Chapter 172: Seeking Food and Commerce
Zhang's questioning made everyone fall silent again. Obviously, in Kaifeng and Huayang, it is difficult to buy enough food by commercial means. The army consumes food, hundreds of thousands of stones a day, which is definitely beyond the reach of the three or five merchants. Without the input of administrative forces, it is almost impossible to solve the problem.
The hope that I had just seen was quickly punctured, and everyone's mood was a little low. In the end, Xinling Jun said: "Although everything is complicated, it still belongs to King Han." Zhang Yu nodded yes and said, "Sending Zheng Guo is also urgent." β
Xin Lingjun said: "When will the rear team arrive?" β
Zhang Yu looked into the distance and said, "Be the best!" β
Zheng Anping lay on the ground, listened to his ears, and said, "The car is here!" β
Xinlingjun said: "Mr. Zhang has rectified his ranks, but he has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey it." β
Zhang Yu saluted and asked Zheng Anping to take back the military pawns and Zhu Tang. He also ordered the coachman to put the car in order. The place began to get busy. Zhang Yu took the air and said to Xinling Jun: "Huayang has four car dealers, three are here, how can you care?" β
Xinling Jun said: "Why is the Yu family? β
Zhang Yu said: "The Lu family car dealership, for the Lu Bo people, there is a car here, and everything is entrusted to the Lu family. β
Xin Lingjun looked at Er Lu twice and said, "I don't think Mr. can do this." β
Lu Bo hurriedly explained: "The Huayang Lu clan is far away from the Yi clan, and it is also the Luoyi tribe; Our tribe, the Luqi tribe also. β
Xinling Jun said: "I hope Mr. will tell you the details." β
Lu Bo said: "I Lu is the prince of the tooth branch and leaf." Taigong Zuo Wenwu, meritorious service, sealed in Yingqiu. In the rebellion of the three eunuchs, the Taigong was in the east, the Zhaogong was in the west, and the three dukes were in the town, and the three dukes became the king, and then Shao Zhou Xu. Although the Lu family sealed the camp mound, Feng Ho still has the remnants of the king of Zhou, and there is a temple to worship it. The change of the Youwang, the Lu Qianluo of Feng Hao, there is no worship; And Qi Lu was finally replaced by the Tian family, and the Lu family temple was destroyed. When the temple of Qilu Zong was destroyed, it was rumored in the clan that Luolu had a Gui lineage, which could be relied on to rejuvenate the clan. but not with their own ears. Today, Huayang Lu suddenly showed me Yigui, and Gai Luo Lu also. β
Xinling Jun saluted and said: "Mr. Buyi is the son of Wangmen, and he is rude." β
Lu Bo said: "How dare you be cheap." I hope that the name of the prince will not be mentioned again, insulting the lintel, defiling the ancestors, and increasing the sin of humility. β
Xinling Jun said: "Mr. also wants to light the lintel of the door, why is it difficult!" β
Lu Bo said: "Although the grace of the ancestors, the virtue is not appropriate, and I dare not think about it." Although Huayang Lu's show his strength, he is actually suspicious and cannot be determined. May you not care. β
Xinling Jun said: "Famous families, the foundation of our generation's hard work, what is the resignation of Mr." β
Lu Bo said: "If the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done." The contempt clan is not the Lu clan, it is not its ghost, so why is it arrogant. β
Xinling Jun said: "Sir, this is right, and you can be taught." β
Lu Bo said: "Huayang car dealership is very wide-ranging, and Huayang Wei also has a relationship. The king can join forces to help. β
Xinling Jun said: "I wish to inherit Mr. Tail." β
In the middle of the conversation, the sound of roller carts gradually came, and the local five-ride ox cart and one leather cart were also ready and stopped. All the guests gathered around Xinlingjun to greet him ten zhang away. The leader of the rear team was Uncle Wei Yuan, followed by a Tang clan. Xin Lingjun said his hard work, and on the one hand, he ordered the team to set off, and on the other hand, asked Wei Yuan to still command the rear team not to stop and continue to move forward. Wei Yuanjian saw that the two teams were combined into one team, and hurriedly returned to the rear team, reassigning the soldiers to protect the entire team. Xin Lingjun observed all this in the queue, was very satisfied with Wei Yuan's performance, and exchanged an approving look with Zhang Yuan. When Wei Yuan returned to him after the assignment, Xinlingjun took him to the leather cart and said, "Uncle Zhu should take care of him before and after, and he would rather not work hard." Seeing that there is a leather car, you can divide the labor. β
