Chapter 279: I don't know what Master Sima wants

"At this time, it is already winter and the wind is cold, if you have any urgent business, it is just a matter of a letter, He Laomin's housekeeper ran this time against the wind and cold, come, please inside!" , Since the embargo was issued on the day of the fight, Tang Cheng has been mentally prepared for the Min family to send people, but he doesn't know what the origin of this taunt who followed Min Su'an is? Tang Cheng guessed in his heart, but with an affectionate smile on his face, he let the two of them in.

"Min Moufu is thin, it's just an errand life, I don't deserve to be treated so favorably by Lord Sima", Min Su'an replied with a smile, and bit the official title of "Sima" with a shocking sound, and greeted him with a look, and the Xi people who came with him followed Zheng San into Tang Cheng's private account on the other side, but he himself stayed outside the tent.

"What Sima is not Sima, it's just a vacancy for the officials of the imperial court, Steward Min is laughing at me!" Seeing this, Tang Cheng didn't enter the account, and after taking two steps forward to Min Su'an's side, the two stood side by side on the grassland of this 'urine' world and spoke, "Brother Su'an, but what do you have to tell the observation adult?" ”

"Lord Sima is no longer a subordinate official of Hebei Province now, and my master's edict can still be carried out on this grassland?" , Min Su'an still has a tone that is neither yin nor yang, "What a big business, how big a matter, Lord Tang, you say stop it, heh!" What a heavy official authority! ”

Since the first time he dealt with him, Tang Chengcheng knew that Min Su'an was an out-and-out villain, and now Rao Le had a lot to do, so he didn't have the heart to worry about this villain, "What? The private message I handed to the Jinyang Observation Embassy was confiscated by the second housekeeper? ”

"Do you have a letter?" , Min Suan was skeptical.

"Observe one each for Lord Observation and Steward Min, the letter will arrive sooner or later, can this deceive people?" , Tang Cheng sighed and said: "It's also to blame me for being too cautious, thinking that when I was concerned with observing the matter and making the adults deliver the letter, I didn't dare to take the hurried delivery of the border army...... Ay! Don't say it, Brother Su An's trip is all a mistake, and he will definitely make up for it later, my brother must not shirk it."

Since Tang Cheng took over the Northland trade from Niu Zude, he first canceled the self-built caravan, which saved a lot of expenses, in addition, he integrated the supply source of the Raole grassland and even the entire northern tribe through Longmen Xi, and indirectly controlled the merchant network covering the north, Min Qian's monopoly business was really done by him, not only quickly realized the promise of increasing the profit of 20% on the day, but the net profit even soared to 40% when the largest transaction in the autumn, For this reason, Min Qian, the master who has never asked too much about businessmen and trade, was amazed, and carefully inquired about Tang Cheng's business methods, and looking at his face when he listened to the return, his appreciation for Tang Cheng's shrewdness and long-sleeved dancing was beyond words.

Xu is because of this, the master was rarely angry after hearing that Tang Cheng was good at advocating the embargo this time, and just ordered him to ask-just ask, Min Qian has such an attitude, Min Su'an, who lost Shang Fang's sword, actually can't help Tang Cheng when he comes, even if he wants to play with right and wrong, he has to go back this time. In the final analysis, what he did just now was just a foreshadowing of ulterior motives to do things that he had privately received.

"That's it!" , has been in contact with Tang Cheng for so many days, although Min Suan is very appreciative of the master's importance to him, but he also admits from the bottom of his heart that Tang Cheng is a man of his words and a generous face, much stronger than the previous Niu Zude, and that ugly thing is as bad as losing a piece of meat. Now that Tang Cheng said that he wanted to "make up for his mistakes", Min Suan, who had achieved his goal, suddenly took advantage of the situation to close the tent, and said with a wry smile in a heartfelt tone: "You are really reckless this time, seeing Rao Le smoking everywhere, it should be a good time for the weapons and iron industry to rise sharply, why did you give it an embargo?" Tsk, how much do you have to lose in one day, and how much in a month? My lord's ...... Hey, don't talk about it, who let us have a deep friendship, I am willing to eat and hang up my brother for your brother"

"Don't say anything between you and me", Tang Cheng reached over and patted Min Su'an's shoulder with a touched face, "My embargo is also for business"

Min Su'an really didn't understand Tang Cheng's words, and was stunned: "Oh? ”

"Brother Min, think about it, what is the most important thing in the arms and iron weapons business?"

