"How to trade this thing?"

Now that he was sure the goods were good, Nanlou, who was not short of money, asked about the price.

"Haha, it's not expensive. A toothbrush costs ten cents. There are three grades of toothpaste. The lowest box is fifty cents, the highest one is two hundred cents. A box of soap is three hundred cents. Unscented soap is called soap. The cheap one.

A box costs fifty coins, and the more expensive one is a hundred coins. You can trade horses, cattle and sheep, and the price can be determined by the market price in Ji County."

Ma Qiang closed his eyes and quoted a price. This price basically positioned these goods as luxury goods.

Ma Qiang had already known the prices in the market before. Millet cost only two hundred cents per stone, pork was more than ten cents per catty, and the most expensive sheep was only six hundred cents.

And Ma Qiang shouted the price, a box of toothpaste cost two hundred yuan, which means that one stone of millet at Ma Qiang's place is just a box of toothpaste, and one stone of millet can already feed a young man for twenty days.

Think about the cost of this soap... All the people in Dasong Village seemed to see a tail wagging around Ma Qiang's butt.

Profiteer!

"Oh? It's not expensive. I'll give you five war horses at a discount of 200,000 yuan. You can help me match the goods."

Damn it, miscalculation!

Two hundred thousand dollars can almost replace all of Ma Qiang's goods.

This is really... I met a big dog owner.

Ma Qiang felt the corner of his mouth twitching. In this day and age, could he say that what he just said was actually US dollars? I asked online. It was quite urgent.

How could I forget that these Wuhuan nobles have nothing but many horses, especially people like Nanlou, who can easily bring out thousands of war horses. Ma Qiang does want war horses, but war horses

This thing is of no use to Ma Qiang now.

Even horses have advantages and disadvantages.

The worst ones are inferior horses, also called farm horses or carriage horses. Such horses generally only have two requirements: to be alive and able to walk, and to be used for farming or for people with small assets to pull goods for themselves. In places like Youzhou, such horses

A horse can be bought for five thousand dollars.

Then there are the yong horses, which are ordinary horses. Such horses are not expensive and can be bought for ten thousand yuan. They are generally used to pull carriages or ride for small nobles. These are the horses used by ordinary herdsmen in Wuhuan for their own use.

Then comes the war horses. War horses are carefully selected horses, at least one out of ten. The horses selected are all horses with good explosive power and endurance. They are also smart and clever, not afraid of noise, and can charge or gallop long distances. This is

Stallions are generally used by sergeants. The price is as low as 20,000 yuan, and the expensive ones can reach 100,000 yuan.

Next comes the good horse. A good horse must be selected from a hundred or even a thousand. It is usually the king of a pony group, and the horse it rides is either a warrior or a big noble. The price can reach two to three hundred thousand yuan.

The top one is the Thousand Mile Horse, also known as the Pegasus or the Famous Horse. For example, the later Red Rabbit, Yellow Claw Flying Lightning, and Lu are all of this level. This kind of horse is completely rare, and it is hard to exchange for a piece of gold.

.

Like Lin Huan's big black horse, it was originally a war horse, but it has become old over the years, and now it can only be said to be a mediocre horse.

Now Nanlou has taken out five war horses. Since they are the horses used by Nanlou's guards, they cannot be inferior among the war horses. Five horses are discounted at 200,000 yuan, which can be said to be the price of conscience and friendship.

But Ma Qiang doesn't want horses now, what he wants more is cash or sales.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just around the corner, the real chaos in the world will not happen until Liu Hong becomes the Ling Emperor, which will take another six years, so there is really no rush.

Ma Qiang thought for a while, first grabbed Lu An, winked at Lu An and then said to Nanlou, "We are destined to meet each other. Although we live in the mountains, we also know the reputation of Lord Nanlou. We can deliver goods worth only 200,000 yuan."

What's the harm to Mr. Yu Nanlou?"

"Brother Ma!"

"No!"

The few people at the back were going crazy. Two hundred thousand dollars, they couldn't accumulate so much money even in a busy year in Dasong Village.

Two hundred thousand dollars can be exchanged for one thousand shi of food, which is enough for Songcun to survive for a year.

"Shut up! Listen to your brother Ma!" Lu An turned around and glared at everyone, then nodded to Ma Qiang.

Nan Lou glanced at Yan Rou, who smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ma Lang to value justice so much. It's just that we just met by chance. This two hundred thousand money is probably not a small amount for you... I wonder if Ma Lang is okay?"

Do you want my help?"

Ma Qiang smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Brother Yan Rou is indeed very resourceful. My master also taught me a saying, there is no free lunch in the world. Although the two hundred thousand yuan is not much, it is not a lot for me."

Xiao, the reason why I am willing to send 200,000 yuan of goods to you for free is not for other reasons, but because I hope that you can become my dealer."

"Dealer?" Nanlou was a little confused when he heard this term for the first time, but he also vaguely understood that it was a term for a merchant.

"Yes, adults have also tried it. You should know that no matter toothbrush, toothpaste or soap, once you try it, it is a good thing that the grassland people who eat meat every day cannot give up.

But I am afraid that I don’t have the strength to safely transport the goods to various places on the grassland, so I hope that you will help me transport and sell the goods. How about sharing the profits 50-50 with us?"

Nanlou narrowed his eyes slightly, trembled his fingers slightly, and began to evaluate.

Yan Rou's brain was indeed much better than that of Nan Lou. He whispered something to Nan Lou, who nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, you can do some calculations. We can provide you with goods worth tens of millions of dollars a year, charging only 80% of the price. You can buy the rest at the original price for your own use, or sell it at a higher price, as long as the sales price is not less than

Our selling price is just right, so we can make more than tens of millions of profits a year, and it can also give tribal herders an extra way to make money.

And you don’t need to pay real money, you can use the wool to offset the price.”

"Wool? Do you want cashmere?"

“Cashmere is naturally the best, but other ordinary wools will also work.”

"Ordinary wool can also be used?" Nanlou was interested. This wool can be said to be everywhere in Wuhuan. Except for down, the Han people did not collect other wool at all, so it was not valuable.

The use of wool in the textile industry has been a long time ago in Chinese civilization. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are records of wool being woven into thread and then made into felt cloth. However, because wool contains a large amount of grease, the use of alkali was discovered.

Before sexual water can remove these greases, you can only wash them with clean water and rub them with loess. These methods are extremely laborious. Therefore, trying to turn ordinary wool into a spinning level is basically a thankless task at this period. It is better to go

Collect down for weaving.

Therefore, the wool products of this period were either rough felt cloth, which could only be used as tents or hats, or extremely fine carpets. If they were just for making tents or hats, then the linen or silk from the Central Plains would have to be more expensive.
