"I probably know a little bit, the officials still remember Zhang Jiu!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I remember, the merchant who is in charge of delivery. ”

"He was delivering goods in Datong not long ago, and the day before I came to Jingzhao Mansion, he happened to escape from Datong Mansion and brought some news, it should be that Xixia is about to be unable to support it."

"It's so serious, isn't there a heaven-shattering thunder in Western Xia?"

"It's useless to have earth-shattering thunder, Datong Mansion has been broken by the Jin soldiers, Brother Li Chago led 20,000 remnants of the army to retreat west, was caught up by 80,000 Jin soldiers, surrounded in the area of Baidaoban, I heard that the two countries of Jinxia are negotiating, but I just heard about it."

Baidaoban is the area of Baishan Mountain, with only 20,000 people, how can it withstand the attack of 80,000 Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers besiege but do not attack, it is very likely that they hope to force the Western Xia through this battle, Li Qianshun will not let Li Chage die in the hands of the Jin people no matter what, the key is to see how long the food of the besieged Western Xia army can be supported.

Li Yanqing sighed in his heart, history is still advancing according to the original trajectory, the surrender of Western Xia to the Jin State is a foregone conclusion, and there is indeed not much time left for him.

Although the overall situation is difficult to determine, Li Yanqing is most concerned about the small situation at present, he must have enough money to raise the army, and after a deep sigh, Li Yanqing asked again: "Qiao's firm is still doing Baoyanzhai's business?" ”

Li Yanqing knew that Bao Yan Zhai's treasure box was extremely popular in Western Xia, and he had always walked this line through Qiao's merchants, if Li Yanqing wanted to take this business, then it would be to rob Qiao's firm's business, and he hoped to find a compromise plan, which could not only bring benefits to Jing Zhaojun, but also use Qiao's firm's sales channels in Western Xia, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Qiao Zhongan smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that we have always done it, and since March this year, Ling Zun has stopped supplying us." ”

"Why?" Li Yanqing asked puzzledly: "Could it be that Baoyanzhai has found another cooperative firm?" ”

"As far as I know, no, but I don't know why Ling Zun stopped supplying, now we can only buy goods from Baoyan Zhai stores in Taiyuan and Jingzhao, but the quantity is too small, and there is a serious shortage in Xixia."

Li Yanqing suddenly understood that his father wanted to give himself this opportunity! That's why I stopped cooperating with Qiao's firm.

"How much does a treasure box sell for in Western Xia?"

"One hundred pieces of red treasure box, fifty pieces of blue treasure box, and thirty pieces of money in the ancient white treasure box."

The price of the red treasure box in the capital is fifty yuan, the blue treasure box is twenty yuan, and the ancient white treasure box of Zhang Gu is also ten yuan, but in the Western Xia, the price is not a huge profit, which makes Li Yanqing a little puzzled, Qiao Zhongan understands Li Yanqing's doubts, and said with a smile: "The price is only doubled, it is indeed not a huge profit, and your father is not cheap to give us, a red treasure box costs seventy yuan, throw away the freight, we can only make ten yuan for a treasure box." ”

"Then why don't you buy directly from the stores in Taiyuan and Jingzhao? It only takes 50 to buy it in the store. ”

"The key is here, buy it in the store, you can only buy one box at a time, the amount is too small, the demand in Xixia is huge, you want to buy in large quantities, then you can only accept high prices, so let's say! Tangut women have heavy makeup, both men and women like to use perfume, a bottle of perfume Han women use it for two months, but Tangut people use it up in ten days and half a month at most, a box of thirty pieces of rouge, Han women use it for a month, but Tangut women only use ten days, their makeup is very thick, and the consumption is very large. ”

"How many sales were there that month?"

"About 8,000 boxes, of which the cheap Zhang Gu Bao Box has the largest sales, about 6,000 boxes a month, but the Western Xia nobles and upper-class women only recognize Bao Yan Zhai, and the sales of the red and blue treasure boxes in a month are about 2,000 boxes."

"Then your firm has made a fortune all these years."

"It's a little money, but the problem now is that it's out of stock!"

"The goods are not a problem, I will supply them in the future, the price is still the same, the red treasure box is seventy times, the blue treasure box is thirty times, the white treasure box is twenty-five times, and it is shipped directly from Jingzhao, and you also save freight, how about it? Can we cooperate? ”

Qiao Zhongan was overjoyed, "No problem, how much you have, how much I eat!" ”

Li Yanqing roughly calculated that he could take the goods from Baoyanzhai at a slightly lower price, and earn 20 yuan per treasure box, so that he could earn 200,000 yuan per month from Xixia for cosmetics alone, equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, which laid a solid financial foundation for the future expansion of the army.

Qiao's business bank has been troubled by the suspension of goods in Baoyanzhai for two months, but he didn't expect to get a turning point in the hands of Li Yanqing of Jingzhao Mansion, Qiao Zhongan rubbed his hands excitedly, "The officials see when they will be able to supply?" Xixia's side is really in a hurry. ”

"I'll find a golden word to deliver the letter to the capital tomorrow, in addition, there are still hundreds of stocks here in Baoyanzhai in Jingzhao Mansion, I can give them all to you, the same is true in Taiyuan, I promise that in ten days, 10,000 treasure boxes will be sent to Baoyanzhai in Jingzhao Mansion, and you will arrange for someone to deliver them to Xixia."

