Chapter 402 Talking about Cooperation
Early on the next morning, the entire inn was very busy, and the caravan people were preparing to participate in the market in Cang'er County. Cheng Si also got up and planned to visit the market in Cang'er County.
When Mingjia and the others started to visit the market, Duojie's people had already set up a large stall in the market. Most of them were replacement shops, and only a few were for normal sales.
Mingjia and Cheng Si watched from a distance. Mingjia discovered that the people in the county who came to replace things should be villagers from nearby villages. Mingjia suddenly had a very bold idea.
"Uncle Cheng, please send someone to inquire about the price and proportion of replacement by Dorje and others. If it is suitable, we will directly replace all our goods with tea."
Ming Jia suddenly ordered Cheng Si. This decision shocked Cheng Si. What kind of operation did Master Ming Jia do?
Seeing Cheng Si's eyes suddenly widening, Ming Jia explained with a smile: "We are going to take another mountain road back to Dianzhou, and we will definitely pass through some mountain villages. Let's buy some more daily necessities in the county."
Cheng Si thought for a moment and said, "Mingjia, but in this case, we are likely to lose money!" Mingjia shook his head, "Uncle Cheng Si, we won't lose much."
"The road back to Dianzhou is too long, and few caravans usually go there. We should be able to exchange for a lot of good things. We may not be able to earn these things in Dianzhou, but what if we transport them to Qingzhou or the capital?"
Now that it is winter, the storage period of everything will be extended, and Mingjia will not lose money no matter what.
Cheng Si nodded. He didn't understand business, but he understood his young master. Young Master Mingjia has never done any money-losing business. "Okay! I'll send someone to ask."
Mingjia originally planned to purchase products, but because he temporarily decided to give priority to trading with Duojie's caravan, Mingjia gave up the plan of purchasing things and simply visited the Cang'er County market.
In the evening, Cheng Si first arranged for Ming Jia to rest, and told Shuang'er to stay close to her. Cheng Si walked out of the yard with the goods list, and Cheng Si took the initiative to knock on the door of Dorje's yard.
Ming Jia once said to Cheng Si, "Human! Those who go out have their own identities." So Cheng Si gave himself the identity of a Central Plains businessman.
Cheng Si was welcomed into the house and saw Dorje and the Han man sitting together drinking tea. They both stood up and invited Cheng Si to sit down and drink tea together.
"Cheng Si, please sit down!" Huo Zelin invited Cheng Si generously.
But the other party's "Cheng Siye" startled Cheng Si, "Do you know me?"
Huo Zelin smiled frankly, "Huo happened to be in Dianzhou City on the Mid-Autumn Festival." Huo Zelin said very vaguely, but it was enough to make Cheng Si's face instantly turn red to his ears.
Huo Zelin and Dorje looked at each other, and laughed out loud in a friendly and teasing way.
Cheng Si calmed down for a while before turning his head to look at Huo Zelin again. He raised his hands and saluted, "Cheng Si, may I ask how you call me brother?"
Huo Zelin and Dorje looked at each other again. Finally, he lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment. He raised his hands and saluted and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Cheng. I'm Huo Zelin, I'm just a businessman."
Just as Cheng Si was about to say something, King Kong Dorje, who was sitting next to him, couldn't wait to speak, "Aren't you the guard of that official in Daliang? Why are you here? Why does the imperial court want to get involved in this line of business?"
If Huo Zelin was very polite just now, then Dorje's attitude is very bad now. Cheng Si's hands, which were originally placed casually on his knees, were instantly strengthened, and his whole body became alert.
Huo Zelin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Fourth Master Cheng, Dorje is not a Han nationality. He just cannot learn Chinese, and his words are not measured. Don't be angry."
When he saw Cheng Si in the lobby yesterday, Huo Zelin felt that Cheng Si looked familiar. Today at the market, Huo Zelin, who was busy collecting goods, saw Cheng Si again and immediately remembered who this person was.
Before Cheng Si arrived, Dorje and Huo Zelin were discussing and speculating on the reason why Cheng Si would appear in Cang'er County.
In fact, there has been a tea and horse trade in Dianzhou for a long time. At that time, the Central Plains imperial court once set up a silk horse department to specifically manage this business.
Because it is forbidden to trade with gold, silver or copper coins, you can only barter. Moreover, the favorite business of the imperial court at that time was to replace horses with silk cloth.
However, starting from the previous Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court gradually lost jurisdiction over Dianzhou. The Tubo Dynasty also had jurisdiction over Dianzhou City, and later there was an uprising in Nanzhao.
Therefore, the tea-horse trading business in Dianzhou has been left unattended for many years.
These caravans do not need to pay taxes to any political power, but they have to have some contact with the military camps on the border within Daliang. When you arrive in Tubo, you need to take care of the lamas in various temples.
Dianzhou City is now the intersection of goods from the Central Plains and goods from the Tubo Dynasty and Nanzhao Kingdom, but most of the business is smuggling business without paying taxes.
Cheng Si has been in Dianzhou for a while. Although he spent most of his time in the government office, he didn't know anything about it. Seeing Dorje's attitude, Cheng Si knew that Dorje might have misunderstood.
"My family has just arrived in Dianzhou, and now it's almost the Spring Festival for us Han people. We adults just want me to buy some special products to give New Year's gifts to relatives and friends."
Huo Zelin didn't believe Cheng Si's words. The annual gift could obviously be purchased in Dianzhou City.
Cheng Si found that after he explained, the other party still didn't believe it, so he had to continue explaining.
"Our mistress is kind-hearted and works as a cook in the government office. She said that their village is too remote and ordinary merchants cannot visit it. The goods are good and cheap but no one knows about them."
Cheng Si felt that it was a good thing that he thought about these remarks before coming, otherwise today would be a bit difficult to explain.
After hearing Cheng Si's explanation, Huo Zelin suddenly laughed and told Cheng Si that everything was a misunderstanding. At the same time, he winked at Dorje and asked Dorje to apologize quickly.
Cheng Si also understood the interaction between Dorje and Huo Zelin. Dorje pretended to be honest, but was actually a very cunning businessman.
"I came here today to exchange some goods with you. There are two roads back to Dianzhou from here. The shortcut is too steep for my people to walk, so we plan to take a long way back..."
When Cheng Si saw that the two people on the other side were cooperating very well, he knew that there was no need to continue chatting with them. If he was not careful, he might be tricked.
Cheng Si directly handed over his product list. Since everything was agreed, he didn't worry about the other party deliberately lowering the price or shoddy goods.
Huo Zelin recalled the first time he walked on the mountain road, and he believed Cheng Si's words.
Huo Zelin reached out and took the list handed over by Cheng Si, and found that they were all good goods! The quality is obviously better than the products they exchanged at the market today.
"We also returned our things very early and returned to Dianzhou City to send this batch of goods to other cities and towns to sell before the Chinese New Year. If Fourth Master Cheng is willing to help us replace them as soon as possible, we would be happy!"
