Chapter 152 Trade Cooperation (2-in-1 Chapter)
Hearing the prompt given by the system, Zhang Shuo was stunned at first, and then excited. secretly thought that Xie An was really powerful, as soon as he led his ancestral brothers out on the front foot, he was ready to move to the East China Sea on the back foot. Although I don't know what kind of exchange of interests the two of them reached on behalf of the Xie family and the Zu family. But in this way, he only needs to be responsible for planning how to move south.
However, with the current thorny situation of wars in the world in "Imperial Dynasty", it is not easy to cross the land of the two states and move thousands of ancestral clansmen from Julu in Jizhou to the East China Sea in Xuzhou. After all, a group of NPC princes and players along the way, seeing a thousand ancestors and their entourage, who are not lacking in talent treasures, it is impossible to say that they are not tempted.
Moreover, if he failed to invite Zu Ti repeatedly, Shi Le, who was annoyed and angry, would inevitably send troops to pursue him. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of escorting the Zu clan is not something that ordinary grandmasters can bear.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo looked at Wang Yanzhang in front of him: "Xianming, it seems that you have to work hard this time?" ”
"Don't worry, this time, the minister will not let the monarch down!"
Hearing Zhang Shuo's words, although Wang Yanzhang was a little unclear, he also vaguely guessed that it must be related to the ancestral family. After communicating with Zhang Shuo, this idea was confirmed. Wang Yanzhang was even more generous, saying that he would never let others hurt a single hair of the ancestors.
After the candidates were decided, Zhang Shuo also began to discuss the evacuation plan of the Zu clan with Zu Ti and Xie An and others. After all, it has to cross two states and cross the territory of hundreds of forces, large and small. You can't help but think about it in the long run. After a period of discussion and planning between Zhang Shuo, Xie An, and Zu Ti, everyone finally decided to use the waterway as the mainstay, cross the Yellow River into the East China Sea, and go to Qianguo.
In this way, most of the forces can be circumvented, after all, except for a few forces, most of the forces are still unable to completely block the waters within the territory at the moment. For example, before Wang Zhi's fleet was captured, the Qianguo could only barely defend the coastal areas.
However, there is also a problem with taking the waterway, that is, if one of the large and small pirate forces along the way is not handled well, it may be planted in the Qianguo naval army. Coupled with the wind and waves at sea and shore supplies along the way, it is also a big problem.
"Jiefu, Wang Zhi, are you willing to cooperate with us?"
Zhang Shuo glanced at Wang Anshi and asked.
"It's still a stalemate, and although the guy was captured, his attitude is still very tough. He had been emphasizing to the guards that the Wufeng had to be returned to him before he was willing to consider cooperation. ”
Wang Anshi said helplessly. Cooperation with Wang Zhi is what Zhang Shuo has always thought, and the salt used in Xuzhou counties is generally from Guangling Zhou, and Qianguo can only take a long-term view if he wants to develop.
The three prefectures of You, Ji and Liao in the north, as well as the grassland areas such as Heishui and Songdesert, are the best sales areas for salt, and Zhang Shuo naturally does not want to miss it. But the pirates big and small along the way are no joke.
Especially as one of the four pirate kings in Huaxia, Sun En, who can be called the "pirate ancestor" in the history of China. At present, it is cruising in the East China Sea east of Langya County and south of Qingzhou. In the Bohai area, there are more famous pirate leaders such as Zhu Qing, Zhang Xuan, and Guan Cheng. It was not a simple matter for the Qianguo to cross them and trade north.
Therefore, if you want to open up the trade route to the north in the early stage, you can only cooperate with Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi will come forward to deal with these large and small pirates. Originally, this was a win-win deal, but Wang Zhi has always relied on his identity, thinking that without himself, Qianguo would inevitably not be able to settle these large and small pirate leaders, so he sat on the ground and raised the price.
"It seems that he really thinks he is indispensable."
Zhang Shuo frowned, and then said to Dai Zong beside him: "Master Dai, you go and escort Wang Zhi over, and this king wants to talk to him personally." ”
"Whoa!"
Dai Zong took the order, took a few guards, and left quickly. After only a moment, he rushed back with Wang Zhi, who was ruddy-faced. Because of the idea of making money in harmony, during this period of time, the cadres not only did not embarrass Wang Zhi, but also gave him a good meal every day.
