Zhong Gang seemed even more confused when he heard the insects say.
"Where did you move your hand, little bug? Why didn't I see it?"
"I didn't see it. I want to know that I have to investigate all the caravans in Pengzhou for a period of time, or know about the grain shops, oil shops, salt stalls, and the killing of livestock and egg production places. Last year, Zhang Wangliang When the family arrived in Yizhou, they began to let the people in the surrounding state capitals look at their own conditions to raise chickens.
Now it’s time to lay eggs. Last month, people who sold pancakes and fruit complained that the eggs that were just opened were small, and it would make less money if you put two eggs, and the person who bought one would not be willing. Now it should be the time when the chickens lay the most eggs. , Why do you want to increase the price again
The price of eggs increased and the price of meat decreased. It was definitely not an accidental thing, but the little son of the Zhang family was unwilling to cause too much damage to the local area because of his actions. Didn't you see that the price of salt is still at its original position? That point is the same as usual. "
Little Worm now has the same emotion as the original No.1. As long as it encounters special things, it looks like a thick fog comes out in front of him. It finally blows a place away. When it turns back, even the road when it came is also Can't find it, the unknown is the most terrible.
Zhong Gang drank all the wine in the bowl without understanding, and reached out to take the wine jar. "That's not right, how can it be harmless? The chicken raiser makes money, and the killer sells meat to pay."
"Stupid, the price reduction of meat means that the price is low when buying animals. The meat sellers used to make much money, but now they still make that." Xiao Chong explained to Zhong Gang again.
"It's still wrong. Don't those who sell livestock lose?" Zhong Gang's head is now easy to use.
The little insect nodded and said: "Yes, the price of selling animals will be lowered. Who sells the animals? Where do the animals come from?"
"Tubo!" The two people got the same answer.
"What about the eggs?" Zhong Gang asked again, before Xiao Chong said, "Could it be that they were sold to Tubo?"
"It is estimated to be the same, but what does Tubo want so many eggs for? How do they buy and sell?" I thought that the little bug who could guess the tricks of the Zhang family was hit once again.
Looking at each other, the two stopped talking about this matter. The more they thought about it, the more confused and tiring they became. The little bug would drink with his own thoughts and would not take a sip, drink a big sip of wine and eat a big bite of meat like just now.
The other businessmen in the team don’t have as much thought as two of them. As long as they reach the desert, they can find what the Chamber of Commerce needs, especially herbs, as well as plant seeds, things that can grow Cistanche, which is very suitable for being on the sand. For planting, some rivers have too much sand, just to plant such things.
By the way, salt and other things can be exchanged with the local people for local specialties, such as fur, bones that can be used as medicine, and even live poisonous snakes. Bringing back to Datang is another income.
Nowadays, there are more people living in the weak east side than before. Last year, due to lack of food, the people of Tubo did not live well, and starvation to death happened from time to time. Anyone who did not have livestock found out when they were about to plow in spring this year. Now there is a big problem, it can’t be cultivated as before.
Farm tools are lacking, and seeds are not enough. After a winter, there is no food. They continue to stay on the weak water west bank and find no way to survive.
So many people drag their families and want to enter Datang from Pengzhou and become citizens of Datang.
However, both Datang and Tubo were not allowed. Datang was afraid that this part of the people would not be able to govern and cause trouble. Tubo's reason was simple. If the people ran away, Tubo would have left a place. It would be better to give it to others, as only a part of the people. When you live a comfortable life in Datang, other Tubo people will naturally follow.
The gate of Pengzhou was closed tightly, and the Tubo cavalry company was threatening to prevent the people from going forward. The people had no choice but to kneel outside the gate of Pengzhou. The begging of adults and the crying of children actually made the people at the gate. Ears buzzed.
The officials in Pengzhou couldn't figure out a solution, and the Jidu Envoy of Jiannan Road was not ready to make trouble, so they watched the Tubo people outside the pass ate the food they brought little by little, and prepared their troops to prevent the people from rushing through the border.
At this critical moment, the left-behind Zhang family's inner courtyard in Yizhou was dispatched. It was just a trivial matter. There was no need to ask the owner's house. The food, utensils and salt were shipped directly from the wall and told the people of Tubo to make their own porridge and drink. No looting is allowed.
The banner of the disbanded Yizhou logistics camp still has a very strong deterrent effect. The people of Tubo began to boil the state very obediently, and the wild vegetables that emerged in the spring were put together to cook and eat. After eating for three days, they were stable. I'm down, no longer as messy as when I first arrived.
The people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family discussed with them. The Zhang family provided the grain. The people of Tubo planted the seeds of Bai Die Zi to the east of the weak water. During the period before Bai Die Zi could be harvested, there was still grain. All other daily necessities are in charge of Zhang Wang's family.
After harvesting the Baidizi, some of the daily necessities will be deducted according to the quantity, and the rest will be exchanged with King Zhang's family for survival supplies. They will be planted and exchanged every year.
