"It seems that Brother Zifang is also capable of countless people! I am really envious under it! Yang Tian said with a smile.
Mi Fang was not modest this time, and said: "This housekeeper is really good, and he is also a good hand in business, so my brother and I are very relieved to hand over some affairs to him." This time I brought him to Baiyun City, so that he could get to know your subordinates, General, and there may be a lot of time to deal with him in the future. ”
Yang Tiandao: "This is also a good thing. Brother Zifang, what you just said about planning to cooperate with me in Baiyun City in many aspects, I don't know what exactly you mean? ”
Mi Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the brother who cooperated also said something, but he also said that it mainly depends on your opinion, general. My brother is more optimistic about your fleet with strong transportation capacity and the strong manufacturing capacity of Baiyun City, if you guess correctly, all the armies in Baiyun City are self-sufficient in equipment, right? ”
Yang Tian said with a smile: "Brother Zifang really hit the nail on the head, and directly said the only aspect that I can get my hands on." I'm also a very straightforward person, Brother Zifang, just say how you plan to cooperate, right? ”
Mi Fang already had a draft, and said: "I think the general also knows something about my Mi clan, and our family's shops can be said to be all over the world, and they have unparalleled advantages in buying and selling goods. However, the territory of the Han Dynasty was vast, and it was very troublesome to transport many things, and the procurement of goods was also very scattered, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Knowing that you have an incredibly fast fleet, we intend to cooperate with you in depth. ”
Yang Tian also understood what Mi Fang meant, it was nothing more than wanting to buy or rent the ships of Baiyun City. At the same time, I also want to purchase some goods from Baiyun City. And the Mi family's favorite ship is naturally the Sea King transport ship, of course, whether it is also interested in the Sea King series of warships, Yang Tian is unknown. However, Yang Tian didn't plan to sell any of the ships in the Sea King series, and now these ships themselves are not enough, how can they be sold? If it was handed over to Baiyun City for transportation, Yang Tian was very willing. This was also Yang Tian's original plan.
At that moment, Yang Tian said: "Brother Zifang's intention is already clear, but our ships in Baiyun City are still very limited, and I am afraid that we will not be able to keep up with the needs of your family many times." I would like to ask, how many ships are needed if you want to fully meet the cargo transportation of your family? Among the ships I own. Each of the ships with the strongest transport capacity is capable of transporting 400,000 tons of goods, and of course, if it is to transport lighter weights, it will not be able to transport so much. ”
Mi Fang said in surprise: "Is the general's words true? It's rare to see such a large transport ship! That's far more than I estimated. Let me do the math......"
Mi Fang thought for a while and said, "If all of the general's transport ships are of this specification, then there are about five hundred of them that can meet the needs of our family." ”
Yang Tian was taken aback by this number, five hundred! What a huge number is that? From this, it can also be imagined how strong the Mi family is in business. With the current scale of all the territories of Baiyun City, in order to achieve the perfect dispatch of personnel and materials, almost a hundred or so Sea King transport ships are enough, and the actual demand is less than this number.
However, the Mi family is a giant in business. With the vast area and large population in the game world, the materials that need to be deployed every day are naturally massive, so it is understandable that 500 Sea King transport ships are needed.
