Daqin Engineering Corps

So the two of them responded and withdrew suspiciously.

Not long after walking out of the tent, the younger brother Wei, who was more cunning, whispered to his elder brother Jing:

"Brother, you said this captain..."

As he spoke, Wei lit up the rolled up paper in his hand:

"Is he using this thing to fool me?"

"If I don't agree, he will..."

Then he made a gesture of raising and lowering the knife.

After frowning and thinking about it, he said worriedly:

"What you said may make sense."

"But so what, not so what?"

"If this thing can't be exchanged for food, I have to bring people to weave [-] sets of armor."

"Even if I agree, I will starve to death!"

"It's better to let him cut it down!"

After listening to the scriptures, Wei nodded and said:

"That's reasonable, so don't we all die anyway?"

Jing sighed and looked at the paper in his hand and replied:

"But not necessarily."

"If this thing can really be exchanged for food, it will be a big deal."

"The only plan for now is to try!"

Latitude nodded in agreement, but he was thinking that the matter was probably as he guessed, and the captain of the Qin Army didn't want to pay for it and just took some things to prevaricate.

What's more, this thing is as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as a feather, even if it can be exchanged for food, how much can it be exchanged for?

If it's death anyway, why didn't you make a plan earlier...

Thinking of this, Wei rolled his eyes and hugged his stomach and shouted:

"Oh, uncle, my stomach hurts."

"Why don't you exchange mine for food first, and I'll come find you later."

After thinking about it: exchanging one copy is also exchanging, and exchanging two copies is also exchanging, so I agreed without hesitation.

Who would have thought that after Jing passed the corner, Wei would rush home to pack his luggage, then hire a carriage and leave the city.

How could Shen Bing on the other side know this, he called Fatty Tun again.

This time Fatty Tun even walked with his feet open and almost moved over...

Shen Bing smiled and asked:

"Is it horse riding again?"

Fatty Tun replied:

"It's horse riding!"

"Although I can get on the horse now, but the horse's bumps and bumps have worn my apprentice's skin..."

As he said that, he rolled up his trousers a little, and it was indeed a bloody mess.

In fact, let alone this era, even beginners with saddles and saddles will inevitably have to wear out their skin.

In particular, Fatty Tun's legs were very fleshy, and he had to clamp them tightly to keep his balance on the horse's back when riding a horse, so it was very worn.

Shen Bing hesitated and said:

"so you……"

Fatty Tun was also clever, he had already guessed that there must be something wrong with Shen Bing's finding, so he cupped his fists and said:

"Master, just tell me if you have something to do, this little injury is nothing."

"It is said that this is a pain that must be experienced when riding a horse. Others can suffer, and my disciples are not alone."

Shen Bing nodded, then counted ten pieces of paper and handed them up, saying:

"Last time I waited for a loan at Yuntian, so you can use these to pay back!"

"If it's not enough, I'll make it up later."

Fatty Tun had some doubts on his face:

"Master, what is this thing?"

"Can it be used to pay off debts?"

Shen Bing replied:

"You just take it!"

Fatty Tun responded, rolled up the paper, and then moved out while stepping on the outside while panting.

Chapter 169 Acquisition

As the saying goes, no coincidence makes a book, but Jing took the two rolls of paper and found Yunpan.

In fact, this cannot be said to be a coincidence but inevitable.

Because Yuntian is in the rice grain business... This is the tradition left by Bai Gui, which is also the so-called business strategy of "If you want to grow money, get rid of the grain".

Bai Gui believes that although the profits of daily necessities such as "Xiagu" are low, but the consumption elasticity is small, the transaction volume is large, and winning with more can also make great profits.

This is the modern business theory of "small profits but quick turnover".

Therefore, Bai Gui resolutely chose the bulk trade of agricultural products, rural handicraft raw materials and products as his main business direction.

After that, he almost monopolized this industry, earning much more from the family business than those who used jewelry to make huge profits.

Yun Tian is Bai Gui's disciple, and of course he also adheres to Bai Gui's theory.

And because he did "small profits but quick turnover" in business, he was trusted by the people and called a "good businessman".

And a good reputation in turn made the people willing to do business with Yuntian, so it became more and more popular.

