"With a transaction between the two sides on such a scale, how could the imperial court be short of Sanchuan specialties such as sheepskins and wool?"

Jie Ziyu and Tao Hong glanced at each other, and then glanced at the carriage behind them with a wry smile.

If there is a 'shortage of goods' in the transaction volume of the imperial court, then what is the use of the carriage behind them? It's not enough to describe.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, even Wen Shaobo had to admit that the King of Su was indeed supporting them as private businessmen in the way of "making the household lose money".

It's just that with the transaction volume of the household department of the imperial court, it won't care about this little loss from private merchants, right?

"We're ...... It's too weak. ”

Uncle Wen muttered.

Jie Ziyu and Tao Hong were stunned, because what Wen Shaobo said was exactly what they really thought in their hearts.

"Let's go, let's go to the city."

Seeing the loss and confusion in his best friend's eyes, Jie Ziyu comforted in a low voice: "Use the goods on the carriage in exchange for the specialties of the Sanchuan alien race, transport them back to China, repeat them a few times, and we can have ...... A lot of capital. ”

Wen Shaobo nodded silently, and after reluctantly looking at the dense boats on the water, he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "One day, I will also have such a number of ships!" …… Comparable to the merchant ships of the Imperial Court! ”

『……』

Jie Ziyu and Tao Hong looked at Wen Shaobo, who was giggling on weekdays, in surprise, and were quite surprised that the latter actually wanted to be on a par with the imperial court household one day.

However, Wen Shaobo's rare momentum that seemed to make people disappear in an instant as he stepped into the city.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

As he stood near the gate of the city gate and shouted three times, Wen Shaobo stared at the stalls and wooden shops all over the city with wide eyes, and he was horrified.

Because in their eyes, this city is like a market that has been magnified countless times, and it is very lively.

In the city, patrols abound, some are Shangshui soldiers wearing Wei armor, and some are Sanchuan cavalry leading horses and slowly walking through the streets.

On both sides of the road, the Qiang, Qian, and Qiang people laid out high-quality goods and greeted Wei merchants who came and went in the stiff Wei Chinese language.

Yes, the merchants of the Wei State in the city made Wen Shaobo bite his tongue in many places.

"This, this, this ......" he pointed to the Wei people who had the same purpose as him, and was speechless in shock.

However, Tao Hong seemed to guess what he meant, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Xian, do you think we are smart people?" As far as I know, the number of Wei people here increased dramatically half a month ago, don't forget, King Su ordered the household department to issue a notice to every county in the country, if the foolish brother expected, those counties that are closer to the Chenggao army, such as Yangzhai, Zhongmu, Yangwu and other counties, I am afraid that the people there have already made a round trip and are on their way to the second time......"

Wen Shaobo's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Jie Zi, hurry up, quickly find a place to sell the things on our carriage!" ”

"Soon...... I won't be able to make a second round trip this year."

Jie Zilu smiled slightly.

He doesn't value money, after all, his goal is to be a career.

The reason why he accompanied Wen Shaobo this time was only because the latter was kindly invited, and he was also a little worried about what dangers this best friend would encounter on the way to travel alone.

And now that I have arrived in the city, I find that the security situation here is excellent, and Jie Ziyu no longer worries about anything, and looks at this city with interest.

The first thing Jie Zi Yu noticed about the city, which is said to be a "free trade city", was the flags that were either hung or erected inside and outside the city.

The flag, with the noble color of Wei purple as the main color, highlights the noble left, which is the word "Wei" in black and white frame, and the pride of Wei is painted below the words, a two-wheeled chariot with horses; On the right, there is the word "Chuanyu" in the color of grass, and the image of an alien cavalryman riding a horse and holding a bow is painted at the bottom.

In the center of the font and pattern on the left and right sides, a vertical sword is embroidered in the sheath, which means "to put the sword into the sheath", which means "peace".

And on the edge of the flag, there are many auspicious clouds and beasts, which are quite wonderful.

"It's good-looking, this is depicted by King Su himself, and then the Ministry of Industry and the Smelting Bureau were called to work together to make it."

A merchant soldier passing by, seeing Jie Zilu staring blankly at those flags, said triumphantly.

Jie Ziyu nodded at the other party in good faith, and then continued to look at the flags in surprise.

Although he had long heard that King Su was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he did not expect that His Royal Highness King Su, who led the army to victory in the Great War one after another, would really know how to paint.

In his mind, he imagined a fifteen-year-old boy commanding the army with a calm expression in front of thousands of troops, while his mind was as calm as water......

But after a few breaths, Jie Ziyu shook his head suddenly, because that scene was too discordant.

"Meson."

Wen Shaobo patted his friend on the shoulder in a daze, and said to him, "Brother Tao has found a vacant land, let's go over." ”

"Oh." Jie Zi nodded his head.

After a while, Wen Shaobo and the three of them came to an open space where no one set up a stall, and put out the goods on the carriage one after another.

I have to say that Jie Ziyu's judgment criteria for the goods are incredible, and he suggested that Wen Shaobo carry the goods over, and after a while, they were all bought by a man who claimed to be from the Lun tribe of the Lun clan.

