Chapter 234: The Battle of the Outside the Fortress (2)
Looking at Fu Luohan, who was sitting in the chair in front of him, tall and mighty but looking restrained and cramped, Guo Bin smiled and said: "The second son doesn't need to be nervous, let's not look at the identity this time, just talk about friendship." ”
Hearing this, Fu Luo Han grinned and moved his ass in the chair only slightly crampedly.
Seeing this, Guo Bin knew that it might be the negative effect caused by his decisive killing of Sha Hanlin yesterday, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and said: "Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang both told me that since the establishment of the three cities outside the Saiwai, they have always received the support and help of your ministry. ”
Fu Luo Han hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, the villain will definitely bring the words." ”
Guo Bin nodded, then his face turned solemn, and said: "Guo is very sad about Ling Zun's death. If it is according to the practice of my Central Plains people, Ling Zun is the eldest son of Tanshi Huai Shan Yu, and he is naturally the most qualified to take over the position of Da Shan Yu. When Guo met the Son of Heaven before leaving Beijing, the Son of Heaven also said to me that if you want to say that the bloodline is authentic, of course, it is still Putou Shan Yu. ”
When Fu Luohan heard this, his embarrassed face could not hide his excitement.
Guo Bin glanced at this honest man, and Fang continued: "Besides, when Tanshi Huaishan died, many things were quite obscure, so whether the succession of Da Shan Yu was in accordance with legal principles remains to be discussed. And today's big single Yu Helian is greedy for money and lustful, unfair, arrogant, and self-respecting. This time, he coveted the wealth of the three cities outside the Saiwai Province, disregarded the interests of all the tribes of the grassland, and raised troops to attack, and his greed and ambition were even more obvious. ”
Although Fuluo Han is honest, he is not stupid, and he can naturally hear Guo Bin's dissatisfaction with Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian in his words. However, this is also really ordinary, and now that Helian has raised troops to attack, the contradictions between the two sides have become obvious, and with the more than 1,000 elite cavalry killed by Sha Hanlin, the two sides have lost the possibility of reconciliation. Therefore, it is reasonable for Guo Bin to scold and connect. However, Fu Luohan couldn't understand that when the soldiers were pressing down now, was Guo Bin really just looking for himself to scold and even say a few sentences?
Don't dare to hesitate, Fu Luohan can only nod his head. It is also that he is young, according to reason, in the early years of Xianbei's Dadan Yu Tanshihuai has never surrendered to the Eastern Han court, and the Han court once wanted to give him the title of king, but he was refused. Therefore, for the attribution of Xianbei Da Danyu's position, the Eastern Han Dynasty court said that there was no place to beak.
In addition, with Fu Luohan's status among the Xianbei people, he is the descendant of Tanshi Huai's relatives, and his name is equivalent to the clan in the Han court. Moreover, after his father's death, he also shared a lot of people and a large pasture with abundant water and grass, and now although his name is also under Putou, he is already the chief of a large tribe. Therefore, today's Fu Luohan is ranked first in the entire central Xianbei in terms of name and strength.
If he helps Luo Han to defect to the Han court, although he will not get much real power, it is not difficult to become a king, at least in the name of Guo Bin. Therefore, his current status is not lower than Guo Bin, so he is still so restrained and cautious, I am afraid that he is still afraid of Guo Bin's performance yesterday.
In many cases, people with high status in interpersonal interactions do not necessarily gain the heartfelt respect of others. It's like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and even Guo Bin, although they are respectful to He Jin, but how much of it is true in their hearts, and how much of it is acting on the spot, only they know it in their hearts. For Sima Hui, although he is still white, his position as the head of Yangzhai County is not an official body, but Guo Bin's respect for him comes from the bottom of his heart, which is due to his own morality and talent, but it has nothing to do with his status.
I only heard Guo Bin continue: "He Lian is coming to attack, Guo has already made a plan, and this time he invited the second prince to come in order to discuss the strengthening of cooperation between the three cities outside my Saiwai and your ministry after this battle." ”
Fu Luohan listened, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared, it turned out that Guo Bin had already known Da Dan Yu and Lian's plan, it seems that this time he and Lian Ding will not be able to get better, as for the cooperation between the two sides, the whole ministry is very supportive. It is also Fu Luohan who is honest, he believes what others say, the battlefield is changing rapidly, no matter how well you are prepared, where is there anything that will win? Guo Bin said it so firmly, and he brushed over the matter of this battle, just to calm his heart. However, with the status of the two sides and the comparison of their current strength in the city, there is really nothing to communicate in depth about this kind of thing.
At that moment, Fu Luo Han cleared his throat and said respectfully: "The trade with the three cities outside the Saiwai has benefited a lot from the middle and upper levels of our department, from Putou Shan Yu to the ordinary herdsmen, and strengthening cooperation is also the unanimous demand of our department. It's just how to strengthen cooperation, and I would like to ask Master Hou to show me. In Fu Luohan's eyes, Guo Bin's title as a county marquis is much more noble and important than the position of the so-called Yingchuan county guard.
