Everyone had a good time enjoying how many treasures the noble families had received from the war, and then started counting their fingers to estimate how much they could get this time.
Naturally, you can't calculate by counting on your fingers, so when Manbao went to the medical tent and walked around for a while and came back, Governor Duan invited everyone to share the spoils.
The treasures they dug out were not placed outside, but piled in a large tent, and Governor Duan sent heavy troops to guard it.
The soldiers had sorted everything out, a pile of gold, a pile of silver, cloth aside, gems and gems piled together...
Naturally, it doesn't matter the quality, but everyone doesn't care. They don't plan to take out the valuations one by one, and just draw the quantity. Except for the jewelry Manbao, which they picked out some that they particularly like, the rest are roughly
Pull out 30%.
Then as previously agreed, they exchanged some items that were difficult to bring with them for some jewelry.
Then Bai Shan took the initiative to distribute things to the people here. Nie Canjun naturally took a lot. In addition to gold and silver, he chose a lot of silks, satins and brocades. He said: "Sell these fabrics directly when we get to the Western Regions."
Just go."
Even if these fabrics have some flaws and the colors are not as bright as they were at the beginning, the prices are still very high in the Western Regions.
When the time comes, I will exchange the gems and take them back to the capital, and I will make a lot of money every time I go there.
On the contrary, he didn't like gold and silver very much, because the gold and silver he distributed would not increase if he took it to the Western Regions and brought it back to the capital, unless he used the gold and silver to buy gems.
The soldiers under his command thought the same way.
Seeing that Governor Duan disliked these fabrics, they wanted to lower the price to buy the silk and satin with gold and silver, but Bai Shan stopped them before they even opened their mouth.
He said: "We will sell it to you."
Silks and satins are not very valuable here, especially these satins and brocades that are not well maintained and are processed in batches, so the price must not be high.
Nie Canjun was puzzled, "Won't Mr. Bai take him to the Western Regions?"
The goods will arrive when people arrive in the Western Regions, so there is no need to give them to them at this time, right?
Bai Shan smiled and said, "We need money now."
Nie Canjun stopped asking, and the two discussed the price.
Nie Canjun didn't know much about the price of silk and satin. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Young master, just give it to me."
Bai Shan:……
He didn't know whether the specific price was good or not.
But they didn't know it, but the horse thieves definitely knew it, so Bai Shan took Nie Canjun to find some horse thieves and asked, "How much do you want to sell those fabrics for?"
The horse thief who was asked was stunned for a moment, and then gave a rough number. Bai Shan asked again, "How much did the opponent open? You haven't agreed on it yet?"
It was true that we didn't reach an agreement, because the other party lowered the price very hard. If it wasn't their territory, they wouldn't be angry at it, so they pulled back the fabric at that time.
After Bai Shan knew the price, he told Nie Canjun: "I won't take advantage of you, just give it to me at the price offered by the merchant."
Nie Canjun didn't think much about it and agreed with a smile. Then he went to find his men to collect all the gold and silver they had received, and after counting them down, he bought all the cloths in Bai Shanzhouman's hands.
Bai Shan did not give the money to Man Bao and the others. Instead, he turned around to find Governor Duan and asked, "Is Mr. Duan leaving?"
Duan Jishi said: "We will leave tomorrow. What, Mr. Bai, won't you go with us?"
Bai Shan shook his head and said: "After returning to Liangzhou, we still have to turn around and come out. There is no need. We will go to the Western Regions beforehand."
Governor Duan did not expect them to be in such a hurry, and was a little disappointed, "I thought I could spend some time with Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "When we come back, we will stay in Liangzhou for two more days, and then we can meet again."
Bai Shan said with concern: "Mr. Duan, we are destined to be together, and with the relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince, we can also be considered one of our own."
Governor Duan nodded repeatedly and said yes with a smile.
Bai Shan said: "This year, the spices and gems from the Western Regions should be very profitable in the Central Plains, especially the spices, which are used in smaller quantities. This year, due to the smallpox in Xiazhou, the grasslands have also been affected. Although there are businessmen who are not afraid of death,
Coming from the east, there must be far fewer people.”
Governor Duan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there are fewer people coming from the east or west this year."
"Things are rare and valuable. It is good that gems will not be damaged, but spices are used every day. The spices in your hands are best sent to the south of Xiazhou before being sold, and they should be sold before autumn.
"
Governor Duan was confused, "Why?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Now that smallpox is gone, after a summer, those who wait and see will naturally leave."
Governor Duan nodded and thanked Bai Shan for his suggestion.
Bai Shan offered to use gold and silver to buy the cloth in his hand. He smiled and said: "There is a shortage of spices, but there is no shortage of silk and satin. It just so happens that we are going to the Western Regions this time, so we might as well sell it for you."
One of the two most troublesome things for Governor Duan was these silks and brocades.
They couldn't use it themselves, and the selling price was very low. Liangzhou's position was neither high nor low, so it was really difficult to find a suitable businessman to take over.
When he heard that Bai Shan was willing to buy it, he couldn't help but ask for it.
Bai Shan mentioned the price that these horse thieves got when they took the cloth and asked the merchants. He said: "The fabric was brightly colored at that time, so the merchants offered this price. Now the fabric is not well maintained, so I can only give you seven
What do you think of the price?"
Duan Jishi thought about it and found that it was a little less than he expected, but he didn't have to bother to find merchants. Moreover, he might not be able to negotiate the price if he went to merchants, so he agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Bai Shan immediately bought all the fabrics in his hand, and then began to worry: "Gold and silver are easy to carry, but they take up a lot of space. It is not convenient to carry them to the Western Regions."
Governor Duan felt refreshed and proposed to exchange the jewelry with him for gold and silver.
A piece of jewelry is very valuable. A box of gold and silver may only be exchanged for a box of jewelry. Wouldn't this save space?
Bai Shan smiled and said: "As for the gems in Master Duan's hands, only the cat's eye stone can be seen. We are not short of the others."
"It's also good to sell it."
Bai Shan shook his head and refused, "The Western Region is rich in gems. Only those who bring gems back from there, how can anyone bring gems from here?"
He said: "But if Mr. Duan is willing to give up the cat's eye stone, I can exchange it with you for gold, silver and other things. It can save a lot of space."
Governor Duan really wanted to sell the cat's eye stone, but...
"Isn't Mr. Bai's gold and silver not enough?"
"Aren't there still spices?" Bai Shan said: "Have you forgotten that we have a box of styrax on our hands?"
He smiled at Inspector Duan and asked, "Sir, have you ever thought that the cat's eye stone in your hand is valuable and that it is possible to sell it?"
