Section 0759 Small boats at sea
Several silver boxes were brought over, and they were worth two hundred taels of silver, or forty-six kilograms. This is one hundred taels plus the freight, and then subtract the ten gold cakes that were given before, and the extra piece of silver cake is not counted, it is Xie Xia who rewarded Cui Dazhong, and there are three boxes of dissatisfaction here.
In the evening, Cui Dazhong finally completed the task and placed the silver box in front of Liu Mu.
"Come, release his family, return the property to him, and choose a good manor to reward him."
After Liu Mu commanded, Cui Dazhong almost cried.
"Also, continue to sell out, and add one more thing tomorrow, no matter how much you sell, three thousandths of what I will reward you." After speaking, Liu Mu snapped his fingers, and two young men with account books and Goguryeo stood beside Cui Dazhong.
At night, Cui Dazhong hugged his family and cried to death.
Liu Mu was in a daze at the silver, which could not be used at all, so he could only carry it back and return to the furnace.
The new golden city in Goguryeo.
Instead of getting angry, Xie Xia's boss opened the warehouse in the city, and all the gold, silver and jewelry were pushed in front of Xie Xia: "You, go to that merchant and tell him how many Tang people's cloths there are, let's ask for them all." The merchant you are looking for is too small, so I immediately went north to find a few big merchants. ”
"What if the Tang people have 10,000 horses?" Xie Xia Xin said, this costs a lot of money.
"A hundred thousand horses are swallowed, and it doesn't matter if you don't have gold or silver. In five days at most, I will be able to collect 100,000 taels of silver cakes from Dandong. Give me two months, and I'll be able to scrape together 100,000 pieces of gold. You just need to remember to carefully inspect the goods of the Tang people every time, as long as the quality is good, how much to swallow. There's a share of that. ”
"Order!"
Xie Xia didn't doubt the words of his boss, because his boss was surnamed Gao, and although he was a distant branch of the royal family, he was also a big nobleman. He could call on the money of many nobles' families.
Gao Luo Zheng is very confident that the huge difference between this linen cloth and the current Goguryeo has made a fortune on his own.
Goguryeo did not have coins, rice was currency, and this high-quality hemp currency was also equivalent to currency.
In Gao Luozheng's eyes, this is the same as the envoys exchanging gold and silver for coins in Chang'an, which is a big advantage.
What Gao Luozheng and Xie Xia didn't expect was that on this night, many ordinary soldiers borrowed all the boats from several fishing villages on the beach, and also hired a large number of people who were originally fishermen, and rowed along the beach at night to bring the miscellaneous silver pieces they had made up, as well as variegated gems and so on.
At the location of Jinlong Bay in the later generations, the frightened souls of the soldiers guarding the coast flew.
From afar, I watched the dense boats on the sea approach the shallows.
The Silla Lieutenant who was guarding here released the alarm signal like a madman, and then led the men to the shallows with all their weapons.
The barracks guarding here immediately sent people to rush here.
When the defenders arrived, and countless torches lit up the shallows, both sides were stunned.
On one side, it is like facing a great enemy, fully armed. On the other side, there were Goguryeo military uniforms and fishermen's rags, but they did not have a single weapon.
"Buy cloth!"
As soon as the Silla soldiers communicated with the Goguryeo soldiers, the Silla soldiers brought the news closer and rushed to the Tang soldiers.
After thinking for a while, the Tang soldier said, "The warehouse with cloth is the closest from here, and it will be almost dawn when we pull it over, can you wait?" ”
The Goguryeo soldiers shook their heads.
The Tang soldiers sent someone to the nearest warehouse to fetch some items.
One after another jars of minced fish and shrimp paste, which are all added with spices from Lingnan. Then there are jars of kimchi, which are the two most worthless dishes in the Tang Dynasty, radish and cabbage.
Then there are combs, shoes, scissors, needles and threads, etc.
"These shoes only cost 20 yuan."
This is a linen shoe, multi-layered sole, leaning on a willow hand-cranked sole machine, which is faster than manual I don't know how many times.
The delicate linen shoes are only 20 yuan, and such shoes cost at least 50 yuan in Pingcheng, and the workmanship may not be so fine.
The Tang soldiers knew Goguryeo better than Liumu, and they knew that the silver here was very poor.
Each side sent representatives, and on the Tang side, Silla soldiers and Japanese soldiers participated. These earnings are related to their unnecessarily rewarding money.
Although Shangfeng has not yet replied to tonight's incident, these soldiers are talking with low-ranking officers and Goguryeo people.
The Tang soldiers are all escorted by the chief of Liumu, they probably know everything, they dare to sell the civilian materials, and the price is about a few times. Armament and other things will definitely not talk to the enemy at will.
When the reply from the peak arrived, and the transaction was allowed, the price had already been negotiated here.
Everything that the Goguryeo people brought over was first converted into Tang money, and then converted into supplies.
Boatloads of kimchi, shrimp paste, shoes, combs, and other items began to be pulled back, and the Goguryeo soldiers agreed to trade another 1,000 pieces of cloth after five days, and they went back to pool the money to exchange it.
The lord of the new golden city looked down on these small merchants in his city, but the soldiers did.
As soon as their boats entered the fishing village, they didn't even have to unload the boats, and immediately small merchants came to negotiate the price of the boats, and directly hired these fishing boats to go north and ship them to the Yingkou area.
Many also went to the carriage, or the porter, and also went north.
In the next few days, people quietly ran over to purchase supplies every night, and even on the land, some people boldly ran directly to the camp in the north defense of Beisha City, and asked to buy goods.
This continued until the eighth day.
Gao Luo, the new gold city lord, led his troops to the gate of the garrison camp, and 50,000 taels of silver were piled up directly in front of the camp gate.
Two military attachés wearing armor but without any official position markings walked in front of Gao Luo together.
"Gao Luozheng, the city lord of the new golden city."
"The eldest grandson eagle man, the third battalion of the Kumamoto mercenary of the Purple Island, and the retainer of the uncle of the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty."
Another also reported his name: "Kim Wuji, Captain of the 1st Battalion of the Silla New Army." ”
Captain Guo Yi is a high-ranking official under the fifth grade, and he is in charge of the main battalion of soldiers and horses, that is, 3,000 to 3,800 people.
Gao Luozheng knew that there must still be Tang people, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask why Tang people didn't come forward, and now he was asking for money instead of going to war, nor negotiating. As long as there is someone who can call the shots, he can give himself the sackcloth at the agreed price.
The soldiers secretly traded some things in private, which Gao Luozheng didn't care, and it was not easy to manage.
When he ate meat, he always kept soup for the junior officers and soldiers.
"Here, fifty thousand taels of silver cakes." Gao Luo was pointing behind him, and after the soldiers received the order, they opened all the boxes one by one, and many people who saw boxes of silver cakes had their eyes straightened.
