Chapter 76 Qi's Grassland Trade

"Oh? My nephew is interested in Yangchang and Shibakou?"

Zhang Zhixiao looked at Yang Yuan with interest, trying to find some answers from his face.

For example, is it Yang Yuan himself who is interested in this or does the Yang family have any ideas about sheep intestines?

Although Zhang Zhixiao has not been here for a long time, he still has some understanding of the status of the intestines.

The Yang family also wanted to get involved?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhixiao began to get serious, and at the same time he felt a little settled down.

As we said in the last chapter, unconditional benefits are what people are most afraid of sometimes.

Although Yang Yuan's words sounded very beautiful and sincere, but as a senior general of Zhenbei Army, his mind was not so simple.

Now that Yang Yuan finally revealed his true thoughts, Zhang Zhixiao felt more relaxed.

I'm not afraid of your conditions, as long as you have needs, there will be a relationship of interest between us.

Leaving aside the relationship between Zhang and Yang, Zhang Zhixiao likes this friendship of interests.

He has too few friends, and friendship is precious and rare to him.

To get Zhang Zhixiao's friendship, Yang Yuan still has a long way to go.

Fortunately, he took a shortcut, otherwise it would be very difficult to get in touch with Zhang Zhixiao.

There are not many people and families in Cangyang County who want to join Zhang Zhixiao's line, but until now, no one has heard of anyone who has succeeded.

Yang Yuan not only took a shortcut, but also got into the carriage.

"Uncle Shi, the Yang family is not interested in selling things to the grassland, but they are very interested in buying things from the grassland."

"If you don't sell it, buy it back?"

Zhang Zhixiao did not expect this.

In Shunguo, as long as the eyes are on this sheep intestine, they all want to sell things to the grassland, and then earn real money, cattle, sheep and horses.

It was the first time he had heard of people like Yang Yuan who said they wanted to buy things directly from the grassland.

"This is a barren place on the prairie, I wonder what the Yang family wants to buy?

With all due respect, if you want to buy livestock and horses, you have no advantage over those who barter. "

Although this gold and silver are good, they cannot fill their stomachs, supplement the elements that the grassland people lack, and cannot make the tribe stronger.

Therefore, when trading with people in the pass, grassland people prefer to barter, and even like to buy with gold and silver.

If the gold and silver are gone, you can rob them again, but if the livestock are gone, a whole tribe will suffer.

Yang Yuan also understood this truth, but let him confide the truth in front of Zhang Zhixiao, saying that he would let people exchange salt for special products on the grassland?

impossible.

Yang Yuan has already made up his mind, in front of Zhang Zhixiao, the Yang family will never harm the interests of Dashun Kingdom.

"Uncle Shi, we all expected this, but after all, some tribes are eager for gold and silver."

"And even if we buy the goods at a higher price than others, we will still make some money after shipping them back to Shun Country.

It's just the difference between earning more or earning less. "

Zhang Zhixiao nodded when he heard the words, he knew that going to the Grassland Trade Fair was very profitable, but only those businessmen who personally participated and the people behind them knew how much they could earn.

Neither Zhang Zhixiao nor the Zhang family were involved in the grassland trade, so he didn't know what was wrong with it.

Then Yang Yuan put forward another idea, "And it's not impossible for us not to sell anything to the grassland at all."

"oh?"

Zhang Zhixiao's eyes suddenly turned sharp, do you want to see him?

But what Yang Yuan said next brought his eyes back to normal.

"Uncle Shi, do you know that Qi State and I have traded with grasslands, why are the laws of my Shun State stricter than those of Qi State?"

At this time, Zhang Zhixiao no longer regards Yang Yuan as an ignorant boy who just represents the Yang family.

Judging from his performance today,

His being able to represent the Yang family might not have been pushed out, but he had fought for it.

The result is the same, but the process determines the power.

After listening to Yang Yuan's question, Zhang Zhixiao said honestly, "I don't know."

Yang Yuan already knew in his heart that Zhang Zhixiao would not care about this issue. He is the deputy commander of the Zhenbei Army and a general. The situation of smuggling from the country to the grassland.

This is also the basis for him to play a role. If Zhang Zhixiao knew everything, how could Yang Yuan lie? No, he was working with him.

"Uncle Shi puts all his energy into the affairs of the Pofeng Camp. It's normal not to understand these things. Let my nephew explain it to you."

"The area bordered by Qi State and the grassland is much smaller than that of our Shun State, and the terrain is not as complicated as our Shun State. It is not difficult to combat smuggling, but as far as I know, the scale of smuggling between Qi State and the grassland has become more and more in the past ten years. The bigger it is, the fainter the trend of surpassing our country."

"oh?"

Zhang Zhixiao was surprised by Yang Yuan's first news, "Why?"

Just ask if you don't understand, Zhang Zhixiao will not think that asking Yang Yuan a question is a shameful act.

Yang Yuan also actively answered his question, which was exactly his purpose, "There are sheep, cows, and horses in the grasslands. The land for raising horses in Qi State is not as large as that in Shun State, and the combat effectiveness of cavalry is far inferior to that of the king's tigers and leopards." riding, so the number of horses required is large.”

Zhang Zhixiao vaguely understands that the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, which is normal, but where such a huge emergence comes from, there is probably no place to provide it except the grassland.

Maybe the royal family is involved in Qi's grassland trade.

But aren't they afraid that the actions of the enemy will make the grassland barbarians grow stronger and invade south?

Zhang Zhixiao never believed in the credibility of the barbarians. After they got benefits, they only wanted to get more, not to be grateful.

Yang Yuan's next words cleared his doubts a little, "Uncle Shi wondered why Qi State dared to do this, isn't it afraid that it will eventually attract barbarian invasion?"

Before Zhang Zhixiao could answer, Yang Yuan answered on his own: "King Qi is not afraid that the expansion of trade with the grassland will lead to the expansion of barbarians, and he can't stop the expansion of trade. Why don't you join in and get huge benefits?" and lots of horses."

"Why?"

Zhang Zhixiao couldn't remember how many times he asked questions today, and he was very surprised by the news that Yang Yuan brought him.

"Uncle Shi knows that Qi domestically produces salt. The trade between Qi and the grassland is mainly salt and salty goods. There are many tribes on the grassland. No matter how much salt flows in, it is not enough, so there is no worry about the expansion of the barbarians.

Moreover, the huge benefits have attracted the attention of most of the aristocratic families in Qi, so even the king of Qi dare not attack the grassland trade at will.

It's just that for the sake of the righteousness on the surface, grassland trade cannot be put on the surface, and it is still illegal. "

"I see!"

Now that Zhang Zhixiao understands the overall situation of Qi's grassland trade, he has received a lot of shock in his heart.

After Yang Yuan analyzed this information from the information he received, he had to sigh that the Qi family and King Qi really knew how to play tricks and deceived the three countries, but he was full of food.

However, Yang Yuan is not optimistic about Qi Guo's approach. He knows the importance of salt.

If a person cannot consume enough salt for a long time, his limbs will be weak, he will be weak and sick, his appetite will be poor, and his ability to survive and fight will be greatly reduced.

According to Yang Yuan's plan, it is correct to sell high-end salt and luxury goods to the grassland.

No matter how well the barbarian nobles ate, no matter how strong their bodies were, without strong warriors, they were just a piece of meat on the cutting board.

The Qi State sold a large amount of coarse salt to the grassland, which was of great help to the grassland barbarians.

At least they can have tens of thousands of strong soldiers every year.

Sooner or later, Qi State will swallow the bitter fruit they brewed.
