In the matter of grassland animal husbandry, the local officials explained to Cao Mujian and others: Originally, the west was a big desert, which was blocked by Kumo Mountain, so there was a little greenery in Weicheng. But in recent years, the Kumo Mountains have also become more and more bare. The mountains themselves began to desertify. The sand of the great desert in the west is sometimes blown by the wind. The Kumo Mountains in the north are very low, and the soil quality of the grassland is not good, and the desertification is particularly strict. Today's grass can't raise many sheep.

Between Weicheng and the Central Plains, there is the Feixiao Mountain Range to block, the wind and sand come, even if you swallow Weicheng, you can't cross Feixiao Mountain, you can't enter the Central Plains. So the court didn't care. But the people of Weicheng themselves suffered from the wind and sand, and every bit of it was in their hearts.

It seems that this sheep is not easy to match.

Yu He can also rely on his status as the son of the world to ask the court for forgiveness. The local officials all thought it was a good idea, and they thought to themselves: it doesn't matter if you are stupid, it just has a relationship! The head has a relationship, and the bottom is relieved!

It's a pity that they still forgot one thing: Yu He's relationship is with his father Yu Qiushan.

And Yu Qiushan is on the front line, so he can count on the supplies from behind!

What Yu Qiushan was most disgusted by was that the officials in the rear put forward this and that reason to delay or reduce supplies.

Yu Qiushan's idea was: We soldiers are working desperately in front, what's wrong with what you have to eat and drink? What does it mean to be unable to hand it over? When we block the enemy in front, can we say that this will not work and that will not work, so we will not block it? We've risked our lives, what's wrong with you handing over some meat, skin, and hair?!

So in Yu Qiushan's eyes, all the logistical supplies can't keep up. It's not a reason, it's an excuse.

Yu Hexuan, as Yu Qiushan's son, did not complete the task, Yu Qiushan was even more angry, he shouted to take Yu He's military law to engage!

Cao Mujian felt that this was unreasonable: "We still handed over the iron ore recently!" ”

Yu Hexian thought about Yu Qiushan: "People can't eat iron. Eat mutton. Sheepskin can be used to make clothes, boots, tents. "So I have to have sheep.

Xiao Man was angry for Yu He: "Then I can't force you like this!" Can you still conjure up sheep? ”

Cao Mujian hesitated: "You can't change it." Old generals, they really need livestock ahead of them. So we ...... Is it possible to buy some sheep to send over? ”

Old Master Zhan thinks it is feasible.

has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has never been an official, but he has given various ideas to all kinds of officials, and the old master has goods in his stomach. He came up with an idea: find something here in Weicheng to exchange for money?

Looking for what?

The most valuable thing in Weicheng is the mine!

The mineral deposits are nominally officially owned. However, the official mining is mainly rich ore, or medium or above. The government is too lazy to open other poor and abandoned mines, and they are not willing to sell them to the private sector -- for the sake of iron and copper control and other reasons! -- It's idle.

Actually, it's not all idle. The homeless people have to live. Go to these mines and steal ore. The officials had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Can the officials steal the ore themselves?

That is to say, Cao Mujian hired people to watch the pulse quarrying. The ore was concealed and not reported to the court, and was sold privately, and when he got the money, he went to exchange it for sheep. This is tantamount to calling Yu and instantaneous. Finagle.

"The sin of concealment. In case of trouble. Fortunately, it is also taken from the country and used by the country. Old Master Zhan muttered. Shouldn't there be a big problem? ”

"In case of trouble," Cao Mujian said with a straight chest, "Cao will bear it alone!" ”

Old Master Zhan had to give a thumbs up.

Xiao Man suddenly asked, "Then where are you going to buy sheep?" ”

Cao Mujian didn't think of this problem. He thought it was a northern landscape. The wind blows the grass and the grass is low, even if there are no sheep in Weicheng, there will definitely be one nearby. Old Master Zhan also thinks so.

"To whom is the mine sold?" Xiaoman asked again.

Old Master Zhan thought: Isn't the mine very precious? We are all willing to take responsibility for mining and selling ore, but we can't sell it? Cao Mujian thought so too.

They look at me, I look at you.

The local officials came up with picture books and abacus.

The remote places are not as good as Jincheng in the land of abundance and Kyoto in the center of the country. Logistics is not so developed! There is really a problem of not buying with money, and there is nowhere to sell the goods.

Weicheng's purchasing power is extremely low, and minerals have always been controlled by the state, and businessmen do not go to Weicheng. A little black ore dug up by the displaced people has been dumped through channels all year round, but the channels are very narrow. Poured too much in one breath, and they couldn't swallow it. It is bound to find another big businessman to sell mines and buy sheep. It takes time to reconcile, find someone, and negotiate the price, and I don't know how to calculate the freight that comes and goes......

When he was having a headache, a businessman took the initiative to blend it.

Which businessman is so sensitive in his eyes and ears? Cao Mujian and the others didn't know him, and none of them knew him here. Who is this person? With an open forehead, thick black eyebrows, and pointed canine teeth, his face has become more solid and fierce since he escaped from Xie's mansion. But it's Xie Yunke.

