Chapter 605: Proportion
If the Beiping Taishou is not done, the plan of the Taran tribe to go to Fengxiang in batches from Port-au-Prince has too many variables. A certain city lord can only smile bitterly at this, the sky has just dawned in the game, and Ah Niu, who has not slept all night, does not say a word, and summons the Black Feather Eagle King to fly directly to Beiping.
This is the third time that Ah Niu has appeared in Beiping in less than ten days.
Taishou Mansion, Gongsun Zhan seemed to have expected a certain city lord to visit again, and he did not show any surprise at all. The matter of the Taran tribe has been spread throughout the country through the guò system announcement, Gongsun Zhan is by no means stupid, and the purpose of Ah Niu's trip has been roughly guessed by Beiping Mansion.
"Hehe, it's finally time for you to ask me!"
Gongsun Chan sneered secretly, but Gongsun Chan also understood that if he didn't allow it, Fengxiang City would inevitably choose another good port. That will bring some trouble to Ah Niu, of course, there are many ports available for use outside Beiping County, whether it is Liu Yu or Gongsun Du, it is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, in that case, the annoyed and angry Fengxiang City Lord is likely to take advantage of the situation to completely abandon Beiping Port-au-Prince, so that Youbeiping will not be able to gain any benefits from Fengxiang's trade activities with the Wuhuan people.
This situation is unacceptable to Gongsun Zhan!
Therefore, Beiping Taishou did not give Feng Xiang too many restrictions on this matter, but just knocked on a bamboo pole with a smile.
"The Taran tribe is one of the three strong clans of Wuhuan, and now they are willing to join Feng Xiang's command, and the city lord of Aniu is worthy of being the first person among the lords. Such a thing as this can greatly enhance the image of our Han Dynasty and boost the confidence of the people of the Han Dynasty, and of course Beiping Mansion will fully support it!
However, the city lord of Aniu must also know that the Wuhuan people of the Talan tribe have just fought a few battles with our Beiping army, and a powerful tribe of more than 30,000 people is stationed more than 100 miles away from Beiping City, and this situation will last for several months.
They stayed in the territory of Youbeiping for one day, and our army's guard did not dare to relax for a day. Not to mention anything else, dispatching soldiers involves a lot of logistical support, a lot of financial expenditure, but Beiping has just experienced a big war, there is no extra material at all, things are a bit difficult to do......"
Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, who is full of regret, seems to be anxious about this matter, and people often inadvertently make some movements when they are in a hurry, such as now, Gongsun Zhan's right hand "inadvertently" made a general gesture.
Ah Niu couldn't help but scold, "Doesn't this guy just want to get some oil and water from it, collect money to buy roads, and what are you doing with those images of the Celestial Empire and the righteousness of the nation." Such a hypocritical guy, why hasn't he been killed by the thunder! ”
In fact, Ah Niu can fully understand Gongsun Zhan's approach, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, who of the princes from all sides is not trying to train troops and prepare food? Whether it is the recruitment of young and middle-aged men, or the purchase of food, grass, and weapons, it requires a lot of money, and in short, financial resources will affect the outcome of the war of this era to a great extent.
Even if they leave Port-au-Prince, even if Liu Yu and Gongsun Du agree to the request to borrow the road, most of them will not be free.
Since entering Youzhou, the Yellow Turban Army of the Fat Dragon Baby has been operating in the northern part of the capital of Youzhou, bordering the territory of other races. This is because the Fat Dragon Baby hopes that once the Yellow Turban Army faces the strict threat of the princes of Youzhou, it can temporarily retreat to the territory of the alien race to avoid its edge, leaving a strategic buffer zone.
There is nothing wrong with this consideration, but it also makes the powerful Yellow Turban Army fail to occupy its own port in Youzhou, and when the fat dragon baby needs to import the big yellow crossbow from Fengxiang City, it can only be done secretly like the underground workers back then.
Feng Xiang was also unable to get help from the Yellow Turban Army for the time being.
Ah Niu is not an indecisive person, the addition of the Taran tribe can greatly improve the strength and influence of Fengxiang City, and it is still acceptable to pay a small price if there is a request for others.
"Gongsun Taishou's words are very reasonable, but in the face of Mr. Lu Zhi, Fengxiang has a good relationship with Beiping, and now Beiping City is facing such difficulties, Ah Niu is willing to give two hundred high-grade Wuhuan war horses as a witness to the friendship between the two families!"
Two hundred Wuhuan war horses, the current market in Youzhou is about one million gold, and one million gold is distributed to more than 30,000 villagers of the Talan tribe, which is equivalent to only paying more than 30 gold per person.
This does not include a large number of war horses, cattle and sheep.
Gongsun Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and after thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Chan euphemistically proposed, hoping that Fengxiang City would add more. Of course, the Taishou of Beiping will never admit that this is out of his own selfish desires, "This is not a robbery while the fire is fired, whether the Beiping army is strong or not is related to the safety of the people of the Han Dynasty who have settled in Youzhou, for the glory of the Han people, is the Lord of Aniu City ......"
