Chapter 1307: The Eunuch Merchant
It's just that the result is the same as the previous times, after throwing hundreds of corpses of people and horses around the cart caravan, he can only retreat helplessly, and then delay here, and the cavalry that are good with Wang Ziyang's caravan will come to the rescue.
After such a big encounter, the forces on the grassland dare not do it, and no one wants to hurt their own vitality for the sake of money, you must know that there are no rules on this grassland, you are strong and you eat meat, you are weak and eaten by others, stealing chickens is not a loss and rice is one thing, even their own status and strength are put into it, so why bother.
And after this time, someone in Xuzhou came to Datong and Shanxi, and no one paid attention to it at first, knowing that you were difficult to provoke, but you can still reach out to Shanxi in Nanzhili? After the first meeting, Shanxi and Datong immediately reacted, and several wealthy businessmen were charged with colluding with the Tartars and sent to prison to raid their homes.
When the battle in Jinghai County, Beizhili was fought, Wang Ziyang's caravan status rose sharply, not to mention that it was a caravan transit, it was simply a Qincha entering Shanxi, and the civil and military generals had to be polite, and the cheeky ones would be convenient, and the cheeky ones would go up directly to flatter.
Around this time, Wang Ziyang did not take advantage of this to expand, but knew how to do it better than before, in the past, this soju business was almost his family's food, but now it is distributed to each family to do, and the price also allows everyone to make money, at this time Xuzhou soju is not only to make money, but also to sell other goods with the Mongolian ministry, who has to prepare a little in his hand.
Shanxi businessmen have admired Wang Ziyang a little, this is the real big business routine, to now, his family trekked thousands of miles to send all kinds of goods into the grassland, although the profits are huge, but not as much as the profits of wholesale distribution, now Wang Ziyang directly in Shanxi and Henan junction shipments, because the distance is close, he can send more goods, do not have to worry about the risk of transportation, but also run a few more times, so that both sides are mutually beneficial, are happy.
Wang Ziyang has already made such an attitude, those Xu favors are also to be sold, for example, Wang Ziyang arranged for the children of Xuzhou to go to various businesses to help do things, then everyone must give a face to accept, and there are also those who are wary and unwilling to arrange, and then they will not be able to get wine, so that no one knows how to do it, fortunately, these young children in Xuzhou are very honest and diligent, not to inquire about the news, etc., but to work diligently, and it is not a loss to be hired.
Distribution belongs to distribution, some businesses still have to be run by Wang Ziyang himself, such as buying horses on the grassland, and more importantly, buying people, grassland men who can ride good shots, from eleven to thirty years old, Wang Ziyang is needed here, and he must be personally selected, everyone also knows that Xuzhou needs it, and they try to help with this, and the bigwigs in the border towns behind each family are naturally also helping.
So tossed down, it didn't take long for Datong to go to Guihua City and Hetao's business road, east to west, everyone brought soju, there were more caravans with shochu, and there were more places to run, the grassland is so vast, I don't know how many places have not tasted this Hanjing famous wine, with the Mongolian temperament, that is to drink a sip will like, the reputation and temptation of Xuzhou soju are spreading more and more widely in the grassland.
Among these caravans, the caravan of the Sun family in Daizhou, Shanxi Province is relatively special, everyone is doing business and making a fortune, and then spending money to donate a position to glorify the ancestors, this Sun family caravan is to put a good Beijing official not to do, to go to the mouth to run what business, this Sun family four generations in the move, this generation is the title of the gold list in the Jinshi, has long been a rich family, sitting on the ground to make a fortune is not satisfied, but also to come out to do business, this is really not satisfied, the Sun family, Sun Chuanting everyone said that it is a rare talent, now it is a loser.
Sun Chuanting's business is also strange, his own goods are a group, and then the caravan of Daizhou and Taiyuan Zuo who are familiar with each other is gathered together, guarded by his family, and everyone goes out of the fortress together, to say that this grassland is full of gold, as long as you can go out with the goods, and then come back well, it is difficult to make money, it is difficult to make money on the grassland, and the climate is changeable, and there are horse thieves and horse thieves who pretend to be evil, in case of bad luck, don't say that you can't get rich, even your life will be thrown here, Sun Chuanting probably thought of this so he did this.
But how much money does it cost to do this, and what else can be made after a trip, isn't this a wedding dress for others? But the Sun family is rich and powerful, and it is the first-class family in the local area, and it is also counted in Taiyuan and Datong, he wants to do this, others really can't stop him, calculating that this team has been out for more than a month, it should be on the way back, and the good wealth is not to enjoy, but to go out to drink the wind, what do you think, the mind of the reader, it is really incomprehensible.
