Take the mall to Datang

Wei Dayou followed Yuchi Baolin, although they were all Yuan Shan's apprentices, and they were all captains and soldiers, but Wei Dayou also had another identity as Yuchi Baolin's personal follower.

It is still the same now. The ancients were faithful in the end, and they would not forget their roots when they got ahead. Therefore, Wei Dayou, the Imperial Guard in the Beiya, was a big housekeeper. He was very strategic. way to achieve.

"Baolin, let's go back now, don't you understand, the teacher is not an ordinary person, what we have to do is to trust, and more importantly, to obey." Wei Dayou said to Yuchi Baolin.

Yuchi Baolin nodded. Although a brave man has only muscles and no brains, Yuchi Baolin is not stupid. Those who don’t know will be deceived by his simple and honest appearance. In fact, Yuchi’s family has very good inheritance. Mr. Yuchi is so smart. Son, if you are not smart, can you concentrate on studying the art of alchemy and immortality at home?

It's amazing how high the threshold for cultivating immortals is. It's not easy to be a 'chemist'.

The people dispersed immediately, and it was already very late at this time.

"Husband, should we go back and rest?" Du Qianyu asked.

"Caiyi has already warmed up the bed, let's deal with it all night here today, I don't recognize the bed, let my husband serve you to rest." Yuan Shan said with a wicked smile.

"Husband, can you be more serious, this is the office of the Economic and Development Department, don't... Ah!" Du Qianyu then exclaimed.

Yuan Shan was just joking, but he really didn't do anything. After waking up in the morning, Du Qianyu and Caiyi left early. After all, it was an office, and it would not be appropriate for them to stay here when all the staff came to work. .

"Yu Jingming, you brought Gao Shixing and others to help me worry about some businessmen on the list. I have something to talk to them, and remember that everything needs to be kept secret." Yuan Shan said.

The matter was handed over to Yu Jingming, and Yuan Shan was very relieved. He secretly asked the businessman to come over, so that he would not attract attention. Usually, the Economic Development Department receives many businessmen every day, and they usually talk about business matters. The Economic and Development Department where people go is very lively.

"Zhao Jixiang, I heard that your car dealership often travels to Chengdu to transport cotton?" Yuan Shan asked while drinking tea while sitting in the office.

"Yes, Zhao's car and horse company recently hauled cement in Lanzhou, but not much cotton transportation." Zhao Jixiang replied.

"Drink tea, don't be nervous, I just want to know, I have a batch of goods that I want to go to Songzhou, I wonder if your Zhao family is willing to take this job." Yuanshan asked in a discussing tone.

"Of course, when will the goods be delivered? It will take 20 days at the fastest to finish the delivery of this batch of cement in Lanzhou." Zhao Jixiang said.

"Well, it's okay, I will send someone to assist you to set off, and your fleet will increase its capacity, but this batch of cement may require you to reduce some transportation, but I will not let you suffer, I will give you some compensation on the cement delivery price, In this way, you will not lose money, and you can make a small profit including the shipping fee this time." Yuan Shan explained.

"Then thank Lord Lan Guogong for being willing to take care of the villain's business." Zhao Jixiang said cheerfully, it is a fool who does not take care of anyone who has money.

"Okay, the tea doesn't taste good when it's cold. This is green tea from the southern tea garden. Try it." Yuan Shan continued.

"Well, it's really good tea. There is a fragrance in the bitterness, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. I don't know how much the price of this tea is." Zhao Jixiang calmed down, and the business was negotiated. Condoms are close, this is the nature of businessmen, don't waste any opportunities.

"Haha, there are tea shops in Lanzhou, and the price is about two or three hundred guan." Yuan Shan said lightly.

Zhao Jixiang was secretly startled, what he was drinking was tea? What he was drinking was money, so the two chatted for a while and drank a pot of tea three times.

Yuan Shan felt that Zhao Jixiang was interesting, and talked a lot with him in order to have a few more sips of tea, but it was still fruitful. Zhao Jixiang often traveled to Chengdu, and he knew a little about the Qiang people. No one is willing to make enemies with others, and most of them are limited by geographical location.

In recent years, with the formation of cotton and corn production areas, the Qiang people's business with the local people is relatively ordinary, and there are even Qiang people working to a certain extent, but only a very small part.

It was all forced by life, otherwise they would not have left the village easily.

Chapter 801 One word "drag!"

The second person Yuan Shan received was Xu Maocai, a grain merchant. His family’s business mainly started from the newly cultivated and planted corn in Chengdu. He was very business-minded. Business talent is very high, and there are some means.

"Mr. Lan, I don't know what I'm looking for. As long as the Duke has a word, I'll do it later." Xu Maocai said straight to the point.

"Oh, how do you know that I have something to discuss with you?" Yuan Shan asked curiously.

"The reason is very simple, because my Xu family has just arrived in Lanzhou, and there is no property here, and there is no business relationship. In this way, the Duke must have something to discuss with me, otherwise, why would he pay attention to me and other small people." Xu Maocai explained.

"You're quite smart. You said straight to the point that I have a business plan to discuss with you, but I suddenly realized that you are too shrewd. Negotiating business with smart people will be at a disadvantage for you in terms of profit." Yuan Shan Said.

Xu Maocai has been thinking about it all the time, he knows that it is very risky to cut straight to the point, and smart people pay more attention to the relationship between interests, but isn't there a saying that says cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.

Xu Maocai is an upstart in business. He has never lost money in business. It is normal for him to be a little proud, but his shrewdness betrays him instead. A businessman who only cares about profit is a A good businessman, but it is not certain how far he can go. As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. Sometimes the cooperation between businessmen will play a greater role.