A certain city lord laughed, Ah Niu is no stranger to negotiation, isn't it a process of bargaining and constantly seeking balance?
Ten minutes later, Ah Niu, who was full of smiles, walked out of the Taishou Mansion accompanied by Gongsun Zhan, who was also in a happy mood.
After Ah Niu left, Gongsun Zhan proudly told Guan Jing and the others about his gains, "Do you know, Zheng Ah Niu is actually very good at talking, at first he only wanted to take out two hundred war horses, when our Beiping army is called Huazi?"
Under my righteous and strict rebuttal and unremitting struggle, Zheng Aniu deeply realized his mistake, repented, and finally had to agree to send 500 Wuhuan high-grade war horses, we are rich! ”
The excited Gongsun Chan foamed at the mouth, while Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang and others were also very happy.
"Five hundred high-quality war horses? Big brother is wise! ”
"The adults are powerful, the relationship between our Beiping and the Wuhuan and Xianbei people is very tense, and it is very difficult to supplement the high-quality war horses with normal trade methods, with these five hundred war horses, the white horse Yicong also has this spare horse."
Only Guan Jing was a little unimpressed, "My lord, Zheng Aniu threw a war horse worth more than two million gold at once, but in exchange for the safety of the Talan tribe before leaving Youzhou, this transaction is obviously beneficial and harmless to Feng Xiang."
For the sake of safety, it is best for us to send out as many people as possible to bring back the five hundred war horses promised by the city lord of Aniu. ”
Gongsun Chan smiled, "Don't worry about Fengxiang City breaking the promise, Zheng Aniu and I have already signed an agreement just now." Even without this agreement, as long as the Taran tribe is still in Youbeiping, Zheng Aniu will also throw a rat trap, and it is impossible to break his word and get fat. ”
Despite this, Gongsun Chan still said to Gongsun Yue, "You go to Port-au-Prince in two days and bring those war horses back." ”
"Yes, big brother."
Gongsun Zhan stood up and prepared to leave, and said to Guan Jing: "By the way, in the agreement I signed with Zheng Aniu, before all the Taran tribes move to Qingzhou, we can send troops to Port-au-Prince to monitor.
In addition, Feng Xiang gave me 500 war horses in Beiping, and we can't be too petty, and the little food needs they need when they were stranded in Port-au-Prince were supplied by our Beiping army. Anyway, most of them are used to eating beef and mutton, and they can feed them without much food, so you go and prepare first, don't ruin our reputation in Beiping because of poor preparation. ”
After speaking, Gongsun Zan Shi Shi took Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang away, leaving only Guan Jingleng, who was stunned, there.
"How much is a month's worth of food for more than 30,000 people? What about three months? ”
After a while, Guan Jing's face turned pale all of a sudden, "Oh my God, my lord has been deceived!" ”
Guan Jing, who was proficient in internal affairs, quickly calculated, "The value of the grain that those Wuhuan people of the Talan tribe need to consume in three months will be slightly more than the value of five hundred war horses combined." In other words, the Beiping Army is equivalent to exchanging grain for war horses, and there is no profit at all, and it is typical to marry! ”
Guan Jing even thought that a certain city lord generously agreed to put the Taran tribe under the surveillance of the Beiping Army, which could not only dispel Gongsun Zhan's doubts, but also be equivalent to having a group of free bodyguards. Under the dual protection of the Beiping Army and the warriors of the Taran tribe, the safety of the Taran tribe in Port-au-Prince should not be a problem.
"Fengxiang City Lord...... Black, so black! ”
When he reported the situation to Gongsun Zhan, the old man of Beiping Taishou blushed, and then snorted, "Those grains are not very valuable, and if you have money, you may not be able to exchange for those war horses, so let's implement it according to the agreement." ”
Gongsun Chan also wants to save face, although his intestines are repentant, his face still has to collapse.
Guan Jing was heartbroken, but he had no more options, Gongsun Chan and Ah Niu had already signed an agreement, and no one could interrupt the implementation of the agreement unless both parties agreed.
Fortunately, Ah Niu was not too much, and he didn't want the relationship between Fengxiang and Beiping to deteriorate further after this "cooperation", and Ah Niu quickly sent a cavalry from the Flying Wing Battalion and handed over a list to the Taishou Mansion of Beiping.
"My father-in-law said that this is all the food that the Talan tribe needs in Youbeiping, and it will not be increased in the future."
Guan Jing quickly calculated the result, the total amount of grain on the list was worth about one million gold, and the Beiping army could actually net three hundred Wuhuan war horses, one hundred more than Ah Niu's original promise.
"He is worthy of being the city lord of the first city in the world, and he is still very measured in his work." Guan Jing sighed.
(The first more comes out first, continue the code!) (To be continued)