"See you again, King Qian...... Why is Yaxing looking for a certain family today, the king of the dead country? ”
Wang Zhi said proudly. Judging from Qianguo's attitude towards him in recent days, he thought that Zhang Shuo would not treat him well, so he showed no fear.
"The king of the dead country, what kind of face do you have to dictate in front of Lonely!"
After Zhang Shuo paused, he continued: "Lone asked you one last time, are you willing to cooperate? As long as you want, I will be responsible for making salt, and you will be responsible for selling it. We split the account between the two sides. If you don't want to, then Gu can only go to Immortal Monarch Sun En and see if he has any ideas in this regard. ”
"Sun En?"
Seeing that Zhang Shuo mentioned Sun En, Wang Zhi sneered and said:
"Sun En's house, don't look at him as a five-bucket rice dao sacrificial wine on the surface (the backbone of the five-bucket rice sect, but Sun En's heavenly master lineage has no authority, and Sun En's five-bucket rice is already essentially independent), and he is regarded as an immortal by countless fools, and his disciples are as high as hundreds of thousands. But he is actually not much better than those of us, and he and the immortals under his command have done nothing less than the things that rob homes and houses behind his back, and hurt the heavens and reason. Wanting him to sell salt in a regular and decent manner is tantamount to a fool's dream! ”
"So you mean to refuse to cooperate?" Zhang Shuo's face was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice.
“…… Not really. ”
Wang Zhi is no one, at this time, he will naturally not continue to be tough. He pondered for a moment before he spoke: "If you want to open this route, the prestige of a certain person alone is still far from enough. After all, pirates have always respected each other's strength, and whoever has the most fist listens to whom. ”
"The ship's meaning is that you are no longer useful?" When Zhang Shuo heard this, he smiled playfully.
"Without me, you can't deal with pirates!"
"Okay, Lone doesn't have this spare time, I'm here to play Tai Chi with you, let's talk about what you mean."
Zhang Shuo waved his hand and said impatiently. In fact, Zhang Shuo was not really impatient, he just wanted to give Wang Zhi some sense of oppression and let him know the big and small kings.
"If you want to open up the Northland route, Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan's disciples are still second, and the immortal monarch Sun En is the real key. If we are willing to give him enough proceeds, he must be more than willing to sit back and enjoy the results. You may have to make a trip yourself.
As for the other pirates, we need to buy them off with a portion of the profits. As long as you share with these pirates, the Northland route will be unimpeded! ”
"Just like that, thirty percent of the benefits fall into their mouths? The two of us can only divide seventy percent......"
Zhang Shuo couldn't help frowning when he heard Wang Zhi's words. But when you think about it, there is some truth to it.
However, Wang Zhi looked at Zhang Shuo's tangled appearance, but he laughed out loud and said with a mocking face: "King Qian, you think too much!" The seventy percent I said is seventy percent of other people's, and we can get thirty percent, so it depends on people's faces! ”
"Whose face is it?"
"Pirate ......"
"Pirates? Lone worked so hard to dry salt and transport salt, just to see the faces of these pirates?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Shuo looked at Wang Zhi and couldn't help but say angrily: "Ship Master Wang, aren't you cheating on me?" I went all the way to pull salt north, just to see their faces? ”
"Yes!"
"I finally dug up salt and pulled it to the Northland." Eight Chinese Net
"Yes!"
"I still have to visit Sun En in person?"
"Yes!"
"You have to buy other pirates?"
"Yes!"
"You have to look at TM's face?"
"Yes!"
"Am I not going to be on my knees begging for food?"
"Then if you want to say that, the two of us are really kneeling and begging for food when we cooperate in selling salt. That's it, if there is no so-and-so, how many people want to kneel and not have this door! Moreover, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of the Qianguo to enter and exit freely in the territory of these pirates, and this transportation must be done by me! I want one and a half, and the two families will divide it into three! ”
When it comes to interests, Wang Zhi did not back down, and said righteously. And Zhang Shuo did turn around directly, and said indifferently to Dai Zong beside him: "Send him on the road!"
"Don't!"
Seeing Dai Zong, who had already drawn his sword and stepped forward, Wang Zhi hurriedly shouted: "There is still discussion, fifty percent...... No, sixty percent, really only sixty percent at most. ”
"Go on!"
