Chapter 367: Battle
"Well, let me think!" Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said: "I guess you should have reached a deal with someone on the way, directly got rid of the goods in your hand, and at the same time entrusted this person to help you raise grain and grass, I don't know if that's the case?" ”
Fur has always been a good object to protect against the cold, as a businessman knows very well that as long as there is goods in hand, there is no worry about selling at all, the only thing to worry about is whether it can be eaten.
Bu Fat Man transported the whole batch of furs from Shuofang to the border of Guanzhong, in addition to the support of the military along the way, the local government also spent a lot of copper money to dot it, which can be said to have completed the most difficult road, so that the distance in Guanzhong Land obviously has no scruples for them.
In this way, the fat man reached a deal with a certain businessman on the way, which was a smooth thing.
The boss who opened his mouth was frightened, and his eyes popped out.
Apparently he was simply taken aback.
Because although Zhang Yi didn't completely guess the situation along the way, he was definitely right for most of the time, and the place where he didn't guess correctly was not because he guessed wrong, but because Zhang Yi hadn't guessed yet.
Looking at the surprised expressions of several people, Zhang Yi continued: "The biggest thing in the entire Datang fur business is undoubtedly the Ministry of War, cowhide can be used to make leather armor, and cow tendon can be used to make bowstrings, both of these things are at the same price in the Tang Dynasty, you naturally sold them to the Ministry of War as soon as you came out of Shuo, although you don't make much money, but it is better than nothing."
And the next sheepskin has become the key, this is our most profitable business, of course, this profit is too big, whether it is the Zhang family or the Cheng family, I am afraid they can't eat it, so if the prince of Chang'an can participate in this business, it will be much easier. However, as the so-called interlaced lines are like mountains, the business is too big, even if you can see that the fur business can make money, but there are definitely not many people who dare to start, in this case, then Qinghe Cui's family is obviously a very good choice.
After all, the Cui family has always had a fur business, and secondly, such a huge cargo is only something they can eat, and the most important thing is that after the Taimiao incident at the beginning of the year, these old nobles have been squeezed by the emerging nobles, and they must also win over some emerging nobles for their own considerations, so we, or Cheng Guogong, are their best choice, if it is not as I expected, it is the Cui family who is trading with you, right? ”
Quiet!
The whole tent was suddenly terrible!
At this moment, Rao was accustomed to seeing Zhang Yi's magic, and Lao Zhong couldn't help but be speechless.
Because Zhang Yi's analysis is just like he followed the fat man all the way through these things, there is no trace of error. You must know that a few people have just returned to Shuofang, Zhang Yi can't know their movements at all, just by relying on time and a little bit of information revealed in Bu Fengfeng's mouth, how terrifying is this?
And now, both Tang Peng and Bu Jingfeng finally have a certain understanding of Zhang Yi's so-called cleverness, and at the same time, the word 'demon' involuntarily appeared in their minds.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi is on their side, otherwise it would be a headache.
Just when the two of them sighed at Zhang Yi's magic, no one noticed that a strange look flashed in the corner of the old clock's eyes at this time, it was a look of surprise and hesitation, and when he turned his head again, the old man's face was full of praise.
Things are the same as Zhang Yi thought, it was the Qinghe Cui family who traded with the fat man, or the Cui family was just a representative figure.
After all, the grain of the 50,000 army is not something that one family can satisfy, and as the relationship between the five surnames and seven hopes, it is reasonable for the Lu family, the Dou family, and even several other families to participate in it.
It's just that it's the Cui family who came out!
Of course, on the other hand, it can also be seen that the five surnames and Qiwang also took advantage of this to give in to Li Er, and eased their relationship with Li Er by assisting the army in the northern expedition.
Zhang Yi doesn't care what the Cui family or the Dou family or even the other family wants to do, or that the life or death of these old nobles doesn't matter to him at all, what he cares about now is whether Cheng Chumo can come back alive.
Although the trip to Yinshan in history was a big victory, but in fact, winning more with less is especially gambling with life, winning is of course famous, but if you lose, it will become loess.
It is not easy to be a soldier under Li Jing, because he will always have whimsical ideas, and he will always let the soldiers fight with their lives, so death and injury are inevitable. Even though Cheng Chumo himself has already been armed to the teeth by Zhang Yi, according to Cheng Chumo's temperament, Zhang Yi is very worried about whether he can come back completely, otherwise, if even one part is missing, Zhang Yi will also be a sinner of the Cheng family through the ages.
In the next few days, Shuofang City seemed to usher in spring again, and all the people in the entire city began to get busy. Almost every few days, herds of cattle and sheep slowly entered Shuofang City under the shouts of the captured Turks. Whether it is the merchants or soldiers of Shuofang City, they will have the qualifications to take a piece of the pie on them.
Of course, in terms of benefit distribution, there is no doubt that the people who go out with the Mo knife account for the majority, or maybe they have tasted the sweetness, so they are extremely popular in the city. While the hot people were killing sheep and skinning them to make dried mutton, the captains in the army who were constantly asking for war surrounded Zhang Yi's camp.
"Uncle, you see that the fifth brother has been out several times, and the wind and snow outside are unbearable, you see if you can replace my brother over there!"
"Yes, uncle, it's time for the fifth brother to rest, the headquarters asked him to work hard outside to let us share dividends in the city with peace of mind, right? Besides, the fifth brother and they all drove those Turkic barbarians a hundred miles away, and this coming and going has long since changed from one day of hard work to four and a half days ....."
"It's nothing if it takes a long time, the key is that I'm worried that the fifth brother won't be able to bear it, and many brothers are frostbitten....."
"Yes, yes! Anyway, everyone is a brother, and they should all do their part! It just so happens that those brothers of mine have been taking care of their uncle in the past few months, and they can be described as fat and strong, just exercising and exercising to eliminate food, I think let's replace the fifth brother and they go out to hunt fat sheep....."
.....
Zhang Yi's head hurts, and all the soldiers are shameless, and they keep saying that they are thinking about Wang Lao Wu and Shuo Fangcheng, but they are actually greedy for the fat difference of going out to loot.
That's a good errand that can directly get fifty percent of the net profit, as long as you casually exterminate the cattle and sheep delivered by a tribe, they are all tinkling copper coins!
