The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 41 Hetuala
The little flag officer led the sergeants to fetch water, slaughter mountain objects, hang furs, and find firewood for a long time.

Tang Qing'an and the others sat in a circle on the ground.

"If the horse market is confirmed, brothers, decide whether to go big or small?" He looked at everyone tentatively.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Chen Song and the guarding young master exchanged glances, and Chen Song took the initiative to ask.

"Of course I want to make it bigger."

"According to what I know about the price in Datong, the official horse price was about ten taels a horse earlier, but the price has dropped sharply over the years, and the lowest price was only five taels of silver."

Tang Qing'an looked at everyone, and they were all shocked.

The horse administration in Da Zhou has long been abandoned, and there is a shortage of horses everywhere, only Datong is better, and their Liaodong area is even more short of horses because it is different from the other nine sides.

"We have a horse here. Last year, the price was 15 taels a horse. If it is good, it will go up to 20 taels. Doesn't it mean that if you just digest it locally, you will be able to double the profit?"

The son of the defender was panting heavily, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

"The horse markets are different in different places. The target there is the Tumote Department. It has been trading with Dazhou for decades, so the price is low. We are barbarians here. It is impossible for the price to be so low. I guess it may be around ten taels. .”

"That's not bad. Even if a horse is sold for 15 taels, there is still a gross profit of five taels of silver." Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with smuggling.

"Do you know how much Jinling sells?" Tang Qing'an smiled, showing a slap in front of everyone's eyes.

"50 taels?" Everyone was stunned.

"The imperial court was extremely short of horses the year before last, and most of the horses from Shanxi were not sold to the mainland. As a result, the price of horses in Jinling changed every day, and the highest rose to 50 taels."

fivefold benefit.

Everyone fell silent.

"If we buy tea, cloth, salt and other daily necessities from Jianghuai, and exchange them for horses, animal skins and other things from the barbarians, the benefits for both sides can even reach ten times.

If there is a fine horse, it is not a problem to sell it for 100 taels. Back then, Jinling shipped a very handsome horse, but it was sold for more than 300 taels of silver. "

Tang Qing'an smiled.

"That's why I asked you if you are planning to do it in Dali."

"Qing'an, if the matter gets too big, we won't be able to handle it." Among the crowd, the young master of the guard family finally spoke, with a troubled expression on his face.

"And from Liaodong to Jinling, we can still take care of the Liaodong area, but we can't do anything after entering Shanhaiguan."

"Shanhaiguan is not easy to manage, and there are Jizhen, Shandong... It's not something ordinary people can do this way."

Everyone raised the question.

"That's why I want to bring in the Xue family. We will go by sea and land to Layden, Shandong, and the rest of the road will be handed over to the Xue family. Their family is a merchant of the inner government money bank, and they have business roads to cover."

Tang Qing'an explained the Xue family's heels, and except for the Wu family brothers, the other two suddenly realized.

Below Shandong is Jinling, successively Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou, Jiayu Village in Yingtianfu, and Zhenjia in Jiangnan...

That's all that Tang Qing'an knew about their relationship, and there were other things he didn't know.

In fact, there is no risk in Shandong. Xue's family is backed by the four major families, and Xue's family is originally an imperial merchant, so they have this way.

Instead, the biggest risk is whether they can open up the commercial road in Liaodong.

Beizhen and Donghaibao are exactly one north and one south, and the commercial roads are ready-made.

"Beizhen, brother Sheng'an, are you sure?" Tang Qing'an asked about the defender.

Li Shengan pondered for a while, and finally shook his head.

"If it's just a small fight, then there's no problem, but according to what you said, the Xue family will be involved..."

"Come on step by step."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Now that Xue's parents' house should be in the capital, he should go to the capital after being out for so long, not only to meet Xue's family, but also Jia Zhen.

While a few people were chatting and laughing, groups of cavalry from Fushun, Tieling, and Kaiyuan poured into the city of Hetuala.

All the riders are prairie horses, sometimes galloping with whips, and sometimes pulling the horses to slow down, so that the tired ass can be repaired a little.

Still on the semi-frozen hard ground, "咚咚咚......", the sound of the horse's hooves is particularly eye-catching, like a galloping beast in the open wilderness.

Today, the Great Khan summoned him, and it was the political meeting every five days. All the council ministers, Baylor of the Eight Banners, and Mele Erzhen all came to the capital of the barbarians.

Since the descendants of Fushun were organized into [-] households and moved into Hetuala City the year before last, the entire Hetuala City has the appearance of a capital city, which is not as dilapidated as it used to be.

Daishan, Mang Gurdai, Huangtaiji, Du Du, Baylor of the Eight Banners of Amin came in one after another, Fei Yingdong, E Yidu, Hu Erhan, He Heli, An Feiyanggu, plus the rest Mailer Ergens.

The entire conference hall seemed to be full of talents, while Li Yongfang in the corner stood quietly aside, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

As the first general of the Zhou Dynasty to surrender to the barbarians, Li Yongfang received preferential treatment and married the daughter of Nurhachi's seventh son, Abatabel, and became Fushun's son-in-law.

"Sweaty."

"Sweaty."

……

When a majestic person came in, everyone shouted quickly.

After the man sat down, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can the captives be properly settled in various places?"

Fei Yingdong stepped forward and replied, "A total of 30 captives from various places have been distributed to the Eight Banners, and the resettlement has been completed."

After hearing this, Nurhachi nodded in satisfaction and said, "I plan to organize the Mongols who have taken refuge and surrendered among the Eight Banners into one banner."

After hearing this, Li Yongfang raised her head and her eyes lit up.

"What do you think?"

Everyone discussed it and finally agreed that it was feasible.

The old barbarian Khan passed away, and the new Khan Lin Dan Khan did nothing in his youth, which caused the Mongolian tribes to lose their support and was wooed by the barbarians a lot.

Later, in order to strengthen the headquarters, Lin Danhan continued to annex the rest of the tribe under the pretext of not listening to the call of the headquarters, being close to the barbarians, and being close to the Great Zhou, which aroused dissatisfaction among the various tribes.

Originally, due to the long-term blockade of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Chahar headquarters was very barren. Not only could it not award rewards to the various ministries, but they kept asking for them.

Now it has begun to annex the various ministries, causing the various ministries to be separated from the Chahar headquarters. Taking advantage of the dispute between the two ministries, the barbarians suddenly intervened and attracted many Mongolian tribes.

Centering the Eight Banners toward the barbarian Mongols, and setting up the Mongolian Banner alone, everyone believes that it will help improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

"Since this is the case, arrange this matter as soon as possible. Zhou Guo is now consolidating Shenyang's defense line. We can't give them too much time."

In the past, 30 slaves were obtained, countless supplies were robbed, and they were all distributed to the bannermen. Now the army is in full swing.

Nurhachi knew the Dazhou army too well, and knew that the life of the Dazhou soldiers was difficult, so he didn't think that the other party could make any changes.

"Fu Shun's forehead."

Li Yongfang heard Nurhachi's cry and responded quickly.

"I have something important to ask of you."

"Please give orders."

"You know a lot of Zhou Guojun generals, you help me recruit them, whether they want money or women, or even continue to command their own subordinates, you can agree to them."

Nurhachi looked at Li Yongfang and said seriously.

"I'll pick out all the Han Chinese from the Eight Banners and hand them over to you to lead, so you can go there without worry."

Li Yongfang was moved to tears, she knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Khan is wise!"
