Chapter 664: Waiting for the Price to Sell
There is a certain etiquette agreement between the nobles.
So Fei Qian now thinks this excuse is a little funny.
Just here to congratulate?
Congratulations empty-handed?
Although Fei Qian is not a fan of wealth who values gifts, he has prepared some etiquette of the scholar clan a little, and he does not need any gold and silver treasures, and the meeting gift between the scholar clan does not need that.
According to Feiqian's current standards, it is a bit too much to send geese, and there is basically no problem with sending white geese, even if there are no geese and white geese in Taihang Mountain, catch two pheasants and ducks to make do with it, and there will be no problem.
Looking at Fuyun's slightly embarrassed look, Fei Qian suddenly realized that in Taihang Mountain, even pheasants and ducks could not be caught......
Can't you really catch it?
Now the population of the Montenegrin army is so large, pheasants and wild ducks ......
I'm afraid I ate it clean, right?
"So thank you General Pingnan......" Fei Qian smiled, forget it, don't care about that.
Anyway, it was definitely not a special trip to congratulate, and the news of General Zhang Yan is also well-informed enough, and it has only been a few days, and I have gotten information in the deep mountains.
Fei Qian suddenly thought of a possibility, and said, "When Wen Taishou was in power, I don't know if General Ping Nan often corresponded with him? ”
"Not yet. Occasionally, I went down the mountain to buy, but there was no contact. Fuyun said.
The speaker has no intention, but listens with a heart. So there are people from Montenegro in Huguan now? Fei Qian quickly realized this, the news was not intentionally revealed, but Zhang Yan sent someone down the mountain to inquire.
The Montenegrin Army has a place to go to the party!
Fei Qian continued to drink tea, and thought about it quickly, forget it, don't worry about it for the time being, anyway, if you want to withdraw from the party, these things can't be dealt with in a hurry now.
However, Fuyun also revealed another news in his words, if this Fuyun didn't deliberately tell a lie to guide Fei to take a detour, then it means that life in Montenegro is not very easy now......
The economic production conditions of the Han Dynasty were destined to be impossible to sit at home with a mobile phone like later generations, and you could chop your hands in a variety of ways, and even what you want to run errands came into being......
But the Han Dynasty is not good, many things are not traded, not exchanged, there is no way to obtain, Taihang Mountain may be able to find some food, but what about the things to wear, what about the things used, daily necessities, pots and pans, and even the weapons of the soldiers, what about these losses?
One is to take the troops down the mountain to the surrounding counties to loot like Bai Huan, Zheng Gu, Yu Poison and others, and the other is to buy and trade with the surrounding counties.
Because of the relationship between Huguan, it is still not very convenient to raise troops into Shangdang, so according to Montenegro's previous strategy, it is to go south out of Taihang, and then go to Hanoi, Wei County and other places to loot, and if there is anything lacking, take the stolen money to the Shangdang market to purchase......
But now this model is working badly.
If you trade directly in the market, Montenegro does not have much money, and there are many things, there is not much stock in the market, and there are even some items that cannot be bought in the market......
For example, war consumables, arrows.
You may be able to buy arrows from ordinary blacksmiths, but one of those things is very expensive, and the other is not necessarily standard, and the weight of each arrow may not be the same, and the tail feathers are of different lengths......
In addition, I heard that Cao Cao didn't annihilate the White Ring Department some time ago, and Yu Poison seems to have been defeated? So this is basically a loss of troops, and then no supplies are obtained.
In this way, will Montenegro have a good time this year?
Fei Qian smiled slightly, and then stopped talking, waiting, since this is the case, Zhang Yan must have other meanings in sending Fuyun.
Sure enough, after a while, Fuyun spoke: "Zhonglang, there is something to ask for in the lowly position......
"What's the matter? Captain, please. ”
Fuyun's square face, the complexion that was a little tanned by the scorching sun also showed a little red, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "The cold winter is coming, the old and weak on the mountain have no clothes to keep out the cold, I originally wanted to buy some in the market, but the price of cloth on the market is really high...... I don't know if I can ask Zhonglang to take care of one or two, get the price of previous years, and purchase a number of ......"
Fei Qian was silent for a moment.
Fei Qian is naturally clear about the difference between the price of cloth in previous years and the price under the influence of bad money this year, and because the numismatic system has basically collapsed, cloth has become a general equivalent, and on many occasions it acts as the object of exchange, so the small amount of cloth on the market is even more scarce......
Logically speaking, Fei Qian should not give any supplies to the Montenegrin Army, but Fei Qian knew in his heart that most of these Montenegrin Army people were not extremely vicious people, just like those who were wrapped in the White Polish Army, except for some people whose hands were bloody and had lost their humanity, most of the others were still timid and fearful ordinary people.
So to give or not to give?
Fei Qian didn't say that Montenegro was called the army, but in fact he was still doing the work of thieves and so on, because Fei Qian knew that it was useless to say it, a loose organization like the Montenegrin army, not to mention floating clouds, even Zhang Yan might not be able to control all the troops.
Yes, those Montenegrin thieves who did evil in Hanoi and Wei County are not worthy of pity even if they freeze to death, but what about the refugees who gathered in Montenegro because they fled? Nor does it deserve pity?
These refugees do not necessarily want to join the Montenegrin Army, but they will find that there is nowhere else to go but Montenegro.
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the displaced people have no human rights, no matter what the reason, there is no official place to leave, and if they leave the land, the government will only have two ends up if they are caught, and they will become hard labor, or confiscated into the army......
Therefore, Fei Qian looked at Fuyun and said, "There is no need to buy, allocate twenty pieces of cloth and you." ”
Fuyun hurriedly left the table and thanked him.
Fei Qian motioned for him to be flat, and then said: "There is only one word, bother the commander to bring and ...... general Pingnan"
"But Wen Zhonglang commanded."
Fei Qian said word by word: "Waiting for the price to sell, it is easy to miss the opportunity." ”
Fuyun was silent for a while, and then arched his hand and said, "The humble position will bring Zhonglang's words to you." ”
Perhaps the cloth used to ask for the cold is just a superficial act, and Zhang Yan, the general of Pingnan, is more of a way to test the attitude of Fei Qian, a powerful figure who has just moved into the party, towards the Montenegrin army. Then Fei Qian's last sentence is also very clear, which is both a reminder and a warning......
Selling at a price is not a derogatory term, it is neutral, so it may be better, but it may also be worse.
