Chapter 291: Haizhou's New Situation

Xiao Hao and his party followed Yang Qianjun and marched side by side, the guards around Yang Qianjun were dutiful, but Yang Qianjun didn't care too much about the surrounding defenses. Yang Qianjun is a border general, and he has won all battles, of course he will not be a simple person! According to some existing information, Yang Qianjun can judge that these people around Xiao Hao must have purple qi scholars!

But in the face of such a master, Yang Qianjun didn't show a little restraint or anything like that, and Xiao Hao was talking and laughing! If it weren't for the murderous aura that he saw in his absolute vision, if it weren't for the scars on his face, who would have thought that this big man who looked a little bit gentle would be a general of a hundred battles.

Everywhere they passed along the way, the soldiers looked at Yang Qianjun with absolute admiration - no matter what, if you rush to the front in the battle, and you can handle a good thing, you are an excellent and respectable general!

"Sit casually, there aren't too many rules in the army. Yang Qianjun welcomed Xiao Hao and the others into one of his living rooms with a big grin, looking bold and free.

"Okay!" Xiao Hao found the nearest chair and sat down first. Talking to people in the military, especially these soldiers who have come down from the battlefield, no matter what they do, is very simple, and sometimes it is even more straightforward to communicate with these people.

After Xiao Hao sat down without hesitation, the rest of the people also found a place to sit down one after another, and seeing this, Yang Qianjun showed a satisfied smile on his face. It was Xiao Hao who spoke first and introduced a few people around him to Yang Qianjun, mainly Mo Xinfang and Han Yufeng, Lan Hai and Tu Yong all knew each other;

Yang Qianjun was also very interested and did not ask - some things should be like this, even if they are placed in front of them, they cannot "know". But even so. Yang Qianjun was still shocked! Dali Wang Court is not without Purple Qi Dongsheng (University Scholar), but you can see what age he is. The well-known purple qi master of the Dali royal court is the Confucian Kong Xiang, but this Kong Xiang is already seventy or eighty, and he has seen half of his body enter the earth - the time to enter the purple qi university is too late, so he no longer has much potential and lifespan.

And now. Sitting in front of Yang Qianjun, only Xiao Hao introduced five young purple qi masters: Han Yufeng, Mo Xinfang, Lan Hai, Tu Yong, and Yun'er, Xiao Hao used Han Zhishan's apprentice to introduce Yun'er - but Xiao Hao didn't point out who Han Zhishan was, just said that Yun'er was an apprentice of a Danxin master, that's all.

However, Yang Qianjun also understands people, the two middle-aged people in dark cyan patterned robes that Xiao Hao did not introduce must be masters of Danxin, and one of them is Yun'er's master. It is enough to know this! If the introduction is too detailed, the scene will be a little embarrassing.

After the introduction and exchange, Yang Qianjun suddenly bowed to Xiao Hao: "Young Master Xiao." On behalf of the 100,000 soldiers of Yanzikou, Yang thanked you for your help. ”

"General Yang is polite!" Xiao Hao shook his head, "It's everyone's responsibility to resist the invasion." The kid just wants to do his part. Also, the kid is not without a purpose, isn't this at least gaining the favor of General Yang at the moment. And those weapons are only sold at a low price, not for free.

The general's thanks, the kid didn't dare to accept it. ”

"Haha......" After listening to Xiao Hao's words, Yang Qianjun didn't explain much. But laughed with satisfaction. For Yang Qianjun, what kind of idea did Xiao Hao have. This old fox is clear, but Xiao Hao's ability to be honest makes Yang Qianjun extremely satisfied-this is really sincere.

In particular, the weapons sold by Haizhou to Yang Qianjun were almost only one-tenth of the market price, or even lower. For example, ordinary long knives, Xiao Hao sold them to the surrounding states for 20 taels of gold - and only exchanged for grain, and as the war progressed, grain became more and more expensive. Gold and silver, on the other hand, were worthless, and some swords in the Haizhou market could even be sold for a hundred taels of gold. What Haizhou sold to Yang Qianjun was only one or two taels of gold, and it didn't matter what kind of payment was used; whether it was minerals, grain, orbs, gold and silver, as long as it could be taken out.

Basically, Haizhou is being sold at real cost price.

But Haizhou does. First of all, many people say that Haizhou has half the credit for being able to hold the swallow mouth; and there is also that Haizhou was not very popular when it first rose, but now Haizhou's reputation is very good. These are all invisible interests, and these interests can sometimes pave the way for the rise of Haizhou!

Of course, there must be some people who hate Haizhou to the core, such as some of the forces that provided weapons to Yanzikou in the first place -- you must know that the money of the army is sometimes very profitable, as long as you can come up with something that satisfies the other party, the price is a secondary factor, and the money of the border army is especially easy to earn.

