Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Lu family is really finished!
Lu Fuyou made a big mistake, he made the Chahar people the Tumuts, and of course they had to take risks when they did business with robbers.
"Do you know how much a Chahar horse sells for?"
Zhai Tang stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty taels of silver!" And it's all old and weak! ”
The Ming Dynasty only had a war in a corner of Liaodong, and the demand for war horses was not large, and only particularly high-quality war horses could be sold for thirty-five taels of silver. If the old and weak horses can only be used to pull carts and carry goods, it will be around ten taels of silver. These are still referring to the price of horses in Xuanfu.
"The Chahar people are slaughtering Daming as a fat sheep!" Zhai Zhe was a little angry.
Zhai Tang stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Lu Fuyou is a cocoon to bind himself, and the horse market rewarded by the city is as little as two or three thousand, and as many as five thousand!" The Lu family is not far from bankruptcy! ”
Zhai Zhe sighed in his heart, Lin Dan Khan did this, who else would dare to do business with him in the future. Bullying and greedy for cheapness eventually cut off the wealth of the Chahar tribe.
"Does the court care? Why did the Lu family do such a city reward? ”
Zhai Tang sneered and said, "Do you think the officials of the imperial court are good people?" Lu Fuyou won this city prize and spent at least 10,000 taels of silver. But now I want to regret it, but I can't help him. Da Ming and the Chahar people rewarded such a big thing, if he was allowed to do it badly, the prince would pinch him to death like pinching an ant to death. ”
"If the city reward can't satisfy the Chahar people and summons the Mongol army of Koubian, I'm afraid even the prince can't afford it!"
Zhai Tang was particularly excited tonight, changing his habit of speaking cautiously on weekdays. Zhai Zhe felt that what he said this night could catch up with the usual seven or eight days.
"We don't have to go back to Xuanzhen!" Zhai Zhe stretched out his hands and pressed his temples, his brain hurt a little in the past few days, and he didn't come up with any good way, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around.
"No need to go back! Those people brought by Xiao Zhiyan don't have to be handed over to the Jurchens! Zhai Tang didn't want to hand over all the power in his hands.
It wasn't until noon that Zhai Zhe came out of the study, feeling a lot more relaxed, but not as excited as his brother.
The news of Jizi was really fast, and two or three days later, even the beggar begging on the street corner looked at the closed door of the Lu family's business, and his eyes were full of sympathy.
I heard that Lu Fuyou was looking for Wang Kun to find a way, but it obviously had no effect, because the cavalry of Xuanfu rushed to Zhangjiakou and captured Lu Fuyou's two sons. Now almost all the businesses are far away from the Lu family, so as not to get into trouble.
Several officials in the Xuan Mansion followed Lu Fuyou almost all day long, urging him to buy a market reward, half of the guards of the firm had fled, and most of the guys had been apprentices of the Lu family since childhood, and they were still intact.
Zhai Zhe once met Lu Fuyou on the street, and within a few days, his head turned gray and his face was haggard.
I heard that Lin Dan Khan's initial asking price was to reward 5,000 horses, and I am afraid that this deficit will not be able to make up for the Lu family. The two sides bargained, and the battle of Guihua City was imminent, Lin Dan Khan was unwilling to delay it for too long, and finally sold the deal with the number of 2,500 horses rewarded by Daming City.
With so many horses entering the market, it will inevitably suppress the price of horses in Xuanfu, not to mention losing money, it is difficult for Lu Fuyou to even get rid of it.
Generations of savings, once in deficit.
In the second year of Chongzhen, it was really an eventful time, and the news in the collection became more and more exciting.
In the end, it turned out to be Fan Yongdou, the owner of Da Shengkui, who finally came forward to help Lu Fuyou, and invested in the acquisition of several businesses, restaurants and other properties in the middle of Zhangjiakou Market Town, and purchased 200 inferior horses at market prices.
Although it is also taking advantage of the danger of others, anyone who can stretch out his hand at this time can make Lu Fuyou shed tears.
Zhangjiakou Center\u
1ooo
The change of ownership of the 8857 industry officially announced the change of the owner of this set. Here is finally the era of Fan Yongdou. Zhangjiakou is now dominated by eight firms, and the rest of the firms have to live under their fingers, and that's the benefit of taking risks.
"Fan Yongdou has finally got his wish!"
From the moment he tasted tea last time, Zhai Zhe knew Fan Yongdou's thoughts, and it was probably his dream to dominate Dongkou.
