Section 79: The Law of Survival
Although Ju Qi didn't talk much, she was silently worried about her own affairs. Things like war horses had nothing to do with her, but she could think of her uncle to understand the channels for war horses to enter Middle Earth.
The number of war horses in Central China is not small, especially in Jingji Province, Hedong, Daliang and Heshuo. However, the source of war horses in these places basically comes from the north, either the Dangxiang people in the northwest, the Uighurs and Tubos in the Western Regions, the Turks in the northwest, including the Shatu people in the north, or the Khitans, the Muhe people and the Xi people in the northeast.
All three places are rich in good horses. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the main horse farms in these three places were under the control of the Tang Dynasty. Excellent stallions continued to enter Guanzhong, Hedong, Heshuo and Pinglu for breeding, and a large number of excellent war horses were also cultivated.
However, with the disappearance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the main production areas of these war horse stallions fell into the hands of aliens, whether in the northwest, northeast, or northeast.
Although Zhongtu still retains many pastures, there are insufficient stallions, and the quality of war horses in the Central Plains is gradually deteriorating.
This is also reflected in the fact that the Daliang Iron Cavalry and the Hedong Iron Cavalry are increasingly at a disadvantage in the battle between them. The Iron Cavalry and the Dangxiang people of Guanzhong Iron Cavalry are obviously much inferior in combat. Similarly, the cavalry and horses in the Heshuo area have to rely on imports from the relatively harmonious Tuyuhun people, or when the relationship with the Khitan is still acceptable, but no matter what, there are already signs of being controlled by others.
Fortunately, although war horses are in short supply, the Central Plains also have what the northern nomadic peoples need, such as tea, iron, salt and silk cloth. Especially the first three, they are also indispensable for the nomadic peoples. Therefore, whenever the relationship between the north and the Central Plains is tight, this kind of trade will be interrupted and basically can only be carried out through smuggling. However, once the relationship is loose, this kind of trade will expand rapidly.
The transactions of horses are basically controlled in some special groups. Hu merchants, mainly Sogdians and Guanzhong merchants who have close ties with these Hu merchants basically monopolized the trade between spices, gems, horses and tea, salt, silk and iron in the entire northwest region.
"Xiang Niang, I understand your kindness. Xuzhou is indeed short of war horses, but it is not possible for your uncle to run this business." Jiang Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "I have also learned that in Xiazhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, a good horse also needs eight taels of silver. If transported to Chang'an, a healthy horse will increase to two or three gold. If transported to our Xuzhou, it is estimated that three to five taels of silver will be added. This price can barely be able to support three or five hundred horses. No matter how many, our Xuzhou can't afford it."
Ju Zi frowned, "Erlang, my uncle's family has been doing business all the time. They have a proverb, as long as there are people, there can be business to do. I believe that Xuzhou has hundreds of thousands of people in your hands, and Guangzhou. Could it be that such two large places, plus the Shouzhou in the future, with a radius of hundreds of miles and a population of millions, does it mean that there is no business to do for my uncle? Xuzhou needs war horses. Do you say that horse-producing horses, such as Ganzhou, Liangzhou and Xiazhou, do you have nothing that our Xuzhou produces and needs?"
These words were straightened out, which made Jiang Feng suddenly realize. Yes, Guangxu Shou’s three prefectures and ten counties, Guangxu Seven counties are now under his control, and Huoqiu and Anfeng are also in a state of chaos. With such a large land and a population of hundreds of thousands, is there no business that Ju Qi and his wife can do?
The reason why they were unable to do business here in the past was because they did not have a reliable backer. Now they are different. They hold control of this land. So why can't this mutually beneficial business be done to both parties?
As for how to do it and what all parties need, Jiang Feng believes that these businessmen can fully tap into various needs.
"Okay, Qian Niang, then you can contact us first to see if you can open up a channel. I have arranged for Cui Shang to find suitable wasteland in Yincheng and Shengtang counties to build horse farms in the future, but in the short term, we may have to input from the north. As of now, it is unlikely to enter war horses from the other two channels. Only from Xiazhou, Ganzhou and Liangzhou can you establish a stable channel. It is not easy. You don't have to be afraid of anything. Tell your uncle about the actual situation here. Just do it. If not, we can also establish a relationship of incense first. Let's talk about it in the future."
Ju Luan understood Jiang Feng's meaning, don't force it. After all, businessmen put business first and can do any business, but only the business cannot be done. This is an eternal truth.
"I know, I know that my two uncles are good. I will never forget their principles just because I am their relatives. Not to mention that I am their niece, even their brothers and even their biological parents, I probably have to follow their principles." Ju Qiyan obviously also knows the style of their tribe.