What Yuan Shan said is correct, because cooperating with them is a matter for the Ministry of Economic Development, not for the Yuan family, so simply speaking, the discussion with Xu Maocai is about business matters. How much advantage he can take as a businessman, on the contrary, he may be rejected by others. Take advantage.

"Haha, I have this kind of personality. Please don't mind Mr. Lan. Besides, what's wrong with talking about business with smart people? It's easy to reach a cooperation when the interests are clear." Xu Maocai suddenly changed his words.

Yuan Shan found that Xu Maocai was very alert, and he had an unusually thick skin. He was indeed a person who was willing to make a fortune out of the capital of wealthy merchants in Chang'an. In fact, he still admired such a person.

Appreciation is appreciation, but the things that should be done still have to be done. The Xu family has several rice shops in Songzhou. The financial resources are not strong, but as long as they have a relationship with Songzhou, they must be considered if they can be used.

"Speak directly, the Ministry of Economic Development will requisition all the rice shops in your family. During the requisition period, you will be compensated according to the average daily sales volume of the shops. The requisition period is tentatively set for three months, and you need to fully cooperate during these three months." Yuan Shan Said.

As soon as Xu Maocai understood what he meant by cooperation, as usual, he might be guarded by the Ministry of Economics and Development and put under house arrest, and the Ministry of Economics and Development would give him money as compensation.

"I agree." Xu Maocai immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Very good, it's really good to discuss business with smart people. Don't worry, my people will arrange for you to go back to arrange business matters in the past three months, and then you can take your family to Chang'an or other places for fun. The transportation and horse expenses have been paid by the Ministry of Development." Yuan Shanhe said.

"Alright, you can go out and relax. I wonder if I can take a boat to the south." Xu Maocai said suddenly.

"Of course you can, as long as you want to go to the Ministry of Economics and Development, people will arrange it, and you can do everything you want if you are tired from the journey." Yuan Shan continued.

After discussing with Xu Maocai, the plan was launched immediately. The people from the Ministry of Economic Development have already informed some people from the Beiya Imperial Army to follow Xu Maocai back. Xu Maocai's shop is distributed in several state capitals. People's goals were all set on the Songzhou shops, but in order not to be discovered by people's eyes and ears, they really took over all of Xu's shops, most of them were in the Maozhou area.

It happened that Maozhou was below Songzhou, and if Tubo continued to go south, there might be a support, but in the same way, the number of people who needed to be dispatched would need to increase.

In one morning, two important businessmen were settled. With the situation of the two companies, the soldiers could be secretly placed in the convoy to Songzhou.

Especially Zhao Jixiang, his chariot and horse company solved the needs of the Beiya imperial army to transport horses and artillery, Xu Maocai solved the problem of resettlement of some people, and also shouldered the transportation of some materials. Do they still worry about food at a rice shop? At least they can bring enough rations.

Then Yuan Shan saw this man named He Fugui, this man is just walking, the cavalry is not big but he often conducts commercial activities in the border of Tubo, his name sounds very good, he is a bit flaunting his wealth, but in fact he is also very shrewd, And the biggest advantage is that I have lived in the border since I was a child, and I know very well the location of the Dangxiang, Qiang, and Tubo borders.

His caravan may not be the largest merchant, but it is indeed the most profitable one. In addition, he may have alien blood, so he can better integrate into some tribes, or be more easily accepted.

He Fugui can go anywhere. When he comes to Lanzhou, businessmen need to file for the record. After the Ministry of Economics and Development checks his affairs, it is clear. Otherwise, the main job of the analysis team of the Ministry of Economics and Development is to analyze commercial data. For businessmen The mastery of data is as clear as commercial data.

The conversation with He Fugui was relatively secret, no matter whether he agreed or not, he could not return to freedom in a short time, so Huo Da personally led people to follow him to act as a merchant, and a team of 200 people appeared in an instant. Fugui became the head of the caravan in name, but in fact he was a guide. They would do business in the borderlands to check the terrain and the movements of the alien races.

All three teams had action plans, and in just one day, there were only 500 Beiya imperial guards left.

The people left behind all acted as scouts, spying on the intelligence delivery between the four state capitals.

Hezhou, Li Jing, the general manager of Xikaidao, sits firmly in Hezhou. His idea is very simple. He will not move until the Tubo people do not move. Anyway, their purpose now is to stick to it. The only thing to look for is to wait for the opportunity to fight Tubo. His patience It is enough, neither side will initiate a battle. In this way, the material consumption of the Tubo people will be faster. Compared with Datang, they have such an advantage. Another point is that they need to defend not just a state capital, Shanzhou, Taozhou, Hezhou, etc. The range from Minzhou to Minzhou is very large, so we can't take it lightly. If the current troops only defend, there is more than enough mistakes.

Opening the message sent from Conglan, Li Jing frowned, thinking: "What is this Yuanshan going to do? Take the initiative to attack and harass the Tubo soldiers and horses, take the lead in Shanzhou and other places, and take the initiative to find combat strikes, but it needs to be mastered. You can't really fight it."

What kind of person Li Jing is, you can tell at a glance that the word "drag!"

Chapter 802 Songzhou Preparations

"drag!"

It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. They cannot let the other party see their true intentions, and they have to achieve the attitude of Datang soldiers and horses forced by the border threat, unable to bear the illusion of taking the initiative to attack.

The Tubo soldiers will really fight at that time. According to the guess of Yuan Shan and others, they will not, they may run away at any time, but it is very likely that they will come back after the Datang soldiers retreat.
