Chapter 9 Costin and Ginseng

The corpse on the ground quickly became cold, and its eyes that were frozen into gray-white by the cold air seemed to remind Yun Er that human life was of no value here.

Only in a normal society will human life be valued by everyone. If this scene happened on Tokyo's Mahang Street, passers-by would scream "Killed!" and the Kaifeng Prefecture's police officers would run over like frightened donkeys.

, the government's sentencing officer will personally come to investigate the case, and the murderer's silhouette will be posted at the city gate as quickly as possible by the government.

Here, people just watched for a while, and the shopkeeper yelled at the waiter to go to work. The other pirates looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently, being far more interested in the property on him than in his life.

Guanqian Killer is like a wild dog, watching the people watching with eager eyes. In his eyes, those people are wild dogs who are ready to rob him of food.

While the mutton soup boss was loading the mutton for him, he quickly took off the leather jacket that the corpse was wearing and wrapped it around himself, took off his shoes and put them on himself, and put the man's money bag into it.

In his arms, even so, he still stepped on the chest of the corpse with a pair of big feet that had just put on shoes...

The mutton soup boss didn't give him any preferential treatment just because he had just bitten a man to death. There was no more mutton in the bowl than others. The killer grunted, and the boss threw him a piece of black flour pancake and left as if nothing had happened.

Greet other guests.

For those who have force and money, such as Yun Er, Heishan Island is a paradise. Whether he uses force or money, he can achieve his goals. For those who have no money and no force, here is

Absolutely the deepest part of hell.

The killer took the money and finished the job. Naturally, he owed nothing to Yun Er and the others, so the killer started eating mutton, and Yun Er and his men continued to show off their power in the market.

The Yun family has never thought that things like Haidongqing are too much. Of course, for the Song Dynasty court, this thing has changed from a luxury item to a necessity. Ever since Yun Da began to use Haidongqing on a large scale as a messenger in the army,

The Song Dynasty court also began to enter this field.

Whenever the confidential and urgent matters between the DPRK and the Central Government are encrypted into numbers, the long-distance messenger becomes Hai Dongqing. Especially for the communication between Shuzhong and the capital, Hai Dongqing is given the first priority.

In the past, people also used carrier pigeons to act as messengers, but the carrier pigeons were not powerful enough. Although its positioning and transmission was more accurate than Haidongqing, the carrier pigeons had too many natural enemies. At this time in the Song Dynasty, there were so many eagles in the sky that they could hardly be counted.

Pigeons are easy prey for birds of prey.

The Haidongqing is different. It flies extremely fast and is the overlord of the sky. Therefore, using Haidongqing to deliver secret messages is much safer than using pigeons.

Therefore, as long as Yun Er sees Haidongqing, he will buy it. He does not ask about the price and fully displays his playboy nature.

Some seaweed merchants accused Yun Er that this was not a way to do business. Doing so would quickly increase the price of seaweed, which would be detrimental to the entire Song Dynasty. However, Yun Er smiled and popped out pearls one by one.

In exchange for Hai Dongqing, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

Yun Er has never had any idea about prices. When he was very young, his eldest brother would sew some silver or gold on his clothes. When he was old enough to spend money, his sister-in-law had already come in. At that time, the Yun family was basically

There is no shortage of money anymore.

Lu Qingqing dotes on Yun Er very much. Although he always scolds Yun Er, he never puts any restrictions on Yun Er in external matters such as money, food and drink.

Yun Er knew that there were a lot of pearls at home, most of which were almost packed in wooden boxes. If there were enough sea greens here, Yun Er would not care about exchanging that box of pearls for hundreds of sea greens.

For him, as long as he can get Triton, he is taking advantage.

Through this move, the pirates and merchants on Heishan Island made even more amazing guesses about Yun Er's identity. From a rich family to a princely family, although this guess was already very close to the truth, when they saw Yun Er's hand

After buying all the Haidongqing and starting to buy ginseng, Yun Er's identity has now become the legitimate son of a wealthy family.

In fact, there were not many ginsengs that Kaitongqing and Yun Er were interested in. There were seven or eight Kaitongqings in a cage, flapping their short wings randomly, causing flying eagle feathers everywhere. Yun Er

The big man at home quickly got a carriage and took these things back to his shop.

Few Jurchens who picked ginseng came to Montenegro Island. Even when Sulla Hague was in desperate need of external assistance, he still looked down on the Jurchens arrogantly.

Therefore, most of the people who came to Heishan Island to sell ginseng were Khitans and Koreans. It was difficult for merchants from the Song Dynasty to go deep into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom to purchase ginseng. It was not like this in the past. It was just that the Liao Emperor was almost killed in the Duck River.

After killing them, as long as the merchants of the Song Dynasty enter the mainland of the Liao Kingdom, they will easily disappear among the white mountains and black waters.

