Chapter 238: Xuzhou Longxi Mutual Market Treaty
With the gold and silver aided by the Mi family, Chu Tian considered supplementing the war horses of Xiliang Tieqi.
A large and large heavy cavalry is indispensable.
The war horse ridden by Xiliang Tie, Chu Tian gave priority to buying from the great lord of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is far away from Langya Country, so you can only use the teleportation array.
From Langya to Luoyang, a horse costs 10 taels of silver, 10-20 taels of silver to Chang'an and Longxi, and the price is higher when it comes to the Western Regions.
If you use the teleportation array to transport ordinary goods, you will definitely lose all your money.
But using the teleportation array to transport good horses, then it's hard to say.
A good horse can easily buy a good Liangzhou horse with dozens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels of silver, and he will not care about the price of the teleportation array.
Regions that do not have good horseland are so passive, and the lord who occupies the horse land can make huge profits.
In the past, the horse buying was cool in the summer, but this time......
The lord of Liangzhou may not necessarily sell Liangzhou horses to him.
War horses are important strategic resources, and under the premise that Chutian has a high probability of occupying Xuzhou, selling good horses to Chutian will undoubtedly boost Chutian's power.
The trading partner that Chu Tian thought of was Lao Qin, the lord who had been ranked second in the Eastern Han District for the past two or three years.
The first national war was also commanded by Lao Qin.
Old Qin was probably the most strategic lord in Chu Tian's opinion, after all, his life experience was richer than that of Chu Tian, a fledgling lord.
"You might as well try to contact Lao Qin and buy a batch of war horses from him, although his territory is in Guanzhong, he should have a lot of Liangzhou horses in his hands......"
Chutian sent people to contact Lao Qin in order to determine the treaty of commerce.
Li Xiuning came to visit: "Lord Lord, Miss Xia has woken up." When she heard about the purchase of war horses, she thought that she should not sign a treaty with Lao Qin, but should be replaced. ”
"What does she think?"
She thought that the old Qin occupied Guanzhong, which was a rich land, eight thousand miles of Qinchuan was enough to establish a country, and in the future it would be a fierce rival to compete with the lord for the world. Signing a treaty of trade with Lao Qin, our excellent war horses will be provided by him, and if we become enemies in the future, we will be quite passive. ”
"I kind of see what she means."
Chu Tian quickly understood.
The relationship between the first lord and the second lord was delicate, and in case of a conflict with the old Qin and the supply of fine war horses was cut off, it would be difficult for Chutian's high-ranking cavalry to replenish it.
"Take me to her."
For this subordinate, Chu Tian's feelings were very complicated.
As long as there are useful talents, Chutian will collect Xia Cheng, and he has not let go of Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, and the dancers of Luoyang Music Fang.
Improving strength is everything.
However, over time, some people are more comfortable using it.
Hua Mulan was also in the tent in the cool summer, holding a medicine bowl, and when she saw Chutian coming, she quickly got up: "Lord......"
As an independent individual, Mulan also has her own small circle, but her personal friendship with Summer Liang is good.
It was not surprising for Chu Tian to see Mulan here, and he recently added a Li Xiuning.
As one of the three major ministers of Langya State, if he dies in the summer, Chutian will have a lot of things to do.
For example, after taking Xuzhou, Chu Tian had no energy for foreign trade, and Fang Xuanling and Li Kui had limited knowledge of the outside world.
Therefore, Chu Tiancai would feel angry after she was almost killed, and stormed Tancheng for three days.
"We don't trade with Guanzhong, as you can see, where should we trade with the lord?"
As soon as Chu Tian arrived, he directly inquired about the trade in the horse market.
The silver taels of this matter are worth more than 100,000 taels, and the trading partners may become the source of excellent war horses for the Langya Kingdom in the future.
Horses can be raised in Xuzhou, but the quality of the horses is not high, and there is no problem in equipping low-level light cavalry or even ordinary heavy cavalry.
Not with the high-ranking cavalry.
The Xiliang Iron Horse should be equipped with Liangzhou horses.
Seeing that the two were discussing internal affairs, Mulan took the initiative to leave to avoid suspicion.
Xia Liang couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart when he learned that Chutian was asking about official business, but he still replied: "Why don't you consider the lord of Longxi?" The subordinates heard that the lords of Longxi occupy the horse-producing land, and they are the real lords of Liangzhou. And sooner or later, the lord of Longxi will be the enemy of the old Qin, we buy war horses from the lord of Longxi, we get good horses, they get gold and silver, and they will use the gold and silver to recruit troops to deal with the old Qin. This is the so-called plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Lord of Longxi? I have heard of them, they supported Ma Teng to be the leader of the Longxi group, but in fact they controlled everything in Longxi, and they were the soil emperor of Longxi, and Longxi was not known to the outside world because of their rule. ”
Chu Tian hadn't paid much attention to the lords of Longxi before, and only later did he gradually notice the lords of Longxi.
