Chapter 27 What kind of ditch should be squeezed often

The list that was finally sent to Li Huaitang was very informative, which surprised Li Huaitang. Is this the legend, what ditch is the same as time, squeeze it, or is there something? It seems to have to be crowded a lot.

Wumeng felt that Li Huaitang's gaze was a little weird, very.

Doesn't it mean that Shi Guo is not rich? Is the big cannibal squeezing very badly? Why is there so much floating wealth? Li Huaitang was very moved by the methods of hiding wealth of the people of Shi Guo, and their attributes were all mice?

On the list, it is impressive:

War horses: one hundred and fifty-two. Camels: fifty-eight

Leather armor: 320 pairs.

Chain mail: One hundred and fifty-two pairs.

Horn bows: 100. Longbows: Three hundred. Feather Arrows: 3,000 branches.

Crossbows: Ten. Crossbow bolts: 200 sprigs.

Saddles: three hundred and thirty-eight.

Silk: fifty-five horses and three zhang.

White Diebu: 850 horses.

Wheat: 5,400 hus. Some forage.

Ox: 300 heads. Sheep: 25,000.

As for gold, silver, gems and the like, Li Huaitang didn't bother to look at it. In short, it is a lot.

These nobles themselves are businessmen, and there have been wars in recent years, especially this year, and the wars seem to be on fire. Like flies that smell carrion, the Rites, who are skilled in business, have begun to hoard large quantities of materials related to the war. Needless to say, food is the first material of war. The most surprising thing was that one merchant had stockpiled a large number of horned bows, longbows, and crossbows.

Li Huaitang saw that there was a bow and crossbow, and his eyes lit up. Immediately let Umon find out the situation, and bring the nobleman who dared to smuggle weapons to the back hall.

Li Huaitang looked at the Rite who was brought to him, with a temperament more like a businessman than a nobleman, and wondered in his heart how to make this Chestnut willingly cooperate with him.

"Ask him, what's his name?"

Li Huaitang motioned for Wumeng to do the interpreter.

"General, my name is Kang Mosa."

Hearing that Li Huaitang was talking about Tang Yan, the bold Kang Mosa didn't wait for Wumeng to translate, and unexpectedly replied in Tang Yan.

Kang Mosa guessed at a glance that the young man in front of him who spoke must be the legendary leader of the horse bandits, otherwise, Wumeng would not be respectful. That's why it's smart to call the general. It's just that this horse bandit is so young that he is surprised, and his pair of bright eyes make a deep impression on him.

"Oh? Mr. still understands Tang Yan, surnamed Kang, Kang Guoren? ”

Li Huaitang was not surprised, he now knew that if the Li people who ran the Tang Dynasty to do business did not understand Tang Yan, it would be surprising.

I was still a little nervous just now, so Kang Mosa politely made up a salute, and then said, "Yes, General, in order to escape the persecution of the Great Cannibals, our Kang family moved from Samarkand ten years ago. Mo Suo has been going to Datang with his father to do business since he was a child, so Tang Yan still knows a little. ”

"Very good, I think the Kang family is doing a very good business."

Li Huaitang said meaningfully.

Kang Moshao suddenly became nervous, and said to himself: Didn't you know that I was hiding money?

Li Huaitang didn't know Xiao Jiujiu in Mo Sao's heart, beckoned Mo Su to sit down, and went straight to the point: "Can Mr. Mo Shao do a deal with me on the Tang Dynasty bow and crossbow?" In terms of price, it can be based on the market price. Never treat Mr. badly. ”

"This? This one...... It was the honor of the Kang family to be able to do business with the general, but the road was impassable, and the general must have known it. ”

If you want to refuse, you will try first.

Li Huaitang knew what the old fox was worried about, and turned to Wumeng to look.

Umeng immediately understood.

"All the property donated by the Kang family will be returned. As for military materiel, it is fully compensated according to market value. If you have the means to work with us, we can pay half of the deposit upfront. ”

Wumeng's sincerity fist is completely like a businessman's posture. When Ummon was a steward, he negotiated with many merchants, including Shamur and Abdullah.

Wumeng was so powerful just now, and Mo Suo can be regarded as insightful. When he was holding the sheepskin, he was still hesitating whether to hide those Tang bows and crossbows, after all, these bows and crossbows were very valuable. However, Umeng's intimidation frightened him, and if the people he sent followed him to the Kang family's warehouse and found these things, the Kang family would be doomed. Moreover, after this banquet, I am afraid, no one here will dare to take his weapon again. For the sake of safety, sixty percent of the treasure has been donated, and there is no risk for this little thing. So he wrote the bow and crossbow on sheepskin. Unexpectedly, it attracted the summons of the horse bandit leader.

Mo Shao hesitated for a moment, his heart was a little excited and a little scared.

