"Cao Wending, who is hitchhiking, has seen General Wang and General Huang." The person who came was a young man with clear eyebrows, who looked like he was only in his twenties, but when he faced Wang Jian and Huang Xiao, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't feel uneasy at all.

"Mr. Cao is very polite." Compared with Huang Xiao's angry eyes, Wang Jian was much more comfortable, and returned the salute: "Forgive Wang for being lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of hitchhiking, but Mr. can find Wang here, naturally he has an extraordinary background, and I ask Mr. Cao to make it clear." ”

Cao Wending smiled, "It's too presumptuous to come here, and it's hard to hate the general's suspicions, hitchhikers are the largest company engaged in the transportation industry in Dahan, and they are not well-known, and the general naturally hasn't heard of it, but the general must have heard of it." ”

"I was about to ask Mr. Cao for advice." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"The surname of the Dong family is Cao, and the name is Tiancheng." Cao Wen said.

"It turned out to be Lord Cao!" Wang Jian was surprised, Cao Tiancheng is a famous name in the Han Dynasty, he has been Gao Yuan's steward of the Eastern Army for many years, and has made great contributions to the Eastern Army and Gao Yuan, and later it was Gao Yuan who decided to withdraw from politics and turn to business, but no matter what, Gao Yuan has always trusted this person. Although Cao Tiancheng retreated, the power of the Cao family did not decrease slightly, his son Cao Tianci is the police minister of the Han State, holding great power, and his son-in-law Sun Xiao is the protector of the Eastern Capital of the Han Dynasty, and these two people, this time, they have seen it, this hitchhiker has such a hard background background, no wonder they can know their specific whereabouts in Dayan County.

"The Dong family has long been just a businessman!" Cao Wending said with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, please take a seat." Cao Wending's identity was determined. Wang Jian didn't dare to slack off, although the other party was just a businessman, but the other party's background was inevitably too terrifying. "I don't know what Mr. Cao came to Wang for late at night?"

"I heard that the general is in trouble now, and I want to come to help." Cao Wending got straight to the point.

"Did Mr. listen to Sun Duhu?" Wang Jian asked with a smile.

Cao Wending smiled, but did not directly answer Wang Jian's question: "Although the general got permission from the King of Han to buy advanced weapons from Da Yes, it seems that he has some strength in terms of financial resources?" ”

Huang Xiao on the side showed a sarcastic face. "Yes, this batch of weapons is worth a total of five million taels of silver, I wonder what Mr. Cao thinks about this amount?"

Wang Jian controlled thousands of miles of land, millions of soldiers and people, and now the cash in the treasury is only more than a million taels, just a cart and horse shop, how much financial resources can it, and he is still clamoring to help, he is really not afraid of the wind and flashes his tongue.

Cao Wending didn't seem to see Huang Xiao's mocking face. just nodded: "Five million taels of silver, that's five million yuan of Han Yuan, it's indeed a lot, General Wang bought so many weapons at one time, this is enough to equip forty or fifty thousand people." ”

Listening to Cao Wending's unintentional words, Huang Xiao was taken aback, he calculated the military purchase according to this number, how could Cao Wending calculate the specific number of people as soon as he heard the amount.

"How do you know?" He asked.

Cao Wending turned his head to look at Huang Xiao. "I'm afraid General Huang doesn't know that my hitchhiker is the leading leader in the Han transportation industry. Eighty percent of the escort of the Han ordnance was undertaken by our bank, so we are indeed familiar with how many weapons and equipment and how many men and horses. ”

"I see." Huang Xiao looked at him in surprise: "With such an ordnance escort, did the King of Han actually entrust your civilian carriage and horse shop?" ”

"Not only weapons, but also food and other military supplies. In our Han Dynasty, it was all undertaken by private carriages and horses, and the imperial court only paid for the transportation. Cao Wending said with a smile: "If we come to do it, it will not only be more efficient, but also save a lot of money and two benefits for the imperial court." Naturally, the king was happy to see it happen. ”

"I don't know what Mr. said earlier that he was willing to help us?" Wang Jian on the side interjected.

Cao Wending nodded, "This is the main purpose of my coming to the Great General today, as far as I know, the Great General seems to lack financial resources, and General Huang is also reluctant to borrow from the Central Bank of Dahan, thinking that their interest rate is too high, isn't it?" ”

"You can inquire clearly, yes, according to the interest on your loan from the Han Central Bank, we will not be able to pay it off in our lifetime." Huang Xiao said dissatisfied. "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, our shortfall is four million, and we originally planned to owe it first, but your director of the Military Industry Bureau, Gao Quan, told me that the people who produce these weapons are all private manufacturers, and it is impossible to accept such a large arrears, and if we want to buy them, we can only borrow money to pay these manufacturers in cash."

