Fifty copper coins!
At this time, a bolt of silk cloth was worth two hundred copper coins.
This was the normal price.
But at this moment!
This rotten old man actually offered fifty copper coins?
This …
He could sell it?
And it was a buy one get one free situation!
This …
Was he an idiot?
All the onlookers, the peddlers, the merchants, and even the patrolling soldiers all stopped to watch the show.
Even the patrolling soldiers unsheathed their swords at this moment. As long as this fellow dared to deny his previous words, they dared to swarm up and take this troublemaker to jail, letting him have a taste of what it was like to lie!
Moreover, their families were lacking in food and clothing!
If they could really buy a bolt of cloth at this price, then they …
Would go and snatch one!
Zhang Feng glanced at him with interest before leaving.
The situation here was basically settled.
The merchant was bound to make a killing!
At this moment …
In the crowd, the officials from the Bureau of Works and Bureau of Punishments were anxiously waiting for the merchant to give a reasonable answer!
But at this moment …
That fatty, unexpectedly, agreed!
"Old sir! You are my first customer today! "
"Then as the first customer, the rules of my Abbasid Caliphate are that we will pay whatever you say! Then fifty copper coins. You hand over the money and I hand over the goods, and these two bolts of cloth are yours! "
"Really?"
The old tribal chief was also rather surprised.
And it was a shock!
He had never intended to buy the cloth with this amount of money, but now?
He had actually agreed!
"I'm sure!"
The fatty stood on the carriage once more, raising a bolt of cloth and roaring, "We merchants value our reputation the most. Every mouthful of saliva is a nail in the nail! Since I've agreed, I'll do as I say! "
Everyone's eyes turned red. When they saw the old sir hand over fifty copper coins to the fatty, choose two bolts of cloth from the fatty's carriage, and happily leave, everyone exploded and swarmed forward!
"Boss, I want ten bolts of cloth!"
"I want three bolts!"
"Me too!"
"Me too …"
Everyone began to scramble for the cloth, and the fatty heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the frenzied crowd, he revealed his yellow teeth.
"Everyone, don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Listen to me! "
He didn't take the money. Instead, he slowly said, "This time, it's all because of those damned Guan Long nobles. I don't know what's gotten into them, but they sealed off all the trade routes! Our goods can't be shipped out! And you also know that we came all the way to the Tang Dynasty just to make a living! "
"But unfortunately, we encountered such a situation, so we had no choice but to do this."
"Fatty, what do you mean?"
The people in the crowd were furious.
No one was a fool. When they heard this, everyone instantly came to a realization. Could it be that this bastard wanted to revert to the original price?
"Fatty, this is the Tang Dynasty! If you dare to cheat, I'll let you have a taste of my Chang 'an Local Government! "
The patrolling soldiers in the crowd were angry.
The fatty's face was pale as he waved his hands.
"Sir, please calm down and listen to me carefully!"
Businessmen, especially foreign businessmen, were subject to strict laws in the Tang Dynasty. If they encountered those who cheated or wanted to steal, they would be thrown into prison and expelled from the Tang Dynasty. They would never be allowed to step into the Tang Dynasty again!
This was the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards foreigners!
How could the fatty not be anxious at this time?
He hurriedly explained, "This time, it's our fault! I didn't make it clear before! I just said that this old man is our first customer! Everyone heard that, right? So for this matter, for the first customer, we will usually satisfy his request! But, for the later ones, it's not so bad … "
Under the angry eyes of the crowd, the fatty hurriedly said, "But, the price is still 200 coins per bolt! On this basis, we'll give you a bolt of cloth! It's 100 coins per bolt. Of course, if you want to buy a bolt of cloth, we'll charge 90 coins. That's fine! "
Hearing this, the crowd could not help but frown and slowly calculate.
Most of the people left angrily, but there were still some people who were counting on their fingers, calculating something.
In the end, someone made a move. 90 coins, and he really bought a bolt of cloth!
This time, the people who were still hesitating finally could not help but make a move.
They all made a move.
On the other side.
All the onlooking businessmen frowned thoughtfully and calculated.
Some people even followed the fatty's method. Sure enough, in this way, the things that no one was interested in were instantly sold out!
Even the patrolling soldiers could not help but rush forward to buy.
The figures of the Ministry of Works were hidden in the crowd. From time to time, they would record something in the small notebook in their arms.
On the other side.
There was no such good thing.
This kind of thing only happened among the barbarian businessmen and foreign businessmen who were anxious not to get involved in the internal strife of the Tang Dynasty. But the local businessmen of Chang 'an were miserable.
They did not have any rare goods in their hands. For the foreign businessmen, this was at most a small profit, but not a big loss. But for the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, this was a disaster.
At this time, in the Chang 'an Local Government, the high pile of complaints made the county magistrate's head ache!
When had he ever seen such a thing?
At this time, in the back hall of the county government, the county magistrate, Zhu Dashan, was sweating and pacing back and forth in the room. Beside him, the advisor with a goatee, who was as thin as a monkey, was half-squinting and sitting motionless on the chair.
If it were not for his beard that moved from time to time, everyone would think that he was asleep.
At this time, a yamen runner rushed into the back hall and reported, "Sir! Something happened to Sir! "
Hearing this.
Zhu Dashan and the advisor's eyes twitched.
They asked in unison, "What happened?"
"The Ministry of Works is here!"
