Chapter 249: White Eats Black

The origin of the last batch of A Furong has not been clarified by Li Yanqing until now. I don't know if it was the liar who put it inside, or if it was Gao Gonggong who brought it inside. It's just that the color of that batch of goods is pure, and the quality can be called the world's first-class. I don't have too much left in my hands, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to sell it to this foreigner.

However, Hua Xixiang heard this, but she took care of it, "Don't worry, as long as Mr. Simang is willing to pay cash, I will guarantee your supply." Believe me, I have the right supply to ensure supply. ”

Li Yanqing didn't know what her idea was, and when Ximang left happily, Hua Xixiang said: "Don't worry, I have found the source of that batch of hibiscus." They are flowing out of Guangxi, and a few people from Guangxi martial arts are frantically looking for buyers. My subordinates have inspected the goods, and the condition is very positive, and we can get ten times the profit with a little processing, why don't you agree? ”

"Guangxi?" Li Yanqing's mind turned, "Did it flow from Wei Yinbao?" ”

"Brother-in-law is right." The fragrance of the flowers is not hidden, "it is flowing from the rebel-controlled area." But if you think about it, the land was barren and there was very little production. The local natives have to find their own way to make some money to grow. They knew that this hibiscus could sell for a good price, and they heard that there were high-ranking people who had instructed them on how to plant it, and the yield was very high. It's just that the color here is not good enough, it seems that Wei Yinbao knows how to purify, and the color of A Furong in his hand can be so good. Although he plundered the county and made a lot of money, the salary of his troops was still a big problem, so he had to sell Ah Furong. ”

It is said that Wei Yinbao was able to occupy a mansion in Guilin. The reason why he pressed the officials and troops in the city and couldn't go out was because he won the hearts of the people. It is convenient to replenish the troops, and there are also people to help him report the news. Once the battle is unfavorable. Ordinary people will take the initiative to help hide his injuries and help him escape.

In comparison, the officers and soldiers are far behind in this regard. When they arrived in the countryside, they were completely blind, and the people either pointed out the wrong way to the officers and soldiers, or took the officers and soldiers around the wrong way. Often a few people will kill Wei Yinbao, which has become a refueling that takes place all the way to the end. Others, simply took the officers and soldiers to the ambush circle set up by Wei Yinbao. Let the officers and soldiers go to their deaths, and the whole army will be wiped out.

It is with the guidance of these people. Although the officers and soldiers had the upper hand in weapons and armor, they lost nine out of ten battles in actual combat, lost their divisions and lost their ground, and now they can only defend the city. Stick to it. If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that you will not even be able to keep the city, and it will really fall.

Wei Yinbao is not three-headed and six-armed, and his method of getting help from the people is very simple, that is, he does not levy taxes. Wherever Wei Ziqi went, the people did not pay taxes. On the contrary, if the people had any difficulties, Wei Yinbao's troops could still solve them with all their might. Not only did they not levy grain, but they also took the initiative to lend grain to the people. Such a force would naturally be supported.

His troops are not heavenly soldiers, and they also need food and salary expenses after all. Those who serve in the army are required to be paid and eat food every day. He didn't want to have too much grudge with Haoqiang. Wherever he went, he rarely attacked the gentry, and he basically did not eat large households. There is no source of income, and it all depends on the income from opening the county seat and plundering the county treasury to supplement the military.

When he first started his army, he not only gathered popularity by relying on this method, but also accumulated a lot of money and food, which was enough for his troops' expenses. But as the tide of war continued. The tenacity of Guilin's defenders was far from his imagination, while Guilin's tall and sturdy city walls. and a large number of defenders, which also made him return home several times in siege.

In the process of attacking and defending Guilin, he infiltrated the city twice and attacked the Jingjiang Palace, but he also made a lot of noise, but he did not get the money he needed, but he broke a lot of people.

The people who died in the war need to be compensated, otherwise the hearts of the people will be scattered. The heroes who came to defect should be given preferential treatment, otherwise they will lose their reputation, and who will defect to Boss Wei. These are all expenses that cannot be saved, and together with the endless needs of the people, his policies that respond to their needs, are all consuming his savings.

The most critical point is the salt blockade in Guangxi. You may go days without food, but you have to eat salt. Without salt, people have no strength, not to mention fighting, and they can't even walk. If he can't get enough salt for his subordinates, the men and horses will mutiny.

The money he plundered from the county treasury was all used to buy high-priced illicit salt. The price of this salt rises several times a day, according to the dealer, this is called pricing according to demand, who let no one else but himself sell salt. The salaries, food, weapons, and salt of his subordinates were difficult for Wei Yinbao to support, so he had to find his own way.

This Ah Furong is considered to be his way out, and he invited a few heroes with great faces in Guangxi to sell this thing to pharmacies in the area controlled by the government in exchange for silver and grain. Guangxi is richer than Guangdong at this time, but its money and food are not abundant, and Afurong's sales are not ideal.

Now that Xiangshan merchants are gathered, it is a rich place in the southeast region, and Wei Yinbao wants to open the road here and sell Ah Furong over. Today, the underworld business in Xiangshan is divided equally by the four families of Hai Kuotian, Hua Xixiang, Hong Qimei, and Liang Ruimin.

In particular, most of Hua Xixiang's subordinates are few of the city fox society, and if she doesn't get through her doorway, whoever steals and buys things will definitely wait to be tied up and sink into the sea.

Hua Xixiang said: "These people are a bit of face in Guangxi Wulin, and two of them are seniors in Wulin. Speaking of my elders, they came out and said that they had more than 40,000 taels of hibiscus in their hands. With these hibiscus, we can exchange them for nearly 200,000 silver when we use them to make medicine. ”

Li Yanqing saw her eyebrows fluttering, and said after a moment of silence: "Sister Hua, this is an enemy." If Wei Yinbao always has supplies, this Guilin City is afraid that it will not be able to withstand it. If even Guilin is broken, I don't think the whole of Guangxi can be saved. ”

"Hmph, of course this is a capital enemy. Selling salt to Wei Yinbao, isn't it an enemy? I interrogated Xie Yunsheng, although her letter was bought, but this thing is true. Yin Zhengmao did send someone to Guangzhou to fetch salt, but she bought the letter. If there is no Yin Zhengmao's face, how can these tens of thousands of taels of A Furong get out of Guangxi. ”

"What does Sister Hua mean, do you want to do this business?"

"What if I want to?" Hua Xixiang's face was as usual, and her eyes were staring at Li Yanqing.

"Then I don't know. I don't want to do this business, but if Sister Hua wants to do it, I can't say anything. ”

Hua Xixiang looked at him for a moment, sighed, and said, "Why bother? You just want to make meritorious contributions to the court in your heart, and there is no need to succumb to you for my business. If I do this, my reputation in the rivers and lakes will be stinky. But so what? Is my reputation for cherishing fragrance good right now? I let it go. Anyway, everyone in the rivers and lakes scolded me for being a slut, and I didn't care about betraying my colleagues. Of course, this business should be done, but not according to their approach. Let's give him a white and black meal! (To be continued)
