Chapter 29 Market Demand

"Hahaha!" Yu Feng laughed comfortably, at this moment, he understood what it means to "a big husband can't be without power for a day", seeing this thief leader with hundreds of people under his command begging forgiveness in front of him, and his life and death are just between his own thoughts, this feeling, how can it not be intoxicating.

Yu Feng's current net worth, the "ill-gotten gains" mentioned by the thief leader really didn't pay much attention to it, but since he had just enjoyed the feeling of killing and snatching this life, he might as well enjoy it for a while.

"Are you saying that you are satisfied by giving all your wealth, not to save your own life, but to save his life?" Yu Feng pointed at the emaciated boy. The young man trembled, looking at his age, he was really not much different from this thief, otherwise, Yu Feng would have suspected that this kid was his son.

Ants are still greedy for life, and if they can live well, who wants to die? Qiu Shi's mouth was secretly bitter, when these officers and soldiers outside rushed into Zhuangzi, he knew that he was in a catastrophe, when he was an officer and soldier, what kind of virtue he was, he knew very well, if he forcibly used the gold and silver he hid as a bargaining chip, trying to exchange for his own life, the biggest possibility was that he was tortured by them, the gold and silver were tortured, and then, his own life was not guaranteed. Without the head of his own leader, the merits of the officers and soldiers in this crackdown on bandits would have shrunk by at least more than half, and if it were him, he would have done so without hesitation.

In this case, it is better to give these useless gold and silver directly to the other party, and maybe he can exchange his life for this distant cousin next to him. Anyway, this is the best choice, if the officers and soldiers who lead the team are dark-hearted, then the family is unlucky, anyway, the worst result is just death, and the officers and soldiers rushed into the door and stabbed them to death with spears, not much different.

"I hope your lordship will have mercy!"

The soldiers around looked at Yu Feng, whether it was the spear before, or now they have changed their identities and become the officers and soldiers of the guard, they will not have any hesitation about Yu Feng's order, and now, as long as Yu Feng gives an order, these thieves will immediately get the account.

When Yu Feng stared at the mound crawling at his feet, he muttered slightly: "The cavalry that just charged our army formation, is it you training or the cavalry that has been gathered!" ”

Qiu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and the other party did not immediately ask about the gold and silver, but asked about the irrelevant cavalry, so the other party's intention to kill him was not so strong. At this moment, a person who knew that he was going to die suddenly saw a glimmer of hope for his life, where is there still a truth of not dying.

"It's trained by the villain, the villain turned out to be a small flag of the handsome horse team, and I still know some of these methods!"

Yu Feng asked this, it was not without purpose, just now the horse team attacked the army formation, although it did not cause much damage, one is that his subordinates are strictly disciplined, and the other is that the number of these cavalry is a little less, compared to the impact of the cavalry, the thickness of his military formation is still larger, but if the number of this cavalry is doubled, and the order is stricter, like his own subordinates, then it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Moreover, the cavalry has strong momentum, and if the frontal attack fails, it can immediately turn to the side and organize another attack, if its own flank is its own cavalry cover, then there is no need to mobilize a large formation and concentrate on dealing with the frontal enemy. To put it bluntly, Yu Feng was a little red-eyed, a broken Zhuangzi, there are dozens of cavalry, and he is dignified, no, he is a hundred households, and his subordinates are all foot soldiers, so how can people balance.

Seeing that Yu Feng was silent, Qiu Shi suddenly felt hopeful, and pointed to his relatives, "These people are all villains who are like brothers in the Japanese army, and they also have a hand in raising horses and taming horses!" ”

This mound was a horse team at the time, and these so-called military robes must also be a horse team, and they may have run out at the same time. Yu Feng hesitated, and he really didn't want to cut these thieves with one sword. If you were to train cavalry yourself, there was no doubt that these people would be of great help.

"It's not impossible to spare a few of your lives!"

Qiu Shi's face was overjoyed, and he didn't wait to say thank you, and Yu Feng's cold words were thrown over: "The gold and silver goods you said, all the money and goods you said are all taken out for me, and a few of you are in our army to serve me, if one of you escapes, all of them will sit together, and the head of the lord!" ”

"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace!" Qiu Shi and several people were ecstatic and kowtowed.

Yu Feng no longer paid attention to him, and the rest of the things were arranged by the people around him, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky with his eyes, the bloody remnant sun in the west was fighting with the night, struggling not to set the mountain, the slightest afterglow shone in this courtyard, it was a very strange feeling of tranquility, this day of killing, finally ended.

In July of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Yu Feng, the general banner of Lingshan Wei, was loyal and brave, and he was promoted to one hundred households in the guard.

In October of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou officially took over as the governor of the three sides and stationed in Shaanxi. After three years of operation, to Chongzhen six years, Shaanxi has become a forbidden place for the people's army, and the people's army from all walks of life have fled into Shanxi.

