Chapter 33: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"Brother, disaster relief is a technical job," Liu Han frowned, and sighed: "If the grain is going to be released from the customs, does the general approve it? How much grain is approved to be released from the customs? Also, since the general has written to the imperial court, when will the imperial court approve it? Third, if we sell grain, how will the noble tribe pay for the grain? These are all crucial matters. ”

Tuoba Ying let out a long breath, his mind was a little confused, in his opinion, it was a very simple matter, in the past, the imperial court sent grain to the tribe, and the tribe was divided, so there was so much trouble.

"Well, there are a few things that must be determined in advance, does the General's Mansion agree? This must be something in writing, otherwise the grain will not be able to leave the customs. Liu Han slowly sorted out his thoughts and raised a finger: "You must be sure of this one." ”

Tuoba Ying nodded dejectedly, and Liu Han raised a second finger: "It is impossible for our trading company to cover it for too long, when will the relief of the imperial court come down?"

Tuoba Ying sighed in frustration, and Liu Han also sighed with him: "Also, how to pay, have you thought about it?"

"Even if it's not a problem before, the tribe can't afford to spend so much money to buy food. "Tuoba Eagle is completely desperate.

Liu Han frowned and thought about it: "If you can't come up with so much money at one time, you can pay in installments, if you can't give it this year and next year, this problem is not a big problem, the key is that the General's Mansion must agree." ”

Tuoba Ying perked up when he heard this: "This is proposed by the general, he shouldn't regret it." ”

"General Qiu is about to return to the DPRK, he naturally won't say anything, but he is about to leave," Liu Han considered his words: "Brother, without approval, no one in Liangzhou dares to send grain to your tribe." ”

"I immediately went to him. Tuoba Ying got up and was about to leave, but Liu Han hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be busy, let's sum things up clearly and finish things at once." ”

Tuoba Ying sat down again, Liu Han ordered someone to bring pen and ink, and listed the things to be done one by one, the more Liu Han wrote the more doubts in his heart became, he felt that this was not a trick by Qiuyun or someone else, this is not as simple as sending food, the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai have not yet fully surrendered, once there is anything in the future, and the crime of supporting the enemy with grain will be charged, then the entire Hanhai Trading Company will be uprooted.

Thinking of this, he stopped his pen and paced back and forth in the house, which was too riskier than business, first of all, it was a trouble to recover the funds, and secondly, there were endless troubles. With such a big risk, what about the benefits?

First of all, you can harvest the friendship of the Tuoba tribe, which is one of the two major tribes outside the Saiwai, which is a powerful force, and there is a way out in the future; secondly, you can find a stable customer for the trading company, from this point of view, this business can be done, but the risk must be controlled to the minimum.

Tuoba Ying looked at Liu Han, very puzzled, I don't know what makes him so difficult, Qiuyun there, he can go and ask, pay, can pay in installments, in this way, most of the difficulties have been solved, is there anything else to be embarrassed?

"There's a question I just overlooked. Liu Han stopped and looked at Tuoba Ying and said, Tuoba Ying became nervous again, and asked some questions repeatedly.

"There is no grain in the trading company," Liu Han frowned and said in embarrassment: "The grain is in the hands of the wealthy families, if we want to send you grain, we have to buy grain from them first, but what if they don't sell it?"

Tuoba Ying is a genius in practice, at least among the Tuoba tribe, but he is completely unfamiliar with these things, so he can only follow Liu Han's train of thought.

But he didn't know if these scholars would sell them grain.

"Brother, in this way, you must get the document issued by General Qiu, however, General Qiu will return to the dynasty soon, so you also need to get the certificate of Duanmu Zhengkai, with these two things, we can buy grain, see if those scholars are willing to sell grain to you?"

"Sell it to us?" Tuoba Ying was very surprised, Liu Han nodded, and explained: "The trading company can't come forward to buy grain, you come forward to buy grain, if they don't sell it, let Duanmu Zheng and Wuming help, so the success rate can be higher." ”

Liu Han came up with another thought: "In the past, if there was no relief from the imperial court, what kind of methods would you take?"