The lords of "Lord" have a variety of ways to develop, and Chutian can be regarded as a normal expansion, climbing up step by step according to the official position of the imperial court.
There were also some lords who found a different way, such as the lord who launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hanzhong, and the lord who supported Yuan Shao in Jizhou and used Yuan Shao's reputation to recruit talent......
The lords of Longxi are a group of strange beings, who have joined forces to rule Longxi County very early on, forming a group of nobles.
In Longxi County, they said the same, suppressed the original family, and replaced them as the soil emperor of Longxi County.
In the entire Eastern Han District, it is estimated that there are few counties that are the same as Longxi County.
Summer Liang continued to add: "We can not only use gold and silver to buy war horses from them, but also barter. We have sea salt, silk, tea, and indigo, which are all resources that Longxi County needs. In this way, each takes what he needs, and we exchange our specialties for war horses, which has the lowest cost. ”
"There is a good reason to say, I will go to deal with the lord of Longxi, and there will be a way to buy war horses in large quantities in the future."
Chu Tian got up, and before leaving, he still said: "Next time, you can't take risks easily, otherwise I won't find a second person who will make money." ”
"The Mi family can take over their subordinates."
"It's different, the Mi family can make money in Xuzhou, but you can make money in the world. After conquering Xuzhou, he began to trade with Jiangdong, Liaodong, Goryeo, and Dongying. ”
Chutian already has a complete plan.
There was no overseas trade before, because the basic plate of Langya was not large enough.
The volume of one Xuzhou is enough.
There are several good ports in Xuzhou, such as Xihai County and Qu County. Mi Zhu of Qu County can be richer by virtue of overseas trade.
Chu Tian left, and Hua Mulan waited outside the tent, acting a little uneasy.
"You take good care of Miss Xia during this time, if the injury worsens, remember to inform me."
Chu Tian saw that Hua Mulan was staying here, so he simply asked her to take care of the summer cold.
Mulan is not proficient in other affairs except for fighting, once something happens to Chutian, maybe she will be protected by the summer cold, and the end will be better.
Di Dao of Longxi County, the lord of Longxi County received Chu Tian's request for mutual trade, and more than forty lords of Longxi were in an uproar in private.
"Chu Zimou, who ranks first, also knows about our group of soil emperors in Longxi County?"
"It is said that he lost a lot of horses in the battle of Xuzhou, and we can make a lot of money."
"It's too much to make a big profit, he knows that the lord who came to our Longxi to buy a good horse must have been weighed. If we ask too hard, he may be able to reach a mutual market agreement with the other Xiliang Lords. ”
"I plan to go to Langya Country in person to discuss the mutual market treaty with it, and our Longxi County just lacks the specialties of the East."
"President, are you sure you want to go to Langya Country in person? What if he detains you? ”
"If he were a visionary, he wouldn't have done anything to me lightly. Our Longxi is far away from Xuzhou, and he also wants me to contain Lao Qin in Guanzhong. ”
After the lords of Longxi discussed, one of them went to Xuzhou on his own.
War horses are one of the specialties of Longxi, and the lords of Longxi can get a lot of income every year by selling horses.
This time, their trade object is the future Xuzhou Mu, and the annual purchase of war horses from Longxi may be thousands, which means that the annual trade volume may reach more than 100,000 taels.
The annual trade of 100,000 taels is enough to move the lords of Longxi.
Xu Fengnian, the representative of the lord of Longxi, took the lead in signing a teleportation array treaty with Chutian to open a teleportation array from Di Dao to Langya City.
Both sides deploy their forces in the teleportation arrays in their respective cities to prevent each other from using teleportation arrays to sneak attack each other.
Secondly, Xu Fengnian used the teleportation array to come to Langya City and personally went to Tancheng to discuss the Xuzhou-Longxi mutual market treaty with Chutian.
The two sides traded valuables that could be exchanged for teleportation arrays, such as war horses, silk, and salt. And bulk materials such as grain, iron ore, and timber are not worth it, because the price of the teleportation array is higher than the value of the array itself.
Chutian also besieged Le Yi below Tancheng, and at the same time he instructed the Langya State to continue to operate and continuously transport troops for the front line. In addition, Xue Rengui led an army of 10,000 people to pacify other counties in the East China Sea.
While besieging the city, attacking other county seats, and capturing the counties of the East China Sea Country one by one, Le Yi will be unable to fly.
"Lord, the lord of Longxi came to ask for a meeting on behalf of Xu Fengnian!"
With the report of the pro-soldiers, Chu Tian personally took Zhao Yun out to meet him.