As everyone expected, the Sun family caravan was marching to the Datong border pass, they went to a water grass nest on the north side of the Xiashui Sea, and on the return trip, they cleared all the goods in the Xiashui Sea, and this time the harvest was really not small.
Counting the size of the Sun family's own caravans, there are a total of six, the least is only seven carts, fifteen camels, the largest one is the Yanbeixing outside Taiyuan City, thirty-six carts, one hundred and fifty camels, and the total number of guards is 200 people, but the Sun family who initiated this joint venture out of the fortress does not have so many carts of livestock, fifteen carts, and forty camels.
What surprised everyone was that the Sun family's caravan did not have many goods, but there were more than 700 people, all of whom were strong men, and more than 100 of them were horsebacks.
If it weren't for the fact that Yanbeixing has been paying attention to integrity for more than 100 years, the Sun family has a particularly good reputation in the local area, and Sun Chuanting himself also went out with everyone, everyone would be worried about whether this is a bureau, whether it is out of the border to stew everyone in a spoonful, and the carriages and horses are a lot of money, but the men in the second room of the Sun family's house have all gone to various commercial houses as guests, and the hostages have been released, what else is there to worry about, but this makes everyone have a second weirdness, that is, to do business, why bother to be so loud and thoughtful.
Along the way, this overnight accommodation, you have to listen to the arrangement of the Sun family, no matter what you think in your heart, at this time, you have to listen if you don't listen, the more than 700 fighting men in the other party's hands are not a joke, fortunately, these people in the Sun family do things in a very orderly manner, set up camp, ground guards, and marching escorts, all of which are not leaky, but let everyone save a lot of thought.
On the one hand, it is necessary to please the nobles below, on the other hand, to appease the herdsmen and Han people, and then to sell the various specialties of the naturalization city in exchange for the urgently needed materials, so the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are not as harsh as before, when they are used, they are supplied, and when they are not used, they kill pigs, so that there are many benefits, the west and north of the grassland and even the east of the feud, all the sweat tents and tribes have gathered, and the small tribes come directly here to graze, The big tribes and big forces sent their own caravans to make this side prosperous.
There are many tribes, many herdsmen, many caravans, the goods are naturally easy to sell, they are sold at the right price, and then buy the right goods, as long as they can go back, they can make a fortune, in addition to the wild goose north, the other few are staring at the goods of the Sun family, and found that their carts and camels are accompanied by the provisions of the entourage, and when it comes to trade, only two carts are loaded with goods, although the goods are all good medicinal materials, this can be sold at sky-high prices on the grassland, but after all, there are only two cars, no matter how high the profit is, It's not enough for this trip.
And the Sun family sold these, but also bought horses, and recruited more than 100 Mongolian herdsmen who were willing to work hard, this back and forth conversion, there is no profit at all, this trip is very expensive, the two old caravan stewards also went to Yanbei as the shopkeeper to discuss, saying that this time back, can everyone share some money, how can not let the Sun family lose too much this time, after all, the guards helped, and everyone still got a lot of benefits along the way.
The shopkeeper of the wild goose northbound just laughed, so that everyone didn't have to worry too much, and when it came to this, everyone could only go back sullenly, thinking that this wild goose northbound could get to this point today, the four generations of the Sun family can make a lot of efforts, why is it so cool, it is really unpredictable!
It has been more than 100 miles away from the sea of water here, standing on horseback and looking around, you can only see green grass in your field of vision, and you can't see anything else, only some people are popular on the business road that the caravan stepped on, Sun Chuanting rode a horse and galloped between the teams, and in the front and back of the entire team, the Sun family's horseback guards ran back and forth, and kept reporting something to Sun Chuanting.
"The old grandson's scholarly family, how can this generation come up with a martial artist"
"You are talking nonsense, his ancestors have been lifting people for three generations, and he is a Jinshi with the title of the gold list, which is much higher, how can he be a martial artist"
"Is it true that you say this, you look at him like that, he looks like a reading master?"
Sun Chuanting was wearing chain mail, dressed like a horse guard, a six-foot halberd in the style of Xuzhou hung on the saddle, plus this tall figure, with a resolute expression, no matter how you look at it, he rode around the team, and kept shouting orders, now the guards and guys of the caravan know that it is Master Sun who is in charge, and they are all convinced to listen, this night camp, Master Sun is busy with everyone, who has ever seen such a big man?
Some of the Mongolian herdsmen who were recruited were armed with horses, but they could only walk in the caravan, helping to push the carts from time to time, digging earth and mats in front of them, and they were busy.