Guo Bin said: "From now on, the factories of Yang Zhai clothing in the three cities outside the Saiwai will give priority to supplying your department, and the monthly limit of hero blood will also be raised to 200 altars. In addition, Yang Zhai Construction Co., Ltd. will also give priority to the construction of your department by giving priority to ensuring the construction of your department. All in all, in a word, all the business in Yangzhai County and even Yingchuan County, as long as it is needed by your department, will be provided first. ”
Guo Bin's words made Luo Han's eyebrows flutter, these are real benefits! It's not that Luo Han is stupid, this so-called preferential treatment and priority, it seems that although Guo Bin is not cheap at all, he is really taken care of. Naturally, this is also determined by the current trading status and trade status of the two sides.
Because the three cities outside the Saiwai were built outside the Great Wall, then in trade, in terms of geographical location, it was naturally the Xianbei tribes who took advantage. Therefore, whether it is safety or transportation costs, the Xianbei tribes have a far advantage over the Central Plains Hao clan caravans that have traveled thousands of miles. Moreover, a series of goods transported from the Central Plains, whether it is salt or fine wine, or the silk silk of Linzi, the splendid embroidery of Shuzhong, and even the clothing of Yang Zhai, in addition to the necessities of life such as salt, it is also called a high-end luxury in the Central Plains, and after being transported to the grassland, it is loved and sought after by the nobles on the grassland, and its price has doubled.
Therefore, correspondingly, the price of luxury goods from the original has soared, while the price of cattle, sheep, horses and other things that can be found everywhere in the grassland has risen to a very limited extent. This caused the inequality of trade between the two sides, making the goods of the Central Plains extremely scarce, and many Xianbei chieftains who came with goods always had to face the dilemma of running out of goods when buying luxury goods in the Central Plains. Therefore, from the perspective of the Central Plains caravan, this is a typical seller's market, and it is extremely common to sell at a higher price.
For many in-demand goods, it is also the status quo that there is no market for price increases, and these are extremely popular goods among Xianbei people. Among them, it includes the hero's blood produced in Yangzhai County and the coat made of wool. Outside the plug, the cold has always been one of the important criteria for people to choose clothing, Yang Zhai clothing products are not only slim and comfortable, but also narrow sleeves and collar design, while maintaining its good thermal performance, but also will not look too bloated. This makes the herdsmen or nobles in their work or battle can deeply realize that compared with the fat and loose leather jacket, slim and warm woolen products are undoubtedly extremely advantageous.
As for the hero's blood, in the bitterly cold land outside the fortress, its value is undoubtedly fully stimulated. Aside from the pleasant pleasure of taking a sip of spirits in the bitter cold wind, the cost advantage of this fine wine in the transportation of long-distance trade has made it a golden pimple in the eyes of countless Xianbei tribes who do resale trade.
The hero's blood is high, the taste is mellow, the aroma is rich, and the syrup is a rare blood red, so it can still be sold for a very high price after mixing the same amount of water. Especially after the Western Xianbei broke away from the Helian Division, the price of the Central Plains wine circulating in the Ministry has been speculated to the sky.
For a long time, even in the three cities outside the Saiwai, the hero's blood must be pre-customized, so Zhang Shiping set a one-month quota for each ministry according to the size of the total trade volume and the distance between the relatives and relatives. As the largest trading partner, the Po Tau Department has a total limit of 100 jars per month, which has already made them a lot of money, even though the supply is extremely limited. Now that Guo Bin has doubled the quota, even with Fu Luohan's not very fast brain, he can also calculate that the profit generated by this extra hundred jars per month will be enough for the herdsmen in the entire tribe to eat for a month.
As for the craze for the construction of cement masonry buildings that is now widespread in various parts of the grassland, Fu Luohan is also aware of it. Due to the limited number of technicians and construction workers, and the fact that many materials had to be transported from the Central Plains, this type of construction was in many cases a mere wall, but it was already very popular. Because the herders who lived in it could herd their flocks into their own walled sheepfolds without worrying about a steppe wolf attack in the middle of the night, the tribe was saved a lot of manpower. In addition, the chieftain of each tribe now had to build a building similar to the flower hall where the yamen is located today, for office and residence.
The cold of the grassland is not partial, and in previous years, even if you were the chief who controlled the fate of all peoples, in the cold winter night, you just put a few more charcoal pots in the big tent, and the indoor temperature that could be raised was extremely limited. And if it is like this flower hall, the double-layer thick wall can not only resist the enemy's arrows, but also keep the cold on the grassland outside, and in the middle of winter, it will be like spring and March, which is really a rare luxury life on the grassland. It is rumored that the royal tent of Xianbei's big single Yu Helian no longer uses the cowhide tent used by the ancestors, but instead uses the popular building of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd.
For Guo Bin's series of care and discounts, Fu Luo Han was happy in his heart, but he was faintly uneasy. There is a saying among the people of the Central Plains: "If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something." Since Guo Bin has made such a big move, what is the price? Although Fu Luo Han was not very quick-witted, his mind was still very clear.
At that moment, he got up and saluted: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, the villain thanked Putou Shan Yu first." It's just that Master Hou has something big, can the headquarters help? Don't be afraid of Hou Ye's jokes, in many major matters, the villain can't call the shots, and he still needs to make a decision in person. ”
Guo Bin listened, and said in his heart that although this Fu Luo Han is honest, he is not a stupid person, so he smiled slightly and said, "Just make a friend." ”