A young lord turned over and dismounted, and his movements were smooth, and he knew at a glance that he had been fighting on horseback for a long time.
He dismounted with a fierce general, armed with an iron spear, majestic and proud.
"Isn't this the Tiger Prison that is under the mighty Wang Iron Spear?"
Chu Tian was full of praise for Wang Tielan.
Under the Tiger Prison, Wang Tiegun defeated Wen Chou and shocked the heroes of the Kanto region, giving Chu Tian an impression that was even more shocking than Lu Bu.
I didn't expect Wang Tiegun to be under the hands of this Longxi lord.
Wang Tiegun is undoubtedly a fierce general at the level of five tiger generals, and he is brilliant with an iron spear.
Zhao Yun and Wang Tielan looked at each other, and the weapons of the two fierce generals were spears,-for-tat against Mai Mang.
All kinds of weapons, the spear is king!
In Wang Tiegun's eyes, Zhao Yun is qualified to use a spear and is a fierce opponent.
"As soon as I come to Xuzhou, you will be worried about my generals, how do I feel that I am at risk of being detained?"
Xu Fengnian muttered.
He is not the same as Chu Tian.
There are many generals under Chu Tian's command, and Wang Tiegun may not be at the forefront.
But under Xu Fengnian's command, Wang Tiegun is the best general, and there is no one.
"I heard that your lord of Longxi is setting up Ma Teng, do you want Ma Chao to work for you?"
Chu Tian shifted his gaze to Xu Fengnian, a lord who was about the same age as him.
Being young means being impulsive, but daring to fight is also a kind of capital.
"Ma Chao will be able to go into battle in two or three years, and when the time comes, I will have Ma Chao and Wang Tiegun, which will be enough to crisscross Liangzhou and be invincible."
Xu Fengnian saw that his intentions were seen through by Chu Tian, and he did not have the slightest discoloration, but was calm.
Everyone knows that Ma Chao followed Ma Teng and held Ma Teng hostage, and Ma Jiajun would fall into his hands.
"Meng Tian and Meng Wu of Old Qin are not so easy to deal with, and he is older than us."
"So you want our Lord Longxi to help you contain Lao Qin? It's really a good calculation. Not only did you secretly support the Yanzhou lords in besieging Cao Cao, but you also wanted us to contain the second lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”
"We have common interests, that's why we met here. Lao Qin is sitting in Guanzhong, and Dong Zhuo's army is also in Guanzhong, they will not let go of the fat of Liangzhou, and the good life of your landlords in Longxi will not be many years. ”
Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes when he heard Chu Tian say this: "Let's still discuss buying a horse." How many horses do you want to eat? What level? Light cavalry or heavy cavalry? ”
Chu Tian stretched out a finger.
"A hundred?"
"Gold-level heavy cavalry war horses, a total of 1,000."
"Gold, or a thousand horses......"
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the number of war horses Chu Tian wanted.
Chutian wants to form a thousand-person level iron horse in Xuzhou?
Xu Fengnian quoted: "We have the excellent war horse you want in Longxi, a horse of 105 taels of silver, plus 15 taels of silver for the teleportation array from Di Dao to Langya Kingdom, and a thousand good horses are 120,000 taels of silver." ”
"As far as I know, the cost of producing horses in Longxi is much lower than in Guannei. In Longxi Horse Market, such a war horse is only 90 taels of silver, and the cost of the war horse raised by Brother Xu's own horse farm is lower. And I am buying in large quantities, and I will trade with each other in the future, and it is not kind for Brother Xu to do this. ”
Even if Chu Tian gets the support of the Mi family, he will not lose easily.
Even if you save a few hundred taels of silver, it is enough to pay a month's salary for hundreds of soldiers.
"I didn't expect Zimou to tell you even the price of horses in Longxi, it seems that there is someone behind you. We can negotiate the specific price. ”
After some negotiations, Chu Tian and Xu Fengnian finally decided to buy a thousand war horses at a unit price of 85 taels, and deliver them in the next six months.
The first batch of 300 war horses will be delivered to Chu Tian within a month, with one hand to pay the money and the other hand to the horse.
Gold and silver for the purchase of horses could be replaced with equivalent sea salt, silk, and tea.
Xu Fengnian got sea salt, silk, and tea, and sold them in Longxi, and he could make a lot of money, so he was also very supportive of bartering.
The two parties agreed to exchange markets for a long time in the future.
After signing the mutual market treaty, Xu Fengnian said: "I heard that you have a Wenchen here who understands the economy, and it just so happens that we lack such talents in Longxi, so I will exchange it with you for 10,000 taels of silver, how about it?" ”
Chu Tian rolled his eyes: "I used 10,000 taels of silver to buy Wang Tie Gun from you, how about it?" ”
