Chapter 189: Unable to speak
Wang Ju did it perfectly, but Zhang Feng was still suspicious.
"My husband, the country formulates laws, one is to maintain national order, and the other is to promote good and stop evil. Therefore, many officials not only follow the law when deciding cases, but also follow the stories of the previous dynasty and local people and land to determine cases."
Wang Ju said embarrassedly.
I was embarrassed to do this. Zhang Qi spent a long time running around for these two cases and suffered a lot. He used to hide the truth by himself and covered up the truth. Whether it was the same year or a friend, he did not do it well.
"Zi'an, you."
Although Wang Ju did it cleanly, Zhang Feng still disagreed and it was not worth it. If you don’t want others to know, you will not do it yourself. If it is leaked, you will have your own political life.
"You will understand in the future."
Wang Ju took Hu Qian and others out of the city, but did not let Hu Qian go back. Although the case was decided like this, the Li family might not be convinced. This was in the limelight, so let Hu Qian go back to the military camp first.
But facing the powerful Sun Mian, the Li family had no chance.
Moreover, the confession insisted that the cause was mostly related to the Li family. It was his family who was unkind and that Qin Wulang defected to Heifeng Village and then took over Zhao Dutou, and Feng Yuanwai and He Yuanwai. At that time, the three families would inevitably make a big fuss. Hu Qian was the Qingzhou version of Wu Song, which cleared the suspicion. The Li family was somewhat afraid. At that time, the Li family was not a human being, so Hu Qian could go back.
After leaving the city, Hu Qian and his friends lie down: "I thanked the magistrate, and I will repay you with death in the future."
Hu Qian didn't know how to rescue them, and Zhang Xie couldn't figure out the whole story. But Hu Qian knew that it would take Wang Ju a lot of thought.
"Since I rescued you, why are you talking about death and death? Get up."
Wang Ju said, and he looked at the mountains and steep in the distance again, and Hu Qian released it.
Li Sangou ordered his job to get it.
The court also agreed to research and development.
Although there are still some mountains ahead to climb, he has already crossed three or four mountains. Thinking of this, he almost wants to whistle.
…………
The wheels of the cart kept ringing.
Zhu Qing rode on the horse and felt a little satisfied. This was probably the most courageous private businessman in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Behind him were all big carts pulled by mules, cows, and donkeys. The carts were filled with wine, cloth, tea, porcelain and other supplies. Not only him, but also other merchants. The wine belonged to Zhu and Li families, while the other goods belonged to everyone.
A large group of people and more than 200 large cars drove blatantly to the border.
Manager Chu said: "This is the most enjoyable transaction I have ever had in my life."
"So too."
Both of them were very happy at the same time.
The group came to the border.
The man came over from the river, first looked at other supplies, then smoked a few jars of wine, slapped Kaifeng mud, tasted it, and said, "Good wine."
"Where is the horse?"
The man whistled, and fifty horses were pulled out across the river.
The situations handled by private businessmen are different. Xixia only controls horses strictly, and does not care about the others at all. Whether it is output or input, the more the better. Even if it is Xia Guojian, as long as the merchant can sell it, Xixia will not forcefully control it. This is also forced by the situation. It is best to sell green salt to the Song Dynasty, but that is impossible. Xixia is poor and lacks anything, so the rest has to barter.
However, it is still possible to bring horses to the small scale. For example, when the man came here this time, he rode a horse, which could not be stopped, but when he returned, he rode a camel and bull. In the past, most of the private horses in Xixia were brought to the Song Dynasty in this way, but it was difficult to sell horses on a large scale.
Zhu Qing looked at dozens of horses carefully.
It is not the best horse, but as this great man said, it is all the specifications of second-class horses or above in the Song Dynasty.
Horses are only part of the transaction, as well as fur, medicinal materials and jade. Someone is also sent here to see the goods.
After reading it, everyone starts trading.
Zhu Qing pulled the man aside and said, "I still have 50,000 kilograms of wine in my hand. Can I change the fur and jade?"
"Okay."
The two of them put their hands into each other's sleeves and began to discuss business.
Zhu Qing said: "The autumn wind is getting colder, it's better on your side, under Yinshan Mountain, outside Helan Mountain, Tatars, and the desert..."
Obviously, the price offered by the big man made Zhu Qing dissatisfied, so Zhu Qing reminded the big man.
"Transporting there is more troublesome than trading with you Song people."
"It is impossible to use the price of a horse anymore. For this horse, we are losing money and making a profit."
"Let's add a little more."
"It's not OK. Business is mutually beneficial. If you are not sincere, we have to switch to the security guards. At most, we will pay more taxes, which is more cost-effective than you, and sales are not limited."
The two continued to talk, and it took a long time to negotiate the business.
Zhu Qing said it was impossible to lose money, but he didn't make any money at the beginning. Although he bought wine, he had to wait for a while for the wine to be brewed. It would be best to wait until the autumn millet comes up and exchange new millet for old millet. At that time, buying old millet would be very cheap, and the cost of wine would be reduced. But now it is not brewing wine, but buying other people's wine to steam. Therefore, the cost is relatively high, plus freight and labor costs, but he barely maintains the thirty-tonnes per horse money from the court.