"Director Gao is right, if these manufacturers lend such a large amount of money, then they will not be able to turn around themselves, and what awaits them can only be bankruptcy." Cao Wending is definitely authentic.

"Isn't that just a freeze? We can't come up with that much money, but we don't want to take out loans either. Huang Xiao said a little frustrated.

"We can help with that." Cao Wending stared at Wang Jian and said.

"What? You will lend us four million taels, which is four million taels of silver, not a small amount. Wang Jian was taken aback, did Hitchhiker have such a strong force? You can take out four million taels of silver casually, which is a rich country.

"Four million dollars is indeed a lot of money, and it is not easy for us to come up with it in a moment, but we have our way." Cao Wending said with a smile. "We're willing to help."

"How much is the interest?" Naturally, there is no free lunch in this world, and if the other party is willing to help, there will naturally be conditions.

"We don't want interest." Cao Wending looked at Wang Jian, and casually threw out the earth-shattering words, "We provide interest-free loans, this loan can be repaid in ten years, and it is only 400,000 yuan per year, which I think the general is still very easy." ”

Huang Xiao was dumbfounded, is it really possible for this pie in the sky to happen?

Wang Jian was not as surprised and delighted as Huang Xiao, but looked at Cao Wending, "You have provided us with such generous conditions, I don't know what you want from me?" ”

Cao Wending struck his hands together and said with a smile: "The general is really extraordinary, in a word, we are businessmen, not good people, businessmen seek profits, we are paying these now, naturally we want to get more from the general, the meaning of the East family has two days, the first is that all the traffic arteries in the area under your control must be handed over to our bank to build, and the second one, your future military logistics transportation will be responsible for our bank." ”

"The second one is very understandable, you want to contract all the military transportation of our country like the Han to earn transportation fees, but the first one, please forgive me for not understanding that building roads for us is a matter of great benefit to our country, why do you put it forward as a condition?" Wang Jian said.

"There are still some things that the general has not figured out, in fact, this is already a very popular thing in our Han Dynasty, although our king has built two traffic arteries in the east and west and north and south, but the rest of the branch line projects, the Han really does not have the extra financial resources to solve it, so there are some businessmen who pay to repair the road, of course, after the road is repaired, it can be set up to collect money. Generally speaking, if a businessman wants to repair that kind of article, he needs to first approve it with the Ministry of Construction, and after getting the approval, he can start construction, and he can charge a fee from the date of completion, and this period is generally fifty years. That's what we want, all the roads in your territory are invested and built by us, and then we set up card fees, and the toll period is also 50 years, and after 50 years, these roads will be owned by you, how about it? ”

Wang Jian was silent, he needed to take a good look at the benefits here, any of the two proposed by Cao Wending, not only civil, but closely related to the military, if all the roads in the country are built by hitchhiking, the toll is secondary, the key is that in the future, their domestic transportation network is no longer a secret for the Han, Wang Jian can be sure that as soon as the other party finishes repairing, his complete domestic transportation network map will appear on the high desk, Second, all the army's transportation materials are entrusted to the civilian sector to transport, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal.

"General, our king once said a famous saying, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the development of our Han in the past few years has fully proved this farsightedness, you are afraid that you do not have the financial resources to complete the domestic transportation construction, in this case, why not hand it over to us? We can indeed profit from it, but for the general, how can it not be a good thing, you have also looked at the traffic situation in our country, don't you want your territory to be like the Han, convenient to come and go, not to suffer from rain and snow, mud and tired? ”

"As for our many years of experience in undertaking military transportation, needless to say, you only have tens of thousands of horses now, which is the needs of hundreds of thousands of horses in the Han Dynasty, and we have always done it properly, and there will be no mistakes.

Seeing Wang Jian's hesitation, Cao Wending was pure and seductive.

"It's a big trouble, and we need to think about it." Wang Jian said.

"Of course, of course, we also know this, but we need you to make a decision as soon as possible, General, in order to show sincerity, if we reach this agreement between the two sides, we will transport this batch of goods to your territory for free, to be honest, if you want to transport this batch of goods, I am afraid the cost will not be less than 100,000 yuan."
