Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 331 Trade
Just when Qin Mu didn't know what to do, a servant came in suddenly and announced that Wang Jian and Li Si had come together.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up, he was worried, these two immediately came over to give him a chance to escape.Sure enough, he is a good man!
"Father, your two friends, Lao Li and Lao Wang are here." Qin Mu said, stood up at the speed of light, and brought the two of them into the study.

Just as soon as they entered the door, Lao Wang and Lao Li were obviously a little surprised. They didn't expect that Zu Long was here!Subconsciously, Lao Wang and Lao Li seemed to be saluting, but Zu Long coughed lightly, which stopped them in time and bowed deeply.

Zulong returned the salute, and the four of them sat down around the table.

Zu Long laughed: "Old Wang, Lao Li, you came at a good time. I am discussing with Mu'er how to fight the Xiongnu!"

"Oh?" The two people are obviously very interested. They came here today just to see how the preparations are going here: "How should we fight?"

"In short, the conclusion is that no matter how much the price is paid, the Huns must be defeated once and for all! From then on, let the grassland be incorporated into the territory of the Great Qin!" Zu Long smiled and was in a good mood: "Don't worry about the specifics. With Mu'er around, it's worth [-] soldiers! Anyway, if you know you have to fight, and you have to fight hard!"

Li Si looked at Wang Jian with a smile on his face.Wang Jian was a little depressed.What Zu Long said, it seems that Qin Mu's art of war is better than him!To be honest, Wang Jian could not keep up with Qin Mu even if he flattered himself, but when it comes to fighting, it is different!Anyway, he is the leader of today's military strategist, and he still carries the token with him, but Zulong told him not to worry about fighting!Can you not be depressed!

Qin Mu smiled: "Actually, we didn't discuss anything. It's just finalized that the Huns will be beaten. The specific tactics must be the responsibility of the leading generals. We just decided to bring the Huns into the territory." .”

Only then did Wang Jian heave a sigh of relief.However, I heard Zu Long ask immediately: "Let's not talk about wars. With cannons and hot air balloons, we won't lose. The question is, how should we proceed with the deal with the Huns?"

"Trading with the Huns?" Li Si asked strangely: "Brother Zhao, you also know that those Huns don't have any credibility at all, and they often come up with money. Why do you want to trade with them?"

Qin Mu explained: "After the war, the Huns are also the people of Daqin. What's more, they came out to plunder before because there was no food. If they don't give them food later, the border will definitely be chaotic again. I What is considered is to exchange food for their horses and furs."

Li Si was slightly surprised: "This trick is wonderful! It can not only weaken the Huns, but also strengthen the cavalry of the Great Qin... If so, this deal can solve the scourge of the Huns without bloodshed, but we should find a way to proceed."

Li Si frowned and thought for a while, then asked tentatively: "In that case, let's open the deal and let those merchants go among the Huns..."

After a while, he shook his head and vetoed it himself: "The merchants value profits, and the journey is far away. The goods they carry must be sold at sky-high prices. But this is grain. If the Huns still cannot afford grain, they will not have enough to eat. If not... it will return to the previous situation, and merchants can't use it..."

Seeing Lao Li thinking hard, Zu Long was also a little speechless. He knew that these people were unreliable, so he turned his attention to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked at Zulong and then at himself, also very helpless, and he didn't think of what to do for the time being.In fact, the general method is better to use merchants.But the key point is that what Li Si said makes sense, businessmen value profits!What are they selling?It's food!These things, for the Huns, had to be bought!

Once merchants discover this situation, the price of food will soon be raised to sky-high prices.At that time, the Huns will not resent the merchants, but will only blame Daqin for exploiting them. If they are not careful, they will stir up civil uprisings.

But if there is no need for merchants... what should we do?Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he really thought of a way!
"Ahem, father, in fact, we don't need to sell food on the grassland at all!" Qin Mu cleared his throat: "You think, the Huns must be more eager for food than we are. We don't need to send it, let us They come and get it themselves!"

"They take it by themselves? However, a large number of Huns poured into the border, won't this... cause some confusion?" Li Si hesitated, and put forward his own opinion.He didn't deliberately oppose Qin Mu, on the contrary, this matter was very important to him.He can't help it, Qin Mu has it, and it's too late for him to be happy.It's just... the entry of the Huns, no matter who he is, most of them can't accept it.

After watching Li Si's performance, Qin Mu knew that he had misunderstood, and explained: "It's not that the Huns are allowed to enter the customs freely... Actually, the Huns originally had tribes as their basic structure, and in the future they only need to let their leaders enter the customs with tribes as units. Pay tribute to Xianyang, and then take away enough food. After returning, they will definitely distribute it by themselves..."

Zu Long and Wang Jian nodded at the same time.In this way, the leaders of the various tribes of the Huns came to Xianyang at least once a year, and the possibility of rebellion was much smaller.It's easy to deal with anything.Moreover, the tribal leader led the team, so he was not afraid of those evil people committing crimes on the road.

However, Li Si still had some doubts: "But... In this way, the food that each tribe can get depends on the tribe leader? What if they buy food and don't distribute it to the people below? Or, Buy food, store it yourself, and use it as your own squandering capital in the future?"

"It's easy to solve. First, we can set a minimum transaction amount based on the number of people in each tribe. At least people can't starve to death. If you buy more, you can also get some discounts." Qin Mu said slowly: "In addition, we What was sold to the Huns was not the grains that were easy to store, but sweet potatoes and potatoes."

"If they really want to hoard, then I'm sorry, these things will all rot in next spring! So, if he doesn't distribute them to the people, he will have to rot in his own hands!"

"Okay!" Li Si had no doubts.Qin Mu's method is also considered a good method.It can guarantee the survival of the Huns and the benefits of Daqin.Moreover, this mode of tribute can also make the tribal leaders of the various Huns spend a lot of time on the road every year, even if they want to rebel... there is no time to prepare!
