Chapter 128: The Question of Prisoner Placement

Tong Kan smiled and shook his head: "It is also common for our soldiers to march in the middle of the night and be stationed in the field, Erlong Mountain and Fengxiang Mansion are not on the same path, so we will not go, Tong has thanked Captain Qin for his kindness." ”

A few people came out of the room, and Qin Zhen suddenly asked, "We have an acquaintance of Tong Xiaowei here, I wonder if Tong Xiaowei wants to take him back to Fengxiang with him?" ”

Tong Kan pondered for a moment, and said meaningfully: "No need, it's not easy to deal with me when I take him back to Fengxiang, he entered Longshan alone, whether he is dead or alive depends on his creation." ”

"The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever!" Tong Kan said goodbye, turned on his horse, and headed towards Fengxiang Mansion with a hundred sergeants and fifty newly acquired war horses, and soon disappeared into the night.

Not long after Tong Kan left the house, Zhao Feihu and Liu Sheng returned.

"Captain Qin, we searched for a total of 830 taels of silver, 45 quintals of grain, a number of antique utensils, and we brought back silver and antique utensils, but we can't transport the grain for the time being, so we have left someone to guard it, and we will find a way to transport these grains and other useful things over tomorrow. This is a detailed list we have listed, please take a look at it by Captain Qin. Liu Sheng took out a list and handed it to Qin Zhen.

After Qin Zhen finished reading it, he handed the list to Meng Xuan again, and Meng Xuan said with a smile while looking at it: "This is the unexpected joy, I didn't expect that we would sell war horses all the way and sweep the two bandit nests, and the benefits we obtained were much higher than selling these war horses." ”

Zhao Feihu agreed very much: "Yes, this Fengxiang is in good condition, even the bandits who are hundreds of miles away from Fengxiang are richer than our Weizhou Zhechong Mansion." Alas, it's a pity that those fifty war horses, I already knew why we sold war horses, and came directly to Longshan to suppress bandits. ”

Liu Sheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Feihu: "What a pity, if it weren't for the opportunity of the war horse trade, would we be able to come to Longshan, which is thousands of miles away?" Can you meet a bandit who is so good at giving money? ”

Qin Zhen smiled: "Anyway, it's a good thing that we got so much money for nothing." ”

Seeing that Liu Sheng and Zhao Feihu were back, Qin Zhen and Meng Xuan called the four team members and Chen Luosheng to discuss the next things together.

"Although there are some twists and turns in the transaction with the war horse of Fengxiang Mansion, but fortunately, this matter has finally come to a smooth conclusion, now let's discuss the next matter with Zhang Yuhai, Luosheng, you can introduce it to everyone." Qin Zhen opened with a clear meaning.

"Captain, deputy lieutenant, team, my side has initially reached a willingness to cooperate with Zhang Yuhai, for the goods we need, Zhang Yuhai's side has also been prepared, but Zhang Yuhai, the old boy, is also cunning, unwilling to enter Longshan, and finally after we discussed, we decided to put the trading point in Kipshi Town at the foot of Longshan." Chen Luosheng said in a deep voice.

Qin Zhen sighed: "Zhang Yuhai is a businessman, it is understandable that he is reluctant to enter Longshan, after all, we are begging others now." But Luosheng, what is the security situation in the town of Kip Shi you are talking about? ”

Chen Luosheng said with a smile: "Please rest assured, although Kipshi Town is a town, it can be compared to most of Weizhou in terms of population and prosperity, and the public security is also quite good, because it is close to Longshan, the geographical location is unique, and Kipshi Town is also guarded by garrisons, and the public security is still very good." Zhang Yuhai originally had a trading house in Kip Shi Town, and now that he has business dealings with us, he will also expand the scale of the business house there, coupled with the inextricable relationship between Zhang Yuhai and Fengxiang Mansion, I don't think there is a problem in Kip Shi Town as a place for us to have a long-term transaction with Zhang Yuhai. ”

Qin Zhen nodded: "In this case, in order to facilitate our future operations, then we will also set up a commercial bank in this Kipshi Town, and we will set up a commercial bank in Fengxiang in the future." In addition, we can't put all our eggs in Zhang Yuhai's basket, so as not to be controlled by others all the time, and we have to gradually contact more businessmen in the future to gradually expand our business network. ”

Chen Luosheng also nodded and said: "What the captain is worried about is exactly what I thought, when our Flying Eagle Firm is stable in Fengxiang, we will gradually contact more merchants to supply us." ”

As he spoke, Chen Luosheng looked embarrassed: "It's just that this manpower is really a little nervous, we Weizhou has not been able to trade for many years, and there is indeed a lack of talent in business. ”

Zhao Feihu and Chen Luosheng are more familiar with each other, and when they heard that they didn't understand, they were stunned and asked: "I said Luosheng, is it so difficult to be a steward in a commercial bank, isn't it just to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, isn't it good that the money and the goods can be matched, such a person still needs to go to Fengxiang to find it, isn't this waste fertilizer and water flowing into the fields of outsiders?" ”

Wang Zhu glared at Zhao Feihu: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Feihu's eyes widened angrily, feeling that Wang Zhu was despising himself, he stood up and was about to launch a counterattack, Qin Zhen saw that the topic began to deviate, and quickly reached out to stop Zhao Feihu, Zhao Feihu now admires Qin Zhen very much, and even has a trace of fear, seeing that Qin Zhen stopped him and didn't let him say, he could only sit down again, and he sulked alone.

