In the eyes of business people, if you have the opportunity to make money, you will definitely not let it go.

Everyone is not stupid. Such iron tools are enough to be considered cheap and affordable. Even if they are collected at this price and sold to other places, such as Annan, even Zhenla, or the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, they will be flocking to 15 or even 200 ci.

Originally, everyone speculated that such good steel was used and that it was so fine that it was natural to open the price to 500 or even 1,000 yuan. After all, everyone is a person who knows the goods. Such steel is afraid that it will take thousands of tempering to make it. The so-called forged steel and thousands of forged steel may not have such a quality. It should be noted that a piece of forged steel will take ten days or even several months, and it requires several craftsmen to forge back and forth. The manpower consumed here can be imagined.

In everyone's common sense, such steel costs a lot, so many people think that Wu Xiong's words were wrong, so some people couldn't help but say, "It's really ninety-one articles?"

Wu Xiong said confidently: "One carton is ninety-one. If you buy too many, it will exceed a hundred cartons at a time, it will be ninety-one cartons."

When everyone heard this, they took a deep breath and felt like they were dreaming. How could they know that the forging technology of the Luzhou Hou Mansion had left the forging stage, but directly refined the iron through high temperature, and then poured the iron into the mold. It was like a blacksmith shop. A funny blacksmith held a hammer and hammered it for half a day before a small iron tool was produced. In the Hou Mansion, only a pot of iron was needed to refine dozens or even hundreds of iron tools at one time.

A blacksmith shop can produce two or three inferior sickles a day. However, with the same iron ore and the same materials, ten people in the Hou Mansion can produce hundreds of them with one blast furnace.

It can be said that even if this sickle is sold for 91 cents, even if it is sold for 50 cents, the Hou Mansion will have a lot of profit.

"How many goods do you have here? I want some, sickles, hoes, shovels..." Some people were moved. Many merchants came from Guangxi and even Lingnan. They came here to collect mountain goods and sent them back to the mainland for sale. But now, they think the transaction in front of them seems to be profitable. Since that's the case, they have to take back the goods anyway, so they might as well sell some iron tools to go back.

Someone started, but others had no scruples. The desire for interests had obviously suppressed the fear of the Hao family. Someone said, "How many sickles are there, hatchet?"

"I want a saw and an axe. How much does it cost?" Someone slapped his head and thought of something. It's a pig. Now the mountain people are logging wood all over the mountains and have the highest demand for saws and axes. At this time, some are stored, and even if they don't sell them out in the future, it will also make a lot of profits to sell them to these mountain people.

Originally, someone was moved, but now everyone wants to come up, so everyone’s eyes turn red, and they are afraid of robbing everything. Once everyone grabs it, it makes people blush and they are all afraid that others will take advantage of it.

Fortunately, Wu Xiong was not slow and said, "Since you want it, it's okay, but there is no stock at the moment. You might as well record what you need and make a reservation. Let's make an appointment to deliver the goods again. How about it?"

Someone couldn't help but say, "So many people need goods, but they don't know if it's time to deliver the goods?"

Wu Xiong patted his chest and said, "But this is safe. From ten days to three to five days, they will be given spot stock."

So everyone became interested, and some people felt that they didn't believe it. They felt that time was so rushed and that everyone had so much demand for iron tools. Could it be that there were thousands of craftsmen in the Hou Mansion forging day and night? Fortunately, Wu Xiong did not mention the deposit, so he only asked everyone to make reservations without paying the deposit. Since that is the case, then you might as well make reservations and see if he can hand over the goods.

Tongshanji suddenly became lively. The Hao family had a special library to set up tables and chairs on the empty ground, and also prepared pens, ink, paper and ink. Then merchants came forward one by one and introduced themselves to their hometown and address, as well as where they are now staying, and the geometry of iron tools.

On the other side, the young and strong people in Hutouzhai who were rolling with mahogany had arrived.

Hutou Village is closest to here, so they come the best. The leader of Hutou Village is Chen Gao, the villager in the village. Chen Gao is highly respected and is also considered a prestigious person in this area. However, today he seems uneasy. Did the Hao family, which replaced the Liu family, keep their word and can still continue to do the business in the past? Will the Hao family have any hostility towards the mountain people? After all, the mountain people were having a big fuss before. Moreover, they collected mahogany everywhere. In order to log wood, Chen Xiang Lao mobilized all the young and strong logs everywhere. If the Hao family broke their promise at this time, wouldn’t it be useless to do this for half a month?

