Chapter 107: Plan Ahead
"Yes, it's the Western Turks." Li Wenyuan nodded and said: "The Western Turks have always been a big problem in my heart and must be eradicated, but now our intelligence network for the Western Turks is almost zero, which is not conducive to sending troops in the future, so I brought you here to want you to focus your recent work on the side of targeting the Western Turks." ”
Qiu Niang nodded: "It is true that the night owl has always infiltrated the Western Turks too little, but there is no way to do this, after all, the living habits of the Hu people are very different from our Central Plains people. ”
"So this time we have a better excuse to put eyeliner into the grassland."
"The manager is talking about the establishment of franchisees?"
"That's right, the method of making canned milk tea you said reminds me more, every winter a large number of livestock die due to epidemics or weather, these are all wasted before, I wonder what if these are also made into broth and sold to the Turks? They need this kind of portable stuff too. If we design it into a square shape that is easy to put on horses, and design it for the appearance of the storage bags on the Turkic horses, no, we don't want them, let's design and produce the leather bags mounted on the horses ourselves, and use the skins of those livestock to make them, and we will not only sell canned broth, but also canned leather bags. Li Wenyuan showed the expression of a profiteer.
"Then did the manager think about developing Yifu noodles as well?" Qiu Niang tilted her head and asked Li Wenyuan.
"Yifu noodles?"
"Yes, if Yifu noodles are paired with canned broth, it should be a delicacy that cannot be refused for the Turkic people, who have always lacked crops, and these two things can be sold together to sell better."
"I've found out now that it's a bit condescending to let you do intelligence, do you want to consider going into business?" Li Wenyuan said with a smile.
"Forget it, I still prefer to stay in my Night Stalker's Nest." Qiu Niang said with a disgusted face.
"I'm kidding you, I can't do a lot. What you said is quite interesting, after you arrive in Dunhuang County, you can get this according to your own ideas, and take this opportunity to arrange eyeliner among the Turks, but pay attention to the fact that the canned fourth-class meat made of livestock meat that died of the epidemic cannot flow into the Central Plains under any circumstances, and we must not poison our own compatriots. Li Wenyuan said.
The manager can rest assured that even if he sells at a loss in China, he will not let these fourth-class canned food flow into the country. I will organize a special person to be responsible for external sales and internal circulation monitoring, and I guess they don't dare to do this even if there are food-related regulations in the Western Regions Law. Qiu Niang comforted Li Wenyuan and said.
Li Wenyuan nodded and began to think about his next path again. Now except for Yiwu County, which is temporarily left to Li Rail, the remaining three counties have already had troops to attack, and the news from the two lines of night owls and military owls is that the defenders are all old, weak, sick and disabled, or some wine bags and rice bags, etc., and have no combat effectiveness. It is unimaginable that the guards of the three counties are weak, in the words of Qiu Niang when she gave Li Wenyuan this information: This is not a battle at all, just an armed parade.
Recovering three counties at once, Li Wenyuan himself can now be regarded as having an explanation to the imperial court, but what follows is that he now has to pay for the subsistence allowance of the people in these three counties. This expedition to the west used up the hoarded official warehouses, and the stored grain in the people's warehouses was all the low-income grain for the next year under the previous rule, and could not be used.
Alas, after thinking about it for a while, Li Wenyuan let out a sigh: "I still have to buy grain." ”
Speaking of buying grain, he is now holding the imperial examination, gradually abolishing domestic slavery, and dismantling the larger families through various means, and pulling out the chess pieces of many forces in various situations, it can be said that he is now standing opposite the Guanlong aristocracy, and then if it is said that buying grain from the south of the Yangtze River is too far away, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be born on the road, this kind of thing related to the stability of the people under his rule Li Wenyuan naturally will not take this risk, thinking of this, Li Wenyuan suddenly thought of one person, Xue Ju.
Xue Ju's family, like Li Liang, has been entrenched in Jincheng for a long time, has a rich family background, and has some friendship with himself, not to mention that his second son is a county guard under him, or he can be called the county guard of Wuwei County, which can be called his lair. Do you want to send someone to contact Xue Ju to buy some food? The food resources at the disposal of a family like theirs are enough to cope with this year's subsistence food shortage, so they can consider trying to contact them.
Li Wenyuan thought so, so he asked the heralds accompanying him to go to Wuwei County to find Xue Renyue, and asked him to ask Xue Ju if he could trade grain on his behalf.
Already seeing Dunhuang County from a distance, Li Wenyuan looked at Qiu Niang on the side: "Qiu Niang, you have learned to gallop for so long?" ”
"Compare to one?"
"Haha, then compare with the previous one, the people who entered Dunhuang County later want to make an east banquet in the most famous wine shop in the city to invite our team, Qiu Niang, what do you think?"
"Okay, I eat and drink at night on weekdays, and it's very bland, this time I'll also come here to open meat, so that you can invite us to a big meal." After Qiu Niang finished speaking, she took the lead in whipping the horse's buttocks under her crotch with a horsewhip, and ran out first.
Li Wenyuan watched Qiu Niang run away, shook his head with a smile, turned his head and said to the rest of his companions: "You can't keep up with yourself, I don't care about this meal." After speaking, he also clamped the horse's belly with his legs, urging the horse to run after Qiu Niang.
The group of people is just galloping on the official road, and you chase me for a while. The old farmers in the farmland on the side of the road who were organized by Zhang Juntai to resume production put down their work to see the official road, and an old farmer asked the trusted Dunhuang County officials on the side and said: "Who are these people, why do they run so fast on the official road?" War again? ”
Because of Li Wenyuan's attitude, the officials who came out of these political work schools did not have any official structure, and they were very friendly to the people, so that these people quickly got rid of the fear of officials in their hearts, and there was no resistance to the policies implemented by these officials, not to mention that the direct beneficiaries of these policies were themselves.
The official also saw the people on the official road, and after a little discrimination, he remembered that he had seen Li Wenyuan who had come to give a speech in person at the graduation ceremony, so he said to the old farmer on the side: "That person is our general manager, and this time he has come to Dunhuang County to handle official business, and he should have come to investigate and check this year's subsistence grain distribution." ”
"That's the manager, huh? I'm pretty young. ”
"Yes, young and promising."
