Chapter 593: Trading

Mao Youjun threw the small bag to his own soldiers, his face was much more pleasant, he said: "This general is in charge of the Tieshan area, where there are many big trees, but it is not as convenient as Kuandian after felling can be drifted down the river to Haikou, if you still want a large amount of wood, it is best to discuss with Vice General Chen, I can also help you speak." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to Mao Youjun's words, Cheng Fang said with a smile: "We build sea ships in Taiwan, although the forests over there are very dense, but there are not many big trees, and the wood here in Liaodong is much stronger than there, and the more wood used for shipbuilding, the better." ”

Originally, he and Yusheng went to Liaodong here to cut down big trees is a good cooperation condition negotiated between the two sides, Mao Wenlong got several boats of weapons and food, and now the Dongjiang River is officially opened, although the imperial court does not allocate much silver, Denglai Governor Yuan Keli is constantly replenishing food, cloth and medicinal materials, of course, there are armor and weapons, Mao Wenlong took advantage of this to develop greatly, according to Chengfang's intelligence, Dongjiang Town now has at least 20,000 to 30,000 or so soldiers, even if the equipment level is not as good as Liaoxi, it is not the original state called Huazi.

The situation in Dongjiang Town has improved, and the attitude of cooperation with He Yusheng has changed, before Cheng Fang, Mao Wenlong will definitely meet with him, and the attitude is pleasant, these two times, I can no longer see Mao Wenlong, and even these generals below have begun to make things difficult, fortunately, He Yusheng is well versed in the role of the silver bullet offensive, and after giving gifts many times, at least the relationship with these generals stationed everywhere is not bad.

"There is one more thing," Cheng Fang said, "We are here this time to recruit some sturdy Liao people to take away." ”

"I can't be a family member of this matter." Mao Youjun said: "You have to see the handsome." ”

Cheng Fang said: "I don't know if the marshal is free to meet below?" ”

"See what the Chinese army said." Mao Youjun waved his hand and walked away on his own.

Cheng Fang took Li Shouxin and more than 20 other important officers to ask to see Mao Chenglu of the Chinese army.

When Mao Chenglu heard the news and summoned Cheng Fang, he was in the mansion of the chief soldier in Dongjiang Town.

Mao Chenglu is a tall Liaodong man, his face is full of wildness, and the cruelty in his eyes is very obvious, and he is practicing Neiding.

Seeing this, Cheng Fang and the others stopped, there was a small school field in the General Soldier's Mansion, and the Nedin were immediately catching and fighting, everyone was using real weapons, knives and guns, which looked very thrilling.

Mao Chenglu watched from the side, and when he saw a Neiding dodging a weapon, he fell off his horse, and was furious, and immediately walked up to Naneding, picked up a stick and beat it.

"Kill your dog's day, beat your dog's day," Mao Chenglu kept beating that Neiding, scolding while beating: "There is meat to eat and steamed buns to eat every day, you practice like this on your dog's day?" ”

Nedin had a beard on his face, looking about the same age as Mao Chenglu, this son was beaten and his face was covered with blood, and he kept wailing: "Grandson will never dare anymore, uncle spare his life, grandson will never dare again." ”

"Boom!"

Mao Chenglu hit dozens of sticks, the man was beaten to death, the inner dings were all standing aside and watching, Mao Chenglu looked at them, and said with a murderous face: "Who else dares to learn from him?" ”

Of course, everyone didn't even dare to say it, Mao Chenglu said: "The Neiding who stayed here has changed his surname to Mao, either the righteous son of the handsome man or the righteous grandson, the safety of the handsome on the battlefield depends on you, don't want to mix here if you are not good at martial arts, you also know what the fate will be!" ”

Everyone is solemn, because everyone knows that the end of the Nedin who was driven out of the door is very miserable, the land is taken back, changed back to the original surname, there is no general will accept them as Nedin, and they can't be pro-Ding, the most dangerous places on the battlefield are sent to these people, because they are strong in martial arts, so the Nedin who removed his identity must die much faster than ordinary people.

Seeing that the Nedin were training desperately, five or six people were injured in a short period of time, and the injured did not dare to make a sound, and came down to bandage each other, Mao Chenglu nodded, and his murderous face showed a satisfied expression.

Cheng Fang whispered to Li Shouxin at this time: "Mao Chenglu was first a right-wing guerrilla of the Phidao battalion, and now he is a general of Neiding, and all of Mao Shuai's Neiding are under his control. ”

Li Shouxin looked at the front with a complicated expression, and most of the officers around him were also like this, and everyone looked contemplative.

After half a ring, Li Shouxin said: "When I was a teenager, I saw Neiding in Datong Town, who was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, rampant in the market, and the magistrates did not dare to ask. At that time, I was very envious, if Xindao could be a nain, it would be in vain in this life. Later, I learned that Nedin was going to change his surname, and I gradually broke this idea in my heart......"

In the end, Li Shouxin pursed his lips and said, "Fortunately, we are in Heyusheng, under the command of adults." ”

Everyone nodded, and Cheng Fang whispered: "These people in front of me not only changed their surnames, but also recognized Mao Shuai as their father-in-law, which is still early and later, such as the batch in front of me, most of them are righteous grandsons, and they are grandchildren, Mao Chenglu is the eldest of the righteous sons, and is called Mao Da." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

After standing for a long time, Mao Chenglu waved his hand, and the inner dings hurriedly retreated, Mao Chenglu strode over, looked at Cheng Fang and said, "Brother Cheng, let's meet again." ”

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "General Mao is not welcome here?" ”

"Welcome." Mao Chenglu said: "Every time I come, I harvest the benefits of my brother, how can I not welcome it?" ”

Cheng Fang was about to take something outside, but Mao Chenglu stopped him, and Mao Chenglu said, "Please come with me." ”

He led everyone to the west, and after passing through a door was a row of warehouses, the guards inside were all wearing iron armor, holding spears and knives in their hands, and when they saw Mao Chenglu coming, the guards got out of the way.

