Chapter 139 Shanxi Merchants
Chapter 139 Shanxi Businessman
At sunset, the caravan stopped to camp against the Great Wall, and the bonfire rose, which was quite wild. A large number of escorts were scattered out to hunt. Soon, the head of the gang respectfully sent the baked one to the general.
Rabbit meat and good wine. The two battalions of Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry were very suitable for serving. They could eat delicious barbecue without moving their fingers. However, drinking was not allowed in Kaiyuan's army, and the general of Macheng could not make an exception.
After eating and drinking, several heads of the business group asked for a meeting, and Ma Cheng happily agreed.
Several heads of the business group were all the local upstarts and powerful men. The leader was Goldman Sachs, the third son of Gaozhen's mansion, whose courtesy name was Kaisheng, who was also purely his own. From a distance, he looked at Goldman Sachs three times, with several beautiful appearances.
The woman came over and there were several middle-aged businessmen with a strange face, who were being searched by their personal soldiers, but everyone was willing to abide by the rules.
Ma Cheng smiled and said, "The third brother is in great interest."
Goldman Sachs came over and smiled and said, "I dare not take it. You guys, this young hero is the Lord of the General Town."
A wink came over, and Ma Cheng smiled knowingly and said, "I'm in Kaiyuan Horse City, please invite me."
Several middle-aged businessmen compliments one after another, saying that they were the Lord of the Town, and gave Ma Cheng the unparalleled in the sky and the earth to four beautiful ladies of Datong. The so-called thin horses in Yangzhou, Datong's wife, Ma Cheng admired the enchanting and prosperous north even more.
The beauty, naturally accepted it without any politeness. She took action and was the four beautiful beauties of Datong, which also showed the identities of these people, Shanxi merchants. Kaiyuan goods were transferred from Shanxi, and they were inevitably involved in dealing with Shanxi merchants.
The Shanxi merchants naturally have to curry favor with them.
The three wealthy merchants all have the surname Chang, and they are from the Yuci Chang family among the eight major Jin merchants. The Chang family is divided into Southern Chang and Northern Chang. These three are the shopkeepers of Yuci North Chang Shihetang. This Chang family Shihe
The owner of the hall is doing the Sangsi business. When I ask for a visit, I want the underwriting rights of Kaiyuan Fur Mountain Products in Shanxi, which is also a big business.
In this way, we can see the strong competitiveness of capitalist handicrafts. Because the fur produced in Kaiyuan and the wool products are becoming more and more exquisite in workmanship, and there are many varieties. They are quietly occupying the market in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area. Chang's sense of smell is also
The first person who smelled the huge business opportunity came to him, so he took the initiative to come to him. A personal soldier took the gift list from the Chang family and handed it to Goldman Sachs without looking at it. He still trusted the cheap third brother very much.
Goldman Sachs smiled and said with a slight smile: "Brother Kaicheng, you are generous and aren't afraid that I will swallow it?"
Ma Cheng laughed and said, "The third brother is joking. The third brother can make the decision on business matters. Yuci Beichang, remember."
Goldman Sachs was very proud and talked and laughed. The Chang family's shopkeeper was in his forties and was quite smart. He also smiled and asked the four beauties to sing songs to cheer them up. Under the bonfire, four young women with excellent looks sang melodious songs.
It's so refreshing. Even the night in this desolate grassland has a little more spring. A large number of caravans guards came over to listen to the music. Ding Wen stared at his eyes and wanted to scatter the crowd, but was stopped by Macheng.
.
Ma Cheng blocked Ding Wenchao and said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty. The way to respect beauty and the eternal style. Wenchao should not let you down your interest."
Ding Wen grinned at the rough man and stared at the plump beauty Datong, without blinking, as if he was sympathetic and caring for the jade.
When the four beauties finished singing a song, Ma Cheng laughed and scolded: "What kind of wink do you think? If you like it, I will give it to you. I have to ask if I want it."