"Needless to say?" , Min Su'an covered his mouth and smiled when he heard this, the demeanor of the rabbit master was undoubtedly displayed, and there was a bit of Tang Cheng's trickery in his laughter, "You have to have a war, and no amount of blacksmith stoves can be opened together in a war, and the bow and arrows are flying all over the sky, what is this, this fight is all money!" ”

"Brother Min understands it, but this battle is also big and small, and for us, the longer the fight, the better."

"This is true", Min Su'an blinked, "It's just that Rao Le is not under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court......"

Tang Cheng waved his hand and said categorically: "Then we should find a way to let them fight in Changli"

Iron weapons, especially military weapons, business is extremely profitable, and it is great to do such a business for one more day, let alone three or five months and a year for a year, hearing this, Min Su'an was like a dog who asked about the smell of rotting corpses, and his body shook and his eyes widened suddenly, "What way do you have without defects?" ”

"What can I do, but I just think of a way from the business in hand", Tang Cheng turned his head and looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Brother Min, think about how to fight this battle without weapons?" Eighty percent of Raole's weapons are imported from within the customs, and the way to import these eighty percent of weapons is in our hands, which means ......"

Hearing this, Min Su'an, who vaguely understood something, only felt that his throat was dry, and asked urgently: "What ......?"

"This means that how to sell our weapons, who to sell to and who not to sell to in Raole's five departments, how much to sell at a time, and how often to sell it can directly affect the entire process of Raole's war, even if it can't decide the final result, at least there should be no problem in delaying this war for a while, Brother Min thinks about it, how much profit can be generated by delaying it for one more day?" , Tang Cheng's low laughter revealed a hint of coldness, "A certain previous order to embargo weapons is precisely to let Rao Le Wubu know our weight, the clearer they understand this, the easier it will be to talk when doing business with them later, these people are used to being rebellious, how can they not beat and suppress their arrogance?" ”

At this point, Min Su'an could not have heard it very clearly, and at the same time he understood what Tang Cheng said, his heart was shaking, and he affected the course of the war with the sale of weapons, and then the process of the war further promoted the sale of weapons...... What else can you do? I've seen it, I've seen it!

"Everyone is a brother, I don't believe in you anymore, no defect, Rao Le's weapons business will come according to the charter you said, and I will say it for you, master", Rao is Min Su repeatedly reminded himself to stabilize his strength and not let Tang Cheng be too proud, but the excitement in his voice couldn't be hidden, and after saying this, he made a gesture and groaned for a while before saying: "The charter is according to your charter, but my brother also has something to ask you to be accommodating this time."

"What is accommodating, just say it", Tang Cheng said with a smile as he raised his hand to signal that he would enter the account and speak.

Min Suan's body didn't move, he still stood in place and raised his chin to the tent and said: "The Xi man who came with me is the younger brother of the leader of the Suo Department, and he walked to the door of an old relationship and found his brother and said that he wanted to buy some weapons, I didn't want to take such a bad thing, but the love of that old relationship can't be erased, this can only be found in front of you, no matter how much I rely on getting some weapons to him, it is all my face, you see...... Can this be done? ”

After hearing Min Suan's request, and then hearing the origin of the Xi people, Tang Cheng was so happy that he almost looked up to the sky and roared, this is really a person who is sleepy and meets the one who sends the pillow - there is no more suitable. According to his position, he didn't want to see Rao Le Wubu have a monopoly now, this is too big an invisible threat to Longmen, and now the strength of Yu Suo and Sha Li in the five departments is obviously superior, but Sha Li has the support of the Khitan people behind him, even if Min Suan does not come today, Tang has become the purpose of balancing consumption and intends to take the initiative to contact the Yu Suo Department, and now it can be avoided.

Doing business to negotiate conditions, taking the initiative to find someone else's door and others to beg you are completely two concepts!

