Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House
Chapter 697: Empty their pockets
Go to the official road in the northwest.
Before noon, a group of fierce Northwest soldiers dismounted and walked into the wine shop.
"Boss, serve wine and food."
Li Sheng looked at these fierce soldiers and didn't dare to neglect, so he personally greeted him.
Pei Rong played with a dagger with a cold expression.
The soldier stepped forward and whispered a report, "Report to the general, Mrs. Zhao will send someone to deliver the letter, I want to see the general."
"No! Tell her, this general will go back to the northwest from Beijing, don't find me about the capital."
Pei Rong returned to Beijing to marry his younger sister Pei Man.
Gu Ling and Pei Man had already left the capital last month for the northwest.
Pei Rong was delayed for more than a month because of official business.
Until today, I was busy with everything and set off with my soldiers back to Northwest Camp.
"Mrs. Zhao said that what she wanted to talk about was not about the capital, but about the Northwest, about Xiliang and Beirong."
Pei Rong snorted coldly, "Tell Liu Zhao to talk to me."
The soldier was very embarrassed and admired Gu Jiu. He had anticipated all the general's reaction in advance, and even prepared the answer.
The soldier bowed and said: "Mrs. Zhao said that it is inappropriate for your Highness to come forward."
Ha ha……
Pei Rong sneered.
He has never dealt with Gu Jiu, only heard of various rumors of Gu Jiu. The impression of Gu Jiu is average.
He said to the soldier: "Tell her that this general only talks to Liu Zhao. It is useless for her to come."
Anyway, after eating this meal, the next time I return to Beijing will be a few years later. The person who is anxious is the other party, not him.
The soldiers did their duty to spread the word, bowed their heads, and hurried out of the wine shop.
Sergeant Dou asked quietly: "The general really didn't see Mrs. Zhao"
Pei Rong smiled, "See what she is doing? We only have business dealings with her. We have a dedicated person in charge of business matters. It is useless for this general to see her. If she is speaking for Liu Zhao, then even more There is no need to meet. It is impossible for our Pei family to cooperate with Liu Zhao, at least it is currently not possible."
Mr. Dou thought for a moment and said: "The old man feels that Mrs. Zhao's advice to the general may have other meanings."
"Huh! Regardless of her deep meaning, this general will ignore it."
"Amitabha!"
With a Buddhist horn, Master Wuwang walked into this small wine shop.
The boss, Li Sheng, looked around, and drove Xiao Er all to the backyard. He also went to the kitchen himself.
In the lobby of the restaurant, there was only a group of soldiers and a group of hopeless masters with the style of a monk.
Pei Rong snorted when he saw Wuwang, "It's really rare that I will see the master here. The master is not unharmed!"
"The general is the same as before, fortunately!"
Pei Rong played with the dagger, and glanced hopelessly, "Who is the master here for? Or is it for your Buddha."
"Amitabha, the poor monk is just helping people give something to the general."
"what?"
Hopeless hand reached into his arms.
In the lobby, weapons sounded.
With just one look, hopeless blood will splash on the spot.
Hopeless and unmoved.
Pei Rong waved his hand, indicating that the soldiers need not be so nervous. It is hopeless that there is no guts to commit an assassination.
Hopeless to take out a receipt from his arms.
"Someone asked the poor monk to hand this receipt to the general for review."
Pei Rong raised his chin, and the soldiers took the receipt and placed it in front of him.
On the documents, there are all kinds of goods, and the quantity is large, and the value is high.
Pei Rong sneered, "I want to bribe this general to show this to this general?"
"The general is thinking too much. This is a list of goods, with a total value of 500,000 taels. If they are delivered to Xiliang Capital, the value will be as high as 3 million taels."
boom!
Three million two!
What is this concept?
The soldiers were shocked by the three million taels that Wuwang said.
Pei Rong narrowed his eyes, picked up the goods list, and looked carefully.
Ivory products, silk satin, tea, brown sugar, white sugar, porcelain, jade, lacquerware, bronze, gold, jewelry of various colors, fine cashmere products, wool products, various books, and various ironware that are extremely lacking in the grassland ...
Anything that is transported to the King City of Xiliang will be looted.
