Chapter 905: Shopping
"Rain fart in time! Just you? Cut! Li Ji disliked Chen Fei's clothes, and sneezed honestly, neatly put the sweater transferred by Chen Fei on his body, and showed a disgusted expression.
Clothes made of wool are obviously inappropriate in the eyes of high-ranking officials and nobles like Li Ji, and they are almost as tattered as tatters, and they are particularly cheap when worn on the body, even if the sweaters produced by Chen Fei's workshop can't be seen at all that they are made of wool.
However, the weather is cold, and Li Ji can't pick and choose, the important thing is that the soldiers below don't know that this is a sweater, they only feel that this dress is very warm on their bodies, and they applaud it.
There were some good soldiers who got along with Chen Fei, and even came to ask where to buy these clothes and what the price was.
While Chen Fei couldn't cry or laugh, he thought of a way to make money - the sweater production cost is very low, and it can be sold to the imperial court and used to equip the army! What better winter coat than a sweater? No!
In fact, Chen Fei has been worried about the sales of sweaters. Because when he actually started selling sweaters, he found out that this thing was not as good as he thought!
As soon as the people in China heard that it was made of wool, they didn't ask a word, they shook their hands and left, as for Central Asia, the birthplace of the original sweater....... Well, I haven't done foreign trade yet, so I'm still waiting.
This led to him hoarding a lot of sweaters for half a year and couldn't sell them, and they were all pressed in the library. The herdsmen on the grassland are very fond of this kind of clothes, but at present, they have little money, and the cattle and sheep have been exchanged for other goods by Chen Ji, so they can't buy much.
Now, this batch of unsalable sweaters not only solved Tang Jun's urgent need, but also allowed Chen Fei to see a new sales idea - selling them to the army to make winter clothes! And these soldiers are all very approving of sweaters! That's the most important thing!
As long as the soldiers publicize the benefits of sweaters, one to two, two to four, four to eight, I believe that soon the reputation of sweaters will go up, and word of mouth will go up... Are you still afraid that you won't be able to sell?
Thinking of this, Chen Fei was in a hurry to write a letter, wanting to tell Wang Tian, who was far away in Chang'an, to ask him to hurry up and make a wave of preparations while the winter had not yet come, maybe he could make a fortune with sweaters at the end of the year!
"Stinky boy! What are you looking for? Li Ji glared at Chen Fei.
Chen Fei asked people to get pens and paper, and he didn't care about talking to Li Ji, so he casually said perfunctorily: "Write a letter to the family." He lowered his head and raised his pen to write quickly.
Li Ji came up and took a look, gave Chen Fei a big pot sticker, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you stinky boy, you really don't forget to do business when you go to war, you kid is suitable for being a profiteer, not a general!" ”
"General Li, this is not right, fighting a war is actually no different from doing business, they are both calculating each other how to exchange the minimum price for the maximum casualties, both are the same, there is nothing suitable for it."
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking that it seemed to be the same reason....... "Bah, bah! The old man really believes in your wickedness! If fighting a war is the same as being a businessman, how much does the old man have to lose? Hum! Hurry up and write, you have to hurry when you're done! Li Ji scolded and left.
Chen Fei shook his head, and he didn't plan to argue with him too much, so he wrote the letter and dried it, handed it to the person who delivered the sweater, and dragged him to bring the letter to Wang Tian.
Before leaving, Chen Fei thought about it and wrote another letter, but this letter was not for Wang Tian, but for his family........
The news of the withdrawal of the Western Turks has only been a few days, and the Guligan in the north has not received the news, and at this moment, the Guligan tribe is still grazing across the border without knowing whether to live or die, and even clashes will break out with local herdsmen, and the bloodshed will escalate at every turn.
Herdsmen are often just small tribes of more than 100 people, how can they do it over the large army that appears in groups? Within a few moments, the herders had no choice but to retreat, giving up large tracts of grazing land.
The backbone tribes have tasted the benefits, and have continuously expanded their "territory" to increase their grazing land. Because the snow has begun to fall in the north, if you want to feed the cattle and sheep, you have to go south.
As a direct consequence of this, more and more of the former herders have had their grazing space compressed, and they have to retreat again and again.
However, there is a limit to patience, and the herdsmen also have tempers, and they are very temperamental. Initial concessions do not mean that they will succumb.
It's okay to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, their army is stronger than ours, and they can let us live a good life, we are convinced, but you are strong, a small tribe in the north actually dares to bully me, why? The tiger is not powerful, you really think we are sick cats?
Herdsmen from more than a dozen nearby tribes gathered together, and a team of 1,000 people was formed by Qingzhuang.
Not to be outdone, they were much more numerous than the herdsmen, and thousands of people formed a battle formation to charge, and immediately dispersed the formation formed by the herdsmen.
Obviously, these herders are not some small fish and shrimp who have not seen the world. The grassland is already a fierce people, serving the people in leisure time, and being a soldier in wartime, and its combat skills and psychological quality are all top-notch.
Although the formation was scattered, the morale was not dispersed, and they were still fighting desperately when they were scattered.
It's just that the number of defects cannot be repaired, and sooner or later they will suffer big losses, and after a bloody battle, the herdsmen suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.
Gu Ligan won a game, became more and more arrogant, and drove the herdsmen and grabbed the pastures more unscrupulously.
The herdsmen were not to be trifled with, and after one defeat, they gathered more tribes, formed a more powerful force, and once again launched a counterattack against Guligan.
Before the war began, the two sides scolded across the camp.
The herdsmen scolded the bones and did not know what to do, and arbitrarily violated the borders of other countries. When the Guligan Khan heard this, he laughed, pointed at the herdsman and scolded: "I don't know what to do? Hahaha! Ben Khan just doesn't know what to do, what can you do with me? A group of lost dogs, also embarrassed to bark at Ben Khan? Hum! Act recklessly! ”
The herdsmen were furious when they heard the words "lost dogs", although they were wiped out, they were never driven out of the grassland, but they were just changing the regime, which is a normal thing for them. On the contrary, it is the ingratitude of the bones, and the continuous expulsion of them, which makes them feel ashamed of losing their families!
"Phew! Guligan Khan, you were a dog of our Xue Yantuo at the beginning, but you barely survived by clinging to our tribe, and now you have the face to talk about us? What a shame! ”
Probably talking about the sore spot of Guligan Khan, he was also angry, and sneered at the herdsmen: "Xue Yantuo? Are you embarrassed to say that you are from Xue Yantuo? Xue Yantuo has been wiped out, and now you are just a dog of the Tang Dynasty, and you still have the face to say me? It's just looking for a fight! Come, form, charge! ”
"! Who's afraid of whom! Brothers! Above! ”
