From Yanzhou to Dengzhou, Chen Buer walked a thousand miles away for a full twelve days before he arrived. He completely let himself go.

He had to visit any scenic spots along the way; he had to take his brothers to taste them all, and he had to enjoy them all along the way.

Very happy.

It’s worth it to make Pan Mingguang’s three second-hand guys call him “run away from home” this time.

After the team met with Fatty and the others halfway, twenty-six people entered the destination of this tour, Dengzhou Prefecture.

Dengzhou, which is Yantai Penglai on the Shandong Peninsula in later generations, was a famous foreign trade port in Dazhou.

Special Economic Zone.

Because the north of the Shandong Peninsula was occupied by the Liao Kingdom,

Therefore, Dengzhou is a natural port,

It became the northern sea trade center.

Those foreigners who came on sea boats, such as the Great Cannibal, Javanese, Siamese, Sanbu Ancients, and Indians, all went ashore to trade to facilitate the transportation of goods to Bianliang.

At the same time, Dengzhou is also the landing point for the vassal states such as Goryeo, Japan, and Ryukyu to visit the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is equivalent to a transit station.

Even the hostile countries of the Great Zhou, Liao and Dazhou where commodities were traded, except for the Xiongzhou market, Dengzhou had the most sea trade. After all, the advantages of bulk goods and sea transportation were obvious.

This also caused great prosperity in Dengzhou in the Tang and Song Dynasties. This prosperity reached its peak in Dazhou and would never be seen again in later generations.

It was at this time that Chen Buer entered Dengzhou City. As soon as he entered the city, he felt a different custom from Bianliang.

The whole city,

It's a huge market.

If you don't feel like being substituted,

Just think about what the Yiwu International Commodity City looks like in later generations, and what it is now.

There were hawking, shouting, bargaining everywhere, and foreigners in all kinds of colors, all kinds of clothes, and even the air was filled with the smell of money.

Porcelain, tea, and even books from Dazhou were exported in large quantities through Dengzhou Port.

What kind of spices abroad, the special knives, handicrafts, medicinal materials from various countries, are all concentrated in Dengzhou for people to buy.

Not only is there a rich variety, but also a huge number, it has formed professional street markets in Dengzhou City. For example, if Chen Buer wants to purchase medicine, he has to go to Chongning Fang West Street, where all of them are medicinal materials stores.

Chen Buer is fine, but he has been a person who has visited Yiwu Small Commodity Market, and has seen big scenes.

Pan Mingguang and the other two men, including the fat and thin men, were all stunned by the prosperity of Dengzhou City.

Bianliang City is prosperous, but that is the retail market. Where is the professional wholesale market here prosperous?

Chen Buer led the horse and shouted:

“Pan Ge'er,

You guys should put the gold here,

I'll give it to you if you want to use it,

Look at your appearance now, aren’t you just telling the thief that you have money on you and come and steal it!”

As a result, these two guys now recognize money but not people, and even their brothers don’t believe it, and they cover their gold tightly.

"No, we will keep it ourselves. Wow, look, what new thing is this?"

Chen Buer didn't care about these three guys, and they were stolen and cried.

Since I arrived in Dengzhou, I always have to do the main business first and then go to play after finishing the business, so that I can feel relaxed.

Under the guidance of passers-by, the group came to Chongning Fang West Street.

As soon as you enter this block, you can smell the fragrance floating in the air. It's really a fragrance.

Unlike the traditional Chinese medicinal materials exported by Dazhou, the medicinal materials imported from the outside are mainly pepper, nutmeg, agarwood, clove, sandalwood, dragon head and musk.

These spices can be used as medicine or as seasonings. Because they are all imported, they are expensive.

Gu Wu

One or two spices are comparable to one or two golds. If you ship them to Bianliang, you will not have to worry about sales, which means that there are so many rich people there.

As for the two main medicinal materials Chen Buer purchased this time, "rhinoceros horn" and "musk", they are niche goods, and even if there is very little inventory in Dengzhou.

After all, such a big rhino has no guns or cannons. It depends entirely on human power to hunt and kill, and that is also very expensive.

The key is that rhinos are not everywhere, just Sumatra, Java, and India are distributed in a small number. African rhinos are not the mainstream of this era, so the price is even more expensive.

Many rich people bought it back and made it into handicrafts, and then they were excavated in later generations. The one was more than a few million (at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, "The Manjushri Green Lion's Sitting Statue" was sold for 7.25 million yuan)

So from ancient times to the present, the rhino horn has been one word: expensive.

When he went out, Chen Jinbai had already handed over an address to Chen Buer and indicated the specific price fluctuations. After all, rhinoceros horns and musk were sky-high prices, and they fluctuated at will, but they were hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.

Who can be far away from the ocean and reach the bad weather on the sea? Who is the merchant who is haunted by pirates who eat people and don’t spit bones? Then I’ll give you a price to kill pigs, and you have no place to cry.

As Chen Buer walked, he looked at the Chinese patent medicines on the roadside stalls, especially when he saw the wild ginseng, which was always hundreds of years old, and his saliva was about to flow down.

Unfortunately, his golden finger was carrying a hospital. If he was like some time travelers, he could wear it repeatedly and switch it at any time in ancient and modern times, he would be able to make a fortune.

Just selling personal ginseng can become the richest man in the country.

"Shopkeeper, how much does this ginseng cost?"

"Which one did you say?"

Chen Buer pointed the ginseng on the top of the counter.

"Hey, this young man has a good eye. This is an authentic wild ginseng. It has at least a thousand years of practice. After eating this ginseng, the remaining limbs can be regenerated and dying to the point of dying. It can be used as a heirloom at home."

Chen Buer waved his hand: "Just tell me how much you cost."

The vendor's eyes turned: "One hundred taels."

"Bye-Bye."

Chen Buer didn't ask for the price anymore and turned around and left.

"Hey hey, don't leave, this young man, the price is easy to negotiate."

Ginseng is a good baby, and everyone in Dazhou knows it, but not everyone can afford it, so the market is not wide.

The most important point is that the current wild mountain parameters are still very large, unlike later generations that were almost empty. The cost is nothing more than the difficulty of collecting herbs and transportation is not easy.

Chen Buer didn't know if there were more than one hundred taels of millennium ginseng, but he knew that he must have bullied him an amateur when he looked at his boss's eyes.

Chen Buer was caught, which was expected, so he gritted his teeth and bargained: "Fifty taels, I'll buy it if it's fifty taels."

"make a deal!"

"No, why are you so happy? Shouldn't you bargain for a few times?"

Chen Buer was anxious. The boss didn't play by the rules. Why did he agree in one go? Is this expensive to buy?
