Chapter 84 Jingping Exchange
Jingping Village, Zhongli Hall.
In the Book Pavilion.
"Brother Tan, what is the current situation in Runan?" Mu Jingpan sat on the Taishi chair, looked at Tan Zong standing in front of him, and asked.
Three days ago, Makiyama, you had already led your troops out on the expedition.
People under the eaves, can not help but bow their heads, at present, Mushan in the name of Zhang Chuan based on Wuyin, subject to Wancheng, can only obey the situation, the expedition is inevitable, now can only fight this battle well.
According to his memory, although the Runan Yellow Turban has been tossed a lot in history, it has not become a climate.
But that's for the whole world.
In terms of local battles, in fact, the Runan Yellow Turban still has some strength, and in history, the imperial court also sent one of the eight captains of the West Garden to lead the army to recruit, but they all returned in vain, it is conceivable that this part of the Yellow Turban Army is still difficult to be tenacious.
The Runan Territory itself has three major Yellow Turban Qu Marshals, with Gong Du and Liu Pi being the strongest, and they each have at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, if you add some bluffing old and weak women and children, it will not be a problem to pull up more than 100,000 each.
Even Huang Shao, who is a little less powerful, has more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, and in the north of Runan, at the junction with Yingchuan, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses commanded by the Qu Shuai He Yi and He Man brothers.
The four Yellow Turban soldiers and horses, adding up to hundreds of thousands, to say that it is a little difficult to defeat the entire Yuzhou, but it is enough to turn Runan upside down.
His father Mu Shan now only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Nanyang sent troops, at most about 20,000 or 30,000, the most important thing is that the Nanyang army is unstable, and there are many people in Nanyang who want Mu Shan to die.
"The report is less in charge, now the situation in Nanyang has completely festered, but we don't have much substantive news, after all, we are still not very familiar with Runan, and we don't have much eyeliner, we can only learn a thing or two from some caravans coming and going from the south to the north!"
Tan Zong said in a deep voice: "At present, among the news we know, Gong Du and Liu Pi gathered troops and horses, occupied the land of Gepo as the main camp, based on Shangcai County, and held the Runan County soldiers of Pingyu County, and Runan Taishou Yuan Yin accumulated a full 50,000 elite soldiers, and the troops were stationed in Pingyu City, blocking the footsteps of the Yellow Turban Army to the east, but the northern part of Runan was also occupied by the main force of Huang Shao and He Yi. ”
"The Yingchuan soldiers have been defeated?"
"Hmm!"
"They are so unbeaten, or the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is beyond our imagination!" Mu Jing frowned: "It seems that this Yellow Turban Army is not easy to fight!" ”
"Gepo?"
Mu Jing spread out a cowhide map, the military drawings of this era are very rough, but the terrain can still be roughly depicted, Ge Po's location is outside the city of Shangcai County, which is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
This time the Yellow Turban Uprising, many people called this Yellow Turban Army Gepo Yellow Turban, because they revolted from Gepo.
"Brother Tan, you send some spies to keep an eye on the speed of the march in the direction of your father's soldiers and horses, and report any situation immediately, don't be lazy!" Mu Jing took a deep breath and said calmly and solemnly: "This battle is not easy to fight, I am still worried about my father!" ”
"The big boss is brave and good at fighting, with three thousand elites under his command, and the army is unstoppable, so there is no need to worry so much about the young master!"
Tan Zong said comfortingly.
"That's what I said!"
Mu Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "But we still have to be prepared, the most important thing is grain and grass, don't expect Wancheng to provide us with grain and grass, they can't wait for us to be defeated, so even if they agree to provide it, they will inevitably drag it out secretly, so we have to form our own grain road!" ”
The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
He didn't want to cause the defeat of Mushan's army because of the problem of grain and grass.
"We have enough food, but the problem is transporting it!"
"Uncle Zhao Ping wants to sit in Wuyin, they will definitely not be able to leave, Wuyin is our rear and cannot be messed up, so the matter of escorting grain and grass must fall on Uncle Zhang Gu!" Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "But Uncle Zhang Gu is currently also going to sit in Jingping Village, Jingping Village is our old nest, there are our relatives here, once it is defeated, the soldiers in front will inevitably be unstable, if he walks away, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second Jingping Battle, so he can't go away, it seems that only I am out in person!" ”
"The young master, the big boss strictly orders you not to appear on the battlefield!" Tan Zong hurriedly said.
