The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1026 Insult from the businessman

The next day, under the leadership of Chang Le, the five hundred soldiers who originally lived in the school field in the west of the city opened up a camp on the side of the Minzhou military camp.It took all the tents and equipment he brought to settle down and take care of them, but it took a morning. In the afternoon, Chang Le brought the five hundred soldiers into the barracks, and Qin Huaiyu was with him.

Qin Huaiyu just heard that Xuan Shijing trained a team of soldiers in Dongshan County, but he had never seen the appearance of this team. When he saw it today, he was shocked. How big is such a team? , so that he can always carry it without taking it back.

Obviously, during the three years in Dongshan County, these five hundred government soldiers have been honed into sharp knives. The only thing that is lacking is the baptism of the enemy's blood.

The process of familiarizing the five hundred soldiers with the [-] Minzhou army was only one afternoon, and in one afternoon, Chang Le dispatched them. One mansion soldier led sixty Minzhou troops for training.

Minzhou is mountainous, so jungles and trees are indispensable. Chang Le feels that training here is much better than Dongshan County in terms of innate conditions. As for military food and food, that is something that my Marquis should worry about.

The equipment used in the training was naturally made by the Minzhou army who went to the mountains to cut down trees and transported them back. When the things were made, the Minzhou army looked at them stupidly, but they didn't know how to use them, let alone know that these things were being used after receiving them. It will be their nightmare for a while.

If the Minzhou army trains like the soldiers of Dongshan County, it will cost a lot of money. Apart from the army itself going to the mountains and forests to gather some food, the supply from the government office is also indispensable. Since it is necessary to supply, That must cost money, but fortunately, there is enough grain stored in the granary of the Minzhou city government to last for a period of time.

Xuan Shijing's requirements are not high, and it is enough to support 3 people for one month's training. After one month, Minzhou's army will confront Tuyuhun head-on. As long as it is handled properly, fighting is also very profitable.

As for the money, the team to transport the military pay from Chang'an has already set off, and the Shangzhou side will soon send back what Li Zhi took away. In this way, the Minzhou government office is only the military pay of the Minzhou army. , it is double, and it is enough to set aside one for training the army.

As for the money and food stored in the government treasury, after the war, everything will be there.

Qin Huaiyu and Chang Le lived in the barracks, and Qin Huaiyu also wanted to see how Chang Le trained these lazy Minzhou sergeants.

Among the government offices in Minzhou, only Xuan Shijing, Qin Bingyue, and Gao Jun are left, plus the two small officials before, and the grass-roots team of the government office is only five people. Xuan Shijing could barely cope with the constant stream of things.

The caravan stationed in Minzhou immediately packed up and went to Tuyuhun after receiving Xuan Shijing's order, and then the news of Tuyuhun would continue to spread to Minzhou.

In the hall, Xuan Shijing sat upright behind the desk, looking at several merchants below.

These merchants were informed by Xuan Shijing to Gao Jun, and they are relatively large merchants in Minzhou. They have been doing overseas business all year round, and they also have contacts with Tuyuhun.

Xuan Shijing summoned them here today also for military training.

"Today I summoned all of you to the government office of Minzhou. When I wanted to come to Gao Jun to find you, I already told you the reasons for some things. Now I want to hear what you think." Xuan Shijing looked down. people said.

One of the merchants looked at his companion standing beside him, pondered for a while, and then cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, as merchants in Minzhou, we should benefit the people of Minzhou. If Tuyuhun invades, we should do the same." Work together to resist foreign enemies. However, as winter is approaching, there are still many foreign accounts that have not been recovered outside. I really don't have much money in my hand. However, in order to show my support for Lord Hou's administration in Minzhou, I would like to go back Afterwards, five hundred catties of pork meat were purchased and sent to the camp to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds to defend Minzhou."

Apparently these businessmen didn't want to spend money and efforts for no reason. As for the five hundred catties of pork meat, it was just a matter of a few pennies, and it wouldn't be too obvious to slap the Hou Ye in the face.

"The rest of you, do you mean this too?" Xuan Shijing's eyes fell on the others.

"this."

Some people were undecided, but after feeling sorry for the money in their pockets, they all expressed that they would pay for some meat and send it to the army.

A group of masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

"This Marquis might as well tell you the truth, there will be a battle between Minzhou and Tuyuhun, and the scale of this battle will not be small." Xuan Shijing said.

What can Xuan Shijing do to gain benefits from small fights? Naturally, the more cheerful the fight, the more miserable the Tuyuhun fight, the more lucrative there will be.

The businessmen standing below didn't know what Xuan Shijing meant by saying this to them.

"For this Marquis, fighting a war is something that can make a fortune. Ben Hou originally thought that everyone would earn money together. Since the few of you don't plan to join forces, then this Marquis will not force it. Tall, see off the guests." Xuan Shi Jing said to Gao Jun.

"Yes." Gao Jun replied, and then turned to look at the businessmen in the hall: "Several, please."

The businessmen looked at each other, they were confused by Xuan Shijing's words, although they heard the word "facai", they couldn't figure out what this Lord Hou meant.

"Master Hou, please make it clear." One of the merchants was unwilling to leave, and asked with his hands clasped.

He had heard of Xuan Shijing's name before, and he didn't know much about the Lord Hou himself, but he knew that the Lord Hou was behind the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.

Today's Prosperous Tang Chamber of Commerce is the leading Chamber of Commerce in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Benhou can only say that the Chamber of Commerce under my name has already set off for Tuyuhun. As for what to do, it is inconvenient for me to talk to you all. Everyone, please go back." Xuan Shijing said coldly.

For these businessmen, Xuan Shijing had no good impression of them from the time they mentioned five hundred catties of pork meat.

No matter how poor the government office in Minzhou is, there is no shortage of more than ten pennies from the few of them. Is it for beggars?What's more, the Minzhou army risked their lives to fight Tuyuhun, who was defending?Aren't the biggest beneficiaries still these businessmen?

Since they were given the opportunity to humiliate Xuan Shijing in turn, there was no need for them to participate in this matter.

Xuan Shijing waved his hand, signaling Gao Jun to see off the guests.

If Gao Jun hadn't used his own name, he probably wouldn't have been able to invite these people.
