"Yang Chuan, the salt, spices and refined iron we shipped over are almost sold out."

"There are also meat, poultry and eggs, because they can't be stored for a long time, they are almost out of stock."

"It will take eleven or twelve days for the next batch of materials to be delivered, or should we use the inventory of Taishou Mansion to deal with it urgently?"

On this day, Cao Xiang hurried to Taishou Mansion with a roar, and as soon as they met, he was shocked and scolded Yang Chuan for being too dark, and before the business road was completely opened, a new city in Lintao was full of people.

"It's not okay to go on like this, our profits are too thin," Cao Xiang lay flat on the mazazi, sighed and said: "Our goods went out of Xianyang, bumpy all the way, transported to this Longxi County, just don't make a penny, you have to sell it to people at a low price on dog days, how much do we have to lose if we go on like this?" ”

Yang Chuan glanced at Cao Da straw bales and said quietly: "What about our restaurants, tea shops, restaurants and kilns?" Lost money too? ”

Cao Xiang was silent.

Only he knew in his heart that the restaurants, tea shops, restaurants and kilns scattered in the eleven counties of Longxi County were about two or three hundred, of which seven or eight out of ten were the properties of him and Yang Chuan.

Salt, spices, chickens, ducks, geese, poultry eggs, salted fish, refined iron and other businesses have lost money.

But other businesses made a lot of money, and after the businesses on both sides canceled each other, the two of them still made a lot of money and food after all.

It can be said that in today's Longxi County, the business in the catering sector has actually been controlled by Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang as early as a year or two ago.

Of course, all this was carried out in an extremely secret way, and even Liu Man, Zhiniang, Zhang Anshi, Huo Guang and others had never heard of it......

"Your uncle is staring at each of us, and he knows everything about each of our businesses," Yang Chuan lay down comfortably on Ma Zazi, and said indifferently: "There is one sentence that you are right, that is, it is not right that our business has been losing money, and it will make people feel abnormal." ”

"Because, since it is a businessman, there are buying and selling, there are losses and gains, but since you have become a businessman, you must take seeking high profits as the main goal."

"That's good, from tomorrow, you will pretend that your business is losing money and will not deliver goods to Longxi County."

"Then, let's make a big fuss, so that the emperor thinks that we haven't made any money, so that he doesn't think too much in his heart, how about it?"

Cao Xiang bared his teeth and scolded with a smile: "With the acting skills of the two of us, if you want to act in front of my uncle, it is estimated that it is still far away." ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't say anything.

Since he has been a teacher for a few years, he has found a very interesting thing, that is, people all over the world, as long as they become students, regardless of men and women, young and old, the temperament of the whole person will change wonderfully, and those who were originally very stable will also become cowardly.

Even, bad cowardice.

On the contrary, a person, regardless of his temperament and knowledge, once he regards himself as a teacher, when facing his students, he often has an inexplicable feeling: 'Be a teacher.' ’

Therefore, on the day of the wedding, when he faced the three little women, Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Toya, he was very embarrassed, and he always had a sense of 'people are too familiar to start'......

Correspondingly, the relationship between the emperor and his courtiers is roughly the same.

The emperor is high and has a full view of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even if the ministers have some very subtle actions, they will often be seen and remembered by the emperor, just waiting for the right time to clean you up.

So, play with the emperor.

It's better to be free.

"Yang Chuan, salt, seasoning, meat, poultry and eggs, etc., we can find a way to transport them from Chang'an City, but this fine iron is running out, it's time to think of a way."

Cao Xiang scratched his huge head vigorously, and said a little unwillingly: "It's a pity, there are no decent mines here in Longxi County, otherwise, in the past few years when you have been the Taishou, our two families will be able to make a lot of money." ”

There are no decent mines in Longxi County?

Yang Chuan smiled but did not speak.

The gold mines in Longnan, the silver mines and copper mines in silver, the coal mines and oil in Pingqing, over the Qilian Mountains, the entire Hexi Corridor is either iron ore or aluminum ore, by the way, and Jinchuan, which was later known as the nickel capital, is known as the world's first!

As for the salt mines, Yang Chuan alone knows that there are three or four places that produce salt, such as the lake salt produced by Qinghai Lake, which can be eaten by the Han Empire for more than one or two thousand years......

In the eyes of others, Longxi County, Hexi Corridor, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the distant Western Regions are simply a treasure land of feng shui in Yang Chuan's heart.