Wei Yuan was shocked: "How dare you be humble, don't kill your ministers." β
Xinling Jun said: "Where the function is, I wish you don't resign." β
Zhang Yu said beside him: "The general's order must not be violated." β
Seeing this, Wei Yuanjian had to salute loudly: "Wow! β
Xinlingjun's doormen all got out of the car, Wei Yuan called the two of them from the queue to drive, and he also got into the car, but he didn't hesitate, galloped away, and commanded back and forth. Xinling Jun said: "If you don't suppress it, you can be dignified, and there is such a person in the military soldiers." β
Zhang Yu said: "The minister will visit and report it." β
Lu Bo left quietly, and soon brought Bai Gen, LΓΌ Buwei, Chen He, and Ba Zai to Xinling, but he didn't say that it was Xinling Jun, but only said that it was the head of Wei Ying. Xinlingjun saluted one by one and said: "The military situation is like fire, I hope that the public will be anxious for the country and close to justice, and after the matter is over, they will not dare to owe anything." β
Bai Gen was obviously the leader, and came forward and said: "Weishu and others take cars as their business, and they dare not quit if they have a life." May the general observe it. β
Xinling Jun said: "I want the business of the princes themselves to supply the military needs, and I am willing not to give up." β
Bai Gen said: "I would like to hear the general's order." β
Xinling Jun said: "Huayang transports grain to Qin, and the princes know it. May the public transport grain to Wei, what can I do? β
Bai Gen said: "But I have a life, and I don't dare to resign." Willing to hear it. β
Xinling Jun said: "All public businessmen must know the way to buy grain." I will pay a great price, and I hope you will help me. β
Bai Gen pondered for a moment and said, "Fang will harvest this autumn, and the grain and rice will be returned to the warehouse, or if there is a surplus, it will be just right." Only cash is needed, and the four towns are good. β
Xinlingjun said: "But it will be supported by the counter, and the matter will be clear." β
Bai Gen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "The general's order should not be resigned. However, if we make a small profit, it may be difficult to succeed. β
Lu Bo said: "Although the humble has no long things, I am willing to help him with money." β
Bai Gen said: "The Lu family has been in the business for a long time, and regards money as nothing, not as good as us, and is trapped in one place to make a living with small profits. β
LΓΌ Buwei said: "Since Lu Bo is in business, he must know the tricks and tell the truth. We are all ordinary businessmen, although we go in and out with Huayang Wei, we rely on him for food, not their kind. Lu Boqi has no worries. β
Lu Bodao: "The humble body is in the commercial house, raising food for Wei, but there is a fee, all in a certain body." β
Bai Gen said: "In the opinion of the gentleman, how much does it cost? β
Lu Bo said: "I want to hear Brother Bai's opinion, and my brother doesn't dare to resign." β
Bai Gen quickly exchanged glances with Chen and Ba Er, and said, "The Qin people collect sixty yuan of grain and stone. In terms of a human eclipse, 100,000 people a day and 100 stones, and four cars; Take the straw day and a half stone, the husband three, the husband day bucket, the two stone straw straight one twenty dollars, twelve buckets and ten dollars. In this way, 6,000 dollars a day is strange. β
Lu Bo said: "Brother Bai is worth it at the price of the Qin people, and it is too much. Compete with younger brothers, one gold per day for 10,000 people, what is it? β
Bai Gen said: "The army has passed, and there is no surplus food at home. snatching food from the population, sixty dollars of stone is not enough. β
Lu Bo still had to argue, and Xinling Jun said: "Brother Bai has worked hard, and he has no way to repay him, so he is willing to take the value of his brother." Then he took off a jade pendant from his belt, handed it to Bai Gen and said: "In the military, it is difficult to do anything, and I am willing to take this pendant as a hostage, and I will not lose my trust." β
Bai Genhu took the jade pendant suspiciously, stroked it slightly, and immediately bowed down and handed it back, saying, "Son, this thing, Wei Shu doesn't dare to accept it." Lu Bo admired in his heart, Bai Gen only touched it, that is, he knew that this jade pendant could not be possessed by the prince, and his knowledge was unique.
