Chapter 324: Merchants know no borders

Inside the big tent, the generals who were discussing military affairs and the subordinates who dealt with military newspapers and pamphlets all looked at the talking mud in a daze.

The Qi people’s court dragged on for half a month without responding to such a major event as the loss of the country’s land.

What kind of court is this!

Su Lu thought of a court, the Qing court.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the domestic political situation was corrupted, corruption was rampant, the military was lax, internally cruelly suppressed, and externally wronged, the last in power once said that they would rather be friendly than domestic slaves.

Could it be that this Qi country is also like this.

Su Lu thought this way, and casually asked Mud: "What's the domestic situation in Qi, but there are big grain merchants, can they take the lead and sell us the grain?"

Mud scratched his head when he heard the words: "The superintendent forgive the sins, but I really don’t know. These days I just ambushed and assassinated. Governor Li Ling went to Qi, and you can order him to search. Qi should have a big grain merchant. , I found two large grain depots in the South Bank."

Su Lu nodded, and told Mud and them to go down and rest. The strings were stretched on the ground for more than a month, and this group of boys had almost reached the limit of their bodies.

The lieutenant who had left Ding Xiangwei in the camp to listen to was called, Su Lu gave an order, and the lieutenant took the order.

Luo Xuan said next to him: "Supervisor, we are attacking Qi and occupying Qi's land. No matter how lawless the Qi country's merchants are, they will not dare to sell us their grain and grass."

Before Su Lu could speak, Su Yun, who came in from the outside, said, "That’s not true. Back then, Tulle committed my Han country. My brother and Tulle were in a deep and fierce battle. Those Shanxi merchants weren’t the same. Sell ​​the grain and grass to the enemy."

Luo Xuan was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Hey, so many bags, what are they in?"

Su Yun saw the bag placed in front of Su Lushuai's case and walked forward, wanting to open it.

These bags were dirty and randomly placed in front of Su Lushuai's case. They were out of step with the surroundings. Su Yun noticed them at once.

Only then did Su Lu think of the bag that a few school lieutenants put together before the mud was gone.

"Ah!"

Su Yun yelled, tightly covering the mouth of the bag, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes flashed brightly.

"Puff"

A silver ingot rolled out from the mouth of the bag and landed on Luo Xuan's feet.

"This is Qi's official bank?"

Luo Xuan picked it up and took a look, seeing the inscription on the bottom with a look of surprise.

Su Lu got up and asked, "Come here, go and ask, how much official silver did the mud bring back this time?"

One of the guards went out and came back after a while, and said excitedly: "Lord Qi, Lieutenant Mud brought back fifteen carts of supplies. They are basically all Qi State official silver. Master Zhou Yuan is counting."

Su Lu squeezed his chin. The muddy kid did a good job. Although silver can't be used as a meal, if he is willing to accept Tang's price, he can still buy a lot of food from Tang.

Three days later, Li Ling returned from Qi State, all on his own.

"The prince, I will not insult my life in the end. Not only did he inquire about the movement of the Qi court, but he also urged several large grain merchants in the Qi state, and their shopkeepers have arrived."

Su Lu nodded: "Why didn't Qi people send troops?"

A strange expression appeared on Li Ling's face: "Before Kang'an was killed by the mud captain, he did not report the loss of hundreds of miles north of Qingjiang to the court. Up to now, most people in the Qi court did not report to the court. I know that the north of Qingjiang has been lost in the hands of Han."

Luo Xuan snatched out from the side and asked: "Impossible, the Qi people can't only have Kangding line to reach the sky, so the Qi court would be too negligent."

Li Ling smiled: "General Luo said that Qi also has a monitoring system, and the intelligence is also transmitted to the capital, but it is all suppressed by Kang'an's backers."

Everyone in the account looked dumbfounded, **** it, they could still do it like this.

Su Lu smiled, just like the Qing court, many strange things are unimaginable.

"Zhou Yuan, you go, call in your civilian staff, and I will meet the big businessmen of the country, and push down the price of food. The quantity can be high, and you are not afraid of how high it is."

Zhou Yuan smiled with joy. Now he has money in his hand, and he will have food soon. This solved the problem of the Han army’s lack of food, and handled the logistics for the prince. The book of the Kingdom of Han recorded the time when the territory was opened up. , I must give him a heavy touch.

"The prince can rest assured that he will let the people of Qi leave happily."

The next day, as soon as the sky fell, Zhou Yuan walked into Su Lu's big tent, found a chair in it and sat down.

Su Lu, who was instructing military affairs, looked curious: "Zhou Yuan, what's wrong with you, the eyes are red like copper bells?"

Zhou Yuan wrinkled his face and smiled as if crying: "My lord, last night I was negotiating with Qi Ren’s grain merchants all night. When the price fell to three cents per catty, Qi Ren threw out something that I couldn’t accept. Bait."

Su Lu put down the brush in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and asked, “Can Qi people’s grain merchants help cover up the matter of us attacking Kang’an Camp and occupying a hundred miles of Qi’s land? The country will not raise troops."

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Lu in surprise, with a look like how do you know if some people had been secretly buried outside my camp.

Su Lu waved his hand: "Qi State's political situation is corrupt and corruption is rampant. It is not surprising that Qi Shang made such a promise. Compared with keeping food prices lower, the real benefits are what they are pursuing."

"Okay, I agree to them, but they are required to clear both the money and the goods, and the money cannot be paid in advance. It will be handed over in the south of Jiangling."

Zhou Yuan nodded heavily, turned around and left the camp, and went to negotiate with everyone.

The already washed mud was standing stunned by Shuai's case, his eyes were almost staring out, he didn't believe it at all, it could still be like this.

Su Lu smiled bitterly: "Surprised, strange? If I tell you, this is not a problem for the Qi people, believe it or not? As long as we can come up with the money, these Qi people's merchants dare to take the city one by one. Sell ​​to us."

Mud felt that his three views had been subverted in his eyes, faint, as if he had not recovered from the exhaustion of fighting in Qidi for days.

On the contrary, Zhao Zheng next to him said: "This is not uncommon, Lord Mud, we have seen many people of the same people who are not well clothed and can't eat enough. There is even a handful of food in the big tank at home. No, they were all cleaned up by the government. It's not surprising that such a court has done anything."

Zhao Zheng glanced at the entrance of the camp, and saw that there were no outsiders. He simply said, "Don't talk about the Qi people, it is our Han country. Before the king came out, it was not much stronger than the North Qi. How much land and sand occupied by Shanxi merchants? The people of the state can't eat enough."

"Big brother can't laugh, second brother, we couldn't get it there before in Han. Lieutenant Zhao Zheng was right."

At the door, the Ministry of War Shangshu Pound strode in.
