Chapter 286: Ancient Sealing Methods
"The general is talking about the grain of our Chicheng and the salt on the other side of the Bohai Sea?" Seeing Jin Cheng and the two walking away, Dong Zhuang boldly guessed.
"That's right, it's really not good, we can only trade with the Khitan side of the 1.6 million stone grain that we have hoarded in Chicheng over the past, and the Bohai Dragon King's side, thousands of salt ponds produce 1,000 stone of salt every day, which is also the material we will trade in the future. These should be able to stand up for a while, as long as they are exchanged for war horses, cattle and sheep, they are not afraid of not being able to sell. Qin Forget said lightly.
Qin Forget said plainly, but Dong Zhuang gasped, millions of stone grain, a thousand stone of salt every day, this is Qin Wang's bet.
"General, you're gambling. Don't say that once we lose, we have nothing left in Chicheng, just trading with the Khitan for strategic materials such as grain and salt, how can the Dayan Imperial Court spare us? Although Dong Zhuang guessed it, he was still extremely surprised, and looked at Qin Forget in shock.
Qin Forget smiled bitterly, "Old Dong, we have no way to retreat in Chicheng, if we lose this time, then we will never recover." The court doesn't care about him, his life is almost gone, and he cares so much. Don't think too much, you go down to two things, one is to maintain the law and order of Akagi during this time, and the other is to train the troops, train the troops desperately, if you can't violate it, you have to rely on knives and guns. ”
"Yes, the last general will save it!" Dong Zhuang still wanted to say something, but he just looked at Qin Wang's resolute eyes, sighed, and still took the order and left.
"Tianxiang, do you think I'm doing something wrong?" Looking at Dong Zhuang's distant back, Qin Forget hesitated for a while, a little unsure if he had done something wrong and if his appetite was too big. Sometimes it's wise to make the right concessions. It's just that he knows that he won't be reconciled, and he is unwilling to end up picking up some leftover soup and water after such a hard layout.
Hearing Qin Wang's question, Dong Tianxiang's body was shocked, he had never seen Qin Wang's hesitation so much, and he also knew that his suggestion might affect Qin Wang's next decision, and then affect the development of the entire Chicheng, for a while he lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing Dong Tianxiang's appearance, Qin forgot to smile to himself, "Okay, this is too difficult for you, tell me, who else are among those people, right?" ”
"General, some of those people I see the shadow of their peers, but I can't find out which force they belong to yet." Dong Tianxiang saw that Qin Forget no longer asked that question, let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly replied.
"Secret agent?" Qin Wang's brows couldn't help frowning, "There's no need to distinguish them, they must be from the Central Plains countries, and there are even Khitans." I also know their purpose, send people to keep an eye on them, and don't startle the snakes. Also, Tianxiang, tell your subordinates to be careful, those people are real experts, learn more. ”
"Don't worry, General, as long as they are on our territory, they won't be able to turn the sky." Dong Tianxiang nodded in response.
"Well, go ahead, you've been working hard lately."
There were only two people left in the room, Qin Wang and Gu Feng, who had not left Qin Wang's side since Gu Feng was appointed by Qin Wang as a staff member.
"Mr. Gu, what should I do?" Qin Forget looked at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng pondered for a moment, "Returning to the general, my subordinates think that the general's strategy is really undesirable. Of course, it is impossible to give all the priority of facilities such as docks and warehouses to those five families, but they are determined to win, so why not take a compromise solution. ”
Qin Wang's eyes lit up, "Mr. teach me." He pleaded with Gu Feng Dao expectantly.
"Don't do this, general, it's just a matter for subordinates." Gu Feng hurriedly stood up and said politely, "Since there can be a priority, why can't there be a second priority?" There is a third, a fourth? The general can completely let those people compete, the first priority has been given to our own people, but the second priority is still very valuable, very simple, the highest price wins. ”
After listening to Gu Feng's words, Qin Wang's face became brighter and brighter, and he became more and more excited, "Haha, Mr. really woke up the dreamer with one word, since it is divided into priorities, why not divide it in detail?" At that time, we can completely announce that the first priority is left to us Akagi himself, so that the Chamber of Commerce will not be exposed in a short time. And the conflict between us and the five major families will not intensify quickly, yes, it's a good idea. Come, let's talk about the details. ”
Qin Forget was in a good mood, but he didn't know that this conversation turned out to be a whole night, no one knew what the two of them were talking about, and they could only hear the happy laughter of the two in the room.
In the early morning, the first rays of summer sunshine have just brought a little bit of heat.
