Chapter 138 The Self-Defeating Yan Shuheng

? Barter, this 10,000 catty of Xuanyuan heavy iron can be sold for three times its own value. network

And this three times is 30 million taels of silver. The annual tax revenue of hundreds of prefectures in southern Hunan is just a little more than this figure. Yan Shuheng's trip is really a huge profit.

Su Xin knocked on the table, and suddenly asked, "Is his 10,000-pound Xuanyuan heavy iron one piece or how many?"

Liang Bo didn't understand why Su Xin asked this question, but he replied subconsciously: "It's one piece, not divided."

Hearing Liang Bo say this, a smile suddenly appeared on Su Xin's face: "Yan Shuheng is self-defeating this time, he doesn't want to sell this Xuanyuan heavy iron, no, it should be said that this year's Inside, don’t even think about selling his Xuanyuan heavy iron.”

Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, not knowing what Su Xin meant, but at this time Nie Fang laughed and said, "I also understand, this eldest son was mistaken for being smart this time. Simple things they ignore."

"I said you're going to get out of the way, what's going on?" Hong Lietao asked anxiously.

Su Xin pointed at Nie Fang: "Brother Nie should answer this question. After all, he is an expert."

Nie Fang proudly said: "The specific reason, but also from the characteristics of this Xuanyuan heavy iron, after the Xuanyuan heavy iron is extracted from the ore, it can only be refined once, and if it is refined, it will be returned to the furnace. , then the rigidity of this Xuanyuan heavy iron will be greatly reduced, and even become the same as ordinary fine steel."

Hong Lietao wondered: "Then what does this have to do with Xuanyuan Heavy Iron not being sold?"

Nie Fang said: "That's 10,000 catties of Xuanyuan Heavy Iron, and it's a whole piece, so it's impossible to re-melt and then divide it into smaller pieces. If they dare to do this, this Xuanyuan Heavy Iron will be completely destroyed. fee.

And if they don't re-smelt, then when those merchants from the Central Plains come, who can spend 30 million taels of silver or even materials of the same value to buy this piece of Xuanyuan heavy iron?

We have been in this Shangshan City for more than ten years, but there has never been such a large-scale businessman. There are only a few businessmen with millions of taels in their hands.

Some caravans with backgrounds in martial arts sects in the Central Plains are rich, but unfortunately, everything they need to buy when they come to southern Hunan is stipulated above. Okay, it will take several months even if it is going to come and go, and by then, the battle for the heir will be over long ago.

I guess this piece of Xuanyuan heavy iron should be specially refined by Mingjian Villa, just to use it to forge hundreds of weapons in one go.

That's what made such a big chunk.

There should also be small pieces of Xuanyuan heavy iron in Famous Sword Villa. After all, the amount of material that needs to be added to forge weapons alone cannot be the same as batch forging.

I just don't know whether the eldest son and his subordinates are for convenience or to create a shocking effect, and they chose the largest piece, which is self-defeating. "

After listening to Nie Fang's series of explanations, everyone suddenly realized that this is what Young Master Meng said. If this is the case, then Yan Shuheng is really self-defeating this time.

But at this time Tao Qian questioned: "If you can't smelt it into small pieces, you can just cut it off with weapons."

Nie Fang smiled and said: "Old Tao, you can speak in layman's language, this Xuanyuan heavy iron is originally used to create the material used for entering the level of weapons, the yellow-level weapons and even the Xuan-level weapons can be added. it.

If you want to cut it down with a sword, even if you cut a yellow-level sword to pieces, you may not be able to cut off a piece.

The prefecture-level weapons are similar, but look at the major martial arts sects in southern Hunan, how many have prefecture-level weapons? Even if they had, who would be willing to use a ground-level weapon to cut this iron lump? Aren't you afraid of damaging the blade? The ground-level blade is damaged, but it is not so easy to repair. "

Tao Qian was a little dissatisfied: "What if Yan Shuheng asked the Mo family in Canglan Valley behind him to buy this piece of Xuanyuan heavy iron?"

Nie Fang didn't answer, but Yan Qingxue had already answered: "If he does this, my father will not ignore it."

If Yan Shuheng really let the Mo family in Canglan Valley take action, then it is not because of their business ability, but because of the power behind them. If this happens, then the so-called successor will be better than the test. what sense?

Thinking of this, everyone immediately relaxed, but they still secretly admired Young Master Meng's thoughtfulness.

Nie Fang also knew about this characteristic of Xuan Yuan's heavy iron, and it was estimated that the people in Yan Shuheng knew it, but they didn't react. Instead, Su Xin, a layman, saw at a glance that there was something wrong.

"Okay, let this matter come to an end, don't spread it out and let Yan Shuheng and the others know." Su Xin urged.

