Chapter 224: Drinking to quench your thirst, what can I do about it
Xianbei Kebi can be a big tent.
"Great Khan, a letter from General Cheng of Great Wei!"
A tall and burly Xianbei guard delivered Cheng Yu's letter to Kebineng's hand.
After receiving the letter, Kobineng waved his hand to signal the Xianbei guard to stand down, and then sat down on the main seat in the large tent and began to read the letter in his hand.
The content of Cheng Yu's letter was very short, and Kebi could read it quickly.
"I didn't expect Da Wei to quickly agree to my request to expand the scale of the mutual market!"
After placing the letter on the table, Kobi could feel a little surprised.
Since the second year when Kebineng and Great Wei began to exchange markets, the living standards of all the Xianbei tribes under him have improved significantly.
And these ministers are increasingly inseparable from the various commodities provided by the Great Wei Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.
Kebineng also slowly discovered that it was very inappropriate to rely on the supply of materials from Great Wei in this way, after all, important materials such as salt, iron and grain needed to be exchanged for war horses.
At first, it was because of a severe cold winter on the prairie, and it was a last resort to agree to Dawei exchanging war horses for necessary materials for life.
It was precisely by relying on the grain and cotton clothes and quilts obtained from that exchange of markets that Kebi Nengbu was not seriously injured in that cold winter.
At the beginning, for the sake of those cotton clothes and quilts, Kebineng had to join forces with Budugen to stage a tribal conflict.
Now the tribes under Kebineng have passed the most critical moment, but they have become more and more dependent on obtaining daily necessities from the exchange of markets with the Great Wei.
Kebi Neng knew very well that exchanging war horses for living supplies was tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst for the entire Xianbei, but his subordinates couldn't stop.
The scarcity of materials on the prairie, as well as the long winter, these subordinates who have enjoyed the benefits of the goods of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce are increasingly unsatisfied with the current living conditions.
Kebineng, who originally planned to slowly reduce his trade with the Great Wei Mutual Market, was also asked by all his tribal leaders to continue to expand the scale of the mutual market.
"Alas......"
Kebineng, who was sitting alone in the big tent, sighed helplessly, knowing that he had fallen for the conspiracy of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, but there was no way to deal with it at the moment.
I can't beat and fight, and sooner or later, I will either completely surrender or die.
Kebineng was powerless at this time.
At the same time, the Xianbei step is within the big tent.
Bu Dugen, who also received Cheng Yu's letter, did not despair as desperately as Kebineng after reading Cheng Yu's letter.
Because Bu Dugen knows that his strength on the grassland is not as good as Ke Bineng, and it is even more different from Da Wei.
Therefore, Bu Dugen wants to ensure that the strength in his hand is not damaged now, so as not to destroy himself after being targeted by Dawei or Kebi.
Although Bu Dugen also knows the dangers of exchanging war horses for living materials, but what can he do to solve the things that even Kebi can solve?
And in the three years of the Great Wei City, the population of the Budugen tribe has increased significantly, although it has paid a lot of war horses, but the strength has not decreased significantly.
When the tribal leaders under his command proposed to expand the scale of the mutual market with Great Wei, Bu Dugen agreed without much hesitation.
For the expansion of the scale of the mutual market, the ideas of Budugen and Kebineng can be said to be very different.
The news of the expansion of the scale of the Great Wei and Xianbei mutual markets soon spread throughout Youzhou, and all the shopkeepers of the commercial houses participating in the mutual market heard the news and laughed from ear to ear.
After that, the shopkeeper of the firm who responded quickly hurriedly went to the Youzhou branch and found the shopkeeper Zhao to book a large number of goods.
After Cheng Yu informed and agreed to the expansion of the mutual market between Kebineng and Budugen, he began to write to Cao Cao to report the situation.
In order to better weaken the strength of the Xianbei people, Cheng Yu proposed that as long as the horses were exchanged, they could be exchanged for grain and salt and iron, and were no longer limited to war horses.
The relaxation of this condition seems to have reduced the burden on the Xianbei people, but it is actually a more thorough blow to them, because war horses are not created out of thin air, and ordinary horses can only become war horses after strict training and careful care.
Now Xianbei people don't need war horses, they can exchange for important living materials such as salt, iron and food, which Xianbei people go back to bother to breed war horses?
Wouldn't it be beautiful to catch some wild horses and get some horses to exchange for all kinds of materials that are not available on the grassland in Dawei!
What is the difference between the Xianbei people who have left the war horse and the children to Dawei!
While the mutual market between Great Wei and Xianbei was in full swing, Lin Chuan and Chen Yuan were also chatting in the study room of the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion.
"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, after the continuous improvement of the R&D center and the continuous experiments of the production base, now this glass mirror can finally be mass-produced!"
Chen Yuan took the latest batch of glass mirror samples and said happily to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan took the sample in Chen Yuan's hand and found that the quality was really good, so he praised Chen Yuan:
"Master Chen, well done! Ben Hou didn't expect that the R&D center could overcome various problems in mass production of glass mirrors in less than two months, which is very good! ”
Chen Yuan, who heard Lin Chuan's praise, was also very proud, the R&D center is now completely on the right track, and the R&D strength is gradually improving.
"Thank you Lord Hanzhong Hou for your love, Chen Yuan is fortunate not to be dishonored!"
Chen Yuan said to Lin Chuan.
The glass mirror, that is, the glass mercury mirror, is the next main product of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce developed by Lin Chuan to Chen Yuan.
Now that Lin Chuan has confirmed the quality of the mass-produced glass mirror, he asked Chen Yuan to take himself to the production base to actually take a look.
Then Lin Chuan and Chen Yuan came to the glass production base outside Hanzhong City.
In the glass production base, a new glass mirror production line has been built, and small batches of production work have begun.
Under the leadership of Chen Yuan, Lin Chuan carefully watched the entire production and manufacturing process of the glass mirror, and found that each process had strict standards, so he nodded with satisfaction.
"Master Chen, now we can start mass production of glass mirrors, this is the fist product we will focus on next spring, no woman can resist the power of glass mirrors!"
After inspecting the glass mirror assembly line, Lin Chuan solemnly instructed Chen Yuan.
"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, please rest assured, I have already mentioned the new glass mirror production base to Lord Jiang, and the site has been leveled, and it will be completed within this month. And the corresponding craftsmen have also begun to recruit and train, as long as the glass mirror production base is completed, it can be put into production immediately! ”
Chen Yuan, who had already made sufficient preparations, said confidently to Lin Chuan.
