"You want to use the wine made from sorghum to exchange the wealth of the Liao and Jin people? I'm afraid it's hard! ”

At this time, Zong Ze's face was already much better, at least when he knew that Qian Heng was embarrassing himself for the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty, Zong Ze chose to give up unconditionally, and no longer pursued Qian Heng's use of unpalatable food to trap himself.

Qian Heng said with a smile, "Master Zong, wealth does not only refer to gold and silver money, such as Jin Liao's horses and sheep, which can be measured as wealth!" ”

Zong Ze said, "Of course I know this, but how could they be willing to sell their horses to us?" ”

Qian Heng was happy, "You must know that the land of Jinliao is mostly a bitter cold land, and it is good wine, especially for the preference for spirits, which is much stronger than my Great Song Dynasty, and the spirits I brewed, you have also tasted it, you might as well think about it as a northerner, if they drink our wine in that bitter cold place?" ”

At this time, Chen Dong helped on the side, "Yes, Master Zong, that's what the owner said, as long as we let the northerners taste the delicious taste of spirits and hook up their gluttony, we can't help but they don't sell us horses!" ”

Qian Heng nodded, "And the horses we have in our hands are too few, even if these mares give birth to foals, it will take at least three years before they can serve in the army, so even if the northerners sell us, all of them are castrated war horses, as long as the number increases, we can still have strong cavalry combat power!" ”

For a long time, Zong Ze was very dissatisfied with the combat power of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, and it was precisely because of this that Zong Ze would try his best to train cavalry in Dengzhou.

But if there is no nutritious food to fill the stomachs of these soldiers, how can it be possible to train strong soldiers?

Qian Heng's words made Zong Ze's heart moved, and he also agreed very much.

"In this way, after Hengyuan's wine is brewed, I can let the soldiers I accept eat and drink to my heart's content, and I can still have war horses?"

Zong Ze looked directly at Qian Heng, and his tone was very eager, with a little expectation.

Qian Heng nodded, "Of course, the piglets in the barracks now, some of them are a little bigger, can already be slaughtered and eaten meat, but before the scale is not up, I still recommend not to rush to slaughter, if there is a strong wine output, I can guarantee that the soldiers under the sect will eat the mutton transported by the Jin Kingdom within a month!" ”

Since Qian Heng came to Dengzhou, he began to lay out.

Now, the Dingyuan sales store in charge of Deng Su has already been prepared in place.

Even through the envoys and subordinates of the two countries, they have quietly reached a preliminary agreement with the merchants of the Jin Kingdom.

As long as the second pot head on his side is put into production, a large number of sheep can be transported from Jinguo continuously.

At this time, the strength of the Jin State was rising rapidly, and Qian Heng did not plan to exchange the Jin State for horses, after all, the Jin Kingdom was fighting everywhere, and it was impossible to have extra horses to supply him, and it was even more impossible to provide war horses to the Great Song Dynasty.

So from the very beginning, Qian Heng locked the goal of exchanging horses on those nobles of the Liao State.

The Liao State was established for more than 200 years, and it has long lost the ambition and ambition of conquering the world in the early days of the Liao State, and was deeply influenced by the culture of the Great Song Dynasty.

If there is good wine to give, those Liao nobles will not care whether they are exchanged for horses, let alone whether horses will make the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty stronger.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Qian Heng dared to vouch for Zong Ze, promising to exchange wine for the strength of Zong Ze's soldiers.

Zong Ze pondered for a long time before he said, "Hengyuan, you're a Dingyuan sales company, I'm afraid it's not just to do business with Jin Liao, right?" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "Master Zong, although the student is not talented, but also know that the more wealth you earn, the more opportunities you can have to do more things, since I chose to open this Dingyuan sales store in Dengzhou, I naturally want to take advantage of the advantages of Dengzhou Port to make the business through the sea, Jinliao is just a direction, if possible, I also want to transport the goods from Nanyi or even further regions, and trade with my Great Song Dynasty, when the time comes, not to mention gold and silver treasures, all the special products of Fanbang outside my Great Song Dynasty can be bought from my Dingyuan sales store, at that time, Only then will there be wealth like water to earn! ”

After Qian Heng explained, Zong Ze nodded, "In this way, I will believe you once!" ”

Qian Heng was happy, "How much sorghum can Master Zong take out for me?" ”

Zong Ze thought for a while, "Now after deducting the 20,000 quintals that were returned to you, there are still 200,000 quintals left, of which 20,000 quintals will be reserved for the next year's seeds, and I will expand the scale of cultivation, and leave another 30,000 quintals as a reserve food for the displaced people and relief." The remaining 150,000 quintals can be used for you to make wine! ”

"Great!"

Qian Henggang praised it, suddenly stunned, and asked, "What about the grain tax paid to the treasury?" ”

Zong Ze snorted coldly, "Food tax? All my sorghum is planted from newly reclaimed wasteland, and it is not enough for me to use it myself, where is there room for them! ”

Speaking of this, Zong Ze waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about these things, I just want to know, how many things can I exchange for my 150,000 quintals of sorghum?" ”

Qian Heng laughed, "Don't worry, if the wine is brewed, I can guarantee that a thousand war horses, 10,000 sheep, free supplies of medical high wine and daily soap needed for soldiers' training, and if they can be exchanged for things that other adults can use, they can be given to adults!" ”

Zong Ze was stunned, if the soldiers under his command were not counted those who were old, weak, sick and disabled, there would be more than 8,000 backbone soldiers, and according to the number promised by Qian Heng, it would definitely be enough.

Since Qian Heng behaved so happily, Zong Ze also waved his hand, "So it's decided, today you can arrange for someone to go to the military camp to transport sorghum!" ”

Qian Heng smiled, turned his head sideways at Chen Dong and ordered, "Chen Dong, did you hear that, it's time for you to show your skills!" ”

Chen Dong also nodded for a while, "Don't worry, the good wine will be produced soon, then I'll go first!" ”

After Chen Dong finished speaking, he left the high platform directly and officially began to enter the large-scale brewing of the second pot.

Watching Chen Dong leave with an excited face, Zong Zecai said, "Hengyuan, you are busy all day long, but you have to hurry up and review the book, it won't be long before the state exam will start, don't let Mr. Yanshan and me down!" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "Although this old man can rest assured, Hengyuan is ready, and after this state test, he must at least get a reputation for raising people!" ”

"That's it!"

Zong Ze nodded, "You have already obtained the cultivator given by the official family, if you can win the promotion, you can be qualified to arrange the official position!" ”

Qian Heng shook his head for a while, "I'm not in a hurry to arrange an official position, if it is feasible, I would like to be admitted all the way up and strive to get a Jinshi and the first rank!" ”

Zong Ze smiled a little bitterly, "Hengyuan don't think about things so simply, you offended the servant Li Yan in Bianjing before, I'm afraid they won't be willing to let you come out!" ”