And the other party paid two wooden boxes of "copper coins" for this, but it was not the Wei Guoyuan money that Wen Shaobo was familiar with.

"What kind of copper coin is this...... Can it be done? ”

Wen Shaobo picked up a copper coin and asked the Lun man suspiciously.

Unexpectedly, the Lun man who knew Wei Chinese said with a smile: "Little brother, you just arrived in Luocheng, right?" ”

"Right...... How do you know? ”

The Lun man smiled and said, "As long as you walk around the city a few times, you will see that the transactions in various places in the city are settled with this kind of copper coins of your Wei Kingdom. ”

"But this is not our Wei country's copper coin......" Wen Shaobo said in amazement.

The Lun man smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Su said that this is a 'commemorative coin', in order to commemorate the elimination of the conflict between the 'Great Wei' and my 'Sichuan Yu' and establish diplomatic relations with each other, and specially let your country's ...... The household department asked the craftsmen there to rush to make it. At present, your Great Wei may not be able to circulate in the country, but it doesn't matter, I believe that when you leave Luocheng, you will exchange these coins for our Sanchuan specialties. ”

"Commemorative coins?"

Listening curiously, Jie Zilu also picked up a copper coin from the wooden box.

After weighing it, well, it's quite heavy, a little heavier than the big money of Wei.

To the surprise of Jie Ziyu, these copper coins were cast quite exquisitely, and on one side they were printed with the pride symbol of the Wei State, the "Horse Two-Wheeled Chariot", and the three characters "Wei Banliang" were clearly engraved on it, and the finished character was in the shape of the finished product.

On the reverse side, there were some characters engraved that he couldn't understand, and he later learned that this was the script of the Qiang people.

Probably noticing that Jie Zilu was looking at the inscription on the reverse side of the coin, the Lun man picked up a coin and said with a smile: "That's our Sanchuan text, 'Ten coins for the whole skin, 100 coins for the whole sheep', ten such coins can buy a complete sheepskin, and a hundred such coins can buy a sheep." ”

"A hundred of these dollars can buy a sheep?" Wen Shaobo looked back at the two boxes of coins in shock, and then his eyes lit up.

After all, these coins, roughly estimated, may be able to buy twenty or thirty sheep, and if they are shipped back to China, the value must not be increased several times?

"Jie Zi ......," he looked at Jie Zi Owl with a look of surprise.

But seeing that Jie Zilu seemed to see through his thoughts, he shook his head calmly and said: "The danger of transporting live animals back to China is too great, in case there are too many casualties on the way, we will run away in vain this trip, give up." ”

Wen Shaobo opened his mouth, and then said with a little frustration: "Then let's bring one or two sheep when we go back, right?" ”

Jie Ziyu smiled faintly, and then asked the Lun man, "Excuse me, where can I buy the best sheepskins here?" ”

"Where can I buy the best sheepskins?" The Lun man laughed and said, "Little brother, this is our Sichuan City, you can stop a person on the road, whether he is a Qiang, a Qiang, or a Qiang, their tribe has countless flocks and sheepskins. But ......" Speaking of this, he looked at Uncle Wen and Jie Ziyu and asked, "Just the two of you?" ”

"That's right." Wen Shaobo said with some puzzlement.

"That's trouble......" said the man frowned, "and the copper money you have now can buy a lot of sheepskins, and with your carriage, I'm afraid four or five can be loaded...... But it's just the two of you. ”

"......" Uncle Wen and Jie Ziyu understood, and looked at each other.

Yes, two people, how can they bring back the sheepskins of four or five wagons back to the country?

This time, even Jie Zilu was a little stunned, because he didn't expect the profit of this trip to be so high.

And at this moment, the man stretched out two fingers and asked in a low voice, "Do you want obedient and obedient slaves?" One slave, two sheep...... That's two hundred copper coins. ”

"Slave ......"

Wen Shaobo and Jie Zi looked at each other.

And at this moment, the man of the Lun clan said with a smile: "Do you want to go with me to see?" Slaves are obedient and easy to feed, and as long as you keep them fed every day, they will die for you. ”

Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu were fooled away by this Lun man.

And after waiting for half an hour, when Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu landed and came out from the headquarters of the Lun tribe of the Yi clan, they were already followed by ten slaves, although they looked a little thin, but they were quite bright.

"Will they betray us?"

Wen Shaobo asked the man who sent them out with some concern, but saw the latter smile and said: "Don't worry, they have no home in the north anymore, they are willing to be slaves to your Wei people, and the Wei people are in our Sichuan...... Tsk tsk. ”

Wen Shaobo followed the gaze of this Lun man to look at the ten slaves, but strangely found that these people looked at him as if they had seen a big box of gold nuggets, and their eyes lit up.

This kind of eagerness made Wen Shaobo shudder.

As if noticing Wen Shaobo's expression, the Lun man put his arm around his shoulders and said with a grin, "Stay in Ruocheng for a few more days, and you will find out how useful the identity of the Wei people is...... )
