Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 88 Get rich!
Shen Xun saluted General Li and said politely: "No one has contacted them. It's just that when we were in danger, we prayed to the gods in our hearts for protection, hoping that the gods would help the Han army, so a lot of supplies appeared around us."

"Is that really the case?" asked an aide.

Chen Wuhou glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "If you don't believe me, you can ask all the soldiers under my command."

The staff said nothing more.

"Okay, you go out." General Li signaled Shen Xun to step aside, and he was ready to discuss the war with his subordinates.

Now that they had food and grass, the general ordered his left and right deputy generals to lead their subordinates to attack the Huns. After all, the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Han army.

Only by driving away the Huns can the expeditionary army return to the court to report as soon as possible, which is also what the general hopes for.

After all, the Western Regions are too barren, desolate and extremely cold. The entire army could be wiped out if one is not careful. General Li Yu does not want to lose his life here.

Shen Xun returned to the tent and wrote a letter and tied it to the keychain, waiting for his sister to take it back.

Shen Zhao was broadcasting live while holding a small bronze mirror.

Today, she followed her second brother Shen Heng to the market to complain about her brother's live broadcast of the living scenes of the garrison soldiers.

"Fuck! This is really ancient times! Hey! Can you go to the city and buy some bronze artifacts next time?"

The complaining brother believed the video scene 60% of the time, and kept giving Shen Zhao advice: "Let me tell you, if you have a bronze ware, no matter what it is, I will buy it, and it will definitely be a high price!"

Shen Zhao covered his face with a wool scarf. He quietly placed the small bronze mirror next to his mouth and said, "I will go to the county town when I have time. You have seen the market now, so hurry up and fulfill your promise."

The complaining brother was speechless for a long time before he said, "I will only buy that dagger. I will ask people to come over and buy the rest."

"Okay! I hope you won't break your promise." Shen Zhao said and turned off the live broadcast.

Afterwards, the gem-encrusted dagger with a sheath was sold, and his account balance instantly became 780,000.

Shen Zhao was almost going crazy with joy and bought several goats in succession.

Then I saw a man selling a horse, so I immediately ran over to ask the price: "How old is your horse?"

"Four years old." The soldier who sold the horse opened the horse's mouth to show her to prove that what he said was true.

Shen Zhao touched the horse's mane and asked again: "How much?"

Selling horses to the garrison soldiers: "Six thousand five hundred coins."

Shen Zhao was shocked: "It's so expensive? Can it be cheaper?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "It can't be cheap. This horse is a Wusun horse and it has just reached adulthood. If I wasn't short of money at the end of the year, I wouldn't have brought it here to sell."

"Then are your horses registered?" All horses raised by the people must be registered with the government to facilitate the government's borrowing.

A horse without a registration means it was stolen and the owner will be sentenced if caught.

The garrison soldier took out a piece of wood from his bosom and showed it to Shen Zhao: "Of course there is a record. Can you see it clearly, girl?"

Shen Zhao glanced over the words on the wood and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the city clerk to register for the shift."

Shen Heng also came over and asked, "A Zhao, do you really want to buy a horse?" This was not a small amount of money. His father had been a village head for many years and he didn't have a horse.

"Yes, with a horse, it will be much more convenient for you to go from home to the inn." Shen Zhao carefully checked the horse to prevent it from having any problems.

Shen Heng immediately laughed: "Really for me? You're not kidding your second brother, are you?"

"How could that be possible? Our family should have had a horse a long time ago. I'll buy one for you today. When I find a good horse, I'll buy one for dad." Shen Zhao said with a smile.

Anyway, she is rich now, more than 700,000 Naira, it is just like a dream. If she doesn't spend it early, she is afraid that it will be gone suddenly one day.

But right now there are so limited places to spend money that Shen Zhao doesn’t even know what to buy?
How about withdrawing the cash to buy a title for my father? But buying a title also requires a reliable person to recommend it, otherwise I wouldn't know where to give the money even if I had a lot of it.

Shen Heng scratched his head: "A Zhao, how much money did you make? Why are you so lavish?"

"Guess?" Shen Zhao followed the garrison soldiers to the city official to sign the contract, and his second brother followed beside him.

Shen Heng: "How can I guess?" He had no idea about numbers and had no idea how much money his sister made.

Because his sister often bought rice, flour and vegetables for the family, and she also built an inn and bought a lot of goods to pile in the inn's warehouse, he thought his sister should not have much money.

Shen Zhao said proudly: "If you can't guess, don't ask. I will tell you when my elder brother comes back."

"Why do we have to wait for him to come back?" Shen Heng was a little dissatisfied.

Shen Zhao said softly, "We are at the city clerk's place, don't say anything more."

Shen Heng immediately shut his mouth and stood behind his sister, watching the clerk write the deed.

For any transaction in the market, if the amount exceeds 2,000 coins, you must come here to sign a deed and pay taxes, and the total tax is calculated at 120 coins per 2,000 coins.

For a horse worth 6,500 coins, the tax alone would be 420 coins.

Of course, the horse trading tax was not paid by Shen Zhao, but by the horse seller.

After getting the sales deed and adding the buyer Shen Ang's name to the horse's register, the horse finally belonged to the family.

Shen Heng was so happy that he immediately rode it for a spin, which made his friends envious.

"Second brother, next time you go to the county town and see a saddle, buy one and put it on." Shen Zhao reminded.

She had just walked around the entire market and didn't see any saddles for sale, so she guessed she could only buy them in the county town.

Shen Heng agreed, stretched out his hand to pull his sister onto the horse, and let her sit behind him.

The brown horse was very gentle, and it didn't kick its back even with two people sitting on its back. Shen Heng was so happy that he immediately gave the horse a name: "I'll call you Dahuang. You'll be mine from now on!"

After riding around, Shen Zhao got off the horse, waited for A Shi and his friends to close their stall, and then walked back leading the goats he had bought.

Business is not very good today. Not many cotton coats and trousers were sold.

The main reason is that the soldiers cannot afford it, because not every family can come up with two or three hundred coins at one time.

Shen Zhao looked at the garrison soldiers coming and going. Most of them were still wearing thin and ragged clothes, their pants were torn and short, and they didn't even have warm shoes on their feet.

A trace of pity suddenly arose in her heart.

Perhaps because he no longer has to worry about food and drink, when he sees old people suffering from hunger and cold, he thinks of his parents.

Or, just lower the price of cotton clothes?
Originally, they were sold to A'si and his men at 200 coins each, but now they will be sold at 100 coins each.

But I couldn’t have any less pants and shoes, the purchase price was very high and I didn’t make much profit to begin with.

After returning to the inn, Shen Zhao waited for the young men to arrive. He collected the remaining goods they had sold and took out a bag of old cotton clothes and said, "This bag of cotton clothes is cheap. The large ones are 100 coins each, and the children's ones are 50 coins each. You should lower the price accordingly in the future."

"Wow! Really?" The boys immediately gathered around to check the coat.

They thought the cheap cotton coats would be old and ugly, but when they took a closer look, they were not much different from before.

So several young men looked at Shen Zhao with confusion in their eyes.
