"I won't talk about money? What's the matter with Wu Haogu?"

The next morning, Wu Yanen, who returned to the Goryeo Pavilion from Tianya Town, reported to Wu Yanchong about the negotiations with Wu Haogu yesterday.

When he heard that Wu Haogu was not planning to talk about money with Wu Yanchong in Haizhou, the Wu Dazhou Mu of the Goryeo Kingdom was also stunned.

How can a business person not talk about money? Is this businessman Wu Haogu a traitor or stupid?

"I've negotiated the weapons deal!" Wu Yanen said, holding his beard, "San brother, good news. This time the court is preparing to open up selling weapons to the Goryeo Kingdom... Except for the god-arm crossbow that is not sold, the buffalo horn bow is restricted, and there are all other weapons!"

Everything is there?

But there is not much money! If you don’t have enough money, no matter how good things are, they will belong to someone else. How can you not discuss this?

"But money..."

"Let's talk about money in Jiehe Shang City," Wu Yanen said with a smile. "Wuke Province said that it is absolutely guaranteed that the Goryeo Kingdom can buy enough weapons. The question now is whether the Goryeo Kingdom wants and how much does it require?"

"Of course the more weapons, the better! But that's the money..."

Wu Yanpeng frowned. The gold, silver and mountain goods prepared by the King of Goryeo were originally used to buy materials. Now the Song Dynasty does not sell materials, only weapons... Weapons are much more expensive than materials!

Moreover, the price of various mountain goods has dropped again. The original price of 3 million yuan is now only 2 million yuan left.

If 2 million is used to buy iron, cowhide and horns, you can buy a lot of them. But how many of them can you buy ready-made weapons?

A good buffalo horn bow is priced at 40 shreds on the market in Haizhou! You can buy up to 50,000 shreds of buffalo horn bows with a maximum of 2 million shreds, but there is no small profit but quick turnover!

50,000 adult male buffaloes will have to be slaughtered for 50,000 adult male buffaloes! Is there another saying that even if there is one, you cannot be slaughtered at will!

Moreover, the process of buffalo horn bow is very complicated. It takes several months to make a bow (a craftsman can make many pieces at the same time), and it is impossible to produce in large quantities.

Of course, the Goryeo army is not that extravagant, and it is impossible for everyone to have a buffalo horn bow. But ordinary weapons cannot be cheap! Because the production of weapons is monopolized, they are all made from official workshops... that is regardless of cost!

Now I want to sell it to Goryeo, can you ask for a cheap price?

But it’s not OK to buy it now! The king of Goryeo has worked hard to govern for so many years and finally waited for the decline of Liao. How could he miss this opportunity to rise?

The Goryeo King Wang Yong had already discussed with his ministers. He first took the land of Helandian Five Waters, and then invited the birth of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe in the land of Helandian Five Waters. If he could win, he would attack the east and north of Taibai Mountain and Taibai Mountain. At the same time, he would carry out the Bohai Da Clan royal family as a call, fight and comfort, and constantly gathered the birth of the Jurchen tribe and strive to restore the Bohai Kingdom's hometown!

In the process of attacking the Jurchens and seizing the Bohai land, the Goryeo Kingdom must also be prepared to go to war with the Khitan at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to stockpile a large number of weapons and launch a large number of troops to fight at any time.

The troops that can be used across Goryeo have long been counted. Under the circumstances of national mobilization, up to 200,000 troops can be recruited!

The reserve of weapons is calculated based on half of the 200,000 army. At least weapons that can be equipped with 100,000 troops must be prepared, including armor, bows, arrows, swords and shields, guns and spears. At the same time, a certain number of horses, harnesses and horse harnesses must be prepared. Some of them are produced by the Koryo country, such as wooden bows, wooden shields, gun rods, spear rods, harnesses, and horse harnesses.

However, weapons that use iron tools, cowhide, cow horns, rattans and other raw materials that are not produced in Goryeo itself, or that are insufficiently produced, such as horn bows, armor, swords, spear tips, etc., all depend on imports.

In addition, there is a serious lack of horses in Goryeo now, and the Liao Kingdom has also imposed an embargo on Goryeo. Therefore, the King of Goryeo also hopes to import some from the Song Dynasty.

In short, the money that needs to be spent is not a small amount!

Seeing this cousin who was an official in Goryeo Kingdom anxiously and angry, Wu Yanen smiled: "Don't worry... Since the Song Dynasty court is willing to unite with Goryeo, there is always a way for money.

By the way, third brother, you said yesterday that you had prepared a million-dollar mountain goods and medicinal materials? Should we ask our fleet to transport them to Haizhou as soon as possible? Now the Jurchens are also selling a large number of mountain goods and medicinal materials. If they come late, they are afraid they will not be able to sell them for more... "

Wu Yanchong nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I'll ask my elder brother for this matter."

Wu Yanen nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll send the fast ship to Haizhou, Goryeo."

