"Don't talk about money? What did the eldest brother and Wu Haogu talk about? ”

The next morning, Wu Yanen, who returned to the Gaoli Pavilion from Tianya Town, reported to Wu Yanzhong about the negotiations with Wu Haogu yesterday.

When he heard that Wu Haogu didn't plan to talk about money with Wu Yanzhong in Haizhou, Wu Dazhoumu of the Goryeo Kingdom was also stunned.

How can you not talk about money when you do business? Is Wu Haogu, a businessman, a traitor or a fool?

"We've talked about weapons trading!" Wu Yanen stroked his beard and said, "Third brother, good news, this time the imperial court is ready to open up and sell weapons to Goryeo...... In addition to the god arm crossbow is not sold, the buffalo horn bow is restricted from being sold, and there are all kinds of other weapons! ”

The whole nine yards?

But there's not a lot of money! If you don't have enough money, no matter how good things are, they belong to someone else, how can you not talk about this?

"But ...... money"

"Let's talk about the money in Jiehe Shang City," Wu Yanen said with a smile, "The Wuke Province said that Zhun Bao can buy enough weapons for the Goryeo Kingdom." Now the question is whether and how much does Goryeo want and how much? ”

"Of course, the more weapons, the better! But that's all the money......"

Wu Yanzhong frowned, the gold, silver and mountain goods prepared for him by the king of Goryeo were originally used to buy materials, and now the Great Song Dynasty does not sell materials, only weapons...... Weapons are much more expensive than materials!

Moreover, the price of all kinds of mountain goods has fallen again, and the original 3 million is now 2 million left in the sky.

If 2 million is used to buy iron, cowhide and horns, it can buy a lot. But how many can you buy for ready-made weapons?

A good buffalo horn bow is sold for 40 taels in Haishi! 2 million yuan can buy 50,000 pieces at most - there is no such thing as a small profit and quick turnover!

50,000 buffalo horn bows would have to slaughter 50,000 adult male buffaloes! Is there anything else to say, even if there is, it can't be slaughtered casually!

Moreover, the process of buffalo horn bows is very complex, it takes several months to make a bow (one craftsman can make many at the same time), and it is simply impossible to produce them in large quantities.

Of course, the Goryeo army was not so extravagant, and it was impossible for everyone to have a buffalo horn bow. But ordinary weapons can't be cheap! Because the production of weapons is monopolistic, they are all created by government-run workshops...... That's all at cost!

Now that you want to sell it to Korea, can you ask for a cheap price?

But if you don't buy it now, you can't do it! The king of Goryeo has worked hard for so many years, and finally waited for the weakening of the Liao State, how could he let go of this opportunity to rise?

Wang Hao, the king of Goryeo, had already discussed with his ministers, first taking the land of the five waters of Haolaidian, and then inviting the soldiers to give birth to the Jurchen Wanyan Department in the land of the five waters of Haolaidian. If they can win, they will attack Taibai Mountain and the east and north of Taibai Mountain. At the same time, the Bohai Great Clan was brought out as a call, and the battle and appeasement were constantly collected by the Jurchen tribe, and the homeland of the Bohai Kingdom was restored!

In the process of attacking the Jurchens and seizing the homeland of the Bohai Sea, the Goryeo Kingdom must also be ready to start a war with the Khitan at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to hoard a large number of weapons and send troops to meet the battle at any time.

The number of troops that can be mobilized in the whole of Goryeo has also been counted long ago. In the case of national mobilization, up to 200,000 troops can be conscripted!

The reserve of weapons is calculated according to half of the 200,000 army, and at least weapons that can be equipped with 100,000 troops must be prepared, including armor, bows and arrows, swords and shields, spears and spears, etc. At the same time, a certain number of horses, harnesses and horses must be prepared. Some of them were produced in Goryeo, such as wooden bows, shields, guns, spears, poles, and harnesses.

Weapons such as horned bows, armor, swords, and spear tips, which were not produced in large quantities or were not produced in sufficient quantities, such as iron tools, cowhides, horns, and rattan, were imported from all of them.

In addition, there was a serious shortage of horses in Goryeo, and the Liao State also imposed an embargo on Goryeo. Therefore, the king of Goryeo also hoped to import some from the Great Song Dynasty.

In short, the amount of money needed is not a small amount!

Seeing that this cousin, who was an official in Goryeo, was in a hurry, Wu Yanen just smiled: "Don't worry...... Since the Great Song Dynasty was willing to unite with Goryeo, there was always a way for money.

By the way, third brother, you said yesterday that you had prepared millions worth of mountain goods and medicinal materials? Do you want our fleet to transport them to Haizhou as soon as possible? Now the Jurchens are also selling a large number of mountain goods and medicinal herbs, and if they come late, they are afraid that they will not be able to sell at a price......"

Wu Yanzhong nodded again and again, "That's, that's, I'll leave this matter to the eldest brother." ”

Wu Yanen nodded again and again, "Then I'll send a fast boat to Goryeo Haizhou." ”

The mountain goods such as furs, ginseng, and medicinal herbs shipped from Korea are actually not so "worthless", and the current decline is only temporary. Because of the war, both sides ...... Especially on the Jurchen side, where the population is already small, the strong men have all gone to the battlefield, who has the kung fu to fight tigers, dogs and bears, and dig ginseng?

