Chapter 1382 Reselling Materials to Supplement Military Expenses

Just when the two were discussing these major military affairs, the merchants of the Western Regions outside were also arguing with the quartermaster of the army.

It's all for their own interests, the businessman hopes to be able to keep the price lower, but the quartermaster hopes that the income of the imperial court can be higher, which is also a very normal thing, so Cheng Chuliang didn't interfere too much.

If there is no benefit, the next time there is something like this, people will not come, but the interests of the imperial court must also be guaranteed, this is a pure commercial behavior, so Cheng Chuliang and the generals of the Western Regions have not interfered too much, what you hype up is what it looks like, anyway, as long as you quarrel, it means that these things are valuable, as long as these things are valuable, then this transaction can be successful.

For a whole night, although the surrounding area was filled with the smell of cow dung, the spirits of the quartermaster and the merchants did not decrease at all, until the day was almost dawn, and many people's faces were still full of joy!

Basically, everyone is happy, about 200,000 sheep and 150,000 cattle are traded in one night, and as for these military horses that are collected, it is impossible to sell them, and these things are also in demand for the Tang army.

"Looking at this expression on your face, you haven't slept all night, you should have made a lot of money, right?"

When Cheng Chuliang came to his big account, Feng Chucai and a group of quartermasters were still settling accounts here, and this matter was mainly handed over to him, mainly because there were many people in the army who were fighting, but there were not many people who could settle accounts, and there were not many people who could do business to this extent.

If Zhang Jiuli was here, then there would be no need for them to come up and join in, but Zhang Jiuli is still settling down in the Western Regions, dealing with the kings of those countries and the leaders of the tribes, which is not what they are good at.

Xiao Shougui and Zhang Jiuli were divided into two routes, which can be regarded as letting the countries of the Western Regions settle down.

When the Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty were at war before, many of them were still eye-to-eyed with the Arab Empire, but we don't have the time to clean them up now, so we can only settle them down first, and when the war between us and the Arab Empire is over, you people will have to have a way out.

So none of these two people can come to Samarhan City, and the situation here has to be handed over to Feng Chucai, this guy is still very good, although there is a certain gap with the two people just now, but in the process of doing business, it has only one standard, that is, so that the Tang Dynasty has no financial holes.

"Dashuai is right, my throat is about to dry up this night, but it sold more than we expected, and now we have received a total of 6 million money."

This guy said happily, when he heard this sign, Cheng Chuliang's two eyes also narrowed into a slit, according to the original estimate, it was good to be able to have 5 million money, but I didn't expect that now there is an extra 1 million money, which means that this war has been recovered.

We still have a lot of things to deal with, this is already the capital has been recovered, and the rest is the harvest of the war, not to mention that we just robbed some areas around the city of Samarkand, and if we extend it further, there will be more benefits!

So this war is the same as before, there is nothing to lose.

"About the girls?"

Feng Chucai suddenly thought of another thing, last night many merchants in the Western Regions noticed these girls in the barracks, of course, these people must not be able to go to the battlefield to fight, they must be the trophies of the Tang army, if you buy them back, it can also be exchanged for a lot of money!

"Those people don't think about it, these girls can't sell them for a few dollars, it's better to transport them to Chang'an City to sell, and they can be sold for a lot of money, of course, we can also hold an auction in the army, there are many people who don't have wives in the army, I think those girls are not very old, plus the appearance is not bad, if it can solve the big problems of many soldiers, it is also a good thing."

Cheng Chuliang is still very clear about the stinginess of these merchants in the Western Regions, if they buy a cow or sheep, they can make a lot of money, but if they buy a woman, I am afraid they are not willing to spend money, in the eyes of merchants from various countries in the Western Regions, the price of a woman is not as good as a cow.

But if it is sent to Chang'an City, it is different, sent to Chang'an City can be sold at least 2~3 cattle price, of course, a few years ago it was not sold at this price, mainly because everyone is not rich, but now Chang'an City is paid around the flow of oil, if you send such people to them, then they are absolutely willing to pay the price of three cows.

"Dashuai is right, these merchants in the Western Regions have really never seen money, bargaining with them, it's really too tiring, if it weren't for the financial hole of the imperial court, I wouldn't want to talk to these people for a long time, just take out the knife."

Feng Chucai's words also made everyone laugh, it was difficult enough to let these soldiers do business, and they had to guarantee the price, so everyone was reluctant to do this, if there was no Feng Chucai, then they would have to go up, but I'm afraid they would have taken out the knife earlier.

That's why Feng Chu was able to endure this step, and he was able to let us have 6 million money, which is already quite not easy, and in the process of looting by various tribes, in addition to these cattle, sheep and women, we also have another part of valuable things, although they are not the most valuable, but it is no problem to sell them for one or two million dollars.

"Then I'll write a recital to His Highness first, we should be able to pay 8 million yuan, right?"

Cheng Chuliang still asked, the pressure on His Royal Highness's side is not small, the imperial court has complaints about the Western Regions, if you don't hurry up and paste this hole, I'm afraid those people don't know how much to do.

"Write 8.5 million yuan, and you will be able to ship it this afternoon."

Feng Chucai thought for a while and said, Try to reduce the trouble for His Highness, then we have to pay as much money as possible, and those civil officials in the province chew their tongues.
