Chapter 309: Take the initiative to show favor
After Xuanwei left, Mu Qinxue said weakly: "My grandfather is a serious man in the military, but outside the military, he doesn't ...... If there are any more unexpected words and deeds, you should bear with them? ”
Liang Xiao was stunned: "What is the specific unexpected method?" ”
"It's ...... anyway Very unexpected~"
Liang Xiao seemed to be smiling, looking at Mu Qinxue's squirming appearance.
Didn't the girl realize that she herself was quite unexpected?
Mu Qinxue met Liang Xiao's gaze, and couldn't help blushing, and said no more.
However, the old marquis of Dingguo is indeed worthy of his respect.
The reason why Youzhou Don't Drive Ram Special is because the Marquis of Dingguo personally led the troops to guard Jixian, the capital of Youzhou.
Otherwise, if he killed Ram Te's beloved son Ram Lei, it would be impossible for the other party not to come to Yanzhou to make trouble.
Youzhou, Jixian County, in the courtyard south of the northern military camp.
Mu Lingxiao looked at the official document in his hand with an excited face.
The woman sitting opposite was gentle and a little charming, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, looking at Mu Lingxiao with affection, so beautiful and soft.
The first talented woman in Liaodong, Aqi.
"Madame! Our future brother-in-law has two sons, Yanzhou is so chaotic, he has set things right! Mu Lingxiao slapped the table, his face red with excitement.
"Oh, I've heard that the Marquis of Lanling is already recognized as a Great Zhou poet immortal at a young age." Aqi said polite words, but in fact he didn't care.
"However, Xiaoxue marrying such a man is also a match made in heaven." Speaking of Mu Qinxue, Ah Qi instantly cheered up, her eyes were full of tenderness, like a loving mother.
On the other hand, Mu Lingxiao was originally elated, but at this moment, his eyes had turned into dead fish eyes: "It's Liang Xiao's misfortune, my sister has inherited my grandmother perfectly, she has infinite strength, and she has violent tendencies, but she usually hides it well......"
But soon, he met the gaze of his beloved wife.
Her gaze was gentle, but it made Mu Lingxiao feel like she was on pins and needles.
"Xiaoxue, that's called cute~" Aqi said with a serious face.
"Is it cute?" Mu Lingxiao frowned.
"Isn't it cute?" While asking rhetorically, Aqi leaned in slightly.
Mu Lingxiao's expression changed, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Cute!" My sister is the cutest......"
Ah Qi finally smiled, and thousands of flowers competed for beauty, but she couldn't beat her delicate face.
At noon, a Guanlong caravan also came to visit Taishoufu.
Qin Baili learned that the other party was appointed by the nobles of Guanlong, and immediately sent someone to inform Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was in the courtyard, listening to Mu Qinxue playing the piano with the girls, very comfortable, and suddenly received a notice, so he could only regret stopping and rushing to the lobby.
In the lobby, Chang Feng, the representative of the caravan, and others were quite anxious.
Until Liang Xiao entered the door, Chang Feng immediately got up and said hurriedly: "Marquis Lanling, on behalf of the Guanlong Chang family, the Lin family, and the Wang family, I have come to visit, hoping to talk to you about Yanzhou's business." ”
After Liang Xiao invited the other party to take a seat, he asked for details.
The Guanlong aristocracy, represented by the three strongest families, this time represented by Chang Feng of the Chang family, was fully responsible for trade matters.
The Guanlong nobles hoped to expand their commerce in Yanzhou and operate legally, but it did not involve rice, salt and iron, and at the same time they were willing to sell some ordinary military horses to Yanzhou.
The west of Guanlong is also a horse farm, rich in military horses, but it is not easy to sell out, and even buys good horses from horse merchants in the Western Regions.
Liang Xiao has successively obtained tens of thousands of military horses from horse merchants in the Western Regions, but this does not mean that there is no shortage of military horses in the Great Zhou.
