Forty-fifth

The dispute over grain and grass has risen, and we have deceived each other

Entering the lobby, the guests and hosts are seated, the seat is over, the gossip is less, and the main topic is entered. Li Ying spoke first: "Yicheng came to Jizhou this time, how did you feel about it?" Jizhou has been decided, relying on your credit! Li Ying stopped halfway through his words and waited for Li Xin's answer. This is too obvious, which is to let Li Xin understand his situation, and then become dissatisfied with the two major forces of Kanto and Kansai, so as to shorten the distance between him and Li Xin.

Li Xin replied: "The matter in Jizhou is not the credit of righteousness, it all depends on the lives of the soldiers, I just participated in the dispatch." When it comes to merit, it's far less than those soldiers! I was only a weak crown to rule the land of a state, and I relied on the trust of the imperial court, so it is appropriate to serve the imperial court, and besides, with the help of so many adults, I am naturally grateful to them! can share their worries, and they can't ask for it. "Li Xin's trace is also very clear, don't think that I can't see your discord plan, I have a good relationship with those two families, you don't need to sow discord, just say something directly, don't think about it. It's useless to play a little trick like yours.

Li Yinggan laughed a few times, and began to talk to Li Xin straight to the point, "I came from Liangzhou this time to make a deal with you." ”

Li Xin asked knowingly: "Oh, what goods is Yicheng worth coming from afar and working hard?" With a sneer on his face, he thought to himself: "Just say it when you form an alliance, do you still need to do this?" ”

Li Ying saw that Li Xin didn't take the bait, so he had to say: "We want to make a deal with you, and the two families will help each other when necessary." Li Ying already felt that what he said was in place, but he didn't expect Li Xin to deliberately lead the topic.

"Is it a salt business, I have heard that you have come from afar to buy salt, so let's go back first, I will call the person in charge of the salt well under me, and then we will talk, how about it?" Li thought in confidence, it seems that he will not tell the truth if he doesn't push you to be anxious.

Li Ying saw that the matter had come to this point, so he could only tell the truth: "Buying salt is just a small business, mainly a matter of cooperation between the two companies? ”

"Forget it, I'm a little person who can't afford to climb high, if I cooperate with you, I won't get any benefits in the end, and it's a blessing not to be swallowed up by you in the end, so you better ask for another master."

Li Ying took a look, okay, this is a lord who can't afford to be profitable, and he is extremely tough, so let's give him some sweetness first to see if it will be better: "We naturally know this, but we came with sincerity." ”

"Oh, what is it?"

"Our Li family in Longxi has been in Liangzhou for a long time, and there is nothing else, but there are a lot of jewels from the Western Regions, and now I have brought a batch as a deposit for cooperation." At the same time, he asked his subordinates to take out a gift slip from the gift and hand it to Li Xin.

Li Xin saw that it was really a big deal, just this one gift, without hundreds of taels of gold, it was impossible to buy it, so he said: "How can you be willing to give such a valuable gift?" Nothing is diligent, either treachery or theft. It seems that you have a lot of plans! After speaking, he glanced at Li Ying meaningfully.

Li Ying's whole body is unbearable, everyone knows, but you can't say it clearly, "There, it's just the bitter cold of Liangzhou, the land is barren, we can't bear to see the people suffer, so we specially sent me to buy a batch of grain and grass to tide over the difficulties, and you also know that salt in Liangzhou is extremely scarce, so I specially came to buy it, because I have to buy it every year, so I want to find a stable collaborator, Lord Thorn Shi is a branch of the Li family of Zhao County, and it is really our clan, so I asked for help." The price is good to say, it could be slightly higher"

Li Xin thought that this Li Ying was so powerful, first he used righteousness to pressure me and then played the family card, I had to make me agree, it seems that there must be a problem behind it, Li Xin couldn't help but think of the history books he had read in his previous life, and found that everything seemed to be able to be figured out. The Li family in Longxi needs a lot of grain and grass to expand its forces in Liangzhou, but it is impossible for the two families in Kanto and Kansai to let his Li family sit big, so they use this item to jam his neck, and the Li family has no way, so they naturally find themselves, and when they have conflicts with those two families, let themselves promise to help. But do you have to help them?

"This makes Yicheng embarrassed? Salt is easy to say, you can mix a batch from the mined salt wells, I believe those local families will not say anything, after all, the price can be a little higher, I think you also understand this truth, but I really have nothing to do in terms of grain and grass. I'm worried about this myself, and the state is not much better than your Liangzhou, and my local food production will be enough, and I have to buy it from other places. Don't worry, since you're willing to pay more, I'm sure someone will sell you. Several in Jizhou are good choices, why bother looking for me? Li Xin played an official tone, not at all.

At this time, Li Ying looked a little embarrassed, tell the truth, I am afraid that Li Xin will ask for a price; Don't say it, it is obvious that you can't get grain and grass, so you can't help it: "We have no choice, you also know that we are extremely unhappy with those families because of the problem in Liangzhou, how can they sell us food, so we can only look for you?" ”

"If they don't sell, what's the use of looking for me? I am among these families, and I naturally follow what they do, otherwise I don't even have a foothold? ”

"This" Li Ying had no choice, he didn't believe that Li Xin couldn't even do this, he just wanted to get greater benefits, how did he know that Li Xin didn't want to provide food and grass at all. You must know that in the history books, if Dong Zhuo's army hadn't been able to buy food, it wouldn't have looted, and it wouldn't have failed so quickly, and in the end, the entire Liangzhou Group had no money to spend. If you get too much supplies, you could take the world by storm in one fell swoop.

Li Ying thought for a while, "Otherwise, let's buy it at a price that exceeds two percent of the market, what do you think?" And I understand your question, so I don't need to have too much, 50,000 stone grain and grass a year is enough. ”

"50,000 stone grain and grass, this amount is a bit too much, I just bought it from other states and counties, and this amount is not enough, so don't let the lion open his mouth? Okay, five thousand? ”

"Five thousand stones, it's not as convenient as sending caravans to buy sporadically, you and I each take a step back, how about forty-five thousand?"

The two began to argue over the issue of food and grass, Li Xin hoped to provide less, and Li Ying hoped that the larger the quantity, the better, so naturally it was another war of words.
