If he doesn't get things done as soon as possible, he won't feel at ease. Even if you let him rest, he can't fall asleep! Besides, it's still early, and most of the young people in future generations are still in the middle of the night when they are in high spirits.
Ming Yu insisted, how dare the people below say anything? The boy went in a hurry. Qingping sighed helplessly, so she had to do her best to serve His Highness to eat more food, how long has it been since she came to Liangzhou? His Highness, who was originally chubby and fat, has already lost several circles of weight. If this continues, she is afraid that she will have to die to apologize.
Mingyu didn't understand the twists and turns in Qingping's heart, she had something on her mind, and she couldn't eat, so she took a few mouthfuls and pushed the bowl away, Qingping quickly scooped up an extra bowl of ginseng soup for him and persuaded him to drink it up.
Not long after dinner, someone reported that Bu'a Tan asked to see him.
Bua Tan was already ready to take a rest, when he saw someone sent by Prince Duan, who passed on the news of the prince's call, he could not care about anything else, he asked his mother-in-law to rest first, and hurried out door to go.
Walking to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, rummaged through the boxes and chests to find a small green cloth bag, stuffed it into his sleeve, and walked out with peace of mind.
After entering the palace, the prince immediately summoned him. After saluting respectfully, Ming Yu gave the seat with a smile, and then opened the topic.
"This king summoned you overnight, so you won't make Mrs. Zun angry?" Ming Yu took a sip of tea and made a joke.
"Where is it, the lord was joking." Bua Tan, a rough man, was actually blushed by Ming Yu's joke.
Ming Yu was in a good mood, so he stopped teasing him at this time, and went directly to the topic, "I called you here today to tell you that the matter of the caravan goods has been resolved."
Bua Tan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "My lord, are you serious?" He didn't expect that the goods for the caravan, which he was struggling to find everywhere, would be ready so soon.
But think about it, who is this person? The majestic Lord Yan! Is there anything he can't do, his original decision was really right, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, with this golden thigh to hug him, wouldn't he have to follow suit in the future
Ming Yu smiled and said: "They are all placed in the warehouse of the palace, and people can come to receive them at any time, but, has your caravan been formed?"
Bua Tan was very excited, and nodded when he heard Ming Yude's question. His lord entrusted him with the formation of a caravan, and he had already made preparations for such a long time, but... he hesitated for a while before hesitatingly said: "Return to your lord, the caravan has almost been formed, there is only one thing... a little difficult. "
Ming Yu sat up straight, and listened solemnly, "Tell me."
Bua Tan organized the speech, "My lord, in the Taiping years, caravans didn't need too many people. As long as there were enough guys, they just needed to hire some bodyguards to protect them. But now it's no different than before, nothing else, There are so many bandits in Liangzhou, without bodyguards, it is absolutely impossible."
Ming Yu wondered, "Why is this difficult? You need bodyguards to protect you, so you can just go to find them, and if you spend money or something, you can just come to the palace to withdraw."
Bua Tan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not about the money, but it's hard to find people in Liangcheng who can take on this job. Many people know that they are going to guard the caravan going west, and they all want to go to the west." He shook his head to express his reluctance to go. It is because bandits are rampant, and losing goods is a trivial matter, and he accidentally left them with his life."
It is precisely because of such risks that almost no one has dared to set up a caravan to trade in these years. He was also a hothead at the beginning, and only thought of taking risks when he was willing to fight. He did not expect to be bumped into by the prince and participated in it. Now that Prince Duan has the influence, it's not a matter of small fights. Such a large caravan will have a lot of people who will pay attention to it. In this way, it will be too conspicuous, and it may not be smooth sailing along the way.
Ming Yu understands Bu'a Tan's worry, this is indeed a problem, the caravan has no guards, it's no different from delivering meat buns and beating dogs, isn't he making wedding clothes for others if he is so busy in vain
Ming Yu frowned, the excited mood just now seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and most of it cooled down immediately. No, he has been planning for so long, but it all depends on the caravan to make money for him. If the caravan can't make it, all his plans will go to waste.
"Is there no other way? Even if you pay a high price to hire a guard?"
Bu Atan shook his head in embarrassment, "The wars are not the same as in previous years. Who spares their lives these days? Those thieves and bandits are too serious. The powerful ones are not even afraid of the frontier army. It is estimated that the whole cold The Red Robe Army is the only ever-victorious army in Zhouneng Township.”
He has lived in Liangcheng for decades, and he knows more about the situation in Liangzhou than Mingyu, the king of the territory.