On the contrary, double the number of military horses, preferably heavy ones, is also needed.
Many of the military horses of the Great Zhou court and the Bashu army were purchased from the Guanlong region.
It can be said that the willingness of the Guanlong nobles to sell military horses is very face-saving.
Taking the initiative to come to the door to sell military horses may be the first time, and it is of great significance.
Because the buyers are not only the Great Zhou court and Bashu, the number of military horses is limited, and selling them to Yanzhou means that other buyers will buy less......
"Mr. Chang is here for a while, and I have to discuss this matter with my colleagues."
After Liang Xiao left Chang Feng, he summoned everyone to go to the side hall to inquire.
"Do you think, why did Guan Long take the initiative to sell military horses? Is it the overflow of the number of military horses, or is it ......"
Lin Xiu was the first to speak: "Guanlong's military horses have never overflowed, after all, the annual demand for the imperial court is not small, if there is no horse merchant in the Western Regions, it may not be enough to only let the nobles of Guanlong supply the imperial court." ”
"I also think that this is the Guanlong nobles taking the initiative to show goodwill, and the other party seems to have expected that the Marquis of Lanling wanted to form cavalry, after all, you have acquired a lot of good horses from the Western Regions, and this kind of thing can't be hidden." After Qin Xun agreed, he speculated, "I believe that the Marquis of Lanling is also suspecting that the military horses of the rebel rangers in northern Hebei may be provided by the nobles of Guanlong and the horse merchants of the Western Regions." ”
Qin Baili glanced at Qin Xun meaningfully and said, "It's not impossible!" In short, the Guanlong nobles took the initiative to sell horses, which was beneficial and harmless to the Marquis of Lanling, after all, the initiative was in the hands of the Marquis of Lanling. ”
"But I have recently purchased a lot of military horses for the imperial court, bought back farmland, and spent a lot of money, and then purchased these military horses, which is not a small pressure on the imperial court."
Qin Xun reminded: "If the Marquis of Dingguo also supports this matter, there will be no problem. It is urgent to fight against Beihu, after all, Beihu is the emperor, and he will inevitably invade our country in order to establish his authority over the Beihu tribes. ”
Everyone cast approving glances at Qin Xun, and they all agreed.
Liang Xiao glanced at Qin Xun and said with a smile: "That's reasonable." ”
After everyone came back, Liang Xiao said to Chang Feng: "How many of these military horses are there, can they be kept for Yanzhou?" ”
"Four thousand, cavalry can be used, but there are still three thousand five hundred horses left in the Guanlong Horse Farm, which can be kept for the Marquis of Lanling!" While Chang Feng replied, the tone of the last sentence was extremely heavy to show emphasis.
Liang Xiao nodded and said, "The five hundred horses, if there is no problem, Yanzhou will ask for it." Another 3,500 horses, waiting for the approval of the superiors. In addition, Yanzhou welcomes several of you to invest in the industry, revitalize the economy, and benefit each other. ”
Chang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Xiao asked again: "I don't know who Guan Long proposed to trade with my Yanzhou?" ”
Chang Feng said bluntly: "Lin Shi, the son of the Lin family! ”
Everyone was stunned.
The Guan Long Lin family is the main think tank among the Guanlong aristocracy.
After sending Chang Feng away, Lin Xiu said happily: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Lanling!" Guanlong's initiative to trade is bound to the interests of our Yanzhou, which is an excellent signal. Either there is a situation in Guanlong, or the pressure of Beihu on the Guanlong area has increased sharply! ”
Liang Xiao nodded with a smile, thoughtful.
Guan Long is quite far away from Yanzhou, and he can't understand the local situation in real time.
The other party's business projects do not involve the life of the people, which is obviously full of sincerity.
At present, it is still necessary to befriend the Guanlong nobles and concentrate on dealing with Beihu and the domestic rebels.
The land of Bashu.
The young handsome man sent by the nobles of Guanlong to support the Gongsun family has been in Shu for many days.