It's just that Haizhou suddenly intervened sideways, which made these forces distressed -- in fact, even if Haizhou's weapons were sold at cost price, they would be higher than the prices of some arms suppliers, but the quality was good, and the good ones were a mess! One long knife in Haizhou was enough to cut off more than a dozen ordinary long knives, and under such circumstances, any soldier knew how to choose.

As for the source of money? It is located at the border gate, the most important exchange port of the two countries, and there is no shortage of money! Especially at this time, when there is civil strife in the Dali royal court, the role of the border generals is revealed; neither the puppet Wang Shengqing, who is now leaving the royal court, nor the half-crippled Gyeongju Boshenggou, do not want anything to happen at the border pass! Therefore, in such an environment and in such a chaotic situation, Yang Qianjun and the defenders of Yanzikou did not suffer much.

With a common language, the two sides slowly talked more. According to Yang Qianjun, now Yanzikou is one of the key points of the Great Departure from the Royal Court, and it is one of the fortresses that everyone must keep.

"But...... The situation in Haizhou may be a little bad now!" At the last moment, Yang Qianjun suddenly came to such a sentence.

"Can you elaborate?" Xiao Hao did not panic, but was extremely calm, and there was no confusion in his thinking - this shows that Xiao Hao is really calm, not pretending.

Yang Qianjun looked at Xiao Hao for a long time before he nodded, not knowing what he was thinking, but he still spoke: "According to my current news, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Haizhou's monopoly on arms trading, and there are already people in the rivers and lakes who have colluded with several states to prepare to take Haizhou.

Before this, there were already some small actions in the dark, which should be temptation. According to the available information, they are preparing for a big move, and it is not even excluded that several surrounding states will send troops together.

Because of the guò trade, you Haizhou have accumulated a lot of food, wealth, and weapons and armor and other technologies that were very important in the war era, which are coveted by everyone. Your current wealth in Haizhou, even I have to be excited.

There are also some nobles in Haizhou, it is said that they are also doing internal responses, and they will make trouble behind Haizhou's back at a critical time.

This information is basically accurate. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Hao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, but finally had to shake his head, he didn't know the current situation in Haizhou, and there was no point in thinking about it here.

"Thank you, General, for telling me, perhaps, the boy needs to take his leave. ”

"Well, Haizhou is in turmoil now, and it is right for Xiao Gongzi to rush back as much as possible. However, if Xiao Gongzi rushes back like this, it is estimated that the road will not be peaceful, so why don't we wait for tomorrow to set off? Tonight, we will reorganize a team, mainly to Haizhou for arms trading, and escort you over by the way. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Hao immediately agreed. There are too many advantages of following the army to dispatch - first of all, a lot of trouble will be avoided along the way, which saves too much time; secondly, the two sides will go out together, and from a political point of view, the significance is too great - we are a family; of course, whether we can really become a family in the later stage depends on Xiao Hao's efforts!

The night was not quiet, and the night in the barracks and at the border gates was always filled with all kinds of trumpet sounds -- the sound of vigilance, the clash of weapons -- night combat drills, dull footsteps -- changing guards and patrols, and even the sound of earth-shattering snoring, loud conversations, and so on.

The first time I "enjoyed" such a night, even Han Zhishan and Han Changling were "insomnia". On the contrary, Yun'er slept peacefully. As for Xiao Hao, of course, he meditated, and by the way, he used his absolute vision to slowly reconnoiter the surrounding situation, analyze the soldier's conversation, and see if he could find something else.

Conversations between soldiers can often reveal a lot of things -- such as the views of Haizhou, the grassroots team, their evaluation and analysis of the coach, and so on, which is actually one of the reasons why Xiao Hao agreed to stay.

The night passed quietly, and Xiao Hao was probably able to determine that the defenders of Yanzikou were indeed grateful to Haizhou, and they were very grateful. According to them, Haizhou's swords and swords could be sold for thousands of taels of gold at their most expensive, but generally the ones sold outside were about 100 taels of gold; the weapons and swords that Yang Qianjun purchased from Haizhou were generally under three taels of gold; the iron-headed parts of arrows and spears were weighed in pounds -- for these weapons, because the transportation distance was too long, Haizhou only sold arrowheads, spearhead parts, arrow shafts, spear shafts, and the like, all of which were made locally at Yanzikou.

These weapons purchased from Haizhou were sturdy and sharp, which was by no means the best companions of the soldiers, and of course, almost all of them were very grateful to Haizhou. But there are always black sheep, Xiao Hao "saw" that some people were saying bad things about Haizhou, but such people were very rare, and they were often beaten; but Xiao Hao probably also saw it as a doorway -- Haizhou's weapon export seemed to cut off the financial route of these people.
