Compared with some inland cities with many shops, people don't need to choose the time to shop. However, in many remote towns in the southwest, such a convenient shopping environment is rare, and vendors often choose a fixed time to do business.

Rushing to the market and catching up has become a shopping event for the people, and on the corresponding day, the small town will be lively once in a while. Even in later generations, there are many such cases. This shows how bad the business climate is in these remote towns.

Hu Biao already has some understanding of this situation. In later generations, he served in fashion and so, and the situation in these small towns today will only be worse than in later generations. A small county like Shillong is not bustling a few times a year.

In many cases, only when the caravan came, the mountain people from ten miles and eight towns would pour into the county seat. Take the possessions you have accumulated to the city and buy or exchange them with the vendors of the merchants. In this way of trading, things naturally cannot be sold at a price.

In the same way, for those caravan traders who go to business, they take such a big risk to come to such a remote town to do business for only one purpose, and that is to make money. Sell your own goods at a high price and buy the people's goods at a low price.

Only in this way can the vendors make money, and the vendors will feel that the effort is proportional to the return. Over time, the mountain people and the common people can't sell their things for a price, and they look forward to the things outside, and it is normal for them to get poorer and poorer.

The news that the new head of the security regiment and the county magistrate had brought a large number of horses quickly spread with the onlookers. Although the goods have not yet been put out, many people feel that the county should be lively again.

The people of the city, who had been afraid before, looked at the members of the horse team who had begun to set up tents in the open space in the city, and gradually some people came boldly and asked, "Are you here to sell goods?" When can I trade? ”

Just because you're poor doesn't mean there's no business opportunity. On the contrary, many things produced in the backwoods often sell for high prices when sold outside the mountains. The premise is that these things have people who know the goods and can sell them.

In the face of these people's inquiries, the members of the horse team who had already been explained quickly replied: "Yes! It's just that there are a lot of goods brought this time, and we have to sort them out first. If you are the fastest, you should have to wait until the day after tomorrow to trade! ”

"Then you will receive the goods, shall you?"

"Collect, mountain goods, furs, medicinal materials, and grain!"

Most of the horse guides who were hired were often on the road to do business, and they knew what the people in the mountains lacked. Correspondingly, they also know what the mountain people in the mountains have. Swapping things for things is also a way of settlement.

As the news spread among the people who were questioned, the mountain people from ten miles and eight villages outside Xilong City would come with their accumulated goods. The people are no strangers to things like this. I only know that this time I can buy and sell goods again.

By nightfall, the makeshift camp had been built, and it didn't look much different from the makeshift barracks. In addition to gunmen standing guard outside the camp, temporary machine-gun emplacements were set up in the camp.

Similarly, Zhu Chengzong, who took over the Fuku County Ya, also learned some about the county Ya. As his predecessor said, the poor in the county government can starve rats to death. Regarding this situation, Zhu Chengzong was a little surprised but didn't say much.

As for the military camp that Qin Tianyou took over, the situation was no better than that of the county government. After shocking those officers, Qin Tianyou quickly brought a batch of guns, ammunition and supplies from the caravan, and ordered the military camp to have more food that night.

Smelling the smell of meat coming from the room, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment whose weapons were confiscated also said expectantly: "The new chief will be able to eat meat as soon as he arrives, and it seems that this commander should be good." I just don't know what will happen in the future! ”

"Who knows! As long as I can eat enough every day, I don't care who I work for! You didn't see it earlier, but the guns of the new chief's subordinates are all brand new, and there are even a lot of flower traps. These soldiers, I'm afraid they are all elite! ”

Qin Tianyou didn't pay too much attention to the soldiers' discussions. As far as he was concerned, the soldiers could not make a big wave when the weapons were collected and put into storage. As for how to deal with these soldiers in the future, Qin Tianyou also has his own ideas.

When the officers and soldiers of the security regiment began to eat meat together, Zhu Chengzong, who was located in the county office, also accepted the banquet of his predecessor. On the other hand, Hu Biao's words made people set up a radio station, began to contact the outside world, and issued some corresponding instructions.

The assault battalions selected from the Anhuashan base have arrived in the southwest by boat and have rushed to the territory of Longzhou one after another. According to Hu Biao's orders, Liu Shixing, the head of the intelligence team who stayed in Longzhou, would purchase a batch of goods for the assault battalion to escort over.

In a short period of time, if Shillong wants to develop rapidly, it is indispensable to purchase materials from outside. Even taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao brought Li Dacheng, the leader of the horse team, and planned to negotiate a long-term deal with him.

Hearing the goods that Hu Biao needed to procure, Li Dacheng was also very surprised: "Boss, so many goods, can you eat them?" ”

"As long as you can bring in the goods, I will have as many as I want. You are also a veteran, and you are more familiar with the southwest border than me. When I take care of the matter in Shillong, I will also carry out some construction here in the future, and even open some factories.

