Li Dan's eyes showed appreciation, and he said: "This time you think well, but you have to have confidence in yourself, if you are strong enough, people will unite with you at most, and they will not think about plotting against you." The other is to look at the person, the letter has been able to cooperate, the combination is a win-win situation, if it is a hero, then before he really grows, he will be destroyed. I can't give you a specific way to do this kind of thing, it depends on your own judgment! ”

"If they really come to a few boats next time, the child wants to go to Datong."

"Yes, good decision." Li Dan said: "In addition to ironware, the person surnamed Zhang should still have a large number of supplies in his hands, the key is that he can transport ironware to the seaside, other goods must be fine, or he has more good things, these things must be seen on the spot to rest assured." Whether this person has ever believed it, whether he can make friends or not, he has to see it face to face to know that if this thing is done, my Li family can earn millions more in the next ten years, your position will be stable, and I can rest assured if I die. ”

Li Dan said again: "By the way, you are going to go in the future, take Zheng Yiguan with you, he is very clever and can help you." ”

Li Guozhu said uneasily: "My father is not old enough, why should he talk about life and death early." ”

Li Dan smiled, didn't take this stubble, and left directly.

……

It's September in the blink of an eye.

It was already very cool in the morning and night on the steppe in this weather, and the north wind often blew in the middle of the night, and it had begun to snow in some places to the north, and as we continued to the north, there were already a large number of Russians stationed in places that were more and more semi-polar, and the snow did not melt all year round, and the cold snaps came down from there from north to south.

Zhang Ziming and the others set out from Karashen and went straight to the northeast, a group of merchants all rode horses, let the early morning wind blow on their bodies, and the people were wearing thick sheepskin jackets and fur hats on their heads, all of which were very tightly dressed.

Behind the convoy was a convoy of long snakes, so long that it was almost impossible to see the end.

"It's still a bad year this year." Zhang Ziming said to Yang Sisun beside him: "You see, there are also some slabs along the way, and the crops are not dry, only a few seedlings emerge, and the ears of wheat are also very shriveled. ”

Yang Sisun shook his head and said: "The average harvest is less than one stone and one acre, and the vegetables planted are not good, the weather is too dry." ”

There was a deputy chief military attache who said: "Mr. Kong came here in the summer, and to put it bluntly, where there is no water diversion, next year's harvest will be less than half of this year's, and next year, there will be a great famine!" ”

"I also went to Kannai for a walk to meet relatives and friends." Zhang Ziming said: "Although it is stronger than the Mongols, it is also limited. Only near Li Zhuang is much stronger than other places because of the relationship between Zhang Dongzhu. ”

"We adults don't know how many people look up to his kindness." Yang Sisun said: "But Mr. Kong, is also a very powerful character, the people he brought also have the ability, selection and seedling, as well as sweet potato cutting and breeding methods, water conservancy methods, and fertilizer accumulation methods, before he came, I really didn't think that there was so much knowledge in farming." ”

"I can already sneak back to the customs in the next place, and I am really TOEFL Master Zhang." Zhang Ziming said with emotion: "If I can go back in the future, I am willing to buy a few pieces of land near Lizhuang, and TOEFL will live under the shadow of Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Ziming's eldest son is almost sixteen, and he is not that impulsive teenager in a few years, he rode a horse to follow his father, and then suddenly said: "Dad, why did you run to the grassland, and you can't go back openly until now?" ”

Zhang Ziming's face flushed, but he still replied: "Your father and I were so brave and fierce when I was young, I fought with people and caused serious injuries, and I was sentenced to the army, and I couldn't stand the suffering of the border army, so I had to go to the grassland to beg for a living. Therefore, I always say to your brothers, "Be calm when you are in trouble......"

"Calm down?" Yang Sisun said with a smile: "As soon as you heard that the profit of the Bahrain Department was high, didn't you hurry up and prepare the goods and come over with us to open a new semicolon?" ”

Zhang Ziming said: "This is for the cause of our adults. ”

"Haha, Lao Zhang, you really don't blush."

Everyone laughed, Zhang Ziming was not annoyed, and laughed together, his son Zhang Yansheng didn't dare to make a sound, just pursed his lips and laughed together.

Now Qingcheng to Banshengdi and then to Mobei, and then to Karashen place, west to Ordos have built a semicolon of Yusheng, routes and supply sites around the country are slowly established, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, the establishment of these sites is much more difficult than when he and Yusheng established logistics sites in Xuanda, many places are contiguous grasslands, mixed with desert areas and shrublands, if there is no high-quality carriage there is no way to engage in large-scale construction and long-distance travel in such a place, there are still large areas of no man's land on the grassland, Sometimes you can only see some felt bags and herds after walking for dozens of miles, and sometimes you can't see a single figure even after walking for a few days, and in these places, there is a supply and maintenance station every hundred miles, and there are too many things to pay.

It was also this year that Zhang Han had a lot of money on hand...... First of all, the iron tools were sold well, and the profits were considerable, and then the account bureau began to start, and small and medium-sized merchants began to deposit capital in the account office, and the logistics and account business continued to rise, and the profits were considerable, and then the funds were used on the grassland, and several important trade routes were finally completed, and now they finally began to march to the pastures of the Inner Khalkha tribe.

