I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 276 Another City

Xuan Yue said, "What about winter clothes? They can't be fat coats." They were several thousand people and divided into two teams, one team to mine and the other team to pretend to be Dada tribe herding.

Regardless of food, clothes cannot be a flaw.

General Wang agreed with him. Fortunately, winter clothes were being made, so there was still time. "Well, I will ask someone to buy some blue cloth to wrap your winter clothes with a layer of blue. I will pay for it as soon as possible, and send it together with the finished medicine No. 9.

When the time comes, you can take it away at the agreed place while you are grazing."

"Good." Xuan Yue's requests were all met, so he prepared to leave.

But the moment she opened the door, she suddenly remembered Shen Xiaoye who had just passed by, so she turned around.

On the other hand, Shen Xiaoye seized the time and found two more cloth shops to sell goods before curfew.

Coincidentally, a cloth merchant in Yunzhou City had just delivered goods not long ago, so she sold several hundred pieces by offering a slightly lower price.

After that, no one was willing to buy more. Shen Cungeng's team of three also performed poorly, selling just over 200 horses at a price of 3 cents a piece.

“The total shipment is less than 800 pieces. It seems we have to sell as many as we can in Datong.

I originally wanted to sell the goods for 3.34 yuan, but I didn't expect the merchants here to be very smart and lowered the price to 3.1 yuan." After delivering the goods, everyone gathered at the inn to count the silver. Shen Cungeng felt that the price was too low.

That's right, he went all the way north and west, and every time he shipped goods to a city farther away, he would add money according to the default rules.

Shen Xiaoye put away the more than 200 taels of silver and said, "I also sold it for two cents. This place is different from Yangyuan. It belongs to the real Jin area.

There are many businessmen, especially big businessmen.

When we get to Datong tomorrow, I guess the cloth shops will have already received the goods, but the prices will still not be as high as they should be. "

"The city must be packed with caravans of all sizes right now. If we don't sell it at a low price, we won't be able to sell it." As a bystander, Lu Guan saw it more clearly.

Shen Cungeng and the other two couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, only to hear Shen Xiaoye say again: "In Datong City, the price cannot be lower than three cents and two cents, and no more four-foot cloth will be shown to people."

"Yes, the cost of red cloth is high. At worst, we can go further west." Shen Cungeng agreed very much.

Now is the time for Erniu and Zhuangzhuang to watch and learn more, so they didn't say anything more and prepared to go back to rest.

When the door was opened, Guard Chen and a team member just came back. The team member reported: "Fourth Master, Miss Shen, there is a captain Wang from Xuanda looking for you outside."

Shen Xiaoye and Lu Guan looked at each other. They didn't know each other, but they still received him warmly.

Unexpectedly, Captain Wang introduced himself as General Wang as soon as they met, and said that he wanted to buy 2,000 pieces of blue cloth, but he asked for the same price as General Lu.

Moreover, he will take the goods away first, and you need to go to Datong to settle the bill.

Shen Xiaoye agreed without much thought. She was now glad that the fine cloth she sold to Lu Guan was settled at the wholesale price of three cents per piece, which was higher than the wholesale price of higher-priced cloth.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and with a token and the local garrison office in Yunzhou to prove Captain Wang's identity, the contract was signed in the office.

Watching a team of border troops carrying away 3,000 pieces of cloth, Shen Xiaoye let out a long breath. She said, "It must be General Wang and Senior Sister Xuan Yue who saw us."

"I wonder if Senior Sister is still in the city." She thought not.

Lu Guan said: "No matter if he is here or not, you can't see him." The general sent his clan members to get the goods, just because he doesn't want to show up too often!

Shen Xiaoye could naturally think of the issue of confidentiality, "At the next station, even if the tax is higher, the remaining 1,920 horses will only cost a few dozen taels of tax.

By the way, did the team members get more information?"

"Let me ask, Brother Chen, have all the people returned?" Lu Guan still had to look for Chen, his bodyguard and personal secretary.

Guard Chen said: "Most of them have returned, and a few are still asking."

"Very good, I'll go talk to everyone." Shen Xiaoye didn't think he was an important person, so he treated the hired team members equally.

Others provide the labor and she provides the money. It is a fair deal and no one is nobler than the other.

After all, the team members were from the Beijing Camp, so it was easy for them to find connections with people in the army and get some non-confidential information.

From their feedback, Shen Xiaoye soon learned that Datong’s new tax collection method was the same as Yunzhou’s.

It is also said that all the inns and coach houses in the city have been rented out.

Shen Cungeng said, "At worst, after we get into the city, we can find a secluded place and set up a cart to sleep."

Shen Xiaoye pondered in his heart, and finally decided: "Why not go into the city and take the small road directly to Deshengkou where the horse market is located."

"No, if we are discovered after deliberately hiding, we will be caught and thrown into jail." Lu Guan remembered the border town he had passed by, which was next to the Great Wall and all he could see was a beacon tower.

The blue brick walls have long been dilapidated, and it is already very good to have a row of bamboo and wooden nets connected to form a "wall".

Besides, the current emperor follows Taizu's will and treats the Northern Barbarians with offense as defense and extends them into the grassland fortresses. If the Northern Barbarians invade the south and invade the border, the thousand households in each garrison have the responsibility to launch an expedition at the right time.

He advised: "Don't leave hidden dangers for the future, Datong has many military households and many civilians.

When the time comes, you can pay more money and rent a place from ordinary people."

"That's fine. There are only 1,400 pieces of cloth in the car, and it won't take up much space if we live in a private house." Shen Xiaoye really thought so.

Shen Cungeng pushed her gently, and she finally realized that even if there were about two thousand pieces of goods, which would weigh three or four thousand kilograms, it would take at least five carts to transport them.

But this is not a big problem. The key is that there are still a dozen or so empty cars left.

Shen Xiaoye said, "Cousin, let's go find Shopkeeper Dai and others to see who needs a cart."

He asked, "Rent it?"

Speaking of this, she saw Shen Cungeng's spirits rising and his health immediately returned to full.

She said: "It's just pure help, no other conditions attached.

Cousin, it is good to make more friends in the border town. "

Shen Cungeng immediately lost interest again. He said, "Since I'm here, I'll make some friends."

They took action immediately after saying they would act, and several people went their separate ways to look for people.

As soon as daybreak came, Shen Xiaoye's convoy was the first to leave the city gate and quickly headed towards Datong.

The two places are only sixty miles apart, so everyone should hurry and get into the city before the city gates close in the afternoon.

Shen Xiaoye saw a city in the distance, tall and solid, "We have arrived at another city."

Although she was happy, she did not slow down. She jumped on the horse and galloped to the city gate first.

Then, the tall and heavy city gate closed with a buzzing sound the moment she reined in her horse. Closed?

Shen Xiaoye stared at the door without making any move, because at this moment the patrolling archers on the city wall were already ready.

Anyone who dares to break the rules will be shot down.

"Xiao Ye, let's camp tonight." Lu Guan couldn't conjure up a room for everyone to stay in.
