Chapter 489: Xu Qing's Usefulness 1
(For the addition of the master of this book "Bona Baichuan", the second update!) )
Compared with the original Donghu prince, the changes of Nahara Luomu now...... Or that the growth is huge.
I don't know how Zhou Yan treated these two people, but it made these two sisters and brothers change so much.
Although he didn't fake the Donghu siblings, the importance of these two was also undoubted for Wei Wuji, so he wouldn't really treat these two people well.
This means that this kind of house arrest life may still be long for the siblings.
This was just a small episode of Wei Wuji's return, which briefly adjusted his mood, and after coming out for so long, it was time for him to go back to the military tent for half a day.
After all, between Fang Cai and Zhou Yan, there were still some things that the two had not fully discussed, and Wei Wuji and the two still needed to discuss them in detail.
It was after this short period of relaxation that the two returned to their previous tent.
In fact, there are still a lot of issues for them to follow, such as the difference between this conscription and the last time, how to realize the large number of livestock they brought back, and the large demand for grain and grass that has been added......
…………
Five days later, the time came to the 16th day of the 14th year of the Marquis of Wei, which was also the ninth day after Wei Wuji entered the Great Wall.
The things that should be arranged were almost arranged, and even the conscription had already begun to be implemented, and after preliminary supervision, Wei Wuji was relieved to hand over to Zhou Yan to preside.
And the military report sent to the camp in Lingbei, Chen Wanyun also had a return...... That was to agree to Wei Wuji's request.
However, the Lingbei battalion also put forward a request at the same time, that is, it will not solve the salary of the newly recruited army, and only provide the most basic food, grass and weapons.
And because Wei Wuji said that he was recruiting foot soldiers, then the Lingbei camp naturally did not regret being in charge of the war horses, after all, there were not so many horses in Wei that there was no place to put them.
Food and salary can be said to be the backbone of the army, but now the Lingbei battalion separates the two and only provides food and grass.
Even though the conditions seemed harsh, Wei Wuji had to agree, and bargaining for advice would only make things worse.
If Chen Wanyun vetoed his proposal because of this, then he would really want to cry without tears, after all, he urgently needed to expand his lineage now.
In this way, even if Wu An didn't give him the name of naturalization, then Wei Wuji had no name.
The conscription continued, but Wei Wuji left the barracks with his guards and headed towards the interior of Yanshan County.
Now the more urgent thing is to buy the cattle and sheep in his hands, otherwise the daily consumption of grain and grass is too terrifying, and Wei Wuji can't afford it at all now.
And if you want to sell it as quickly as possible, then the best place in the whole Yanshan is the county seat.
Yanshan County borders the Hu people to the north, which leads to the existence of a large number of merchants who do business with the Hu people, and these people monopolize at least half of the fur and livestock business in the entire Central Plains.
Although the trade of merchants has been forcibly interrupted due to the war, now that the fighting in the north has stopped, these fly-like merchants will definitely come back to find opportunities.
Another is that although the Hu people fought to the death with the Wei State, they did not come to these merchants, after all, these people could bring them the salt and other necessities they needed.
Although the Wei court had also vigorously cracked down on merchants who went north, you had dealt a blow to the shadows of others, and this unregulated trade often brought more harm.
In addition, the horses of the Hu people were also needed by the Wei State, so the merchants could gain a firm foothold in Yanshan without worrying too much.
So this also gave Wei Wuji the opportunity to find the right seller.
In particular, the cattle stolen from the Hu people are very popular in the Central Plains, after all, one more cow can plant more land.
Of course, another reason why Wei Wuji wanted to go back so early was because he was homesick.
Since he came to Yanshan County, his time at home can be said to have been less than a month, which is unbearable for a modern soul like him.
Besides, there are so many things to worry about in the Northland, and people need to rest, and the best place is at home.
But in order to be able to rest in peace after returning home, Wei Wuji still needs to solve it first, and the solution is to find those merchants first.
When Wei Wuji hurried to Jingbei City, it was actually only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but at this time, there was no flow of people at the city gate.
It can also be seen from this that this war still has a great impact on the people of Yanshan County. But a small number of people does not mean that there is no one, which shows that life still has to go on.
When Wei Wuji's horse team entered the city gate, this time there was no more moth, and he entered the city without any problems.
For these sergeants returning from the front, the people in the city consciously moved out of the way, allowing them to pass first. The gratitude in their hearts can only be expressed in this way.
There were even people among them who recognized Wei Wuji, so the news of Wei Wuji's meeting in the city also spread.
In fact, it is really not difficult to recognize Wei Wuji, because only Wei Wuji can do this in Jingbei City.
But Wei Wuji's current destination was not to go home, but to go directly to the yamen of Jingbei County.
In the entire Yanshan County, there are definitely few people who can make a comprehensive approach, and Wei Wuji himself knows even less.
For example, Wei Wuji's first thought was Yanshan County's Shoujiang Shixun, but it was difficult for this person and Wei Wuji to urinate in the same pot.
Although the old thing didn't seem to have any tricks up his sleeve after the last negotiation, Wei Wuji still couldn't trust him, and it was impossible to believe him.
However, Yanshan County didn't know Jiang Shixun, a parent official, and don't forget that there was also Xu Qing, the county magistrate, in Jingbei City, and this person was undoubtedly the most suitable collaborator for Wei Wuji.
First of all, Xu Qing is from a poor family, and basically there is no connection with the family, and this guy's official position is relatively low, so he should be better in terms of physical objects.
And through a few short contacts, Wei Wuji could basically judge that this person was the type of honest person, which also made him more at ease.
As the top spot in Jingbei City, Xu Qing naturally no longer has a problem contacting businessmen from all walks of life.
As for Xu Qing's own wishes, whether he will choose to wade into this troubled water, it depends on whether Wei Wuji's mouth is strong enough.
Although he was rushing to the county office, when he was about to arrive, Wei Wuji decided not to enter through the main gate of the county office, but chose to take a detour from the back.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, Wei Wuji himself doesn't want to be so high-profile and scare an honest person like Xu Qing.
After all, Xu Qing likes a low-key personality, if you let people do things in a high-profile manner, wouldn't it make him very embarrassed.
I have to say that Wei Wuji has analyzed Xu Qing thoroughly, and only in this way will Wei Wuji's confidence in persuading Xu Qing increase.
