The next morning, Li Zicheng summoned Mu Qingshan and Jin Yixin, who were leaders in Xining's business circles and represented almost all merchants in Xining's business circles.

The two saluted and sat down on the wooden chair opposite Li Zicheng.

Because of Mu Sirong's relationship, Mu Qingshan took the initiative to return to obedience earlier, and his relationship with Li Zicheng has always been relatively strong, but in front of Li Zicheng, he is more comfortable.

And Jin Yixin has some heads and rats, the last time the Mandate of Heaven Army entered Longyou eastward, because of the lack of confidence in the Mandate of Heaven Army, he left Xining on the grounds of escorting goods to the south and opening up the Jiangnan market, in fact, he was watching from afar.

There was some estrangement between him and Li Zicheng.

Fortunately, Jin Yixin did not tell the court, the two sides did not completely turn their faces, and after Li Zicheng blackmailed him some silver, he forgave him.

But Jin Yixin left some stains in Li Zicheng's mind, and he knew in his heart that now sitting opposite Li Zicheng, he only fell half of his buttocks, and he was very uncomfortable.

Li Zicheng didn't say anything, laughed, and said: "Mu Dongzhu, Jin Dongzhu, how is your factory, is the production still smooth?" ”

Mu Qingshan said: "Thanks to the blessing of the Grand Governor, the workers have completely understood the wine production technology, and there is no problem in production. ”

Jin Yixin hesitated for a moment, and said: "The grass people's self-striking bell is long, and the production is also smooth, and the market has just opened up in Jiangnan, and the sales are getting better, but it's just ......."

Li Zicheng felt that Mu Qingshan also had something to say just now, and he might have encountered something in sales, so he said, "What's the problem?" What about your firms? ”

Mu Qingshan held the lamp with both hands, paused, and said: "Don't hide it from the Grand Duke, now not only is the road to Jingshi blocked by thieves, but it is ...... It is to go south to Bashu, there are also thieves on the way, the last time I went to Jiangnan, the goods were robbed by thieves...... During this time, the grass people's goods could not be sold......"

Li Zicheng was shocked, Mu Qingshan and Jin Yixin couldn't sell the goods in their hands to Jiangnan, so he couldn't sell more luxury goods to them, perfumes, glass, ......

If with the help of the high pressure of the Mandate of Heaven and the contract in hand, I am not afraid that they will breach the contract, but force them to buy at a high price, and then stock up, this is a fatal blow to the merchants, which is tantamount to killing the chicken and taking the eggs!

The Mandate of Heaven and the merchants of Xining were originally in a symbiotic relationship, and they wanted to cooperate for a win-win situation, and if they went to "persecute" the merchants just for their own money, it was completely contrary to his plan of "rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce".

I'd rather suffer a little loss than let the merchants chill, the ability of the merchants to bear the losses is far less than the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion!

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said, "Proprietor Mu, proprietor Jin, the previous contract needs to be revised and revised. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" the two were at a loss.

Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "Since these luxury goods cannot be transported to Jingshi and Jiangnan, they can only be sold in Xining and Lanzhou for the time being, the price of the product cannot be too high, and the original contract needs to be modified!" ”

Mu Qingshan and Jin Yixin were suddenly overjoyed, and said busily: "What does the metropolitan governor mean, the price of the goods should be reduced?" ”

"Naturally, the price must be reduced, otherwise you are not going to go bankrupt?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "However, if you sell these goods locally, the price must also be greatly reduced, otherwise the people will not be able to buy them at all." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Mu Qingshan and Jin Yixin glanced at each other and said, "The grass people and others will sell the goods at the factory price, as long as they don't pay compensation!" ”

Li Zicheng's meaning is really too unexpected for them, the contract was signed earlier, the market has changed, no one can predict, if the price of goods rises, will they themselves be willing to re-sign the contract with Li Zicheng?

The Metropolitan Governor is now protecting the merchants, even if he suffers some losses, he can't let the merchants go bankrupt!

Mu Qingshan and Li Zicheng can be regarded as relatives, but Jin Yixin is not related to him, only business cooperation......

Li Zicheng looked at the two of them and smiled silently.

Jin Yixin thought of the last time he stepped on two boats, but his old face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground, "The mind of the Metropolitan Governor is broader than the Qilian Mountains, but the grass people ...... The grass people really have no place to be ashamed...... Ask the capital to rebuke and punish ......"

"There is no need to punish him, the proprietor of Jin should get up quickly!" Li Zicheng laughed, "Those are all things of the past, the proprietor doesn't have to care too much, from now on, obey the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion!" ”

"The grass people will abide by the laws and regulations of the Mandate of Heaven and the Governor's Mansion, and will never evade industrial and commercial taxes!" After Jin Yixin got up, countless thoughts had already turned in his heart, but he found that he really had nothing to serve the Grand Duke......

In the future, in the future, only listen to the Metropolitan Governor, and everything will be for the Metropolitan Governor!

Jin Yixin couldn't help but secretly glance at Mu Qingshan, or did Mu Qingshan have eyesight, he had already taken refuge in the Metropolitan Governor, why did he look away that day? Or are you too timid and afraid?

Li Zicheng knew that Jin Yixin must be surging at this time, so he paused and said: "Mu Dongzhu, Jin Dongzhu, you are the leaders of Xining's business community, I won't talk nonsense, the contract can be revised, but once the business road is unblocked, the previous contract must be restored!" ”

"That's nature, that's nature," Jin Yixin said in a stacked voice, "As long as the business is smooth, the grass people will take the initiative to resume the contract!" ”

Mu Qingshan opened his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, "The Metropolitan Governor is ......"

