Chapter 236: Thirteen Generals of Oil

When all the gods were asked by the goddess Hongyun like this, they couldn't predict whether Hu Zhen would pass on his experience.

The goddess of Hongyun said with a smile: "The second father of Hu Zhen, the rare treasure god dealer, has no reservations about An Zhi and Sanhuang, which has made An Zhi learn a lot. ”

In that year, Anzhi visited Hu Zhen during the Eight Meetings of Chao Ge La, which was the second year of Mu Zong's Changqing (822).

At that time, Hu Quan was 42 years old, and Hu Zhen had a son at the age of 19. is the same age as Huang Yao, and the birth month is a little older. At the age of sixteen, Hu Quan and his father went to the Western Regions, and for 26 years, they sold treasures from the Western Regions together.

His mother, Mrs. Liu, has two sons and three daughters. Hu Quan is the eldest son, the second mother, the third mother, and the fourth mother in the middle, and the youngest brother Hu Dong is twelve years older than An Zhi, and he is also thirty-four years old in the second year of Changqing.

Let's just say that Hu Dong is also powerful enough, he has also been in the Western Regions since he was sixteen years old, and he has followed his father and eldest brother to the Western Regions for eighteen years.

In the process of Hu Zhen's father and son breaking into the Western Regions, in the twelfth year after Wanguan helped the army, that is, in the seventh year of Wenzong Taihe (833), and also the second year of the death of Xue Ping, the eldest brother of the four towns of Qingzhou, Hu Zhen worshiped the five brothers in Khotan Town, one of the four towns of Anxi, and was known as the five elders of Khotan.

At this time, the commander of the Water Spirit Department rushed over, and the Kunbu Immortal Gu also followed.

Chang Du smiled: "I heard that you are talking about Anyang County Gonghu Zhen, and Ben Shuai is also very optimistic about this person, so he came to listen." Please go on. ”

The goddess of Hongyun waved her hand at Chang Dashuai and continued: "The five elders of Khotan, from the oldest to the youngest, are: Huazhou Hu Zhen, Yu Khotan Zhu Zhan, Shazhou Zhang Cao, Shule Guozhen, and Yizhou Li Han. At that time, Hu Zhen was 72 years old, and the youngest Li Han was also 60 years old. ”

Huazhou Hu Zhen, the word car branch, Anyang County Gong, needless to say, is a rare treasure dealer, the richest man in Huazhou.

Shule Zhu Zhan, whose name is Kaiping, was sixty-eight years old at the time. After the Anshi Rebellion, the grandson of Zhu Xin, who had been guarding Anxi for 14 years. The Zhu family has a soul chasing gun, and it wears Yang arrows in 100 steps, and its marksmanship and archery skills are wonderful. A large soul-chasing god general.

Zhu Zhan made a living selling Anxi raisins and piggybacking on the Khotanese jade business. The place traveled was vast, from Goryeo (now Korea) in the east to Shalan (now Jordan) in the west, and of course Korean ginseng and Shalan blankets were transported back to Khotan.

Shazhou Zhang Cao, the word Qianyi, was sixty-five years old. He is the father of Zhang Yichao and a veteran general of Shazhou. Good at making a golden back knife is also a family knife method. Pei Mingsha sword, this sword is the head of the sword of the West domain of Longyou. The tuba swordsman.

Zhang Bu mainly sells cattle and sheep skins, transporting raw skins from the Western Regions and Longyou Prefectures to Chengdu, and then trafficking cooked skins from Chengdu to Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou. Raw and cooked skins are profitable.

In Khotanguo Town, the word Huxi, was sixty-three years old. The second son of Guo Xin, the last protector of Anxi Prefecture, who succeeded Zhu Xin, was the great-grandfather of Shouzhou Thorn Shi Guo Jingzhi, grandfather Guo Ziyun, and uncle Guo Ziyi.

After the death of his father Guo Xin in the third year of Yuanhe (808), no one in the imperial court came to take care of the military and political affairs of Anxi, and the territory of Anxi was completely captured by Tibet. After that, Guo Zhen lived in seclusion in Shule Town, and trafficked Cistanche and Shule Town's specialty Jiashi melon all year round. Because Guo Ziyi was given the name Shangfu, his tuba is Shangfu's male eagle.

Chang Du exclaimed: "These people all have deep backgrounds, and they have become the richest people in the local area. So, what is the background of Li Han in Yizhou, the five elders of Khotan?"

