The Warring States Period: Global Online

Chapter 108 Trading ()

For Lucheng, every point of luck is hard-earned, and the price of this war horse has far exceeded Lucheng's psychological expectations.

But Lucheng didn't have a better way to get the horse at this time, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

At this time, he said: "I want to buy fifty mares and fifty stallions, all of which are domesticated Mongolian horses. I don't know if it is possible."

"Don't worry, as long as the transaction is completed, these horses will be sent to Wuyang City as scheduled." Wen Shao also nodded when he heard it, and at the same time he felt awe-inspiring.

This transaction alone is as high as 170 gold coins. This is not a small amount. Many small forces can't afford so many gold coins even if they fight their fortunes.

Besides, this is the first transaction, Wen Shao is somewhat looking forward to what Lucheng will buy next.

On the other side, after Lucheng got the war horse, he thought about it for a while, but he wanted to buy salt.

For the purchase of table salt, Lucheng was prepared and knew that the price must be very expensive.

You know, there was a saying in ancient times that "once there is a catty of salt for rice", not to mention that in the current world, the scarcity of table salt is even more serious.

With this mentality in mind, Lucheng asked tentatively: "I wonder if the Shen family has salt?"

"What the envoy wants is sea salt? If it's sea salt, Shao can ship some." Wen Shao also spoke after hearing this.

There are many types of table salt owned by the Shen family caravan, including sea salt, lake salt, mineral salt (brine), etc. However, due to the different manufacturing difficulties, the quantity is also different. Generally speaking, the quantity of sea salt is more.

That's why Wen Shao asked this question. After all, if you want to buy salt, sea salt is relatively cheaper.

"Exactly, I want to buy sea salt, but what is the price?"

"If you buy it, a catty of sea salt is worth one silver coin."

"One silver coin? What about the rice?" After hearing this, Lucheng felt a little gloomy. One silver coin is worth ten points of luck, and buying a ton of salt would cost twenty thousand points of luck.

This price is no different from stealing money. It is impossible to take advantage of this kind of money anyway. Asking the price of rice at this time is also to remind the other party not to raise the price on the ground.

Regarding Lucheng's question, Wen Shao naturally heard the implication, and knew that Lucheng must be unhappy at this time.

But Wen Shao can't do anything about it, the price has been set by the Shen family caravan before, and it's extremely difficult to win in his position, unless it's possible to buy in large quantities.

Thinking of this, Wen Shao bit the bullet and replied: "Master, the price of rice is ten catties and one copper coin."

"One copper coin for ten catties? That's a hundred times, a whole hundred times!" Thinking of this ratio in his heart, Lu Cheng couldn't help but said, "Do you think that salt can save your life? Such a price is really unbelievable."

"Don't be surprised, Shijun, this price is not just for Shijun's family, the price is the same in every state in the world, Shao also obeys orders." Knowing that he is lying, Wen Shao can only say so, and he can't say it because of you The power is small and not taken seriously, so the price is high!

But at this time, Wen Shao really wanted to trade with Wuyang City. One was for gold coins, and the other was optimistic about Wuyang City. If Wuyang City could really develop, it would be enough to resist those big forces, and it would be his own "performance" .

At this time, he said: "If Shi Jun can buy in large quantities, Shao can decide to adjust the price."

"Oh? How much is the five thousand catties worth?"

"Five thousand catties? You really want to buy five thousand catties?"

"That's natural, how could I deceive you."

After hearing the exact answer, Wen Shao was relieved that this amount met the requirements of "price reduction".

After thinking about it, Wen Shao offered a price.

"If so, the envoy can buy it with 350 gold coins."

"350 gold coins? Is this the reserve price?" He murmured in his heart, Lucheng was still not satisfied with this price, but at this time the territory had reached the point where there was no salt.

Due to the lack of salt for a long time, some weaker residents in the territory have more or less developed some symptoms.

For example, weakness in limbs, dizziness, etc., Lucheng knew in his heart that this was only the beginning, after a long time, even strong and strong people would have this phenomenon.

In more severe cases, symptoms such as vomiting, weak pulse, and vision loss may even occur, which is already very dangerous.

To be honest, if there were no such symptoms, it would be impossible for Lucheng to spend such a large price on the purchase.

But the situation was stronger than others, and Lucheng had no choice but to reply at this time: "I agree to this price, but the Shen family caravan must transport the salt to Wuyang City as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Shaoding will do his best."

After hearing Wen Shao's words, Lucheng also breathed a sigh of relief. After finalizing these two items, 520 five gold coins have already been spent, which is 5 luck points.

Now there are only luck points left in Lucheng, half of which has already been spent.

And next, Lucheng will have to buy wild animals and livestock, and the cost will not be low.

The first is beasts. In the original plan, the number of tiger riders should reach within a year, and the number of wolf riders should reach . As for leopard riders, they can be used as scout troops. Hundreds.

This is still a one-year goal, which is a short-term goal, and more long-term goals require more.

Based on Wuyang City's positioning of beast riders, these beast riders exist as an important supplement to Wuyang City's military strength, so the number cannot be too small.

According to their characteristics and the role they can play on the battlefield.

Lucheng intends to maintain the size of beast riders at around , of which, the number of wolf riders must reach , which happens to be the establishment of a fifth-class miscellaneous army, and the number of tiger riders must reach . The leopard cavalry can be maintained at a scale of two thousand.

As for the larger elephant rider, it depends on luck, and it is no longer planned at this time.

Of course, Lucheng will not be too ambitious and go directly to complete this scale. Now it is still thinking about arming all the troops first.

But in this way, the gap is not small. Now Wuyang City has a total of 2000 troops. These troops will be the main force to deal with Ma Xiang and Zhao Da, so they must all be transformed into beast cavalry.

Only in this way can there be a slight chance of winning. In this way, the number of wild wolves that Wuyang City needs to buy will reach , and the number of tigers will also need to be .

It is not an easy task to capture these beasts. At the beginning, Wuyang City carried out a major cleaning, but it took more than a month to complete it.

Even so, Wuyang City only got wild wolves and tigers.

Therefore, Lucheng is still a little worried about what price Wen Shao can offer.
