I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 174
Without being polite to him, he grabbed his arm and said, “I heard that you brought more than ten trucks of goods here, quickly take me to have a look.”
Ma Siyong was stunned and immediately returned to his senses. He thought he would wait for a while, but he did not expect that someone would come to ask about the goods so soon.
Ma Jinyu and others couldn’t believe it, he was asking about the goods they brought in?
Ma Siyong also guessed the intention of the person who came, and quickly replied with a smile: “It’s not far, it’s over there, please come with me, sir.” After he finished speaking, he led Xu Wenyi and the others towards the direction of the convoy.
The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and after they woke up, they quickly followed behind to see what happened.
Who is this person? He came to ask what the more than ten carts of goods brought by the Ma family were for? Is it possible that this batch of goods from the Ma family can really be sold like this? how is this possible? I have never seen such a deal before.
Everyone was talking and couldn’t guess what was going on. However, what is going on in the end can be known by looking at the situation in the past.
“This time, there are rice grains, mainly cloth, and some things like salt and tea, which are basically what people can use.” Ma Siyong introduced on the side.
Although I don’t know what official position this Lord Xu is, since he has come to ask about these goods, it is also related to his duties.
Someone has already started to check the goods on the car, and the entourage used a grain spy to insert some rice grain from the cloth bag. The workshop owners took it and looked at it carefully, and some even squeezed a few grains with their hands and put them in their mouths to chew. They look at the color of the grain, the fullness of the grain, and the taste to distinguish whether it is old rice, new rice, superior or inferior.
Many people nodded secretly, obviously this batch of food is still very satisfactory.
Xu Wen also looked at them one by one, and nodded with a smile, “These are all good, Master Ma has a heart.”
Ma Siyong said with a smile: “It’s also a suggestion from the lord, otherwise, it’s impossible for the young to take this trip.”
“Haha, since the lord reminded you, it’s impossible to think wrong.” Xu Wen clapped his hands, pointed to the person he brought over and said, “It’s just that this amount of goods is a drop in the bucket, look, these people all need it. With a lot of supplies, the dozen or so vehicles of the Ma family are not enough for their family.”
These workshop owners have hired a lot of Liangzhou people to work, and they have to distribute money and food on time every month. Because of the lack of materials in Liangzhou, there are almost no foreign merchants to sell goods, and even if the people have money, it is difficult to buy things that are good for each other.
Therefore, Duanwang specially made a regulation that the monthly settlement of the workshop owner’s salary is a combination of money and materials. Before, they tried their best to gather supplies, but now Liangzhou has run out of supplies, and these things brought by the Ma family are what they urgently need.
What Xu Wen said was no exaggeration at all, these dozen vehicles were really not enough.
“Sir, what do you mean?” Ma Siyong asked cautiously, not knowing if it was what he thought, “All these dozen trucks of goods…”
Xu Wen nodded without detouring, and said with certainty, “As long as the price is right, all of these dozen cars are available!”
Ma Siyong’s eyes widened, and the others were dumbfounded.
“Sir, are you serious?” Ma Siyong was used to seeing big scenes, but he didn’t expect that all the goods were sold out in one breath.
He listened to Duan Wang’s words and brought a batch of goods over. One was to give Duan Wang a face, and the other was to try the water.
Their Ma family started out as a caravan. From a small caravan of a dozen people to a large caravan of hundreds of people, it took several generations of Ma family efforts to make it what it is today. Although it is incomparable with Duanwang’s caravan, the Ma family caravan is very famous in Dayan Kingdom.
Even so, Ma Siyong never thought of selling all the goods in one go. When he came to Liangzhou this time, he was conservative and did exactly what King Duan said. After all, he didn’t know the situation in Liangzhou, so it was already a risk. He thought that it would be good if the goods could be sold in several batches, but now Xu Wen’s words have completely stunned him.
“Of course it’s true.” Xu Wen nodded affirmatively. He was in a good mood today, and said jokingly, “What? Patriarch Ma has traveled thousands of miles to deliver goods, isn’t it to sell to make money?”
Ma Siyong was ashamed, “Of course not, the villain is just thinking about so many goods, I’m afraid it will be difficult for a family to win.”
Xu Wen laughed loudly: “Patriarch Ma is underestimating people. Not to mention that you are so little, you can easily win it ten times and a hundred times more.”