The goddess of Hongyun continued to say the news she had discovered: "Yizhou Li Han, whose name is Yuxiang, is a descendant of Li Guangmiao, the general of the Great Han Fei, and Kung Fu is a family martial arts. ”

Wangyun, the commander of the Lu Ling Clan, was suddenly surprised: "Yo, Li Guang, who is respected by everyone, his descendants have appeared here. Quick, speak louder, and we'll all have to listen to it. ”

Goddess Hongyun smiled: "I also respect this person." This person is handsome and handsome, just like his ancestors. Good at making pear flower guns, arrows without missing shots. When a thief robs the road, he rushes straight in a single clothes. The head of the thief was either killed instantly, or he was shot down by a magic arrow. The thieves often meet them, and those who are far away will scatter in a hurry. Large Illustrated Illustration Gua God. ”

When the gods heard this, they all praised it.

Xishuai Zhang Ya praised: "Okay, Li Guang's magical martial arts have not been lost, and they are still inherited in Datang." ”

The goddess of Hongyun continued: "Li Han mainly sells Yizhou's specialty melons, which are the world-famous Yiwu melons today. The routes he trafficked mainly between Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule, and Khotan in the four towns of Yizhou and Anxi. ”

The caravans of Zhu Zhan, Zhang Cao, Guo Zhen, and Li Han often traveled in groups with Hu Zhen and his son, and met the most in Khotan. Therefore, Zhu Zhan's family in Khotan Town became friends of life and death.

That is to say, Hu Quan, Hu Dong and Zhang Yichao and all the sons of the five elders of Khotan are also brothers, but Hu Zhen got born early, and Hu Quan and Hu Dong are much older than Zhang Yichao.

The year when An Zhi visited the Duke of Hu was in the second year of Changqing (822), when Zhang Yichao was only twenty-three years old. is about the same age as An Zhi, only two years older than An Zhi.

It is precisely because Hu Zhen and his son have been running in the Western Regions all the year round that their vision is broader than that of ordinary people, and they know the scenery of the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty well, and they cherish and love the vastness of the Tang Dynasty even more. This kind of mind and courage are forged in this way, who can compare with it?

When it comes to how to make the oil business bigger? The second father, Hu Zhen, Hu Quan, and Hu Dong, all gave excellent suggestions. The trick is cross-border trade.

One is interstated. It is necessary to look as far as 3,000 miles, conduct field investigations, grasp the huge price difference, and then traffick. Of course, the oil traffic is no better than the treasure trafficking, and the treasure does not occupy much space, and a few burdens will leave and gallop through on horseback. Oil, however, requires a large ship to walk, and requires a lot of ship escort generals.

The second is cross-border. There are countless subject countries around Datang, and they organize large fleets to sail and traffic, which is more profitable, but also more risky. In addition to the wind and waves of rivers and seas, the main language barrier is to be equipped with interpreters. It is also necessary to have a large number of escort generals.

In the case of cross-border trafficking, it is also necessary to address the problem of returning empty ships after unloading large ships. Then it is necessary to find the goods suitable for the origin of oil in the trafficking destination in advance, load them back on the ship, and earn the profit of returning to the ship.

After some mention by the father and son of the Hu family, it was like an initiation, and the brothers and sisters of Sanhuang and Anzhi suddenly opened.

There is no shortage of people in the Yellow Mansion, and the general is not a problem. Nowadays, there are six people, including Sanhuang and You Tong, An Zhi, and Huang Gui, and there should not be too many heroes who are really capable of turning over the Huang generals in Qingzhou.

Plan before you act. Now that An Zhi and Sanhuang have been mentioned by Hu Gong, how did they earn a huge amount of money in the past 25 years?

An Zhi took his three elder brothers from Anyang County, Xiangzhou to Qiancheng County, Qingzhou, and during the Chinese New Year, he discussed a plan of action with his father Huang Yi, housekeeper Huang Gui, and Major General Huang Zhao.

After the New Year, that is, the beginning of the third year of Changqing (823), the couple of Anzhi and You Tong rode horses to the Chengdu area, and found that there was a lot of rapeseed oil here, and there was very little peanut oil and soybean oil.

This is a great business opportunity. Don't dare to slack off, return immediately. In this year, a large amount of funds began to be raised, and peanuts and soybeans were trafficked on a large scale from the eastern part of the Pinglu Army to the western part of Chengdu.

