Chapter 660: Buying Grain
Tuoba Yan turned the horsewhip in his hand and squinted at the Fuyuan officer, his eyes full of disdain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Gao Jie, I haven't heard of it." With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him rushed forward, punching and kicking, pushing aside the drivers and guards who were driving the car. "This grain belongs to us."
Gao Jie was furious: "This brother, this is Fuyuan County, you have crossed the line, Fuyuan is not a place where you can do whatever you want!" ”
Tuoba Yan laughed: "I did it, what can you do with me?" ”
Gao Jie said: "You have a lot of people now, and I have nothing to do, but I want to teach this brother to know that the distance is only ten miles, and my Fuyuan army is stationed, but I am afraid that I will not be able to transport it back." ”
"If I dare to rob it, I will naturally be able to get it back." Tuoba Yan sneered.
"You can try!" Gao Jie did not give in: "This brother, now we are allies and friends, you are poor food, our Jiang County Shou also knows, and every month we also allocate a lot of food to your Emperor Majesty, you can be regarded as provoking an incident and destroying the alliance between the two sides, for this bit of food, is it worth it?" This is only more than 20,000 catties, but I am afraid that you have robbed 20,000 catties, but what you have lost is 200,000 catties. ”
"If you dare to send us a pound of grain from Dayan, our Dayan army will go to Fuyuan to get it." Tuoba Yan didn't want to budge in the slightest.
Gao Jie sneered.
Murong Hai rode up to Tuoba Yan's side and said in a low voice: "General, this matter can't be a big deal, it's not time for us to turn our faces with them yet." ”
"Sooner or later, you have to turn your face, what's the difference between turning it early and turning it late?" Tuoba Yan stared at Gao Jie with beads in his eyes, but his mouth was answering Murong Hai's words.
"General, that's also a matter from above, let's not do it!" Murong Hai continued: "The Ming people are aggressive, but we are still unstable now, although we occupy the land of the three counties, but those Yue people in the county are inextricably linked with Jiang Haokun, don't you keep saying that you want us to restrain ourselves for the time being?" ”
Tuoba Yan glared at him viciously: "Lao Tzu is not affected by this nest of gas. ”
"For the time being, just patience for the time being." Murong Hai was startled when he saw Tuoba Yan lifting the horsewhip, for fear that this guy who didn't recognize the king of heaven would whip him. "General, you have a great future, you can't make a scapegoat for this bit of food, you really want to make trouble, we are a little person, but we are the first to be thrown."
Tuoba Yan snorted, and the horsewhip he lifted was slowly lowered.
Seeing Tuoba Yan's heartbeat, Murong Hai was overjoyed, and continued: "Anyway, you also have a way, our thousand brothers can't go hungry, what's wrong with him." ”
Tuoba Yan rolled his eyes, "Just retreat like this, Lao Tzu will have no face at all." Damn, didn't you say that no one came to greet the food team before, and if you rob it, you will rob it, and Lao Tzu will not admit it. Now it's going to be a problem, so why don't you just kill them all. ”
Murong Hai didn't expect Tuoba Yan to be so ruthless, and if he didn't agree with him, he would kill all the people on the other side.
"General, this is not going to work." He glanced at Gao Jie on the opposite side: "These grain carriers are easy to kill, but the other side is all cavalry, if you really want to make a move, although our number is several times that of the opponent, but if you want to annihilate them all, it is impossible, as long as you run away, it will be over." ”
"We have a thousand people, can we still let them run?" Tuoba Yan sneered.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, now the relationship between our two families is still good, I don't want to turn my face now, it's a big deal, I will definitely throw us out of the top tank, when the time comes, we will grab the food for Dayan, but we still have to be detained, why bother?" Murong Haidao.
Tuoba Yan licked her lips and nodded, "That's what you said." But I still have to decide on this grain. ”
Murong Hai smiled bitterly, dared to talk to himself for a long time, and played the piano to the cow.
Tuoba Yan didn't pay attention to him anymore, but he didn't pay attention to Gao Jie on the other side, and turned his eyes to the person behind him, who looked like the shopkeeper who was transporting grain, "You, come here!" ”
The palm-shaped man walked over slowly, but there was not much fear on his face.
"What's your name?" Tuoba Yan half-lay on his horse, looked at the other party and asked.
"The grass people will be Zhang An." The shopkeeper bowed and said.
"Who's your boss?" Tuoba Yan glanced at the dozen or two carts, "Your boss has hands and eyes, tens of thousands of catties of grain can easily pass through the blockade line to get here, it's amazing." ”
Zhang An stopped talking, looking down at his toes.
Tuoba Yan laughed: "Okay, I know you won't say it, but if you don't say it, I can find out." How much can 20,000 catties of grain be worth in the Ming Kingdom? ”
Zhang An smiled slightly: "Back to the general's words, this year's Ming wind and rain will be smooth, and a pound of grain is only twenty yuan." ”
Tuoba Yan's eyes rolled, "In this way, more than 20,000 catties of grain here are only worth four or five hundred taels of silver, how much do you sell them to Fuyuan?" ”
"Don't dare to deceive the general, 20,000 catties of grain are worth 2,000 taels of silver."
