There are several princes taking the lead, and the ministers below have to show something more or less.

Some out of 1,000, some out of 500, an early dynasty, raised 10,000 yuan.

After the harem concubines heard about it, for the sake of their son's future, they were not to be outdone, and took the lead in raising money and materials.

In just three days, Li Yuansheng raised about 20,000 yuan in property and appropriated funds from the state treasury, making a total of 50,000 yuan.

With this money, he quickly ordered the military department to prepare grain and grass to send to the front.

……

Fifty cauldrons were all produced after half a month, and Shen Xinyue decided to go to Beidi in person.

"Aren't we doing a good job in this business now?" Yang Chuan felt that she was purely blind toss.

"You know, you have to take a long-term view of business. Most of the Beidi people live by grazing, but they lack minerals, and the light industry is underdeveloped, so the iron pot is of great significance to them, and they can change a horse to them, or even more, believe it or not? ”

Yang Chuan was suspicious: "A horse? It's just a broken pot, it's impossible, right? ”

"Doing business, is to sell you have others or not, our Central Plains is unwilling to do business with them, one is a deep-rooted thought, I feel that they drink blood, not a good type. Then there is the bad environment of Beidi, there is no trade route, and you may die if you go. ”

"I heard that the two countries are preparing to fight now, why don't we slow down?"

"They beat theirs, we earn our money, there is no conflict." Seeing him hesitate, Shen Xinyue began to pat himself on the back: "Besides, with the eldest brother here, our caravan will definitely be fine." ”

Yang Chuan really used: "This is true. ”

So in addition to the fifty iron pots, Shen Xinyue asked Cheng Xiu to buy a batch of cloth and grain, divided into three grades, high, medium and low, and gathered five truckloads of goods.

Leaving Zhou Dunzi and Lu Chai stick in charge of affairs in the village, they chose a sunny weather, and Shen Xinyue and Yang Chuan and a dozen other brothers set off for Beidi.

Shen Xinyue's purpose this time is very clear, that is, to exchange for horses and horses.

The group rushed for more than ten days and finally arrived at a small county town at the junction of Dayuan and Beidi, Beishi Town.

Unlike the flowery trees seen before, except for a small amount of greenery, most of the other visible trees are next door.

The wind and sand in the town are relatively large, and the houses are made of stones and yellow mud.

It is low and dark, but warm in winter and cool in summer.

Because there were very few foreign convoys, as soon as the group entered the town, they were immediately targeted.

"Boss, I've seen it, there are five carriages in total, and there are only a dozen people. Looking at the depth of the rut prints, there should have been a lot of good things pulled on the car. A man in a gray coarse cloth shirt reported the latest news with the man in charge.

Another subordinate said excitedly: "There have been no newcomers in the town for a long time, it must be a caravan transporting goods, and the brothers have been really difficult during this time, and after slaughtering these fat sheep, they can finally fight tooth sacrifices again." ”

Their Sand Wolf Gang is a well-known horse bandit gang, not to mention only a dozen people, even dozens of people, and they can also let them go without returning.

The leader of the Sand Wolf Gang, Sand Wolf, turned the throwing knife in his hand, and then suddenly threw it out, and the blade of the knife was pierced straight into a wooden pillar.

If you look closely, there is also a spider that is building a web.

"Keep an eye on me."

……

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Xinyue and his party decided to find an inn to live in for the time being.

After settling the carriage, horses and goods, she and Yang Chuan and her party asked for wine and meat, sat down and ate slowly, and at the same time began to inquire about Beidi's situation from the boss.

"There are two relatively large towns in Beidi, one is the capital city of Yecheng, and the other is the Eagle City of the Northern Desert. Unlike the Khan, the lord of Eagle City, the Eagle King, also loves his own people. I heard that the old khan was ready to pass the throne to him. It's a pity ......"

As if realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, the boss stopped talking in time.

also smiled awkwardly at everyone: "I drank a few more sips of yellow soup, I'm sorry for you." ”

"I've also heard that this Eagle King has been suppressed by the Khan."

"How can we, the people, talk about these things? This pot of wine is our famous soju here, and it is free for everyone to try. ”

Shen Xinyue saw that he didn't want to say more, so she changed the topic and chatted with him about the grassland and weather in Mobei this year.

Knowing that the wind and rain are smooth, the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, and they are relieved.

It is rare for a group of mainlanders to come, and the boss asked a lot about what they have seen and heard about the mainland.

For Kan Dashan, Cheng Daliang is the most proficient, and he can always be stunned.

The two talked happily, and the boss was happy for a while, and gave each table a pot of wine.

In the small inn, it didn't take long for a few candles to be lit, and laughter was heard in the room from time to time.

After a night of repairing, everyone waved goodbye to the boss and his buddies, and slowly marched in the direction of the desert.

As the sun gradually rises, the temperature of the yellow sand under your feet also rises little by little.

Suddenly in such a dry environment, the group was very uncomfortable.

The speed of the journey has gradually slowed down.

"Let's rest in the shade in front of you for a while." Yang Chuan pointed to a shady slope in front of him and said.

Shen Xinyue nodded, and the group silently drove the carriage there.

"Phew." As soon as he stopped, Yang Chuan turned his back and spit on the ground several times: "This wind and sand is really big for his grandmother, just the sand filled with it fills Lao Tzu." ”

The others shook off the yellow sand in their shoes and asked puzzledly: "Second master, Yecheng is much more prosperous than Eagle City, since we want to sell it at a good price, why don't we go to Yecheng?" It only takes four or five days to get there, and to go to Eagle City, not only does it take you to pass through this desert, but it will take at least half a month. ”

"The enemy of my enemy is naturally my friend, and I can't do anything to support my enemy."

Cheng Daliang took the water out and handed it to her: "What is the enemy?" ”

Shen Xinyue took it and took a few sips before she felt that her hot throat felt much better.

"To put it simply, it's to help the enemy."

Cheng Daliang: "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter what kind of capital he is, as long as he has money to make, the enemy is also a friend." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a kick in the leg.

"Look at your little bit of talent, you only have money in your eyes, superficial!"

Cheng Daliang was unconvinced: "Let's be mountain bandits, why not for money?" ”

"It's a lot."

Yang Chuan found a shady place to sit down at random, half-squinted his eyes and said: "What kind of mind to the world, love and righteousness are nonsense, only brothers and family members are true." If anyone threatens them, it will be my Yang Chuan's enemy, no matter who he is, see one and cut the other. ”

Shen Xinyue glanced at him, but he didn't expect that a person who was rough and unkempt on weekdays could say such a thing.
