The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 18: Yangzhou Salt Merchants
"I don't know how much this adult is bidding." Teng Yunlong looked at the black fox fur chief with a smile.
The chief chuckled: "The materials are completely responsible for you, the price, take an integer, one hundred and two silver and one silver knife! Believe, you are all right."
"One hundred and two?" Teng Yunlong frowned. Although one hundred and two silver was a large amount, but the Bihan knife ... is a unique skill of Teng Jia Village, the materials are also extremely expensive, and the refining is extremely difficult to sell outside At least one hundred or two, or even more. If you sell only one or two silver, you will earn too little.
"Sir, are you a little less?" Teng Yongfan said.
Then chief sneered: "Okay, don't treat us as stupid! If we have a high bid, we don't need to run to you in person! One hundred and two silver, do you answer?"
"Go!"
Teng Yunlong squeezed out a smile, Feng Ying said, "This adult, but 182 handles of Bihan knife, we Teng Jia Village have never received such a big business. The material stored in the village is also enough to make two handles. Han Dao. This material needs to spend a lot of silver ... Does the adult give us silver first? "
"The silver will give you before the things arrive?" Heihu Qiu chief chuckled.
Teng Qingshan silently watching all this, startled: "Does this chief not want to give money? One hundred and twenty silver, a big business worth nearly 22 thousand silver. Zhuangli just took out all I ’m afraid I can barely raise it. This chief, do you want to use it? ”Teng Qingshan is ready to prevent the worst situation.
"This adult laughed, we Teng Jia Village an ordinary villa, how much money can we have? We can't even raise the money to buy materials, how to make weapons for adults?" Teng Yunlong laughed, "Please understand Our difficulties. "
The face of chief is darkened.
Teng Yongfan next laughed and said, "This adult, people of your status, are you still worried that our ordinary villas are greedy for your silver? We Teng Jia Village ancestors are here, it is impossible to escape. Adults will pay silver first Give us, at that time, we will offer the Bihan Sword. "
Heihu Qiu chief hesitated for a moment, then sneered: "You poor village, I am afraid it is difficult to raise this money."
Speaking, he took a stack of silver notes out of his arms and threw it on the table.
"This is eight thousand two silver notes, with the big seal of Yangzhou Bank on it. Please check carefully." Heihu Qiu chief said.
Yangzhou Bank?
Teng Qingshan take a closer look, this is the first time I saw silver notes.
silver notes has the big print of the characters' Yang's Salt ', and there are also complex numbers such as' 一 贰 三' ', and at the bottom there is a line of words' Nine Prefecture's Eight Supreme Sects decree, forge silver notes, kill without amnesty' .
Teng Qingshan was shocked at the bottom of his heart: "Nine Prefecture's Eight Supreme Sects? There are eight of the most powerful sects in Nine Prefectures?"
"silver notes? This ..." Teng Yunlong frowned. "Sir, you have to pay for this money exchange. And ... This business, nearly 22,000 silver, is not enough money. . We are a small village, I am afraid ... "Teng Yunlong hesitated.
Then chief "huh" stood up, his face was somber.
"Hmm, eight thousand and two silver notes, there is no one more coin! We set down a note, when you go to Yi City delivery, we pay the final payment." chief said indifferently, two people behind this chief, Also attached to the long knife handle of the waist, many cavalry outside the courtyard stared at the courtyard with a stare.
Teng Qingshan took a deep breath and was always ready to shoot.
Teng Yunlong and Teng Yongfan look at each other.
"Since the adults have said so, we will write a note." Teng Yunlong laughed.
"That's right." Then chief smiled.
The two parties signed the bill immediately, and issued a note, which details the delivery place, time, and payment.
"Well, let's send this to Yi City Yangzhou's Chamber of Commerce?" Teng Yunlong was surprised, "Sir, everyone is Yangzhou's Chamber of Commerce."
"It ’s good if you know, do n’t play with us, and each handle of the Bihan knife will be checked at that time. If there is a quality problem, hum ..." Then chief said, take With a copy of the paper, and without talking nonsense, he strode out of the hospital directly.
"Brothers, go!"
With an order, the cavalry roared and roared away.
"Daddy, what's going on with Yangzhou Bank?" Teng Qingshan looked at silver notes in doubt.
Teng Yongfan explained with a smile: "Qingshan, Nine Prefectures in this world, the richest are Yangzhou Salt Merchants and Yuzhou Trade Conglomerate. After all, Yang Prefecture and Yuzhou are the two most prosperous of Nine Prefectures. So, in this world, the real There are two trusted bankers, one is 'Yangzhou Bank' and the other is 'Yuzhou Bank'. Only these two silver notess can pass through the world without any obstacles. Of course, our people generally do not accept silver notes. "
"Why?" Teng Qingshan was puzzled.
silver notes, isn't it easy to store?
