Chapter 37 Shortage of Food and Grass
On the morning of the second day, the messenger finally returned, and when he heard that the general had invited Yu Gongzi to be a guest, he took the person to the Northern Yuan camp. The leader arranged for the others to rest outside, and let Xu Miaoyun go in to see the general, and Xu Miaoyun took Zhu Di into the military tent of Thorin Timur.
"The grass people meet the general." Xu Miaoyun held her hand and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant. Zhu Di followed behind and bowed his head slightly, but did not speak.
Thorin Temur looked up at Xu Miaoyun, Lanzhi Yushu, handsome and graceful, it is indeed the same as the rumors, if you can get acquainted with such a person, with him providing your own food and grass, are you afraid that you will not be able to win the war? Then he looked at the guards who followed behind Xu Miaoyun, tall and tough, and at a glance he knew that he was a hidden master, Yu Gongzi could have such a person as his subordinate, his strength and ability must be good, and he thought about it, without strength, how could he do this business all over the world. After thinking about it so far, I feel that I must make friends with Yu Gongzi, and if it happens, it will definitely be a big help.
Thorin Timur's heart turned a thousand times, and the smile on his face gradually deepened, "It's better to be famous than to meet, Yu Gongzi is really a dragon and phoenix, and he will be lucky." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Yu Gongzi's hand.
Xu Miaoyun hurriedly took the opportunity to stand up and put down his hand, "The general praised it falsely, and the grass people didn't dare to be ashamed." ”
Seeing Xu Miaoyun dodge, Thorin Temur was not annoyed, and smiled, "Young Master Yu, you have come from afar, please take a seat." Then he ordered the maid to serve tea.
"I heard that Yu Gongzi came this time, he wants to do some business, I don't know what to do?" Thorin Temur didn't beat around the bush either, and went straight in.
"It's true, the grass people heard that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the northwest region, coupled with the recent wars, the supply of medicinal materials exceeds the demand, I really can't bear to let the people starve, and I heard that there is a surplus of fur in the north, so I want to do something good for the people." Xu Miaoyun smiled shamelessly.
Thorin Temur listened to Xu Miaoyun's words, and couldn't help but slander, sure enough, there is no business or treachery, this jade boy looks personable, but he is also a vulgar person with a copper smell, obviously he wants to take the opportunity to make an ill-gotten fortune, sell this grain and grass at a high price, buy fur at a low price, and then sell it to a rich and noble family at a high price, and it has become a good deed for the people in his mouth? That's fine, since Yu Gongzi is greedy for money, it will be better to control. It's just that I don't know how much he will offer for this grain and grass?
"Oh? Yu Gongzi is really a bodhisattva, I don't know where Yu Gongzi plans to sell this grain and grass? ”
Xu Miaoyun sighed and said at a loss: "It's not a secret, the grass people originally planned to go to Liangzhou, but now, there is no need for grain and grass in Liangzhou City. Moreover, although the two countries did not restrict trade, where are there still merchants in this Liangzhou city, so I pulled grain and grass into the Qilian Mountains. It's just that...... The exact location of the sale has not yet been determined. The general is familiar with the situation, I don't know if he has a high opinion? ”
When Thorin Temur heard this, he was overjoyed, but he pretended to be entangled: "This ...... I'm not afraid to tell Brother Yu the truth, in my northwest land, there has always been a shortage of grain and grass, and most of the people make a living from hunting, although this grain and grass are scarce, but ordinary people are afraid that they can't afford it......"
After speaking, he also glanced at Xu Miaoyun worriedly. Even the name has changed, as if he is really worried about his brother.
"What the general said is very true, the grass people really lack consideration." After saying this, Xu Miaoyun got up the tea and stopped talking, as if he was in deep thought.
After drinking the two cups of tea, he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Thorin Timur with a smile: "I don't know if the general's army still needs grain and grass?" ”
Thorin Temur saw that Xu Miaoyun had taken the bait, and he was overjoyed, but his face was hesitant.
"If the general has something to say, might as well say it directly?"
"Brother Yu is really refreshing! Okay, then I'll just say it, to be honest, although the food and grass in my army are not particularly abundant, it is basically enough, at least enough for my army for a year. At that time, I believe that this battle will have already been fought. However, Brother Yu and I hit it off at first sight, and I had the heart to make friends with Brother Yu and was willing to buy this batch of grain and grass. ”
"General, is this true?" Xu Miaoyun looked delighted.
"Really. However, Brother Yu, you also know that the army has a huge cost, and this wealth is limited, so I am afraid that I can't give Brother Yu a high price......" Thorin Temur said curtly, with an embarrassed expression.
When Xu Miaoyun heard this, the smile on her face slowly became stiff.
When Thorin Timur saw Xu Miaoyun's expression, he snorted coldly in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't push people too hard, so he said: "That's it, Brother Yu is tired of traveling and driving, and it's not too early today, Brother Yu will rest first and think slowly." ”
"In this way, there is General Law." Xu Miaoyun nodded, then clasped her fists and saluted, and then retreated with Zhu Di.
