Chapter 7: The Sorrowful Fortune Boy
Yang Huaiyu cautiously looked around, exhaled, threw his body into the chair and patted his head and said, "The Yang family is full of loyalty!" ”
Tie Xinyuan sneered and said, "When your Yang family was the most unlucky, do you dare to say that you didn't think about cutting off my father-in-law's head on a dark and windy night?" ”
Yang Huaiyu sat up abruptly, and said seriously with a straight face: "The Yang family is full of loyalty!" ”
Tie Xinyuan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, the Yang family is full of loyalty, I know about this, in case my son really becomes the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I will definitely give your Yang family a chance to be loyal." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Don't talk about these things, talk about yourself. ”
Yang Huaiyu shook his head and said: "There is nothing to say, from the school captain, step by step to become a loyal doctor, from guarding Miaochuan City, and then upgraded to garrison Zongge City, by the way, the official family thinks Zongge City is not good, and it is changed to an iron gate."
The number of soldiers under my command has also changed from one commander to four commanders, in short, I am now in command of the 8,000 border army of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am still the most powerful one.
It's good to be a general, but it's just that the family is a little messy, and my mother's kindness to me now makes my hair stand on end.
My wife is now more and more like my old lady, the Yang family of Nuoda, who is controlled by him, as long as the people of Tokyo are wealthy ladies, they must count my wife as the first.
It's that he likes to ride on me at night, and he likes to bite me, and as long as I go home once, I don't have a few good pieces of skin in my body......"
Tie Xinyuan glanced at Yang Huaiyu and sighed: "What kind of task did the privy envoy Han Qi give you, so that you can use your own private affairs to do it and bow your head in front of me?"
This doesn't fit your temper, when I accidentally took a look at your wife breastfeeding the child in Tokyo, you chased me for three days, and took pity on me, but I was only thirteen years old at the time, and now I am so generous, I have said it myself.
Let's say, what kind of task is it, we must help you if we can help you, and we will find a way together if we can't help you. ”
"300,000 loads of military rations!" Yang Huaiyu said very simply.
Tie Xinyuan took a sip of tea and said, "That's all?" ”
"Pay ...... according to the price of grain in Jingzhao Province"
"What else?"
"Forage for 30,000 horses for the winter...... Compensate...... Six thousand sackcloth...... In addition, buy three thousand gunpowder shells, which are paid for in gold. ”
Tie Xinyuan was silent......
Yang Huaiyu gritted his teeth and said: "I know that it is not righteous to be an elder brother who beats you at this time, originally they wanted to buy 500,000 quintals of grain, and wanted to solve the problem of lack of food in the Hehuang garrison at one time."
The elder brother knew that he used the grain price of Jingzhao Mansion to buy Hami's grain, which was a robbery, but he was incompetent to be his brother, and he desperately reduced the number to 300,000 quintals.
As for the winter forage for 30,000 war horses, brother, you don't have to worry about it, there is also a pasture there in Hehuang, and I can't take the grass that I cut in the autumn, and the linen cloth should be used to compensate you for a little food.
But the gunpowder bullet came down with a hat, and my brother must sell it to us, and the city of Lanzhou is about to be destroyed. ”
Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "Then do it, 300,000 quintals of grain will be sold to you at the price of Jingzhao Mansion, but you need to transport it back yourself."
As for the forage, you Hehuang is not without it, there is no one to help you cut the forage, and you don't have to worry about this, the people of the Baima and Qiyan tribes will get you enough forage in the autumn. Six thousand horses of linen were given to them directly.
As for 3,000 gunpowder bullets, each of which is a Hami gold coin, this is a fair price, right? ”
Yang Huaiyu drooped his head and said, "Of course it's very good, but I don't know if our brother's affection can withstand several breaks." ”
Tie Xinyuan patted Yang Huaiyu's shoulder and said, "This is what you deserve, is that fish still sweet to eat just now?" ”
Yang Huaiyu didn't understand why Tie Xinyuan would ask a fish, so he nodded blankly and said, "The best in the world." ”
Tie Xinyuan looked at Yang Huaiyu again, and when he saw that he had no signs of being poisoned, he smiled and said, "I'll eat one at night." ”
The ignorant Yang Huaiyu left Tie Xinyuan's tent, he always felt that Tie Xinyuan was weird, but he didn't think much about it, after all, he had brought great trouble to his brother.
Seeing that Huo Xian, Liu Chu, Wei Chiwen and others went to Tie Xinyuan's side, they must have persuaded Tie Xinyuan not to agree to this unfair deal, so he sighed, felt hot all over, took off his clothes, and plunged into the cold lake.
After reading the charter brought by Yang Huaiyu, Huo Xian stroked his beard and said, "The Great Song Dynasty is so unfamiliar with me Hami? ”
Tie Xinyuan shook his head helplessly and said: "The benefits of sending it to the door, let's take it, at present, I don't know how difficult it is for Yang Huaiyu to get it." ”
Liu Chu sighed and said, "It is estimated that they can eat one million quintals of grain if they are sold it."
From Hami's standpoint, the old man could only say that we don't want money, it is better to barter, silk, linen, tea, porcelain, these things are more valuable to us.
