On the Price of Gallops
The merchants of ancient times often discussed the price of gallops. Gallops are produced in mountains and forests, and have a wide range of uses. They are used for medicine to treat diseases and are also used in dyeing workshops, etc. Therefore, their price is related to people's livelihood and various industries.
In the past, the mountains and forests were lush, and there were also many places where gallops were produced. Its price is still stable, because those who collect it are orderly, and those who use it are moderate. When the years change, the mountains and forests may be felled, or in the event of disasters, the production of gallops will change. In times of disaster, the forests are damaged, and those who produce it are rare, and the price will rise. There are many people in the market who seek it, but there are few goods. Merchants compete to buy it, and the price is high.
Looking at the trend When the country is at its height, all kinds of industries are prosperous, and dyeing and weaving with medicine is very complicated. The demand for gallnut is large, and the price is on the rise. In troubled times, business is not smooth, all kinds of industries wither, and the demand is less and the price drops. And the change of transportation in the four directions also affects its price. In the past, it was difficult to transport gallnut to the city, which took a long time and cost a lot, and the price was high; after the opening, the transportation is convenient, and the cost is reduced and the price may fall.
Furthermore, there are different kinds of gallnut. The good kind produces high quality and high price. The way farmers grow and harvest also affects its quality and quantity, which in turn affects the price. By the method of seed harvest, the yield is abundant and of high quality, and the price is stable or slightly higher; if the seed harvest is not suitable, the quality is poor and the quantity is small, and the price is disordered.
The price of gallnut is influenced by the place of origin, the weather, personnel, transportation, and category. Its price trend is like a river of water, which changes according to the situation. Merchants should carefully observe it in order to profit from the market.