The fur, ginseng, medicinal materials and other mountain products transported by Koryo are actually not that "worthless". The current decline is only temporary. Because of the war, both sides...especially the Jurchen side, which is not very large, the strong men are on the battlefield. Who has the time to fight tigers, bears, and dig ginseng?

So when the war comes, the supply of these good things will definitely become tight, and it will increase by less than a few times by then?

Before the fight starts, stock up more and then I will send you!

...

In Haizhou, the evil capitalists Wu Haogu and Wu Yanen were busy making a fortune in war. In the ancient Guanzhong Plain, Lantian County’s parents, Guan Wu Haowen, Wenwu Qingtian, took him to the Lu family in Lantian, and came to Jingzhao Prefecture City in disgrace.

The Jingzhao Prefecture City in the Song Dynasty seemed cramped and shabby. This city was not the Chang'an City that carries the glorious temperament of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but a new city built by Han Jian, the governor of the Kuang Kingdom, who was left behind at the time, on the basis of the Chang'an Palace City after Zhu Quanzhong moved to Zhaozong in Luoyang at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The city was about 5 miles long from east to west and about 3 miles wide from north to south, and more than 17 miles around, with an area of ​​about 5.2 square kilometers, which was only one-sixteenth of the old Chang'an City, and it was not even the emerging Jiehe Shangshi.

On the east and west sides of the small Jingzhao Prefecture City, two smaller cities were built as the capital of Chang'an and Wannian counties.

Unlike the Lantian County town that was almost collapsed, Jingzhao Prefecture City is tall and sturdy. There are large trenches outside the city, which look like a strong city.

It is now approaching late autumn. The autumn harvest on the Guanzhong Plain and the nearby Jingxi Road have been completed. Many local autumn taxes have also been paid. Countless vehicles have begun to transport grain to Jingzhao Prefecture City. Jingzhao Prefecture City is the logistics point of the Western Army. The grain and grass transported from the east are stored here and then shipped in batches and stations.

The so-called "sub-station shipping" means setting up a transfer station less than a hundred miles along the grain transport route, where counties along the way are responsible for providing civilians, chariots, horses and some feed, and responsible for maintaining the road. The purpose of this is to reduce the number of vehicles and cattle and horses at the same time after the grain transported is consumed by the oxen and horses pulled by the carts, so as to increase the delivery rate. However, no matter how carefully calculated, the delivery rate of 2,000 miles will not exceed 20%.

Setting up grain stations and relay transportation along the way is also a very heavy burden for the people of Guanzhong counties.

As the parent official of Lantian County, Wu Haowen also had to take on the task of mobilizing civil servants, cattle, horses, and vehicles to serve at designated transit stations. This had to beg for the Lü family of Lantian! Without their assistance, Wu Haowen's magistrate would not have been able to do the autumn after the autumn!

In Guanzhong, there is nothing bigger than supplying the frontline!

Therefore, the magistrate of Wuhan University had no choice but to use the Lv family in Lantian. If you want to implement the troops in the palace, you have to follow their methods.

Otherwise, don't do anything and just live a peaceful life...

But Wu Haowen wanted to achieve something, so after arranging the corvee service in the county, he came to Jingzhao Prefecture City and found the business of Jingzhao Prefecture Baojia Prefecture Soldier Company.

Ji Yi seemed to have planned to live a long life in Jingzhao Mansion, so she did not live in the cramped office, but rented a large mansion in Shuangkyu Fong, Jingzhao Mansion City, with three in and three out, and a stable and a back garden.

When Wu Haowen visited, Ji Yi and the whole family who came with him had just been settled.

"Brother Yizhi is in great interest. He actually bought such a house in Jingzhao Mansion?"

Hearing Wu Haowen's words, Ji Yi immediately laughed: "I hope you and I can't get it done in Jingzhao Mansion in a few months. This mission... I'm afraid it will take three years to go back. How can I not be able to get a good place for my life?"

These two people are considered old acquaintances. Although they have been alienated for a while due to party disputes, Wu Haowen doesn't know what grudges Ji Yi and his brother have made? So they are still very friendly to Ji Yi.

"It takes three years..." Wu Haowen followed Ji Yi, who was out to welcome him, and after he sat down, he began to do business according to the other party's words.

"Brother Yizhi, my opinion, our errand can't be done for thirty years!"

"How could it be?" Ji Yi looked at Wu Haowen with a smile, "I hope, have you talked about the military soldiers with the Lu family in Lantian?"

"What are you talking about? I was taught a lesson by that Mr. Ida."

"What?" Ji Yi was stunned, "He wouldn't agree to build a military soldier in Lantian?"

"I agreed, but I agreed," Wu Haowen shook his head, "just..."

"Haha," Ji Yi smiled, "It's good if you agree! If you agree, this matter will be done!"

"It can't be done..." Wu Haowen smiled bitterly and told Ji Yi all the words of Lu Yishan and Lu Jingshan.

After hearing this, Ji Yi laughed loudly, "Brother Dao, things have been done! Things have been done!"

"It's done?" Wu Haowen shook his head, "How is it possible? What the Lu family wants is the real power of Lantian County..."
Chapter completed!
