Chapter 1361: Caravan (2)

With the help of so many experts, and also in the quarrel of these experts, the best four hundred horses brought by the Feimu Banner League were singled out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young leader hesitated and said to the old leader: "All the good horses we brought have been picked up, and there are still so many of them, and the remaining horses will not be able to satisfy the later merchants." ”

The middle-aged man paused: "I didn't expect such a brigade to have so much money, and this second lieutenant in charge of logistics was so bold, I thought he would buy about a hundred horses at most, but I didn't expect it to be four hundred!" That's a third of what we brought. ”

The old man smiled: "He is the biggest here, what dare not?" Pointing to the young leader: "Take the men to the nearest flag at once, and borrow horses from them, the more the better, and if you go and return quickly, you should be able to return in four days, and there will be three days left in the market." ”

"Yes." The young leader didn't say much, and just took people away.

If anyone hears that the most important material on the grassland can be borrowed at will, I believe that they will be deeply skeptical of the statement that the Feimu Banner Alliance is a plate of scattered sand.

The next day, two caravans of the country came, one carrying more than 300 wagons, the other with more than 500 wagons, and strangely enough, the men brought by both of them were equal, more than 500 people each.

The guards, who did not relax their vigilance, reported to Zhao Hu that 300 trucks were carrying food, 50 trucks were carrying weapons, and there was no other goods.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Is there an agreement between them?" ”

And when they then asked for a six-day fair, Zhao Hu immediately confirmed that there was a close relationship between these merchant groups.

In these two merchant groups, those with weapons sent ten beautifully made machetes that were better than military knives to Zhao Hu, and those with grain sent 100 bags of 100 catties of fine grain to Zhao Hu.

Zhou Wen, who had been staying by Zhao Hu's side, immediately touched Zhao Hu gently, and Zhao Hu knew that he had to act according to the plan.

Seeing that Zhao Hu was silent and didn't speak, the two leaders of the merchant group with shrewd faces couldn't help but glance at each other, and after nodding to each other, they came out from the one who sold weapons, only to see this slender guy, and asked after bowing, "I don't know why the chief is embarrassed?" Not to mention letting the next two share the worries of the chief, maybe there is a solution? The friendship between the next two is quite extensive, and even the division commander of the provincial capital can also make friends. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Wen's brows immediately furrowed, and he glared at them fiercely.

These two guys actually threaten their own superiors, it's really hateful!

However, Zhou Wen didn't expect him to frown and stare at him, which made the two leaders swallow their saliva immediately, and then looked at Zhao Hu with strange eyes, and then glanced at each other.

I didn't expect this second lieutenant to be so bold that he actually took the maid dressed as a man with him? Damn, the door must be wider than yourself! It looks like he's going to be slaughtered!

In the end, there was a bitter and helpless look in his eyes.

Zhao Hu didn't care about the threat in the businessman's words, but frowned and said: "Alas, to be honest, I used all the funds of this brigade to buy four hundred war horses from the Feimu Banner Alliance, and now I am short of food and weapons, and the supplies supplied by the wing have only been allocated for a short time, so I am not embarrassed to ask for it from above, so I want to use two hundred horses to exchange some food and weapons with you, if it is not exchanged, this brigade will not be able to support it for long." ”

This was told to Zhao Hu by Zhou Wen and Dior after careful measurement, there is a truth and a threat, and the business group should be compliant.

The threat that the leader of the merchant group just said was just talk, because the benefits given to the local garrison leaders were a torch formed over hundreds of years.

If you want to use power to open the market for nothing without giving any benefits, it is simply impossible, even if the great nobles come forward to find His Excellency the Marshal, His Excellency the Marshal will not agree. Because any officer who has climbed from the bottom to the top has experienced such a benefit, and no officer will break this custom.

Of course, if the conditions are too excessive, either the two sides will continue to negotiate acceptable terms, or the business group will leave, and there will be no third way.

There was a merchant group that was dissatisfied with a certain garrison leader who was too greedy and took him away, but all the garrison leaders rejected the merchant group, and the high-ranking official who took people away was questioned and quickly stepped down.

Of course, the leaders of the garrison are not stupid, they understand the relationship between chickens and eggs, and they will not open their mouths, and they will be released if they have a certain benefit.

With this custom, the leader of the merchant group immediately quoted the price after thinking about it, and the weapon sold was a war horse for five knives, which was guaranteed to be better than the military system. The grain is sold by a war horse in exchange for fifty bags of general grain, ensuring that there is no moldy rice. Of course, a hundred horses each.

After receiving this reply, Dio immediately calculated that the inland horse price was about the same as buying so many things, and nodded to Zhao Hu, and Zhao Hu quickly agreed to their request.

