Chapter 25 The extraordinary mirror

The meeting with Guo Yong was basically the same as that with Zhen Ping. He agreed to help Huo Hai and contact the children of various families to attack Zhou Xiangguo. Huo Hai promised him that if the Guo family finally bought the mirror, they only needed to take out the goods with a transaction price of 70% and deliver them to Huo Hai, and they could get the mirror.

OK! Xu Chang doesn’t understand again. Since there is already a Zhen family helping to raise the bidding, why does Huo Hai find another Guo family?

"Do you know, there is a saying that you can't put eggs in a basket?" Huo Hai explained to Xu Chang.

Xu Chang shook his head, and he felt that eggs were safer only if they were eaten into their stomachs.

"That is to say, we cannot put all our hopes on one person. What if this person gives up? The Su family and the Zhang family mainly sell goods such as cattle, horses, livestock, or fine iron. If we have these things in the future, we will be better if we don't have them, we can pass even if we have them.

However, the Zhen family mainly deals in food.

Without food, our lives cannot be passed.

If we cannot join the Guo family, which is also engaged in grain business, then our lifeblood will likely be controlled by the Zhen family.

If we lose such initiative, our things will not be able to be sold at the Zhen family in the future." Huo Hai explained to Xu Chang carefully.

After listening for a long time, Xu Chang understood this passage as a sentence, which was to prevent Zhen from selling food to himself in the future.

"Is that right? In the future, we will have a good relationship with more families who operate grain trading?" After Xu Chang figured out the key to the problem, he went to Huo Haidao.

Huo Hai nodded and said, "This is natural. During the disaster year, nothing is important. The more we can buy food, the better. In this way, we can compare multiple stores and buy the best food at the cheapest price."

Xu Chang nodded deeply and said, "The reason why they wanted to buy our Seven Treasure Glazed Bottle and Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Mirror at a high price is because they have no conditions to compare with many stores, and only ours can sell it."

"By the way, you will be able to think more about this business method and understand it thoroughly. It will not be difficult to be rich." Huo Hai praised.

"Thank you, Mr., for your advice. Chang will understand it well and serve you." Xu Chang obviously admired Huo Hai's abilities very much. In addition, he knew that Zhang Bao handed over the commander's order to Huo Hai, so he began to regard himself as Huo Hai's subordinate.

Huo Hai waved his hand at him with a smile, and said nothing more. Finding someone with ability to follow is the psychology of most people in this era, just like most poor losers in later generations want to follow the rich and upper class. Huo Hai understands this psychology.

However, the more people follow him, the heavier the responsibility he has on his shoulders. In the future, he still needs to break free from the lazy state of future generations, and consider the problem more seriously and carefully.

As time approached noon, the more people went to the high platform to find Zhou Zheng to speak. If he didn't come, Huo Hai had a way to not come. When he came, Huo Hai had a way to come. Therefore, in the face of everyone's verbal exclusion, it was inevitable that he would get angry.

"Noon has arrived at Zhou Guoguo, but the person selling mirrors did not appear. I think it was because I was afraid of your official power and dared not show up. Why don't you do this? Let's leave for now and allow the person selling mirrors to appear. If I waited to buy the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Mirror and presented it to the Emperor, and I would like to express my contribution to the emperor, what do you think?"

"Yes! Yes! What does that mirror look like? I haven't seen it yet! If it's just an ordinary thing, you have made this gesture, but you are suspected of being a clever and robbed. If it is spread, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation..."

"It would be fine if we were in the wild, we believed the folk rumors and came to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, as a 2,000-stone official in the court, Zhou Guoxiang would believe the rumors like us, and come to watch. After today, there will be many rumors in the officialdom, saying that Zhou Guoxiang is not doing his job properly and is greedy for fun..."

The harsh words can be said to be one after another, making Zhou Zheng blush. If these speakers were ordinary civilians, Zhou Zheng would send him whatever he wanted. However, the identities and origins of these speakers were extraordinary. Some people even have high-ranking officials of the Nine Ministers level in their families, and it would be impossible to deal with the people with the way they deal with the people.

"Wait, wait..." Zhou Zheng wanted to scold these juniors, but he didn't know who should start scolding them. He was so angry that he was so angry.

"Ming Gong, this place is not a place for long-term stay, so you should leave first!" An aide next to Zhou Zheng suggested to him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng nodded. If he really didn't leave, the person selling mirrors would not appear at all. At present, the people gathered around the livestock market have exceeded tens of thousands. How could he know who the mirror is on?

"Zhou Jun, I'm going to ask you to find out the situation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Mirror. If it's really a rare treasure, I'll send someone to notify me immediately and make sure that those younger generations will take it away." After Zhou Zheng gave the order in anger, he got into his carriage, and his subordinates immediately began to enlighten the way for him.

And as he left, a tide of cheers broke out in the scene.

"See, the actions of the court officials are not popular with the people, and the people regard them as enemies. The Han Dynasty is not far from being destroyed. Join our Taiping Cult! Three or five years later, you can't say that you can also be granted a marquis and a prime minister..."

After the cheers in the crowd started, Zhang Bao pointed at Zhou Zheng's car that had left hurriedly and said to several men with a bruised nose and swollen face that he had beaten last night.

