The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 495 480 Seven: Sell Cordyceps, Six People Divide Money

It was just dawn the next day, and Duan Wuji didn't go out for a long-distance run. The family hurriedly ate breakfast and got into the two carriages at home. Duan Yanqing and Duan Changsheng each drove one. With the sword, hung up the bow and arrow, followed the two carriages, and ran straight to the fork in Duanjiaji.

When I arrived at the fork in the road, I saw that Tie Niu, father and son and the third grandfather's family were already waiting by the side of the road at the fork in the road.

Tie Niu's father was driving a carriage, and Tie Niu was also riding a horse. The horse's bird's wing ring was hung with a mixed iron stick, and a bow and arrow was hung on his waist!
Duan Changqing and his three brothers are dressed like Tie Niu, and they are also riding a horse, and they are all carrying all the guys!
Duan Yingchun led his two sons to come with three carriages!

Duan Wuji nodded in satisfaction when he saw it, and then said with a smile: "Now that we are all here, let's go quickly."

Six carriages and five horses went straight to Taiyuan City and got down.

It's tens of miles away, so it's there when you talk about it!Several people just drove the carriage to the gate of Chai Shao's house.

The soldiers guarding the gate had already seen it, before Duan Wuji and the others stepped up the steps, a gatekeeper had already gone in to report.

Before long, Chai Shao hurried out from inside.

Chai Shao ordered to open a corner door next to it, and let a few carts go in!
Duan Wuji and the others also led the horses in, and they found a few small trees to tie the horses!

Chai Shao led a dozen servants to entertain him in a hurry!

When all the arrangements were settled, Chai Shao said with a smile: "The person who bought the caterpillar fungus hasn't come yet!

Come on, follow me to the reception room for a cup of tea!

Let's wait for them! "

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, they had no choice but to follow Chai Shao out of the reception room.

The reception room of the Chai family was spacious and bright, with more than a dozen chairs in it, and everyone found a chair and sat down without talking about the distance.

The servants at home brought the tea in a short time. While drinking tea, they waited quietly for the person who bought the caterpillar fungus to arrive!

After about two cups of tea, a doorman ran in and told, "Master, those people who bought the caterpillar fungus have come over and are waiting at the gate now!"

Chai Shao stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Let's go, since the people who buy Cordyceps are here, let's all go out and have a look!"

Everyone stood up and followed Chai Shao straight to the gate.

When I came to the gate, I saw that there were many people standing outside the gate of Chai Mansion.

Dozens of carriages were parked in front of the gate, and the entire Chai Mansion was suddenly bustling with people. The scene was too lively.

Chai Shao saw it and said with a smile: "Guys, please come inside, open the corner door, as the yard is relatively small, so many carriages may not be able to occupy it!

Ladies and gentlemen, follow me in and see the goods first, and then let's trade one by one! "

When these people heard it, they knew that it was not realistic to drive a carriage in, so they had to follow Chai Shao and the others to swarm in through the corner gate.

Chai Shao ordered the servants in his family to bring out the caterpillar fungus and spread a white cloth sheet on the ground.

I opened the bags of these caterpillar fungus one by one, and poured all the caterpillar fungus on top.

Chai Shao said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a closer look! Our goods are all recently brought back from Tufan Kingdom! The goods are in stock, and they will be sold out!"

These bosses are all very shrewd businessmen!

Everyone knows the market price of Cordyceps!

Everyone knows that the supply of Cordyceps is very tight now, since the price has been agreed before, it is better to trade earlier than later!

If you trade early, you can get something good, but if you trade late, you can't say it.

Everyone looked and looked around the pile of Cordyceps, and saw that the size of these Cordyceps were about the same size, and they could be regarded as the top grade among the Cordyceps, and everyone couldn't find any faults.

Afterwards, the transaction began, more than twenty servants from the Chai family came over, and the accountant of the Chai family came over with an abacus.

Chai Shao stared at the servants of several families as they weighed and collected gold and silver!

The transactions are carried out orderly one by one. These bosses, some of them cost hundreds of catties, and some of them cost seven or eight catties. The quantity of purchases varies!

As the transaction progressed, there were more and more gold and silver in the yard!

Duan Wuji and the others looked at more and more gold and silver, everyone's faces were filled with happiness!

Everyone's face was flushed red, everyone was so excited.Trading starts in the morning and continues until the sun is westward.

In the end, there were dozens of catties of Cordyceps that no one wanted.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "It's better if no one wants it, let's share it with others later, let's go home and soak the wormwood!"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "It can't be sold, so what can I do? It seems that's the only way to go."

After Chai Shao and the others roughly divided the remaining Cordyceps, everyone packed them up.

Chai Shao looked at the gold and silver on the ground and said excitedly: "Everyone, count them together and see how much gold we sold? How much silver did we sell?

Let's have a good score in a while! "

When these people heard this, they immediately started to count the gold. These gold were all the big gold bricks, and they were sold for a total of 140 yuan. Isn't this number difficult to count!
Then everyone began to count the silver, which piled up like a mountain, the amount is very huge!

Although they are all the large pieces of silver of the ten taels, it is very laborious to count them!

In the end, everyone finally counted the money, and the total amount of money was 45 taels!