Tuoba Ying was slightly embarrassed, Liu Han looked at him, Tuoba Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Generally, we go to the Jin Realm to hunt, and we can hunt as much as we can." ”

"If the Jin Realm is heavily guarded, you can't get in?"

"Then the only way to go north is to grab the cattle and sheep of other tribes. Tuoba Ying said, his expression is very natural, this is the way to survive on the grassland, kill others, let yourself live, you don't need any reason, survival is the best reason.

"Then to the north, or to the west. Liu Han categorically suggested, as if he didn't know what consequences this suggestion would bring to the grassland, he now faintly grasped Qiuyun's idea, Qiuyun wanted to take advantage of the difficulties of the grassland, force the Tuoba tribe to send troops, in order to ensure the safety of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and even the Western Regions. Liu Han estimated that all the passes on the border of Liangzhou had strengthened their forces and strengthened their combat readiness, and if the Tuoba tribe did not send troops to the west and north, Qiuyun would immediately cut off their food and let them starve to death on the grassland.

"But we don't have much food, the cattle are starving to death, and the horses are short of fodder. Tuoba Ying explained anxiously.

Liu Han was very alert, and immediately asked, "Do you have this plan?"

Tuoba Ying nodded hesitantly, Liu Han spewed out a rough breath, and cursed Qiuyun in his heart, it seems that this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, first let the Hanhai Trading Company send grain to the Tuoba tribe, forcing the Tuoba tribe to attack to the north or west, and secondly, leave a tail for the Hanhai Trading Company, once something happens in the future, you can use this to coerce the trading company to comply.

What a poisonous plan!

Is this pit jumping or not jumping?

Jump!

Liu Han figured it out almost instantly, just last time, when Duanmu was learning about the situation in the Western Regions from him, I am afraid that Qiu Yun came up with this plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and the only uncertain thing about this plan was the Hanhai Trading Company.

There are many trading companies in Liangzhou, but the slightly larger ones are controlled by the Shi clan, Qiuyun can't force them to send grain to the Tuoba tribe, but the Hanhai Trading Company is just a civilian trading company, and the scale is the largest in Liangyongqin and Qin Prefectures, who don't force them?

The biggest flaw in this plan is that Qiu Yun misjudged, he didn't know that he came back this time to come back desperately, and the Western Regions were no longer important to him.

But the Tuoba tribe may be very important to him in the future, the Tuoba tribe is not only a Tuoba tribe, but more importantly, he is a Xianbei person, he helped the Tuoba tribe, I believe that this matter will slowly spread throughout Xianbei, and maybe this is his retreat in the future.

"Brother, it seems that you can only survive the disaster in the way of the grassland," Liu Han sighed and said after thinking about the cause and effect: "Grain, Hanhai Trading Company can provide some of it, but it is definitely not enough, so you need to come forward and buy some yourself,"

"But.."

Liu Han stretched out his hand to stop him from interjecting, and continued: "I know you don't have much money, you don't, but I do, I lend you money, you use it to buy grain, you can repay the money in two ways, your army goes north, and you pay me back with the looted booty, and the other is to repay me with next year's output." What do you think of this?"

Tuoba Ying thought about it, slowly smiled, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!

Whether it is the spoils of war or the return of the output next year, as long as this year's hurdle is passed, it will be easy to say anything next year.

"In this way, I will draw up a plan, you send it to your father Khan to see, I may leave for the imperial capital in three or four days, brother Xian, tell your father Khan, send someone as soon as possible, and I will arrange for someone to accompany your army to conquer and receive the spoils of war at the same time. ”

Tuoba Ying was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Liu Han to draft an agreement, the Xianbei people have no writing, and the correspondence documents are all Jin writing. Liu Han quickly drafted two documents, and asked Tuoba Ying to send them back immediately, from Guzang to Tuoba tribe, the dodo flew in one day, and the back and forth was exactly two days.

Tuoba Ying took the paperwork and walked away in a hurry, the first task given to him by Tuoba Feng was completed, and he was considered to have unloaded a big burden.