"We can do whatever we need to do in our business, but we have to find a way to make some money without the price of goods rising too much, otherwise, the emperor will suspect that there must be something wrong with it."

Yang Chuan thought about it, and still told a few words: "After a while, I will find a way to find a salt mine here, so that your salted fish will not have to be transported to the northwest, the cost is too great, and I won't make a ......profit."

……

In special times, everything is simple.

Seeing that the army was about to be pulled out, and an unprecedented war was still waiting for Huo Qubing and his 3,000 Yulin orphans, Yang Chuan's 'package plan' in Longxi County was carried out in an orderly manner, and he did not leave behind the infrastructure, agriculture and money-making business because of the war.

The opening of Shouyang Academy is nearing completion.

Yang Chuan's pace of life has finally slowed down.

Teach, educate, and when appropriate, knock the three little women who are a little floating at every turn; Receiving gifts, meeting guests, and occasionally taking Sister Leopard and Silly Eagle to the nearby Shouyang Mountain to play, it is very pleasant.

This is the truth of life.

The key is that it is too boring, thinking about intrigue with people all day long, it is better to prepare and calculate in advance, and get things done in one fell swoop.

On the ground in Longxi County, it gradually stopped.

Dozens of branches of the Li family have obtained huge benefits in the hands of Yang Chuan, and they are both titles and mansions, and the vast majority of the children of the disciples have entered Shouyang Academy to study, and after three or five years, they can be mixed up with an official and a half-job, which can be said to have a bright future.

Therefore, the promotion of Yang Chuan by the big dog here is also sincere, as long as he has needs, under normal circumstances, he is often responsive.

Those young people of the old Li family were also very competitive, and when they went to school in the very prosperous Lintao New Town, they quickly learned a lot of useless knowledge......

"Yang Chuan, your trick is very clever."

On this day, Yang Chuan, who had nothing to do, and the idle Dachangmen Cui Jiu drank in a restaurant, looking at the clean and tidy streets, those children surnamed Li were all green shirts and long sleeves, elegant and graceful, and when they passed a hook fence, they were teased by a group of beautiful young ladies, Cui Jiu The old thief praised and scolded with a smile: "The Li family in Longxi has always paid attention to farming and reading to pass on the world, and martial arts have become a style. ”

Yang Chuan glanced at the teenagers downstairs, and said casually: "If Uncle Cui Jiu doesn't like it, he will close Shouyang Academy when he turns around." ”

Cui Jiu sighed, shook his head very rarely, and smiled bitterly: "It's old in the end." ”

"Back then, Emperor Jing had the idea of sending a few county guards to the land of the six counties, and wanted to slowly weaken the influence of the famous families in the land of the six counties, but only your father-in-law, Zhidu, after arriving in Yanmen and Dingxiang, encouraged farming, trained county soldiers, and suppressed those big dog families who couldn't raise their heads."

"You also know the final result, the Eagle Zhi of the Han Dynasty was forced to death by the Empress Dowager Dou."

"Now, what you are doing in Longxi County is really a bit like your father-in-law Zhidu back then, Yang Chuan, don't you learn from the old boy who has no interest in Zhidu, he was calculated, but he drew his sword and wiped his neck."

Listening to the rare sigh of the old thief, Yang Chuan's eyes flashed, staring at Cui Jiu's two light gray eyes very seriously, and asked, "Uncle Cui Jiu, what does the emperor think?" ”

Cui Jiu shook his head slightly: "You'd better not speculate on the emperor's thoughts, you just need to do your own thing." ”

Yang Chuan was full of slander, not letting him speculate on the emperor's thoughts, and turning himself into a headless fly to run around, not to be used as a mallet in the end......

On that day, one old and one young drank three pots of tea and talked a lot.

When it was nearly dusk, Cui Jiu finally put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up, stood at the window of the teahouse, looked at the northwest and west with great hesitation, and asked softly: "Yang Chuan, three days later, they will go to the sick and Cao Xiang will go on the expedition, and your weapons and grain may last for five months?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head: "There are only three months of grain." ”

The old thief suddenly looked back, visible to the naked eye, and a cold and murderous aura flashed on his pale and blue old face: "Didn't you say that you could guarantee the weapons and food of the three thousand Yulin Army for five months?" ”

Yang Chuan said lightly: "I'm talking about 10,000 soldiers and horses, three months of grain. ”

Cui Jiu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Chuan also stood up, stretched his waist, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously: "Uncle Cui Jiu, do you think that the orphans of the Three Thousand Feather Forest can sweep the Hexi Corridor and level the Western Regions, right?" ”

Cui Jiu said expressionlessly: "The war on the northern front is tight, and the imperial court has no troops to support it, the emperor's intention is to use the private troops of the Li clan in Longxi......"

