The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

Before dawn, Qin Shuhuang was called up by Shi Lan.

She changed into women's riding clothes, put on a curtain hat, and was helped by Xie Xuanye to get on the carriage.

Then the group rushed to Gaitang Valley through the last trace of night.

There were not many of them, and they were followed by a few carriages. Most of the things inside were from the robbery of the "Beidi Caravan" near the small mountain village.

Most of them are fur, coarse cloth and some miscellaneous grains.

Half an hour later, when the sky was slightly bright, the group arrived outside Gaitang Valley.

This is a natural valley, narrow at the entrance but wide inside. There is only one way in and out, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

To be able to choose this place, the group of people running the black market have put in a lot of effort.

Before they burned the incense, there were only a few people walking on the road, but when they arrived at Gaitang Valley, there was already a long queue.

The carriages lined up in front are almost all caravans, and every carriage is packed with goods. There are no scattered single merchants selling and buying goods. It can be seen that the transactions here are large transactions.

This also means that there are many goods!Huge profits!

It took two quarters of an hour to queue up to enter Gaitanggu.

Song Yiqiu, who was driving in front, was like other caravans. When he entered Gaitang Valley, he threw an ingot or ten taels of silver into the bamboo basket next to the strong man guarding him.

So the entire team was allowed to enter the black market.

No wonder there are no scattered merchants. The entrance fee is ten taels, which cannot be afforded by bulk merchants.

Entering Gaitang Valley, there was a huge buzz of people, and it was even more lively than Qin Shuhuang imagined.

Various temporary sheds contained goods piled up like hills, and the scene was bigger than the market in Aocheng.

The goods are almost all loaded in vehicles, including coarse cloth, various mountain mushrooms, bamboo products, tea bricks, porcelain, dried fruits, rouge gouache, etc. Most of these goods are sold by Dawu merchants.

On the black market, there are more Beidi businessmen wearing Beidi costumes.

Most of them sell beef and mutton jerky, cheese, angustifolia, black fungus, carpets, whips, kumiss, etc.

Many Beidi merchants even spoke broken Chinese to bargain with Dawu merchants.

What he saw with his own eyes was even more terrifying than Qin Shuhuang imagined.

No wonder the Cao family is so powerful and can control such a large goods market. How is it different from having a chicken that lays eggs every day?

If the Dawu court wanted to trade with Beidi and subtly use commerce to control Beidi, the Cao family's black market must be suppressed and eliminated.

Otherwise, with this black market, the imperial court's mutual market would never be able to take off.

Liu Renren in the carriage was also worried. It seemed that Dawu's trade in Beidi was more difficult than imagined.

Seeing an empty space on the black market, Qin Shuhuang called out and was helped out of the carriage by Shi Lan, and asked his men to put the goods they brought in the empty space for sale.

Looking along the way, the only thing that satisfied Qin Shuhuang was that there were very few merchants selling grain and ironware on the black market. Occasionally, some merchants had goods, but the quantities were not large.

It seems that the Cao family is not completely stupid.Of course, it is also possible that the Regent has given specific instructions to the Cao family in these two aspects, and these two transactions are likely to be in the hands of the Regent.

Qin Shuhuang's goods were nothing compared to other merchants who came to Gaitang Valley to trade.

There were only four loads of stuff in total.

But there are few things that are better than Qin Shuhuang.

Whether it is furs, coarse cloth or miscellaneous grains, Beidi merchants prioritize purchasing supplies.Beidi is in the cold for half of the year, and what it needs most is warm clothing and food.

Coarse cloth was plentiful and cheap, making clothes that would not go bad easily. Although grains were not tasty, they were both satisfying and easy to preserve.

As soon as Qin Shuhuang's goods were displayed, several Beidi merchants came around to ask about the price.

When he just visited the black market, Qin Shuhuang had already asked other Dawu merchants to inquire about the prices of the same goods, and now it was more than enough to deal with these merchants.

In the end, Liu Renren chose a Beidi businessman with the highest bid to trade with him.

This Beidi businessman bought Qin Shuhuang's things for [-]% more than the market price!
Not only that, seeing that Qin Shuhuang and others were part of the Dawu caravan, in order to trade these goods with Qin Shuhuang next time, he took the initiative to give Qin Shuhuang many Beidi specialties, including cheese, angustifolia, kumiss, and dried meat. Waiting for things, it adds up to almost half a car.

Qin Shuhuang sent people to follow this Beidi businessman and found that he had bought almost all the grain and coarse cloth in Gaitang Valley.

After the items were sold out and viewed on the black market, it was time for Qin Shuhuang and his party to leave.

There was only one exit. When they left, the queue at the exit was not large, and it was their turn soon.

Song Yiqiu handed the transaction voucher to the clerk guarding the exit. After the clerk calculated it, he handed over [-]% of the profit as tax.

When selling things, they only made [-]% more than outside. Now this [-]% has been turned over to taxes and fees. As time goes by, Dawu merchants didn't make much more.

Qin Shuhuang took note of this.

After paying the taxes and fees, the convoy can leave the Gaitang Valley exit.

Behind their motorcade was a group of Beidi businessmen.

Their carriages were filled to the brim, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot.

When they passed by the document guarding the exit, they only gave the transaction voucher to the clerk. The clerk glanced at it and returned the transaction voucher to the Beidi caravan without charging a penny in taxes or fees.

Shilan was surprised, "The black market does not collect taxes from Beidi people!"

Just when everyone was indignant about Dawu merchants, there was a sudden commotion at the exit, followed by unpleasant curses.

It's just that the accent of the curse is a bit awkward and strange.

Qin Shuhuang immediately ordered, "He Yutian, go and see what's going on."

At the exit, they saw Qin Shuhuang and his party still parked here. Someone had already come over to urge them to leave quickly and not to block the road.

As the convoy moved forward, the cursing voices behind them continued and became increasingly unpleasant, mixed with the sound of whips.

Qin Shuhuang opened the curtain and looked towards the exit. He saw that the Beidi businessman who had just bought grain and cloth from them was also among the crowd, as if the commotion was related to him.

After a while, the convoy left Gaitang Valley, and the exit of the black market was naturally blocked.

Everyone looked away, and Shilan asked in confusion: "Merchant Dawu has made huge losses doing business on the black market. Why are there so many caravans inquiring about the black market and selling goods on the black market?"

Hearing Shilan's question, Liu Renren smiled bitterly, "Because you can only buy the goods of Beidi merchants on the black market. Although these goods are not valuable in the north, you can make a lot of money when shipped to the capital or Jiangnan. This is also This is the reason why despite the ban on trade at the Dawu border, it has been banned repeatedly."

Profitable ah!
As long as there is more than double the profit, many businessmen can do anything!

Some things are worse than being blocked, which is why Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren insisted on doing business in Beidi.

Everyone fell silent for a while.

At this time, He Yutian, who went to inquire about the news, came back with his people.

He Yutian followed the carriage on horseback and reported, "The person who cursed was a young master who was dressed richly, but he looked a little strange." (End of Chapter)