At this time, Qiao Zhongan also understood that Bao Yanzhai cut off his own goods, just to transfer this partner to Li Yanqing, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Qiao's firm will definitely go all out to ensure sales, and not let Li Tongzhi's expectations be disappointed." ”

Li Yanqing nodded and said with a smile: "How to operate specifically, I will arrange for Liu Senjun to be in charge, he will come to visit the second proprietor tomorrow, in addition, there is one more thing, I want to ask the second proprietor." ”

"Don't dare! Li Tongzhi said. ”

"I remember that Qiao's Firm was in the fur business, the largest fur merchant in the Northwest Territories, right?"

"The fur business has been in business since my father's time."

"That's the case, Jing Zhaojun has 200,000 pieces of good old sheepskins in his hands, I don't know if I can ask Qiao's firm to help sell them."

Qiao Zhongan was taken aback, there were actually 200,000 copies, and their sales in two years were only like this, but Qiao Zhongan knew that this was a condition offered by Li Yanqing, if he didn't agree, or the price offered was not sincere, then Baoyanzhai's business would not want to go on, Baoyanzhai was out of stock for two months, but there was no serious shortage in the Xixia market, and there were still red treasure boxes on sale, indicating that Baoyanzhai had other channels.

If you don't hug Li Yanqing's thighs tightly, I'm afraid Baoyanzhai's business won't be my turn.

He thought about it a little and said to Li Yanqing: "Although the goods are a bit much, I can find a few more commercial houses to share, and I can consume them before the end of today, but now the sheepskin is the off-season, and the price of an old sheepskin in the market is only two yuan, and it will rise to three yuan in winter, so be it!" I bought it at a price of two yuan a piece, a total of 400,000 yuan, I can pay it to Tongzhi in two installments, and all of it will be paid to Tongzhi within a month, even if it is my sincerity! ”

This price is not bad, Li Yanqing has contacted two fur merchants before, and he is only willing to open the purchase price of the same money, and the money is given twice, which makes Li Yanqing extremely unhappy, originally he wanted to use the 200,000 sheepskins as collateral to borrow 300,000 yuan from Baoyanzhai, but now that there is Qiao's firm, there is no need for him to trouble Baoyanzhai anymore.

"Then we'll make up our minds!"

"It's a deal!"

Li Yanqing got up and said: "Then I will leave, and the matter of Baoyanzhai and sheepskin will be fully responsible for Liu Shenjun, and you will continue to discuss it tomorrow." ”

Qiao Zhongan got up to send Li Yanqing out, and at this time, Li Yanqing remembered something again and asked, "At the beginning, I had four subordinates who followed Qiao's firm in Western Xia, how are they now?" ”

"They all returned to Taiyuan Mansion one after another, and Wei Ying was left alone, he was very capable, and now he was the manager of Qiao's Commercial Bank in Xingqing Mansion, but the military had not contacted him for several years, and I guess the military had forgotten him."

Li Yanqing handed over a few of them to the Seed Division, and now the Seed Division has also been transferred to the imperial court, and they should indeed be forgotten by the military.

"I know about this matter, please stay with the second proprietor!"

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and saluted, and left in a hurry.

．．．．．．．

When the 150 female soldiers recruited today marched into the barracks, the barracks was almost boiling, and 20,000 soldiers ran out of their barracks to watch from afar, and the soldiers trained on the martial arts field were even more chaotic, and many of them stood in a daze, their mouths wide open, and their eyes glared out, and 150 slender female soldiers actually walked past them.

Today's training officer is Niu Gao, he saw that dozens of soldiers did not listen to the order and stood still, and when he turned around, he saw a group of female soldiers, Niu Gao was immediately furious, and whipped these soldiers on their heads and faces, "You male dogs in estrus, haven't you ever seen a woman?" Get out of here, each person will run twenty laps of the martial arts arena, one less lap Lao Tzu will kill him! ”

A group of soldiers were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they ran twenty laps, and they were going to run away from the dead! But no one dared to disobey the order, and the bargaining was probably about to turn into running fifty laps, and dozens of people had to lower their heads and run around the martial arts arena.

Niu Gao scolded again: "The others continue to train, who dares to look at a woman again, Lao Tzu gouges out his eyeballs!" ”

The women's barracks has been built, located in the northwest corner of the barracks, close to the Intelligence Division, covering an area of about 100 acres, composed of nearly 100 large tents, it is actually part of the barracks, but separated by a barracks fence, a total of two camp gates, a camp gate is located in the barracks, there are female soldiers standing guard in the door, there is no special token, even the main general Li Yanqing is not allowed to enter the women's barracks, the special token is in the hands of Mo Jun, generally speaking, only military doctors are eligible to receive special tokens to enter the women's barracks.

The other gate is external, and a sentry is built next to the gate, which is also guarded and sentry by female soldiers, but the gate to the outside has not been completely repaired, and the first batch of female soldiers have passed through the barracks, attracting the attention of countless soldiers.

Although the female soldiers are slightly lower than the male soldiers, the welfare is not bad, the food is slightly better than the male soldiers, each person has two sets of soft military uniforms, with a war knife, a bow and arrows, a shield and a dagger, in addition to a military blanket and two sheepskins per person, and winter clothes and bedding after the cold weather.

The female soldiers did not go to the battlefield, but they still had to be trained, mainly in formation, knife technique and foot shooting.

On the empty small school field of the women's barracks, 150 recruits had already lined up, and Hu Qing'er, the general of the women's barracks, gave a lecture.

Hu Qing'er's name in the army is Hu Sanniang, and she stared at these female soldiers coldly, all of them were sixteen or seventeen years old, all of them were full of vitality, and their faces were full of handsomeness.

"My name is Hu Qing'er, you can also call me Sanniang, from today on, I am your chief general, and I am also the chief general of the female barracks, there will be more than 500 people in the women's barracks, you are the first batch, you may have questions, what to do when recruiting female soldiers?
