Chapter 261 Business affairs

In Xu Yi's memory, after passing Delingha, it should be Dachaidan, and then crossing a mountain, you will reach Yumen Pass.

But that mountain... Xu Yi vaguely remembered that the winding mountain road was very steep at that time. This time, with so many chariots and supplies, Xu Yi was not sure whether he could cross the mountain smoothly.

When Xu Yi saw these merchants coming from the west, carrying a large amount of goods and carriages, he knew that a thousand years ago in his memory, there was a road where he could pass through the carriage road.

Before Xu Yi set out, he had in-depth research on the boundary state between Dasheng and Tubo.

From Lanzhou to Dunhuang, and then to Anxi, this line is almost all the front lines. The march in Dasheng and the route of mobilizing the army are basically the lines of Lanzhou, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayuguan and Dunhuang in later generations.

What about the routes for Tubo marching and mobilization? Xu Yi felt that there should be a way to go directly to Anxi from here.

Now it seems that this is true.

"If you can't get over Dang Jinshan, you can't directly arrive at the Anxi Protectorate's Office. Governor, I brought a lot of ingredients this time, and even the spices are quite full."

"You Anxi Army traveled west, and you must reach Khotan from the south. Although the Grand Commander's team brought enough food, you will get tired of eating your own dry food."

"Grandmaster, it's not that the old man wants to take advantage of the situation. He has brought such ingredients here for a lifetime, just to support the Anxi Army. Just give some more......"

Xu Yi was worried about how to get the westbound route from these merchants. As a result, Xu Yi took Li Guangbi, Xue Song, Xu Sishun Yingniang and others to the gathering site and was surrounded by a group of merchants.

The army cannot enter the gathering point, but fortunately, the Delingha area is an absolute oasis, and any camping place is quite good.

What's more, at this time, the army still needs to consider defense when setting up camps, even if the Tubo no longer harasses it.

So only Xu Yi and a few others entered the gathering site.

Xu Yi originally intended to inquire about the route, and even wanted to get rid of a few guides.

Unexpectedly, before I could speak, the merchants surrounded me without any worries.

It's really OK, it's really not easy to make money. The key is that the information of this group of merchants is so smooth that it is still open to this level and they are doing sales-friendly businesses.

It has been more than a month since Xu Yi and his friends left Shanzhou, and their whereabouts have indeed spread throughout the Western Regions, including their achievements.

In this case, it is normal for speculative merchants to think of the issue of supply to Shence Army. However, these merchants are not afraid of them...

Could it be that Dasheng’s name in the Western Regions was the so-called benevolent and righteous teacher?

"All the wise men, we are the army..."

Xu Yi didn't pretend, just asked in a face-to-face manner.

"The army also has to make a living! Grand Governor, we know that you are a military force, Dasheng's army, or Dasheng's army that fought all the way from Shanzhou. It is precisely because of this that we have to offer food and supplies to the Grand Governor...."

Uh, this made Xu Yi a little speechless.

Merchants are in any era who are fearless of death.

Xu Yi naturally understood the so-called offering. This is a war-torn area. People slid their heads on their belts to make some money. I am really embarrassed to take their dedication for nothing.

Besides, Xu Yi heard from the words of these merchants that most of these people are the people under his rule in the future, so how can they seize it?

However, since a group of merchants who dared to make money with their lives appeared at this time, Xu Yi didn't want to let it go...

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Since everyone is thinking about my army like this, I will naturally not treat myself badly. All wise men, do you think this is OK? Find a place to pass some samples of the goods and let's talk about it."

"Besides, since you are running from afar, you are always thinking about unloading the goods and returning empty-handed, right? This governor has also brought some things from Chang'an. If you are interested, you can also take a look. If you have suitable goods, you can bring some goods when you return."

As soon as Xu Yi's words fell, they were instantly praised.

If you don’t consider whether you have any favorite goods, it’s enough for the merchants to have Xu Yi’s words to lose money. As for the goods Xu Yi mentioned, it’s probably just a spoil. You just buy some symbolically, which can be considered as giving face to the governor.

In this wasteland and Gobi Desert, everyone knows that the price of food is the most expensive, and food and grass are also the most expensive for the army.

Besides, these merchants are supported by local forces in Anxi. It is better to say that local forces in Anxi should be inquiring about the future behavior of this great governor in advance.

Xu Yi's reputation was exerted throughout the journey, and the local forces in Anxi heard about it, so naturally they needed to further inquire and contact.

Xu Yi knew this very well.

In this largest tent...

"Lord, these people..."

After putting the tent on guard, Li Guangbi said to Xu Yi a little worriedly. As soon as he mentioned the topic, Xu Yi interrupted: "Brother Guangbi, are you saying that they are not just merchants, right? It doesn't matter. Since they are in the name of merchants, then we can do business as merchants."

"Others... We have not only been able to fight since we planned to build Xiliuying Military City. Xiliuying Military City was originally the largest workshop and largest industrial base in Dashengchao."

When it comes to Xu Yi's best, he thinks that his best skills are not fighting, but doing business. No matter what, he has come from an era of huge and abundant supplies. Even if he packs up some pieces of money, he may not be as good as the merchants of this era.

Besides, in this era, Xu Yi thought that no one had more new products than his own.

So Xu Yi asked someone to bring in a lot of things from the outside military camp...

What these merchants carry are nothing more than some specialties and some foods, even in Chang'an.

It can be carried by Xu Yi...

"Governor, this is not a candle, but it is not sesame oil. Governor's oil lamp......"

Without burying Xu Yi's arrangement, the entire tent was brightly lit. After the merchants brought their goods in, someone noticed the kerosene lamp lit by Xu Yi in the tent.

These kerosene lamps are not only old-fashioned simple oil lamps for civil use, but Xu Yi has even arranged many horse lanterns that have not been shown in Chang'an.

"Oh, this is a horse lantern. A kerosene lamp that can be carried and can be warded off the weather. It can be hung on the horse when riding a horse at night. This time, this governor was in Anxi. Considering the needs of Anxi and Anjing, he specially developed such a horse lantern for cavalry to use."

Xu Yi said it casually, but all the merchants in the entire tent were not so casual.

What is this concept? Especially for these merchants who have long borrowed horse power.

"Oh, by the way, for this reason, considering the cost, our governor also made an oil product called kerosene, which is more cost-effective than sesame oil."