The only thing that needs to be worried about is: living for life, not for life.
Pei Rong's face was serious, and he waved his hand. All the soldiers stood up and surrounded the whole wine shop, not allowing anyone to enter.
Passing by the merchants and pedestrians, seeing this situation, wherever they dared to approach, lest they flee too slowly and become the souls of the sword.
Pei Rong put the list of goods on the table, "Madam Zhao asked you to come?"
"Exactly!" Hopeless, neither humble nor overbearing.
"She asked you to send this list, what do you mean?"
Hopeless and compassionate, "Madam wants to negotiate a deal with the general to help the general march west."
Pei Rong calmly looked at Army Master Dou.
Dou Junshi nodded slightly.
Pei Rong asked, "Where is Mrs. Zhao?"
"Wuliting ahead."
Pei Rong smiled, "Didn't you run errands for Liu Zhao? When did you become Madam Zhao's **** again?"
Hopeless smiled indifferently, "Thank you for the general's concern. The poor monk is willing to encourage Mrs. Zhao."
Pei Rong smiled, "Lead the way!"
Hopelessly, he turned and left the wine shop, and rode away.
Pei Rong brought the personal soldiers, and Army Master Dou followed behind.
Wuliting had long been cleaned up.
Green bamboo is boiling water and cooking tea in a small red clay stove.
Wang Yi secretly stumbled a few horses.
Xu Yousi led the people at the intersection, looking towards the wine shop.
Gu Jiu flipped through a book for entertainment.
Brother Yu accompanied Gu Jiu, sitting obediently, with a serious face, like a little adult.
Gu Jiu smiled at him, "Are you nervous about seeing General Pei?"
Brother Yu nodded and shook his head again.
"With a mother, my son is not nervous."
Gu Jiu touched his head, "It's normal to be nervous. He is a soldier, or a soldier who has made great achievements and kills people like hell. He has a soaring aura, and most people feel scared when looking at it from a distance. You are so young, so afraid. It will be nervous, it's all normal, so don't feel ashamed."
"When my son grows up, I won't be afraid."
"It's not enough to grow taller, you have to grow your brain and exercise your body. When you have enough confidence to face anyone, you don't have to be afraid.
Brother Yu raised his head, "What is confidence?"
"It's how many chips you have in your hand." Gu Jiu explained briefly.
Brother Yu seems to understand but not understand.
In the distance, the ground vibrates and the dust is flying.
Soon, people came to the front, raising the dust in the sky.
Fortunately, the pavilion was a little away from the official road, and the dust did not float over.
Pei Rong dismounted, wearing half armor and a sharp sword on his waist, striding towards the pavilion.
"General Pei, happy meeting!"
Gu Jiu stood up and greeted him actively.
Pei Rong smiled, and looked at Gu Jiu presumptuously, "Are you Madam Zhao?"
"General Pei can't remember it. I remember we only met once when Gu Ling was married."
"I didn't take a closer look at that time."
Gu Jiu greeted Pei Rong to take his seat.
Green bamboo serves tea.
"General Pei drinks tea."
"Tea can be drunk at any time, Madam, let's just talk about your purpose. This general has limited time and can't waste unnecessary eating and drinking."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "General Pei is refreshed."
She clapped her hands, Qing Zhu took out a package of grease-wrapped things from the food basket and placed them on the stone table, which looked like they were eating.
Then, she motioned to Pei Rong to open it herself.
Pei Rong was full of doubts, and opened the greased paper package, which was cut into small pieces of meat.
"this is?"
Gu Jiu said softly, "This is beef jerky. The cattle and sheep that your Northwest Army has seized on the grassland in recent years have basically been purchased by our Four Seas Commercial Bank through the Shaofu. The purchase price, an adult cattle, is about four taels of silver. Very fair.
Beef jerky is made from the prairie cattle you seized, so it can be stored for a long time. Beef jerky packed like this has been verified to be stored for six months in a humid and rainy place. In a dry and drier place, storage for one or two years is not a problem.
We also adjusted the production process and made various flavors of beef jerky, with five flavors, spicy, spicy, sweet and salty, to ensure that it can satisfy any taste. General Pei, would you like to have a taste, so that your soldiers will also taste it? "
Pei Rong was dubious, took a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.