He pretended to shake the big black folding fan, and greeted the old master of the exhibition diligently, and asked, "The grass people are very willing to serve the adults. I wonder if there is anything that adults can do to make the grass people work lately? ”

Old Master Zhan took a look: Yo! Come to the pillow when you are sleepy!

He hurriedly looked for Cao Mujian to see this big pillow!

Cao Mujian looked Yun Ke up and down and asked, "How do you know that we are looking for a merchant?" ”

"I really don't know!" Yun Ke shook his spirits, "I just thought that the imperial court had won the battle, and there might be business opportunities in the border city, so I had to be tired and run away!" What, is there any trouble with the big man? ”

Cao Mujian talked about the sale of mines and sheep, and asked Yun Ke: "Do you have any way?" ”

Yun Ke shook his hands continuously. Cao Mu's sword heart was half cold: "What? ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, our big boss has long known that your local minerals are good, but he doesn't dare to move! Just for the sake of the imperial court. Yun Ke said seriously, "The eldest lord really loves the people like a son!" What is the task of handing over the sheep, just press it down, if you don't hand it over, close a few and beat him a few ......"

The corners of Cao Mujian's mouth twitched in disgust. Yun Ke said: "So the eldest master is really the master of the people!" Don't press down, I'd rather bear this responsibility myself. But you understand, we small businessmen, we are afraid that we will be arrested and killed. ”

Cao Mujian looked at Old Master Zhan, and Old Master Zhan came out to argue that this matter would not kill his head.

"I'm afraid it's better to be steady." Yun Ke still said.

"How stable do you want to be?" Cao Mujian asked.

Yun Ke looked at the neat little guy beside him. That little guy was dressed up as Qingqiao at all, and he took charcoal neatly.

In other words, this charcoal pen is also a new product of Ahanda. Put the charcoal strips in wood, grab them and write them when you want to write. Much more convenient than a brush. Of course, the writing is not as beautiful as a brush. Only businessmen like Yunke like it. After all, for them, convenience comes first.

Although Cui Heng got rid of Ah Handa, he couldn't get rid of all kinds of convenient products that Ah Handa introduced into the society.

Yun Ke took Qingqiao's charcoal pen and wrote on the instant paper. This paper is the work of both painstaking efforts. Both are now in prison, waiting for the emperor to be gracious or condemned. And the paper she made circulated freely in the world.

How wonderful it is that man is so weak and short. And what people create can be longer than people.

Yun Ke scribbled and explained: "According to my thoughts, it's better to be like this." I will take these pieces of land and help you open fields and build canals. There are indeed mines underneath these lands. On the other hand, we are really working on the benefits of the local community. The eldest master doesn't have to take any responsibility, just turn a blind eye. Everything else has never happened to us, don't you think? ”

Cao Mujian said that he wanted to bow back, but in fact, he wanted to discuss it with Master Zhan and other officials first. They went out to take counsel. Qingqiao looked at Yun Kenu's mouth, meaning: "You are too anxious, they are suspicious!" ”

Yun Ke shrugged his eyebrows, meaning: "Look at it! ”

After a while, Cao Mujian and the others came back, and it was still Cao Mujian who spoke: "Then you ......" wanted to ask him how much money he paid, and his old face turned red, and he couldn't say anything about bargaining.

It was Yun Ke who took the initiative to say: "10,000 sheep are wrapped in trumpets to serve the country." In addition, there is filial piety. ”

"Who wants your filial piety!" Cao Mujian said angrily.

The local officials stepped forward and said that the city's urban construction lacked how many silver taels they had, and hoped that Yunke would repay them.

Yun Ke hesitated.

Qingqiao bit her lip and smiled secretly: You are now putting up the score!

To say that Yun Ke's rhythm is really well mastered, they felt that he was very honest at first, but now they are really worried, afraid that their price is too high.

Yun Ke let them beat the drum in their hearts for a while, and finally said: "As for me, I am also a second shopkeeper, and there is the boss on top." I don't count. ”

Old Master Zhan asked, "Do you want to go back and ask for instructions?" ”

Time is urgent. Please show you, the daylilies are cold.

Yun Ke said generously: "Outside, you have a life and you don't have to accept it!" If we do business, we can't ask for instructions on everything, otherwise this business can't be done, right? ”

Everyone nodded secretly.

Yun Ke said again: "But ......"

Everyone's hearts have risen a little more.

Yun Ke was puzzled: "I have to explain sooner or later." In case the book is too ugly. I won't have to do business anymore. The boss has to eat me! ”

Old Master Zhan said, "Then what do you mean?" "Can't wait to ask Yun Ke to make a price.

Yun Ke sighed: "There is really no spectrum of how much mineral energy can be produced. Or, see how much you can prescribe, and then see how much you can honor? ”

This is called paying back the money on the spot. I don't even want to give an accurate number, one push and two wipes, it's not clean!

The people in the city did not agree, and they still had to set a base number. Yun Ke continued to negotiate with them, but the price was already lower than what they originally wanted. Yun Ke also put forward an additional condition: to ask the Weicheng official to supervise the black mines more strictly, which is also an official position. The management is strict, the black mine owner is timid, and the market is given to Yunke. (To be continued......)
