Chapter 227: Big Deal
Today, Koji has about 70,000 soldiers, but only a few thousand cavalry.
Last time, he led 6,000 light cavalry to rescue Koji Yi, which is already the limit of being able to dispatch cavalry, and I can't think of more than 1,000 cavalry.
Qingzhou is not as good as Jiangdong, and the role of cavalry is very great, especially if there is a war with Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao in the future, no cavalry will suffer very much.
Yuan Shao has Wuhuan Tu Cavalry, and Gongsun Zhan has White Horse Yicong, all of whom are the elite of the cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and the impact is extremely strong.
In the past, Koji Yi's strength was insufficient, and his subordinates also lacked a general to lead the cavalry, but now not only has the strength been qualitatively improved, but Zhao Yun has joined, and it is indeed time to develop the cavalry.
Su Shuang put on his previous smile again, and asked Lu Yi: "I don't know how many war horses Qingzhou wants, and how much does it take to be iron?" ”
Lu Yi thought about it in his heart, and then said: "I want 10,000 war horses first, and as for how many iron and stone you can transport, I will want as many as I want!" ”
10,000 war horses plus the six or seven thousand cavalry that Koji had at hand could train into 10,000 cavalry, and the extra horses could be used to supplement the losses in battle and training.
With Koji Yi's current strength, it is not up to the standard of riding a pair of horses, but sooner or later it will be realized.
Su Shuang's eyes lit up after hearing this, 10,000 war horses plus iron and stone, this is a big deal, if it can be successfully completed, the strength of himself and Zhang Shiping can rise another level in Jizhou.
Thinking of this, the smile on Su Shuang's face became brighter, and he asked respectfully: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know if Qingzhou decided to trade gold and silver, or barter?" ”
Ko Yi shook his head and replied: "I have just arrived in Beihai, and recently I have rewarded civil and military affairs, and the gold and silver in my hands are not abundant, so I can't buy them directly. ”
Su Shuang was not surprised to hear Ko Yi's words, the two of them had also heard of Ko Yi's situation in the past two years, and it was normal to have too much gold and silver.
Since Koji had no gold or silver in his hands, he had to barter for goods, and although bartering was a bit troublesome, the profits were sometimes greater than using gold and silver directly.
Su Shuang thought about it and smiled: "In this way, you can only barter goods, I don't know what General Koji is going to exchange for?" ”
Hearing this, Koji Yi shook his head again and sighed: "Our army has been fighting for many years, although we have won successive battles, but there is nothing of value in our hands!" ”
The smiles on Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's faces instantly froze after hearing this, and slowly showed a look of vigilance, and the two glanced at each other, both thinking of the rumors about Jizhou's koji righteousness.
After all, the two of them have traveled south and north for many years, and they have seen countless winds and waves, so they quickly adjusted their mentality, and Zhang Shiping asked: "I don't know what Qingzhou means?" ”
Seeing that the two of them looked vigilant, and knew that the two of them would be wrong, he smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, although I was born in the army, I am the most important promise, and I will never do anything to buy and sell."
I want to use Qingzhou for a year of salt in exchange for 10,000 war horses and 300,000 catties of iron and stone in the hands of the two, I don't know what the two of them think? ”
The eyes of the two lit up instantly after hearing this, but they didn't expect Koji to actually use salt as an exchange.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping often sell smuggled salt in Qingxu Erzhou in various places, among which the profit is well known, this is still selling smuggled salt, if there is a regular salt introduction issued by Kojiyi, the profit is even greater, although it is only one year, but it is absolutely sure to make no loss.
Zhang Shiping secretly gave Su Shuang a look, the two have worked together for many years, and they have long been in the same mind, and they can know each other's intentions with one look.
I saw that Su Shuang's bright eyes just now suddenly darkened, and the expression on his face also changed to a look of embarrassment.
Then he arched his hand and said to Ko Yi: "Now that there are wars and chaos, there are different princes guarding various passes, and they are not subordinate to each other, and the road is blocked.
