Han Qi won't be the kind of person who is shallow-eyed, who only knows how to search, and doesn't know how to spend it.

Where is the livestock traded from the Liao State is money, but this, if it is not sent to a place with money, in the northwest, it is not worth much, and even to a certain extent, the arrival of a large number of livestock, the price will fall off a cliff.

Of course, Han Qi couldn't let this happen, he had already made preparations when he was trading on a large scale, using the existing land and pasture in Lingzhou to accommodate these livestock, in order to prevent large-scale livestock from impacting the market and causing a large-scale drop in prices.

However, only input, not output, also made Han Qi under great pressure, the arrival of a large number of livestock, which is a scarce product in the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as it is transported to the right place, it is money.

It was the best choice to transport it to Bianliang, Tokyo, because of Bianliang's huge population and affordability, it was enough to undertake the arrival of such a large number of livestock, and it was quickly consumed.

It's a pity that for Han Qi, it is almost impossible to do all this, because it is too far away.

The speed of cattle and horses, compared with ordinary grain and grass freight, is a little faster, especially the simple composition of cattle and horses, a day can almost reach 100 miles, but from Lingzhou to Weizhou, it takes more than 8 days, and the farther away, this number will be increased, and even to the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of livestock, simply providing grain and grass, is enough to eat the nearby almost poor states and counties.

From Lingzhou to Kaifeng, the straight-line distance is more than 2000 miles, if you add a detour or something, it is very difficult to send them to Kaifeng, and even send them to Xi'an, it is also a little far, almost 1500 miles away, which is a long distance.

Fortunately, there was another option, using Weizhou as a place for assembly and trading, and preparations were made in advance.

Weizhou is right in the center of Lingzhou and Xi'an, about 700 miles away from Lingzhou, and about the same distance from Xi'an, its own business can also provide some support, plus, Han Qi's publicity in advance, should be able to attract the entire northern merchants, this is already the best way Han Qi can think of, of course, the number of one-time inflows is not much, if millions of heads, or even millions of head of livestock, flock to Weizhou, not to mention that Weizhou can't afford it, even if it's the entire northwest, it can't afford so much.

At the earliest time, he attacked Lingzhou, and by virtue of taking the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, Liao Xingzong stopped Han Qi from going further, and finally with the credit of exchange, the 450,000 head of livestock obtained by Liao Xingzong, plus the capture of Lingzhou, was almost a million.

Among these livestock, the vast majority are sheep, except for about 300,000 sheep, which were directly left in the northwest, and the rest have already passed through the official road and slowly went to Weizhou.

The influx of a large number of livestock, all of a sudden, made Han Qi's hands much more comfortable, the vast northwest garrison, still have to be improved, money must be solved, and the same is true for food.

After the army left the Western Xia, it began to reward on a large scale, and this part of the sheep was also used as the object of reward, and the improvement of life was all the time, and at the same time, the large-scale development of Lingzhou had already begun.

Because of the war in the northwest, there is very little wasteland to reclaim, most of it is also grassland, and the border people in the northwest also occasionally graze, but very little, in the face of the shadowless, go without a trace of the Xixia cavalry, large-scale grazing, it is equivalent to being robbed by the other party.

But now, Lingzhou is in hand, after a lot of construction, and there are additional constructions later, a total of more than 50 fortresses have been set up in Lingzhou, plus other border cities and newly built fortresses, like a huge city wall, the real northwest guards in it.

In the middle, the simple grassland area is very large, and the pasture is very rich in the nomads, but there is no use here, as if it is just a wild grass.

There is no way, in order to avoid losses, it was taken away like a straw cut by Western Xia, and this method can only be chosen.

But now, Lingzhou and the protection system are like a huge barrier, protecting here, and there are more grasslands in Lingzhou, even more so, which is also the fundamental reason why a large number of livestock enter without any problems, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, such a huge number of livestock have long starved to death.

Before the development of Lingzhou was not carried out, or in the early stage of development, in fact, a large number of livestock came, and they could use grazing methods, intensive grazing, which would degrade the grassland, which was not a problem for them.

The northwest is not within the Northern Song Dynasty, there are many nomads who belong to them, although these nomads are in the territory, but the grazing instinct in the instinct, has not forgotten, although these cattle are a little much, but a person in the rich pasture, can graze a lot of livestock, especially cattle and sheep, more docile, will not run around casually, they are very convenient.