Seeing Dai Zong put away the knife, Wang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and could only say helplessly: "That's it, if you can return my original warships, and then lend Wang Yanzhanglong and Xie Xuan to me." I can find a way to help you keep the toll down to 40%. However, I will take 30% of the remaining 60% of the profit! ”
"You can only take 20%! At present, the original team, including you, are now all prisoners of my Qianguo. This is to redeem your lives! ”
As soon as Zhang Shuo's words came out, Wang Zhi was speechless. Both of them were speechless for a long time.
After a while, Zhang Shuo loosened his mouth and proposed to Wang Zhi: "Right now, there is one more thing that I want to ask Brother Wang for help." If the matter is done, the remaining sixty percent of the profits will be divided with Brother Wang. ”
"Right now, Wang is just a prisoner of King Qian, how can he have any ability to help King Qian."
Obviously, Wang Zhi was still a little angry about Zhang Shuo's words just now. However, he is a character who can bend and stretch, and immediately changed the conversation, and asked: "I don't know what the king needs help from contemptible people?" ”
"The Fan Yang Zu clan is ready to take refuge in Qianguo, but this is a little far away......
Zhang Shuo immediately briefly told Wang Zhi what had happened, and then continued: "If Brother Wang can take them back to Qianguo safely, Gu will give you forty percent of the remaining profits!" ”
"This Fan Yang Zu clan is located far away from Donghai County. At present, there are constant wars in various states, and you have spent so much time to make a loss-making business. ”
"The ancestral family is willing to go all the way to the lonely, how can the lonely be left out! Whether it's worth it or not has nothing to do with you, I just want to ask Brother Wang, do you dare to take this order? Zhang Shuo looked at Wang Zhi playfully and asked.
"Why don't you dare!"
Wang straightened his body and said proudly. Now that he's at this point, there's nothing to lose. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, what else is there to be afraid of.
After the two reached a cooperation, Zhang Shuo directly released Wang Zhi's righteous son Mao Haifeng, as well as the more than 2,000 pirates who had been captured at the beginning. And handed over to Wang Zhi one silver-class five-story ship, two bronze-class three-story ships, and ten black iron-class walkers and red horse boats. In order to prevent Wang Zhi from doing anything, and also to exercise the sailing ability of the navy, Zhang Shuo asked Zhou Cang and the eight hundred recruits of the navy army to follow Wang Zhi by the way. If something happens, feel free to do it.
Since the mission period was half a year, Zhang Shuo did not let Wang Zhi and Wang Yanzhang set off immediately, but handed Wang Zhi 200 stones of salt, and asked him to take a wave of routes first and open up all joints.
At present, the salt drying efficiency of Qianguo has reached the point of producing 50 stone of coarse salt per day. The first time he only gave Wang Zhi 200 stones, it was out of many considerations.
First of all, Wang Zhi's creditworthiness is a problem, although this is a profitable business, but it is not allowed that Wang Zhi will think about the hatred with Qianguo, turn around and vote for Sun En, and reduce some losses if he gives less.
The second is also out of consideration for the sales volume and whether the pirates will refuse to cooperate and choose to rob. 200 stone coarse salt is a stepping stone for Wang Zhi, as long as there is no problem with sales and routes, then the supply of salt behind will naturally not be lacking, after all, this thing is almost zero cost.
However, these are secondary, and the main one is the problem of Qi and Shu.
Nowadays, the State of Qi has captured half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even though the Eastern Jin Dynasty has no shortage of famous generals such as Zhou Wan, Tao Kan, Wang Dun and the like. But for Sun Bin, a giant of the previous generation of soldiers, it is still more than a step behind. On Pengcheng's side, Kuang Zhang and Tian Wen won a great victory, and in just a few days, they have captured the land of the four counties.
After the Shu State pacified the Yuguo, it also issued a letter to Lu Bu's Wen State. Although there is no major movement yet. But whether it is the ability gap between Liu Bei and Lu Bu, or the military comparison between the two countries, Lu Bu has no chance of winning.
The letters sent by Zhang Shuo a few days ago were also replied to one by one. In the face of the powerful Qi and Shu kingdoms, the kings of all countries expressed their common hatred and hatred, but no one was willing to be the first bird.
At present, the Qianguo and the Qi State are nominally an alliance, and they have signed a non-aggression treaty with the Shu State, so naturally they cannot take the lead.
Regarding the current situation, Zhang Shuo can only choose to wait and see what happens, in addition to explaining the relationship to various countries. However, on the question of whether other countries will send troops, Zhang Shuo is confident, after all, no one wants to be beaten next.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