If Yan Shuheng knew about this now, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not use the Mo family's connection to secretly contact some sects in the Central Plains, and ask them to bring silver or other materials of the same value in time to bring this piece of Xuanyuan heavy iron. buy it.

For now, let him keep in the dark.

In the following month, Yan Zhongheng and the others also came back. Thirteen trade routes, and even the furthest trade routes leading to the Western Regions, their caravans have been rushing to catch up within a year. Came back before the end of the date.

At the gate of the city, Yan Shengheng brought hundreds of cars and horses into the city, and he happened to see Yan Zhongheng bringing people back.

Compared with Yan Shengheng, Yan Zhongheng's caravan only had dozens of chariots and horses, barely one tenth of Yan Shengheng's.

No matter how precious the things Yan Zhongheng brought back, he could never win.

Seeing Yan Zhongheng coming on his horse, Yan Shengheng smiled and said, "Second brother, I don't know what you brought back this time?"

Yan Zhongheng said lazily: "Since the ninth brother wants to see it, then you should be optimistic."

Saying that, Yan Zhongheng waved his hand, and his subordinates lifted the dustproof cloth on the cart, revealing the goods inside.

Yan Zhongheng's actions made Yan Shengheng stunned for a moment. He just asked a question casually, but he never thought that Yan Zhongheng would be able to tell him what the merchant brought back this time.

But since Yan Zhongheng let him see it, it was fortunate that he didn't see it in vain, he glanced at the cars, and was immediately stunned there.

What Yan Zhongheng brought back was not so precious, but rather ordinary.

The trade route he chose this time was Jiangnan Road, the most prosperous road in the Central Plains. The things he brought back were some of the most common herbs and minerals in Jiangnan Road.

If Yan Zhongheng usually brought back these things, there would be no problem, but now that he brought back these ordinary things, it was no different from giving up the competition.

Jiangnan Road itself is the most prosperous road in the Central Plains. The merchants who come to Shangshan City every year also have the most merchants in Jiangnan Road. These things were brought by the way when they came to Shangshan City. Not worth the money at all.

It is even more impossible for merchants from other Dao to come to Shangshan City to buy these things. Every year, merchants from Jiangnan Dao also visit them. These things are also not lacking in other Dao.

It is estimated that only the merchants from the remote Xiangxi Road will come to buy these things, but the prices are also very cheap.

It can be said that Yan Zhongheng almost didn't make any money on this trip. Is he going to give up on his own initiative?

Seeing that Yan Shengheng didn't speak, Yan Zhongheng sneered twice, and turned around and entered the city, but Yan Shengheng's eyes showed a look of thought.

Yan Shuheng had told him before that the qualification of the heir does not mean anything, all this is just the beginning, even if you get the qualification of the heir, you may be pulled down by others.

Looking at Yan Zhongheng's appearance now that he has given up, it is obvious that he is not ready to compete for the qualification of the heir, but is it possible for him to give up fighting for the position of the city lord?

Yan Shengheng's heart rose with vigilance, and at this moment, a servant of his house suddenly ran over and whispered: "Young master, you are finally back, the big thing is bad! They are all broken into Yan Qingxue's hands!"

Yan Shengheng's complexion suddenly changed, and he slapped the servant in the face with a slap, and said in a low voice, "Are you an idiot? What are you doing here yelling? I'll talk about it later when I have something to do!"

This is the gate of the city, and there are many people. If people listen to him colluding with the bandits in the southern Hunan jungle to rob and kill his sister, then his reputation will be bad.

That servant also knew that he had done a stupid thing, so he shut up and waited until Yan Shengheng brought someone back to his mansion before letting the servant tell him everything.

After listening to this, Yan Shengheng's face was gloomy: "I underestimate that Meng Qingze, is the person ranked strong really so strong?"

However, he was also a little fortunate, fortunate that the old swordsman and the others were all dead, and the news was dead and unproven.

But he didn't know that this news was not only forced to ask by Su Xin, but even Yan Huangjiu had already learned it through other channels.

Yan Zhongheng and his four brothers have all returned to Shangshan City, and the large number of caravans from Zhongyuan to Shangshan City have also arrived. Now they are waiting for them to sell all of them, and then the outcome can be decided.

Among the four, Yan Zhongheng had completely given up, but the others took this opportunity to sell all the materials they acquired to those merchants.

Although they themselves do not know what the profit is high, but they all have sensible people who are responsible for it all. One million taels of silver change hands through them, and it is not a problem to sell them several times or even ten times.

When Yan Shuheng watched Yan Zhongheng and Yan Jiheng complacently sold their goods for nearly ten times the price, he sneered in his heart, is ten times the price great? What he brought was more than ten times the price! (To be continued.) 8
