Is the Xiao family's caravan manager capable? You only need to look at Wang Chengcheng who travels unhindered on the grassland to understand!
But what the military judge didn't know was that even Wang Cheng, the fat man in front of him who was a little funny and didn't even care about being pushed, had to respectfully call out "master" when he saw him!
The Xiao family caravan does not raise waste!
These words were spoken by the fat man in front of me himself.
It is precisely because of the existence of this fat man that the Xiao family caravan has become a super caravan that travels north and south of the Yangtze River and runs through the grasslands and deserts in just a few years.
Finally, the men who were expelled from the army carried the boxes and left the military camp amid the scoldings of the military judge and the comforting sounds of the fat man.
No one knows whether what awaits them next is the endless Gobi desert or the vast grassland.
In Xiao Han's imagination, these people would be trained by Fatty and then, together with the soldiers transferred from other places, become the escorts of several emerging caravans.
And these new caravans not only have to explore the huge salt mine, but also take on the task of trading various items with the grassland people.
One of the important items is the trade in wool, stone paint, and charcoal!
As for the enemy-funding thing that Li Daozhong was worried about at the beginning, Xiao Han thinks it doesn't exist at all!
Just because the finished product is expensive, it doesn’t mean the raw materials are expensive!
For example, the glassware produced in Sanyuan County was sold at a sky-high price when it was first sold! But its raw material is just a pile of sand that no one cares about.
In the same way, merchants will not give them too high prices for wool, stone paint, charcoal, these unprocessed rough raw materials. They will only give the Turks an incentive to do it according to the market, but not enough to make a profit.
price.
"What is this? This is a frog boiled in warm water! When those Turks are used to exchanging labor for results, and then using the results for money, your young master's plan has been completely successful!"
On the slowly eastbound oxcart, Xiao Han continued to lie in the soft straw, eating grapes and talking to Xiaodong again and again.
Xiaodong knew nothing about Xiao Han's plan, but this did not prevent him from being deeply upset by his young master's prodigal behavior!
Hey, what is a prodigal? This is a prodigal! The prodigal sons I heard about in Chang'an before, probably bundled together, are not enough to defeat my young master alone!
Overnight, just overnight!
Not only did he spend all the treasures seized from the Turks, but he also subsidized tens of thousands of dollars from home! Even Xiong Kaishan's silver box was smashed by him and used as money...
I don't know if the giant man will jump up on the spot when he hears the news and rush to fight for his master.
"Hey, it's gone!!!"
While Xiaodong was still following the bullock cart, looking blankly at where he was looking, Xiao Han's dissatisfied scolding suddenly sounded in his ears.
"It's gone? What's gone? The person is gone?" When Xiaodong heard the voice, he was immediately startled and quickly rubbed his eyes and looked around.
"Bah, bah, bah! Your talent is gone!" Xiao Han sat up from the straw angrily, and spat on Xiaodong's grape skin and grape seeds: "Grapes, grapes are gone! What did I just say to you?
Did you hear that?"
"Ah? Oh! I heard it." Xiaodong suddenly woke up and didn't bother to wipe his face. He hurriedly sent a bunch of grapes that had been washed long ago. Then seeing that Xiao Han seemed to want to ask him a question, he hurriedly said
: "Master Marquis, you said that just by using merchants, you can make the Turks unable to stand up forever? Is this true?"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes. After taking the grapes, he continued to lie comfortably on the cart, his body swaying with the ox cart, which was very comfortable.
"Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty know? The Hu people were so stunned that they didn't dare to cross the Yinshan Mountains! How majestic it was? But why did those Hu people start galloping and looting on the grassland again in just a hundred years?
In the final analysis, the grassland has no output and is not valued by us!
Even the fields will become deserted without care, let alone the vast grasslands! Since we dislike it and don't take it, it will naturally be taken over by barbarians."
"But, just expect those merchants, how can they occupy the grassland?" When asking this question, Xiaodong's mind unconsciously thought of the vendors hawking along the streets in Chang'an Market.
Even the strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty can't defend the grassland. How do you expect those fat traders who can't hold a spear or a knife? Isn't this a joke?
"Are you stupid? Who said you let businessmen occupy the land?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and spat on Xiaodong's grape skin again: "The purpose of businessmen is to make the originally unproductive grasslands productive.
!When there is output, those Turks will not think about robbing all day long to seize the items they want! Instead, they will try to trade in exchange for items!
When they don’t rob for a year, or don’t rob for two years, or ten or eight years later, will they still remember how to rob?”
"So that's it? Lord Marquis is really wise! My admiration for you is like a torrent of water..." Xiaodong, who had a grape skin on his head, looked at Xiao Han with admiration. But this kind of admiration, as long as he is not blind,
You can see how perfunctory it is.
"Huh? Since you are so sure, why do we still have to fight? Can't we just buy their stuff?"
Just when he was getting excited about being praised, and when he was proud of being praised, a head suddenly came out from the side of the bullock cart and asked Xiaodong the question he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
"who?"
Xiao Han, who was taking a leisurely pace, was startled by the sudden appearance of the head. The grapes in his mouth slid directly into his throat without even chewing them!
As a result, the bunch of grapes was too big and instead of sliding down, it got stuck in his throat. He blushed so hard that he almost died on the spot.
"It's me, Old Su! Speak quickly! I'm waiting to hear it!" Su Dingfang climbed onto the car's shaft and jumped onto the car. He slapped Xiao Han on the back a few times and helped him remove the stuck grapes.
Spit it out.
"Ahem...ahem! Su, you want to make money and kill someone!"
After spitting out the grapes that almost choked him to death, Xiao Han, who finally managed to catch his breath, coughed and grabbed the large bunch of grapes next to him, and threw them at Su Dingfang mindlessly, as if he wanted to use the grapes to smash them.
Su Dingfang was beaten to death.
Helpless, Su Dingfang was so agile that the grapes Xiao Han smashed not only did not fall on him, but were grabbed by him. He even picked one and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile, causing the juice to flow from the chews.
"Eat? Eat hard! You'll choke to death, you bastard!" Xiao Han stared at Su Dingfang angrily and cursed.
Su Dingfang grinned indifferently: "Hey, I, Old Su, can't live for a thousand years! Come on, tell me, why didn't you do it before and why do you have to do these businesses now?"