But even if you make wine, if you spend fifty stakes of a horse, you will make money. But if you spend thirty stakes of the material and labor costs of transportation, you won’t make much money.
I can only say that this is a way out.
Otherwise, there is no need to be too much, just horses will be miserable. Wang Ju plans to buy more than 1,000 horses, and one horse is soft and twenty stagnant. The other fees will not be raised, just horses, which will immediately make the Zhu and Li families and Wang Ju cry.
Zhu Qing's face was calm, but he was actually very happy. He didn't need to trade horses, but replaced it with fur and jade. This transaction can generate at least four times the profit.
A bitter horse.
At the end of the transaction, not only these fifty horses, but also forty horses, but they were traded with other goods. This would be sold to Zhu Qing at a price of fifty taels. This is the real soft sticker, but I had no choice but to post it if I wanted a horse!
Zhu Qing led ninety horses to Huachi Town and handed them over to Wang Ju.
Wang Ju wanted to report it to Sun Mian, and Sun Mian sent someone to inspect it and brand it with an official seal. This is considered an official horse. Only when the seal is marked can the horse money be given to Zhu Qing. But this issue doesn’t matter. Everyone knows the price of a thirty-six horse. Not to mention that Zhu Qing brought ninety horses, even if he got ten thousand horses, the government would not lose a penny.
Wang Juxian asked the yamen runners to lead the horse outside the town.
The Xinfan cavalry's military camp is inside and outside the town.
Although there are many empty houses in the city, considering that the number of people in the future and many war horses in the foreign cavalry camp was relatively large, a military camp was also built outside the city.
Li Sangou is taking people to train.
It's just now that I don't have many horses in my hands, let alone money for subsidies, so I've recruited not many people, only nearly 300 people. Among them are 80 strong horses.
Wang Ju said, "The horse is here."
Sun Mian hasn't sent anyone to inspect it yet, but he will ride it first.
Everyone gathered around happily.
Wang Ju waved his hand and made everyone quiet, and said, "This is the manager of the Zhu family in Yanzhou, let him say a few words."
Zhu Qing said: "I heard that the horses in the hands of the strong horses are reluctant to take action, but this foreign cavalry camp must have horses. So after the boss discussed it, he decided to subsidize fifteen thick silk and one hundred kilograms of tea for each horse he handed over."
The horse in the hands of the horse is not an official horse, but after being incorporated into the horse, the court will take out some money every year as the cost of raising horses. This money is very small, so it can only be said that there is more than no one.
But the ownership of these horses belongs to the powerful horses.
The national finance was in serious deficit, so an edict was issued to reduce the price of horse purchase to thirty cents. Which strong horse is willing to hand over the horse to the court?
Complex accounts cannot be settled, but don’t you know this simple 20-ton deficit?
However, Zhu Qing said this sponsorship and could smooth out the deficit.
A foreign soldier asked: "Is it true or false?"
“It will be delivered in three days.”
"Okay, let's leave it to the court."
Li Sangou grinned and laughed. At least, this foreign cavalry camp was already in large scale.
Ge Shaohua also stood by and smiled without saying a word.
He was just starting to hear Wang Ju's plan, and he was also surprised. The cost was too high, and even if he started with a private dealer, he would not be able to make up for it.
Unexpectedly, a wine actually solved the problem.
After laughing, Li Sangou pulled Wang Ju to the side and said, "Miss Wang, can I say something?"
"Uncle Sangou, tell me, we are not outsiders, there is nothing we can't say."
"Then I'll say that since most of the other side of the mountain may invade next year, not only will the fortress be lost, but Li Liangzuo will definitely send someone to plunder."
Wang Ju nodded.
That wasn’t the plundering last year. Once the 100,000 army starts to commit evil, you can imagine how many villages will be destroyed?
"But the Fanqi camp is full of Fanqin people, and their homes are plundered and swept away. People are uneasy and still have the intention to fight?"
"Uncle Sangou, what are you going to do?"
"Can you help them with some money and then negotiate with Sun Gong to mobilize them. The villages and villages will build tall and strong small forts like Wangjia Village?"
"Uncle Sangou, how much does it cost?" Ge Shaohua couldn't help but say from the side.
It is this plan to strengthen the military, and I don’t know how much money it will be piled up. If you spend the money, who can afford it.
"Xiao Ge, am I discussing this?" Li Sangou said embarrassedly.
"Uncle Sangou, there is also, some Yeli people from the other side of the Future Mountain come over. The court will support some money. However, this money cannot be taken seriously. At that time, they will definitely be very hard when they come over. Will you bear it?"
That is a big plan in the future. If used well, it will play an extremely important role.
But what about the money?
In fact, it has nothing to do with money, it is also a big secret, a secret that everyone cannot tell.
For the border foreign tribes, the court almost sheep-herding management, but building forts to ensure the safety of the rear and has little to do with the foreign people. The more the Western Xia plundered, the more the foreign people hated them, the closer they would be to the Song Dynasty. The court itself did not want the foreign people to become stronger.
For example, Murong clan, Murong En was loyal when he was there, and he died and his clan members became restless.
