Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Youzhou.

In the soap workshop, Xiao Cai, a craftsman who is an undercover in Hanzhong, is counting the number of soaps in the warehouse.

Although the soap production efficiency here is much lower than that in Hanzhong, it is only about 60% of that in Hanzhong soap workshop.

But after more than 20 days of continuous production, there are already thousands of soaps stored in the warehouse of this soap workshop alone.

The nobles in Youzhou City have built a total of 12 soap workshops. Xiao Cai calculated based on the output of the soap workshop where he is located that there are at least 10,000 to 15,000 soaps in the warehouses of various soap workshops in Youzhou.

And according to Xiao Cai's observation, the number of times the Youzhou nobles come to the warehouse has increased significantly in recent days.

"It should be time to prepare to sell this batch of soaps."

Xiao Cai thought to himself and prepared to find a time in the evening to meet with Shopkeeper Zhou and report the situation to him.

Shopkeeper Zhou was sent to sell soaps to Kebineng and Budugen, and now he is collecting information in the mutual market as a cloth merchant.

That night, Shopkeeper Zhou met Xiao Cai.

After learning this, Shopkeeper Zhou told the Xianbei merchants he was familiar with the next day that he had a batch of soaps he wanted to sell.

The Xianbei merchants were naturally overjoyed when they heard this.

Soaps were in short supply in the Xianbei tribe, so the Xianbei merchants asked Shopkeeper Zhou what price he wanted to sell the soaps at.

"My batch of soaps was shipped from Hanzhong, the quantity is large, and the price is fair!"

In response to the Xianbei merchants' inquiry, Shopkeeper Zhou said directly.

The Xianbei merchants were overjoyed when they heard this. If he could buy this batch of soaps, he could make a small profit when he returned to Xianbei.

So the Xianbei merchants said to Shopkeeper Zhou:

"No matter how many soaps you have in this batch, I want them all!"

In the eyes of the Xianbei merchants, Shopkeeper Zhou, a cloth seller, had a few hundred soaps in his hands, which was already a lot.

"Really?" Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but ask back when he heard this.

"As long as the price is fair!"

The Xianbei merchants have done a lot of business with Youzhou merchants in the mutual market over the years, so they naturally won't say anything completely.

Shopkeeper Zhou then smiled at the Xianbei merchant:

"Hahaha, this batch of soap in my hand is worth 20,000 yuan!"

"As for the price, it is 70% of the current market price!"

The Xianbei merchant was shocked by the number of soaps and the selling price mentioned by Shopkeeper Zhou.

"What?!"

"20,000 pieces of soap?!"

"Or 70% of the current market price?!"

The Xianbei merchant, who felt that Shopkeeper Zhou was joking, asked back and then said to Shopkeeper Zhou:

"Shopkeeper Zhou, don't joke with me."

"How much soap do you have, I will buy it at the market price, how about it?"

Seeing that the Xianbei merchant still didn't believe what he said, Shopkeeper Zhou didn't say much and took the Xianbei merchant directly to his mansion.

The Xianbei merchant who came to Shopkeeper Zhou's mansion thought that Shopkeeper Zhou had agreed to sell all the soaps in his hand to him, and his mood couldn't help but be very good.

But when Shopkeeper Zhou opened the door of the wing room, the Xianbei merchant was so shocked that he was speechless.

The whole wing room was filled with neatly stacked soaps, at least more than 2,000 pieces!

Shopkeeper Zhou then opened the doors of the remaining four wing rooms, and each wing room was the same as the first one, with neatly stacked soaps inside.

"What Shopkeeper Zhou said was all true!"

At this moment, the Xianbei merchant only had this thought in his mind.

20,000 pieces of soaps, that is tens of thousands of taels of silver, which a Xianbei merchant could not afford anyway.

"You can't buy so many soaps by yourself, so how about this"

Shopkeeper Zhou saw the shocked look of the Xianbei merchant and began to reveal his true purpose.

"You introduce me to King Budugen or King Kebi Neng Khan, and after this batch of soaps is sold, I will give you a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, how about that?"

The shocked Xianbei merchant suddenly woke up when he heard the reward of 1,000 taels of silver.

"Deal!"

After leaving Shopkeeper Zhou's mansion, the Xianbei merchant thought that Shopkeeper Zhou was definitely not an ordinary cloth merchant.

How could an ordinary cloth merchant transport 20,000 bars of soap from Hanzhong to Youzhou?

And he had to trade directly with Budugen and Kebi Neng!

However, for the benefit of the 1,000 taels of silver, the Xianbei merchant naturally knew what was interesting and did not ask Shopkeeper Zhou more. He just told Shopkeeper Zhou that he would definitely have a way to help him meet Kebi Neng and Budugen.

Some things are better not to ask, and getting the benefits is enough.

After sending the Xianbei merchant away, undercover craftsmen from other soap workshops have passed on information to Shopkeeper Zhou in the past few days.

After combining these messages, Shopkeeper Zhou realized that these Youzhou nobles had produced 10,000 bars of soap and were about to sell them to the Xianbei people.

"Hanzhong Hou and his wife are right. You can keep these soaps for yourselves!" Shopkeeper Zhou has received accurate information about the Xianbei merchant. He will take him to see Kebi Neng in three days, and then Budugen. During this period, the Youzhou nobles also began to build momentum in the trade. All Xianbei merchants already know that the soap workshops established by these Youzhou nobles will start selling soaps in large quantities in two days. Some Xianbei merchants have already come to request reservations.

The Youzhou nobles, thinking that they were about to make a fortune and recover the cost they had invested in the soap workshop, had been drinking and having fun every night for the past few days.

Everyone thinks that a better life is coming soon.

Just the day before the Youzhou nobles were going to start selling soap in large quantities in the mutual market, shopkeeper Zhou met Kebineng and Budugen successively under the leadership of his Xianbei businessman friends.

After meeting, shopkeeper Zhou directly stated his identity and intention, and the batch of soap in his hand could be sold to them now.

In the end, Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen each purchased 10,000 pieces of soap from shopkeeper Zhou at 60% of the market price in Youzhou.

As for the soap produced by Dawei, Budugen and Kebineng have naturally been using it for a long time.

Next, among the tribes of Budugen and Kebineng, soap was finally no longer in short supply.

Their respective tribes also bought better quality soap at 70% of the market price.

Shopkeeper Zhou then handed over one thousand taels of silver to the Xianbei merchant and invited him to go drink with him at a restaurant in Youzhou City.

The two of them were in a good mood that night and drank a lot.

In the elegant room next to the two of them, the Youzhou nobles were also drinking.

But they don't know yet what they will face next.
