A group of cowering fishskin tartars gathered, their goods too small and inconspicuous, and all they wanted to trade was grain, and grain was not the mainstream of trade. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Russians also want food, they grow and cultivate in the newly colonized areas, but the production of food is quite limited, they also have the trouble of food shortage, it is difficult to eat, it is normal to have a small amount of black bread and vegetable soup, which is a very good meal.

The people of this era are very hard, including these colonists, their average life expectancy is very short, but people who see the hope of making a fortune still flock to it, of course, the Tsar and other Russian high-level people also send as many people as possible to the new territory, at first to use profits to attract large families, and then to use the method of exile, quite effective, Russian cities in the Far East almost developed in this way.

It may be that in the future, Hutchison will open up a special line for grain transportation, but it is unlikely that in the short term, the profit of grain prices will shrink with the extension of the route, and the Russians will not be able to pay as high prices as the Dongyu, who want to maintain the existence of a regime, and their food shortage is much more serious, so there is a massacre in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, if the large number of people can not provide benefits but make the regime difficult, it is better to kill.

This is the way of thinking of slave owners, and of course it is correct from a certain point of view.

"You want to change food?"

Wang Yan picked up a pearl and looked at it, probably because they were not interested in these small tribes, most of their pearls remained, and they were in quite good condition, crystal clear, the outer layer was frosty white, and the inner layer was a layer of crystal color, and the whole bead exuded a soft luster, which made people feel intoxicated.

"It's for food." The people of these small tribes did not even have a shop, so they set up stalls directly in the streets, but fortunately, no one came to drive them away. The stall set-up and Wang Yan both spoke in Mongolian, and the other party replied a little nervously: "We don't want anything else, we want food." ”

"You're not stupid." Wang Yan scolded with a smile: "I will give you silver, is it not good for you to use the silver to buy grain?" ”

"We don't want anything else." The Oroqen people still insisted: "I want food." ”

"A bunch of stupid donkeys."

Wang Yan shook his head, stood up and left.

The other party looked disappointed and blinked a few times, but he didn't mean to stop Wang Yan.

The tricks used by the Han merchants, these fishskin tartars or deerskin tartars had no idea at all, they did not know or ignored gold and silver, and like the early tribes, they only knew how to trade in kind.

Wang Yan originally planned to forget it, but looking at the face of the gang of Tartars who had been affected by wind and frost, he didn't feel a softening in his heart.

He walked to the side of the road, hired a freight cart, and then took people to the only trading house in the city, and bought a truckload of grain with silver, Hutchison has no plans to buy and sell grain on a large scale at this stage, and open up a grain transportation route, but it does not mean that there is a shortage of grain in the city, in fact, there is no shortage of food in the city, and Hutchison has several military forts along the way, and it is also a grain storage point, and the total grain has been stored 600,000 stones, which is quite a terrifying number, but it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for Hutchison.

No one knows the specific grain storage figures, but they know that they have been storing grain on a scale of more than one million stone every year over the years, and there are many people who eat it, but they collect more.

Many people estimate that the military department has more than 3 million stone of grain reserves, but in the past two years, it has to add 3 million mu of land in Monankai, beans, sorghum, millet, and a large amount of sweet potatoes.

No one can say exactly how much, only know that the supply of miscellaneous grains is unimpeded, and wheat is also supplied as long as the silver taels are paid at the market price, of course, there are restrictions, not as much as you want.

Wang Yan bought more than 50 stones, nearly 7,000 catties of grain, and when he returned with a cart full of grain, all the fish skin tartars were wide-eyed.

"This cart can't go far, but it can help you get to your lodging outside the city, and I know you have some horses, so put the grain on the horses and bring it back." Don't rush to leave here, learn more and see more. Wang Yan smiled and said: "You must always blend in, don't be stubborn, there will be no bad people who want to deceive you." I really feel deceived, there are marketing officials here, our people in Hutchison, and they told them that they will administer justice for you. Okay, now you can see how many beads you can exchange for me, to pick a good one, I will take it back to the old lady and daughter-in-law, if the pick is not good, next time there will be no such good buyer as me. ”

A group of fishskin tartars looked at each other, of course they wanted to exchange for food, but they never thought that the beads that came out of the river could be exchanged for so much food!

Everyone did not hesitate, and dozens of people knelt down.

This etiquette is also the highest etiquette among these small tribes, symbolizing their unreserved respect and gratitude.

Wang Yan said: "Don't be like this, hurry up." ”

Unexpectedly, more people knelt down, and many of the people were holding the biggest and best pearls in their hands and stuffing them directly into Wang Yan's hands.

"Not so much, too much." Wang Yan was sweating profusely, he didn't expect that his momentary soft-heartedness would cause a lot of trouble, and at the same time, both sides underestimated the status of their goods in each other's hearts.

A good Dongzhu may be able to sell for hundreds of thousands of taels in Beijing, and a stone of grain is now less than a tael of silver in Datong, and the cost and transportation costs here in Mobei are not more than three taels, and a stone of grain in Jiangnan is only five cents of silver, a cart of grain is less than twenty taels of silver in Jiangnan, and a Dongzhu must be sold for a thousand taels in Jiangnan, but it is meaningless to ignore the calculation of local and various costs.

