"Then if I can provide you with 10,000 cows after spring, can you raise the price slightly?" Jin Chenbai directly stated his purpose.
"I still don't know where your Heerda Speed ??Department is." Liu Mingqi said, "After I buy your cows, can you successfully send them to Dakang for me? What if it is better than if I entrusted them to buy them? If it¡¯s troublesome, I¡¯m afraid the price won¡¯t be cheaper.¡±
"Our Heerda express department is located near the Heishui River in the northeast of Qiyan Plateau, which is a bit far from Dakang. However, we can guarantee that the cows will be delivered to Zhangjiakou smoothly, and you can receive the goods there. ." Jin Chenbai said.
The northeastern part of Qiyan Plateau?
Doesn¡¯t that mean we are getting closer to Manzhouli?
Liu Mingqi thought about it and said, "Cash on delivery, that's fair. How much do you want?"
"We know that the quotation they gave you is thirty taels of silver." Jin Chenbai said, "We will transport it to Zhangjiakou, how about you give us twenty-five taels of silver?"
Twenty taels of silver is needed to get to Zhangjiakou and transported all the way to the Imperial Capital. The freight and expenses along the way can be solved by spending only three taels of silver.
After all, it¡¯s twenty taels cheaper than selling directly to those merchants.
But this was not enough to impress Liu Mingqi. He shook his head and said, "If I only save a few thousand taels of silver, I don't need to go to such trouble."
"Okay, how about twenty-two taels of silver?" Jin Chenbai said, "But I have a condition."
He dropped three taels of silver in one breath, which actually resulted in a loss of thirty thousand taels of silver.
In a poor place like the grassland, thirty thousand taels of silver is a lot.
Liu Mingqi said calmly: "What are your conditions first?"
"We would like to pay half of the payment for this batch of goods in advance and then replace it with briquettes. Do you think that's okay?" Jin Chenbai said.
Briquettes?
Liu Mingqi was slightly surprised when he heard this, but not surprised at all.
Although it has been almost two years since he came to this era, many of his living habits and ideas are still in the modern era.
For example, there is no cruel winter situation in the modern world. Liu Mingqi never thought that every year in the cold northern zone, not only tens of millions of livestock would freeze to death, but also tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even dozens of livestock would freeze to death. Ten thousand lives.
The northernmost part of Dakang, that is, the Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou defense lines, is only the southernmost part of the three northeastern provinces, and it is not even the coldest.
In the two northern provinces, plus Qiyan Plateau, Northwest Xiqiang, etc., the temperature is at least 20 to 30 degrees below zero in winter, which is definitely not a place for normal people to stay.
This way you can also understand why those grassland people want to take over the Central Plains.
They also want a warm place to spend the winter and not die in winter!
Therefore, Liu Mingqi immediately understood Jin Chenbai¡¯s intention of asking for briquettes.
To be honest, briquettes are definitely a myth.
Not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, it was extremely effective.
Usually, a home can be completely kept warm with two or three briquettes a day. Even if it is used to boil water for cooking, five or six are more than enough.
???????? Calculated, that¡¯s a maximum of twelve liters a day.
Even if you use it every day, for about sixty days in a winter, it is only 720 yuan.
This kind of necessary emergency reserve is something every family must have.
Liu Mingqi calculated that the money was not much at all and basically every household could afford it.
If you can¡¯t afford it, you can reduce the dosage by half and get through the winter without any problem.
If it were any less
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Liu Mingqi really can¡¯t take care of it so carefully now.
Compared to these inland towns in the north, if there is actually no snowstorm, that would be okay.
For example, people in Sichuan, Lianghu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places basically use briquettes for cooking and part-time heating.
It¡¯s different in the north, where something like briquettes is necessary to help survive the winter.
Since they are all like this, one can only imagine what kind of functions briquettes can have in places further north and closer to Siberia!
An absolute god-defying creature!
Around the Spring Festival this year, briquettes showed their power, and then the news spread around.
"However, briquettes are not very useful in the summer. Many people are still willing to go to the mountains to cut firewood for burning. After all, a briquette costs two cents, and that is money!
Only in winter, it is not convenient to burn firewood in the house.??That courtesan, the two of them almost got stuck together! What is the future of a man who is greedy for beauty? "
To put it bluntly, Jin Chenbai is not in a hurry to do things according to Mr. Feng¡¯s suggestion.
This is no joke, with the current strength of his tribe, it is far from enough to plan anything big.
Mr. Feng also acknowledged what Jin Chenbai said.
But he knew that Liu Mingqi was not that simple at all.
But now is not the best time to speak. We have to wait until we have a chance.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time.
"Business talks went very smoothly today. This Liu Mingqi is indeed a businessman." Jin Chenbai said with a smile, "He decided on such a big deal casually. He would never dare to do this without any courage and confidence. "
"He should be the richest man in Dakang. He doesn't care about this money at all. What he cares about are cows and horses." Mr. Feng said, "But he definitely didn't think that these money and these briquettes would What a boost it will bring to your Majesty¡¯s career.¡±
"Haha, he doesn't understand our grassland. Dakang is still too rich. He has no idea how much suffering we have on the grassland"
As he spoke, Jin Chenbai¡¯s eyes flew to nowhere.
Mr. Feng also sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that this place is not too far from Datong and we need to save enough for freight, we could have spent 140,000 taels of silver on briquettes."
They asked for half of the amount to be settled in advance, which was 140,000 taels of silver, but they only bought briquettes for 100,000 taels of silver. The remaining 40,000 taels were used for freight and emergencies.
Jin Chenbai came back to his senses, "Don't worry about it, just give what you deserve With this transaction, after we have done such a big thing, do we still have to worry about not having money to buy briquettes next time?"
After a pause, he continued: "Dakang is such a chosen place! Not only does it have such a fertile land, it produces so much food, it also has tea, silk, porcelain, and now it also has briquettes, soap, toilet paper, sugar ¡Wait a minute for these treasures! Why can¡¯t we have them, you say? Shouldn¡¯t we beggars enjoy the beauty of the world?¡±
"There will be such a day, Your Majesty!" Mr. Feng said with a smile, "Aren't we working hard towards this?"
"Um."
Jin Chenbai nodded, "Everything is ready on the other side of the border. Nothing will go wrong, right?"
"No." Mr. Feng said, "Before we came to Dakang, they had already practiced imitation. Plus, isn't there a large forest over there? It's easy to get materials. In addition, General Chierzhe is over there. Sitting in charge, who dares to make a mistake?"
"Hope it goes well!"
Jin Chenbai is a calm person, but he couldn't help clenching his fists at this time: "Just this time just this time"
His words gradually became darker, but the excitement and nervousness were still visible.
Mr. Feng looked at him, with a faint smile on his mouth outside the mask.
If you don¡¯t succeed, wouldn¡¯t it mean that all my efforts have been in vain?

Yesterday, when I was replying to everyone¡¯s comments, I saw an old man saying that "Shi Shuo" quoted too many words, which was a waste of subscription money.
On this point, since I started writing books at Qidian, whether it is "Rebirth: The Strongest Life" with an average order of over 10,000, or "A Dream Era" with an order of 5,000, or "I Know Everything" with an order of 1,800, there are also In this book, any words that involve quoting lyrics, articles, or poems are included in the free word count. The starting point is 334 words that count as 1 cent. I usually control it around 280 or 300. You can read these for free.
Don¡¯t worry, I only make money by writing books, just for a little while at most. It¡¯s impossible to use these to defraud money. You are poor, but you must at least have backbone~~~(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
