The sun was hanging on the top of the town. Li Xiangcai got up and walked to the core streets of the town with two guards. He had not gone shopping yet when he arrived outside the Northwest Pass. This town is the most prosperous place outside the Northwest Pass. I'm sorry if I didn't take a good stroll.
I came here from Xiliang City myself.
The main method of transaction in the town is bartering, but most of the food is paid in silver. Li Xiang had some silver with him, not much, just thirty taels.
Thirty taels of silver is the cost of changing jobs for several soldiers!
The main streets of the town were full of people setting up stalls. No one called out, they just placed their goods on the ground. The owners of the goods lay lazily on the ground and basked in the sun. Today's weather is good, and the sunshine that has not been seen for a long time is still there.
It makes people want to squint.
Some people in beautiful clothes, who didn't look like people from outside the Northwest Pass, were squatting in front of the stalls, bargaining quietly with the stall owners. Li Xiang and the two guards attracted countless eyes. The height of the two guards was okay, but Li Xiang's height made many
Everyone feels a sense of oppression.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street were open for business, and people walked in from time to time. Li Xiang looked around from time to time. Most of the things on those stalls were treasures that could enhance cultivation.
He looked down upon and had no use for it. The soldiers in the Xiliang camp improved their strength firstly by killing, and secondly by practicing on their own. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures might also improve their cultivation, but the price of those goods made Li Xiang give up immediately after seeing them.
Any medicinal plant costs at least a few hundred taels of silver, and some require other treasures to exchange for.
Instead of spending money on this, he might as well exchange the money for a few soldiers.
After wandering around the streets for a while, Li Xiang came to a building, Qingye Xuan, which is the place where spiritual bamboos are collected and one of the five major chambers of commerce in the town.
In the past, the goods in Qingzhu Village were delivered to Qingye Xuan.
There is no shortage of buyers for the top-grade spiritual bamboo in Li Xiang's hands. He wants to see which one offers the highest price. He doesn't need any natural treasures. What he needs is gold and silver.
The three of them walked into Qingye Xuanzhong. It was only the second day since the town opened. There were quite a few people in Qingye Xuanzhong, and most of them were representatives of small forces.
Only the five major chambers of commerce can afford their goods, so the prices are naturally higher.
The hall is very large, with some tables placed. Generally, transactions are completed in the hall, and the really big transactions will go to the back room.
"Sir, please come with me!" A waiter walked up to Mr. Li and felt the height difference between him and Mr. Li. The waiter lowered his head and greeted: "Please wait a moment!"
The waiter took Li Xiang to a seat by the window and sat down. Another waiter brought a pot of tea, and the guards following Li Xiang stood behind.
Li Xiang looked at several tables around him. Sitting on each table was a young man in a green robe. The person wearing the green robe should be from Qingye Xuan.
Li Xiang drank gently from the teacup that looked extremely small in his hand. After a while, a young man with some sweat on his forehead hurried over.
The young man came to Li Xiang and was stunned for a moment. He sat in front of Li Xiang and looked up at Li Xiang with a smile: "I don't know, what kind of goods does this lord have?"
"The best spiritual bamboo!" Li Xiang put down the tea cup: "I have a batch of top quality spiritual bamboo and a large amount of ordinary spiritual bamboo in my hand. I want to sell it. I don't know what price your merchant will give!"
"The best spiritual bamboo is worth ten taels of silver per gram. The quality of ordinary spiritual bamboo depends on it. The quality is generally one hundred coins per gram. If the quality is good, it costs two hundred coins per gram!" Zhao Qingsong said bluntly: "The quantity of ordinary spiritual bamboo must be
If it’s too much, we won’t accept it otherwise, you should know this, sir!”
Heavenly materials and earthly treasures like the top-grade spiritual bamboo would be rare in Daqian, but in places like the Northwest Pass, there are many such spiritual treasures. Yesterday, he saw someone sending more than a dozen ferocious beasts.
After listening to Zhao Qingsong's words, Li Xiang realized that the price was much higher than what Zhang Qingyun had said.
