C11 Dry General Sword
"High price? "What's the price?" Uncle Fu asked.
Chen Yu did not say anything, she just lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
It's impossible to sell this batch of food at the original market price. The three great grain merchants are only willing to pay half the price, and my River Commander is willing to pay two-thirds of the price.
It was a good plan, as he had only made 20% of the profit with this batch of grains, he had only paid two-thirds. He had also lost, but this was all for the sake of the Taiping Road, the Taiping Road wanted to take advantage of him, how could there be such a good thing in the world.
"Scram!" Chen Yu shouted coldly.
"What did you say?" Do you know who you're talking to? " The young Daoist couldn't help but stare.
"F * ck!" Chen Yu threw the teacup towards the Daoist, the boiling hot tea sprinkled all over his body.
"Incomprehensible!" The Daoist called out.
"F * ck, you dare to provoke our young master?! What's more, your father has beaten you to a pulp!" Dian Wei wanted to sit up, but the young Taoist was so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Young master, you've offended the Taiping Road, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell this grain in Nanyang." Uncle Fu smiled wryly as he shook his head.
"Hmph, so what if you're a moron? You want to take advantage of me? You don't even have a chance!" Chen Yu harrumphed.
"This... What should we do next? " Uncle Fu said helplessly.
"Uncle Fu, have you heard of the Southern County's Kui family?"
"I have heard that the Qu Clan is a great clan of the Southern County, and they have a good relationship with our Chen Clan. Young Master's intention is to sell the grain to the Qu Clan?" "However, the Ji Clan is in the Southern County, and we still need to sell our grain there. This will take some time."
"Hehe, I've asked around. The Kui family has their own rice business in Nanyang, and their scale is not less than the three big grain merchants. It seems that I have to go to the Kui family's rice shop."
"Young Master will leave empty-handed."
"Of course not, bring the Feather Drop Fan that my father gave me before we left."
"Young master, this Fallen Feather Fan is the master's personal item and is incomparably precious. Could it be that you want to …"
"If you want it, you have to give it to me first." Chen Yu slightly smiled, two elegant arcs appeared between her lips.
The Qu clan was one of the big clans of Jing Prefecture and was located in the middle of the Southern Prefecture. However, in Jing Prefecture, there were many businesses of the Qu clan, and Nanyang County was no exception. In Nanyang County, the prestige of the Qu clan was equal to that of the Xiangyang clan, and the two big clans held an extremely important position in Jing Prefecture. It could be said that in Nanyang County, the two big clans ruled over half of the River Rivers and Mountains of Nanyang County.
At this time, the one who was in control of the Qu family's business in Nanyang was the young and outstanding Qu Liang of the Qian family. He was a young man in his twenties, and although he was young, he was extremely capable, wise, resourceful, and had a nimble wrist; Nanyang was unrivalled in his skills, and he was also known as the Qu family's two prodigies.
At this moment, Qui Liang was sitting in the mansion in the backyard of the Mi Gang, calculating the profits from this year's auction. At this moment, a person who looked like a housekeeper walked in and whispered into his ear.
"Those from the Chen family are still that Yingchuan Fool, Chen Yu. Interesting. For the sake of the relationship between the Qu family and Chen family, let him in."
He was dressed in a full set of black robes, and his hand was protruding out from his wide sleeve, giving off a scholarly vibe. Looking at the young man in front of him, Chen Yu couldn't help but admire him in his heart, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Pi Liang was not considered a top-notch strategist in Jing Prefecture, he could still be considered a first-rate strategist. It was precisely because of his assistance that Liu Liang was able to sit steadily in Jing Prefecture.
Kui Liang was also carefully sizing up the young man in front of him. He looked to be around fourteen to fifteen years old, and his heroic bearing was extremely imposing. Was this the fool that called him Ying Chuan? Not only was this young man not a fool, he was also extremely intelligent. It seemed that the rumors were not always true.
"You must be Chen Yu."
"So you're Kui Liang?"
"That's right." The two of them spoke at the same time and then smiled. They could see the shrewdness in each other's eyes. Unconsciously, the two of them started to feel a sense of empathy towards each other.
"I didn't expect that Brother Chen Xian would be so capable at such a young age. This really makes Brother Chen have a whole new level of respect for him." Kui Liang slightly smiled and said.
"People always say that Brother Kui is wise and resourceful. It seems that he truly lives up to his reputation today." Chen Yu also nodded with a smile.
"Brother Chen Xian, why are you looking for me today?" Kui Liang asked.
"Hehe, I'm here to deliver money to my brother."
"Giving away money?"
"That's right. I've brought a lot of food, and I'm selling it at 90% of the market price. What do you think, brother Kui?"
"Haha …" Kui Liang smiled and ordered some people to look at the tea before he said, "The matters in Nanyang have yet to escape my eyes and ears. I have already known everything about Brother Chen Xian; he purposely suppressed the prices with the three great grain merchants. This time, I'm afraid it will not be easy for Brother Chen Xian."
"That's right, the Chen family and Qi family have been friends for generations. That's why I'm asking for Brother Kui's help."
"Based on the relationship between the two families, I should stay. However, if I stay, then I will offend the Taiping Road. This matter will not be easy to handle." Kui Liang said with a faint smile.
