Since there was no suitable person to lead the infantry team, Zhao Xiong was left in charge and stationed at Bibo Fort, together with the archers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong occasionally went to the county seat to maintain the safety of the grain store and avoid outsiders from causing trouble.

Jin Zhong and Zhou Yong were transferred out and stationed in Loufu County, fully responsible for the sales of materials in the county.

The seat of Loufu County is Loufu Guancheng, the south entrance is in Ningwu, the north entrance is in Yangfangkou, and the east is connected with Yanmen Pass; It is located on the west bank of the Hui River, with Hongtao Mountains in the northwest, Luya Mountains and Guanshui Mountains in the southwest, Hengshan Mountains in the east, Datong Basin in the northeast, and Xinding Basin in the southeast, so the geographical location is very important. At the same time, due to the convenient transportation, the business is relatively developed.

Due to the rapid expansion of the village protection team, the cost is getting bigger and bigger, and it costs a lot of money just to synthesize soldiers every day, Gao Shun has to make money through business.

In the early spring, the state was not green, the price of grain remained high, and the corn reached 450 wen and one stone; Gao Shun felt that it was a good opportunity, so he asked Zhou Yong to buy a house and a door in the county seat, and opened a grain store, which was called "Renyi Grain Shop".

Gao Shun also found the three elders and others, and registered the 1 Shi pikemen and 1 Shi sword and shield soldiers, and let them follow Jin Zhong and Zhou Yong to live in the store, not only to serve as clerks, but also to protect the safety of the store.

Before opening, Gao Shun went to the county seat once, filled the rooms in the backyard of the store with corn, and told Jin Zhong that the grain should be sold gradually, and a part of it would be transported from Taoyuanbao every day to confuse outsiders.

The corn purchased by the system is 40 kilograms per package, exactly 2 stones, and the price of Gaoshun is 600 wen per package, which is only sold as a whole, not retailed; It was claimed that it was limited to 500 packs per day, but 800 packs were actually sold.

The transport of grain was carried by those who had been rescued and who had not joined the village protection team, and the grain was transported two to three times a day, in 10 to 15 wagons each time, each with a capacity of 20 bales, and 200 to 300 bales at a time.

The cavalry in charge of the escort is sent 1 cavalry at a time, and each tishi is on duty for one day.

The place of departure is the warehouse of the city lord of Taoyuan Fort.

However, no one was allowed to enter the warehouse, and each time the officers and soldiers stationed there carried the grain out of the warehouse before the convoy took over, and even the cavalry in charge of the escort had to wait outside the warehouse.

The opening of the Renyi grain shop immediately caused a sensation in Yanmen County, especially such a cheap price, only slightly more expensive than Luoyang, for the local people is simply a good thing that is difficult to dream of, although it is not retail, but such a low price, several families can pool money to buy a pack, and then distribute it privately, which is much cheaper than other grain shops.

As a result, other grain stores lost all their business, and buyers preferred to get up early outside the shops and queue up rather than go to the original grain stores to buy them. And they are reluctant to sell at a lower price, and they all feel that the Renyi Grain Store will not exist for too long, so they are in a wait-and-see state, ready to see the jokes of the Renyi Grain Shop, and compare the owner of the Renyi Grain Store to a fool.

When everyone knew that the supporter behind the benevolent grain shop was Gao Shun, who rescued the people enslaved by the Huns, they all praised Gao Shun for being a benevolent and righteous person. Subsequently, Gao Shun's deeds spread all over the world at a faster speed.

Because of the cavalry escort, no one dared to fight the bad idea of the grain store of benevolence and righteousness; Those ruffians are even more far away, and the backstage of the Renyi grain store is not even afraid of foreign races, and they can still be bullied by a few of their locals?

The grain merchants in Yinguan, Mayi and other counties began to contact Jin Zhong, hoping to purchase goods from the Renyi grain store, but Jin Zhong and others did not dare to call the shots and sent someone to inform Gao Shun.

Gao Shun decided to let them all come to Taoyuan Fort to negotiate, and the specific matters were handed over to Ma Gui.