Millions, or even tens of millions of head of livestock, they will be well cared for here, and even next year, they will grow a lot of meat, or even a lot more, these are all money, to a certain extent, this can also become a semi-cultivated, semi-grazing existence, which is also a good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, it is still necessary to sell appropriately, although the Privy Council is already preparing for this reward, although the Northern Song Dynasty has a good reward for soldiers, but for soldiers who fight with their lives, this is not enough, far from enough.

Sheep can be used as a reward, hundreds of thousands of heads are missing, it's nothing, who makes the sheep cheap in the northwest, according to the usual price of 5 heads, even if 300,000 are eaten, it only costs tens of thousands, for Han Qi, who has made great contributions, it is nothing, but large livestock need to be handled carefully.

Han Qi is a very rigid person and a very proud person, but let him deduct the rewards of the soldiers, this does not exist, his family strength, there is no need, deducting these military salaries, even if it is obtained with the merits of the war, has already made the Han family take off.

More than 20 million head of livestock, even if it is 15 million in Hebei, it is impossible to pass his hands, just Lingzhou, just a little bit of hand, you can make a lot of profits.

In his opinion, these soldiers who fought with their lives and finally gave glory and rewards to the Northern Song Dynasty were eligible for higher rewards.

The reward of the imperial court must be on the way, such a great achievement, the battle to destroy the country, or a few in the Northern Song Dynasty, the war that does not need money to fight, and also makes money, this reward will definitely come down.

But with Han Qi's understanding of the center, it may be average to each soldier, that is, a few hundred words, what can this do.

Becoming a soldier is to eat food, otherwise, who is willing to hang his head under the knife to fight hard, the real reward should be given by the lord.

These rewards, of course, can't be given by Han Qi, tens of thousands of soldiers, even if one person is consistent, it is tens of thousands of yuan, this money, the Han family is not unable to take out, but after taking it out, they will have a big loss.

In this case, it is a good choice to send 50,000 cattle and 10,000 horses to Weizhou for sale.

This is just a starting point, but it is a very large starting point, according to the price in the Northern Song Dynasty that he expected, 50,000 head of cattle and 10,000 horses can get at least more than 1 million yuan in cash.

These seizures were used by Han Qi like this, which is no problem. According to the unspoken rules, Han Qi can use part of the seizure.

At the same time, he knew very well that because in the negotiations between the two sides, the Northern Song Dynasty had the upper hand, and he also obtained the benefits above the books.

There is a big difference between a group of three-year-old, sturdy and handsome horses, and a teenager who is already old, and a cow of four or five hundred catties is a cow with a thousand catties, or even a cow of more than a thousand catties, which is also a matter of two concepts.

One side is strong, then it can be shoddy, and now the Liao State can't wait, basically there is no need to choose, and most of the seizures of Western Xia are sent over for trading, among them, the good ones occupy the majority.

In the same way, those lambs, calves, foals and the like, on the premise that they are not ranked in the end, they are half sold and half sent, which is a huge buffer.

Livestock, itself, can grow, for cattle and horses such a large, half a year, not much change, but for lambs, lambs, such a difference, there are many people who are familiar with animal husbandry, plus Lingzhou here, excellent pasture, enough to make a big change after half a year, he also sent these out with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the limited amount that Weizhou could afford and couldn't get a lot of profits, he would even get all the millions of livestock he had seized at the beginning.

Weizhou, located in the center of the Yellow River, and the Hetao Plain, where is the more abundant aquatic and grass environment, there is a huge difference, the Loess Plateau and desertification climate, has appeared here, but as a barrier in Shaanxi, as an important fulcrum of Qinfeng Road, here itself is a very important border military state.

There is a small cattle and horse market here, but this cattle and horse market, the largest transaction volume, is only a few dozen horses, more transactions are sheep, some live sheep, after being concentrated here, was sent to Xi'an, used to supply the capital.

At the same time, Han Qi also knew that with the heritage and population of Weizhou, it was impossible to digest such a huge number of livestock, let alone 10,000 horses and 50,000 cattle, even if the number was reduced by ninety, it would be impossible to sell.

Han Qi never expected that Weizhou would be able to completely digest these livestock, this was just a transit station, and the most critical propaganda was still placed in Xi'an.

Xi'an in the Northern Song Dynasty, known as Jingzhao Mansion, is the core of the northwest, and it is also the station where Han Qi used to be the head of the four roads, where is the focus of propaganda, Han Qi has done some propaganda when he mobilized silk, and now, when a large number of livestock are gradually approaching Weizhou, this propaganda is even more overwhelming.