Mao Chenglu took off the key from his waist and opened the door of a warehouse.

As soon as the library door opened, it was suddenly dazzling with silver light!

Half of the whole room was stacked with silver taels, and there were also gold, large ingots of silver and broken silver, Mao Chenglu took a closer look at it, and said, "These gold and silver have not been re-smelted." ”

Cheng Fang and the others didn't speak, and the gold and silver in front of them were about tens of thousands of taels, although they looked like a lot, but in the eyes of the people who were with Yusheng, it was like that.

Mao Chenglu opened several other doors, and the inside was full of furs, all kinds of skins, bear skins, tiger skins, mink skins, fox skins, and most of them were deer skins.

These leather goods, the most expensive is tiger skin and bear skin, good quality, the value of a hundred taels is not exaggerated, the difference in quality is also worth dozens of taels, deer skin is the cheapest, a skin about five taels, these leather goods, are equivalent to gold and silver hard currency, at that time China at least 200 million to 300 million people, and in the Xiaoice period, Guangdong will snow, the country's demand for leather goods is not at all the existing production can be satisfied, even sheepskin and cowhide, the most common skin, the value is also expensive.

In the other warehouse, there are very valuable goods such as ginseng, tiger bones, bear paws, and Dongzhu, and when they saw this, Cheng Fang and others were also moved.

After Cheng Fang finished reading it, he asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what General Mao meant by asking me to wait to see these?" ”

Mao Chenglu stared at Cheng Fang for a while, and said slowly: "If Brother Cheng really doesn't understand, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Mao Shuai." ”

Cheng Fang smiled helplessly and said: "Dongjiang Town, Mao Shuai due to insufficient military salaries, the imperial court has not paid military salaries, grain and grass, it is the above begging to allow Dongjiang Town to sell fur Dongzhu and other things on Phi Island, to supplement military salaries, these furs and other goods are supposed to be the harvest of Dongjiang Town in recent years. What do you mean, do you ask us to receive the goods with Yusheng? ”

"Yes!" Mao Chenglu said in a rough voice: "He Yusheng's family has a big business, and you can eat the goods we have saved for a year and a half at once. ”

Cheng Fang stared at Mao Chenglu, and after half a sound, Mao Chenglu actually blushed.

Mao Chenglu couldn't bear it, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Cheng forgive my sins, I, Dongjiang, am not turning my face and denying people, it is really a new military town, and my family background is too thin, so I have to do it as a last resort." ”

Cheng Fang snorted, and then turned his gaze.

In the Dongjiang River has not yet established a town, Mao Wenlong and his subordinates in the most difficult time, Cheng Fang brought a boat several times to fund, at that time said that it was in arrears, and in the future to take a big wood to offset the account, in fact, it is for nothing, Liaodong here is lacking in everything else, the most resources are the boundless forest, and there is an outlet to the sea, cut down the wood and put it in the water, go straight to the sea, and get it on the boat, no matter how convenient it is.

This kind of transaction, Dongjiang Town has earned so much that it can't be earned, and the same is true of Dingkou who wants Yusheng, Dongjiang Town has taken in too many refugees, because of the lack of food, and after the winter, there are one after another dead people, and Yusheng wants to take people away, which is simply better.

As for Mao Chenglu's statement that his family background is too thin, it is also true, but Mao Chenglu deliberately exposed the silver treasury in order to suppress and promote Yusheng, and his behavior is simply hateful.

Cheng Fang pondered for a long time and said, "How do you want to trade in your town?" ”

Mao Chenglu said: "We sell furs and other goods, and you can also bring gold and silver, preferably grain, weapons, and armor." We know that Heyusheng's iron tools, weapons and armor made of them, and firecrackers are good, and we have to buy a lot of these things. ”

Cheng Fang said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid that your fur and other goods may not be able to cover the payment for the goods, and the value of the wood is not high, so you still have to pay us cash, right?" ”

Mao Chenglu said: "There is also a Ding mouth that is also folded with silver......"

Cheng Fang's eyes widened when he heard this, Mao Chenglu's face turned red, and he said: "If it's not enough, or if your ministry doesn't have too many mouths, then we ask for credit." ”

Cheng Fang said: "Please allow me to think about it. ”

Mao Chenglu said: "This is natural, I will go back to the marshal now, and I will arrange time to meet Brother Cheng and others later." ”

He only looked at Li Shouxin and others at this time, Li Shouxin and his subordinates are wearing military robes, which are different from the arrow suits or military attache robes of the Ming Army in Dongjiang Town and Liaoxi, compared to the military attache robes to be concise and practical, and more beautiful and prominent in design than arrow clothes, and the military temperament of Li Shouxin and others is also very obvious, more than 20 people are standing upright and solemn, their expressions are resolute and self-controlled, their eyes are not angry and self-controlled, and they are not ordinary at first glance.

Mao Chenglu glanced at it and said: "No wonder your ministry can open up more than 100 miles of land in the grassland, I have heard that the elite of the merchant group training with Yusheng is not under the border army, and the general thought that people were talking nonsense, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

Li Shouxin thanked him when he heard this, and his expression was indifferent, because although Mao Chenglu praised him, his arrogance was still very obvious.