Mujing pestered Mushan for several days, but Mushan did not let go.
In the end, when Makiyama went on the expedition, he told him that Mujing could not go to the battlefield, and he pitied the hearts of his parents all over the world, and Makiyama, as a father, naturally did not want to let the thirteen-year-old go to the cruel battlefield.
But Mu Jing knew that there was not much time left for him to adapt, the world was in chaos, and he had to adapt to the cruel battlefield in order to survive in the future.
"I'm just supervising the transportation of grain and grass, in the rear, not on the front line, my father shouldn't care!" Mu Jing had made up his mind, and he directly ordered: "You tell Lei Hu to let him select twenty elite students from the Wubei Hall and prepare to go north with me!" ”
He doesn't have to worry about transporting grain, Zhang Gu will arrange it, but the students of Wubeitang should also be strengthened, this time he selected twenty elite students to go north, that is, to observe the battlefield together, and it is not appropriate to go out behind closed doors, only the battlefield can raise excellent officers.
"No!"
The majesty of Mujing became more and more prosperous, and Tan Zong could only take the order.
********
Following.
Jingping Commercial Bank.
Before Mu Jing escorted the grain and grass to the north, he had to stabilize the results of the battle and unify the Wuyin business community, so he began to get busy, and soaked in the business house all day long, first of all, he inspected some merchants who had recently joined the business house.
"The purpose of Jingping Commercial Bank, to unite all the forces that can be united, we are an alliance, since it is an alliance, there must be different allies, among these merchants, some people can be trusted, but some people have to be guarded against!"
Mu Jing looked at Zhang Heng and said, "As the executive shopkeeper, you must have a scale in your heart, if you are not clear, it will be chaotic, and if you are clear, you will be stable!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Heng didn't feel embarrassed at all when he was reprimanded by Mu Jing, as if everything was taken for granted, and he didn't care that Mu Jing was just a thirteen-year-old boy.
"How did we lose in the previous food price war?" Mu Jing asked.
Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.
Lowering grain prices, Jingping Commercial Bank also suffered a lot of damage, but this is all their willingness, winning this battle, it is not wealth that wins, but an opportunity, a chance to straighten up and be a man.
"Actually, there is not much to lose!"
Zhang Heng said: "After the collapse of grain prices, we began to repurchase, at present, in our Jingping warehouse, there are more than 30,000 stones of grain, and now the price of grain is beginning to pick up, and even when we fight for prices, our damage is far below those merchants of the Gong family, after all, we are dominant!" ”
"Is there any hard data?"
"It's less than five hundred gold!"
"It's a tolerable outcome!"
Mu Jing showed a smile: "What is the current situation of other prices!" ”
"After the collapse of food prices, many prices have been affected, but we have vigorously stabilized the current market price, but we can't mess up!"
Zhang Hengdao.
"Well done, you must not mess with this aspect!"
Mu Jing pondered for a moment and felt guilty, and said, "I have a plan!" ”
"Big shopkeeper, please speak!"
"I'm going to open an exchange in the East Marketplace!" Mu Jing stood up and looked at the bamboo outside the window, and the thoughts in his heart became hotter and hotter.
"Exchange?" Zhang Heng didn't quite understand.
"The so-called exchange, is the formation of a large trading place, price is one of the most important conditions for trading, we can mark the price of the day on the exchange, the price in our hands, we say the price is the price of the transaction, and even more, we can exchange information on the exchange, such as what foreign caravans want to buy, as long as the exchange is hung on the plaque, the exchange is reconciled, for him to find a seller of goods, and for example, some shops need to be sold urgently, It can also be linked to the exchange......"
Mu Jing began to analyze endlessly, he used the concept of current finance, and planned to build a financial center here.
Now Wuyin businessmen, sixty or seventy percent belong to Jingping Commercial Bank, and it has the coverage of Jingping Commercial Bank, and there is absolutely no problem in setting up a trading center in Wuyin.
"Is there really a person in the world who is born to know?"
The more Zhang Heng listened, the more fascinated he became.
He never knew that business could do that.
With his business vision, he can naturally see the extraordinary nature of this exchange, the geographical location of Wuyin here is originally to undertake the north and south, once this powerful exchange is established, Wuyin County will be the center of caravans coming and going, and Wuyin's economy will also take off.
This will be a milestone for the merchants.
He looked at Mu Jing's eyes, and became more and more reverent.
