C200 Im such a genius (2/2)

Otherwise, learning this early on would be a waste of time for Zhuge Liang.

Hearing that Xiao Wen didn't have any intentions of destroying this plan, Zhuge Liang could only bitterly leave the carriage.

At the same time, he picked up the storekeeper's account book and started reading the profits.

This time when he came to the Huns, Xiao Wen had given him a hundred pounds of salt as a gift for marriage.

However, the remaining two hundred Jin was sold for a good price.

Xiao Wen exchanged one catty of 100 catties of salt for 100 catties of cattle.

As for the other hundred pounds of salt, Xiao Wen had traded them for wool.

Because the sheep had to survive the winter, the Huns did not give Xiao Wen a cheap price. A pound of salt could be exchanged for two hundred pounds of wool.

The shopkeeper told Xiao Wen that if he came over in the summer to trade with the herdsmen, he could exchange one catty of salt for two thousand catties of wool.

However, Xiao Wen didn't care. After all, his salt wasn't anything expensive.

They were originally in the western part of Long Hao Chen, the stuff that no one cared about after purifying the poisonous salt. The cost of a single catty was even lower than that of a catty of wool.

It could be said that this was an extremely profitable business.

A kilogram of salt could be exchanged for two hundred kilograms of wool, and a hundred kilograms of salt could be exchanged for twenty thousand kilograms of wool.

20,000 jin might sound like a lot, but if it was converted to modern units, it would be 10 tons.

Thus, Xiao Wen wasn't worried about the transportation.

Not to mention, he still had a hundred cows.

On average, each cow would have to pull a ton of wool and a hundred kilograms of wool. This was not a problem at all.

It's just to reduce the problem of the cattle dropping fat on the road. Xiao Wen still ordered his men to tear down the carriages and use the excess wood to make more carriages.

These carriages' defensive capabilities were as high as the carriages'. However, Xiao Wen was not worried about any blind bandits attacking him along the way since they were protecting him.

However, there was a small problem. Cows raised on the prairie did not know how to pull carriages.

They were extremely unorganized and disciplined. They would bite off a few mouthfuls of grass whenever they saw them. After a while, he stood still on the spot and didn't move even after being whipped.

This caused the manager of the caravan to become worried.

He looked at a smooth and oily oxen that the herdsmen had raised, and after he had pulled the oxcart to the side, he covered his face with his sleeve and turned his back. He was at a loss of what to do.

You still need to learn to pull a cart? This was what Xiao Wen had asked the shopkeeper. In the end, he was despised by the shopkeeper, Sun Shangxiang, and Yang Xiu.

”Why don't you just eat meat? When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely ask my son this question. If he also answered like that, I will deal with it ruthlessly.” The shopkeeper didn't politely retort to Xiao Wen.

However, the guard captain of the merchant caravan was a kind person. He told Xiao Wen in detail about the habits and habits of cattle.

It turned out that the calf had to follow the old bull from the moment it landed on the ground to learn how to pull a cart, plough land, pull a mill, and all sorts of other skills.

Under the influence of the old cattle, the calf naturally learned these things when it grew up.

The cattle on the prairie did not have such experiences. They were used to the wild. At most, they would slowly advance in a certain direction under the command of the herdsmen.

If he were to put on the car now, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. It would be weird if he could pull the car properly.
