Chapter 546: Proactive Disclosure of Information
Drinking is not allowed in the barracks, but this is only to restrain ordinary soldiers, for people of Su Dingfang's level, as long as he doesn't drink too much and delay things, then drinking is actually a very normal thing for him, which is also a habit inherited from Cheng Yanjin, and the soldiers below are also convinced.
If you are incompetent on the battlefield, even if you don't drink, the soldiers in the army have little respect for you, because you are a useless person, why should you lead them?
But if you take them to fight in the north and south, and most of the battles are victorious, the general military regulations are of little use to you, even if you violate the military regulations, the soldiers treat you as their military god, which has been proven by the generals of the older generation of the Tang Dynasty, so no matter where Su Dingfang goes, there is a carriage specially for him to pull wine.
"I said, Lord Zhao, I bought all this wine myself, what is the price of Datang Tianjiu? Your old man is from Chang'an City, so he naturally knows very well that I am a one-star player, and every catty of wine is 30 yuan. ”
Su Dingfang walked to the door of the tent, and suddenly turned around, this is to do things for our Datang, why should I pay for it myself, although he doesn't know the amount of alcohol that General Mo Lun drinks, but he also knows by looking at that guy, he must have drunk a lot, not to mention that people have sent so many things, don't you give them some when you leave? Come and don't be rude, our Datang general can't let people say that we are stingy.
"What does General Su mean by that? Don't tell me how much this wine is, I don't care about this, General Molun made it clear, people are gifts from their own pockets, we have to wait with others, you also have to pay out of your own pockets to give gifts to others, so that you can better contact your feelings, and you can better know what Xue Yantuo's situation is in their country. ”
Lord Zhao is from Chang'an City, if you want to talk about going to the battlefield to fight, even if this guy brings in the eight generations of his ancestors, he is not Su Dingfang's opponent, but if you want to talk about grinding his tongue, Su Dingfang's ancestors are eighteen generations here, and it is not Lord Zhao's opponent.
So as soon as Su Dingfang began to speak, Lord Zhao knew what he wanted to say, you want us to listen to this account to you, there is no such reason in the world, not to mention that the Li Fan Yuan is also poor, and it is not as rich as your military, so before Su Dingfang finished talking to him, Lord Zhao had already disappeared into the tent.
"This old puppet is a thief......"
After all, scolding and scolding, there are a lot of things to do, Su Dingfang asked people to take two jars of wine, and sent someone to send a letter over there, it is time to eat now, let's go to the center of the two armies to exchange feelings.
General Mo Lun was preparing to eat with Wadahan, and after hearing about this, he immediately brought their golden roast sheep over, this is a well-known chef under him, plus some small green vegetables made by Su Dingfang's men, a table of leeks was quickly put together, things like small green vegetables are nothing in Chang'an City, even ordinary people can eat them every day, but if it is on the grassland, these things are precious, who makes this side not grow green vegetables.
The brand of Datang Tianjiu has gone out, not only the people in Chang'an City are willing to drink, including the nobles of the surrounding countries, they also like to drink this kind of wine, I heard that this is a one-star Datang Tianjiu, General Mo Lun is even more energetic, and before he said anything, he drank it first.
This kind of wine is 30 yuan a pound in Chang'an City, which is not cheap.
However, it is even more expensive in Gaochang Kingdom, according to General Mo Lun, the price of this thing per catty has increased twenty times in Gaochang Kingdom.
"Six hundred yuan??"
Su Dingfang thought he had misheard.
"General Su heard it right, in our Gaochang country, this is the price, even if you can get the money, you can't buy it at all, there are too few goods coming over every year, don't underestimate our Western Regions, although our population here is not as good as your Datang, but we have a lot of rich people here."
General Molun is telling the truth, the situation here is slightly better than that of Tibet, there are still many civilians among the common people, but there are still many slaves, they work from morning to night to the last penny, all the social value they create is the tribal head, and the tribal head has money.
"I can't believe it's so expensive."
Su Dingfang shook his head and said, he knew that the major families were grabbing wine in Chang'an City, and after grabbing the wine, they did not sell it in various places, but all of them were shipped to the countries around Datang.
Now I understand that twice the profit that people don't look down on at all, what is twice the profit in the eyes of others? The major families all have caravans to the surrounding countries, and as long as the wine is loaded on the caravan and transported to the surrounding countries, it is ten times or twenty times the profit.
"We can still do it here, if it's on the Western Turkic side, the price is twice as high as ours."
Su Dingfang hadn't come back to his senses, and suddenly heard such a sentence, in the north and west of Gaochang State, it was the largest Western Turk, this area was sparsely populated, when the Turks were divided, some Turkic nobles were unwilling to submit to the Tang Dynasty, so they came to the west with their soldiers and established a huge territory of Western Turks, including a part of present-day Central Asia.
"Didn't Xue Yantuo's people bring some when they came?"
The two of them already had half a pound of wine in their stomachs, and everyone's faces were flushed, so Su Dingfang began to try.
"Those fellows didn't bring anything with them when they left, but they gave them a lot of gifts inside our country, or could we let them in? We all wanted to be friends with the Tang Dynasty, but our king was blinded by them......"
General Mo Lun already drank wine, but remembered what Wadahan asked him to memorize before, Wadahan told him that if he forgot his own mother, he couldn't forget these words, and he had to recite them to General Datang word by word, which was the main purpose of our doing these things.
