The four words of after-sales service are indeed new words, but the meaning of the words is really clear, and everyone below immediately understands it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Since such a promise is given, Wang Tong's proposal can indeed make people think carefully, doing business in the Ming Dynasty requires shopkeepers and storefronts, and it doesn't take too many people, but doing business on the grassland, who doesn't have dozens or even hundreds of young people, these people say that they are guys, but they can walk on the grassland, and when they really want to meet blood, these people will also go up.

If you go further afield, you have to recruit more people, but you can make more money, and if you have these equipment, it's all worth it.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to let everyone make a decision, he got out of the carriage, talked a few words with several great merchants, and went back to his camp.

Although Wang Tong left, in this area, several light artillery pieces were dragged in the exhibition, cavalry, foot soldiers, artillery, as well as firearms, artillery, armor, carts and other equipment, all of which were watched at will, at will, nothing more than military guidance.

At first, the merchants stayed in the outer circle to watch, but now the soldiers were very kind, and they got closer and closer, and even began to talk and ask.

After hearing Wang Tong's words, many people felt that they were watching a drama and watching the excitement when they watched the weapons and military drills, but now they have to take a serious look at it and make it as clear as possible.

Some people also brought the iron armor and leather armor that had just been used as a target, studied and watched it carefully, and asked the soldiers to try firing again to see if they could penetrate the iron armor.

The result was naturally not suspenseful, the iron armor was pierced by the fire, this result made everyone nod frequently, and some people deliberately walked from the place where the fire was fired to the target to measure the distance.

Those who do business in the world, except for the imperial merchants and salt merchants, who sit on the ground to collect money, the rest of the businessmen must be careful in their business, and they must have a judgment and study on everything before they can draw conclusions.

The officers and soldiers in the open space had already been instructed to answer all questions, and they never got tired of the merchants' requirements, repeating the actions over and over again, such as connecting the baffles of the carts, and then getting on the cars to prepare for defense, such as the repeated loading and firing of the musketeers, so that the merchants could see carefully.

The businessmen who were familiar with each other in the field also gathered together to discuss, what did Lord Qincha say, there were many well-informed people, the Tartar cavalry of the Naturalized City, there were horses, swords, guns, bows and arrows, many people were also wearing armor, and even large siege equipment, they knew this, but they also knew that there were many small tribes on the grassland, and the arrows used by the herdsmen in archery were still made of bones, and the swords were rusted. The robe was wrapped around the body, and it was used as armor.

Such a small tribe is weak, but it is this kind of small tribe that often rushes out to rob the caravan on the grassland, it is nothing more than the poor people's lives are worthless, dare to rush desperately, and run fast on horseback, and the horse thieves are also similar to the regulations, and can have a few more iron tools than these small tribes.

If it is said that with the weapons promised by Wang Tong, it is indeed very easy to deal with these small tribes and horse thieves, even if you don't rob them, you can be safe and worry-free when walking on the grassland.

Although many people have seen the carriage of the Huwei Army in Datong and Shanxi, it is better to look at it from a distance than to see it up close, and there are already imitation carts in Shanxi, but today I know that there are so many exquisite, such as the detachable baffle, axle and spoke, and the iron regulation of the circlip.

Some people even asked the soldiers of the Huwei Army to put bags of soil on the cart to see how much they could hold when they were fully loaded, and then went back to discuss.

"With so many things, if you can keep it, you can really go far"

"The business on the three sides of Shaanxi is not doing well, and the tribes of the Western Regions who are born in Yili Bari are very rich, if they can do business over there"

"This firearm and that small cannon, can they be sold, don't look at the good things now, if it's not good in our hands, what should we do?"

"Look at this Lord Qincha is easy to talk to, it's better to set a rule, test shot, if it's not easy to use, we don't want it, he wants to do a long-term business"

There was a lot of discussion, but no one had any doubts about anything else, just pondering some details, Wang Tong seemed to have suddenly opened a door for them, and the complete victory of Naturalization City also added countless confidence to them, it turned out that the Tartars were so vulnerable, it turned out that we could do business so far.

According to what Wang Tong said, using such a cart to pull goods, guarding caravans with firearms, and going to farther places to do business and trade, this person no longer has any doubts, and what everyone is concerned about now is how their own people can learn these weapons and how to use them.

Regarding this, Wang Tong said vaguely, and everyone was also skeptical, and this was the one they were most concerned about, but this garden party had reached this level, and everyone had learned and known a lot of information.

Not long after staying here, the Hanmin merchants in the city also began to send people to invite them, they were either old acquaintances in the past, or they needed to buy and sell, and they robbed so many things, many things could not be kept in their hands, and they needed to be exchanged for the materials they needed as soon as possible.

