The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1037 Trading
So many people in the Tuyuhun army moved together and entered the border of Minzhou. If the border officials did not know, Xuan Shijing would not believe it. Now that they know, then come over and clean up the funeral for their people.

"Have you packed up all the booty you brought back that day?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, it has been cleared out, except for the weapons, the rest are some tattered armors." Gao Jun responded.

"When you go to deliver the letter, tell the government over there that the Marquis has a batch of weapons and armor here, and ask them if they want it." Xuan Shijing laughed and said, "We in Tang Dynasty don't like the rags of the Tuyuhun people."

What Xuan Shijing said is not nonsense. The standard equipment in the Datang army today is not comparable to these barbarians. The sophisticated weapons of the Tang Dynasty far surpass those barbarians. In the eyes of the sergeants, they are nothing more than broken copper and iron, weapons and equipment that have been eliminated in the Central Plains long ago.

"Master Hou wants to resell military funds? This is a serious crime, if the court ministers know about it."

Xuan Shijing waved his hand and interrupted Gao Jun's words: "It's just reselling the things of the Tuyuhun people to them, military funds? This is not the military funds of the Tang Dynasty, but the spoils of the soldiers. We have the right to decide How to deal with it, if someone in the court gossips, then let him pay for the military expenses of the entire Minzhou, as for negotiating the price with us." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Let's leave it to the county magistrate of Minzhou Do, he is more experienced."

The county magistrate of Minzhou is now an old man, and he will definitely not make it easier for the Tuyuhun people.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Gao Jun replied.

Xuan Shijing's handwriting was sent to Tuyuhun by Gao Jun, and the next day, Tuyuhun photographed the envoy, saying that he wanted to see Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing asked someone to lead the envoy to Minzhou City directly.

The place where the army is stationed is a secret, and there is no room for people from Tuyuhun to investigate. If they know the location of the army camp, how can they blackmail them in the future?

Qin Bingyue returned to Minzhou City with Xuan Shijing's intentions. She needed to go with the county magistrate to meet the envoy of Tuyuhun, and act according to Xuan Shijing's wishes.

As for Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan hadn't come back yet, so Xuan Shijing naturally couldn't get news from Tuyuhun Palace.

"Report~~~" The scout ran into Xuan Shijing's tent from outside: "Report to Lord Hou, an urgent letter from General Qin."

"Present it." Xuan Shijing said.

After receiving the letter from the scout and checking the wax, Xuan Shijing opened the letter.

It turned out that another Tuyuhun army moved the main road to enter Minzhou yesterday, but was intercepted by Qin Huaiyu's troops, but the result was not as gratifying as Xuan Shijing's side.

Qin Huaiyu was facing a large army from Tuyuhun, the number of which had reached 2000. It is estimated that he did not get the news of the previous [-] people. Tuyuhun was a bit impatient, so he simply changed his way to Minzhou.

"Take a message to General Qin quickly. When cleaning the battlefield, except for the enemy's corpse, as long as it can be taken away, all can be taken back to the camp, and the rest will be handed over to us." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The scout went away in response.

Now all these things on Tugu's body are all money.

Up to now, a team of 7000 people has been planted on the border of Minzhou. The loss of personnel and military resources is a large sum for Tuyuhun. Mineral resources in Shangtuyuhun are scarce, so iron weapons are more important to them. Xuan Shijing is not afraid that they will not pay to redeem these things in their hands. If they do not pay, then Xuan Shijing Although all these weapons can be remelted and handed over to the Ministry of War, in exchange for a certain amount of money and food from the Ministry of War, Xuan Shijing still has a relationship with the Ministry of War.

In doing so, even His Majesty Li Er would not say anything, and Xuan Shijing is not greedy for himself, but for the welfare of the soldiers in the army.

Tuyuhun has no food, and maybe not much money, but it can be paid for with other things, such as cattle, sheep, gold, silver and jade in the treasury. .

But Tuyuhun is also unlucky. There is such a huge Tang Dynasty in the east, and there is Tubo in the west. sad.

But who made him encounter such a stubborn stubble like Xuan Shijing.

The envoys of the Tuyuhun government stayed in Minzhou for a day and then went back. Two days later, there were more people from Tuyuhun on the border, but these people were unarmed civilians who were called by the government to deal with the people who were thrown away. There are dead bodies.

Xuan Shijing didn't stop him either, but let Gao Jun lead some people to watch in the dark and don't let them make any small moves.

As for the results of the discussion between the envoy and the county magistrate, the Tuyuhun side, the government can send a batch of money to buy back part of the military funds first. It is definitely impossible for the government to pay so much money at once, so it cannot demand.

How much money you have and how many things you take are Xuan Shijing’s principles. Since you have no money, it’s not too late to redeem the rest when you have money. There is no shortage of space in the army, just keep it for you Well, if Tuyuhun doesn't want the leftovers, it's okay, anyway, it's all iron, and if it's returned to the furnace, the army won't be able to pay for it.

Or how to say that reselling arms is the best way to make a fortune. This battle not only fought back the Tuyuhun army, but also made a fortune for the Tuyuhun people with the equipment and military funds. It doesn’t matter if the government can’t afford it. Didn't Gao Yuan go to deliver letters to the people in Tuyuhun Palace?
It will take a day and a night to ride a fast horse from the military camp to Minzhou City. Since the two sides have already quarreled about the war, then the next step is to either retreat back honestly, or to fight hard and kill this time. Lost ones will be recovered next time.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the latter is more likely, otherwise how do you live in winter?
The transaction of military funds was completed in the open space on the border, Xuan Shijing took people there personally, seeing the expressions on the faces of the people in Tuyuhun when they spent money to buy back their own things, Xuan Shijing felt relieved for a while.

After counting but it was still hot, Xuan Shijing cupped his hands towards the other party, and said with a smile: "This Marquis is here to represent our soldiers, thank you for your country's generosity, in the future, this Marquis hopes to reduce this kind of business, everyone It’s fine, and it’s great.”

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, the entire face of the official in Tuyuhun was black, and he cupped his hands hastily towards Xuan Shijing, and then led people and pulled supplies towards the direction of Tuyuhun territory.
