Chapter 57: The First Transaction
Qimin Khan and the others only discussed for a few hours, and then made a decision to let the Orkhon Tooth Banner in charge of the Du Ji Shi make the first stroke, and when the Ji Shi came, he brought a Zhaowu man named An Wu Zhao, who was in his fifties, strong and vigorous. After Yang Chong consulted An Wuzhao, he set a more reasonable number for Du Jishi, 20,000 sheep, 7,000 cattle, and 2,000 horses; When Yang Chong asked Lu Jishi to arrange someone to go to Chang'an, Lu Jishi smiled and said: "Shi Shu Huxi is in Chang'an, he is my person, you let him come to Yulin with Jewelry." β
Yang Chong pretended to be very surprised and said: "I am now being unloaded and killed by them, and kicked out of the wine business, I don't know where Shi Shu Huxi is, the special service should send someone to Yuhaizhai to inform him." β
Du Jishi put away his smile and said: "Yang Chong, I admit that you have done a good job in Gaochang, and I haven't found out the person you arranged until now, but don't worry, I will definitely find out." β
Yang Chong played with the taste: "The special service scared me, in fact, I was good for Shi Shu Hu, and the chances of making a fortune in the Central Plains were much higher than those of the Turks." Besides, didn't the secret service always have the idea of transforming the Turks into the Great Sui model? This trade is a great start, and it's good for both you and me. β
A trace of consternation flashed in Du Jishi's eyes, and then he said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Yang Chong, it's not a good thing to know too much. β
Yang Chong knew that he had talked about the secret in his heart, and said with a smile: "Have you ever thought that if I, Da Sui, help you, your ideals will be realized faster." β
Du Jishi is still relatively calm on the surface, but he can't bear it in his heart, it is a dream of his to make the Turkic Great Sui, and he has never said it to anyone, how did Yang Chong guess it; And Yang Chong's latter sentence is even more threatening, if Da Sui can help himself, he can help Tong Lifu, and he can help any special agent. And in the current Turkic tent, the help of the Great Sui is crucial, and if his father Qimin Khan does not have the support of this giant, he will not be able to suppress the other tribes at all.
Du Jishi took a breath and said, "I agree to trade with the Great Sui, but the gold and silver treasures cannot be used as clothes and food, and it is useless to come." β
Yang Chong pointed at An Wuzhao and said, "With Mr. An here, the secret service can't buy these things anywhere." As far as I know, Yuhaizhai also deals in porcelain, and porcelain is not a pipe product of the Great Sui. β
Du Jishi was overjoyed and said, "That's no problem." β
The Eastern Turks have a vast territory, and many items have several sources, but the porcelain that the nobles liked, especially the fine porcelain, is only available in the Central Plains, so it can be said that there are as many as there are. In fact, Du Jishi discussed with An Wuhu that it would be a good thing if he could make the Orkhunya Banner strong through trade; Although he was the first in line to the throne of the Khan, the Turks ultimately focused on strength.
Yang Chong secretly sneered, the essence of directional trade is to connect horizontally in disguise, to separate the various tribes of the Turks through trade, and in the face of interests, let the various tribes have sheep and eat people, and the Great Sui will break them one by one. After the fifteenth century, due to the opening of new shipping routes, the expansion of economic and cultural exchanges between regions of the world, Britain's foreign trade expanded dramatically, stimulating the development of British wool exports and wool weaving, the price of wool in the market began to soar, sheep raising became profitable, so the nobles drove away the farmers who had rented their land, and occupied the land where sheep could be raised to develop sheep farming. The peasants lost the land on which they depended to support their families, supported the old and the young, and wandered to strange places; The only place where the various ethnic groups in the north of the country wander is the Great Sui, and when the time comes, it will be given or taken, and the initiative will be in the Central Plains.
After listening to the report, Duan Wenzhen brushed his beard and smiled, it was better than expected, the Orkhun Tooth Banner was a large number of Turkic Tooth Banners, and it was much more useful than the originally conceived Xi, Xia, Murwei and other tribes. On the other hand, as a veteran, Duan Wenzhen naturally knew that the border garrison had actually been secretly doing business with the Turkic ministries for a long time, but the profits were taken away by the border generals and families. As long as a steady stream of money flows into the center, many things will become easy to solve, but because Yang Chong has the imprint of the Yuwen family, Duan Wenzhen still followed Ming Ya's advice, and asked Emperor Yang of Sui to arrange another candidate for the specific operation.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty finally selected Zhou Fashang, the general of Zuo Wuwei. Zhou Fashang, the word Demai, Runan An adult, the first Chen Dynasty, was later framed by Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, and took refuge in the Northern Zhou. This time Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited Yulin, and the internal history Ling Yuanshou once said: "It should be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty out of the customs, the banner stretches for thousands of miles, and now outside the imperial camp, please divide the army into 24 armies, and send an army to set off every day, 30 miles apart, the flags look at each other, the war drums are heard, the end is connected, thousands of miles are endless, and the grand occasion of the division is shown." β
In the end, Zhou Fashang vetoed, believing that the army stretched for thousands of miles, and there were mountains and rivers, if there was something in the center, the road would be dangerous and long, and it would be difficult to save it; If something happens, order the enemy to resist, and send strange soldiers from inside the formation, attack hard outside the formation, use the chariot as a barrier, and then set up a curved hook formation, if the battle is victorious, send cavalry to pursue, in case of failure, you can camp to defend yourself. It was with these words that Emperor Yang of Sui appointed Zhou Fashang as the general of Zuo Wuwei, and gave him a good horse and 300 silk silks.
Yang Chongle had to stay out of the matter, the biggest opponent of this plan was actually from within the Great Sui, because the original squeezing trade or smuggling trade was actually in the hands of the scholars, and this plan of the military department was purely to take chestnuts in the fire and take people's jobs; There is no response now, because people who know the inside story are not optimistic about this method, and once it has a real effect, all kinds of things will happen.
Yang Chong stayed in the military department for the next few days, and if he had nothing to do, he would read the book "Mozi" sent by Kong Yingda. In addition to the seventy-one articles of "Mozi" itself, it also edited the Moxue remarks in the ten books of "New Preface", "Corpse", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Han Feizi", "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", "Huainanzi", "Liezi", "Warring States Policy", "Old Things of the Palaces", and "The Legend of the Immortals", which were attached to the book, so that Yang Chong understood the status of Moxue in the eyes of other schools and benefited a lot.
However, the noisy Yulin City could no longer accommodate Yang Chong's calm desk, and Duhu usurped the latest news, Shi Shu Huxi fled in Chang'an, and escaped in the heavily guarded guard. Zhou Qian and the others cast a big net, but they didn't find a single clue, and Duhu said with annoyance: "Yang Chong, you're right, he still has a lot of words to spit out." β
Duhu also didn't say a lot of words, with the power of the Turks and Shi Shu Huxi, how could he save Shi Shu Huxi, and hide it without any clues; The only person who rescued Shi Shu Huxi could only be a person from the Central Plains, and it was a high-powered Central Plains person. There is no shortage of money for people who can sit in that position, and there is only one reason for this, and like Yu Wenhua, there is a handle in the hands of the Turks.
