Chapter 85 Trading
He Zan went back to report his life with his father's intention.
He Huchen's face in the tent was gloomy and gloomy.
Money needs to be made, but how can I give it to him?
This matter needs to be planned carefully, and he understands the meaning of He Jinchao's actions.
If there are no bandits in Shaanxi, do you think you will have a chance in the future?
He Huchen, who has served as the deputy to Yang Zhaoji, understands the importance of bandits very well.
Only more bandits can make him climb to the position of Yang Zhaoji.
The most important thing is to make money, it’s not shabby!
I have to find a way to support Hong Chengchou and let him pursue Wang Jiayin and others' troops.
This is how you have the opportunity to trade with He Jinchao.
This is easy to deal with. After all, no one wants his servants to ate the city.
As for the goods He Jinchao wants, it is not difficult to get.
It’s just a craftsman, He Huchen doesn’t have much resistance to the trading population.
This has to be found from Ningxia.
The first place to approve the garrison to manufacture muskets in the Ming Dynasty was Ningxia, which was in the seventh year of Zhengtong (1422).
We have to send someone to search, but He Huchen thought that the technology should not be very good.
During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder technology, gunpowder formula and gunpowder manufacturing were completely closed technologies, and the court strictly controlled it, and the gunpowder could not be improved.
After Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the court was worried that the leak of firearm technology would affect the rule of the court, and it was negative about the army's equipment for firearms.
Therefore, only a few of them can be made by Nine-sided sides, but due to technical reasons, there are some flaws, so that the border troops are becoming less and less likely to use them.
The reason why Ningxia can make a single musket in the future was approved by Yingzong.
Besides, He Huchen didn't believe that He Jinchao could stay in Ganquan County for the rest of his life.
What newly forged weapons will be yours at that time?
After hearing He Zan's reply, He Jinchao said that He Huchen is really a worm of the Ming Dynasty. With someone like him, why worry about not getting rid of the Ming Dynasty?
Why worry about your great cause?
As long as everyone has a relationship of interests, they are temporary ally.
Then He Jinchaobian rushed to train his troops.
During this period, Zhao Bancheng was found by He Jinchao: "I won't say much about politeness. The salt storage in the city is not enough. Do you have any way to do it?"
Zhao Bancheng thought for a while: "Are you going to send it outside our city?"
"Can there be such a person with great hands and eyes?" He Jinchao was very surprised.
Zhao Bancheng smiled slightly: "It's so good for King He to know that our big salt merchant in Shaanxi is the Marquis of Ningyang."
"Marquis of Ningyang?" He Jinchao said he had never heard of it.
"The ancestors were Chen Heng, Duke of Jingguo. Later, he followed his father Jinghan and was named Marquis of Ningyang. He followed Emperor Yongle five times to the north to maintain Ningxia.
Since then, the Chen family has started buying salt, and it has been reported that Chen Guangyu, the Marquis of Ningyang, would not care about He Huchen's ideas as long as he had enough money.
In addition, Ningxia and Datong are dangerously far away, and with the control of the Chen family, Huaiyan vendors almost never come here."
He Jinchao thought about it and said that according to the high cost of seasonings, one person had to eat at least one pound of salt a month.
"Okay, I need to contact this person and buy him 50,000 kilograms of salt first."
Salt itself is huge profits.
Zhao Bancheng was somewhat shocked by He Jinchao's big deal: "King He, this is not a small amount."
"If I buy less, I'm afraid he won't give it."
Zhao Bancheng nodded. He Jinchao had money. He knew that eating the Fan family's property was really worth it.
"What does King He want so much salt to do?"
"I can't finish it, so I sell it to the people of Ganquan County at a low price."
He Jinchao swallowed the second half of the sentence back so that they would not be bewitched.
"I'm sending my confidant to contact you."
Under the persuasion of the newly appointed generals such as Ai Wannian, Hong Chengchou agreed to temporarily siege He Jinchao and focus on encircling and suppressing the large rebels.
According to reliable sources, King Gao Chuang broke through his skin and swept away many young and strong men. He had gathered with Ma Huihui and had 50,000 troops under his command.
He Jinchao, who didn't fight this big fish, would have to kill two or three thousand people, was too thin and not worth it.
In addition, the soldiers under his command were unwilling to rush to the city desperately, and their morale was low, so Hong Chengchou decided to take the means of siege but not attacking for the time being.
Let’s fight Gao Chuangwang and others first to increase morale one or two.
At this point, Hong Chengchou still did not give up and ordered people to spread the word to the city that he would not pursue the fault of the people in the city. They were all coerced by the rebel He Jinchao.
The court will never massacre the city or slaughter its own people.
Especially for the rebels who voluntarily surrender, the three-sided governor Yang He will give preferential treatment.
No matter how the people in the city defended or believed in a word.
The reputation of the imperial court has been completely corrupted in Shaanxi.
Everyone is ordinary people. If the family can survive, who will embark on the road of rebellion?
Where can King He keep his word and not steal ordinary people at all, and even pay for his work.
Who doesn’t want to work for King He?
The court?
The court is nothing!
He Fengzi was having a fever, and the doctor sighed repeatedly, he might not be able to get through such a hot day.
The officials outside the city were very lazy and besieged Ganquan County every day.
But he had a tacit understanding and waited until the city pushed out the manure truck, fell outside the west gate, and then stepped forward.
Hong Chengchou took away many elite soldiers, and most of the remaining siege were guards who had been eating for a day.
Someone even came to ask the guards who were in the dung truck how they lived.
After all, everyone has familiar fellow villagers.
Then the guards of the manure dump truck complained, saying that it was too hard and that those who failed the training would be ordered to collect the manure and pour the manure.
"Then you just take the opportunity to follow me!"
"Don't leave, don't leave." The surrendered guards immediately shook their heads and put the manure bucket on the car: "Under our captain, we can have enough food, and we can eat some meat and drink broth in ten days.
Of course, if you want to eat two more pieces of meat, you must be a capable person, so I can only drink the broth with me."
"What's the matter?" The chatty guard immediately stood up, not wiping his butt, and was about to jump over the moat: "I want to surrender to King He, too."
"No, no, I can't make the decision. I'm just talking nonsense, nonsense."
"Hey, we've known each other for so long."
In recent days, there have always been soldiers outside the city, but Ningxia General He Huchen didn't care.
What he was thinking about was his business with He Jinchao.
The Ming army outside the city was scrambling to fish, and the thieves in the city actively trained and sought a way out.
Finally, as he was looking forward to it day and night, the goods he transported from He Huchen for the first time were delivered outside Ganquan County.
But what surprised He Huchen was that he met someone from the Ningyang Hou family on the way, which really surprised him.
It turns out that He Jinchao is not just doing business with him. How much money does he pay to join Ningyang Hou?
He Jinchao stood on the city wall and looked at the carriages outside the city, and he felt a little sigh for a moment.