Zhao Qingsong continued: "If you don't like to trade with silver, our merchants have many other medicinal materials and elixirs that can be used for trading!"
The best spiritual bamboo is just a waste in places like the Northwest Pass, but after it is made into spiritual paper in Daqian, the price suddenly skyrockets. Don't think that one gram of spiritual bamboo and ten taels of silver is very expensive. Compared with the spiritual paper, it is really too expensive. Cheaper!
"Just trade with silver!" Li Xiangke never thought of trading with anything else, he only wanted money!
"The goods are over there in my camp. I wonder if we should bring them over, or if your business will go?" The price was in line with his heart's price, and Li Xiang didn't want to bargain anymore.
When Zhao Qingsong heard what Li Xiang said, the smile on Li's face became even brighter. A deal was finally completed today!
"If you have a lot of goods, people from our Chamber of Commerce can bring them over. If you have a little, you can bring them over!"
"It's quite a lot. We used twenty people when we came here!" Li Xiang said.
Twenty people transported it, which was a big deal. Zhao Qingsong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he was not afraid of being intercepted.
"Then let the people from our Chamber of Commerce go. You wait here, I will report to the court!" Zhao Qingsong was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he finished sitting early to feel at ease.
This is a lot of money. As long as he completes it, he will be stable and become a member of the Northwest Pass. The salary earned outside the Northwest Pass can be several times more than that of Daqian. If he is lucky, he will do more big orders. In January You can earn a lot more money than you would in the outside world.
"Um!"
Li Xiang nodded. Clean up the goods as soon as possible. After visiting the town, you can return to Xiliang City. The Western Plan is about to begin!
After a while, Zhao Qingsong came over with a few people, stood up and left the hall with a few glances.
Zhao Qingsong knew that Li Xianggao was so tall, but he didn't expect him to be so tall. He only reached someone's chest. He was not short, and he had such thick arms. Perhaps only such a strong man could survive in this chaotic place. He had just arrived outside the Northwest Pass. In the past two days, he saw several fights outside the city, with both sides fighting to the death. The scene would wake him up at night.
Zhao Qingsong followed Li Xiang for about a cup of tea. Zhao Qingsong chatted with Li Xiang from time to time on the way. He wanted to stay and work outside the Northwest Pass, so he naturally wanted to make friends with a strong man like Li Xiang.
Walking to the Qingzhu Village camp, Li Xiang asked people to take out the bamboos. The spiritual bamboos that could be brought here were all selected. The quality was much better than others. There were thirty-six bundles in total, which were taken from the best parts of the spiritual bamboos. Full of spiritual energy and good-looking.
As soon as they saw these spiritual bamboos, the people Zhao Qingsong brought over knew that these spiritual bamboos were of very good quality and were already the best among ordinary spiritual bamboos.
"These bamboos are not bad!" Li Xiang looked at everyone's eyes. These bamboos are all good bamboos: "I don't know if they can be as good as yours!"
Zhao Qingsong touched the bamboos with his hands. If he took the bamboos back, he was convinced: "Forget it, why don't you count it!"
"Brothers, please help me weigh them!" Zhao Qingsong said to the people he brought: "When this business is completed, I will gather together in the Juying Building with my younger brothers!"
The few people who came out with Zhao Qingsong are from Qingye Xuanzhong who specialize in calculating the weight and quality of goods and have fixed high salaries. Zhao Qingsong is the kind of person who only has a little salary to support himself every month. If you want to get more money, then work hard.
Receive goods.
The more good goods he receives, the higher his income will be. For this batch of goods, Zhao Qingsong can earn at least dozens of taels of silver.
"It's easy to talk!" The leader among the group of people took out a nickname from somewhere and said: "Get busy!"
Several people got busy, cutting the ropes that trapped the spiritual bamboos, and measuring the weight of each bamboo. Li Xiang walked to the cheerful Zhao Qingsong and whispered: "Let's go see the best spiritual bamboos!"
The best spiritual bamboo!
Only then did Zhao Qingsong realize that the reason for coming here this time was the top-quality spiritual bamboo.