So with the war, the supply of these good things will definitely be tight, and it won't rise several times or several times when the time comes?

While the fight hasn't started yet, stock up on some more and send it when the time comes!

……

On Haizhou's side, the evil capitalists Wu Haogu and Wu Yanen were busy making a fortune from the war. In the ancient Guanzhong Plain, Lantian County's parents, Wuhao Wenwu Qingtian, took him to Lantian Lu's house and came to Jingzhaofu City in a gray manner.

The Jingzhaofu city in the Song Dynasty is cramped and shabby, this city is not the Chang'an City that carries the glory of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the new city built on the basis of the Chang'an Palace City built by the Kuang Guo Jiedu who stayed in Luoyang at the end of the Tang Dynasty after Zhu Quanzhong moved Zhaozong to Luoyang. The city is about 5 miles long from east to west, about 3 miles wide from north to south, more than 17 miles around, with an area of about 5.2 square kilometers, only one-sixteenth of the old Chang'an City, and not even as big as the emerging Jiehe Shang City.

On the east and west sides of the small Jingzhaofu City, two smaller cities were built as the seat of Chang'an and Wannian counties.

Unlike Lantian County, which is about to collapse, Jingzhaofu City is tall and strong, and there are wide moats outside the city, which looks like a strong city.

Now that it is approaching the late autumn season, the autumn harvest of the Guanzhong Plain and the nearby Jingxi Road has been completed, and the autumn tax has been paid in many places, and countless vehicles have begun to transport grain to Jingzhaofu City, which is the logistics point of the Western Army, where the grain and grass transported from the east are hoarded and shipped in batches and stations.

The so-called "sub-station shipment" means that a transfer station is set up less than 100 miles along the grain transportation line, and the counties along the way are responsible for providing people's food, chariots and horses, and some fodder, and are responsible for maintaining the road. The purpose of this is to reduce the number of vehicles and cattle and horses after the grain and grass transported are consumed by the cattle and horses pulling the carts, so as to increase the delivery rate - but no matter how carefully calculated, the delivery rate of 2000 miles will not exceed 20%.

The setting up of grain stations along the way and relay transportation are also a very heavy burden for the people of Guanzhong counties.

Wu Haowen, as the parent official of Lantian County, also has to undertake the task of mobilizing people, cattle and horses, and vehicles to serve at the designated transfer station - this has to beg the Lantian Lu clan again! If it weren't for their help, Wu Haowen's magistrate wouldn't have been able to do it at all!

In Guanzhong, there is nothing bigger than the supply front!

Therefore, Wu Dazhi County has no way to take the people of the Lantian Lu clan at all, and if you want to implement the government soldiers, you have to follow their methods.

Otherwise, don't do anything, just live in peace......

But Wu Haowen still wanted to make some achievements, so after arranging the conscription in the county, he came to Jingzhao Mansion City and found Ji Yi, the official affairs of the Jingzhao Mansion Baojia Mansion.

Ji Yi seemed to have made plans to live in Jingzhao Mansion for a long time, so he did not live in the cramped office, but rented a large mansion with three entrances and three exits, a stable and a back garden in Shuangguifang, Jingzhao Mansion.

When Wu Haowen visited, Ji Yi and a large family that came with him had just settled down.

"Brother Yi is so interested that he actually bought such a house in this Jingzhao Mansion?"

Hearing Wu Haowen's words, Ji Yi immediately laughed: "Wangdao, you and I can't be accomplished in Jingzhao Mansion in a few months, this ...... I'm afraid it will take three years to go back, so how can I not have a good life? ”

These two are also old acquaintances, although they have been estranged for a while because of party disputes. But Wu Haowen didn't know what kind of grudge Ji Yi and his brother had? So he is still very friendly to Ji Yi.

"It will take three years...... Wu Haowen followed Ji Yi, who came out to greet him, into the hall, and after the guests and hosts sat down, they followed the other party's words and started business.

"Brother Yizhi, it seems that our errand will not be able to be completed in thirty years!"

"How so?" Ji Yi looked at Wu Haowen with a smile, "Wangdao, have you talked to a few people from the Lantian Lu family about the government soldiers?" ”

"What are you talking about? I was taught a lesson by that Mr. Ida. ”

"How?" Ji Yi was stunned for a moment, "He didn't agree to engage in government soldiers in Lantian?" ”

"Yes, yes," Wu Haowen shook his head, "It's just ......"

"Hehe," Ji Yi smiled, "It's good to agree!" Say yes, and it's done! ”

"I can't make it......" Wu Haowen smiled bitterly and told Ji Yi the words of Lu Yishan and Lu Jingshan, 1510.

After Ji Yi heard this, he laughed, "Brother Wangdao, it's done!" And it came to pass! ”

"It's finished?" Wu Haowen shook his head, "How is it possible?" What the Lu family wants is the real power of Lantian County......"

"Here!" Ji Yi smiled, "Why don't you give it?" If you don't give it, can the government military system succeed? It's not that I'm talking about you, if you don't give them rights, just your ability, a few people surnamed Lu don't stop you, whatever you do, you won't be able to succeed. Okay now, they're here to do it, and the credit goes to you and me...... Haha, Brother Wangdao, your official fortune is really enviable! ”