Xinling Jun said: "Why is Brother Bai like this? β
Bai Gen didn't dare to get up, bowed down and said, "The son ordered it, and Wei Shu didn't dare to disobey it." Wei Shu and others will sweep the court and serve, and they will do their best. β
Chen He and Ba Zai saw that Bai Gen was in front of him and after Gong, they were all human spirits, and they knew that there must be a reason for it, so they all bowed down and said: "Wei Shu and others will do their best to serve Wei." LΓΌ Buwei followed behind and bowed, but did not speak.
Xinling Jun said: "The princes work hard for the king, and the king will not bear it." I am afraid that it will be difficult to believe, so I use this as a quality to show his faith. There is no doubt about it. β
Bai Gen said: "Gongzi's faith and righteousness are well-known in the world, and Weishu and others are all heard. If you are afraid to do everything you can't, how dare you take the question. β
As soon as these words came out, the other three families didn't know who the young man in front of them was, and they bowed down and said: "We are all willing to worship, dare not do our best, and may the son not worry." β
Xinling Jun said: "All the justices are righteous, and they know everything." This Pei Dan sent to the office, and Rong was ransomed with gold. β
Bai Gen said: "This is an extraordinary thing, and Wei Shu and others have not dared to look at it, let alone store it." This is a great deal. β
Xin Lingjun took the jade pendant in confusion, and glanced at the somewhat hazy moonlight, feeling that it was just an ordinary round bi, with a half-moon-shaped jade pendant below, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, for some reason, Bai Gen seemed to recognize his identity as soon as he passed his hand. But seeing that Bai Gen and the others didn't seem to be pretending to shirk, he no longer insisted, and casually hung the jade pendant on the belt again, and said: "The princes have a life, and they dare not resign." But if you have what you need, you should serve. β
Bai Gong said: "I am willing to serve the power of death." β
Zhang Yu said: "Wei has the help of the princes, how fortunate is it." The general will ask the king for praise. β
Bai Gong said: "Don't dare to ask for ears." β
Zhang Yu said: "Lu Bo played the military order to raise grain, but the princes have needs, and Lu Bo will respond." β
Lu Bo immediately bowed down and said, "I have a lot of help from my brothers, and I don't dare to forget it." But after the military affairs are completed, he should be rewarded. The matter of grain and straw, the army is also big, and I am willing to plan it carefully with my brothers. With a clasp of his hands, he invited all the heads of the family to another place, away from Xinlingjun and the others, and discussed the details of raising food with Lu Zhong.
Xinlingjun took off the jade pendant again and asked Zhang Yu: "What is the wonder of this pendant, which makes the Bai family recognize the identity?" β
Zhang Yu said: "The jade is admired by the gentleman, and those who wear jade are not concubines." And the admiration of the king is a group of jade, which is run through beads and silk, and must be owned by the royal family. The family of King Wei is not the king, so he can say "son" in one word. β
Xinling Jun said: "Yes." A mistake is made, so there is a loss. β
Zhang Yu said: "Although there is a loss, it is better to have nothing." When the lord of the three elements saw this, he knew that he was a son, and there was no difficulty, and he was enthusiastic to serve, and he was also blessed. β
Xinling Jun said: "If this is the case, I can also be a little lighter." In Mr.'s opinion, the grain is paid to the car dealership, but what? No, too? β
Zhang Yu said: "If there is Lu Bo, it will be harmonious." But not for long. According to the usual calculation, a husband often has a surplus of 45 stones, which is now worth the autumn harvest, and the surplus grain is still there, which can be obtained at a heavy price. Huayang to Kaifeng, tens of thousands. 500 stone a day, but 20 days. Beyond that, it's unbearable. β
Xinling Jun said: "The same is true of the Qin people, won't it last? β
Zhang Yu said: "This minister is very worried, but has no good plan. If you have Han help, you can't do anything. β
Xinlingjun said: "Doctor Sujia and Han Bushen, this is also an opportunity." β
Zhang Yu said: "The army is decided, that is, it will send an envoy to Daliang, join the Mang's family, determine diplomacy, and ask for its help." β
