Chapter 481 Black Heart
Jiang asked, "Is there anything else?"
Mo Ya is responsible for monitoring the seven kingdoms of courts. He has found out many information every day. There are a lot of useful and useless things.
Mo Ya said: "The situation in the seven countries is still stable. Qin Luowang has been making great moves in recent days. Most of their strongholds in Yan State were pulled out by the Marquis. Prince Yan has also been cleaning up Luowang's strongholds during this period. If Qin does not want to give up Yan State, it will inevitably let Luowang establish a new intelligence stronghold in Yan State."
"It's just that Luowang acts secretly. With our current strength, it's difficult to find out Luowang's specific actions."
"With your secret support from Marquis of Baiyue, although you are unable to expand your power, you can stabilize the situation for the time being. Qi State is preparing to send envoys to Yan to discuss the alliance between the two countries. As for South Korea, Wei Zhuang and Bai Yifei are competing for military power, and Wei Zhuang is currently at a disadvantage."
Jiang 'En' said, looking at Xuan Jian, and said, "You must not let Yan Qi form a successful alliance. You cooperate with Mo Ya. If the envoy of Qi enters Yan State, immediately lead people to intercept and kill him. You can take action yourself!"
Xuan Jian bowed and said, "Subordinate to obey the order!"
Mo Ya continued: "There are so many big things, and some small things have been sorted out and stored in the secret room."
Jiang Zan said: "Very good!"
Xuan Jian has been following Jiang, and there is no need to report on the affairs of the Jianghu and the various schools of thought.
After discussing the next matter with everyone, Jiang Xun retreated and only kept his confidant.
"Xiao He, how did the trade with the Huns go on?"
Xiao He reported: "The Hun tribes we contacted have agreed to trade with us. Winter is approaching, and the Huns have suffered another big defeat this year. If there is no support from the Marquis, I am afraid that many people will die of cold this winter."
Winter was a life-seeking season in ancient times.
Almost every winter, people will freeze to death and starve to death. If there is a natural disaster, they will be even more starved to the whole world and the people will change their children to eat.
After all, the Central Plains is an agricultural country. As long as the banker harvests well, it is not impossible to survive the winter.
But the Huns couldn't do it.
In that winter, tens of thousands of people were not killed or injured in the Hun tribe?
It is not scary to be frozen to death, but what is scary is that animals are frozen to death.
Without cattle, sheep and other livestock, the Huns would have to wait to die unless they plunder the Central Plains.
Jiang Qing chuckled and said, "Very good. Since the Huns are so anxious, then trade them before winter begins!"
"In addition to the treasures of the countries in the Western Regions, cattle, sheep, and horses are all a little bit. The most important thing is wool."
"Winter is coming soon, and wool products should be the most popular in Yan and Zhao countries."
Xiao He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Marquis, but we don't have much food this year!"
Jiang frowned when he heard this. Jiang actually calculated how much grain he had traded with the Xiongnu tribe.
At least we must sell grain to the Turks after satisfying the people of the Central Plains.
Moreover, ginger only collects grain from aristocratic nobles. The grain in the grain warehouses of these aristocratic nobles would rather rot in the warehouse than be distributed to the people for free.
Jiang puzzled, "We should have some funds, can't we go to other countries to collect grain?"
Xiao He shook his head and explained: "It can't be collected anymore. Such a large amount of food was transported to Dai County, I'm afraid that someone would notice it."
The transaction between Jiang and the Huns must not be exposed to the open.
People with vision can naturally see that Jiang's move was to differentiate the Huns, with the purpose of letting the Huns content and delaying the time for the Huns to unify.
But how many visionary people can be found in the world?
If this matter is exposed, I am afraid that most people in the world will think that Jiang is colluding with the Huns and strengthening the Huns' strength.
The intelligence network in Xuan Jian's hands is responsible for controlling such rumors.
The merchants who knew that Jiang was engaged in trade with the Xiongnu were all monitored by Jiang.
Jiang asked, “How many more can we take out?”
Xiao He said seriously: "With ensuring that you need it, you can only take out a maximum of 100,000 stones!"
From now until the autumn harvest next year, ginger will have to keep food for at least ten months.
Don't listen to Jiang and Yanchun. 31xs. Jun Chubi said that he had millions of stones of food and grass, but that was the rations of 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of slaves, and nearly 100,000 migrant workers for ten months.
Six tribes, one hundred thousand stones...
Jiang frowned and said, "For the Huns, 100,000 stones are enough, why can't they trade?"
Xiao He: "???"
Seeing Xiao He's confused face, Jiang chuckled and said with a funny look: "Mr. Xiao He, you are caught in a misunderstanding. The Huns are nomadic peoples and they make a living by livestock. As long as they survive this winter and wait until the weeds are green again next year, they can continue to grazing."
Xiao He's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he did ignore this.
Jiang Xiao said, "The Huns were newly defeated and were robbed of so many supplies by this marquis. It's not easy for them to have this winter."
"Mr. Xiao He, 100,000 stones of food and grass, this marquis will exchange for 100,000 gold supplies..."
"puff……"
Xiao He was drinking tea to moisten his throat, but when he heard Jiang's words, he sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
How did you buy this price of one gold for stone grain?
Was this conscience eaten by a dog?
This is too dark!
Xiao He hesitated: "Marty, I'm afraid the Huns will not agree!"
Jiang Xiao said, "Didn't we tell the Huns before that we can buy wool too? Add some wool to the supplies and they should be acceptable."
"It's just that our food prices have increased several times, and they need to pay more."
Xiao He bowed and smiled, "Mr. Marquis is kind and righteous. With these wools, the people of my county will have a better winter this year!"
Jiang Xiao said: "We mobilize the people to make wool products. When we sell the finished products to the people, we can also recover some funds."
"Now the people have seen hope and a better life in the future. It is not unacceptable to spend some money to make themselves live a better life."
Xiao He suddenly realized that compared to his marquis, he was simply a simple and kind little man.
Jiang's heart is really dark.
One hundred thousand stones of grain were first sold to the Huns at a double price in exchange for treasures and wool and other materials in the Western Regions. Then the wool was made into finished products and sold to the people of Dai County at a low price to recover the wages they had paid before.
When the spring of the coming year begins, ginger can use this money to collect grain from all over the Central Plains.
Perhaps you can receive hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass.
Then sell it to the Huns...
Jiang Xiao said, "I will leave the trade with the Huns to you, and I will do it more secretly."
Xiao He bowed and said, "I know!"
Jiang said: "At the side of Rao An, someone sent him to inform Pang Li that he had supported us a lot of supplies. When the transaction was over, he would send the treasures from the Western Regions to Rao An, so that Pang Li would be responsible for selling the stolen goods and collect some of the supplies we urgently needed."
