"The villain meets Zhou Meijun!" I saw a group of people dressed as businessmen walking in, the first one was a burly big fat man, and when he saw Zhou Mei, he immediately saluted, if Li Zhang was here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this person was Jinshan, who had not been seen for several years, but now although Jinshan has made a fortune again, it is not like the fat and unlooked like when he was in the capital, at most it can only be said to be fatter than ordinary people.

"Commander Yang is also here, I heard that you went to hunt down and kill the female dependents of the White Horse Department, you must have gained a lot, right?" I saw Jin Shan finish the salute and saw Yang Wenguang next to him, and immediately showed a bright smile and said.

Jin Shan decided to stay in Gyeongju, Li Zhang also helped him settle in Gyeongju, and introduced him to many people, such as Cao Wei and Cao Mata father and son, with these official people to take care of, Jin Shan also started business again, and he also helped Li Zhang reform the border city before, so he met a lot of people, including Han and Fan.

Relying on his familiarity, Jinshan just started the business of two dealers, such as buying cloth and porcelain from the Han people and selling them to the Fanren, buying leather and horses from the Fanren and selling them to the Han merchants, so as to earn the difference.

However, the easiest thing to make in the northwest is the war money, especially Jinshan was very familiar with the army, so when the Great Song Dynasty launched a war against the party, he and a group of businessmen immediately chased after him like sharks smelling blood, and specially purchased some trophies that were inconvenient for the army to carry, such as women, large valuables, etc., after all, the army originally carried more materials, and if there were too many loot, it would seriously drag down the speed of the march.

It is knowing the above, so the opportunity for these merchants in Jinshan came, they followed closely behind the army, and purchased the spoils captured by the army, which were generally settled with the banknotes of the money bank, after all, the banknotes were easy to carry, of course, they also lowered the price when they purchased, after all, they had to bear the cost of transportation, as well as the risks on the battlefield, so the price would definitely not be too high, such as the cattle and sheep with ten prices, maybe they were only willing to be consistent, which also made the army give them a nickname called "vampire".

"No need to be polite, although the harvest in the White Horse Department this time is good, the casualties of the soldiers are not small, don't push the price too hard!" Zhou Mei is a good hand at fighting, but she doesn't know how to do business, and she is not used to dealing with these slick businessmen, so she directly said hard at this time.

"General Zhou, rest assured, although our gang of people are here for money, they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will never treat our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty badly, and the price is negotiable, but the farther away from the Great Song Dynasty now, the greater the cost of transporting goods, so sometimes even if we want to be cheap, we can't lose money!" Jin Shan saluted Zhou Mei with a smile at this time, someone does the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money, and it is not easy for them to be businessmen.

"I know all this, you follow Wenguang to take a look at the things to be sold, and then estimate the price, as long as the price is appropriate, in the future, you will cross the Yellow River and occupy Xingzhou, and then you will have the opportunity to make a fortune!" Zhou Mei pointed at Yang Wenguang with some impatience at this time, dealing with these cunning businessmen of Jinshan always made him have the urge to cut people, but he also knew that Jinshan's background was very hard, and he would definitely not be able to offend.

"General Xie, then there is Commander Lao Yang!" It was not the first time that Jin Shan had dealt with Zhou Mei, so he naturally knew that he didn't like his people, so he was also very interested at this time.

Yang Wenguang actually doesn't like these businessmen like Jinshan, after all, most of their generals have a straightforward temper, and they are really not used to meeting Jinshan's crooked guys, but Shangguan has a life, and he has to obey, so he had to agree to leave the tent with Jinshan and the others.

There are tens of thousands of people in the White Horse Department, and almost all the men have been killed, after all, Zhou Mei is the vanguard, and the number is not much, if you want to see prisoners of war, you think you have to divide a part of the manpower, of course, the most important thing is that the White Horse Department is Li Yuanhao's diehard, and he would rather die than surrender, Zhou Mei also paid a lot of casualties in order to break through the White Horse Department, and finally his eyes were red, and the surface of the Yellow River is now full of discarded headless corpses.