Ding Wenchao was overjoyed, and agreed with a smile, and he was much more gentle when talking to the beauty.
Ma Cheng simply left only one with extraordinary fair skin. He smiled and had a pair of dimples. He sent the other three beauties out. Ding Wen had a rich man, and two cavalry battalions officers each got one, and two battalions officers.
One is a young Kaiyuanzi, and the other is from Zhejiang Bingma Camp. He is still unmarried. He blushed when he was overjoyed. As for taking him home as a wife or a concubine, Ma Cheng was lazy to take care of him, and he had already gotten used to it.
This is the case in this era.
The three beauties also agreed to the shame. Being able to marry the young and promising generals in the Kaiyuan Army was an ending they never dared to dream of. It was much better than marrying a powerful family as a slave.
Goldman Sachs said laughing and crying: "Kaicheng, you are really generous."
Ma Cheng waved his hand indifferently. The beauty was like jade, but he should not be greedy, otherwise the jealous jar in his home would be overturned.
The shopkeeper of Chang was stunned for a long time and praised after a long time: "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. The fifth prince of Kaiyuan Ma is well-known and has great talent."
Another shopkeeper also exclaimed: "Everyone has a love for beauty. I didn't expect that Master Zongzhen is still proficient in Buddhism. This should be an allusion in Buddhist scriptures."
Ma Cheng was ashamed. It was the first time he knew that these two famous quotes were from Buddhist scriptures, so he almost showed timidity.
While chatting and laughing, a warning suddenly came from a distance. The torches on the northern grassland gathered more and more, and the chaotic sound of horse hooves came faintly. The three shopkeepers of Chang Shi were quite calm, but their faces were a little panicked, and they were about to be
Ding Wenchao, who was attentive to the beauty, was very disappointed, and asked the beauty to hide in the carriage, and stood up cursing. The soldiers on the left and right got up early to form an array, took out iron shields from the horse's back to form a shield array, and protected the leader.
The young battalion officers and deputy battalion officers stood up to rectify the troops, and clusters of cavalry stood up from the bonfires and led their horses to prepare for the war.
With the whistle and scolding, the two battalions of Kaiyuan Jingqi gathered quickly at an astonishing speed.
The sound of scattered horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the people in the caravan and the coolies panicked and shocked a few horses.
Ding Wenchao was furious and scolded: "Extinguish the fire and put on armor!"
Military orders were passed down layer by layer, countless bonfires were extinguished, and several shocked horses were shot to death by the Kaiyuan cavalry. Amid the scolding, the trembling people sat on the ground under the scolding of the army, and a large number of merchant guards were escorted.
They all picked up weapons and overturned large chariots as cover. It was obvious that they had experienced such battle formations long ago.
Hum, the iron armor was removed from the horse's back, and a battalion of heavy cavalry were put on heavy armor, leading tall war horses to array on the periphery, and soon formed a five-layer defensive array, with hundreds of heavy cavalry leading each floor.
The war horses stood in the dark night, with iron armor and spears emitting a cold metallic luster. Another battalion of cavalry dismounted and fought in the field, layer by layer behind the heavy cavalry, forming a line of stairs and bow formations, and were also covered with first-class bodies.
chain mail.
Under the heavy escort of Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, the pale faces of the shopkeepers gradually became rosy.
Ma Cheng looked at the torches in the distance and frowned: "Mengren?"
Goldman Sachs also frowned and said, "It must be a man of the sect, but I don't know which army it is, so powerful."
Ma Cheng had no choice but to spread his hands, and it was inevitable that he would open up a grassland commercial road. He was greedy and naturally would not let go of the fat meat delivered to his mouth. This was a protracted war, and the number of people guarded by the merchant group was still needed.
Increasing, a batch of iron armored cavalry must be equipped, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the huge threat of the large group of Mongolian cavalry. Instead, you can refer to the gun cavalry of Qi, and the three-eyed guns are equipped with iron armor. It is very suitable to deal with these Mongolian light cavalry. (To be continued
