Chapter 244: Begging for Manpower
These days, Tang Hezhi has seen Zhiwen exchange bags of grain for hundreds of good horses and a lot of wool, as well as fresh medicinal herbs, if he is willing to help...
"Little Brother Zheng, help, what else do you want, we are not afraid of hardship, we can get it for you, just give you some food." Tang Hezhi grabbed Zhiwen's arm and said almost pleadingly.
When Lin Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, how could he forget this kid, he had collected medicinal herbs and wool before, so that everyone had made a windfall, and in early summer, after shearing the sheep, he would be able to solve part of the ration problem, and if he collected something else, this food problem might be solved.
"Yes, Brother Zheng, help us figure out a way, many of these people have drunk and eaten meat with you." Lin Yuan played the emotional card.
Zhiwen secretly rolled his eyes, have I ever drunk, I drink milk.
"Don't worry, you two, let me think about it." Zhiwen's heart was pounding, he suddenly realized that the current chaos here was an excellent opportunity for him, an excellent opportunity to use grain through Lin Yuan and others, and gradually control the small and medium-sized tribes in Mongolia, as for the big tribes, they are deep-rooted, and food alone may not be enough, let's talk about it later.
"That's it, the two eldest brothers, what about the younger brothers, there is a shortage of manpower, and I will buy all the wool from you in the future, the price, three taels of grain and a catty, how about it?" Zhiwen deliberately wandered around for a while, hanging the hearts of the two people high, and then spoke.
"Huh?!" A burst of ecstasy surged into the hearts of Lin Yuan and Tang Hezhi, and they all heard the subtext of Zhiwen, their own sheep were not enough, and the surplus manpower could go to other tribes, buy it back at the price of one or two grains for a pound of wool before, and then resell it to Zhiwen, one in and one out, and make a net profit of two taels of grain.
Zhiwen looked at the two of them with a smile, even if a pound of grain is exchanged for a pound of wool, the union will have to make money, but this price cannot be raised all at once, and it will be taken slowly in the future.
Before the two of them came back to their senses, Zhiwen immediately released a big move, "300,000, I will prepay you 300,000 catties of grain first, and when I come to collect the wool, I will deduct it from the inside, less than 100,000 catties, I will make up for you, how about it?" ”
This trick, Zhiwen still learned from Zhou Chengyun, and it is best to buy people's hearts and make the other party die for you.
The character of these two people, Zhiwen thinks that they are still trustworthy after getting along these days, and 300,000 catties of grain is just a drizzle for his current net worth.
Lin Yuan and Tang Hezhi glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads towards Zhiwen to the ground, and said solemnly, "I'll wait!" Thank you, Brother Zheng! ”
With these 300,000 catties of grain, there is no problem for the Dalin Taibu to annex these dozen tribes, the herdsmen will not be starved to death, and the revitalization of the tribes is hopeful!
After reaching an agreement with Lin Yuan and Tang Hezhi, Zhiwen found a place on the side of the road back to Zhangjiakou, and vacated 300,000 catties of grain from the system warehouse to place it here, and early the next morning, he lied that his people had piled up the grain in the designated place and asked Lin Yuan to send someone to get grain from him.
300,000 catties, 3,000 bags full of grain, all the people who fell were dispatched, oxen on their backs, horses and horses, and Lele carts, it took a whole day to transport the grain back to the tribe.
Fortunately, now the tribe no longer has only 100 people, after swallowing up the shepherds who are willing to take refuge in one go, it has reached the scale of more than 600 people, and it is already a real medium-sized tribe.
Looking at the high piles of grain, everyone in the tribe had a satisfied smile on their faces.
By the way, in order to commemorate Dalintai, Lin Yuan took the initiative to propose that the name of the tribe will not be changed, and it will always be called "Dalintaibu" in the future, which has won Lin Yuan some prestige, whether it is the old tribe or the new tribe, the late leader Dalintai is admired, and it is considered a supreme honor to name the tribe after him and continue.
"Brother Lin," Zhiwen said to Lin Yuan, who was standing side by side with him, looking at the grain pile, "I have to leave." ”
"Huh?" Lin Yuan was stunned, "Going?" It's February, stay for a few more months, it's the season for sheep shearing, why don't you stay and wait? ”
"No," Zhiwen refused, "There are a lot of things at home, I have to go back and deal with them, and when the weather is hot, I will come to look for you." ”
"That's fine." Lin Yuan was not pretentious, "I won't say much if you're polite, this will always be your other home." ”
"Hehe, since it's my home, then I'm welcome." Zhiwen immediately climbed down the pole, "If you want a few people, or I won't be able to go back." ”
"Take your pick." Lin Yuan said boldly, now there are more than ten Han people in the tribe, and he is not short of manpower.
Zhiwen pointed to Ba Gen, who was weak not far away, and said, "Ba Gen, Meng Gen, and Brother Tang..."
"No, no," Lin Yuan waved his hand in panic, "Except for Meng Gen, the other two can't, Bagen is the son of the leader of Dalintai, I don't worry about him running around, Brother Tang is now my right-hand man, and I can't let you kidnap him." ”
Zhiwen dragged Lin Yuan and whispered in his ear, "It's okay if you don't let Brother Tang go, Ba Gen, it's better for you to let him go with me, I'm thinking about you." ”
"Look at Bagen," Zhiwen pointed to Bagen who was weak not far away, "Don't look at him as if he has lost his soul now, if he can't keep his brain hot one day, and he can't do his best to run to find trouble with the Jinren, our tribe is a catastrophe, you can watch it for a while, can you watch it for a lifetime?" ”
This is Zhiwen's true thoughts, Darling Taibu is now full of vitality and is an important partner for him, but he can't let Bagan, a stunned man, destroy it, and take him with him more steadily.
He obviously knew that Lin Yuan would not let Tang Hezhi go with him, but he deliberately mentioned Tang Hezhi's name, just to bargain with Lin Yuan, Zhiwen could not want Tang Hezhi, but he had to take Bagen.
Lin Yuan looked at Bagen and didn't speak, but was obviously moved by Zhiwen's words.
Zhiwen then tempted, "You think, if I take him back to Guannei, he won't be able to get into trouble again, and he won't be able to provoke Jinren, right?" ”
"That's... All right. Lin Yuan had to admit that what Zhiwen said was very reasonable, and he was finally convinced, "You can't neglect him, after all, his father has great kindness to me and the entire tribe." ”
"Cut!" Zhiwen snorted, "Don't dare to say anything else, the food and clothing are better than yours here, okay?" ”
Lin Yuan sneered, didn't dare to reply, Zhiwen generously paid 300,000 catties of grain in advance, and would he greet Bagen?
"By the way, Bagan's two henchmen, give them to me too, they are not the masters of peace." Zhiwen is going to pack up and take away all the troublemakers.
Lin Yuan didn't refuse, even Bagen was going to be sent out, and it didn't hurt to have two more.
