Chapter 182 Trading

With wood as the pillar wall and tiles as the roof, Yangshan, the residence of the Liangjing Village leader, only lacks two walls compared to Luo Feng's house.

Even if the villagers in the village are poor, Yangshan, as the leader of the village, will definitely not be much poorer.

"Master Yangzhai, I can provide you with salt and allow you to use grain, mountain goods, medicinal materials, wood, etc. to offset the salt payment, but you must deliver these goods to Hanshou yourself and then transport the salt back."

In the spacious main hall of the Yang family, Han Duan and Yang Shan sat opposite each other across a short table, and negotiated on selling salt.

Yang Shan nodded and said, "No problem. In addition to grain, there are all mountain goods, wood and medicinal materials. We ship them directly to Hanshou."

"There is no limit on the types of mountain medicinal materials, but you must have good goods. As long as I can build a good hardwood, the prices of all goods will be based on the market price. I will not take advantage of you. By the way, before I entered the village, I saw a lot of wood on the hillside on the roadside. Have you squeezed tea oil?"

"Jenmu? Tea oil?"

"One mile away from your village, the fruiting piece is called Yuanmu, also known as the oil tea tree. The oil squeezed from the oil tea seeds can be eaten or used as a medicinal material, which has the therapeutic effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain."

Yang Shan then realized, "What the head of the Han family is talking about is that camellia forest? We use its seeds to cure bloating, and we also use it to squeeze oil to make ointment, but we have never tried it when we eat it."

"That's not a camellia forest." Han Duan smiled and said, "The history of tea oil consumption can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. The Shanhai Jing said: 'Zunmu, southern oil food'. This Yuanmu refers to the oil tea tree."

Yang Shan said: "It's okay to eat it or not. Head of the Han family, if we trade tea oil, how do we calculate the price?"

"How about sesame oil?"

Before the emergence of vegetable oil, people ate animal oil. During the Western Han Dynasty, after Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to bring back sesame seeds, a hawker specializing in sesame oil appeared, but during this period, sesame oil was only used for lighting lamps.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, sesame oil began to be consumed in large quantities, and the price was more expensive than grain. Yangshan heard that tea oil could be sold at the price of sesame oil, so how could there be any disagreement?

"I also want to ask the Master Yang to do a favor." After the prices of various goods were negotiated, Han Duan made another request.

If it was just a matter of trading, Han Duan would not have talked to him for so long. The purpose of talking for so long was to ask Yang Shan to help him recruit the Barbarians.

"It was originally a good thing that you and I want to do, but now it seems like I am trafficking in humans. I wonder if the leader of the Yang Village can match me with it? If the matter is done, I will thank you very much."

Yang Shan was all about selling salt and selling huge profits. He heard this and asked casually: "How many divisions do the head of the Han family need to recruit?"

"It's enough for two thousand people."

"Two thousand people?" Yang Shan frowned, then asked again: "Is Shengman okay? If it is available, I will contact someone to pick up a group of people and sell them to the head of the Han family. Don't worry, the price is absolutely cheap."

Han Duan quickly shook his hand: "Master Yang Village, I recruit troops, what I want is a mutual willingness. If I need slaves, why should I run to Yiling?"

Yang Shan smiled bitterly when he heard this, "There are too many two thousand people. If you only recruit in Yushui, it would be a bit difficult to deal with."

"The recruitment can be done as much as you can, and it is not limited to 水水, Chen water and You water. But you must be able to speak Chinese, at least you must be able to understand."

When Han Duan heard what he said, he smiled, "In one month, the recruited people can take them to Hanshou. For every ten young and strong people aged fifteen to thirty, I will give you a stone of salt."

"I will not treat the people recruited badly. As long as they become my subordinate, they will have all food and clothing, and pay 200 yuan a month. If you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded separately, and there will be pensions for casualties."

Each person's monthly salary is 200. If there are thousands or tens of thousands of divisions, the salary will be 1 or 2 million yuan per month, which is not considered other expenses.

Although I heard Li Hu say that the Han family is rich a few days ago, Yang Shan was still secretly shocked when he heard Han Duan say it lightly.

Over the past year, the only care for the stakes is tens of millions of dollars. I heard that his family also has various workshops, workshops, caravans and farms.

How rich is the Han family?

These thoughts just flashed, and Yang Shan immediately began to calculate his own accounts.

Ten people exchange for one stone of salt, hundreds of people will be ten stones, and thousands of people will be hundreds of stones. If you sell all this salt, how much money will you make? Hundreds of thousands or one million?

He hasn't seen so much money in his life!

"Head Han, I'll help you with this matter! Within a month, I'll help you recruit at least 1,000 people!"

Han Duan laughed and said, "Then thank Master Yang for the first time! Don't worry, every time you send a group of people to Hanshou, salt can be taken away immediately. Even if you recruit 2,300 people, don't be afraid that I can't take out the salt!"

"One word is certain!"

"One word is certain!"

I was originally planning to give up recruiting troops in Yiling, but I didn't expect that after a trip to Liangjing Village, I would completely solve this matter.

If he had known this, why would he have asked the troops to go back and contact him? It would have caused a disaster now.

It has been nearly a month since Yiling came out, and the recruitment of troops has also resulted. Han Duan was in a hurry to go to Xiangzhou, but before that, he had to summon everyone first.

Yang Shan would have to make a fortune on Han Duan in the future. Therefore, as soon as Han Duan told him about this, he immediately arranged for people to deliver letters to several villages, and also asked two flexible servants to go to the county town to inquire about the news.

Just after noon, the two people who went to the county town returned to Liangjing Village, and the news they brought also made Han Duan quite pleased.

Luo Feng indeed brought people to Didian last night, but Wen Huanhu and the salt diners shot more than a dozen people to death on the spot. The two sides confronted each other all night. By the time today, Luo Feng went to Zhong Jun to borrow reinforcements and broke into the door, but the didian was empty.

"This old thief must have thought the head of the Han family was an ordinary merchant and wanted to come to cheat some money, but he didn't expect that he would give him more than a dozen lives." Yang Shan laughed gloatingly, and Han Duan also said: "There is no way to be misfortune and good fortune, but he can only summon him. I won't go to find him, but he wants to mess with me."

"If I come to Yiling again in the future, I will definitely kill this dog thief first."

Since the salt diners had escaped from Yiling City, Han Duan had no worries anymore. After eating and feeding, he pulled a bamboo mat to lay it under the eaves and slept soundly.

After sleeping until the time of the day, Cai Shugu woke him up: "Everyone has arrived, and if you want to leave and stay, you are waiting for the orders of the man-master."

"Of course I have to leave!" Han Duan got up, took the cloth handed over by Han Ying and wiped his face, and suddenly felt much more awake.

"Get off immediately and set off overnight tonight!"

After saying goodbye to Yangshan, a group of forty or fifty people in the new and old corps were energetic and rushed to the road. When they arrived outside Yiling City, Han Duan ordered Li Hu to bring people into the city to buy a lot of dried fruit cakes as dry food on the road.

Walking downstream along the water for two miles, I finally arrived at the agreed river berth and saw my "special train".
