Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 87 Doing Business

He Zan returned back with his father's wishes.

He Huchen in the tent had an uncertain expression on his face.

Money is to be earned, but how to give him this product?

This matter needs to be carefully planned, and he understands the meaning behind He Jinzhao's actions.

If there are no thieves in Shaanxi, do you think you will have a chance in the future?
He Huchen, who had been Yang Zhaoji's deputy, understood the importance of rogues too well.

Only with more rogues can he climb to Yang Zhaoji's position.

The most important thing is to make money, not shabby!

We have to find a way to send Hong Chengchou away and let him go after Wang Jiayin and other people's troops.

Only in this way can he have the opportunity to make a deal with He Jinzhao.

This is easy to handle, after all, everyone doesn't want the family to eat Jiancheng.

As for what He Jinzhao wanted, it wasn't difficult to get.

It's just a craftsman, He Huchen doesn't have much resistance to buying and selling people.

This has to be found from Ningxia.

Ningxia was the first place where Ming Dynasty approved the manufacture of firecrackers in the Weisuo, and that was in the seventh year of Zhengtong (1422).

I have to send someone to find out one or two, but He Huchen thinks the technology should not be very good.

During Ming Chengzu period, gunpowder technology, gunpowder formula and gunpowder manufacturing were completely closed technologies, and the imperial court strictly controlled it, so gunpowder could not be improved.

After Ming Chengzu, the imperial court was worried that the leak of firearm technology would affect the rule of the imperial court, and it was very negative about the army's firearms.

Therefore, only a small number of Jiubian can make it, but due to technical reasons, it is somewhat flawed, so that the frontier army is less and less fond of using it.

Later, Ningxia was able to make firecrackers independently, which was approved by Yingzong.

Besides, He Huchen didn't believe that He Jinzhao could live in Ganquan County all his life.

At that time, the newly forged weapons will not all be their own?

After hearing He Zan's reply, He Jinzhao said that He Huchen is really an insect of Daming, with a person like him around, why not worry about gnawing Daming?
Why worry about not succeeding in your great career?

As long as everyone has an interest relationship, they can be regarded as temporary allies.

Then He Jinchao stepped up his military training.

During the period, Zhao Bancheng was approached by He Jinzhao: "I won't say too many polite words, the salt storage in the city is not enough, do you have a way to get some?"

Zhao Bancheng thought for a while: "Is it going to be sent outside our city?"

"Can there still be such a person with hands and eyes?" He Jinzhao was very surprised.

Zhao Bancheng smiled slightly: "I want King He to know that the big salt merchant in Shaanxi is behind the Marquis of Ningyang."

"Marquis of Ningyang?" He Jinzhao said he had never heard of it.

"The ancestor was Chen Heng, the Duke of Jing, who followed his father Jing Nan and was named Marquis of Ningyang. He followed Emperor Yongle five times in the northern expedition and stayed in Ningxia forever.

From that time on, the Chen family began to buy and sell salt, and it has been passed down to the current Marquis of Ningyang, Chen Guangyu. As long as he has enough money, he doesn't care about He Huchen's thoughts at all.

In addition, the roads in Ningxia and Datong are dangerous and far away. With the control of the Chen family, Huaiyan traders hardly come here. "

He Jinzhao thought about it, and according to the current lack of condiments, a person would have to eat at least a catty of salt a month.

"Okay, I need to get in touch with this person and buy him [-] catties of salt first."

Salt itself is profiteering.

Zhao Bancheng was a little overwhelmed by He Jinchao's generosity: "King He, this is not a small sum."

"If I buy less, I'm afraid he won't give it away."

Zhao Bancheng nodded. He Jinzhao had money. He knew that just eating the property of the Fan family was really enough.

"What does King He want so much salt for?"

"If you can't finish it, sell it to the people in Ganquan County at a low price."

He Jinzhao swallowed back the second half of the sentence, lest they be deceived.

"The old man will send his confidant to contact you."

Under the persuasion of the newly appointed generals led by Ai Wannian and others, Hong Chengchou agreed to temporarily besiege He Jinzhao and focus on encircling and suppressing the large forces of the rebels.

According to reliable sources, King Gao Chuang defeated Fu Shi and swept away many young and strong men.

If you don't fight this kind of big fish, you have to beat He Jinzhao with two or 3000 people. He is too thin and not worth it.

Coupled with the fact that the soldiers under him were unwilling to rush to the city desperately, and their morale was low, Hong Chengchou decided to adopt the method of encircling but not attacking for the time being.

Go fight Gao Chuangwang and others first to boost morale by one or two.

At this point, Hong Chengchou still didn't give up, and ordered people to publicize in the city that he would not pursue the faults of the people in the city. They were all coerced by the rebel He Jinzhao.

The imperial court will never massacre the city or its own people.

Especially for the rebels who voluntarily surrendered, Lord Yang He, the governor of the three sides, will give preferential treatment.

Regarding these remarks, neither the defenders nor the people in the city believed a single word.

The credibility of the imperial court has been completely ruined in Shaanxi.

We are all ordinary people, if we can keep our family alive, who will take the road of rebellion?
How can King He mean what he says, he doesn't rob ordinary people at all, and pays him money for his work.

Who wouldn't want to work for King He!

Court?

The imperial court is a fart!

Crazy He had a fever, and the doctor repeatedly lamented that he might not be able to survive such a hot day.

The officers and soldiers outside the city were very lazy, besieging Ganquan County every day.

But there was a tacit understanding to wait until the dung cart was pushed out in the city, dumped outside the west gate, and then moved forward.

Hong Chengchou took away many elite soldiers, and most of the rest of the besiegers were guard soldiers who ate their food and beat the clock all day.

Some people even came to ask the guards who dumped the dung truck how their lives were going.

After all, everyone has familiar fellow villagers.

Then the guards of the dung dumping truck complained for a while, saying that it was too hard, and only those who failed the training would be ordered to collect the dung and dump it.

"Then you just took the opportunity to come with me!"

"No, no, no." The soldiers of the Surrender Guard immediately shook their heads and put the excrement bucket on the car: "Under the hands of our team leader, we can eat enough, and we can eat some meat and drink broth on the tenth day.

Of course, if you want to eat two more pieces of meat, you have to be a capable person, so I can only drink the broth. "

"What the hell?" The guard soldiers who were chatting immediately stood up, without wiping their buttocks, and were about to jump over the moat: "I also want to surrender to King He."

"No, no, no, I can't be the master. What I just said is nonsense, nonsense."

"Hey, we've known each other for so long."

In the past few days, soldiers from the guards always deserted outside the city, but He Huchen, the commander in chief of Ningxia, didn't care.

What he was thinking about was the business with He Jinzhao.

Outside the city, the Ming army tried to catch fish, while the rebels inside the city were actively training to find a way out.

Finally, in anticipation day and night, He Huchen's first shipment of goods was delivered outside Ganquan County.

But to He Huchen's surprise, he met someone from Ningyang Hou's family on the way, which really surprised him.

It turned out that He Jinzhao really didn't just do business with himself, how much did he pay to hook up with Ningyanghou?

He Jinzhao stood on the city wall and looked around. The horses and horses outside the city were like dragons, and he felt a little sad for a while.