Until the second year of Zhang Yichao's uprising (848), their peanuts and soybeans were trafficked, both by land and water, all over Yizhou, Rongzhou, Yazhou, Jiezhou (i.e., Wuzhou), Liangzhou, and as far as Shazhou.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the world. The trick of price difference in different places really made the Huang family earn a huge fortune.

In particular, in the sixth year of Wenzong Taihe (832), the following year of Xue Ping's death in Chang'an, at the age of eighty, after his death in Chang'an, in the second year (833), Huang Yi and Huang Zhao's ancestors resigned from the army as the commander of the cavalry on the five products, and they all joined the trafficking.

At this time, Sanhuang, You Tong, An Zhi, and the housekeeper Huang Gui have been trafficking in different places for ten years and have rich experience. In addition, the two official generals of this ancestor and grandson have developed rapidly.

The commander of the Lu Ling Department looked at the clouds and was shocked, and suddenly tears rolled down: "The eldest brother of the servant shot the immortal, but no one knew about it." Where are you going to meet him?"

Chang Du, the commander of the Water Spirit Department, smiled: "Big brother, don't say that there are not many people who live to eighty, and it is even rarer for princes to live to eighty." The eldest brother of the servant shoots is so long-lived, he will inevitably ascend to the immortal. Another day, I asked the Immortal Dealer Department to go to Lao Jun and Shennong to check his whereabouts, and invited Brother Servant to be the protector god of our God Dealer Realm. ”

Wangyun wiped a handful of tears and laughed: "This is a serious statement, we are only busy with divine affairs, and we can't imagine that the death of the eldest brother in the world has been fifteen years." ”

The goddess of Hongyun said a blessing to them, and said: "Lu Ling is handsome, Shui Ling is handsome, let's continue to talk about Anzhi and Huangfu." ”

Huang Zhi, Huang Jing, Huang Hui, and Huang Xian grew up one after another, and they all joined this oil trafficking army.

When Huang Yi resigned from the military, he was seventy years old, and two years before that, he was named the founder of Jutan County, and the fief was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou. His wife was named the Jun of Jutan County.

When Huang Zhao resigned from the military, he was also a viscount, and was named the founding son of Wulian County by the emperor, and his fief was in Jianzhou. His wife Han was named the king of Wulian County.

Huang Zhao was twenty-six years old at this time, and he had already married his wife Han, and his son Huang Fu was eight years old. Han is the daughter of Han Dao, the eldest brother of the Han family, called Han Ping, who is also a martial arts heirloom in the family, and also trafficks oil.

As many as thirteen of the Huang family will come and go to various places, how many of their forces can be defeated?

In the middle of trafficking, of course, it is inevitable to encounter diseases and famine years, and not every year is so smooth. Overall, it's getting easier and easier.

They went to the west to transport oil, and when they returned, if they took the land route, they would go to Wuzhou (i.e., Jiezhou) to connect Li County with Changyang Hou Wenlie's disciples Li Zhenban, Shajin Ban, and Song Lieban, and pull their red membranaceus, Coptis chinensis, and Sichuan pepper, saving them from renting a car.

If you take the waterway of the Yangtze River, go to Yandao County, Rongzhou, and find the son of the Marquis of Pingchang lacquer carving, or the fourth brother of the Marquis of Pingchang. The big ship was filled with Rongzhou spring wine, pulled back to Qingzhou, and handed over to the Rongzhou Spring Wine Workshop of the Marquis of Pyeongchang.

In the year when Huang Yi and Huang Zhao resigned from the army, each of them drove a carriage and trafficked peanuts and soybeans to Shazhou.

At this time, Ding Kaiban, Wen Yinghu's Hongqi, Sha Jinban, Song Lieban's Coptis chinensis, Li Zhenban, and Liu Shouban's peppercorns all had business in Shazhou. Ding Kaiban and Liu Shouban live in Longxing County, Ruzhou, and Sha Jinban works as a housekeeper in the Changyanghou Mansion of Bozhou.

Their business in the east is in charge of Ding Kaiban, Sha Jinban, and Liu Shouban. The business in the west was run by Wen Yinghu, Song Lieban, and Li Zhenban.

Therefore, when Anzhi's caravan went to Shazhou, he often arranged for a person to take a horse to Jiangli County, and asked Wen, Song, and Li to follow him.

They had long heard rumors on the ground in Shazhou that Zhang Xiong was the first local hero, so they made a special trip to visit.

I wonder what Zhang Xiong will do to them?