Zhao Hu originally thought that there would be no other merchant groups coming after the three merchant groups, but he didn't expect that two more merchant groups would come after the two merchant groups.

The former one is a merchant group with only fifty carriages, this merchant group does not need to look, just smelling the fragrance and hearing the soft voice, you know that this is the merchant group of Qinglou plus Casino.

The latter was a merchant group with more than 600 carriages!

Zhao Hu, who got the news, was dumbfounded by the total number of carriages that arrived at the merchant group in Kulong Town.

How many people are there in your own brigade? Six hundred! Now there are thousands of carriages gathered here! Almost one man and two carriages, did they think that each of these soldiers had a thousand gold coins to spend? Aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to earn your travel expenses?

In addition to being shocked, Zhao Hu learned that the merchant group with the largest number of carriages was the chef merchant group, carrying a large number of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs and other live poultry, as well as a large number of fresh vegetables pulled by an open-top carriage, as well as hundreds of jars of fine wine, not to mention complete sets of kitchen tools and tableware.

Therefore, although the number of carriages of this cook's merchant group was huge, the value of the goods was less than half of the arms merchant group with only fifty carriages.

First of all, the Qinglou merchant group met with Zhao Hu, and the leader who originally wanted to send the beautiful woman changed his mind immediately after seeing Zhou Wen's appearance and directly sent a hundred gold coins.

Zhao Hu didn't have any requirements for this business group, he directly accepted the money, nodded and agreed.

And the chef business group did not give anything to Zhao Hu, but just cooked a meal for Zhao Hu on the spot.

After eating, Zhao Hu didn't say a word and agreed to their request to light a fire and cook for six days.

Zhao Hu didn't notice that Zhou Wen, who was enjoying the hospitality of the chef business group together, had already lit up when he saw the kitchenware.

The Qinglou merchant group and the chef merchant group were the last merchant groups of this bazaar, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately spent their military pay on food, wine, beautiful women, gambling, and other happy things.

As for food and weapons, after exchanging goods with Zhao Hu, the two merchant groups immediately approached the Feimu Banner Alliance to discuss the exchange of goods.

Zhao Hu didn't know about the transaction between them, but he knew that when the market was about to end in three days, the young leader brought thousands of horses, which were even better than the ones Zhao Hu had selected, and he couldn't help but scold Dio, a plain and steady middle-aged man.

The Flying Banner Alliance is extremely cunning!

Zhao Hu walked around the market a little, and he found that the territory of the Qinglou merchant group and the chef merchant group was the most popular, not to mention the soldiers, the members of the other merchant groups also gathered here, and even those residents of the town who had long disappeared also ran back.

And Zhao Hu also discovered what the five guards who had completely disappeared in the past few days were doing.

Locke and Luo Fei stayed in the Feimu Banner Alliance business group and wrestled with others, and learned to ride horses, Dio stayed in the grain merchant group and the weapons merchant group, and was doing everything possible to inquire about ways to make money, while Sun Jie was wandering around the casino tavern Qinglou, and soon mixed with those soldiers, as for Zhou Wen, a guy who was becoming more and more feminine, he gave those chefs a hand in the chef business group.

Knowing that they were all strengthening what they were good at, Zhao Hu couldn't help but be very satisfied with his five personal guards, and even had the idea of continuing to recruit officials and slaves as personal guards after his military rank was promoted and the number of personal guards increased in the future.

The day before the end of the rally, Zhou Wen suddenly came back with a set of kitchen utensils, Zhao Hu, who didn't know what was going on, was about to eat, and when Zhou Wen put on a table of delicious food.

After taking a bite, Zhao Hu couldn't help but say in surprise: "You did it?" It's actually better than what the big chef made a few days ago, and it only took a few days to surpass them, you are really amazing! ”

Zhou Wen, who was originally looking at Zhao Hu nervously, immediately looked happy and excited.

Zhao Hu didn't take Zhou Wen's seductive appearance in his eyes, but thought about the problem while eating, and when he was about to finish eating, Zhao Hu suddenly slapped the table, stood up and waved his fist and shouted: "That's it!" Zhou Wen, you find the leaders of the Chef Guild, and I want to make a deal with them. ”

Zhou Wen, who was originally taken aback, immediately stabilized his mood, didn't ask too much, and immediately turned around and left.

After a while, a fat uncle with a shiny face and a smile on his face walked in.

"I wonder how much of your materials will be left when the rally is over?" Zhao Hu suddenly asked without a tail.

"There are too many of them this time, and now there is only one day left, and there will definitely be a lot left." The leader of the Chef Business Group frowned at this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Sir, do you want to buy the remaining materials?" If so, we can send you all the remaining condiments, as well as a few sets of kitchenware. ”

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "That's right, I want all the materials, condiments, kitchenware, and tableware left over after your bazaar." ”
