Du Biao didn't speak, Liu Zheng didn't speak either, let alone Zheng Yueru. With Liu Zheng around, she rarely interfered in business matters.
Finally, Du Biao couldn't help it anymore and laughed loudly: "Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense! No matter how much refined salt your Silver Beach produces, I, the Baiya Army, want it all!"
Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows, but remained calm and smiled.
Du Biao secretly scolded the little fox, but his face remained enthusiastic and he laughed and said: "One hundred liters of refined salt, the Baiya Army can give you one tael of silver!"
Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
One tael of silver? This price is not low! You must know that in ancient times, salt and iron were state-controlled commodities, and even national strategic materials! In the Longyan Dynasty, salt was supplied in limited quantities every month.
The amount of salt for a month is less than half of five liters for a husband, three liters for a woman and less than half of two liters for a baby.
The "liter" here is of course not the 1000 milliliters of later generations. In ancient times, ten plus liters equaled one liter, and one liter was about two hundred milliliters. So the hundred liters mentioned by Du Biao was actually twenty-five kilograms. In the Tang Dynasty
In its heyday, the same amount of salt could be exchanged for a hundred times as much food! You can imagine how precious salt was in ancient times. Someone has roughly calculated that in ancient times, the price of a pound of salt was equivalent to
Thirty dollars for future generations!
And one tael of silver is six hundred yuan in later generations.
So, twenty-five pounds should actually be seven hundred and fifty taels!
but......
This is the selling price!
But at this time, Du Biao gave the purchase price! This two taels of silver was already a very high price. After all, Liu Zheng did not need to consider all the subsequent costs.
Liu Zheng was about to speak.
Who would have thought that Du Biao laughed again: "Also, brother Liu, I, the Baiya Army, can also be responsible for bringing back this refined salt!"
"ah?"
Now, Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru were even more surprised. This was an additional transportation cost. In business, Du Biao must have his own demands when considering this.
Liu Zheng looked confused.
Sure enough, Du Biao took a big sip of wine and then said carelessly: "Brother Liu, to be honest, there has been a lot of friction between the Baiya Army and the Huns recently... The Huns cavalry is no better than our Liangzhou cavalry.
Weak... I heard from Miss Zheng that Brother Liu has a unit and weapon that can restrain cavalry, so... of course, our Baiya Army will not be stingy with our horses...
..”
boom!
Du Biao's words made Liu Zheng stand up suddenly with excitement on his face.
This shocked both Du Biao and Zheng Yueru, and they didn't understand why.
Liu Zheng shouted: "Hahaha, I understand, I understand!"
He hurriedly told Zheng Yueru that everything was fine and left it to Zheng Yueru and Du Biao to discuss. He wanted to go back to the city.
Why establish the world?
How to establish the world!
He finally thought of it!
He thought hard, but what he didn't know was suddenly revealed by Du Biao!
How did Yinzhou establish itself?
This sounds like a big question, but in reality? It’s very simple. How to gain a firm foothold in this upcoming troubled world and rely on your own advantages!
Therefore, this advantage is not about policies, nor about vague issues such as governing the country and loving the people.
He needs something that he can really rely on to establish the world, at least, something that can not be interfered by other people in troubled times!
So, why can’t we refer to the White Cliff Army? People call the White Cliff Army the bandit army! But how did the White Cliff Army develop and grow? War horses! The White Cliff Army produces the strongest war horses in the entire Longyan Dynasty.
Base, the strongest racecourse!
That's enough!
Who among the people in the world doesn’t want to protect the Baiya Army, who doesn’t want to do business with the Baiya Army? Who doesn’t want to buy fine war horses from him?
This is equivalent to the United States during World War II!