Usually, they absorbed people with Taiping Cult, and if they had not only a few tricks, such as small favors, coercion, temptation, fraud, etc. However, with the development of the three brothers for more than ten years, they have indeed organized many people. There are as many as 5,000 Yellow Turban Strongmen under Zhang Jiao, and there are also 3,000 people in Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's hands. The minimum standard for being a Yellow Turban Strongmen is to carry 500 kilograms and take a hundred steps.

Although this five hundred kilogram refers to five hundred kilograms of Han, which is only more than two hundred kilograms in later generations, people who can carry more than two hundred kilograms and take one hundred steps are at least far higher than ordinary people in terms of strength. In this era, they are special forces.

The centurion and above commanders of the Yellow Turban Powerful Warriors are all masters who have mastered their internal strength. If they digitize their personal force, they will be at least 60 years old, and they are all brave and fearless. When the regular army of the court meets them, most of them have to kneel down. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo is also considered a powerful soldier of the Han Court, but fighting with them head-on will end in failure, which shows how strong their combat power is.

Sure enough, under Zhang Bao's tricks, these guys with good skills finally chose to join the Taiping Sect, thus making these guys who were originally planning to cause trouble become guys who maintain order.

"Mr. Huo, Prime Minister Zhou has been invited away by us. I wonder when your Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Mirror will start to be sold!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping asked Huo Hai in the previous tea shop.

"It's soon, but I advise you to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the cattle, horses and livestock in your hands and make a fortune. Sometimes, if you get something you shouldn't get, it will easily cause trouble to your family." Huo Hai smiled.

Upon hearing this, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other, clasped their fists and bowed to Huo Hai, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, I will take it as a way to increase my knowledge this time! If Mr. Huo has any demand for cattle, horses and livestock in the future, please send me a letter to my two companies to inform you. My two companies can sell them to you at a price of 10% below the market price."

"It's easy to say, but what I want is not just cattle, horses, livestock, fur, fine iron, food, etc. I want it. What should I do to trade it for, and after I settle down, there will be a letter to the two of you." Huo Hai smiled and bowed to them.

Watching the two left, Huo Hai asked Xu Chang to take a few people to protect Chu Yu and the others on stage to sell mirrors. As for himself, he entered the livestock market on foot, wanting to see what the livestock mainly used for trading are and what their quality is.

It turns out that in this era, it is already very common for ordinary people to raise pigs and eat pork. When there was no drought in the past few years, the market price of a pig was about 2,000 yuan, but now it has risen to 3,000 yuan.

As for sheep with less meat, it is between 800 and 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of two stones of yellow millet and rice.

The price difference between cattle and horses is very large depending on the quality. A scalper in the north looks like a cost of about 10,000 yuan. The so-called one cattle is worth ten sheep, which refers to this kind of scalper.

There are also buffaloes in the south here, but the number is smaller. Adult bulls usually look around 30,000 yuan. The so-called one-water versus three-yellow means that the weight of this kind of buffaloes is more than one ton, and when you work, you will almost get over the big black-skinned buffaloes with two yellow oxen.

There is also a type of yak that is specially used for eating meat, peeling, cramping, and used as strategic materials, and the price is around 20,000 yuan.

Horses are divided into many levels, and are the livestock with the most moisture and the most elasticity. When buying horses, they usually need to bargain at one horse, especially when training mature war horses, there is a price gap of several times between ordinary horses, because horse training takes time, and its growth period requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Therefore, there are less than thirty horses worth 100,000 yuan in the entire livestock market now, and there are even two sweat-sweat horses worth more than 200,000 yuan, all of which are the mounts of the children of the gentry.

Of course, there is not a single top-notch horse like Red Rabbit, Night Zhaoyu Lion, Claw Huang Feidian, or a top-notch horse that is worth millions of dollars or cannot be measured with money.

In addition to these livestock, there is also a relatively common animal, dog, which is also listed as the main source of carnivore by this era.

The price of a local dog is about 500 yuan, but this is due to the rising prices. In the past few years, it was only sold for two or three hundred yuan. Eating dog meat is cheaper than eating pork and mutton.

Of course, since people who feed dogs usually don’t give them any good food to dogs, these dogs are usually thinner, difficult to exceed twenty kilograms, and their body is still smelly, and their edible value is indeed much lower than later generations.

Don’t think that Huo Hai came to inspect the prices. In fact, when he entered the city yesterday, he had already figured out the prices of these things. In his opinion, all livestock breeding businesses are low returns on investment and are not suitable for business for the time being. There is no reason, and food is scarce.

So, he came to count the number.

Only by knowing how many cattle, sheep and livestock there are that the children of the gentry can use to trade, Huo Hai can roughly estimate the limit price of the mirror.

After reading it, Huo Hai had roughly thought about it, and then he came to the trading desk outside the market, which was already surrounded by everyone.

At this time, the somewhat nervous girl Chu Yu and Baoer had already stood on the platform, and the mirror was slowly taken out from a box covered with several layers of red silk cloth and placed it on a table in the center of the trading table.

"this……"

The round mirror reflects the strong afternoon sunshine, flashing and shaking eyes. However, when some people turned their backs and saw the appearance of people looking at this side with their heads stretched out their heads, their expressions frozen.

In this mirror, it seems like there is a world exactly the same as the real world, even cleaner and peaceful than the real world, and it will appear in the slightest.

At this time, all the people who came to the scene, especially the gentry boys who stood close to the trading desk, couldn't help but praise in their hearts, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl Mirror was indeed extraordinary, even more extraordinary than they imagined.