In February of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao served as the chief soldier of Shanxi, pursued and suppressed the 36th battalion of the People's Army Alliance in Shanxi, and the military power was blazing, and the thieves of Wutai, Yuxian, Dingxiang and Shouyang were all peaceful. Cao Wenzhao was evaluated by Hong Chengchou as: a good general in the world, unparalleled in the world. Zijin Liang, the leader of the People's Army, died of illness while fleeing, Lao Huihui was beheaded, and the 36th Battalion Alliance of the People's Army was disbanded.

In June of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the people's armies in Shanxi and Shaanxi basically disappeared, and the rest of the people went to Henan. It's a pity that although there is no Hong Chengchou in Henan, there is no Cao Wenzhao, and there is also a thief general Zuo Liangyu, who is a fierce man who is bright with Cao Wenzhao for a while, is not inferior to his colleagues, and the Changping army under his command is also chasing the people's army and beating it hard, and the court has reported successes again and again.

There is nothing to do outside the Guan, and the civil strife inside the Guanzhou will be calmed, and the Ming Dynasty finally has a trace of the taste of peace in the world.

False peace! Yu Feng threw aside the pen and ink in his hand and sighed. Beside him, Wu Yanran stared at her peach blossom eyes, looking at Yu Feng with a little puzzlement.

This is the study of Yu Feng's manor, and the woman who can have a seat in the study and discuss with Yu Feng is only Wu Yanran, even Yu Feng's lady, Xue Niang, who has never had this treatment.

"Isn't this transcription of the Di newspaper all good news? What are you sighing for? ”

It has been more than a month since Daxiazhuang suppressed bandits, and after returning to Zhaojia Village, he took over the post of Baihu smoothly, and now, he is also an officer with status, that is, the palace newspaper of the imperial court, although it cannot be directly transmitted to him, but there is no problem in transcribing a copy to him.

"This Hong Chengchou. Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu are all good and handsome generals for a while, if the court lets them fight, why is there any injustice in this civil unrest in the northwest? If you don't know Yu Feng's origin, listening to this is really like the heartfelt words of a loyal royal court military attaché of Feng.

"You have high ambitions, can we also guide you in the affairs of these governors and generals?" Wu Yanran pouted and said: "Anyway, we in Shandong, we don't have to worry about these homeless people, if these homeless people want to come over, they have to pass Zuo Liangyu's level first!" ”

really passed that level, but instead of coming to Shandong, he went to Sichuan, Yu Feng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. However, it seems a bit off-topic to continue to talk to Wu Yanran about such a topic, he asked Wu Yanran to come to the study, not to discuss the general trend of the world with her.

"Okay, don't talk about this, the cloth patrol sent someone and said that he wanted 20,000 catties of fine salt, what do you think?"

"Don't give it!" Wu Yanran said neatly.

"Don't give? Got money or not? The weapons, armor, and salaries of these sons and daughters under our command, as well as the horses that we recently collected from Qingzhou, are used like silver flowing every day, and now do you have any silver? Yu Feng wondered.

He has always adhered to the principle of professional things and handed over to professional people to do, after learning about Wu Yanran's talent, he let go of most of the business and production of salt affairs to Wu Yanran, only major things, he asked about it, and reached an agreement with the other party. At this point, it was clear that there was a difference of opinion between the two.

"Our fine salt workshop to make this batch of salt, it is enough for more than a month, and the coarse salt from the salt field in addition to the cost of supplying the workshop, but can no longer be sold, on the one hand is a mountain of coarse salt, on the other hand, it is unable to supply fine salt, which is not in line with the economy!"

Yu Feng blinked his eyes, and then tasted the meaning of Wu Yanran's words, daring, now fine salt is in short supply, and coarse salt is unsalable, although in the short term, the money is a lot more, but it is not good for Yu Feng's entire industrial chain, once the sales channel of fine salt is stuck in the neck, then Yu Feng will immediately have the danger of breaking the capital chain.

You still can't put your eggs in one basket! Yu Feng shook his head, I have to say, he began to miss the kind of bundled sales in later generations, if he can also come to such a hand, you buy one load of fine salt, you have to buy three more loads of coarse salt, where do you still have this unsalable worry.

Then just produce more fine salt, Yu Feng thought secretly.

"How about expanding the fine salt workshop a little more?" Yu Feng asked, as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong, after all, fine salt is for high-end customers, and at present, his own high-end customer market is basically in the hands of cloth inspection. Except for a small part of the salt goods sold to a few salt merchants led by the salt merchant surnamed Liu, most of them are sold through cloth inspection, so that others can control their own lives.

Sure enough, Wu Yanran shook her head, "This doesn't work, it's not a problem of production capacity, the problem is that we sell too little salt by ourselves, you know, most of the people who eat salt are still ordinary people, and this fine salt can't account for the majority of it!" ”