Seeing such a large amount of gold and silver, several people were so excited!
Chai Shao looked at the mountains of gold and silver and said: "It is said that people die for wealth, and birds die for food. There are so many golden and white things that make people feel excited!

Everyone, please don't laugh at me!Although I, Chai Shao, can be called a person who has seen the world, I have never seen so much gold and silver!

I'm not afraid that you will underestimate me if I say it, it's the first time I've seen so much gold and silver! "

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, don't be confused, let's divide the gold and silver quickly, otherwise, it will be dark in a while."

Chai Shao listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine!"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Brother Chai, why don't you hurry up and find us dozens of large carts. If we only have these few large carts to transport gold and silver home, how long will it take?"

After hearing this, Chai Shao smiled wryly and said: "There are not many large carts in my house, there are only six or seven carriages in total, but these few carts are not enough!"

Duan Wuji gave him a punch with a smile.

"I said Brother Chai, won't you send a message to the left-behind envoy!

What's wrong with borrowing dozens of carriages from him!This is your father-in-law Lao Taishan!Could it be that the two of us have to borrow it in person? "

Chai Shao slapped his head.

"Hey! Look at my brain, if you remind me, I really forgot about this, okay! I'll send someone to borrow it right away.

Chaihuo, go to the residence of the left-behind envoy immediately, and tell me that I want to borrow forty carts and ask my father-in-law, Lao Taishan, to send them to me immediately, I need it urgently! "

After hearing this, Chai Huo immediately rode a fast horse to borrow a carriage.

Chai Shao looked at the brothers and said with a smile: "Several virtuous brothers, brother, I would like to make a small request to you. You can just share all the gold with me. I live in Fucheng, and I have to take care of it. There are so many, it is very inconvenient to get money.

Unlike you living in the country, this gold is of no great use!

Ordinarily, a little money will solve the problem.

Under normal circumstances, getting a few strings of copper coins can also solve the problem! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Let's do it! Brother Chai, what you said is true, we just need ten gold bricks for each of our three families, and the rest of the gold bricks belong to you!

The few of us can’t do without gold bricks, and if there are too many, it’s really useless!How about this! "

"Okay! Then let's do it like this! Thank you brothers for making it happen!"

Then, the brothers started to divide the gold and silver.

These gold bricks are 140 pieces, and each piece of gold brick is one catty, which is exactly 16 taels. If one tael of gold is exchanged for 100 taels of silver, this gold brick is equivalent to 600 taels of silver!

These 140 five gold bricks can be synthesized into 23 taels of silver!

Including the 45 taels of silver sold, the Cordyceps sold a total of 2000 taels of silver this time!

According to the three major shares, each share is divided into 22 taels of silver!

Chai Shao asked for 110 five gold bricks, a total of 18 taels of silver!

Several people counted out another 4000 taels of silver for him, which was enough for Chai Shao.

Looking at the gold and silver he got, Chai Shao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear!

Chai Shao commanded the servants in the family to move all the gold and silver that he had allocated to his family's treasury.

The rest of the money will be divided into two shares.

Duan Wuji's family asked for ten gold bricks, and the synthetic silver was 6000 taels, and Duan Wuji's family divided another 22 taels of silver. The two major shares were completely separated.

Then, Tie Niu shared the little silver left with his third grandfather's family.

Tie Niu's family asked for ten gold nuggets, and distributed another 3000 taels of silver. The rest of the gold and silver belonged to the third grandfather's family.

Not too long, forty carts and two horse-drawn carts rushed over. Tie Niu's family asked for nine carts, Third Patriarch's family asked for four carts, Duan Wuji's family asked for twenty carts, and the rest The seven carts he owned were unused and were driven back by the cart owner.

Everyone worked together to fill up these dozens of carts, and these guys are leaving with the silver carts!

Chai Shao pulled out the white horse and rushed over with a spear in his hand.

"Several virtuous brothers, with so much gold and silver, I don't feel at ease! Although all of you are superb in martial arts, I still escort you for a ride.

After all, there is power in numbers! "

Duan Wuji smiled and said, "Thank you so much.

Brothers, cheer me up, let's hurry on our way. "

Under the escort of a few people, these more than 30 carts headed straight for Duan Jiaji and then rushed down. It was almost dusk at this time.

The owner of the car shook his horse's whip and kept on speeding up!

When the sun was about to cover the mountain, the convoy finally arrived at the fork in Duanjiaji.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It's finally safe, everyone hurry home and unload the money!

After all, these cars have to go back! "

Tieniu asked Duan Wuji, "Brother, tell me how much we should pay them for this car!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"If you ask me, we don't give them a tael of silver, what do you think we'll spend on the car that Big Brother Chai found!

Even if we two brothers went to the residence of the left-behind envoy to find a few cars, he would be ashamed to ask us for money!

Our two brothers practiced martial arts with the fourth son of his family, and it took nearly a year to practice!

We didn't care about his asking for money! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother, don't do that! You have to give them two anyway!"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji wanted to say: "Each family can just give them 50 taels and send them to eat, we don't have any more!"

After hearing this, Chai Shao said, "Why is my brother becoming stingy today? I'm really embarrassed to ask for this!"

The matter was settled in this way, and everyone parted ways, and drove their carriages straight to their hometowns.