"This silver notes is actually the" foreign exchange evidence "obtained by storing gold and silver in the bank and silver account. These silver notes have special numbers and special craftsmanship. Prevent counterfeiting. Since the bank helps you save money, Of course, a certain amount of money must be collected. So, this looks like eight thousand two hundred silver notes, but I go to get it, but by then, I ca n’t get that much. "
Teng Qingshan understands.
In modern society, there is interest in saving money, but in ancient times, saving money had to pay.
It can also be understood that in ancient society, merchants did business, and large amounts of gold and silver were bothersome to carry. silver notes was easy to carry, and also better hidden and safer.
"Is no one silver notes cheating?" Teng Qingshan asked in return.
The grandfather Teng Yunlong next to him laughed: "Haha, who dares? You didn't read the following sentence ... Nine Prefecture's Eight Supreme Sects order, forgery of silver notes, killing without pardon."
"What is Eight Supreme Sects?" Teng Qingshan asked.
Teng Yongfan explained: "Qingshan, I told you in the past that in my Yang Prefecture, the most powerful denomination is 'Qing Hu Island', and in other eight states, there is also Supreme Sect. In this world, there are eight strongest forces , Known as Eight Supreme Sects. Their common order, if anyone violates, there will be nowhere to escape in this world! "
Nine Prefectures, but there are only eight.
It seems that one state does not have Supreme Sect, or one Supreme Sect, which controls the land of the two states.
"This Eight Supreme Sects is simply Eight Supreme Lords!" Teng Qingshan secretly said.
Denominations are the most powerful force in the world, each with a powerful army. Notice that even Gui Yuan Sect has 6,000 Black Armored Army!
What about the eight major Supreme Sects?
"Yangzhou Salt Merchants, there are countless wealth, and there are many masters. They are not afraid that we are greedy for this money." Teng Yunlong smirked, then turned to look at Teng Yongfan, and commanded, "Yong Fan, tonight, you go quietly That Wang Laosan ordered! Let him tell them the boss, the materials we want to buy. Let them boss, quickly send the materials over. "
"Relax." Teng Yongfan nodded.
"The most troublesome time is now!" Teng Yongfan frowned. "Master, there is still more than a month to make 182 handles of bihan knives, it is really difficult. And other brothers, the craft of bihan knives I do n’t know at all, no one else in this family can help. "
"It's okay. As soon as the materials arrive, I will make it with you." Teng Yunlong said.
"Master ..." Teng Yongfan was shocked.
"Why, do you think I'm old?" Teng Yunlong laughed.
Teng Yunlong is now over sixty years old, physical strength and energy are down, and the refined bihan sword is very high for arm strength, skills and other requirements.
"Don't worry, I'll help out, 182 handles of Bihan, at that time, most of them will still be made by you." Teng Yunlong said.
"Yes." Teng Yongfan then turned to look at Qingshan, "Qingshan, I have one thing for you to do. Tomorrow, you will lead your hunter team and enter the mountain again. Go to 'Jade Frost Pool' to get water. "
"Where is Jade Frost Pool?" Teng Qingshan wondered.
However, Bihan Dao, Jade Frost Pool, and Teng Qingshan also guessed, I am afraid there is some connection.
"Don't worry, Qinghu knows all their old members. You tell them that they will take you there. The hardening agent used in this refining Bihan knife must be Jade Frost Pool water. You bring two water tanks In the past, it was full. "Teng Yongfan said with emotion, Teng Qingshan knew nothing about the mixer, but nodded:" Relax, Dad. "
******
This business has a great impact on the clan.
After all, the value is nearly 220,000 silver, Teng Jia Village dare not relax at all. In the early morning of the next day, Teng Qingshan took the hunter team into the mountain.
"Qingshan, our Teng Jia Village tribe, can eat well and wear well. It is the Bihan knife." In Great Yan Mountain, Teng Qinghu explained with a smile, "And this Bihan knife refining, one is Outsiders do n’t know the refining skills. The second is the water of Jade Frost Pool. Qingshan, you do n’t know ... the water of Jade Frost Pool is called cold. "
Teng Qingshan is a bit surprised.
"It's summer, the water is cold, much colder than the snow and ice in winter, but the strange thing is that it doesn't freeze!" Some people next to him said, "The water is quenched with this water, and the weapon made is sharp , Tough. "
"If you reach into the cold pool, your hand will numb."
"Last time a pheasant was chased by me, and once I fell into it, it froze to death. I couldn't climb at all."
People around you say me sentence by sentence, obviously you have seen the magic of Jade Frost Pool.
"So amazing?" Teng Qingshan was surprised.
