I saw Peng Xinshu holding the knife and constantly wiping his hands, whispering: "Don't collapse or roll, you're holding a good knife!"

On the other hand, the knife that Peng Xinshu bought for fifty knots was cut to pieces, which was clearly visible.

Chairman Dong couldn't help but be overjoyed, his voice trembled: "Mr. Wait, is this knife worth fifty taels?"

"It's hard to say the price of a knife like this. It can be sold for twenty cents and fifty cents. To be honest, I have some good knives. If I buy it, I can sell it. This knife can be considered fifty cents per knives. We will make friends with you and will not make money from you. By the way, the chief clerk said that there are many knives, and I don't know how many of them are. If there are too many, I have to find a way to raise money."

Chairman Dong said: "Not many, I look like I have about twenty. The foreigner has a wealth of 10,000 yuan, and it is not difficult to pay a thousand yuan."

Peng Xinshu smiled and shook his head: "One thousand guan is not a small amount of money, but I received some payment in Yingtian Mansion this time, so I should be able to make it up. Although the knife brought by the chief clerk is good, it is just too simple. When I buy it, I have to ask a master craftsman to re-equip the scabbard and polish it carefully, and it will cost money."

"There are really no place to buy those accessories in Yongcheng. The staff member is worried."

After finalizing the price of the knife, Chairman Dong felt particularly comfortable. He drank tea with Peng Xinshu for a while before leaving with the knife.

Du Zhongxiao was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be too long, so the next day, he asked Chairman Dong to bring twenty steel knives made and delivered them to Peng Xinshu's ship. After checking the knives one by one, Peng Xinshu was so happy that he handed over a thousand guan to Chairman Dong. The copper coins were too bulky, and Peng Xinshu collected most of the goods from the goods, including satin and gold and silver, and they were priced one by one, and he collected a thousand guan for Chairman Dong to take them away.

The public officials under his command were careful to bring a thousand-ton light goods. Chairman Dong was in a state of excitement. After being the chief clerk for several years, he was not as generous as today, and he actually held a thousand-ton wealth in his hand. In this era, a thousand-ton wealth was a real big fortune, especially for the small county in Yongcheng. Unexpectedly, Du Zhongxiao made a few knives overnight and exchanged such a large amount of money back. Thinking about it, it was really easy to make money sometimes.

When he arrived at the county town, Chairman Dong ordered someone to put the payment into the warehouse and completed the procedures before he came to see Du Zhongxiao.

When he arrived at the official hall to sit down, Chairman Dong bowed: "I didn't expect that the magistrate had such a wonderful method, and he got a fortune of a thousand coins in a few days! It was really a pity to make a knife. The iron dealer saw that the iron seller had cut another knife and was impressed there for a long time."

This is a matter of course. The steel made from a crucible is uniform, and after being forged, the heat treatment is reasonable than that of ordinary craftsmen. The knife made is of course of higher quality. Cutting another knife is indeed better, and the other is because of the uneven material of the knife. Uneven material is extremely harmful to the knife, and it will collapse if you are not careful. This is also a common problem of knife in this era.

After talking about the process of selling swords, Chairman Dong said: "Since the county can make such good steel, why not make more swords and sell them for money? You can earn a thousand guan at a time, which is better than any business!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Chief, we are officials here, not business. The yamen sells swords and swords, and it is still acceptable to do it. If I do this for a long time, I will be blamed by the court sooner or later. Besides, the sword is expensive, but I just have to do it like this. It's not a big deal that the craftsman has been recruiting for a few days. I've been serving in the county for many years, and I'm afraid that countless troubles will happen again. And I have other uses for those steel, and I've wasted swords and swords."

Chairman Dong was stunned: "What can you make without making a sword without making a sword? It would be a pity to make something else."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's a pity to make swords and swords. I don't know how many important things there are in the world."

This matter is hard to explain now, and Du Zhongxiao doesn't say much. Now he has fireworks and firecrackers, and he can make steel. It is not more useful to build guns and cannons when fighting a war. Of course, there is no war now, and good steel should be used in key places, such as mechanical parts. He is just a mere magistrate and cannot develop any decent industry, but he has to prepare.

Whether it is a sword or other iron tool, the profits of industrial products in this era are really amazing. When you have the opportunity to stand alone, you can develop these things as quickly as possible to develop the local economy. However, in this era, if you have three years of office, you will not be able to take advantage of the time of being a magistrate, and it will be difficult to seize the opportunity in the future. The county's economy is not independent, and no matter how much money you make, it will be a contribution to the state. It is better to spend money to accumulate some experience.

On the second day, Du Zhongxiao and Chairman Dong set up a dock and delivered the goods with the two merchants. The iron naturally pulled it to the county government, but the cattle were transported directly to the ranch and handed it to Chen Qin. Chen Qin took the herdsmen to divide the cattle into herds and branded the official seal. At this time, the cattle in the mainland, as the servants, all had seals on their bodies. There were official seals from the prefectures and counties, and a numbered seal. If the official cattle were sold to farmers, the farmers would brand another seal from their own homes. If they picked up the separated cattle, if there were both official seals and private seals, the person who was sentenced to the private seal was generally the owner.

After everything was delivered, Chairman Dong held a banquet and saw off the two merchants off.

After returning from the banquet, Peng Xinshu washed up a little, and was preparing to rest because he was a little damaging to drink. He didn't expect that at this time, the cattle seller came to the boat.

The two of them sat down. Peng Xinshu ordered tea to come and said to the official who was in the second place: "The goods and money have been completed, and Yongcheng has nowhere to be left. I was about to take a rest and set sail and return home. I wonder what happened to the official who came to look for him at this time?"

Shi Yuanwai smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I just got a lot of money, why are you leaving? In the past two days, I have found out that the pleasure boat not far from our boat is very lively, and there is everything to eat, drink and play. Xing Chaofeng, whom I met two days ago, invited me to have fun on my boat tonight. I was not familiar with the people around me and was about to ask the official to go with me."

Peng Xinshu shook his head repeatedly: "I have never liked the excitement, so why did I go to that kind of boat? Besides, where do I have money now? The official has something to do. I bought a few good knives from this county, and spent all the money, leaving only the money I returned to my hometown."

How could Shi Yuanwai believe it? It was not until Peng Xinshu took out the newly bought knife for him to appreciate it that he left reluctantly.

After leaving Peng Xinshu's boat, Shi Yuanwai spat: "I'm doing Xu Da business, but I don't want to be a local official! I don't want to make money by eating, drinking, having fun and making money! I thought I had a companion tonight, but I didn't want to be so unlucky!"

As he spoke, he was still disappointed when he got off the boat.

Shi Yuanwai returned to his boat in anger, and suddenly a small boat came over next to him, and the person above said, "Why are Yuanwai angry?"

Seeing that it was Xing Chaofeng, Shi Yuanwai hurried to welcome his boat and said, "I thought I had delivered the goods and had some spare money in my hand. I invited the iron seller there to have fun together tonight. I didn't expect that guy didn't know the charm and only knew that he had to go home after making money, which made people feel bored. It turned out that he was a senior official, but he didn't expect it to be a trash bunker."

A woman in her thirties standing beside Xing Chaofeng was dressed up in a colorful manner. After hearing this, she laughed: "There is a kind of person in the world who is born with a life of a cattle and horse. She has no life to spend money, and in the end she doesn't know who she has a good advantage. There are so many people like this, why should the official be angry?"

Seeing that the woman was quite colored and had a sense of charm, the official's eyes lit up: "What the wife said is. I don't know-"