Yang Tian said helplessly: "Brother Zifang, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, but I only have less than thirty such transport ships in the entire Baiyun City now. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet Brother Zifang's needs for a while. ”
Mi Fang smiled and said: "The general is too worried, I didn't think that the general would immediately take out five hundred such huge transport ships, this matter can be done slowly." What's more, I'm talking about our family's greatest needs, in fact, some not very urgent material transportation can be transported by horse-drawn carriage, but the manpower and material resources spent are much larger, and it takes longer. After deducting this part. Normally, it would be enough for our family to have two or three hundred such transport ships. ”
Yang Tiandao: "In this case, it is still acceptable." However, before talking about this, there is a reluctant request below, and I also ask Brother Zifang to give more consideration. ”
Mi Fang immediately said: "If the general has something to say, please say it directly, since it is our cooperation, it is natural that we need mutual benefit and reciprocity, and if the general has difficulties, we will naturally do our best to solve them." ”
Yang Tiandao: "That's the case, Brother Zifang also knows that I have a large number of troops under my command, but the proportion of cavalry in it is too small. It's not that my soldiers are not suitable for cavalry, but that my territory is located in the south, and there is a lack of high-quality horses, so the formation of cavalry has been delayed. Your Mi family's business tentacles are all over the world, and there should be people who are familiar with you in the Liangzhou area, I don't know if you can ask Brother Zifang to help and get a batch of war horses for you. ”
After Mi Fang heard this, he was a little surprised, war horses can be strategic materials in this society, even with the ability of the Mi family, it is impossible to get war horses lightly, after a while, Mi Fang took a sip of tea and asked, "I don't know how many war horses the general needs?" What grade? ”
Yang Tiandao: "I only need a high-grade war horse, the quantity!" Let's get 200,000 horses first! ”
"Poof...... Cough...... cough ......" Mi Fang took a sip of tea into her throat, but was immediately choked out again, and said, "General, are you sure you are not wrong?" 200,000 high-quality war horses? ”
A black line appeared on Yang Tian's forehead, is this 200,000 horses a lot? If it is a real history, 200,000 high-grade war horses is indeed a terrifying number, but in a game world that has expanded by a thousand times, this number should not be very large. Immediately, he said: "There is indeed a need for 200,000 high-grade war horses. ”
Mi Fang said: "According to our observation, the general, your Baiyun City only has about 200,000 soldiers and horses, is the general going to use all his subordinates to form cavalry?" I admit that the combat effectiveness of cavalry is stronger than that of infantry, but the limitations of cavalry are also much greater than that of infantry, as long as they enter the mountains or forests, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is not as good as that of ordinary infantry. ”
Yang Tian said with a smile: "Brother Zifang, I naturally know the truth you said, I am not stupid enough to use all the troops to form cavalry, after all, we are not here in the northern prairie." I need 200,000 high-grade war horses, partly to form my own cavalry to alleviate the shortcomings of Baiyun City's lack of high-mobility troops, and on the other hand, I also plan to select high-quality war horses among these 200,000 war horses to breed, so as to breed better war horses and improve the cavalry combat ability of Baiyun City. ”
Mi Fang suddenly said, "I see! The general is still real and far-sighted. Now that the general has already planned for this, I believe he has found an excellent pasture, right? ”
Yang Tiandao: "Indeed, there is a large island above the East China Sea, which used to be a swamp, but then the swamp dried up and became an endless grassland, which is perfect for grazing war horses." And I also have some special means, so it is naturally not a problem to cultivate better war horses. ”
Mi Fang was overjoyed and said: "In this case, then I will take the general's business, but when the general's horse farm can produce war horses, don't forget to hand over some of it to our Mi family for sale." ”
Yang Tian smiled: "Naturally, there is no problem. I don't know how long it will take Brother Zifang to get this batch of war horses? ”
The expression on Mi Fang's face was not very relaxed, and said: "After all, this is a high-grade war horse, no better than those ordinary horses, as long as you can get the money, you can have as much as you want, this kind of high-grade war horses are important strategic materials for the major forces, and they will not choose to sell these war horses unless they have to, including the nomads in the north." However, this is not unthinkable, as long as we can do what we like, it is not impossible to get these war horses. ”
Yang Tian suddenly understood, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zifang is wise, what these peoples on the grassland lack most is iron weapons and food, as long as we can provide them with these two materials, we are not afraid that they will not hand over the war horses to us." ”
Mi Fang said with a flat face: "General, this trading iron weapons and grain with nomads is against the ban of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be declared. Especially for a business family like our Mi family, if you get involved in these things, it will definitely lead to the disaster of extermination, so please be cautious. ”
Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Mi Fang meant, and said with a smile: "Brother Zifang, don't worry, I just want to add an elite cavalry to the Han Dynasty." After a while, I will send a subordinate to inspect the Bohai Sea area for me, and when the time comes, they will bring all the military food and weapons to conquer the nomads in that area. ”
Mi Fang suddenly understood, and said, "Fang must make proper arrangements for the general." ”
Yang Tian nodded and said with a smile: "Since this matter has been discussed, let's talk about the transport ship!" I wonder what kind of cooperation Brother Zifang intends to use in transportation? ”
Mi Fang said: "Why did the general teach me? ”
Yang Tiandao: "There are two strategies here, one is for the Mi family to purchase the transport ship wholly from here, and then the Mi family will completely control the use of the ship, and it is estimated that the service life of each transport ship should not be less than five years." The second is that I will set up a special transport fleet, which will be contributed by my Baiyun City, and will be responsible for the maintenance of ships and other matters. Your family only needs to pay a commission for the distance traveled each time you use the boat. I have strong sailors in Baiyun City, and the speed of the ship is much faster than the normal speed, and using this method, it can better ensure the timeliness of cargo delivery. (To be continued)