Ma Siyong replied repeatedly that they were all buyers and sellers, so of course the price had to be negotiated. But since this step has been talked about, there is nothing wrong. For the rest of the price, as long as both parties are sincere, there will be no hindrance to it.
As soon as the voice over here fell, the dozen or so workshop owners over there were already arguing.
“We have a lot of workers there, and this material is simply not enough.”
“Boss Yu, don’t mix it up, we can eat it all.”
“Second Fan, let’s go, it’s your turn to talk here. Don’t grab any of these things, I want them all.”
“Why give it all to you? The surname is Li. You took a lot of advantage from the prince last time. Now it’s not your turn.”
The quarrel of the crowd attracted the attention of this side, and Xu Wen was ashamed. He shouldn’t have brought them here.
He drank, “What is it like arguing about this outside? Is there anything you can’t go back and close the door?”
More than a dozen people look at me, I look at you, and stop talking. Li Quan was not convinced, “Wait back, I’m afraid I won’t see you at all.”
Xu Wen frowned, and made a final decision, “Okay, buy them all, and distribute them after going back.”
Mr. Fan hesitated, and when he saw Xu Wen looking over, he said: “Master Xu, there is not enough for one family, and if we divide it, there is not a single point left. This month, the people in our workshop can count on this. release.”
Xu Wen waved his hand to signal him to stop talking. He turned his head and said to Ma Siyong: “Master Ma, you have seen it too, let’s settle the price as soon as possible. We still have a lot of such materials here. If we can, of course, the more the better. The official can put his words down here, no matter how much you transport, we can take them all down.”
Ma Siyong nodded, “Don’t worry, adults, the little ones will let them go back as soon as possible and bring more goods over.”
“That’s good!” Xu Wen said with a smile: “We also have a lot of specialties in Liangzhou, like watermelons, which are now mature. There are also various valuable novelties made by workshops, you guys Caravans can also transport goods back to the Central Plains to sell, so the money earned from back-and-forth selling goods is a lot of money!”
Xu Wen’s words were right in the heart of Ma Siyong. When he was in the capital, he had heard of Liangzhou’s new specialty watermelon. It was very popular in the capital. He originally came for it, but as for the novelty mentioned by Xu Wen, he did not expect too much. In a place like Liangcheng, can there be any novelty that can compare to those quirky things in the Central Plains?
Ma Jinyu was so shocked that he finally came back to his senses, laughing so hard that he couldn’t see his teeth, haha! Who said that the goods brought by their Ma family would rot in their hands if they couldn’t be sold? Not only did they sell their goods, they sold them all in one go.
The onlookers were stunned to see this series of changes, and their mood was extremely complicated. What’s this called, why did it suddenly become like this, shouldn’t the Ma family’s goods not be sold? How come one person came, brought a group of people and said it was okay? It can also let the Ma family do watermelon trading. This transaction is not a loss at all, and it is still a steady profit.
Someone couldn’t hold it any longer, and leaned over to ask: “Sir, I don’t know how many watermelons are there. The villain is willing to buy them at a high price.”
Xu Wen shook his head, “It depends on whether the Ma family is willing to give up their love, because this year’s watermelon king only let a few villages try to plant, so the output is not too much. Since the Ma family has worked hard to transport the goods to Liangzhou, we can’t let it go. The Ma family’s hard work was in vain. So these things are given priority to the Ma family to buy first. If the Ma family can’t buy all the rest, maybe you can have a chance. “
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that there was no hope. The Ma family was wealthy, and the watermelon was a treasure that had never appeared before. Even the emperor said it was good to eat, but it was difficult for the dignitaries in Beijing to taste it. If the Ma family transported the watermelon back to the capital to sell, I am afraid that no matter how expensive it is, some people will rush to buy it. How could the Ma family let go of such an opportunity?
Everyone regretted it, beating their chests and regretting the beginning. If I had listened to King Duan, learned from the Ma family, and shipped some rice grains to sell, I would have received the same treatment as the Ma family. Why didn’t you get the hang of it at the time? But what’s the use of regretting it now? Just to see if I can find it elsewhere.
Someone asked reluctantly, “Isn’t it okay to give more money?”
Xu Wen smiled and said, “Everyone should know more about Liangzhou, and know that what Liangzhou lacks most is all kinds of materials, and it’s really not something that can be done with money. I can’t help you this time, but I want preferential treatment. Quan, you can also come to Liangzhou to do business! We in Liangzhou welcome everyone to come.”
