Portable Space Can be Summoned

Of course, these are only Yang Yuan's guesses. It will take time to prove when this bitter fruit will ripen and where it will fall.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the strength of the barbarians will become stronger with the increase of trade with Qi.

However, from King Qi's point of view, maybe he thinks that Qi will become stronger faster than the grassland, so he is willing to maintain this speed of development.

"What is the difference between Shun State and Qi State?"

It was the first time for Zhang Zhixiao to know about the prairie trade in Qi State, but he had heard about the prairie trade in Shun State for a long time.

And he was very sure that the court of Shun Kingdom was very opposed to grassland trade.

It's just that the border between Shun Country and the Grassland is too long, so it is very troublesome to fight against smuggling.

In the northeast of Shunguo, Yangchang in Cangyang County is the most prosperous smuggling route, even if there are eighteen bandits scattered on it, there are still a constant stream of merchants.

The stationing of the Breaking Front Battalion still cannot change this situation.

And Zhang Zhixiao didn't have that much energy to catch smugglers.

Yang Yuan has a deeper understanding of Shun State's grassland trade than Qi State, because he has a very good partner, Tie Yunzhai.

As one of the Eighteen Bandits, Tieyunzhai is already one of the main forces in the grassland trade.

Therefore, the eighteen bandits on the intestines of sheep will never be exhausted.

Yang Yuan: "Shun State and Qi State have different attitudes towards grassland trade. The most fundamental reason is that the goods traded are different."

Zhang Zhixiao pretended to be willing to hear more about it, and looked at Yang Yuan seriously.

"Qi produces domestic salt, and the salt produced can not only meet the needs of the country, but also be sold to our Shun country and the grasslands in the north.

But I still need to buy a large part of the salt in Shun State from Qi State, so not many people sell salt to the grasslands.

The goods that more merchants transported to the grassland were grain, ironware and tea.

But the main commodity is food. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhixiao already understands it without Yang Yuan talking about it.

Shun country is neither a country rich in grain, nor does it have the fish and salt benefits of Qi and Chu.

If you want to trade on the grassland, you can only transfer domestic grain, which is really traitorous.

Without salt, the common people can find ways to survive.

But if there is a shortage of food, there are only two ways left, starve to death or rebel.

No wonder!

Zhang Zhixiao suddenly understood the commander's order.

"The eighteen bands in the intestines of the sheep were also introduced by them?"

Yang Yuan admired Zhang Zhixiao's ability to quickly find the key point.

These high-ranking people are indeed not simple.

They can find the most important link by just dialing a few words.

Then Zhang Zhixiao added his point of view, "No, Shun Country is different from Qi Country, the strength of our domestic aristocratic family has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to openly join the grassland trade like Qi Country.

Therefore, at most two or three of the Eighteen Bandits have the support of noble people behind them, and the rest can only operate secretly even if there are people behind them.

So no matter what the names of the Eighteen Bandits are or how their leaders change, they will never be completely wiped out! "

pretty!

Almost exactly.

Zhang Zhixiao's speculation is almost the same as what Yang Yuan learned.

It's just that he is still not sure which groups of Eighteen Bandits are behind them, and which side is behind them.

This is one of Yang Yuan's real goals.

If you want to collect and collect the eighteen bandits, the forces behind them are obstacles that cannot be skipped. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

It would be too slow to send people to infiltrate other cottages, and then secretly inquire about the news. Yang Yuan didn't have that much time, so it was very important to find someone with a high enough status to get in touch with those forces.

"What Uncle Shi said is absolutely correct, except for those desperate businessmen, the Eighteen Bandits are the biggest participants in grassland trade.

"

Yang Yuan confirmed Zhang Zhixiao's guess.

Zhang Zhixiao asked again at this time: "You want me to help you solve the threat of the Eighteen Bandits."

Zhang Zhixiao thought that since the Yang family wanted to participate in the grassland trade, the existence of the Eighteen Bandits was the biggest threat, and since he happened to hold military power in his hands, this was what the Yang family should value.

Yang Yuan's answer surprised him, "No, Uncle Shi, you have already said that the Eighteen Bandits are inexhaustible. If so, don't waste energy on them. Other businessmen can pass through the sheep's intestines. We Naturally it will pass."

Zhang Zhixiao was a little confused at this moment: "Since that's the case, you don't need to tell me about this matter. Why did you tell me so much?"

Why do you have to talk so much about yourself without the escort of the Breaking Front Battalion under your command? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?

Or did you expose it to yourself on purpose?

"Uncle Shi, didn't you just guess that the Eighteen Bandits are backed by noble people. Although I don't want to conflict with the Eighteen Bandits, you also know the nature of bandits. In case of accidents, I don't want to find someone else." Are you relying on the mountain?"

Yang Yuan half-truthfully explained why he had to tell Zhang Zhixiao about this matter, and he also gave a foreshadowing in advance, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.

Now Zhang Zhixiao understood what Yang Yuan meant, it turned out that he wanted to drag himself into the water.

Zhang Zhixiao didn't immediately refuse, nor did he immediately agree, but took the cold tea beside him and brought it to his mouth, regardless of the temperature of the tea, he just drank it like this.

"Let me think."

Yang Yuan immediately understood what it meant when he heard it, got up and left, and said that he was waiting for Uncle Shi's call at any time.

This matter can be considered.

There are definitely risks, and they are not small, but as long as I can communicate with the commander in place, it should be resolved. Even if there is a problem, I can choose to go out most of it.

Besides, based on the relationship between Zhang and Yang, the Yang family should not easily frame him, and Yang Yuan is not a person who does not know the heights of the heavens and the earth, so the probability of being caught is not high.

The benefits are also obvious, not to mention the 30% stake that Yang Yuan just promised, but the special products purchased from the grasslands that Zhang Zhixiao didn't want to refuse.

Livestock, horses, who can say no?

Zhang Zhixiao also wants to form a cavalry army. The superiors will not allocate horses to the subordinates. I will buy horses for the head office myself. It is not my own private soldiers. They will be used 100% for the Pofeng battalion. As long as the commander-in-chief agrees, no one can say anything .

And agreeing to Yang Yuan's request for cooperation has another benefit, food.

Yang Yuan made it very clear in private that 30% of the shares can be paid with livestock, horses or grain.

Another condition that Zhang Zhixiao could not refuse.

Done!

Zhang Zhixiao really couldn't refuse the temptation of horses and food, and was ready to accept Yang Yuan's request for cooperation.

But he plans to negotiate with Yang Yuan on the specific terms.

Since it is cooperation, the interests that should be fought for must still be fought for.

Even if the final result is the same, this process of negotiation is also essential.

Yang Yuan didn't feel angry at all when he heard the news, instead he felt normal, and praised Zhang Zhixiao in his heart that he was worthy of being the leader of the Pofeng Battalion, and there was indeed a gap in his heart.

Yang Yuan behaved very normally and called on Zhang Zhixiao again, but this time, he came to say goodbye.

"Uncle Shi, I have already sent a letter to my family. The food donated to the Pofeng camp should arrive soon. At that time, the family will send someone to discuss the details of the cooperation with you. My nephew will not stay in your camp anymore. boring."

Zhang Zhixiao always believed that Yang Yuan was not the decision maker of the Yang family, so he didn't overly persuade him to leave.

This is what Yang Yuan wanted. Negotiation is the most boring thing, let the uncles in the family discuss it.

Anyway, it has been generally agreed, and it depends on their ability to dig out the details.
