So when Zheng Ning saw Huo Gang coming back, his face was full of admiration.

"I've seen General Huo." Zheng Ning bowed to Huo Gang first.

Huo Gang also bowed to Zheng Ning, and then asked with a smile: "President Zheng is indeed the one who keeps his promise, but is Team Zheng going to set off again?"

Of course, Huo Gang knew that these things must be given to him, but there were some things that always gave him a chance to say.

"No, no, General Huo, these things are for General Huo." Zheng Ning immediately said with a smile.

"Is that so? I don't remember being able to buy so many things for 50 kcals." Huo Gang looked at the huge caravan and spoke.

"Of course, 50 guan can't buy so much, but we just treat the other things as we gave to General Huo." Zheng Ning said with a smile.

"Is that so? I wonder what Team Leader Zheng has transported here this time?" Huo Gang looked at Zheng Ning and asked without comment.

"The silk that General Huo wanted was 100 pieces, the salt was 50 stones relatively small, and the others were basically about 200 stones of rice and some seeds of food. He also brought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the general." Zheng Ning immediately replied to Huo Gang.

Huo Gang nodded slightly. He could roughly understand the prices of goods in the Western Regions from Ak City. For example, the prices of silk and salt are not cheap, especially salt in ancient times.

"Tell me about these prices." Huo Gang asked directly.

"This silk is about 300 yuan per piece, because it is a relatively ordinary fabric. If it is salt, it is about 300 yuan per stone, and rice is about 300 yuan per stone. The price of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is relatively fragmented. There is no need to say more about these, and the general doesn't have to care about it." Zheng Ning said with a smile.

Huo Gang was probably stunned when he heard the price, "How much does salt cost per stone?"

"Three Hundred Months." Zheng Ning gave a price.

Huo Gang was a little confused. Didn’t he say that the price of salt in ancient times was very expensive? Why was it the same as rice? One stone was 300 min. You should know that one stone in the Tang Dynasty was about 53 kilograms, which means that one pound of salt was less than 3 min. This is called expensive?

If Zheng Ning hadn't confirmed it repeatedly, Huo Gang would have thought he had heard it wrong. This was different from what he thought. At the price Huo Gang thought, the price of salt would have to be increased at least ten times, or even dozens of times to meet the ancient impression that salt was expensive.

However, the price of this rice was a bit beyond Huo Gang's expectations. It costs 300 cents per stone, and the price of this rice was higher than what Huo Gang thought.

But Huo Gang remembered that the rice price in the first year of Zhenguan was indeed relatively expensive. It seemed that after the third year of Zhenguan, the rice price was about 3 cents per dou, and 30 cents per stone, which was only about one tenth of this.

However, in the second half of this year, the rice price in the Tang Dynasty seems to rise. If Huo Gang remembers correctly, there was a famine in the Guanzhong period of the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Zhenguan. There was a saying that rice was worth a piece of silk, but the price was obviously not that expensive now.

However, the price of salt was quite strong and beyond Huo Gang's expectations, but Zheng Ning should not lie to him in this regard.

According to the price given by Zheng Ning, Huo Gang roughly calculated that these three things cost more than 100 guan, which is not counted as other pens, inks, papers, and inkstones.

"Since Chief Zheng has already brought the things, I'm disrespectful to accept them. But I want to know, can I buy some things with Leader Zheng?" Huo Gang did not struggle with this price, but asked very simply.

"Of course, we are businessmen, and the general wants to buy it. Of course we do this business." Zheng Ning said straightforwardly.

"Okay, I want to buy some seeds from Team Leader Zheng, such as pepper and other spices. The quantity does not need to be too large. In addition, I want some bamboo seeds grown in Liangzhou, white stacked seeds, charcoal, a lot of charcoal, and the slag left after iron smelting. Team Leader Zheng gave a price." Huo Gang simply said what he needed.

Zheng Ning was not surprised that Huo Gang wanted to buy things with him, because no one in the tribes in the Western Regions did not buy things with them, not to mention that Huo Gang's tribes had many people, so it was difficult to live their lives in the Western Regions.

But what Zheng Ning never expected was that what he originally thought that Huo Gang bought was nothing but steel, grain, cloth, paper, tea, and salt, and it was not produced on the grassland.

Except for steel, everything else can be sold, but what Zheng Ning didn't expect was that what Huo Gang bought was completely different from what he thought?! The seeds of this spice are used for? Could you still want to grow spices in this place? If you can even plant such as spices, such as expensive plants, how can you not grow food?

But look at the area near Yumen Pass, do you think you can grow food? Even if you can grow it, the yield is probably pitifully low.

As for the seeds of bamboo and white folded seeds... Zheng Ning never expected it.

He could understand charcoal. After all, in winter, the Turks also needed charcoal, so what do you want this slag...? Zheng Ning originally thought that Huo Gang would propose it, but Huo Gang didn't even mention the matter of buying iron tools.

Iron tools are absolutely not sold. Although the Turks did not know how to smelite, the Turks' Rouran tribes were all famous for smelting iron, they were short of materials on the grassland and could not find so many iron ores, so smelting iron was not that easy.

For the Turks, iron is always lacking.

"What the general said...of course, if the general wants a seed, if the amount of seeds is not large, I can give them to the general for free." Zheng Ning thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"If you have bamboo, I can also help the general find it, but if you can survive, I can't guarantee it. The number of white folds is not large, so it should not be a big problem if you find it. Among these things, the general needs the most charcoal. If you have charcoal, the price of a stone will be about 600 yuan." Zheng Ning quickly sorted out his thoughts and quoted a bad price.

"Slag, this thing was originally free, mainly for the shipping fee." Zheng Ning hesitated for a moment. The thing about slag was really casually pulled.

"In this way, Team Leader Zheng, you can go back and organize people to transport a batch of slag, then calculate the labor and freight costs, and then calculate the appropriate profits and give me a price, how about it?" Huo Gang looked at Zheng Ning and spoke.

"Of course there is no problem." Seeing Huo Gang being serious, although he didn't know what Huo Gang wanted to do, Zheng Ning simply agreed.