Duoyan's horse thief was temporarily out of the crisis, but Zhai Zhe's sense of urgency had become stronger, and from the moment Fan Yongdou asked him to hand over Xiao Zhiyan and Meng Kang to Eruzhuo, he had already made up his mind to get rid of the family and survive.
At the beginning of May, more and more people entered Zhangjiakou from the grasslands, not Mongolian tribes who came to buy, but herders who had fled.
The great battle between the Chahars and the Tumuts broke out!
Zhai Zhe has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He immediately left Jizi and rushed to the old camp in the valley, and led Xiao Zhiyan and more than 100 horse thieves to Zhangba Grassland to openly recruit subordinates.
"The shepherd slaves of the Tumuts, skilled in bows and horses, can join us, at least they will not let you starve to death on the steppe!" The horse thieves are spreading the word.
Zhai Zhe only recruited Han Chinese, those herdsmen of the Tumut tribe who had no way out, and he did not want Mongols.
Not many people can escape to Zhangjiakou, after all, this is the rear of the Chahar people. From the recruited herdsmen, Zhai Zhe learned that most of them were hiding in the mountains outside Datong Town and Kill Hukou, from where many people fled into Daming.
"We can only recruit three hundred!" Seeing that Xiao Zhiyan had accepted seventy or eighty people in one day, Zhai Zhe was a little anxious.
Xiao Zhiyan said seriously: "They can all become very good horse thieves, much better than those in the cottage!" ”
"I can't afford to support them, I'm almost out of five hundred people, and the business won't give us grain and grass for nothing!"
"We can go and rob!"
Zhai Zhe couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Who are you robbing?" Robbing one's own business? ”
From the second day, Xiao Zhiyan's recruitment requirements were immediately much stricter, and the riding skills were not \u75

28 The shepherd slaves were very proficient, and the body and the bow and arrow were the most basic requirements, and the younger the better.
The Chahar army pressed westward, and the Zhangba grassland was left unattended. Xiao Zhiyan was busy there, and Fan Yongdou couldn't tolerate the sudden influx of so many beggars in Zhangjiakou, so he found the garrison of Zhangjiabao and began to expel the refugees who fled into Jizi. The herdsmen lost their livestock and could not find a place to return, so they could only try their best to cross the border and escape into the Ming Dynasty.
In half a month, after recruiting 300 newcomers, Zhai Zhe led his troops to leave the Zhangba Grassland and return to the Duoyan Grassland.
The valley can no longer accommodate these people, Zhai Zhe had to build a new earthen house, Xiao Zhiyan pointed to the busy newcomer with a proud face and said: "Most of these people have never killed anyone, but they can hunt!" ”
"So what, the difference between hunting and killing is not small!" Zhai Zhe remembered the scene of his first murder.
Xiao Zhiyan said solemnly: "Hunting is marching!" Genghis Khan, the hero of the Mongols, trained his cavalry by hunting! ”
"They're not armies, they're just horse thieves!"
"I'm going to turn horse thieves into an army!" Xiao Zhiyan rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was ready to do a big job.
Zhai Zhe laughed a few times and said, "You have to let them learn to steal horses and sheep first!" Or they're all starving to death here! ”
Zhai Zhe is not a joke, since June, he has doubled the grain and grass requested by the firm. The shopkeeper didn't dare to call the shots, so he went to ask Zhai Tang.
Zhai Tang immediately recalled Zhai Zhe.
Zhai Zhezheng and Xiao Zhiyan were busy training newcomers in the Duoyan Grassland, trying to train them into qualified horse thieves, and when they received the news from the eldest brother, they knew that the shape was not good, and hurried back.
In the study, Zhai Tang was angry when he saw Zhai Zhe.
"Why did you recruit so many horse thieves?"
"Keep the caravan safe!" Zhai Zheyi is speaking.
"You think it's a war! With Eruzhuo, it's enough for some of you to be informed! ”
"But!"
"No, eight businesses can only supply you with food and grass for a maximum of two hundred people!" Zhai Tang lowered his face. Zhai Zhe's expansion made Fan Yongdou and others very dissatisfied, this horse thief was under the command of Zhai Zhe, but in their eyes, it belonged to the eight merchants, and the supply had always been provided by the eight companies. Zhai Zhe's unnecessary expansion made Fan Yongdou have a trace of suspicion, he was still not sure whether this was the Zhai family's plan or Zhai Zhe's own behavior, he had only taken office as the president of the Zhangjiakou Merchant Guild, but he didn't want to be pushed down immediately.
Walking out of his brother's study, Zhai Zhe was out of options, it seemed that he was really going to steal horses and sheep, and the Chahar tribe left behind in the Duoyan Grassland was now a soft persimmon.
