"Mr. Qiu, why are you so anxious?" Although Peng Yue asked with a smile on his face, he was very impatient in his heart.
"Master Peng, there is something I want to discuss with you...", Qiu Luan looked left and right and said in a low voice.
"What's the matter? Let's say...", Peng Yue looked at the side a little nonchalantly.
"My lord, the power of the artillery you developed has been seen by the lower officials, and the lower officials also want to transport some back to Gansu Town. It must be known that Gansu is also often invaded by the Tartars, and if there are adult artillery, it must not be a problem to repel them. Qiu Luan said with a smile.
"It turns out that this is the case...", Peng Yue also laughed, "You don't need to say this, I will also transport some to Gansu." Although the defensive position of Datong and Xuanfu is extraordinary, the role of other border towns cannot be ignored. Don't worry, I'll definitely ship some artillery to Gansu. ”
"If that's the case, then I'll thank you first...", Qiu Luan listened to Peng Yue's promise, and his heart became happy.
"But now the number of artillery pieces is not very large, and I can only transport a few to Gansu...", Peng Yue reminded.
In fact, Peng Yue didn't want to do this, but the cost of this kind of artillery was too high, and the output was small, so he wanted to equip each border town with 180 guns, but this was unrealistic.
"This is natural, a few guns are enough...", Qiu Luan also knew that the number of artillery pieces was small, so Peng Yue was already very happy to agree to transport a few guns to Gansu.
"I don't know if Master Peng has time... Can you take advantage of this opportunity to transport artillery? A trip to Ganzhou? Qiu Luan asked cautiously.
Peng Yue heard Qiu Luan say this. Suddenly stunned. Originally, he wanted to go to Ganzhou for a trip, not for anything else. I just want to take a look at Qiu Qingge, apologize to her face-to-face, and say to her, "I'm sorry, I blamed you wrongly", but how can the grievances and grievances between myself and Qiu Qingge be solved with a word of apology, and how can a sentence of fault be included?
And he originally wanted to see Qiu Qingge in his heart, but he suddenly thought that he was really going to see Qiu Qingge, but he was timid in his heart. Is it because of the guilt of Qiu Qingge that he has no face to see her, or is it because he already has Yan Mengyun at this time. With Gu Wan'er, she must be worthy of them in her heart, and she can no longer do the responsibility she thinks. Or maybe it's because Qiu Qingge has suffered too much, and he doesn't know how to face her and comfort her.
"Master Peng...", Qiu Luan saw Peng Yue standing there in a daze, and he didn't answer, and he was also curious, "Lord Peng." Is there something wrong with you? If there is something, go to Ganzhou in the future ... Yes, too..."
"No... No...", Peng Yue came back to his senses, "I will definitely go to Ganzhou." ”
Peng Yue discovered the impulse in his unconscious heart. It shouted out for itself, yes, it wanted to go to Ganzhou.
"So very good...". Qiu Luan smiled, "The adult and the little girl are old acquaintances. Maybe the little girl wants to meet the adults too. ”
Qiu Luan had no choice but to play this emotional card. Because he wanted Peng Yue to go to Ganzhou too much, he saw that Peng Yue's attitude towards him had always been very good. mistakenly thought that Peng Yue also had the heart to make friends with him. So he wanted to invite Peng Yue to him this time, and take the opportunity to make friends with Peng Yue, so as to help him get promoted to an official position.
"Hmm... When I transported firearms this time, I went with the army...", Peng Yue knew that escaping was not a way, he would always have to face Qiu Qingge, and he had always owed her, as a man, he must definitely make up for this apology.
"That's excellent...", Qiu Luan said overjoyed, he didn't expect Peng Yue to agree so happily.
"My lord, there is one more thing...", Qiu Luan looked at Peng Yue, "Xia Guan just saw that the Lord has always been interested in opening border trade, although Lord Zeng has a lot of opinions on this, but Xia Guan deeply agrees with this..."
"Now the relationship between me and Zeng Mo has actually been separated..."Peng Yue smiled in his heart, "I don't know what Lord Qiu thinks?" ”
"Master Peng, I won't tell you that Xia Guan has a lot of experience in the trade of this city." , Qiu Luan said confidently, "Xiaguan opened two mouths to trade with the Tartars in this Gansu town, and he made a lot of profits." ”
Peng Yue also knew that the imperial court only strictly managed the border market trade of Datong and Xuanfu, and never let go. However, there are many border trade ports in other places, and Gansu is located in the northwest border, so there is no problem in opening one or two small ports, as long as it is a secret, it is good to play up and down. Moreover, the horse market in Ganzhou was established in the Yongle period and has always existed legally, and the imperial court is not very concerned about this.
"I wonder what the situation is?" Peng Yue was also curious about this.
"My border trade port was established in Ganzhou Wei, Taozhou Wei, Hezhou Wei and Minzhou Wei, and the imperial court has always acquiesced to this. I traded not only with Tatar, but also with Spain. I can't help but open an official city and a private city. The Tatars were not good at business, and often sold their horses cheaply in exchange for food and clothing, so they were very profitable. The West is located on the plateau, and the materials are even more scarce, so the shot is more generous. ”
"The key is that their war horses are fat and strong, which is not comparable to our southern border, and it is greatly advantageous to the battle. It is not enough to rely on the war horses exchanged for Liaodong. Moreover, the better pastures in Gansu are all occupied by Tatars, and there is a shortage of war horses. In this way, it is greatly beneficial to the supply of war horses for the army. Moreover, the profits obtained from trade can be used for military spending. The people who do business in the city also have to pay taxes, although the taxes are heavy, but they still make a lot of profits, so they are also extremely willing, and this is a very large income..."Qiu Luan said endlessly.
Peng Yue listened to Qiu Luan's business experience, and couldn't help but feel that it was a pity for Qiu Luan to be a military general, and he should be allowed to do business, no wonder Qiu Qingge was so good at management, it turned out that he inherited his father's talent.
However, Qiu Luan talked for a long time, and he kept talking about the profitability of opening border market trade and how much money he could make, and he didn't think much about the overall situation. Peng Yue naturally didn't believe the nonsense he said about making profits to finance military expenses, and it was estimated that they all went into his own pocket.
"Of course, the biggest advantage is that the Tartars are profitable in the border trade, so they will not attack. My Gansu has far fewer wars than Datong. Qiu Luan said proudly.
"This matter is indeed debatable, and I have to suggest a lot to the emperor." Peng Yue does still have the idea of opening a border market for trade, and in his opinion, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages. You can't be afraid that Tatar will become stronger, so you will give up eating because of choking, as long as you make yourself stronger, wouldn't it be good?
"In that case, I will thank Master Peng on behalf of the border line soldiers here." , Qiu Luan said with a smile.