Ma Gui was now stationed in the infantry battalion, and at the entrance to the barracks there was his office and residence, and all visitors would be led to his office by the officers and soldiers on duty at the city gate for consultation.

The first thing striking the visiting merchants was the smooth and wide stone road, which required a huge amount of money to build.

Secondly, I was shocked by the defense of Taoyuan Fort, a huge stone wall up to 6 meters high, a narrow city gate, a narrow passage in front, and a moat outside the city wall, although there was no water for the time being, but it also played a blocking role, and the two sides were steep cliffs.

Arriving at the gate of Taoyuan Fort, they were once again shocked by the excellent equipment and full mental state of the guards on duty, this was definitely an elite soldier, no wonder they dared to sneak attack the Hun camp.

Entering the barracks, they were shocked by the enormity of the internal area, how many troops would this hold?

Anyone wonders how such a force has risen in the Frontierlands?

In addition to corn in Ma Gui's office, Gao Shun also added wheat, beans, and salt.

Wheat refers to wheat, which can be purchased for 1,000 kilograms per point, and Gaoshun is priced at 400 yuan per package;

Beans are soybeans and soybeans, which can be bought for 500 kilograms per point, and the price is 500 yuan per package;

Coarse salt is really worthless, just like picking it up for nothing, Gao Shun set the price at 400 yuan per pack with reference to this era.

Customers from other counties bring their own carriages to buy them at a discount of 10%, so let Ma Gui negotiate with customers at this price.

Although Ma Gui said that his intelligence was relatively high, he still couldn't get rid of the style of a soldier, and after greeting with the merchants, he said straight to the point: "Everyone, we have already set the price, if you bring your own carriage to transport, millet is 550 yuan per bag, wheat is 360 yuan, beans are 450 yuan, salt is 400 yuan per package; This is the price of the whole vehicle sales, which is 20 packs per car; This is a sample, and the fineness and weight of all goods are the same as the sample. ”

All the merchants originally thought that it would be good to be able to buy a bag of corn at a price of 600 yuan, as long as they could buy it in large quantities, they would be able to make a fortune, but they did not expect it to be so cheap after coming, and they were all very happy.

One of the customers asked: "General Ma, how many supplies can your castle provide every month?" ”

Ma Gui said very boldly: "Haha, you shouldn't ask like this, but say how many materials you can buy, how many materials can my castle provide, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

"Do you have any requirements for customers?"

Ma Gui thought about it for a while and said: "There is only one requirement, that is, it cannot be resold to foreign races, otherwise it will not only be disqualified from purchasing goods in the future, but will even be hunted down by the officers and soldiers in our fort, we hate those who collude with foreign races the most; Also, anything that happens after leaving the fort has nothing to do with us. ”

All the merchants gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "If you are a righteous man, not only against the aliens, but also selling grain and salt at such a low price, you will surely live countless people."

After receiving an accurate reply, all the merchants returned as soon as possible and came to purchase the goods as soon as possible after reporting to the owner.

With the loss of time, the reputation of Renyi Grain Store and Taoyuan Fort spread farther and farther, not only all counties in Yanmen County came here to buy goods, but even grain merchants from Dai County in the east and Taiyuan County in the south also came to buy goods. In order to speed up the transportation and ensure the smooth movement of the carriage, Gao Shun also ordered the construction of a stone road from the east of Taiping Village to Loufu County, requiring a width of 6 meters.

Originally, some customers wanted to buy shops and mansions in Taoyuan Fort, but all of them were rejected by Gao Shun, he wanted to use this place as a base, but not just anyone can come and live.

Ma Gui suggested: "General, after the Hulu Valley is completed, the Taiping Fort will be built on the original site of Taiping Village, and the carriage and horse shops, restaurants, etc. can be built, so that these merchants can stay and rest in the Taiping Fort, and we can also have a certain income." ”

Gao Shun happily accepted this suggestion, which coincided with his idea, not only to build a carriage and horse shop and a restaurant, but also to open more shops there, selling cloth, farm tools, ceramics, furniture, etc., and he would definitely make a lot of money. However, before that, it is necessary to build a good three-way fort, and the safety must be ensured, otherwise no matter how big the profit is, the merchants will not dare to come.