In fact, some of the mountain people on the mountain started logging in the villages, while others were still watching. There were very few people who mobilized everyone to log in like Hutou Village. Once the Hao family did not trust, Hutou Village would be over.

The wood had been shipped outside the market, while Chen Xianglao went to the market to negotiate with the Hao family.

Unexpectedly, when he heard that there was wood coming, Hao Fenglou came out of the village. As soon as he set off, everyone followed him.

When he arrived outside the village, Mr. Chen seemed a little uneasy and said carefully in front of Hao Fenglou: "There are 348 woods in total. Although the quality is different, they are all cut down according to your instructions. Please take a look."

Hao Fenglou nodded to the people behind him. The people nodded and began to check. They took paper and pen and divided the wood into three levels. Then someone stepped forward and said, "Sir, the best wood is seventy, the medium one is one hundred and twenty-three, and the inferior one is one hundred and fifty-five."

Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "Checkout."

The word "checkout" was very happy. After a while, someone said: "A high-quality wood is eighty cents, a medium-quality wood is fifty cents, and a low-quality wood is twenty cents. The total amount of these wood shipped is 14,850 cents, and the silver is 14,800 cents."

Someone took out the silver, then took out the scale, carefully cut it and then delivered the paid silver to Mr. Chen as much as possible.

Fourteen taels of silver may not be anything in the mainland, but here it is a considerable wealth. Even if it is a complete tiger skin, merchants can only collect two taels of silver. It is not easy to hunt a tiger.

The old man Chen was thinking about money and suddenly smiled. This was a good deal. After all, when winter came, the strong men in the village had no difference, but now it was much more worthwhile than going in and out to hunt.

He hurriedly said, "Sir, we want to buy salt and some iron tools."

In fact, logging is not the main business of Hutou Village. So many people have spent so much time to cut more than 300 pieces of wood. On the one hand, the young and strong are not skilled enough, but on the other hand, they do not have enough tools. For example, the axe, the entire village is only two axes, and the blade has been rolled up long ago. As for the saw, there is not a single one. Everyone tied grass into ropes and repeatedly polished them with ropes. So much so that it would be good to have a big tree that can be crushed in one day.

Now that I have money, and the other party is trustworthy, apart from some necessities of daily life, the most important thing is to buy tools, axes, and saws. You can also check out the others.

Next, Chen Xiang Lao was even more satisfied because they saw the ironware sold on the stall. People in the mountains had a great demand for ironware, but because of their barrenness, they often lacked demand. In this case, everyone cherished ironware very much and had a great understanding of the quality of ironware. At this time, when they looked at the axes and saws on the stall, they knew that it was many times better than the ones sold by the Liu family back then. Chen Xiang Lao asked carefully about the price, but the price was not expensive. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "If you buy it, you need twenty axes and thirty saws, and you also need ten sickles. Yes, how much does this iron pot cost, three more mouthfuls."

With these tools, logging faster and earning more money. This is a bumpy truth. How could Chen Xianglao not understand?

As for salt, the price was lower than the one sold by the Liu family, and there was not much sand mixed with it. Chen Xiang Lao was immediately excited and hurriedly bought seven kilograms, thanking him for his gratitude, and happily took the people in the village back.

Immediately afterwards, more and more mountain people went down the mountain, some rolled wood, some carried mountain goods, and some had already processed fur. The Tongshan Club was still lively, and a piece of news spread wildly. The news about the Hao family collecting wood was real. They not only collected wood, but also collected iron ore and coal, and the price was fair.

So, when the villages heard the news, they suddenly became storms. Some people simply went into the mountains to find coal and mines. Many people have seen these things in the past, but they don’t care. But now they know that this can be exchanged for white salt, fine iron tools, and even exquisitely crafted cloth. As for logging, it has become the most important activity for each village now. The leaders and fellow villagers of each village are thinking about how much wood they cut down the mountain, how much silver they exchange for, and how much things they buy back.

When they saw real money and silver, their enthusiasm naturally increased. There was no need for anyone to urge them. The children began to shuttle through the mountains, find the wood they needed, make marks, and then called on the men to cut down and transport them. The women prepared food in the village, packed bamboo tubes and then sent them to the men.