Excitedly, Mo Sao's younger brother told him after returning from Datang this time that he had set up a stable channel in Datang, and as long as there was enough gold and silver, any kind of weapon could be obtained. Before returning to Hezhong, he also agreed with the other party to trade a big deal. At that time, Mo Suo thought that the war had started, the trade routes were impassable, and he had not yet found a suitable sales target. People who can buy these things are not good people, and if they are not careful, they will put everything into it, including their net worth. So, at that time, Mo Suo asked his younger brother to stop the deal for the time being.

In front of him, this horse bandit happened to mention the deal, and it seemed that the opportunity was pressing. If successful, the Kang family can create a new world.

After weighing it for a long time, he still felt that the risk was too great, the reputation of the horse bandits was not very good, and if there was a slight difference, the whole family would be rich.

But the deal that the bandit sent to him really couldn't be pushed back, and it was not a good thing to anger the bandit leader.

If you can't push it off, let's open your mouth, first, you can try to tempt, and second, I hope that the high price can scare them off.

So he said: "Please General and Mr. Wumeng Mingjian, since the Tuqi Shi people invaded the Hezhong area, the passage into the Tang Dynasty through Broken Leaves has been blocked. Originally, the Kang family's trade route of broken leaves was just a cover, mainly to cover the passage of smuggled weapons from other mountain roads, and our Kang family also relied on this secret trade route to eat. However, if you go this way, the risks are also very high. In addition, the crossbow itself is very expensive, and it is difficult to buy. ”

Mo Shao paused, observed Li Huaitang's face, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he continued: "So, the Tang bow transported here can be sold for twenty pieces. ”

In Kaiyuan, the price of a medium-to-high good horse in Datang was only about ten yuan, and a bucket of rice in Chang'an was only sold for more than ten yuan. Mo Sa thinks the price he offers is enough to scare off any buyers.

Li Huaitang smiled and said, "The floating wealth donated by Mr. Mo is seriously inconsistent with the income from Mr. Mosa's trading!" ”

Mo Suo said: It's bad, I only thought of scaring him off with the price, but I didn't want to show the flaws.

Mo Suo's face turned pale, and he said, "Ah! General, don't, don't get me wrong, I, I'm not that, that means. ”

Li Huaitang waved his hand at him and said, "What you just said, I can assume that I didn't hear it." ”

When the sensitive Mo Shao heard that Li Huaitang had changed the title of Mr. to you, he was suddenly anxious, and suddenly knelt down: "General, Mo Shao is greedy and has quoted a high price." Please punish the general. ”

"There is no need to punish him, it's just business. Mr. asks for a sky-high price, and I don't bargain. In this way, each two-stone horn bow is twenty times, a Tang longbow is sent, and each crossbow is thirty times. ”

Li Huaitang knew the difference between the horn bow and the longbow from the sunspot, the horn bow is a recurve compound bow, suitable for cavalry use, only the Tang Dynasty knows how to produce, it is said that six kinds of materials are used, and it takes three years to cure one, and the longbow is a single bow, mainly made of hardwood, compared with the material, time and cost, it is much cheaper than the angle bow, so it is also used as training. Due to the use of a little composite material to improve the elasticity, the Datang longbow is shorter than that made by the grassland peoples, more convenient to use, and more stable.

The angular bow is short, but due to the use of six kinds of materials through fire roasting, lamination, two to three years to cure, the back of the arch is reversed like a B-shaped, elastic, durable, high technical requirements, suitable for riding and shooting. But it's expensive.

The longbow, on the other hand, is shaped like a thin D, and the bow can be as high as an eyebrow. The manufacturing process is simple, as long as the material is sufficient, it can be produced in large quantities, and the price is cheap. The lead bow has high stability and is easy to operate, and is suitable for large-scale deployment for infantry.

As for crossbows, it is forbidden to buy and sell them among the people in Datang. As long as the grinding can be obtained, it is already a surprise, so the price of thirty guan is also affordable.

"I hope that Mr. Mo Su can deliver a batch within half a year. I have no copper coins, and I pay in gold and silver. ”

Li Huaitang's tone was non-negotiable.

If the transaction is made at this price, I am afraid that the Kang family will soon become the richest man in the river. Moreover, this horse bandit leader, oh no, it was the general, promised to compensate for the hundreds of bows and crossbows he had just donated at this price. At the moment, my heart was beating wildly. I didn't expect this young general to be so rich, and it was rare to be so generous.

The temptation is too great!

The lucrative profits are enough for the mill to trample on all the laws of the world. Therefore, Mo Suo couldn't refuse and took this big deal against his will.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Wumeng personally took people and Mo Sa to the Kang family's warehouse that night for delivery, and paid the deposit for the next batch of goods. As for the other nobles, they sent someone to supervise the collection of goods and ransom, and inspected them by the way.

Hongmen Yan unexpectedly struck a deal with Mo Sa, which gave Li Huaitang a new idea.

In the past few days, I have looted, well, civilization, I should have earned so much floating money. Originally, he just casually regarded them as rewards, but this transaction made Li Huaitang feel the use of money. In addition to the mill, isn't there also Sukhail? And the whole city, the whole river, the chestnut merchants? You can buy supplies from them! If Sukhail can get his hands on the Damascus scimitar, it will be big......