Yang Chuan asked quietly: "Didn't we say last time that the Li clan's private soldiers can't participate in the war?" ”

Cui Jiu: "This is what the emperor meant. ”

Well, since it is the emperor's meaning, it means that he didn't say anything, and what you said is right.

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "I'm just a small county guard, strategizing and leading troops to fight, this is something you consider, I am only responsible for preparing grain and grass for you." ”

Cui Jiu put down the next sentence, 'You will know in three days', and turned to leave.

Leaving Yang Chuan alone, he was very depressed.

Why did he think that Liu Che, who was far away in Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, didn't hold back any good fart, and wanted to set him up this time......

……

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Yang Chuan finally understood what kind of fart Liu Che was holding back this time.

Li Guang is here.

With this legendary 'Elk Marquis', as well as his three hundred parts, as well as the five hundred elite iron horsemen of the imperial court, just one glance, Yang Chuan knew that the five hundred elite iron horsemen were veterans of the Northern Army battalion, looking old, loose and saggy, and there was not much joy, anger and sorrow on everyone's face, a typical old killer.

This was the first time he had seen Li Guang, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

I saw that this big man 'Elk Marquis' was nine feet tall, with a black and red face, a sword hanging from his waist, the scabbard was made of cowhide, and it was carved with several agate stones, and there were several very simple gold silk ornaments, with a rusty iron armor, standing in front of Yang Chuan like a half-cut iron tower.

How to say it.

Li Guang, a flying general who was extremely famous in later generations, looked very honest and honest, with a black and red face, and thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like Li Kang, and it was really in the same vein.

However, as soon as he spoke, Yang Chuan's mood was not good.

This Li Guang, how can you say it.

It is very arrogant and rude.

When the two met for the first time, Yang Chuan thought to himself that although the title was prominent, he was still young after all, and when he saw this Uncle Li Guangda, he inevitably took two or three steps down the steps, and took the lead in laughing: "Longxi County guards Yang Chuan and has seen General Li." ”

Li Guang nodded casually, but turned to look at Cui Jiu on the side, and clasped his fists: "I've seen Dachangmen." ”

Cui Jiu's old thief arched his hand without saying a word, but his two eyes inadvertently glanced at Yang Chuan who was standing with his hands.

Li Guang was stunned and continued: "Dachangmen, the battle of Mobei is in full swing, it is a good opportunity for my military generals to make contributions and fight on the battlefield, why does Your Majesty want to transfer me back to Longxi?" ”

Cui Jiudao: "This is Yang Chuan, the Taishou of Longxi County. ”

Li Guang didn't even look at Yang Chuan, he still clenched his fists, and continued to ask with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "Da Changmen, Your Majesty's move is really incomprehensible, and I also ask Da Changmen to solve your doubts." ”

Cui Jiu was finally annoyed, and said lightly: "The emperor's will, let you come to Longxi County to cooperate with the Yulin army to fight, and fight against the Xiongnu Youxian King, the old man is just a crippled person in the palace, where do you know what the emperor means, or, you will go back to Chang'an City to ask, let the emperor solve your doubts for you?" ”

Li Guang's big black and red face suddenly became even more black and red, and faintly, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and the action of secretly biting the back molars was very obvious.

This unlucky guy is not small.

Yang Chuan took the initiative to say hello, but he was bored, but he was not very angry, turned back to his main seat, and slowly began to make tea for himself, too lazy to pay attention to Li Guang's iron and simple.

He also finally knew why this 'Great Han Elk Marquis' was loved by Emperor Jing and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he just didn't give him the title of marquis...... One of the reasons is too.

Iron-headed, arrogant, stubborn, and unsophisticated.

It can only be said that these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the Han Empire can really fight wars, but the only drawback is that their emotional intelligence is worrying......

"Li Guang, transferring you to Longxi County to cooperate with Huo Qubing to fight is the emperor's decision after careful consideration, as a general, you can just obey the emperor's orders, there is no need to say more or think more."

Dachangmen Cui Jiu slowly stood up and walked slowly towards the door, there was no expression on the old face, fine wrinkles, dense, with a faint layer of coldness, and said casually: "Fight this battle, you Li Guang may be able to seal the marquis, if you can't fight well, you better go back and be your Yanmen Taishou......"