"Squeak!" With a bang, the door of Jin Li and the others opened at the same time.
All five of them were dressed in formal clothes, the silk robes were intricately embroidered, and they did not wear too many jewels and jade, but the only one or two pieces were priceless. On his head, he wears a stiff toe or a high crown, and his hair is meticulously combed.
Today is the day when the five of them made an appointment to find Qin Wang.
"Haha, you're punctual!" Jin Li saw that everyone was cleaned up, laughed loudly, and made a gesture.
"Such a big event, naturally there will be no delay! Please, Brother Jin Li! Jia Xianqiu didn't return the salute, and said in a weird manner.
"Master, there is a person below who claims to be from Chicheng County and sent an invitation!" Jin Ligang stood up straight, and his subordinates walked up to him and handed him an invitation.
At the same time, four other house slaves walked to Jia Xianqiu and the four of them to present the same invitation.
Seeing this, the five of them looked at each other a few times, and a look of surprise and solemnity flashed in their eyes at the same time.
In fact, it was not only the five people who received the invitation, but also the businessmen who came to Akagi. When they gathered in Chicheng County, they were still confused, and they all talked about what Qin Forget meant by calling them together.
Only Jin Li and the others sat firmly in their seats and did not move, especially Jin Li, looking at the dozens of familiar or unfamiliar faces in the hall, his brows furrowed tightly. Since there is an invitation, there must be names on it, and the seats are also divided according to the strength of the merchants, just a few days, Akagi Fang
The name, place of origin, and strength of these people can be understood in person, and he has to reassess the strength of Akagi.
This is the result of Dong Tianxiang's cooperation with Jincheng and Chen Wan'er, Dong Tianxiang is responsible for finding out the details of the businessmen, and Jincheng and Chen Wan'er are responsible for estimating their strength, but they also guessed a rough idea.
Gu Feng appeared in a moon-white scholar's shirt in the impatience of these large and small businessmen.
"Student Gu Feng, I've seen you!" Gu Feng straightened his waist and arched his hand without being humble or arrogant.
Since Gu Feng was born and his status was high, these merchants didn't know much, so naturally they didn't have to salute them, and it was good if they didn't let these merchants salute him.
"What's the situation? Gather everyone and send such a sour dicing to come forward. What is that Qin Forget, it's really a pig's nose with green onions, pretending! Seeing Gu Feng appear, the merchants all clamored, and a fat man shouted loudly, arrogant to the extreme.
Gu Feng's white and tender face instantly darkened, scolding him for being sour, he didn't care, he had been abused in his life. But it's not okay to scold Qin Wang, the lord humiliates his ministers to death, which he absolutely can't bear.
"The Dai family in Suzhou, Chu State, is so arrogant. Come on, beat that madman out with a stick, and in Akagi in the future, he will not be allowed to take half a step in the Dai family! Gu Fengyin laughed and shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Two armor soldiers quickly walked in at the door, and they also heard the fat man's words just now, and they were also very angry in their hearts, and strode to the fat man's side, raising the scabbard and beating him hard. Because he hated him so much that he insulted Qin Wang, he used all his strength to beat the fat man and scream again and again, and was dragged out like a dead dog.
The eyelids of the other businessmen who watched this scene jumped, and they started fighting without saying a word, and directly deprived the Dai family of the right to trade in Chicheng, which was really ruthless.
The businessmen looked at each other left and right, and they stopped clamoring.
And Jin Li, whose eyelids had been drooping, suddenly lifted, looked Gu Feng up and down a few times, and then drooped again.
"Everyone, I wonder if you can listen to me?" Gu Feng Shi Ran sat on the main seat and asked with a smile.
Seeing Gu Feng's unpredictable face, these businessmen cheered up in their hearts, Akagi is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and a little-known scholar has such a means.
"Okay, since everyone doesn't speak, then the students do." Gu Feng saw that no one answered, and said to himself, "Everyone deigns to come to my Chicheng for the purpose of coming to Chicheng, everyone knows the name. Nothing else, just the right of first use of docks, warehouses, etc. For this matter, I, Akagi, also have a plan, and the first priority can only belong to me, Akagi himself. In addition to this, second, third and fourth priority rights are divided. As you know, my Akagi business is in a depression, and there is not much difference between the first and second use rights, because I don't have the strength to occupy all the facilities at once. Then the rest will go up and so on. ”
As soon as Gu Feng's words fell, the hall became as lively as a vegetable market, and the merchants didn't think that Akagi would make such a move, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