He eats five flavors, which tastes really good and very chewy.
He tasted other flavors, and found that he could accept the five flavors, spicy and salty. I don't like spicy and sweet taste.
He threw the remaining beef jerky to the soldiers so that they could taste it.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Beef jerky is easy to preserve, tastes good, and is easy to fill. It can be used as dry food, suitable for long-distance marches, and also suitable for long-distance businessmen."
"Do you want to sell beef jerky to the Northwest Army?" Pei Rong asked.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I just said, an adult grassland cow, our purchase price is four taels of silver. The cowhide can be used to make cowhide boots, cowhide backpacks, cowhide leather armor, and the bones can be ground into powder and mixed into food. Tendon and beef offal and premium beef can be sold to restaurants and wine shops.
The leftover beef is made into beef jerky and sold all over the world. General Pei guessed, how much money can an adult cow get after one process? "
Pei Rong vaguely caught the truth.
He pretended not to know, and asked: "How much money?"
"In Dazhou, the money you get is about 18 taels. If you sell beef jerky and cowhide products in Xiliang, you can get about 32 taels."
"Four-two purchases, but can you sell thirty-two taels?" Pei Rong frowned.
Gu Jiu laughed, "General Pei might as well think about it again, what happens when we dump beef jerky, a small inconspicuous food, to Xiliang?"
Buying in four or two and selling in thirty-two will soon empty the pockets of Xiliang herdsmen.
Pei Rong was very shrewd and saw the power of the veal jerky.
Gu Jiu took out the list of goods again, "The 500,000 goods were successfully transported to the Xiliang King City. It is conservatively estimated that the value will reach 3 million taels. From the perspective of General Pei, how about the items on the list? "
"Excellent!"
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "General Pei said it was excellent, that must be very good. This shipment of goods to Xiliang King City, no accident, will certainly cause Xiliang aristocratic rich family looting. Those women, men, will Fascinated by our goods.
And we only accept gold and silver transactions, or exchange with cattle, sheep and horses. In exchange for exquisite porcelain, silk, tea and other goods, the rich aristocrats in Xiliang would potter out the gold and silver they had hidden in the cellar. If there is not enough gold and silver, they will exchange cattle, sheep and horses on the pasture.
In order to meet the needs of the aristocratic women in Xiliang, we ensure that a batch of goods worth not less than three million taels will be delivered to the King City of Xiliang within three to four months. General Pei guessed, how long will it take for such a transaction to hollow out the gold and silver in the Xiliang King City? Cows, sheep and horses that emptied the pasture? "
When Xiliang's fiscal deficit and the economy went bankrupt, the nobles would double down on herders in order to maintain a luxurious life.
This will form a vicious circle.
If there is no external force for blood transfusion to Xiliang, Xiliang will not be far away. The entire country will be dragged down by economic bankruptcy.
The King of Xiliang will not be able to raise a decent army.
A country without an army is just a piece of fat, and everyone can rush to take a bite.
Pei Rong has fully understood Gu Jiu's intentions, "It is a good idea to empty Xiliang's gold and silver with exquisite goods, but it is unrealistic. Xiliang also has smart people, not everyone is stupid."
Gu Jiu nodded, and then said with a smile: "At any time, smart people are in the minority. Even if the smart people in Xiliang can see our purpose at a glance, what can he do? Follow and love?
When the nobles of Xiliang got used to the luxurious and exquisite life, they were told to tighten their belts and were not allowed to buy Dazhou goods. Based on General Pei’s understanding of the King of Xiliang, did he have this courage? "
Pei Rong hesitated.
Mr. Dou, a military strategist on the side, asked: "Mrs. Zhao is sure that your move can hollow out Xiliang's gold and silver and make Xiliang fall into civil strife?"
"I'm not sure, so I need Mr. Dou to advise me."
"I didn't expect Madam Zhao to know the old man."
"Mr. Dou was joking. Who can not know Mr. Dou, who is the famous one next to Luhou."
Mr. Dou stroked his beard and looked at Pei Rong.
On this occasion, it is inconvenient for him to speak more.
Pei Rong laughed, "Mrs. Zhao has a good idea. What do you need this general for?"
