun, there are only three people whose martial arts have reached the innate realm, namely Grand Deacon Shang Zhen, Elder Shang Peng, and Second Deacon Liu Zongdao.
Although the remaining deacons' martial arts are good, they are only between first-rate and second-rate.
Shang Xiuxun pointed to the people on the left and right and continued to introduce: "These are the deacons of the ranch, Liang Zhi, Liu Zongdao, Tao Shusheng, Wu Zhaoru."
The four deacons didn't dare to show off to Qin Ran, so they nodded their heads one by one.
After she finished speaking, Qin Ran nodded, pointed at Shuanglong and said: "Qin Ran, these are my two disciples, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling. I came here this time to purchase a batch of war horses."
Talking about business, Shang Xiuxun said seriously: "I wonder how many war horses you want to buy?"
"Of course, the more, the better! Whether it's fifty or sixty thousand, two or three hundred thousand, I want as many as Pegasus Ranch has." Qin Ran's tone was calm, but it contained great information.
Several deacons looked at each other and saw each other's shocked faces. In this turbulent and troubled world, the status of a war horse is undoubtedly more important than that of tanks and armored vehicles in later generations. A large number of war horses are needed. There is no doubt that they are willing to participate in the struggle for world hegemony.
But considering Qin Ran's strength, they are not surprised. There are several great masters in the world. They are either the guardian god of a famous place or the leader of a separate force.
If they also have the strength of a great master, they will definitely covet the world.
When personal interests were involved, the great deacon Shang Zhen stepped forward to be the villain, "Master Qin, Pegasus Ranch has always been taught by our ancestors and never does business at a loss. A war horse can easily cost seven or eight thousand yuan. I wonder if Master Qin has enough wealth?"
"
At this time, the mainstream currency was copper coins. One copper coin could buy a big cake, which was enough for ordinary people to eat a meal. The monthly salary of a ninth-rank official during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was only 1,300 yuan.
And a war horse costs seven to eight thousand yuan, which is the salary of a ninth-grade official for six to seven months. This price is astronomical.
But for Kieran, money is the most accessible thing to him.
Sitting on the wealth of both worlds, whether it is copper coins, silver, or gold treasures, he has countless treasures.
In the blessed land of Langhuan, silver, gold, jewels and jade are piled up like a hill. There are thirty to forty million taels of silver and five to six hundred thousand taels of gold.
"Price is not an issue. How many war horses are there at Pegasus Ranch?" Kieran said calmly.
Shang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Excluding the reserved mares and stallions, there are a hundred thousand adult war horses available for sale."
"One hundred thousand horses, that's 80,000 yuan!" Faced with such an astronomical figure, Qin Ran wrote lightly: "It's not much, I'll pay in gold, how about it?"
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there had not yet been a large inflow of silver, and it was far more valuable than during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that it began to depreciate. Now, one tael of silver is equal to approximately one thousand yuan, and one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.
Eighty thousand taels of money is only 800,000 taels of silver and 80,000 taels of gold. To Qin Ran, it is just a drop in the bucket.
(My math should be fine, right? I feel a little dizzy at night.)
Everyone present looked at each other with doubts in their hearts, but considering Grandmaster Qin Ran's strength, they did not dare to speak out.
Seeing their doubts, Qin Ran smiled lightly and said, "Don't you believe it?"
Shang Peng and others shook their heads repeatedly, saying "I dare not."
Qin Ran shook his head slightly and said, "I'll come as soon as I go!" Then he disappeared into the hall with a movement of his body.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one tael was equal to about 43 grams. After conversion, 80,000 taels of gold was 3.5 tons, which was actually only 0.15 cubic meters, less than the size of a child.
When Qin Ran came to a deserted place, his mind moved. The golden mountain in Langhuan Paradise suddenly lost a peak, and a large gold brick appeared in his hand.
Smiling with satisfaction, Qin Ran's figure flashed again, and within a moment, he was back in the banquet hall.
In front of the senior management of Pegasus Ranch, he threw the gold bricks on the ground.
boom!
When the gold brick weighing more than three tons fell, the entire banquet hall trembled.
"Eighty thousand taels of gold is right here. Everyone, who is going to check it?" Qin Ran sat back down, raised his chin, and said proudly.
"This..." Shang Peng hurriedly stepped forward and first tried to pick it up with his hands. The gold brick moved slightly, which made him take a breath. You must know that he is an innate master, but he couldn't pick up this gold brick.
It's small but it's so heavy. I thought only gold could have this weight, so I believed it in my heart.
Subsequently, it was verified by multiple methods such as cutting with knives, roasting with fire, and washing with water. Everyone had to believe that this was indeed gold.
"This is gold!"
"Oh my God, Mr. Qin took out so much gold after only being out for a while. Could it be that he carried such a heavy amount of gold with him? The Grand Master's methods are indeed unpredictable and beyond our ability to figure out."
"It's incredible. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a large piece of gold."
Even Wei Zhenzhen, Fu Junzhuo and Shuanglong had strange brilliance shining in their pupils. The ancients used the term "millions of dollars" to describe the rich, but what was lying on the ground was gold worth 80,000 yuan or 800,000 yuan.
Qin Ran took out such a terrifying wealth, which made Fu Junzhuo, who had been together for several months and thought he knew Qin Ran, couldn't help but look at the man in front of him again.
It is impossible for the Haisha Gang and the Jukun Gang alone to amass such a large amount of wealth, which means that this money is most likely Qin Ran's own. This money is enough to cover Goguryeo's taxes last year.
In his twenties, he was a great master at the top of the martial arts world and could rival the country's wealth. In Fu Junzhuo's eyes, Qin Ran's originally clear body was once again covered in a layer of fog.
After stabilizing his mind, Shang Xiuxun, who was also shocked, slowly said: "Since the young master can afford this price, our Pegasus Ranch will naturally do this business. However, it will take some time for us to deliver 100,000 horses. During this period, we can still
Sir, please stay at my Pegasus Ranch temporarily."
"Yes!" Qin Ran responded with a smile.
After that, the atmosphere in the banquet quickly became lively again.