Seeing that Zhao Feihu couldn't turn around, Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Feihu, what you see is only the surface, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, you don't know the business industry, so you don't know the dangerous crisis in it, and even some of the dangers are no worse than killing enemies on the battlefield." You are leading troops, if someone says that there is something difficult about fighting, isn't it just to lead people to rush up and kill all the enemies soon, what will you think? ”

Zhao Feihu got up again: "Captain, who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?" Is it so easy to fight a war? Training soldiers, weapons, armor, morale, and the enemy's situation, all of these things need to be mastered by us......"

Looking at the eyes of everyone looking at him with a smile, Zhao Feihu suddenly reacted, and after sitting down, he said to Chen Luosheng with some sneer: "That Luosheng, I was talking nonsense just now, don't mind." ”

Chen Luosheng said to Zhao Feihu seriously: "I won't mind if you say this in this room!" ”

Zhao Feihu patted his chest vigorously: "It's really enough brother!" After speaking, he didn't forget to roll his eyes at Wang Zhu.

Qin Zhen thought for a moment and said to Chen Luosheng: "Since there is no suitable person in Weizhou, then look for it in Fengxiang or Qinzhou, but you may have to focus on Fengxiang's side in the near future, Weizhou is our territory after all, and we will take care of it, and nothing big will happen." ”

Chen Luosheng nodded in understanding.

Qin Zhen said to Meng Xuan again: "Old Meng, you can show those two lists to Luosheng." Meng Xuan took out the list and handed it to Chen Luosheng. Smiled: "Luosheng, this is the list of our seizures from the Black Dragon Village and the Second Dragon, you can take a look." ”

Qin Zhen continued: "Luosheng, now in addition to the two thousand five hundred taels of silver obtained from the war horse, we have also collected two thousand taels of silver from these two bandits' dens, if we add these antique tools, I think we can make up six or seven thousand taels of silver, these silver and antiques are now at your disposal, so I think the scale of the transaction between us and Zhang Yuhai also needs to be changed." ”

Chen Luosheng was overjoyed: "Okay, to be honest, we have such a big battle this time, and it is indeed a bit shabby to only trade two thousand five hundred taels of things, now that I have this silver, I can have a good talk with Zhang Yuhai, these antique utensils, I think Zhang Yuhai will be interested, please rest assured, I will definitely maximize the use of this batch of silver in our hands." However, we changed the trading volume this time, which is likely to be a bit delayed. ”

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "There is no problem with this, anyway, we now have a place to stay, and it will not be a problem to wait for ten days, as long as we return to Weizhou before the heavy snow comes." ”

Qin Zhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of which, there is another very important matter that needs to be discussed with everyone, that is, the handling of the almost two hundred bandit captives who are being held in Black Dragon Village. ”

Liu Sheng frowned after hearing this: "This is indeed a problem, we can't kill all these two hundred people, this also hurts Tiande, but it is not appropriate to let them go like this, and when we leave, they will gather in the mountains and forests, endangering the surroundings, and most importantly, it is not safe for our trade routes." ”

Xue Yuan also sighed: "Except for those big traitors, most of these bandits were also forced to go up the mountain because they were cornered, if they can have a stable life under the mountain, who is willing to run to the mountain to lick the blood, there is no problem in fighting each other on the battlefield, but now that they have surrendered, the problem is to us, we must think of a proper solution." ”

Meng Xuan said in a deep voice: "If you want me to say, it's better to add them to our Zhichong Mansion, anyway, our Zhichong Mansion is very short of soldiers now, I believe that after our training and transformation, they can become very good Zhichong Mansion sergeants." ”

Several other people nodded again and again, agreeing with Meng Xuan's plan.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Qin Zhen concluded: "I very much agree with Lao Meng's plan to absorb this gang of bandits, but I want to change it a little more, I want to set up an independent garrison of our Weizhou Zhichong Mansion in this Black Dragon Village, so my idea is that we can set up an independent brigade of Weizhou Zhichong Mansion here, and we will set aside some Weizhou sergeants as the backbone, and absorb these captured bandits into the independent brigade, so that the independent brigade can escort our caravan in the Longshang territory in the future, not to be harassed by other bandits; Second, it can also cannibalize and absorb the surrounding bandit forces, and now it seems that this is a lot of manpower and wealth. ”

As soon as Qin Zhen's words were finished, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, this idea was indeed a clever move, Meng Xuan laughed and said: "The captain is the captain, this move is really wonderful." ”