After hearing his words, Ming Yu fell into deep thought. Who is not afraid of the prestige of the red-robed army? Let the red-robed army guard, this matter is difficult to do, hey... Ming Yu thought for a while, this is not impossible? My caravan has passed the emperor's eyes, so it can be regarded as the emperor's merchant! It is reasonable for the imperial merchants to use a little army power. So is it possible to ask the Red Robe Army to help out or something
As soon as the thought in his heart came up, Ming Yu shuddered. He suddenly thought of Xie Yixiu's cold face. It was another big project to capture this guy, and he didn't know how much money he would have to pay to make a move. Think about it All headaches. It's a pity that the training time for his guard battalion soldiers is too short, and it's not enough to show his hands, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to such trouble by directly sending the guard battalion bodyguards.
After making up his mind, Ming Yu's expression became much more relaxed, and he said comfortingly, "Well, I will take care of the matter of bodyguards, you can follow the plan."
Bua Tan's eyes widened, and then he smiled and said: "Yes! The villain promises that it will only take half a month to take care of everything."
Ming Yu nodded, "That's good, but this king still has a very important task to entrust to you." He explained solemnly.
Bua Tan's heart trembled, and then he looked solemn, and answered with cupped hands: "The prince has an order, and the villain will definitely do his best."
Ming Yu was very satisfied with Bua Tan's words, and immediately said: "I heard that the Western Regions are rich in BMWs. In Wan Country, there is a kind of rouge horse. good horse."
Bua Tan was stunned for a moment, what was the purpose of the prince suddenly mentioning the horse? Unable to understand, he still nodded respectfully, "Indeed, these two horses are well-known in the Western Regions, and they are rare BMW horses."
Ming Yu was full of smiles, it was not in vain that he spent a lot of time to understand this.
"My lord, what do you mean?" Buatan thought for a while and couldn't figure out what Ming Yu mentioned, so he simply asked.
Ming Yu knocked on the table calmly, and leisurely threw a heavy bomb, "I want you to bring back such a magnificent horse in addition to collecting various crop seeds during this trip."
Bua Tan was shocked, "This-this-"
"What? Is there a problem?"
It's not a problem, it's a big problem! Buatan complained endlessly, not only was it expensive to exchange for such a steed, but also the risk of taking the horse back from such a long distance was not ordinary.
Bua Tan grimaced, "My lord, it is too risky to bring this kind of horse back, not to mention the price of this horse. It is just that when passing through other countries, it will inevitably be recognized and intercepted, even if it escapes safely, It is impossible for the horse to reach Dayan smoothly through Suixi Kingdom, which must be passed through."
Ming Yu smiled, "No matter how much the price is, you have to get it. If you are afraid of being recognized by others, then you can disguise the horse so that no one can see it?"
Ming Yu can't help it, he still owes someone's good horse, so he can't say nothing. Besides, the Great Yan Kingdom lacks good horses capable of fighting. If they can bring back the magnificent horses and have good breeds, are they afraid that they will not be able to improve and produce good offspring? When the time comes, he will build a pasture on the territory to raise horses. Is he afraid that the supply of horses will be insufficient? It is because of this kind of thought that Ming Yu knows all about those famous horses.
Over the years, Suixi Kingdom has been stuck with dead horses and flowed into Dayan Kingdom. Dayan Kingdom is based on agriculture and lacks high-quality horses. As a result, there is a serious shortage of horses, and all of the entire Dayan Kingdom was used to form a mere The 5,000-strong red-robed cavalry had already demonstrated this point.
Therefore, Ming Yu considered from the root cause, then the animal husbandry industry must be gradually developed and expanded. There must be land for raising horses and good breeds of horses. The best way is to form an industrial chain. Isn't it that the Yi people are superior in the number of excellent horses, if these advantages are gone, can they still show off their power like they are now
"...how is this possible?" Bua Tan was speechless, could this horse still be able to disguise itself like a human? How it sounds is an incredible thing.
Ming Yu saw through his thoughts, "How is it impossible? In ancient times, there was a thousand-mile horse and Bole, and there were many thousand-mile horses, but Bole didn't often have one. Not everyone can tell whether a horse is good or bad at a glance."
Ming Yu was amused by Bua Tan's stunned look, and he simply said, "Our caravan has dozens of horses and horses. When we go, ordinary horses will be enough to pull the goods. Replace some with good horses. Although the fur and skeleton of BMW good horses will be somewhat different, as long as the glamorous appearance is covered up, who will recognize a good horse or a bad horse?"
The corners of Bua Tan's eyes twitched, and what the prince meant was to use the good horses he exchanged to pull the cart so as to achieve