Although Tang Cheng was very happy when he heard the news, he groaned for a long time with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Brother Min, my plan was originally to ban it again...... That's it, since it was Brother Min who opened his mouth, I definitely didn't refute the reason that made you embarrassed", seeing Tang Cheng's arrogant wave of his hand, Min Suan, who had received the great benefits of Yu Suohai, finally fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, "Okay, there is no lack of affection, I have written down this affection!" ”

When Tang Cheng stretched out his hand again, Min Su'an, who had a smile on his face, took a comfortable step towards the tent.

"This Xi man really has some ways, and he can actually find Brother Min's subordinates", Tang Cheng walked into the tent, and said with a little worry: "It's just that this matter has spread, and I am afraid that the observation will make the adults ......."

"With such a big business, where can you hide all the people?" , Min Su'an waved his hand disapprerovingly for Tang Cheng's unfinished intentions, "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, my lord's officials in the past few decades have not been done in vain, don't say that he is a ridiculous barbarian, even if he has that ungrateful mind, what kind of movement can he make in the Tang Dynasty officialdom?" These people are not satisfied with the king, the court not only does not receive a little benefit from them every year, but also spends a lot of money to reward them, and now catch up with them cannibalism is to die as much as possible, and save money for the court, who cares about this? ”

Min Su'an said it so bluntly, Tang Cheng really didn't know what to say, just at this time, the two had already walked to the front of the tent, and Tang Cheng stopped talking at that moment, and walked in with a smile.

Seeing Min Su'an with a relaxed smile on his face, Yu Suohai in the tent quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and it was done! Then he focused all his attention on Tang Cheng and looked up and down for a long time. I really didn't expect that it was such a young Tang man who controlled the entry and exit of Rao Le's military weapons and irons, and he actually had the identity of Sima of Rao Ledu's Governor's Mansion. According to the news, this Sima Tangcheng robbed Li Chengzhong, and as for Li Chengzhong's edict to voluntarily abdicate the throne, nine times out of ten, it was also from his instructions.

This person is not simple, I must talk to my brother when I go back this time.

Such thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, but in any case, Yu Suohai was full of surprises for being able to buy weapons smoothly, to say that the most uncomfortable thing in this embargo was that they were in the Yu Suo Department, and the battle for hegemony with Shali suddenly ran out of weapons at the moment of the battle, how could this battle be fought? What's even worse is that the strong enemy Shali has the support of the Khitan dog behind him, and he is not afraid of this at all, no matter what the price is, the Suo Department must open up the road of weapon supply, and the time must be as fast as possible.

When Yu Suohai's thoughts turned sharply, Tang Cheng and Min Suan had already sat down, followed by a brief introduction and salute.

After the greetings, Min Suan, who had a bottom in his heart, didn't say any more nonsense, and directly mentioned the supply of weapons to the Yusuo Department.

"Since Brother Min has come forward, there is nothing to say about this matter", Tang Cheng smiled and ordered outside the tent, "Someone is coming"

Zheng San entered in response, "Go, call Tu Yehei over"

After Tu Yeji came in, Tang Cheng didn't have half a word of superfluous nonsense, and said: "Two thousand scimitars, ten thousand arrows, arrange the caravan to be stocked and equipped as soon as possible, as for how to go on the route, it is up to this Yusuo patriarch wherever it is transported."

"Yes", Tu Yeji nodded and smiled reservedly at Yu Suohai, "Please also ask the patriarch to come to the small tent later"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say", I was fed up with the embargo, and then it was hard to find and deal with Min Suan, I didn't expect things to be so smooth now, and after the overjoyed Yu Suohai nodded to Tu Yehei again and again, he turned around and thanked Tang Cheng and the others.

"If you want to thank Brother Min, Patriarch Yusuo has found the right person this time", Tang Cheng's words in his laughter made Min Suan's eyes narrow.

can do it, this Tang Cheng is a little younger, but he really knows how to do things!

"That's natural, Mr. Min must be thanked here", Yu Suoping bowed his hand to Min Suan before he smiled and said: "The weapons are about to be shipped, and the two of you must also make a charter for this price, so I can also negotiate."