Without old life, no matter how much money you make, you will not be able to enjoy the blessings. Therefore, people in the Song Dynasty gave up the first chain of ginseng trading, which caused the price of ginseng in the Song Dynasty to skyrocket.

"Don't you have a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

All the merchants selling ginseng looked at Yun Er as if they were idiots. It was really a shame and humiliation for such a person who had no knowledge of ginseng to come among a group of people like him who were discussing prices in their sleeves.

The big guys from the Yun family hurriedly came up to help Yun Er: "Second Young Master, thousand-year ginseng does not mean that ginseng grows for a thousand years. Generally, wild ginseng only lasts for nearly a hundred years. Many people get good ginseng and only a few people keep it."

Eat, thousand-year-old ginseng is a compliment, just like how we often say someone is eight feet tall!"

A Khitan man wearing a dog-skin hat turned to look at the big man of the Yun family and said, "What are you talking about? Who told you that there is no thousand-year-old ginseng? I have seen ginseng take shape. It was growing well on the ground, but it turned out that

It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and all I saw was the back of a fat baby with a naked butt..."

After listening to the fantasy story of the Khitan people, Yun Er decided to listen to his assistant. He patted the big assistant on the shoulder and said: "How can a thousand-year-old ginseng still not grow into a radish? Find me some one- or two-hundred-year-old ginseng."

Ginseng, my wife needs it very much for her postpartum care.”

A Korean businessman wearing a tall hat said in a sinister voice: "There are plenty of good ginseng. As long as you take out the gold and silver, you can buy it. As far as I know, there is a 400-year-old ginseng in the palace of Suzhou City."

, it’s priceless. If you can afford the price, I heard that the city lord also intends to sell it. I’m afraid you, a southern barbarian, can’t afford it.”

Yun Er was overjoyed. He finally heard some reliable news. After thanking the Korean, he said to Mr. Yan: "Beat him. He just called me a Nanman!"

Boss Yan and others naturally rushed over. The Korean seemed to be a very well-connected person. There were also some Koreans wearing bamboo hats in winter around him. Seeing that Yun Er was planning to take action, they naturally rushed over to protect their master.

Boss Yan and the others immediately fell in love with this place after they saw that killer who always had money kill people. Here they can kill freely without having to worry about the government. This is really a good place for a lone thief like him to live.

First, he punched a Goryeo warrior hard on the chin. Seeing that the warrior was sent flying, he whipped the leg of the whip hard on the waist and abdomen of the Goryeo warrior who had been sent flying.

The whole person leaned forward, and the green bamboo pipe caught in the gap between his fingers penetrated into the bodies of the two Goryeo warriors beside him.

The Koreans never expected that Boss Yan would be so ruthless. Seeing the blood in his body rushing out from several tubes, he roared and drew out his knife and prepared to attack Boss Yan, but was blocked by Jing Muyan and five others.

, it didn’t take long for a good ginseng store to become as lively as a gladiatorial arena.

Yun Er knew that Boss Yan and others were trying to show him the value of their existence. Since the old cobbler joined the team, Boss Yan and the others were actually worried that their position as chief warrior would be taken away, and they would not show mercy at this time.

Yun Er turned around and saw that the tall hat of the Korean merchant had been kicked off, so he asked the other merchants in a gentle voice for advice on how to buy ginseng.

The other ginseng merchants didn't care about such a fight. Yun Er had only been in this Black Mountain Island for a day. Although he was a little arrogant, he was never ambiguous in doing business. As long as the business was settled, it was easy to pay the bill. I never heard that he owed anyone anything.

I didn't pay for the goods, so I was very willing to do business with him.

"It seems that the young master only wants the best ginseng. In that case, I still have two ginseng plants here that are barely worthy of the young master's attention, but the price is naturally a bit more expensive."

Yun Zheng saw a Khitan merchant take out two brocade boxes from his carriage. After opening them, he found that they indeed contained two ginseng plants with intact roots. They were not only much larger than the ginseng displayed outside, but also much more beautiful.

"These are two hundred-year-old ginseng. I won't take out the others that are not old enough or heavy enough. I wonder how much the young master plans to pay?"

The big man of the Yun family glanced at Yun Er and nodded. He was sure that this thing was really ginseng and not something like radish. As for the price, it was naturally the second son who had the final say.

Yun Er closed the brocade box, patted the box and said, "It's not convenient to bring gold and silver here. I have a few beads here. See if you can exchange them!"

As Yun Er spoke, he poured out two colorful pearls the size of pigeon eggs from his purse and placed them in his palm to show the Khitans.

In fact, there is no shortage of pearls in Liaodong. Dongzhu is also famous for its good pearls. Dongzhu is large, plump, round and crystal clear, and can emit colorful luster. The jewelry made from it is shining and full of nobility and luxury, and is deeply loved by the Khitan people.

loved.

So when they saw the pearl on Yun's second hand, the Khitan people sighed and said, "This is the southern pearl!"

Yun Er smiled and said: "That's true. I wonder if we can exchange it?" (To be continued)