I don't dare to say anything about other places, at least the bandits around Shillong, and I will send someone to clean them up when the time comes. If possible, I'll hire some people to repair the road in and out of Shillong to protect the horse traders.

On the way here, I'm sure you also saw how I treated bandits. It can be said that the bandits are unclear and the trade routes are not quiet. Shillong seems to be a remote place, but it is actually the intersection of three provinces. If you can open up the trade route, it will not be difficult to prosper. ”

Regarding the development plan of Shillong, Hu Biao naturally had a plan. Even if the situation in the southwest is more complicated, there is no need to worry about any deadly threat in the short term. Most importantly, it doesn't get much attention from the outside world.

Building roads, factories, schools and hospitals, and even building the first airport in the heart of the mountains are all things Hu Biao needs to do next. The opening of this series of projects naturally requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

In terms of funds, Hu Biao is not short for the time being. Moreover, Hu Biao has found a new source of finance, and I believe that there will be a steady stream of funds in the future. As a reborn family, Hu Biao naturally knew that there was wealth waiting to be discovered.

What's more, Hu Biao, who came to Xilong this time, also plans to open some mines here. Based on his experience in serving in the southwest in his previous life, Hu Biao knew that there were some small gold and silver mines in the southwest, which were relatively easy to mine.

Although this is a bit unkind, in this situation, Hu Biao must also find a way to earn more wealth. Only in this way can the subsequent development plan be supported. If you want to complete your plan, money is extremely important.

As a horse gang who has been running horses and doing business all year round, he was a little surprised and surprised to hear that Hu Biao actually planned to open up a business route in Xilong. In Li Dacheng's view, there is really nothing to be desired in a place like Xilong.

But Li Dacheng didn't know that when the Japanese army invaded Gui Province, Longzhou, which was prosperous and lively at the moment, would be reduced to a ruin in an instant. When the time comes, these caravans in the southwest want to purchase goods, and they can only look for another place.

After only a year or two, Hu Biao believes that Shillong will become a new cargo distribution center. In the future, as long as the corresponding taxes are collected, Hu Biao will make a lot of money. With this kind of influence, are you afraid that you will not get the support of the people and business circles in the southwest?

Looking at Li Dacheng, who was still pondering, Hu Biao also said directly: "At present, it is difficult to do business in the southwest places, in addition to the difficulty of roads, it is more of a serious problem of banditry. If you are not careful, you may end up with no personal wealth.

The only way to change this situation is to open up more trade routes and eliminate the bandits who are the one who is the cause of the trouble. Regarding these problems, I will try my best to solve them in the future. In the future, I may even send my subordinates to escort supplies for you.

When my follow-up subordinates arrive, I will also expand the scope of the bandits. Don't dare to say anything else, just a bunch of bandits, I will suppress them and have nowhere to hide. Even if they have a backstage, I'll fix it. Naturally, I will not be polite to those who are bad for me.

I don't dare to say anything else, but in Gui Province alone, as long as my name is played, I believe that those officials and soldiers will not stop me. I have a good relationship with the two chiefs, Li and Bai, and I believe that they will also sell my face, not to mention that this matter is also beneficial to them! ”

Hu Biao in other provinces has not yet opened up relations for the time being, but he believes that as long as he comes forward, the bigwigs who are in charge of the two provinces will give him a little face. Moreover, such things as suppressing bandits and trading are also profitable for them.

In the face of the conditions given by Hu Biao, Li Dacheng also said happily: "Thanks to the commander's attention, Dacheng will definitely inform the horse teams of the news." I don't dare to say whether others will come or not, but my horse team will do their best to serve the chief! ”

"Thank you! Everything has a first time, whether I am worth cooperating with, and we also need a process of trust and adaptation with each other. In addition, I bother Li Tou to spread another news, that is, come to me to trade, and you can also trade some things that you urgently need.

Walking in the southwest all year round, I believe you also know that bandits in the southwest are not easy to mess with. If you have enough manpower and enough weapons and ammunition, I believe that any bandits who want to attack your idea should also consider the consequences, right?

I don't know where you buy your weapons from, but I'm sure they shouldn't be cheap. If you choose to send the goods to me for trading, then I can sell weapons and ammunition, and the price is definitely lower than others.

As long as you pay for it, machine guns and mortars are not a problem. If you think it's too expensive, you can pay my men to escort you. If anything goes wrong, I promise to compensate you for your losses. ”

The formation of a dart game is also one of Hu Biao's plans. In Hu Biao's view, the troops that were recruited in the follow-up were implemented in the way of bringing the old with the new, and the trained recruits were used as dart divisions to fight bandits and accumulate actual combat experience.

While making money, you can also learn more about the terrain in the southwest, and provide more help for the follow-up troops to develop in the southwest. As long as you escort a few trips safely, I believe those vendors will also choose, this kind of safe and secure cooperation!
