I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 476 One hundred thousand silver silk silk (one more)

  Celestial silk is precious, it can keep its natural green color without dyeing, and it shines like an emerald.

  In the modern life of Baicaoshi, the economic value of celestial silk is 30 times that of mulberry silk and 50 times that of tussah silk. Because the output is extremely low, it is usually only used for embellishment on silk fabrics.

  The fiber structure of celestial silk is very similar to a diamond, with strong refraction, shining brightly like a gemstone. The royal family likes to wear silk dresses when they attend grand ceremonies, which is a symbol of wealth and status.

   What Baicao Poetry is looking for is another characteristic of silkworm silk, which is soft but indestructible. She plans to use silk silk to create a fashionable armor for Zhe Yu.

  Thinking of this, she said to Jiu Niang: "Make an appointment with the merchants in Baishan Heishui, and I will talk to them in person. Tell them not to rush to sell, I want everything."

   Two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, equivalent to half a palace, and Jiuniang knows that the blue and white shop alone cannot control this fee.

  Questioning is not something Jiu Niang would do. In the past time, she has learned to believe in miracles, and believe that Baicao Poetry can create miracles.

"good."

  Baicaoshi thought for a while, "Speak to Shinichi and let him walk with me."

   If there is no agreement, appropriate deterrence of force is required. She looks too violent, I don't want Zhe Yu to see her.

  Of course, I also hope to surprise Oruha.

  The meeting with the Black Mountain and Baishui merchants was on the evening of the sixth day of September.

  The other party came with four people, each of them tall and burly. The one in the lead had a curly beard and a mighty face. The neckline was slightly open, and a little tattoo could be seen faintly.

   It looks like a wolf head.

  Baicaoshi wore a curtain fence, Zhenyilou and Fubao attended together.

   Oh, why bring Fubao.

  Because Fu Bao followed her closely when she went out today. Baicaoshi didn't want to take it, so it bit her skirt with its teeth.

  Baicaoshi did nothing, patted the wolf's head, "Then Fubao is good, be obedient, and when you get there, lower your head and pretend to be a docile dog, okay?"

  At the beginning of the negotiation, you must show sincerity. If they brought aggressive wolves, the other party would mistakenly think that they were going to kill and rob.

   Fu Bao licked his nose and agreed.

   Zhenyi lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. How can there be such an interesting person in the world?

  The two sides sat opposite each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.

  Baicao Poetry cuts to the point.

"Brother Wanyan, there are not many people who can eat such a large amount of silk in Yanjing, but I am the one who knows what to buy. Two hundred thousand taels is a bit of a big deal. One hundred thousand taels, I will take it. "

  The boss of the other party's businessman was surnamed Wanyan, with a single name in one state. For Baicaoshi to be a woman, he still looked at it for a long time. He looked at her contemptuously, and said in an extremely wild tone, "Really? Brothers have been doing business, traveling all over the world for so many years, and met a lot of rich and powerful people. I have never been like a girl who bargained half the price when I came up. What is the sincerity?"

He held his teacup and played casually, "As far as I know, Pei's firm is the richest. If I release the news, I believe they will find them soon and take away all these silks that are as bright as jewels." .”

   Very good, it actually involved the Pei family.

  In terms of background, Baicao Poetry is not comparable to this kind of family of thousands of generations, but Baicao Poetry has its own killer.

Her eyes rolled around, her white teeth lightly smiled and said: "Mr. Wanyan probably doesn't know that the Pei family is split, and the number one Confucian businessman Yuan Xian who worked for the Pei family was almost killed by the Pei family. The rest are all These are martial arts lunatics who don’t understand business. Rather than expecting them to buy your silk, I’m more inclined that they will chop off your heads and take your silk.”

   "What is the basis for the survival of an ancient family? It lies in not obeying the rules, in having a knife and a sword in hand, and being ruthless and ruthless."

   Just a few words are enough to impress Wanyanzhou. The contempt in his heart just now has completely disappeared.

"Even if the Pei family can't do it, I still have other options. One, sell them loosely and enter the auction house. Maybe you can sell them at a higher price; go through Beirong and Xiliang, and transport them to Dashi. They use oriental silk as their main product. Rong."

   This time it was Baicaoshi's turn to be shocked. She has met Hu people in Yanjing and Wanzhou, but she has almost zero contact with countries like Persia and Dashi that only exist in modern history books. So, there is also the Silk Road in this era?

   While he was thinking about it, Shinichi, who had been silent all the time, said, "If you have the strength to pass through the blockade of Beirong and Xiliang, and pass through the den of tigers and wolves, I will call you a hero."

  Shinichi's words awakened Baicaoshi.

  A nomadic people like Beirong, how easy is it? In order to survive, burn, kill and loot. In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, wasn't it just to open up a route that the Turks couldn't get their hands on?

Baicaoshi curled her lips into a smile, "The business of Tiancansi can't be negotiated, but we can still cooperate. In this way, shopkeeper Wanyan, you go to Dashi, and I will sell you a batch of blue and white porcelain at the cost price. When you arrive at Dashi, you can sell as much as you want , I just want to spread the word. How?"

  Such an open condition makes Wan Yanzhou how to count in a moment of anger? In case of being buried in Beirong, the gain outweighs the loss.

   "Madam is straightforward, and I'm not hypocritical. One hundred thousand taels can't be won, and one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver and goods will be paid."

   "120,000 taels, no more."

   "One hundred and fifty thousand taels, madam really want us to cut the flesh? Between the white mountains and black waters, there are not many lands suitable for silkworms to live in."

   "120,000 taels, I will add another batch of blue and white porcelain garments. You must know that blue and white porcelain is sought after by nobles no matter in Dayan or Song Dynasty."

  Already close to Baicaoshi's psychological bottom line, she began to gather. Also buy time, because it takes time to make armor from silk these days.

   "Deal." Wanyanzhou Road.

  **

  In the following time, Baicaoshi ordered the blue and white workshop to stop producing blue and white porcelain, and to produce silkworm clothes on the whole line. She drew and designed it herself, and made a set of underwear and a silkworm armor for Zhe Yu. Zhenyi is a silkworm armor, Zheyu's direct subordinates, including Da Chonglou, Xiao Chonglou, and Li Jianping. As for the soldiers under the command, something similar to the silkworm mirror was built, and the principle is equivalent to the heart mirror.

   Half a month later, Baicaoshi got the finished product.

   Then, with dark circles under her eyes, she hugged Zhe Yu before going to bed.

  At that time, Oriha came out of the bathroom wearing a nightgown. Seeing Baicaoshi hiding her hands behind her back, she said mysteriously, "Take off your clothes."

  Zhe Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, a little proud and joyful, "If you take it off again, you will lose everything. Are you sure?"

   This doesn't sound right, but Baicaoshi is eager to ask for credit, "This is close-fitting, you'd better..."

  Zhe Yu directly embraced her in his arms, releasing the smell of spiced bath beans, and took the silkworm clothes. "Oh, my lady, this is really... quite a luxury."
