Wan Shi took Jian Yong to pay the money first, and then brought him to a warehouse. The warehouse was already full of people, including Han merchants and Hu businessmen.
Everyone has a piece of paper in their hands! Everyone is shouting loudly, making the whole street lively. Next to them, rows of carriages are waiting.
"I want 1,000 sets of sweaters and trousers!" A businessman handed over a white slip!
A warehouse manager led someone to throw out huge packages one after another and said: "This bundle contains 100 sets. I'll give you ten bundles. You can go aside and count them by yourself!"
The businessman immediately called his man to go up and quickly count the sweaters!
At this time, Hu Shang later shouted: "I want 5,000 sweaters!"
Jian Yong listened for a while and found that none of them had less than 1,000 sweaters. He really couldn't handle the 200 sweaters!
"How come these Hu people are so rich? They are richer than the merchants of the Han Dynasty! I just heard that when the Hu people come to buy sweaters, none of them buy less than 2,000 sweaters, which is equivalent to 1 million yuan! The merchants of the Han Dynasty are also
Not many people are so rich!"
Wan Shi envied: "Although these barbarians have no money, they have wool! They have cattle and sheep! After a season of high autumn and horse fat, cattle and sheep are at their fattest and strongest, and the price is the highest."
At that time, I heard the herdsmen say that at this time in previous years, the herdsmen would get rid of some thin cattle and sheep, and only keep some fat and strong cattle and sheep.
Now the whole Mayi can purchase cattle and sheep in unlimited quantities. The herdsmen are very happy. They keep some cattle and sheep for breeding, and sell all the other cattle and sheep to us. During this period, Mayi has purchased tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.
, and bought thousands of horses. These barbarians have made hundreds of millions of dollars from us. Do you think they have any money?
Not to mention that based on the price of cattle and sheep, the Hu people have much more property than we Han people. I just can’t figure out why they are so poor and want to rob us Han people. It doesn’t make sense at all!”
What Wan Shi didn't know, Jian Yong knew, because cattle and sheep can't be sold at a high price on the grassland, they are just the most basic rations for herdsmen, and these rations will kill more than half of them in a snowstorm, so he has a huge wealth and hair.
An argument that doesn’t count.
But now a big market like Mayi suddenly appeared. These barbarians found a way to cash out and naturally became rich. But when he saw such a lively scene, he knew that the money was returned to Mayi after a round of transfers.
.
Looking at these excited Hu people, Jian Yong knew that Mayi was not as short of food as they imagined.
According to the price of a sweater in Mayi, two and a half sheep can be exchanged for one sweater. However, after looking at it, the sweater may not be able to consume the wool of two sheep. In other words, every time these barbarians buy a woolen sweater,
It is equivalent to having two and a half more sheep in Mayi. It is impossible for Mayi to be short of food just by eating meat.
It's just that Jian Yong doesn't understand. Where can the manpower from Mayi City produce so many sweaters?
During this period of time, this warehouse has sold tens of thousands of sweaters, and judging from the current situation, the sweaters in the warehouse are far from being sold out, which is really scary.
Even big cities like Luoyang in central Sichuan find it difficult to produce tens of thousands of pieces of clothing at once. How did Ma Yi do this?
After buying the sweater, Jian Yong walked around the outer city of Mayi and found that Hu merchants were everywhere.
They bought horse-drawn carriages, iron pots and other iron tools, jars of sauerkraut, briquette stoves and even briquettes. In short, they did not intend to leave until they spent their last penny. Such prosperity is
The lively scene was something Jian Yong had never seen before.
After receiving 200 sweaters, Jian Yong went to Mayi Wharf. He planned to return to Youzhou by water. Before leaving, he looked at the brand-new city of Mayi and sighed: "It is a disaster rather than a blessing for a big man to have a tycoon like Lei Gong."
ah!"
On the other side, Xu Wei and the top management of Mayi were entertaining guests that he had not expected. The top brass of the Yellow Turban Army who had not been in contact with Xu Wei for a long time came to Mayi, and hundreds of people came as soon as they arrived! What surprised Xu Wei the most
What they never expected was that their leader was actually a delicate-looking woman in her eighteenth year.
"The little girl Zhang Ning has seen Lei Gongqu handsome!"
Zhang Ning, this is not the legendary Zhang Jiao’s daughter!
At this time, Zhang Baiqi, who had an acquaintance with Xu Wei, said: "Leigong Qushuai, Miss Zhang Ning is the daughter of Marshal Zhang Niujiao!"
Xu Wei suddenly realized: "It turns out she is the daughter of the commander-in-chief. I think the last time I met Commander Zhang Niujiao was half a year ago. The commander-in-chief at that time was very high-spirited and conquered the entire Jizhou. The Yellow Turban Army was even more powerful.
It's a pity that the work failed, and I didn't expect that now the yin and yang are separated, it really feels like yesterday!"
Speaking of Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Ning, and others, their expressions were a little depressed, and they obviously found it difficult to accept their own sudden defeat.
Zhang Baiqi saw that everyone was depressed and said: "We came here this time to join Commander Lei Gong!"
Xu Wei was surprised and said: "Something happened to the commander's adopted son Zhang Yan?"
Xu Wei knew that Chu Feiyan had replaced Zhang Niujiao as the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, and even changed his name to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Ning said fiercely: "Zhang Yan is a traitor. He has deviated from the ideal of a great virtuous teacher and betrayed my father. He actually wants to join the imperial court!"
Xu Weiwei was surprised and said: "Zhang Yan wants to join the imperial court?"
He really didn't know this. The history of the Three Kingdoms was a piece of history that Xu Wei knew a lot about. After all, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was so famous, but he only knew about the people around Liu Guan and Zhang, or the protagonists and generals among Wu, Shu, and Wei.
, knowing one hundred and eighty military generals of the Three Kingdoms is already a lot. He may not even know a few people from other dynasties in one dynasty.
But even in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was no mention of what the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were doing during this period, and Zhang Yan, a bit player, seemed to have appeared several times when he was beaten by Lu Bu, but at that time, the heroes were already divided.
It was time. Xu Wei vaguely remembered that Zhang Yan seemed to have defected to Cao Cao in the end, but he really did not expect that Zhang Yan would defect to the imperial court at this time.
However, Zhang Yan's surrender to the imperial court would not have any impact on him, unless he followed Song Jiang's example and led troops to attack him!
Zhang Baiqi said helplessly: "The new Mu from Jizhou is so powerful! He used the land we conquered to recruit refugees, and all the refugees in Jizhou disappeared. Moreover, he also sent elite soldiers to station in Yamaguchi County to prevent us from going down the mountain to develop the Ministry of Agriculture.
Public.
At the same time, he kept sending people up the mountain to persuade everyone to go down. As long as everyone came down, they could allocate 20 acres of land. Many tribesmen could not resist the temptation and went down the mountain. When we left, Marshal Zhang Yan had 100,000 yuan in his hand.
There are no people left! And most of them are old and weak. Even if we want to fight, we are no longer the opponent of Jizhou County."
