Chapter 307: The Purpose of Zhu Hao's Grain Transaction

Zheng Zhilong listened to Zhu Hao's words, his expression became even more puzzled, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and said with a solemn expression:

"Lord Wang, you let the grass people ask the other party like this, isn't it the food ...... this time?"

Zhu Hao saw that Zheng Zhilong had already thought of the crux of the problem, so he nodded slightly, and then said:

"This king, there is no way to do this!"

"Jianyu, these bastards are all cowering east of the Liao River, and we don't know the situation on this grassland!"

"If you rush into the palace, you may lose a lot!"

"This king can only lead the snake out of the hole!"

"And what you're doing is bait for the snakes to move!"

"As long as you do a good job this time, what this king promised you will definitely do!"

Zhu Hao said that he promised Zheng Zhilong, which is what Zhu Hao promised Zheng Zhilong before, saying that Zheng Zhilong's descendants could be crowned marquis and pay homage.

After Zheng Zhilong knew what Zhu Hao was doing, he knew the danger of this trip, and after a while, Zheng Zhilong said with some hesitation:

"Lord Wang, what if the grass people ask like this and make the other party suspicious?"

Zhu Hao listened to Zheng Zhilong's words, and said with a slight smile:

"Boss Zheng, don't worry!"

"This king won't let you die!"

"Otherwise, this king will let you transport 100,000 stone of grain for the first time!"

"The reason why this king transports grain in three times is to let Jianyu gradually trust you!"

"Listening to what you just said, after reading Jianyu, I am basically defenseless against you!"

"Your trip will definitely be risk-free, and you will make a great achievement!"

"You can do what the king says with confidence!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhu Hao's confident demeanor, and his heart also had a little bottom, so he gave Zhu Hao a salute, and then went down to act according to Zhu Hao's instructions.

Zhu Hao's strategy of transporting grain to Houjin is actually not difficult to understand.

The cause of this incident was that after the Golden Turtle shrank to the east of the Liao River, Zhu Hao threw a mouse trap and did not dare to rashly cross the Liao River and attack the hinterland of Liaodong, because this uncertainty was too great.

In this way, Zhu Hao had to find a way to lure Houjin's army out, so he thought of using moldy grain to exchange Houjin's limited supplies.

In this way, when Houjin loses a large amount of materials and has no food, it will inevitably no longer shrink, but will invade Liaoxi and plunder.

Zhu Hao can fight in his native Liaoxi, so that it will be easier for him to look for opportunities and wait for the opportunity to clean up Houjin fiercely.

Of course, the reason why Zhu Hao is so cautious is because this is a battle in which Zhu Hao is preparing to stand up in western Liaoning, and he can only win and not lose.

Otherwise, the morale of the Ming army stimulated by the land reward policy he promulgated in the early stage of the city would disappear again.

Three days after Zheng Zhilong came to see Zhu Hao, Zheng Zhilong came to report that Houjin's Sanbeile Mang Gurtai had agreed to Zhu Hao's method of direct trading at the dock.

When Zhu Hao heard this, he nodded, and asked Zheng Zhilong to transport 10,000 stone of new grain and 50,000 stone of moldy grain onto the ship.

After the grain was delivered to the ship, Zhu Hao ordered Zheng Zhilong to immediately set off with Houjin for the third grain transaction, which was of course the most critical transaction.

Half a month after the second transaction, Zheng Zhilong once again arrived in the Liaohe River valley under the city of Shenyang to conduct the third grain trade with the three beyl mang gurtai of the Later Jin.

With the transportation of the two parties, 60,000 stone of grain was on the wharf temporarily built by Houjin, Zheng Zhilong stepped forward and took out an awl for grain inspection and handed it to Mang Gurtai Dao:

"Three Baylors, old rules, inspect the goods!"

Mang Gurtai, listening to Zheng Zhilong's words, laughed and said:

"Mr. Zheng, we both made two trades, doesn't Ben Baylor still believe you?"

"After Ben Baylor received your letter, he knew that Mr. Zheng was anxious to return to the Wa Kingdom!"

"I think this inspection will be exempted!"

"Ben Belle has ordered the cattle, sheep, horses, and cotton clothes to be carried on board!"

"When the move is finished, Mr. Zheng can go!"

Zheng Zhilong listened to Mang Gurtai's words, frowned slightly, and said:

"Three Baylors, trust is trust, inspection is inspection!"

"Since Sanbeiler doesn't inspect the goods, then Zheng will do it for you!"

Zheng Zhilong said, then picked up the awl for grain inspection, stabbed it hard at a sack containing grain, and then pulled out the awl, and the plump rice slipped out along the awl.

Zheng Zhilong walked up to Mang Gurtai with rice and said with a smile:

"Sanbele, the condition of the goods this time is not bad!"

Mang Gurtai looked at the plump rice, as if he had seen some treasure, his eyes were red, and he said with some excitement:

"Not bad!"

"Very good!"

"It's better than the last two times!"

Zheng Zhilong listened to Mang Gurtai's words, nodded, and then said:

"Let's take a look at the next pack!"

Saying that, Zheng Zhilong picked up the awl for grain inspection again, and stabbed it hard against another sack containing grain, and then pulled out the awl, and the plump rice slid out along the awl again.

In this way, Zheng Zhilong had a face and pierced more than a dozen sacks, and just when Zheng Zhilong was sweating on his forehead, Mang Gurtai behind him stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Zhilong's arm and said:

"That's it!"

"Enough!"

"Mr. Zheng, don't test again!"

"If you continue like this, you won't take this king as a friend!"

"Besides, our grassland is not as good as the Central Plains, and we can't afford to waste the grain you exposed!"

"If you waste it like this, this king will have to detain your horses, cattle and sheep, and cotton clothes!"

Mang Gurtai said with a hearty smile.

Zheng Zhilong knew that Mang Gurtai said that Houjin could not afford the cost of inspection, which was a joke.

But this made Zheng Zhilong breathe a sigh of relief, because if the inspection continued, then the moldy grain would be exposed, but fortunately, Mang Gurtai stopped him in time.

When secretly rejoicing, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but sigh that Zhu Hao's material was like a god, because among the 60,000 stone grain, the distribution of 10,000 stone of new grain was arranged by Zhu Hao in advance.

And Zheng Zhilong's active grain inspection just now was also instructed by Zhu Hao to do so before leaving, which has to be said that Zhu Hao has a thorough grasp of human nature.

Otherwise, these 50,000 stones of moldy grain are really not easy to deceive these people in Houjin, of course, this is also because, this time, otherwise it is Mang Gurtai who is trading, not Huang Taiji.

This is the so-called planning in the sky, and this time the heavens are indeed on Zhu Hao's side, which allowed him to pit the Houjin regime so smoothly.

After Zheng Zhilong loaded the horses, cattle and sheep and cotton clothes of Houjin onto the ship, he hurriedly set off and left the city of Shenyang.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong was apprehensive at this moment, which was much more exciting and thrilling for him than his raiding at sea.

Because Zheng Zhilong, this time at the behest of Zhu Hao, deceived the entire Houjin regime.