The people of Tubo were going to run out of food. They did not even ask about the specific details of the exchange, so they agreed to rebuild the village on the east side of the weak river with a lot of food, seeds and tools, ready to build a happy life with their own hands.
They are also not afraid that someone will come into the village to bully people from time to time like before, but they will plant the demon cuckoo cuckoo with Bai Diezi, whoever dares to come over will try.
Sure enough, the occasional sergeant from Tubo was very greedy, but did not dare to do it. Seeing the meat and bones sent to the people from the Zhangwang family at the Pengzhou pass to the people to boil soup, drink and adjust the body, they could only stare, and none of them had the courage. Grab it and taste it yourself.
The people of Tubo did some chores while planting cotton. They made curtains from last year’s hay, put the hemp in the water, and then took them out and rubbed the ropes. Then they went hunting. They prepared these things and waited for Datang’s business. When the team comes over, it is used for exchange.
The people don’t know which side they belong to. They say it belongs to Datang, but Datang doesn’t recognize it. It says it belongs to Tubo and is not under Tubo control. This kind of ultimate question of ownership is too profound, and the people don’t know it. Don't think about it anymore, as long as the life can be better, that's it.
The caravan came here for the second time this year. The last time because the people of Tubo just settled down, they didn't change much. This time the merchants felt that the people of Tubo could have a lot more goods than the last time.
At this time, I was around the fire to discuss the price. Some people said that it could be a little higher than the last time. After all, the things that were exchanged were really valuable. The straw curtain and hemp rope were both by Yizhou. Zhang Wang's family is going, and the price is high, but the medicinal materials are taken away by the local drugstore, which is also not low, not to mention the fur.
So give more money so that the people of Tubo can work harder.
Others are talking about more pressure, they say that the goods are not easy to sell, and they can make more money.
At the beginning, people who had different opinions were still discussing well. As they talked, they drank too much and started arguing loudly, and some even prepared to do it.
At this moment, the little bug who has been unwilling to guess what Zhang’s young master did and is always incapable of letting go is unhappy, and yells: "What is it? I really think this is your place, even if it’s given to you, Can any of you keep it? When doing things, don't you think about what Zhang and Wang's family mean?"
The merchants who were still arguing were honest when they were yelled by the bug. They knew that the bug had met the two little ancestors of Wang Wang's family, the kind who could talk, and they were really thinking about money and wanting to be stupid. At this time, when someone said it, it turned out that this road belonged to Wang Wang's family, and to be precise, it was paved with blood by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Every year the money earned from this road is dedicated to the families of the Datang warriors who are buried here, it is not the merchants who can control it.
"Little bug, then what price should you give?" a businessman asked loudly, not wanting to be weakened.
"Then you have to figure out how Xiaobao and Juanjuan planned, why the people of Tubo are left here, and why they are only allowed to grow Baiduzi and not food."
The bug raised two questions.
The merchants also wanted to know why. They looked at the little insects one by one, and waited for the little insects to continue talking, but the little insects did not dare to say. He felt that Xiaobao and the cuckoo planned to merge the east of the weak water river directly into the big one one day. Tang, as long as the local people get used to their current life, they will be able to merge if they want to merge in the future.
Seeing everyone looking over, Xiao Chong said in his heart: "Because this road is very profitable, if the people of Tubo are scared away, who will grow Baidizi in the future? My thought is that their things can be Tell them how much it will cost, and tell them the price we are willing to give.
They think that we give less, so they sell it by themselves. They think it’s too late and it’s not easy to enter Pengzhou, then sell it to us. Don’t always keep your eyes on the small extra money. Money in the desert is the big money. There are lakes. The fish and shrimps taste good, and there are many medicinal materials, as well as Cistanche.
It won't let us make less money. I really did something wrong and made Xiaobao and the cuckoo angry. Think about the consequences for yourself. Are you really planning to let them rush over from the capital to solve it yourself? "
The insect's words worked. Many businessmen shrank their heads, feeling a cool breeze from their necks.
Just when the businessmen decided to follow Xiao Chong’s statement, they chased two fast horses from the direction of Pengzhou, and immediately one of them, approached the team, turned over and landed, and one of them said to everyone: "The Chamber of Commerce decides. When arriving in Tubo people, let them go to Pengzhou to sell the goods in person and inform them of the approximate price."
The businessmen are a little unhappy. If they do so, don’t they make less money? Is it possible that after joining the Chamber of Commerce, you can't do additional business
"As for your losses." The visitor may have guessed what the businessmen thought, and then said: "Your losses in this area will be reported to the young master and the young lady, and the young master will find a way to compensate. Zhang Wang's family Doing business will not let the cooperating people lose."
The businessmen were happy now, and they all said innocent things. People who came here didn’t want to stay outside. They remounted their horses and prepared to leave. At this moment, Xiao Chong suddenly said: "Can you bring me a letter? Just say whether I can Can you help?"
