“…… I still have some things, I don't know if General Ashina can help me transport them. ”

Since Shen Wan wants to speak, she won't just need a little bit.

"Oh?"

Ash Nayao raised his eyebrows, he didn't think Shen Wu was "insatiable".

He was actually curious: "Your Highness seems to have a lot of confidence in me?" ”

"The only thing I can control at the moment is the capital and the surrounding areas."

Even Cangzhou between the two, now Ashina Yao is helpless.

It was Zheng Qi's territory.

If Ashina Yao wants to pass the pass, he has to disguise himself and borrow a fake identity.

Shen Wu opened her mouth and asked Ash Nayao, as if as long as Ash Nayao agreed, he would cross the middle ground such as Cangzhou and Sanguan and transport a large amount of materials to Lizhou.

"Your Highness, my ability is limited, and it is not enough to run amok in the Guanzhong region."

Ashina Yao said this, but it was not all "miserable", he was also tempting.

He wanted to know how much Shen Yanchi, or Jiang Yanchi, the person behind Shen Wu, knew about him.

"The general is humble! Although the general's men and horses can't pass through the pass, the caravan can! ”

Shen Wu smiled lightly, but what she said had a deep meaning.

Ashina's eyes froze, and he looked at Shen Wu fixedly.

Shen Wu met Ash Nayao's gaze and said softly: "Nine-story building! ”

"To be more precise, I want to borrow the business of General Ashina."

The current Dasheng has long since lost the peace and tranquility of the past, in addition to the four major warlords, many local jiedu envoys, wealthy families, etc., are also secretly developing their strength.

On the surface, they are all officials of Dasheng, but in fact, they have long been "independent".

However, this pattern of "division" is still at the political and military levels, and does not involve commerce and trade.

For example, Ashina Yao led a large army, and he would definitely not be able to pass through Cangzhou and get out of the pass.

But if it is a caravan under the name of Ashina Yao, as long as it is engaged in normal business activities, it can pass smoothly.

After all, no matter how chaotic the world is, people also have to eat and dress, and the nobles can't do without those luxury goods that come from south to north.

Ashinayao's nine-story building has been in business for several years.

The caravans under the name of Jiuzhonglou are also almost all over the major states and counties of Dasheng.

These caravans, in addition to being able to collect enough and detailed information, can also grab enough money for Ashina Yao.

Not to mention the rebellion, it also takes a lot of money to raise these spies and build armaments.

Ashina Yao's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the past can only make people relax their vigilance against him, but it will not bring him wealth.

He was able to take advantage of the spring breeze of his father's rebellion to pull up his own team in a short period of time, relying on the operation and accumulation of Jiujulou over the years.

Ash Nayao is now able to sit firmly in the capital and become Shen Ji's behind-the-scenes boss, relying on two powerful weapons-

First, the soldiers he collected from all over the world now add up to 50,000 people, which can deter those warlords who covet the capital.

The second is that the spies and caravans of the Nine-Story Building can bring him a steady stream of news and food.

Soldiers and money are indispensable.

Ash Nayao naturally understands this truth, so he also attaches great importance to these two items.

Now, as soon as Shen Wu opened her mouth, she mentioned the Nine-Story Building, and tried to "get involved" with his caravan-

"I have some supplies that I want to ship to the capital to sell."

"For example, salt, grain, and some rouge gouache used by women."

If you want to develop a base area, you definitely need money.

Shen Wu does have most of the wealth in the capital, but money still has to flow.

It is absolutely not advisable to sit and eat empty.

The best thing to do is to open source and let the wealth flow in.

Moreover, the role of the caravan is too great.

What Ashina Yao can do, Shen Wu also wants to give it a try.

Ash Nayao has ready-made caravans and trade routes in her hands, and she can completely "cooperate" with them.

"Salt?"

Nothing else, Ashina Yao attaches great importance to "salt".

The southern region is occupied by the Nanzhou Jiedu envoy, and the sea salt on the southeast coast cannot be transported to the capital unimpeded as in the past.

And the inventory in the capital was all swept away by a mysterious person.

Ashina Yao occupied the capital, designed to drive away the besieging father Ashinahong, and then began to conduct a large-scale search in the capital.

Even the dense sewers, Ashina Yao also sent someone to search it.

No result.

Or, that mysterious force, and with a large number of supplies fled the capital.

Or, the so-called mysterious figure does not exist at all.

Whatever the possibility, the result was that the capital was almost emptied.

The silver depot, grain depot, armory, and other massive materials are all gone.

Ashina Yao occupied the capital and had only an empty shell.

Oh no, it's not just an empty shell, but also countless drags - inside and outside the palace, up and down the capital, and a population of two or three hundred thousand.

The daily eating, drinking, and spending of these people is very huge.

Ashina Yao wants to occupy the capital and use it as a base, not a rogue who grabs a vote and leaves.

He also thought that he would be able to rule the world in the future, so naturally he couldn't watch the subjects of the city starve to death.

Not only did he not receive any supplies, but he also had to find ways to collect supplies from the surrounding areas so that he could feed the capital.

Fortunately, there is still some stock in the surrounding area, which has not cut off the supply of the capital.

Immediately afterwards, the summer harvest ended, and those states and counties were able to pay tribute to a batch of grain, grass, materials, etc.

The capital did not riot because of money and food.

However, the area that Ashina Yao can radiate is only so large.

For now, all he can guarantee is some basic supplies such as food.

Salt, there is a bit of a shortage.

The caravan of the nine-story building was able to find ways to get salt, but the price increased all the way, and after arriving in the capital, the price of salt increased more than ten times.

A small bag of salt, seemingly inconspicuous, has not caused major trouble at present.

However, Ash Nayao knew in his heart that this was a hidden danger.

If it is not handled properly, it will surely cause great disasters in the future.

It is precisely for these reasons that Ashina Yao will be so eager to "recover" other states and counties, and even cooperate with the "mountain bandits".

At this moment, Shen Wu told him, "I have salt!" I can sell salt to the caravan of the Nine Buildings at the lowest cost price. As for the subsequent price, it's up to you, General, to decide! ”

"Do you have salt? In this Lizhou? ”

It's not coastal, and it can still produce salt?

"That's right! I have! In fact, in the county under the mountain, one of the most important commodities in my Longmen trade is salt! ”

Shen Wu is definitely "with salt in her hands, she doesn't panic in her heart".

Originally, she wanted to take out some more things, such as glass, soap, alcohol, etc., which were necessary for the traverser, as a plan, but she didn't expect that "salt" was worthy of being a strategic material controlled by the imperial court.

When it matters, you still have to rely on it!
