Liu Mu turned around and hooked his finger at the little nobleman, but the little nobleman didn't react, and the two guards directly put the person in front of Liu Mu, and Liu Mu asked, "Tell me, how much gold or silver can be exchanged for this hundred pieces of cloth." ”

"Two, two hundred taels. Perhaps it could be exchanged for two hundred and twenty taels of silver. ”

Liu Mu looked back at Jiang Ke, Jiang Ke immediately understood what Liu Mu meant, and came over and grabbed the little nobleman's collar: "If you want your whole family to live, give you three days, and you will exchange one hundred and twenty taels of silver for every hundred pieces of cloth." There is no problem. ”

"One day, one day I can get the silver back. I can get many, many back. ”

"No, just exchange it at one hundred and twenty taels per hundred, and the maximum cannot exceed one hundred and thirty taels, and the extra is the freight, as well as the reward for the porter, and it is one hundred and twenty taels to be shipped out of Beisha City, and the rules cannot be broken, and it is not allowed to increase the price arbitrarily."

The little nobleman dared to resist and nodded violently.

Only a quarter of an hour later, this surname Cui, this surname Cui has nothing to do with his ancestors, it is a surname he chose for himself when he became the lowest minor noble, because Cui is a big surname in the Central Plains.

His name is Cui Dazhong.

Or the clock of the clock.

An hour later, having changed into new clothes, and riding a donkey, he had come to a place called Mount Sileng, thirty miles north of the city of Beisha, where there were two forts.

Originally, it was only used as a transit for materials, and it was one of the four forts to assist in the defense of the two cities of Xinjin and Beisha.

There are currently 4,000 Goguryeo soldiers gathered here to defend the enemy from Beisha Fortress heading north, and more soldiers are being mobilized to the side of Xinjin City and Jangsan City.

The main general here is surnamed Xie Mingxia, who was originally the deputy general of the new Jincheng, and led the troops to guard here.

Choi Dae-jong asks for Insight Ha, because he has dealt with the new Jincheng defender many times when he used to sell pickles and grain.

Xie Xia politely invited Cui Dazhong into the house and gave him a bowl of hot porridge.

"How is there in the city, how many enemy troops are there?"

Cui Dazhong shook his head violently when he heard this: "I can't say it, I can't say a superfluous word, my family will be in that city, and they will all die." ”

"And what are you doing here?" Xie Xia didn't understand, how could the Tang people let this little businessman out.

Cui Dazhong opened the backpack and pushed the hemp in front of Xie Xia.

"I don't know anything, this time it's a burlap for silver, as long as I succeed in exchanging back silver, my family won't die, so I have to come out."

"The linen cloth is good, this is Datang's middle and high-grade fine linen, which is worth a lot of money." Xie Xia is also a person who knows goods.

Cui Dazhong immediately said: "One hundred horses for one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”

"What?" Xie Xia seriously suspected that he had misheard: "You just said that a hundred horses of such cloth cost one hundred and twenty taels of silver?" This can't be, there must be something wrong with this, is it because there are a lot of bad things in the linen, or something else? ”

Cui Dazhong shook his head: "I don't know, one hundred horses for one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”

Xie Xia asked again: "What else did the Tang people tell you?" ”

Cui Dazhong continued to shake his head, Xie Xia didn't understand whether he didn't know, or didn't want to say. But now, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to take advantage, and immediately asked: "Then Tang Ren said, how much can you get?" ”

"I didn't say it, but the Tang people said that this is the price in Beisha City, and they will be sent here to add ten taels for every hundred horses."

"Ten taels is ten taels, you bring me five hundred horses first. No, a thousand horses. ”

The first deal was negotiated, because the price was so low.

Xie Xia took out ten gold cakes and one silver cake from his military expenses as sincerity gold.

When Cui Dazhong walked back, many middle-level officers turned to Xie Xia: "What if he gets the ten golden cakes and runs away?" ”

"No, I feel that the problem is also in the goods, not to cheat this golden cake."

Another said: "General, you secretly took military funds from the treasury, in case this matter is known to the above, how to do it." ”

Xie Xia nodded silently when he heard this: "Yes." But don't be afraid, you hurry back to the city, see if there are any big merchants to collect these cloths, let's increase the price and change hands, and there is no problem in fighting for twenty taels of silver for every hundred horses." ”

Cui Dazhong walked back less than ten miles, and saw a team of 500 people in the distance, carrying their backs to the Tang Army's defensive camp outside the city.

When Cui Dazhong arrived at the barracks, a young official asked him, "How much." ”

Cui Dazhong hurriedly offered the gold and silver cakes, and then replied, "A thousand horses." ”

"Okay, there you go."

The people in the barracks who carried the baskets on their backs divided a hundred people and immediately followed Cui Dazhong to Xie Xia, and the gold and silver cakes were also arranged to be sent back to Beisha City by horse.

Liu Mu was speechless when he saw the gold and silver cake.

Jiang Ke also smiled: "Lang Jun obviously saw Goguryeo's gold and silver for the first time. ”

"Yes!"

"Lang Jun, gold has seven greens, eight yellows, nine purples and ten reds, and this gold cake can't even reach seven greens." Jiang Ke knew very well that Goguryeo did not have good refining technology, so it could not make pure gold at all.

Liu Mu knew a little silver, stabbed twice with a knife, and shook his head helplessly when he saw a deep trace, there was a lot of lead and tin mixed here. Of course, when it comes to silver ore, it is mixed in tin, lead and other mining areas, which is not a fraud.

Jiang Ke took the piece of silver cake and threw it to the guard, who drew his knife and cut it off.

"Yellow with black, dull. Sixty percent of the silver is pure. However, we did not lose anything, and the workshop price of this batch of linen cloth was one hundred and sixty-four wen, and one hundred horses were only sixteen taels of silver. ”

"Freight, tariffs, labor, profits, ......"

"It's still a huge profit, an extreme profit!" Jiang Ke couldn't close his mouth with a smile anymore.

Liu Mu came over this time, and the linen cloth alone was two boats, and one boat could hold at least more than 10,000 horses.

The width of Datang's cloth loom is officially regulated, and the cloth is divided into two types: one foot five inches wide and one foot eight inches wide, that is, about 50 or 60 centimeters. The length is four, six, and ten, and ten zhang is 33.333 meters. The weight is divided into ten zhang horses according to the thickness, six catties, nine catties, and twelve catties.

This time, Liu Mu brought out six catties of cloth, one foot five inches, and ten zhang horses.

Liu Mu is a little helpless for the silver, and it is no wonder that the silver of Goguryeo is not worth much, it turns out that the purity is too low. But how can this be worth half of it, and the price is quite acceptable.

On both sides, after Xie Xia saw the cloth, he arranged for someone to randomly select it, and then opened the reroll.

I rolled twenty horses in a row, and I didn't find any problems, all of them were high-quality cloth.

"It's weird, it's all good linen, but why is it at such a price, it's so cheap that people can't understand it." Although Xie Xia was puzzled, he still ordered someone to pay.