Hearing this, Min Su'an, who didn't say anything, took the opportunity of serving tea sideways and threw a "look" at Tang Cheng.

"Price!" Tang Cheng put his hand on the desk next to him and tapped Shen "groaning" for a while, and then suddenly said: "That's it, since Brother Min is here, I will do this favor to the end, and the weapons that will be shipped this time will be increased by one to five according to the market price at the beginning of the year, Patriarch Yusuo, are you still satisfied?" ”

What time is it! Even the Khitan dog's weapons to Shali have increased by two percent compared to the market price at the beginning of the year, this is still the "support price", Tang Cheng gave a price code that is one and a half percent less than Yu Suohai's most optimistic estimate, what else is he not satisfied with, overjoyed, that Yu Suohai suddenly stood up in disbelief, "Really? ”

"You don't joke", Tang Cheng laughed, "If the patriarch of Yusuo is not at ease, let's go and handle the paperwork first, the charter that should be done here is done first, and the goods will be shipped as soon as possible, as for let's talk about it later."

"Trustworthy, trustworthy", although Yu Suohai said this, people were still in a hurry to get out of the tent after all.

As soon as Yu Suohai walked out of the tent, Min Suan put down the teacup in his hand and complained: "Wufeng, you didn't see my eyes?" According to the current market, don't say that the price will be increased by three or four percent, even if you call it fifty percent, he can only promise."

"Ah, Brother Min, you... I thought...", Tang Cheng slapped his forehead in annoyance, "That's it, there is no reason to regret it again after the matter has come to this point, this is a long-term business, and I will make it up next time."

Min Su'an didn't mean to be relieved at all, he just said: "It's cheap, it's cheap, it's really cheap for him this time."

Seeing him like this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile in his heart, but said: "Brother Min, if you go to talk to Yu Suohai, I will see your face."

"Talk about it, you have to talk about it", Min Suan suddenly stopped when he got up and walked to the door of the tent, turned around and whispered to Tang Cheng and said: "If you have money, everyone will make it, rest assured, your share must be indispensable."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say", after Tang Cheng returned him an embarrassed 'traitor' knowing smile, Min Su'an, who was still annoyed just now, walked out of the account with a smile on his face.

As soon as the others left, Tang Cheng put away the tea cup with a smile, and began to think about the regulations for negotiating the conditions with the Ministry of Peace.

By the time Tang Cheng Min Su'an prepared the reception banquet ready, the things on Yu Suohai's side had been almost done, he was certainly satisfied, and Min Su'an, who took advantage of the opportunity just now and asked for a handful of benefits, was also very satisfied, and in such an atmosphere, this banquet was really a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

When the banquet was about to end, Min Suan glanced at Tang Cheng, glanced at Yu Suohai with an ambiguous smile, and then staggered to stand up and said: "No defects, I'm drunk and want to rest first, don't send, don't send, you two can eat a few more raw meals!" ”

After he left, Yu Suohai raised the bottle and looked at the servant of the banquet when he invited Tang Cheng to drink.

These subordinates were all sent by Tu Yezhuo to take care of Tang Cheng's diet and daily life, and after Tang Cheng sent them down, Yu Suohai gently placed a stack of thick flying tickets in front of Tang Cheng when he got up.

Tang Cheng picked up the thick stack of flying tickets and swiped them casually, then glanced at Yu Suohai again, and put the flying tickets into his sleeve with a smile.

Seeing that Tang Cheng had received the ticket, Yu Suohai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and picked up the wine bottle, "In the future, the headquarters will have to take care of more adults in the armament, please!" ”

Tang Cheng 'touched' the wine bottle with his hand but never lifted it, and only when the embarrassed Yu Suohai smiled unsustainably did he smile lightly and said: "I can supply weapons, I will give you as much as you want, as for the price, whatever price the Khitan people give to Shali, I will give you whatever price."

When he heard this last sentence, Yu Suohai's body was shocked, and after taking a deep look at Tang Cheng, the smile on his face was also cleaned while putting down the wine bottle in his hand, "It's naturally good, I don't know what Lord Sima wants?" ”