Looking at those dead party members, Jin Shan and others are also a pity, because a sturdy party slave can also be sold for a good price, some mines like to use these prisoners of war to mine, but the party people are not very easy to discipline, except for the pure strength of mining, other work can not be done, in contrast, although the party women are a little fierce, but they are easy to raise, and the price is several times more expensive than men.

The prisoner of war camp soon arrived, Jin Shan and the others first roughly inspected these party women, and then called a group of their respective stewards and asked them to subdivide these women, the young and beautiful ones were of course the most expensive, and the old, ugly, sick and disabled ones were free additions.

In addition to these women, there are many trophies this time, such as wool, salt stored in the tribe, and there is a salt lake in the west of Xingzhou, so the Dangxiang people also control the salt industry in the northwest, and many Dangxiang tribes use salt to pay for their accounts when trading with the Han people.

Of course, there are also some items used by the party and nobles, such as tents, vehicles, furs, etc., and even ordinary ox carts Jinshan they also collect, it can be said that as long as it is something that can be sold for money, Jinshan they almost do not refuse, and the army jokes that wherever Jinshan people walk, even the land will be scraped off three points.

After Jinshan's gang probably saw these loot, then several businessmen discussed it quietly and allocated their share, and Yang Wenguang next to him watched coldly, because the army and Jinshan people had a tacit understanding, they just left what they wanted to sell to Jinshan people, as for how they distributed it internally, the army didn't care.

After a while, Jinshan and these people discussed the distribution, and then each went to appraise, and then listed a list in detail to hand over to Yang Wenguang, Yang Wenguang didn't look at it, and returned to Zhou Mei's tent with this thing, after all, in addition to some of the loot sold to be handed over to the imperial court, the rest was also distributed to the soldiers according to military merits, if something went wrong, he couldn't afford this responsibility, so everything had to be decided by Zhou Mei.

Looking at the dense list in his hand, Zhou Mei also had a headache, he had regretted it more than once, why didn't he think about bringing a few more civilian soldiers to join the army before, so that he could also help him share some affairs, but in order to speed up the march before, he didn't bring any other personnel except for five thousand elite soldiers, and even only half of the grain and grass were brought, and the remaining half was snatched from the party members to solve the problem, and now he can't find a scribe.

In desperation, Zhou Mei still endured a headache and read this list, in fact, he also had experience, after all, it was not the first time he sold these loot, and he also had an understanding of the approximate price, so these merchants in Jinshan did not dare to press the price too low, so Zhou Mei was generally satisfied, and agreed to this transaction at the moment, and then this list was also saved by him, and he needed to hand it over to Zhao Zhen at that time, so as not to say that he was seeking personal gain in the army.

Three days later, the news of Zhao Zhen's army finally came, Zhou Mei's vanguard army swept through all departments of the party, and Zhao Zhen's army was not idle, but attacked Xiping Mansion, another important military town of the party.

Xiping Mansion originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, also called Lingzhou, more than 30 years ago Li Jiqian rebelled, sent troops to lay down Lingzhou, killed Lingzhou Zhizhou Pei Ji, and then the party people continued to invade the south based on this, encroaching on a lot of the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but later Li Deming felt that Xingzhou on the west bank of the Yellow River was more suitable to be the capital, after all, it was separated from the Great Song Dynasty by the Yellow River, so he moved to Xingzhou.

Xiping Mansion as one of the military towns of the party people, there are also several large tribes stationed in the city, and a lot of farmland has even been reclaimed outside the city, and the defenders alone have reached 20,000, in the face of this kind of fortified city, it is by no means the vanguard army of Zhou Mei, the five thousand people, can conquer, so they bypassed Xiping Mansion and handed over this difficult bone to Zhao Zhen, the main army, and now the news is coming, Zhao Zhen will besiege Xiping Mansion, and order the army to storm Xiping Mansion, as for when to conquer is not decided.