When he arrived at the territory of Inner Khalkha, he had good relations with the five Etoke, and then the eight Etoke, Alu Korqin, and Nenjiang Horqin of the Chahar department...... The entire chessboard to Liaodong is finally alive.

With the current scale, Zhang Han's smuggling industry has begun to give back, the Mongols in Mobei drove a large herd of cattle and sheep to trade, the number of various leather goods is very large, including many precious furs, of course, there are many herdsmen holding gold and silver to trade, they do not have the products of the Central Plains, but there are a lot of gold and silver or gold and silver utensils on the grassland, as for how to come, of course, it was snatched back from the Central Plains or the Western Regions.

"Be careful, there may be an enemy attack!"

The officer who led the outpost rode his horse and reported to Yang Sisun that according to the report of the sentry cavalry, there was a horse team composed of about 1,000 Mongols, and this was only the front team, and there may have been a small group of Han horse bandits among the horse thieves, these people were about ten miles away, gathered on the road that Yusheng's convoy must pass, and the outpost was also moving in this direction.

"There is no way," Yang Sisun said in distress, "It seems that this line will be the one that will be attacked by the enemy the most in the future." ”

"The two grandsons of Su Nan and Bu Nang." An officer scolded: "Don't dare to face us head-on, play with these dirty and smelly things, and lose these two goods to Da Taiji, Su Nang is still the one who almost inherited the throne of Khan." ”

Yang Sisun snorted and said: "Now these two goods are already lost wild dogs, of course, there is only fighting, what else is there to say!" ”

To Bansheng City's house to copy Su Nang, this thing is still done by Chang Wei with Wang Yikui and Yang Sisun and others, Qingcheng Division dispatched hundreds of people, and the people who kept Su Nang to take care of the family ran away, killing dozens of people, Su Nang Mansion has Zhong Jin's three ladies and Altan Khan have accumulated wealth for several generations, although Su Nang has squandered a lot, and Bu Shitu Khan and others took away a part, and the rest is worth hundreds of thousands, Zhang Han did not take all this silver, and gave a part to Wulu Taiji Du'er and Bu Shitu Khan, There are also some powerful Taiji, of course, the Taiji who are willing to be vegetarian don't want it, they are brewing revenge. The rest of Zhang Han was used to build supply points, transport supplies and hire personnel, and with these hundreds of thousands in hand, the speed was much faster than the original.

By September, the supply station was finally close to the pasture of the Fifth Department of Inner Khalkha, and after communicating with that side, he and Yusheng mobilized a large amount of materials and formed a large convoy, consisting of more than 350 large vehicles, and the main materials transported were of course grain, and then a large number of cloth, vegetables, and groceries.

The average weight of each car is 6,000 catties, that is, more than 50 stones and grain a car, except for a few hilly areas, the terrain of the grassland is mostly knee-high flat or desert area, from the Karashen place to the inner Khalkha There is not too much steep terrain, plus there is a maintenance and supply station, the weight of each car has been a lot.

With so many carts and supplies, almost the entire Tumut local carts have been requisitioned, and there are more than 700 carts on several lines in the entire Mobei and Tumut plus Ordos Setsau, which is equivalent to nearly half of them at once.

Zhang Han is waiting for the day when the road to Liaodong is opened, the Mongols are still very poor compared to the Dongyu, and the Mongolians do not have special products such as Dongzhu, ginseng, and dried fruits, and the types and quantities of the Mongolians are more than the fur, but the Dongyu is also better than the quality, and the skins of precious animals such as tiger skins and bear skins are still much more.

The key is that Zhang Han knew that the battle of Guangning was about to start, from Liaodong to Liaozhong, southern Liaoning, and even most of western Liaoxi soon fell into the hands of Donglu, which was a Han settlement run by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and seven million Han people in Liaodong created and accumulated a lot of wealth, which fell into the hands of Donglu, Zhang Han planned to earn back more or less these money and materials.

"The convoy is ringed, the bird-bearers stand between the carriages or in the cars, the teams do what they are trained to do, and the jumping soldiers and spearmen line up in the middle of the formation!"

Yang Sisun was specially sent to protect the convoy this time, this time the cost of investment is very large, if there is no competent person to protect it is very unsafe, Yang Sisun is the deputy director of the Qingcheng Division, this time leading the first and third bureaus of the Qingcheng Division, as well as the cavalry team directly under the division, adding up to 300 soldiers, plus two flag team engineers, nearly 400 people.

The baggage battalions were not accompanied by the baggage battalions, and all the army's supplies were replenished by surplus supplies carried by the convoys themselves, and there were three supply pit stations to replenish food and supplies.

After a quarter of an hour, all the horses and sentry horses retreated, and a large number of horse bandits began to appear below the distant horizon, above the horizon.

Yang Sisun ordered: "The cavalry cavalry enters the formation to rest!" ”

There is a cavalry of 37 cavalry under the division, which is used as a pond horse and daily training in peacetime, and in wartime, it is a beam and a sentry horse, and there are also a few that can be used as night guards and responsible for reconnoitering the movements of the surrounding Mongolian departments in peacetime.