Of course, the basis of the exchange is the price of grain in Jingzhao Province. ”
Wei Chiwen interjected: "The earliest inventory of the existing gunpowder shells is three years ago, and according to the random inspection chapter of the hot metal report last month, about 10% of the gunpowder shells have already failed to use gunpowder.
It is recommended that we use these things as soon as possible, or sell them, because the gunpowder bullets are related to the life and death of my Hami, and I was originally going to destroy this part of the stockpile of gunpowder bullets, but now it seems that there is no need for them, and the ineffective gunpowder bullets can be poured out and reloaded, and they can be sold directly to the Great Song Dynasty.
We don't lose the price of a gold coin. ”
Huo Xian didn't seem to be happy, and opened his mouth to say: "This year, the wind and rain in Hami are smooth, and most of our fertile fields are paddy fields, so the grain is growing very well, and a bumper harvest is a foregone conclusion."
According to the food strategy formulated by the king to eat for a year, hide for a year, and prepare for a year, my Hami grain is still very sufficient.
The six steamed wine workshops are running at full capacity, but they still can't achieve the goal of depleting grain stocks, so the old man ordered the establishment of four new steamed wine workshops, and at the same time changed the situation of monoculture of grain in our Hami country.
The remaining seventy percent of the land is used to grow cotton and flax, after all, Hami's trade will only flourish if the land has a surplus of output.
The old man wanted to discuss with Yang Huaiyu to see if they could eat more grain. ”
Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "We used to be hungry and scared, and we wanted to grow all the food when we had a little land.
Now, the population of my Hami is less than 3 million, less than 30% of the population of the Great Song Dynasty, and the population of Chengdu Prefecture alone exceeds the entire population of my Hami.
However, the area where we can grow food is extremely vast, under the Daxue Mountain, the area of Balikun Lake is even more fertile, and the two hundred and ten miles on both sides of the Hami River are all fertile fields that have been silted up after the flooding of the river, and even more so in the poplar land, even Loulan, after the reappearance of the Calamus Sea, there are large areas of land for the people to cultivate.
At the beginning of the founding of Hami, I never imagined that one day I would have a worrying amount of food in Hami. ”
Liu Chu snorted and said: "Mara ploughing hoe two horses and one person, one day can reclaim as much as 30 acres of wasteland, the wasteland is flourishing, a fire in winter, can accumulate ash inches, grass and wood ashes are ploughed and hoeed into the soil is the best fertilizer, even the newly reclaimed barren land is not inferior to the Da Song Tianzi fertile field, the land is more, and fertile, and there are horse-drawn hoes, the people plough for a year, can be eaten for three years and have surplus.
Nowadays, the number of acres is surging every year, and Hami has truly become the granary of the Western Regions.
Hahaha, what a joke, farming in Hami is more than ten times easier than farming in the Great Song Dynasty, and the bigwigs in the Great Song Dynasty actually think that using the grain price of Jingzhao Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty to buy Hami grain is a kind of squeezing for us......
Hahaha......"
Liu Qi's tears of laughter came out, his body trembled like leaves in the cold wind, and the laughter gradually became poignant, and after a while, tears flowed down his face, and he became a real cry.
Tie Xinyuan laughed dryly and said: "Hami is a remote ......"
"Remote what?" Liu slammed his slap on the table, and he was furious.
"I don't know, I don't understand, I don't care, I live above the temple, I speculate on the world's major events, how can I not be laughed at?
The old man knew that the king must be in a state of joy at the moment, and he was glad that he had met the biggest sheep in the world, and Hami took advantage of the anger and resentment of the heavens, and also made the bigwigs in charge of the Great Song Dynasty temple complacent, thinking that they had a plan.
Pity my people in the Great Song Dynasty for their hard work......"
No one can do anything about an old man who is crying, and he must wait until he has cried enough before persuading, otherwise he will be sad.
Finally, when Liu Chu stopped crying, Tie Xinyuan smiled dryly again: "Why don't you halve the original price?" ”
Liu Chu shook his head indifferently and said, "Although the king does things according to his own ideas, he must not damage the Hami Kingdom for the sake of the old man's worthless tears."
If the king can trust the old man, it is better to let the old man preside over this transaction, and let Hami make a lot of money! ”
Tie Xinyuan looked at this respected old man in surprise, thinking that he might be sad and insane.
Liu Qimu continued in a daze: "After the transaction is completed, the old man will tell Wang Anshi the process of the transaction in detail, and see how this person who has been famous in the world for 20 years reacts. ”
Huo Xian saw that Tie Xinyuan was a little unhappy, and explained on the side: "It's good to have such a transaction once, how can the king still expect it to go on for a long time?" ”
Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "The large grain transaction naturally can't be concealed for too long, even if Duke Liu doesn't tell Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, who is far away in the capital, will definitely tell the truth, this is a trivial matter."
Hehe, with my understanding of those bigwigs, they are not only confident but also stubborn, Liu Gong, believe it or not, even if you die in the court, those bigwigs will not change their perception of Hami.
I just think that in the future, we can't measure the Great Song Dynasty from the perspective of the Hami people, and we must declare our difficulties to the Great Song Dynasty and increase the difficulty of our work.
In this way, it can conform to all the imagination of the Great Song Dynasty people about Hami...... Hehe, in the past, we blindly told Da Song how rich I was, which was not right, so I wrote to Wanwan and told her to hide all the good things.
In this way, we can happily trade with Da Song for at least ten years. ”
