Chapter 739: Selling and Seizing
Just when everyone thought they had made a big profit, a discordant voice appeared, and the person who spoke was Meng Yi.
"No, one million taels is too little. In addition, the items are different, the prices are different, and the captured soldiers are also different. You are so rash, how can I explain to the soldiers.
If you want to do a one-time business, then feel free to be hasty. If you want to do a long-term business, or even want to get the goods as soon as possible in the future, then bid carefully and give me a price for every item.
You all have a list in your hands. Write the price of the items you like on the list. If two people choose an item, the one with the higher price will get it.
If you have to lower the price, then you can go back, and the subsequent buying of sheep and investment in Jiuquan County will have nothing to do with you. "
Facing Meng Yi's aggressive momentum, the businessman smiled and said: "Master Meng Yi misunderstood, I just don't want to waste too much time.
Nowadays, the price of mutton in Xianyang City has reached one tael of silver per catty. A batch of mutton will continue to be delivered to Xianyang City so that the people can afford mutton. "
"You don't have to worry about this. It's just transporting the mutton. Even without you, we can safely deliver the mutton to Xianyang City." Meng Yi said.
The businessman immediately sneered and said, "Sir Meng Yi is right, we can't let the soldiers feel cold. I will inform everyone right now and let everyone make a good bid."
After the businessman left, a veteran scolded: "Damn, I almost thought the price for these grandchildren was too high, but I didn't expect that the price was lowered."
"How can a businessman be called a businessman if he doesn't make a profit? As long as we don't go too far, we will earn the share they should earn. We are not the kind of unreasonable people." Meng Yi said.
Everyone nodded.
Meng Tian said: "Meng Yi, would it waste too much time to let them choose one by one?"
"It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time now." Meng Yi said, "We haven't obtained the place in Jiuquan County yet, so we can only wait for the rest of the time."
"Too."
Later, everyone saw merchants selecting items seized by the soldiers.
I saw each businessman putting the items he liked in a box, and then writing a price on the list. The other businessmen were also very principled. If one businessman wanted an item, the other businessman would never ask about it.
Everything depends on fate and hand speed.
Although there were hundreds of merchants, there were actually millions of items seized, varying in size.
There are thousands of sharp daggers. Some of these daggers are good or bad, and some are even inlaid with gems. The handles and scabbards are made of gold and silver.
At first glance, they look like rich people's gadgets, some even belong to the royal family of the Western Regions, and some are worth thousands of gold, or even ten thousand gold.
Of course, the thousand gold and ten thousand gold referred to here only refer to the weight of copper coins, which can only be converted into tens or hundreds of taels of silver.
This busy work lasts all day.
In the end, all the merchants handed their lists to Meng Yi, and Meng Yi handed the lists to several shopkeepers to calculate the final total price.
No one expected that the final price was more than 1.8 million taels.
While everyone was exclaiming, they called the businessmen a bunch of beasts who only knew how to take advantage. They seized more than 1.8 million taels, but at first they only planned to give away one million taels.
If it weren't for Meng Yi, they would actually think that one million taels was already very high. If the merchant hadn't bought and seized it this time and let them sell it themselves, they might have sold it cheaper.
After Meng Yi saw the total price, he nodded slightly and said, "This price is barely acceptable. Let the merchant take out the money and take away the seizure." ap.
"promise."
Afterwards, boxes after boxes of silver were carried into the camp.
Meng Tian and others drooled when they looked at so much silver. It can be guaranteed that this is the most they have ever seen in their lives.
These pieces of silver are all silver dollars, one silver dollar and half a pound, two silver dollars
These silver coins were originally wrapped in red paper and placed in boxes. Each tube contained twenty silver dollars, which was twelve taels of silver.
One box weighs one thousand tubes, which is 10,000 taels. There are more than 180 boxes on site, and each box requires six people to lift it.
"Marshal, can we distribute the money to the brothers now?" the veteran asked.
"Of course, I'm worried about putting so much money here." Meng Tian said with a smile.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knew that Meng Tian was joking. With a large army guarding him, it was the safest place. Why should Meng Tian be worried?
Meng Yi said: "It is okay to give out money, but the money must be given to the brothers according to the prices on the merchants' lists, and corruption cannot be done at will."
"No." Everyone responded.
Then everyone began to divide the money. After dividing the money, the soldiers were asked to move the money to their own tents and then distribute the money to the brothers.
Han Xin took twenty-one boxes, but it was not 210,000, but more than 25,000 taels, so he took one more box.
Fan Kuai and others saw Gao Xing carrying so many boxes and surrounded him in confusion.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I actually sold it for 210,000 taels. Now I have capital."
He came with the merchants and knew what the merchants' boxes contained.
After Fan Kuai heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Two hundred and one thousand taels, how can we sell so much."
Five thousand people, selling for 210,000 taels, each person can get more than 40 silver on average, which is a huge sum of money.
This was also thanks to Han Xin. He led well and won every battle, so he also captured the most. The more than 200,000 taels were 20,000 more than one-tenth of the total sold.
But their number is only about one-twentieth.
However, the other armies were not jealous, because Han Xin was the vanguard of the army, and they would win every battle. It was not normal to capture more than them.
Moreover, they also seized a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, but all these seizures were sent to Xianyang City.
If they had known that the imperial court had such an arrangement, they would not have sent the cattle, sheep and horses to Xianyang City, and would have simply kept them for themselves.
Han Xin said: "Yes, the money in the box is all the money seized from the sale, totaling more than 25,000 taels.
Zhang Yi, as the shopkeeper, your first task is to distribute the money to the brothers. This is the list. Take a look at it and ask if you have any questions. If there are no questions, then call on the brothers to distribute the money. "
Zhang Yi took the list and looked it over briefly and said, "No problem, I just hope the general can send someone to help me maintain order.
Just leave the rest to me and Wu Fan. I guarantee that all brothers will be satisfied. "
"Okay." Han Xin said, "Fan Kuai, Cao Shen, you two assist Zhang Yi."
"promise."
