When Hu Guang heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately interrupted Kang Quanan and said, "But military supplies? ”

Kang Quanan couldn't help but be stunned, then came back to his senses, and immediately replied: "When the master said this, it is indeed considered military supplies, grain, iron and products, salt, cloth and cotton, etc., these are all things purchased by these eight masters. ”

Hu Guang couldn't speak, and anger appeared on his face. You don't have to guess to know that Jianyu must be preparing to make a detour to the Mongolian steppe to attack the land of Gyeonggi. The first thing to consider on a large army expedition is logistics. Even if they can fight, before they enter the customs, they can fight and rob again, and there is no place to fight or rob.

Although he had already told Xu Guangqi that as long as he united with Sun Chengzong, the imperial court should be on guard. If you can destroy the capital of these traitors, so that the Jianyu army is not well prepared for food and grass, maybe you can reach out from the side to save the people of Gyeonggi.

Hu Guang thought so, but he didn't think that Xu Guangqi or Sun Chengzong were not big figures who could make decisions in the DPRK and China at present. He just thought that if he destroyed it himself, it would be to add double insurance.

After thinking for a while, he asked Kang Quanan again: "Do you know how long their acquisition lasts?" ”

According to the time of acquisition, it can be deduced at what point in time these traitors will transport materials out of the customs, if it is in time, the army that the eldest brother came to meet will just arrive, and if it is not good, he will be robbed, not only can destroy the logistics of Jianyu, but also strengthen the strength of the heavenly army, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, Kang Quanan shook his head and replied: "They have been buying these things, but the price has suddenly increased, and merchants from all walks of life are afraid that the price will fall, so they are in a hurry." As for when the price will come back, it is still unknown. ”

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this, but he immediately had an idea. He immediately ordered: "They have collected so many materials, it is definitely impossible for people to transport them out of the customs without anyone knowing!" Starting tomorrow, we're going to walk around and keep an eye on their warehouses and the goods. ”

Kang Quanan nodded habitually, but immediately looked a little hesitant. looked at Hu Guang's face, and still admonished: "Master, we have few people, this is other people's territory, do you want to get out of the customs safely first?" ”

His main duty is to protect Hu Guang. When he came before, Hu Guangdu had already instructed him to keep a low profile after arriving in Zhangjiakou and not ask for anything else. Just keep a low profile. As soon as the answering people arrived, they left immediately.

But at this time, Hu Guang suddenly changed his mind and wanted to investigate other people's big businesses. More importantly, this also involves military supplies, which is even more dangerous.

Because of this, he had to remind Hu Guang. If the chief had the idea of fighting these materials, then he would rather not have them, after all, there are more of them. Nor is the security of the chief important.

When Hu Guang heard what he said, he naturally knew his thoughts. immediately smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I know the severity." If I can do something, I will not be reluctant. ”

After all, it's just an extra layer of insurance on your side, and it's best if you have it, and forget it if you don't.

Kang Quanan listened to it and wanted to persuade him again. It's best not to even try it.

When Hu Guang saw this, his face was slightly serious, and his tone became resolute: "Nine out of ten of these materials are to be transported to the Jianguo side of Liaodong for the Jianguo to launch the war. If it is possible, borrowing these supplies can kill two birds with one stone. I have decided on this matter. No need to persuade anymore. ”

Seeing that he was so resolute, Kang Quanan had no choice but to agree. However, he still asked suspiciously: "So many materials were transported out of the customs, and they were still for Liaodong Jianjiao, aren't they afraid of the imperial court chasing them?" ”

"Hmph, it is estimated that the officials concerned have been bribed by them. As long as there is money to take, who cares! Hu Guangwei said angrily.

When Li Dingguo on the side heard this, his eyes lit up, and he interjected: "Then if that's the case, we can also pay to buy supplies here?" ”

Kang Quanan just wanted to express his opinion angrily, but as soon as he heard Li Dingguo's words, he immediately turned his anger into joy and suggested to Hu Guang: "Yes, master, why don't we also pay for it?" ”

If it can be realized, the days of being called the Heavenly Army will be much better in the future. After all, if a lot of materials are to be carried out by the Heavenly Army itself, the price will be great. Grain alone is very limited to the development of the so-called Heavenly Army, and with this additional income, it is estimated that it can greatly ease the grain consumption in the base areas.

Hu Guang was silent, just reached out to hold the teacup, drinking tea and thinking about things.

Kang Quanan and Li Dingguo both knew that the chief was measuring, so they didn't dare to bother, just waited silently.

After a while, under the expectant gaze of Kang Quanan and Li Dingguo, Hu Guang shook his head slowly, making the two of them dumbfounded.

By all accounts, it's a worthwhile deal. Anyway, the gold, silver and jewelry called the Heavenly Army can't be spent, so wouldn't it be nice to exchange them for the materials needed for the base area?

Hu Guang made a decision in his heart, looked at Li Dingguo, and then looked at Kang Quanan, and said slowly in a low voice: "The foreign trade here is almost monopolized by the eight major families headed by Fan Yongdou. The people in the government are afraid that they are all in the same group. At present, their big customer is Liaodong Jianyu. I ask you ......"

When Li Dingguo and Kang Quanan heard this, they refreshed themselves and prepared to listen to some questions.

"Compared with Liaodong Jianyu, who is bigger?"

"Jianyu." Li Dingguo and Kang Quanan glanced at each other, and Kang Quanan answered this common sense question.

Hu Guang then asked the second question: "Then you say, can the goods of the eight Jin merchants, with the strength of Liaodong Jianyu, be able to eat and still not be satisfied?" ”

"Of course, the more of these materials, the better." Kang Quanan replied. Liaodong is also a cold place, so naturally I am not afraid of too many of these materials.

Hu Guang nodded, and said a conclusion: "That's it, these eight Jin merchants can't supply Liaodong Jianyu, do they still have the ability to supply us again?" ”

Hearing this conclusion, Kang Quanan argued a little unconvinced: "If you can sell two, it's better than one, right?" ”

In general, it does. There are multiple buyers, and you can also raise the price and earn more.

But Hu Guang shook his head and replied to him: "But Liaodong Jianyu is a big patron who speaks with a knife. For now, they are stronger than what we call the Celestial Army. The Eight Great Jin Merchants will not risk offending the big customers who have been cooperating with us for the sake of calling us the Heavenly Army. You must know that they have established a relationship with Jianyu who is far away in Liaodong, and it definitely took them a lot of thought and cost, and they will not give up easily. ”

At this point, Kang Quanan also admitted that Liaodong Jianyu is relatively a big thick leg, which is not comparable to the current Heavenly Army. But even so, it's okay to give it a try, and even if the business doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

He was about to say this, but he saw Hu Guang say it again with a calm face. (To be continued.) )