Li Zicheng smiled and didn't answer, gently took a sip of tea, and said: "Mu Dongzhu and Jin Dongzhu, in the past, which road did they take to go south to Bashu?" ”

Jin Yixin's heart moved, glanced at Mu Qingshan, and hurriedly said: "The grass people went south to Bashu, from Minzhou Wei, which is now Longnan Mansion, to the south, along the Qiangshui, Baishui River, and Zhaohua City into the Jialing River, in front of which is Jianmen Pass, after Jianmen Pass, it is a plain, you can go directly to Chengdu." ”

This road, when Wu Ermao transported back the pig iron from Chengdu that day, Li Zicheng personally picked him up from the middle of the road, although the road is difficult, but before entering the Jianmen Pass, it is the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and it is not easy to alarm the army of the imperial court.

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, looked at Mu Qingshan, and Mu Qingshan said: "Dadu Governor, when the grass people go south, they are along the Rhino River in the east and go south to the Jialing River. ”

Li Zicheng thought for a moment, and he had a plan in his heart, so he muttered Li Bai's poem: "The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky......

The re-signing of the contract was delayed for several days, and Li Zicheng had to re-price all kinds of luxury goods according to the prices of Xining and the purchasing power of the people.

Except for Chen Dahu's official office in Xining City, the rest of the officials went back, Li Zicheng also bid farewell to Sun Mengjie and them, and took his own soldiers and more than 1,000 cavalry from Li Guobu to the west, and arrived in Huangyuan County in the evening, and set up camp in the city, and the five hundred wolf cavalry sent by Wang Junzhuo were already waiting in Huangyuan County.

Li Zicheng learned from Jiang Yuan, the magistrate, that the commander sent by the wolf cavalry turned out to be a fourteen-year-old child, and he was surprised in his heart, it couldn't be Wang Junzhuo's passive sabotage, right? This is to give the wolf cavalry a chance to fight the grass valley, and if there is no wolf cavalry to help, he can still achieve his goal.

He summoned the young commander of the Wolf Cavalry in the Great Horde.

The Commander was only fourteen years old, but he was of the same physique as an adult, with a strong body, a small arm exposed from his clothes, covered in thick body hair, and at first glance almost uncivilized savage.

He was dressed in a white Mongolian robe, his face was gloomy, his lips were moving, and he tried his best to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

After entering the big tent, he walked a few steps, and at a place of more than ten steps in front of Li Zicheng, he turned over and knelt on the ground, "Subordinate Wang Peng, knock on the governor!" ”

"Wang Peng? Good name, Dapeng spreads its wings," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, and said, "Get up and speak, give a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Governor!" Wang Peng respectfully kowtowed three times before getting up and sitting on the maza opposite Li Zicheng.

"What position does Wang Peng live in now?" Although Wang Peng's body has developed, Li Zicheng still feels strange, how can such a child serve as the commander of five hundred cavalry? Will he be able to hold back the arrogant cavalry? It won't be the second generation of officials in anyone's family, right?

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates temporarily led the cavalry hundred household officials, and the subordinate fathers said that if the Metropolitan Governor approves it, he can only be officially appointed!" Wang Peng's eyes flickered, obviously a little worried.

"Hundred household officials?" Li Zicheng said in his heart, what is this Wang Junzhuo going to do? The wolf cavalry is the same as the tiger cavalry, below the hundred household officials, all of them are appointed by the chief officials Wang Junzhuo and Gao Yigong, and only the thousand household officials need his approval, after a little thought, they understand what Wang Junzhuo means, "Is General Wang your father?" ”

"Back to the Grand Governor, General Wang is the father of his subordinates, and his subordinates are the eldest son of General Wang!"

"Ao," Li Zicheng looked at Wang Peng with some amusement, "Do these soldiers listen to you?" ”

"Back to the Grand Governor, they must listen to their subordinates, they are not the opponents of their subordinates!" This time, Wang Peng was very angry.

"So, you're very good at riding and shooting!" Li Zicheng estimated that Wang Peng was not only taught by Wang Junzhuo, but also his natural strength was not small.

"The subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense," Wang Peng said: "The subordinates can open half a stone bow and fight immediately, and they are not the opponents of the subordinates......"

"So powerful?" Li Zicheng looked at Wang Peng from head to toe with his eyes, Wang Peng's physique is indeed relatively stout, "The governor of Pontus will teach you in a while!" ”

"Subordinates obey all the orders of the Grand Governor!"

"You speak good Chinese, who did you learn it from?"

"After his subordinate father came to Shaliucheng, he thought that his subordinates were now Han, so he asked his subordinates to learn Chinese, and his subordinates followed the Han people in the city to learn Chinese......

I see! Once Wang Peng masters the Chinese language and is influenced by the Han culture, he will like the culture of the Han people, and he will also take the initiative in naturalization, "Do a good job, if you can complete the combat mission this time, the governor of Pontus will directly promote you to the official of a thousand households!" ”

Li Zicheng is not allowed to prepare for the exam to teach Wang Peng's cavalry archery, marching and fighting, not entirely relying on personal bravery, more relying on the brain, as long as Wang Peng follows him, he will definitely be able to become a wise general on the battlefield, and the cavalry and archery itself is not as important as before.