It seems not surprising that modern people know these business theories, but a group of businessmen knew to do so during the Warring States Period more than 2000 years ago, which is quite far-sighted.

Because of Yuntian's reputation, Jingcai, who was worried about being deceived, found Yuntian as soon as he looked for it.

It was not Yuntian who received the scriptures, but Shengtian Rice Shop under Yuntian.

Jing plucked up the courage to hand over the two rolls of paper, and asked the buddy tremblingly:

"Brother, look, this thing can be exchanged for rice?"

Honestly, he didn't dare to ask how much rice he could exchange, he only hoped to get rice.

The clerk took the paper and unfolded it. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see what it was, so he handed it to the shopkeeper.

At first, the shopkeeper thought it was Hexuan. (Pronunciation: hè tí. The by-product of silkworm cocoon production in ancient times, which can be used for writing but expensive)

But if you take a closer look, it's not.

The businessman is always sensitive enough to this kind of novelty, so after asking a few words, he took the paper and rushed to find Yunpan.

Yun Tian was also very interested when he saw this thing: it looked like silk but not like silk, and the texture was even and smooth, so he asked curiously:

"Did you ask him how this thing was made?"

"What's the use?"

"How much rice do you want to exchange?"

The shopkeeper replied:

"But I don't know when I ask three questions."

"Just ask how much rice can be exchanged for!"

This is not just honesty, but that he has no confidence that this thing can be exchanged for food.

Although Yun Tian didn't know the function of this thing, he felt that it was a bit like a hen, so he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper on a whim.

As soon as I wrote it, I was surprised:

"The writing and coloring of this thing is clearer than that of silk and Hexuan."

"And the black ink won't show through, but it's a good thing for writing!"

In the next second, Yun Tian saw the business opportunity, and secretly said:

"If you can buy this thing in large quantities and even obtain this thing..."

Thinking of this cloud, he no longer hesitated, and immediately said:

"Quickly, go and invite that entertainer."

The shopkeeper responded and sent a carriage to fetch the scriptures.

However, Yun Tian was walking back and forth anxiously in the room. He regretted the moment he let the shopkeeper go out, and he should have gone there by himself if he knew it earlier... Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to let others snatch it first?

After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper came up with scriptures, and Yun Tian hurriedly greeted him:

"Old man, how did you get this thing?"

After a while, he was frightened by Yun Tian's appearance. He originally wanted to tell the truth, but then he thought:

"The lieutenant repeatedly told me that the matter of making helmets should not be announced to the outside world."

"I think this matter is also related to helmet making, so how can we and other ordinary people discuss it at will?"

"Although this Yunji is not to be offended, how can the captain of the Qin Army be easy to provoke?"

"Wouldn't it be wrong to accidentally lose your life because of this?"

Thinking of this, Jing just bowed to Yuntian and replied:

"My master forgives me, I just want to know if this thing can be exchanged for food."

"If not..."

Before the scriptures were finished, Yun Tian replied:

"Yes, of course it can be exchanged for food."

"Is it okay to exchange two catties of rice for each sheet?"

After being stunned on the spot:

For each two catties of rice, that is ten qian.

Ten sheets are one hundred coins, and the ten sheets of weft are added to two hundred coins.

This thing is actually worth two hundred dollars? !

Then Qin Junxiao Weicheng did not deceive me, this is a big deal.

Yun Tian didn't say a word when he saw the scriptures, but said that he was not satisfied with the price, so he said:

"If the old man is not satisfied with the price, then..."

Hastily answered:

"Satisfied, satisfied."

"There are twenty cards in total, and they will be exchanged for two hundred coins!"

Yun Tian still wanted to ask for some information from Jing, but Jing didn't dare to say more. After taking the money, he said a few perfunctory words and ran away in a hurry.

The Yunpan only held a few pieces of paper and sighed, secretly thinking that if someone else did this business, he would lose a chance to make a fortune.

At this moment, Fatty came in, holding a roll of paper in his hand...

From Shen Bing's side, he first heard the return from the scriptures, saying that a piece of paper can be exchanged for ten yuan, which happens to be a worker's wages for a day.

In fact, the salary is underestimated.