The two left the yard and walked to a house, where five guards were holding a two-meter-two-meter-long box.
"Open!"
Click!
The box was opened, and a refreshing spiritual energy came out. Zhao Qingsong walked up quickly and saw green spiritual bamboos lying quietly. Those spiritual energy emanated from the top-grade spiritual bamboos.
Even these spiritual bamboo quilts
Even after being cut down, they are still transforming, absorbing, and releasing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Zhao Qingsong cautiously reached out and touched it, just once. This kind of treasure was not something someone like him could handle.
"Zhang Zhang, do you want to sell all these spiritual bamboos?" Zhao Qingsong wanted to confirm again. If the ordinary spiritual bamboos outside can directly earn him three to five years of money, then these top-grade spiritual bamboos in front of him
, he can earn more than ten years of money.
One gram of top-quality spiritual bamboo is worth ten taels of silver. The spiritual bamboo in front of you weighs at least a hundred grams, and one piece is worth nearly a thousand silver...
Li Xiang smiled and said: "If you don't sell it, why should I ask you to do it? But I only want gold and silver, and I don't want anything else!"
Li Xiang also thought about asking for food, but food in the small town was very expensive. The more he bought, the more expensive it became. Even if he sold all the bamboos, he would not get much food.
Now Xiliang City also has a Juhu grain-producing area. He just needs to wait patiently and there will be more and more grain.
"Camp Leader Li, you stay on guard, I'll go out and let a few of them come in to calculate first!"
....
In an inconspicuous small courtyard in a small town, Zhou Hangjie, who was still wearing a black robe, sat quietly, with a chessboard in front of him. Opposite him, sitting opposite him, was a middle-aged man in a white robe.
"Brother Wan, I don't know what you are thinking about?" Zhou Hangjie held the black chess and dropped it. The man in white across from him chuckled, raised the black chess and then dropped it: "Don't worry, it's still a long time!"
Zhou Hangjie shook his head slightly, with some sadness on his brows: "The White Lotus Sect is becoming more and more powerful in the south. If we can't get rid of them before they become powerful, the south may be in ruins in the future!"
The man in white was a little helpless. He glanced outside the small courtyard and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking in. The helplessness on his face disappeared: "Brother Zhou, this matter has not yet reached the time, and it is of great importance. Please wait a little longer."
Some time!"
Zhou Hangjie felt someone coming from outside, and also felt that he was a little anxious just now. He picked up the tea next to him and took a sip: "Is the person coming here a disciple of Lingjiu Palace?"
The man in white nodded: "They came to get some herbs. I have ordered people to find them. In three days, they will return with the caravan and let Yulan prepare them!"
"Okay!" Zhou Hangjie stood up: "Come back later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hangjie's figure disappeared. The man in white waved his hand and restored the chessboard to its original appearance. He gently sipped the tea and said, "Xuan Tian Sect's Apparition, it seems that you are really not that simple, Brother Zhou."
In the blink of an eye, two women came to the man in white: "Uncle Wan!"
If Zhang Qingyun was nearby, he would definitely recognize that these two girls were the two girls he met in Juying Tower.
"I'm back, how was the food at Juyinglou outside Northwest Pass?" the man in white said with a smile.
The younger girl in pink clothes said: "It's delicious, but it's very expensive. One meal cost us seven taels of silver. Seven taels of silver can be used to eat two meals in the pass!"
"Hahaha, isn't money just for use?" The man in white looked at the woman in light aqua blue clothes and said: "Xinlan, on the street, you can see if you want something, the environment outside the northwest pass is not as good as inside the pass.
But there are many treasures of heaven and earth, so when you go back, you have to bring something back to give to the junior sisters!"
Xinlan glanced at the girl in pink clothes next to her and said a little awkwardly: "The disciple came back just to get the silver coins, but all the silver coins he brought out have been used up!"
The man in white was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the girl in pink. The girl's face was blushing: "Senior sister, I'll get the money first!"
After saying that, she ran towards the room at a trot. Xinlan saluted the man in white and followed her.
