Chapter 678: Chenghui

The horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the village through the bumpy road, which was lined with farmland, and the children of the villagers trotted along the road to keep up with the convoy, laughing and jumping.

Surrounded by children, smiling merchants drove their wagons into the village.

The farmer who was working in the field also turned his head curiously, their village was very remote, and it was not a small thing to have a merchant on weekdays.

Generally speaking, remoteness means poverty, but also means a bumpy road, like the road into a village, the carriage is difficult to get into, even for people, it is not particularly easy to get through that part of the road.

The village is not very large, with a population of only a few dozen, and after mid-spring, the weather is still quite cold, and the children are still wearing the old clothes worn by their elders, and if they had come here in the summer, probably the merchants would have been able to see a large group of barefoot and naked children running around the entrance of the village.

The news of the arrival of a merchant soon spread throughout the village, and both the women and the half-grown children who were working in the house went out of the house, and even a few old people leaned against the door to watch the village entrance that was becoming more and more lively.

"Everybody come and take a look!"

The merchant stepped out of the carriage and shouted at the crowd gathered around him, then took out a 'wooden shelf' from the carriage.

"This-" The merchant held up the 'wooden shelf' in his hand and focused everyone's attention on it, "this thing is called a 'plow', I think many people have never seen it, and the purpose of this thing is to turn over the fields!"

People looked at it curiously, but soon lost interest, and except for some children, the adults, although they had a 'wanted' thought in their eyes, forced themselves to twist their necks and look away.

When the merchant saw this, his eyes narrowed, he put the zigyuan plough on the ground, and then took out a 'wooden rack' from the carriage, and cried out: "This thing, called the 'cocoon cart,' is a kind of 'seed drill,' with which the speed of farming can be increased at least twice...... It doesn't matter how much you don't know, but with this, if you take care of it, you can double your autumn harvest and be able to have more harvests!"

When he finished shouting, he found that the people were looking at him with a foolish look, and the merchant did not get angry, but continued to grin and take out one farm tool after another.

Iron hoes, flails, dustpans......

One farm tool after another was taken out of the wagon, and even the adults couldn't help but tilt their necks to see how much was in the wagon.

After taking out all the things, the merchant looked at the farm tools on the ground and grinned, "That's all! Let's take a look, this sickle, if you go out to buy it, it should be two silver coins a handle, but now, you only need one silver coin, or the equivalent of a silver coin, you can buy this sickle!"

After hearing the merchant's words, the adults' eyes widened, a silver coin?!

Soon, the crowd became noisy, and some old people couldn't help but look at it.

"What's wrong?" An old voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, and the people standing on the outskirts of the crowd looked over, a little surprised, and then made way for the old man.

The people in the front row were tapped on the shoulder, and after looking over, they naturally got out of the way, and the old man walked into the crowd on crutches, looked left and right, and asked unhurriedly, "What happened?" ”

The merchant put down his scythe, looked at the old man who came out of the crowd, and was a little puzzled, "Are you ......?"

"I'm the village chief here!"

The old man said slowly, glancing at the sickle in his hand and the farm tool at his feet, as if he understood what was going on.

"You're here to sell farm tools?" asked the old man.

After knowing the identity of the old man, the merchant smiled and nodded, "Yes, this kind of scythe, one silver coin!"

The old man, who was still a little calm, widened his eyes when he heard this, "A silver coin?!"

After seeing the surprise of the village chief, the corners of the merchant's mouth curled, and his eyebrows danced: "Of course, this is the goods that I came in at a low price, and the price is of course low, which still includes the 'transportation fee', otherwise the price will be lower!"

The old man blinked, feeling a little incredulous.

As the most knowledgeable man in the village, he had been to the 'Big City' with his father when he was young, and had led a team there twice.

Although I am now older, my original memory is a little less clear, but the scene in the 'big city' and the high prices of goods have always been deeply remembered.

A silver coin...... Isn't that too cheap?

How can a businessman be so honest!

As if seeing the doubts in the old man's heart, the merchant smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to raise the price, to be honest, I really want to sell it to you at the outside price, but there is no way, if you want to buy goods from the 'business alliance', you must sign a contract." Even so, I have to earn, and even no less than before. ”

The old man did not know what he was talking about or who he was talking about, but it seemed that the goods in the hands of the merchant were bought from there, and at a low price.

If he raises the price without permission, he won't be able to buy anything from there...... That's how it should be!

After seeing the suspicion on the old man's face, the merchant pursed his lips and handed out the scythe in his hand, "If you still don't believe me if I say that, you can 'try' it and use this to cut branches!"

The old man looked the merchant up and down a few times, and felt that what he said did not seem to be without credibility, not to mention that he also said that he could 'try'......

"Thane, come here. ”

The old man beckoned to the crowd, called his nephew over, pointed to the scythe, and said, "Take it and try it!"

The middle-aged man with an honest face walked over suspiciously, picked up the sickle and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Uncle, this one looks so sharp!"

The middle-aged man reached out and touched the cold scythe blade, and swallowed, "And it's very light, it's very comfortable to hold!"

Hearing his words, the merchant raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Of course, this is produced by the Gouge, who doesn't know now that the things produced by the Goure Principality are all good?

The middle-aged man turned over the handle and saw that there was indeed such a pattern, which was very small, but very delicate.

The old man also glanced at it, and urged impatiently: "Go and try it!"

"Oh, oh......"

The middle-aged man walked to a tree with a scythe, and several children followed him, their eyes fixed on the scythe in his hand.

The middle-aged man looked up, grabbed a slender branch, and slashed it with a scythe.

The knife fell in his hand, and the middle-aged man suddenly felt that his left hand was light, and the other end of the branch hung down to the ground.

The middle-aged man looked at the branches, then at the sickle in his hand, and suddenly looked overjoyed, "Uncle!"

Grabbing the branch in his hand and waving it to the crowd, after seeing this scene, the crowd was in an uproar, and cast their fiery eyes on the pile of farm tools at the merchant's feet, and several people looked at the merchant and their eyes slowly became a little wrong.

The merchant had expected this to happen, and lifted the curtain beside the carriage, revealing a longsword with a cold light tied underneath.

Seeing this, the old man frowned, turned around and scolded: "Nonsense!"

A few people in the crowd shrank their heads and looked away.

The old man looked at the merchant and asked, "Tell me, how much does it cost!"

The merchant smiled slightly, put down the curtain in his hand, "Chenghui, five gold coins!"

The old man's eyes widened, this is too cheap!()