Whether it is a war horse or an iron stone, it is a forbidden thing, and if you are not careful, you will be imprisoned, and even have the disaster of destroying the family, which can be described as a great risk.
But since we promised Qingzhou, we will do it, but I don't know if Qingzhou can change the salt introduction period to three years, so that the two of us will not lose too much......"
Before Su Shuang finished speaking, he directly interrupted with a wave of his hand, and then said to Liyan and Guan Hai in a deep voice: "Send off!" ”
After saying that, he got up and left.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were frightened by the sudden change of face of Ko Yi, this was still pleasant just now, how can you say that you will turn your face when you turn your face?
Isn't it normal to buy and sell goods and bargain?
If you are too high, you can bargain......!
Su Zhang and the others looked at Lu Yi, who was about to turn into the back hall, and Lu Yan and Guan Hai, who were not good-looking, and hurriedly shouted: "Qingzhou stays, the two of us are willing to exchange a year's salt for a war horse iron stone!" ”
Koji Yi stopped after hearing this, grinned with his back to the two, and then turned around with a retracted smile and sat down again.
"Whew......!"
When Su and Zhang saw Lu Yi returning, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
It's not easy to deal with the people who lead the troops!
Koji Yi motioned for the two to sit down, and continued: "The war horse and the iron and stone must be of the highest quality, and the number of deliveries must be forty percent in the first season, and then one percent per quarter until the end.
As for the delivery of salt, the same is true, and when the specific conversion is completed, I will order Cui to be responsible. ”
What Koji Yi gave to the two of them was only a salt introduction, that is, the procedures for selling salt legally, but how much salt could be sold each time was calculated by Koji Yi, of course, it was also the amount after equivalent conversion.
After all, buying and selling is about integrity, although the upper ones in this era disdain to pay attention to businessmen, but Koji Yi knows the benefits that the world can bring.
Let the two of them eat some sweetness first, and throw bricks and jade, so as to attract more businessmen from all over the world to trade with them.
In order to develop quickly and achieve their goals, Koji Yi allowed some people to get rich first.
Regarding Ko Yi's request, Su and Zhang agreed after a little summing up, although the first season was a little tight, but it was not impossible to complete.
After the negotiation of the large framework, the remaining details such as the exchange ratio of war horses and iron, iron, and salt, how to deliver, and the delivery time, Koji Yi was ready to hand over to Cui Lin to deal with with with all the details.
Koji Yi ordered Koji Yan to go to find Cui Lin, and after a while, Cui Lin came quickly, and when he saw two strangers sitting in the hall, he was slightly puzzled and didn't think much about it, and respectfully saluted Koji Yi.
Lu Yi sat down with a smile, and then introduced to Su and Zhang: "This is Cui Lin Cui Deru, the main book under my account!" ”
Su Zhang and the others saw Cui Lin's grace and elegance, and they admired it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly got up to give a salute, and Cui Lin also returned the salute.
Later, Lu Yi introduced Su and Zhang to Cui Lin: "These two are Zhang Shiping, the Su Shuang of Zhongshan Kingdom, and I negotiated with the two of them to exchange salt for war horses and iron stones!" ”
Koji Yi briefly told Cui Lin what had happened and what he had just talked about.
Cui Lin was slightly surprised when he heard that Koji Yi wanted to exchange salt for war horses and iron stones, but since it was something that Koji Yi had promised, even if he was puzzled, he would not ask in front of outsiders.
Maintaining the authority of the lord is the duty of every subordinate.
Lu Yi finished explaining the matter, and then said to Su and Zhang: "For the follow-up matters, in the future, you and the two can directly negotiate with Master Cui!" ”
After speaking, he nodded to Cui Lin, then got up and walked to the back hall.
Cui Lin has been following Koji Yi for a long time, and he knows the look in Koji Yi when he leaves, and he smiles slightly without a trace at the corner of his mouth.