"With the influence of the Kui family in Jingzhou and Nanyang, would they still be afraid of the Taiping Road? "Brother Kui, I can give you a guarantee that as long as you accept this shipment, I can convince father to sell all the food that is sold to Nanyang to your family."
Chen Yu's low price this time was because the Taiping Dao wanted to push down the price. If he took this batch of food, he could build a relationship with the Chen Family, and he could also get more food from the Chen Family. This matter had more advantages than disadvantages.
His conscience was moved, but he remained silent.
"Brother Kui, regardless of whether this purchase and sale will be successful or not, I have made up my mind. I shall hand this Featherfall Fan over to brother Kui." After Chen Yu finished speaking, he placed a fan made from snow-white feathers in front of Kui Liang.
The Fallen Feather Fan was made with the best goose feathers from Yingchuan, and was only made into thirty of them a year. It had always been made by the royal family, and it was extremely valuable and rare among the commoners.
"Good fan, if my eyesight is not bad, this fan is considered the best amongst the Feather Falling Feather Fan." A martial artist loved a treasured sword stallion, while a scholar loved a fan. In this era where the upper class loved elegant styles, a good fan was an absolute symbol of one's status.
"Giving such a good fan to me, my little brother's gift is too heavy." Kui Liang said.
"The Chen and Qi families are old friends. Brother Kui and I are friends, so this gift is nothing." Chen Yu was indeed a friend to be made. Such a person would definitely achieve something in the future. He could only interact with others, and would definitely be of great use in the future.
"Then I'll accept it." Kui Liang accepted the fan and said, "Just do as little brother says, I'll take this batch of food. Moreover, I'll give you the market price."
"Brother Kui, you are quite righteous. I admire you." Chen Yu was delighted.
"Hehe, being able to befriend my younger brother is also fate. Don't leave at noon, drink with me."
Nanyang City had a large population and extremely tall and majestic buildings. The wide road could allow for four carriages to travel side by side. The streets of the city were made up of huge bluestone blocks. Due to the long travel time of the transportation vehicles, the hard bluestone blocks were ground to the point of being uneven, and as they walked, one could hear the clanging and clanging of blacksmiths' workshops on both sides of the street. The hot air and the thick black smoke had become the main melody of the city.
Returning from Kao Liang's place, Chen Yu looked good. The food had finally been sold, and they had even made friends with the best advisor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The next step was to buy iron from Nanyang.
After calculating it, Chen Yu could get one hundred and thirty gold coins from selling the grains and use them all to make iron grade equipment. After calculating it, Chen Yu could get one hundred and thirty gold coins from selling the grains and use them all to buy iron grade equipment.
Chen Yu brought Guan Wei and Uncle Fu to three blacksmith shops. When they heard that there was such a big business deal, they all competed with each other for the price. However, Chen Yu was not satisfied and decided to go to another blacksmith shop.
Uncle Fu was very experienced in bargaining. After several rounds of bargaining, he finally managed to get the price to 800 spears and 200 long swords.
"I can give you this deal, but you have to give me something." Chen Yu said.
"Customer, what do you like in my shop? Just take it." The owner of the blacksmith's shop said.
Chen Yu walked around the blacksmith shop as he frowned. Finally, he stopped in front of a long sword.
It was a rust-spotted sword, but it was placed in an extremely inconspicuous position in the smithy. Compared to the other dazzling swords, it was extremely inconspicuous, but it gave off a very solid feeling. Chen Yu carefully examined the rusted hilt, and two blurry words appeared in front of his eyes.
"This one." Chen Yu said.
"Are you sure you want this sword?" the owner of the smithy asked.
"Yes, that's it."
"This sword is sharp, but its quality is not good. It was dug out from the ground by a farmer. I took it for ten taels of silver. Since this customer wants it, I'll give it to you." The owner of the blacksmith handed the sword to Chen Yu.
Walking out of the smithy, Dian Wei asked, "Young Master, why did you choose this rusted sword?"
"Hehe, this is a treasure." Chen Yu chuckled.
"Treasures?"
"I've studied weapons before. Take a closer look at the words on the sword hilt. Are they the words' capable general '?"
"Yes, he's an experienced general." Dian Wei nodded.
"This is it. This sword is named General Qian. It was created by the Sword Crafting Master during the Warring States Era, Ou Yezi. This sword is a peerless treasured sword. I've picked it up this time."
"Actually, the moment I entered the room, I saw this sword, and I felt that it was a little different. Later on, when I touched the words on the sword hilt, I knew that this sword was a General Chef sword, and in order to not make the boss suspicious, I intentionally added something, so that I could get this treasured sword. If this sword went on the market, even a gold coin wouldn't be able to buy it."
"High, it really is high. Young master, I finally admire you." Dian Wei sighed and said.
"I didn't expect Young Master to be so smart. This old man is ashamed." Uncle Fu was also filled with emotion.
"Alright, we'll need ten days to make this batch. We'll wait for ten days. After ten days, we'll go to Danyang. Once we get there, we'll be able to make a huge profit."
Everything went smoothly. On the tenth day, eight hundred spears and a hundred long swords were placed in front of Chen Yu. Time was of the essence. Chen Yu did not waste any time. She kept her weapons and immediately drove to Danyang.