"Five times the windfall profits, no wonder some people take risks." Tuoba Yan sighed: "Don't say it's five times, even if it's two or three times, it's worth it." ”
Zhang An smiled: "This is just the price of rice, in fact, other places spend more money, and in the end, it will be twice as profitable." ”
"Of course, it costs money to buy off the border guards and local officials, and you can earn more than 1,000 taels of silver in one trip, and you will make a fortune if you go back and forth a few times a month." Tuoba Yan smiled and said authentically.
"It's this reason, but it also takes a great risk, once it fails, it will kill the head."
"Not bad, not bad." Tuoba Yan laughed and looked at Zhang An, with a malicious expression on his face: "Do you want to make a little more?" ”
Zhang An was stunned: "What does this mean, general?" ”
Tuoba Yan straightened up, took out a package in his arms, checked it in his hand, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Murong Hai, "Take it!" ”
Murong Haileng was stunned for a while, but he still didn't dare to refuse, and he also took out a package from his arms and handed it to Tuoba Yan.
"It's still not enough, go, take everything from every captain." Tuoba Yan waved his hand.
Murong Hai didn't dare to refuse, beat his horse and left, and after a while, he took a few small packages and handed them to Tuoba Yan.
Throwing all the packages in his hand to Zhang An, "You have made a fortune." I bought all the grain here, Fuyuan will give you no more than five times the profit, and I will give you ten times the profit here. ”
Zhang An looked at Tuoba Yan a little confused, but Gao Jie was furious: "What do you mean?" ”
"Why? You buy grain, I buy grain, whoever pays the highest price will get it, right? Tuoba Yan sneered.
Gao Jie's face twitched a few times, and he said substantially: "Then you have to see if he is willing to sell it to you!" ”
Tuoba Yan turned the horse whip in his hand and looked at Zhang An with a smile: "You don't want to sell?" ”
Zhang An made a slap, Tuoba Yan roasted him on the fire! Sell? That must have offended Gao Jie, it is not easy to establish such a stable smuggling channel, smuggling grain to Fuyuan, but it is not only his backstage boss who has lost such a lucrative business, but I am afraid that the above will not spare himself. If you don't sell it, this barbarian general will be annoyed, and if he really cuts it down, Gao Jie can still make decisions for himself, and he will die in vain.
All of a sudden, he was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"Boss Zhang is worried about the future?" Looking at her face, Tuoba Yan laughed softly.
"Not bad." Zhang An looked at the other party, "Doing business, paying attention to exchanges, fine water flows, although this general has a high price, but when you study it carefully, we still lose." ”
"Got it!" Tuoba Yan nodded: "Since your boss is doing this kind of business, then the ears and eyes must be very smart, Fuyuan is short of food, and our Dayan is even more short of food, so we need these food more urgently, you don't have to worry about the future, because we will become a regular customer in the future, as long as you can transport it, we will collect as much as we want, and" He laughed and glanced at Gao Jie: "And our prices are better than theirs." Doing business with us is a huge profit, we trade in gold, and we give money when we see the goods, and we can even pay a part in advance, how about it? ”
Zhang An turned his head and glanced at Gao Jie, food, now Fuyuan is short of four places, I didn't know how to open up a safe channel to trade with the Yan people before, I can only trade with Fuyuan, but now I send it to the door, but it is a pie in the sky, the key is that the barbarians are on their side, the reputation is not very good, and it is not certain whether the above will agree to this business. After all, it is a head-killing business, and making money is one-head, but saving one's life is more important.
Thinking clearly about the stakes, Zhang An arched his hand at Tuoba Yan: "When we do business, we naturally hope that the more guests there are, the better, this general, I don't know what to call it?" ”
Tuoba Yan laughed and tore off a waist card from his waist, "There is my name on it, in the future, when you come to Ningyuan, take this brand, and naturally pass unimpeded." So, you sold me all this grain. ”
"Of course." Zhang An bowed down and said, "Even if I am greedy for the amount of silver you give, I am also afraid of the knife in your hand." ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Tuoba Yan smiled: "I am a knowledgeable person, and I want to make more money, so I came to me, you want money, I want food, and I hit it off." We, the Yan people, are not short of gold and silver. ”
Gao Jie, who witnessed all this, knew that the matter was irreparable, snorted coldly, turned around and left, and then crossed here, it was purely embarrassing for himself, if he really wanted to make a move, he would definitely be the master who would suffer the loss in front of him.
Tuoba Yan sent some cavalry to drive the ox cart, but he fell behind, looked at Zhang An, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm waiting for you in Ningyuan." Not only food, but also other things, we can also trade. ”