Dongzhu is a beautiful stone in the hands of these barbarians, and food is the most important thing, a cart of grain is enough for the entire tribe to be free from hunger and cold for at least a month, and it can save a lot of lives in winter, which is much more important than Dongzhu.

"Alright, alright, that's enough." Wang Yan was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly picked up the Dongzhu with a palm, and then resolutely refused the request to take it again.

Many of the tribes along the Krulun River watched with their eyes, and of course they needed food, and the more the better.

Then there were iron and cotton.

In addition to this, they need medicine.

Fine porcelain or silk is really something they don't need at all, and they want tea bricks, but not the most urgent.

When Wang Yan left, the people of these tribes all showed a look of disappointment. It's not that they haven't done the preliminary work, but the Russians want the grain, the Mongols also want it, and Hutchison doesn't provide large-scale grain trade, and if Wang Yan is not an insider, there is no way to easily buy a truckload of grain.

In fact, Wang Yan's approach was illegal, but he didn't realize it at the time, this is also a loophole, and there will be new regulations and regulations to fill the gap soon after it appears, otherwise the internal personnel of the military department can get considerable benefits by buying grain, which is so big that people ignore self-esteem and military discipline, after all, the huge amount of wealth that Wang Yan can refuse, not everyone can refuse.

Never use human nature to test greed, but use the system to plug all loopholes, which is what Zhang Han has always insisted on.

"I've seen adults." Wang Yan walked to the drum tower sweating profusely, and Zhang Han had already sent someone to call him up.

When he was going upstairs, he met a veteran-like team officer, Wang Yan didn't know him, but nodded politely.

The other party took the initiative to give a military salute, and Wang Yan smiled when he returned the salute: "I am Wang Yan, the staff officer of the Fourth Regiment of the Taiwan Marching Division, who is my brother?" ”

"I am Wang Jingzhong, the squad officer of the third battalion of the Ninth Dragoon Regiment." The old soldier introduced himself with a smile and at the same time lowered his hand.

"It turned out to be the king's command." Wang Yan immediately remembered who the other party was, from a brigade-level commander who was brave and good at fighting and making countless meritorious contributions, he was directly converted into a soldier, and there was no second one in Hutchison.

Wang Jingzhong said with a smile: "It's better to call me Team Officer Wang, when I am a senior, this is considered an honorific title." ”

"Okay." Wang Yan smiled and said: "We are our own family, I will call you Brother Sheng in private...... Brother, you have made us miserable, Taiwan has been rectifying for half a month, and the jaws of the military judges are almost tilted to the sky. ”

Wang Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "I don't know how many times I've heard something like this, I'm sorry anyway." ”

That is, it has been so long that Wang Yan has brought up this topic so easily, and Wang Jingzhong can also face it calmly.

"Well, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to work with my brother." Wang Yan said very frankly: "At the beginning, we didn't have good things to say about my brother, and I have to pay for it." ”

"This is also expected......" Wang Jingzhong didn't expect this black and thin little brother to be so honest, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight lately." The two officers climbed up the ranks, the drum tower was five stories high, for ordinary people to go up to the top floor for fear of panting, for the two officers who had undergone strict physical training, that is, a matter of lifting their legs a few more times, it was nothing.

"I recently followed Officer Zhou Yaozhou, well, to be precise, he received special training for a group of staff officers."

"Ah," Wang Jingzhong glanced at Wang Yan with sympathetic eyes, and said, "Now I understand." ”

"We swam thirteen times in the middle of the night in the Krulen River." Wang Yan pondered: "I don't understand why a battle has to go back and forth so many times, we still have to try to hold the map bag as high as possible, not to get wet, and then I fainted, and then I was woken up and continued next time." ”

"It's more than that, isn't it?" Wang Jingzhong said with a smile: "If his training was only in terms of physical fitness, he would not go to the Military Training Department." ”

"Well, mental limits and physical limits, obedience, coordination, equestrianism, escape skills, all kinds of things, and they are trained according to different classes." Wang Yan said: "Fortunately, we all survived. ”

"I've heard that you've vomited a lot of people when you draw pictures."

"I'm one of them." Wang Yan said: "Officer Zhou said that a staff officer who cannot provide a map in the fastest time and give appropriate tactical advice, and provides a general strategic idea in peacetime according to the terrain and military intelligence of various places, then he is not a qualified staff officer. Regardless of the level, you have to be trained by him...... What about the liar, why didn't he train Master Sun and Xia Xiping. ”

"Xia Xiping has received physical training."

"What?"

"Judge Sun has also accepted it."

Wang Jingzhong looked at Wang Yan with a stunned face, and smiled: "Do you think that there is really a special class in our Hutchison?" All military training programs include the highest rank of officers, including the Wang team officer and the deputy political officer Liang. ”

Wang Yan knew that Wang Jingzhong always called Wang Changfu an old team officer or Wang team officer, he was Wang Changfu's subordinate in the border army at night, and he was used to it for many years, and he may be suspected of clinging when Wang Changfu Xuanhe was here, but now Wang Changfu has been marginalized, although the group is still there, but many people have changed their words in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Jingzhong was brushed to the end, and there is still such a backbone, which is also quite a rare thing.

Now Wang Yan somewhat understands why this veteran officer was also selected to become a member of the officer corps going to Taiwan.