"That's the best. I don't want anyone to owe you because of the matter of Xuzhou. Is Xuzhou worth it or not? Naturally, someone can see it, and no one needs to sympathize with the alms." Jiang Feng smiled proudly and said, "I will prove it to the world."
Jiang Feng's somewhat domineering words made his beautiful eyes more intoxicated, and Ju Luo's love in his heart became stronger.
No woman does not want her husband to be strong, confident and confident. This is the nature formed by male and female creatures in the evolution of thousands of years of history. It is more obvious in troubled times, even Ju Li, who doesn't care much about many aspects, is no exception.
For so long, Ju Luo has been with Jiang Feng. To be honest, she feels that her hatred for her family has gradually faded.
As Jiang Feng told her, success, kings and defeats, whether it is the Shenzhou Ju family or the Guangzhou Xu family, they are just a small stone in the long river of history. It is normal for survival, despair, rise and fall in such troubled times. Since you are sitting in that position, you must have that awareness.
Just like you think that maybe you will not be that dangerous if you are a small commoner, but maybe a small group of ant thieves pass by your home can make your family die on the spot. You will feel that being a big man is safer. Everyone has their own responsibilities and obligations in every position, and there is no way to go.
Seeing Ju Li's beautiful eyes full of affection, her charming and gorgeous face turned red in pink, and her slightly thin clothes made the plump breasts even more trembling, making people fascinated.
A sensational flame ignited from the heart. Jiang Feng licked his dry lips, reached out and held Ju Lie's white wrist, and gently pulled it. After all, Ju Lie, who is of Hu's blood, was not as sarcastic as other women. He just had his cheeks red and sat in Jiang Feng's arms.
Jiang Feng had already held Ju Luo's delicate face with one hand, his plump and plump red lips, and his ups and downs, and immediately took it into his pocket.
He was panting and whispering. At this time, Ju Li was like an ordinary woman, letting the husband play with him in his arms.
She also knew that the pair of **s on her body was the most eye-catching. She deliberately concealed and hid her when she practiced martial arts in the Lishan Sect. However, her bloodline made her figure far better than other Han women. Even if she could hide it, she also attracted the covetness of countless men. She also forced her to maintain a cold posture in the sect to protect herself from harassment. She was also worried about the burden on her chest.
But now, seeing that Lang Jun loves the burden on his chest so much, Ju Zi's mood has improved again, and it is not in vain that he has suffered a lot for the burden on his pair, so he deliberately straightens his chest so that Jiang Feng can get what he wants.
The huge and elastic pair of jade balls kept changing shapes in Jiang Feng's hands. The woman with alien charm in her arms was already moved as if she was twisting her body and seemed to invite her to taste it further, but Jiang Feng was unwilling to be so hasty.
He could be so kind to love and keep his hands and eyes tender, but he could not have sloppyly seized Ju Li's first time. No matter where the relationship between the two people has reached, he felt that he should give each other a formal ceremony. Now is not the time.
It seemed that she felt Jiang Feng's deliberate suppression, and Ju Li's eyes also had a little resentment, but she soon understood something from Jiang Feng's lovely gaze, and her inner joy became even more.
"Erlang, do you remember the first time we met Lu Gao when we went to Bianliang?" After a long time, Ju Li seemed to make up his mind to whisper, but his face was as red as a ripe apple, which surprised Jiang Feng. He was so passionate before, and it seemed that Ju Li was not as shy and embarrassed as he was.
"Well, remember, I think you seem to be a little cold to Lu Gao. Why, he has bad intentions to you?" Jiang Feng also remembered the situation at that time. Lu Gao's eyes looking at Ju Luo were indeed a bit strange.
"Not exactly, he must have thoughts about me, but he doesn't have the courage yet. I mean he mentioned the situation of our Lishan Sect in a very obscure way. Yin is strong and Yang is weak, and it is mainly women. Few male disciples succeed. It is rare for Lu Gao to climb to the position of Yijun Yuhou. This is mainly related to the martial arts practiced by our Lishan Sect." Ju Qi paused, "Although our Lishan Sect has few male disciples, it has influence in places including Daliang, Hedong, Guanzhong, and even Huainan and Heshuo. Among them, many of our female disciples have married into the wealthy families of the clans in these places."
Jiang Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that the Lishan Sect had such a method, but then he thought that a sect in the martial arts world demanded growth and growth, and he was afraid that some methods would be too forced to do so, so he smiled, "This is understandable."