****************

It was also very lively in Wang Tong's handsome tent, and it was not only the merchants from Shanxi who came from Datong, but also the people from Xuanfu and Tianjin Wei.

"Gu Zibin, this year hasn't passed, have there been any turmoil along the way?"

Listening to Wang Tong greeted with a smile, Gu Zibin, who was below, stood up and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the master led the troops to fight life and death on the grassland, the small one is just waiting in Shanxi, it is already ashamed, thanks to the blessing of the master, it was very peaceful along the way, and I didn't encounter anything." ā€

Wang Tong nodded, motioned for Gu Zibin to sit down, and said again: "There are a lot of loot in the city, this must be transported back as soon as possible, and now the trade route has been cut off for a while, and many materials in the city are lacking, you should lead someone to investigate it as soon as possible, and then transport it!" ā€

Gu Zibin hurriedly nodded in agreement, Wang Tong tapped his fingers on the table, and said one by one: "Let Sanjiang Commercial Bank become the largest merchant in this naturalized city, and control the trade of several necessities in your hands, this should not be difficult, hurry up and transfer people from the mainland, these fields and populations outside the city should be sorted out as soon as possible, and first according to the rules of the farm like the one in the north of our Tianjin Wei." ā€

Gu Zibin hurriedly agreed, paused and said: "The situation outside the city has just heard Xiao Chen and them say, those serfs were made by Tartar as if they were livestock, many people are in very bad health, and some are about to starve to death, and they have to ask the master to allocate grain here, but now if you want to mobilize food from Datong, I'm afraid it's too late, and because of the purchase of military food, the price of grain has been thirty percent higher than the current price, and the purchase is probably also costly." ā€

Wang Tong pondered for a moment, turned his head and said to Cai Nan with a smile: "Prison army, after the city was broken, several large grain tuns in the Tartars were burned, right?" ā€

Cai Nan, who was sitting on the side, was stunned, then reacted, turned around and took out a book from the bookcase, took a brush and corrected it a few times, and said: "What the adults said is that the grain was set on fire by the Tartars, and it was burned a lot, and it was too late to put it out!" ā€

Wang Tong nodded, and said to Gu Zibin: "The grain in the city can be transferred outside the city today, and if you need manpower, you can borrow it from those Han people in the city to relieve and appease it as soon as possible, and the hearts of these 200,000 Han people should be grasped in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and don't give the treacherous villain a chance to take advantage of it." ā€

The so-called burned grain tun is naturally intact, but after one or two corrections are made in the accounts, it becomes burned, and it can be called at will.

When Gu Zibin heard this arrangement, he bowed down and thanked him, and said: "The situation of those serfs and Han people is too miserable, originally Xiao Chen also thought that although they were poor, they should also have some food in stock, so they were negligent after giving relief once, but the day before yesterday, there were Han *** who asked for help, and then I knew what a point it had reached over there, I heard that the Tartars are like this every year, regardless of life or death, and the shortfall is made up by plunder, and the batch of grain allocated by the lord should be enough for them to sow and harvest!" ā€

The city was broken too suddenly, and some people from the Ministry of Answering thought of setting fire to the granary, but it was too late, and it didn't burn for long at all, and it was extinguished by the Ming army who arrived, and the amount of grain stored in the city can be described as huge, and there are many large grain tuns outside the city.

The Ministry of Albert has accumulated grain and learned the equipment for siege of the city, and the plan is very big, but if it is less deductible and exploitative, it is better to treat the serfs better, and turn these people into their own strength, then how the battle will be, I am afraid that the victory or defeat is still unknown, but now these grain cantons have become Wang Tong's tool to seize the hearts of the people.

Wang Tong glanced at Cai Nan, Cai Nan cleared his throat, and also spoke: "Gu Dongjia, the grassland is chaotic and lawless, since Sanjiang Commercial Bank wants to be the largest commercial house, it must also establish the largest escort team, and the manpower, horses, and weapons are all drawn up and reported as soon as possible. ā€

When Wang Tong was not in Tianjin Wei, Cai Nan was the highest status in Wang Tong's system, although it was only a military affair, but other things could also be ordered, and it was inconvenient for Wang Tong to speak about such things as the escort team, but it was up to Cai Nan to say it. Gu Zibin hurriedly agreed, and Wang Tong added: "The guards should not be confined to the Han people, those small departments, those in the Western Regions, and those in Wuliangha, as long as they are not born and raised locally, they can be used, but there is one thing you have to remember, any firearms workshop cannot be located in Guihua City, only in Shanxi, and this freight is rather subsidized by the general number!" ā€

While he was talking, someone outside reported that Yang had come in, and Yang Jin, the deputy general of Jizhen Town, walked into the tent, and said in a deep voice after seeing the salute: "Dashuai, selling weapons to merchants, this thing is not appropriate."
