Chapter 84 Jingping Exchange
Jingping Village, Zhonglie Hall.

In the Book Pavilion.

"Brother Tan, what's the current situation in Runan?" Mu Jing sat cross-legged on the grand teacher's chair, looked at Tan Zong standing in front of him, and asked.

Three days ago, Mu Shan had already led his troops to the expedition.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads. At present, Mushan is based in Wuyin under the name of Zhang Chuan, and is controlled by the Wancheng prefect's mansion. Lay it out.

According to his memory, although the Runan Yellow Turbans had made a lot of troubles in history, they were actually not successful.

But that is for the whole world.

In terms of local battles, the Runan Yellow Turbans actually had some strength. In history, the imperial court also sent one of the eight captains of Xiyuan to lead troops to conquer, but they all returned without success. It is conceivable that this part of the Yellow Turbans The army is still very tough.

In Runan itself, there are three great Yellow Turban commanders, and Liu Pi, the capital of Gong, is the most powerful. They each have at least 10,000 to [-] soldiers and horses. If you add some old and weak women and children who are bluffing, they will each pull [-]+ Come is no problem.

Even Huang Shao, who is a little weaker, has more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command. In addition, in the northern part of Runan, at the border with Yingchuan, there are tens of thousands of troops commanded by Qu Commander He Yi and the He Man brothers.

The four Yellow Turban soldiers and horses may add up to hundreds of thousands. It is difficult to say that it is difficult to take down the entire Yuzhou, but it is enough to turn Runan upside down.

His father, Mushan, now only has three thousand troops, and Nanyang sends troops at most twenty to thirty thousand. The most important thing is that the internal stability of the Nanyang army is unstable. There are as many people in Nanyang who want Mushan to die. If there is a fight, Mujing is in his heart Still very worried.

"Reporting to the young master, the situation in Nanyang has completely deteriorated now, but we don't have much substantive news. After all, we are still not familiar with Runan, and we don't have much eyeliner. We can only learn from some caravans traveling north and south Find out a thing or two!"

Tan Zong said in a deep voice: "According to the news we know so far, Gong Du and Liu Pi gathered troops and horses to occupy the land of Gepo as the main camp, with Shangcai County as the foundation, against the soldiers of Runan County in Pingyu County, and Ru'nan County soldiers Southern Grand Administrator Yuan Yin has amassed a total of [-] elite soldiers, stationed in Pingyu City, blocking the Yellow Turban Army's eastward advance, but the northern part of Runan is also occupied by Huang Shao and He Yi's main forces. I heard that Yingchuan County last month The soldiers marched south, were ambushed by Huang Shao's troops, returned in a complete defeat, and withdrew from Runan!"

"The Yingchuan army was defeated?"

"Ok!"

"They are so indiscriminate, but the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is beyond our imagination!" Mu Jing frowned: "It seems that this Yellow Turban Army is not easy to fight!"

"Ge Po?"

Mu Jing unfolded a cowhide map. The military drawings of this era are very rough, but they can still roughly describe the topography. The location of Gepo is outside the city of Shangcai County. This is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This time the Yellow Turban uprising, many people called this Yellow Turban Army the Gepo Yellow Turbans because they revolted from Gepo.

"Brother Tan, you send out some spies to keep an eye on the speed of father's soldiers and horses moving in the direction of the march. If there is any situation, report it immediately, and don't neglect it!" Mu Jing took a deep breath, and said calmly and solemnly: "This battle is not good. Fight, I'm still worried about my father!"

"The big leader is brave and good at fighting, with three thousand elites under his command, the army is unstoppable, so there is no need to worry about the young leader!"

Tan Zong said comfortingly.

"Say it so!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "But we still have to be prepared. The most important thing is food and grass. Don't expect Wancheng to provide us with food and grass. They want us to lose the battle, so even if they agree to provide it, they must procrastinate secretly. , so we have to form our own grain path!"

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

He didn't want Mushan to be defeated in Runan because of the problem of food and grass.

"Our food is sufficient, the problem is to transport food!"

"Uncle Zhao Ping wants to sit in Wuyin, and they will definitely not be able to leave. Wuyin is our rear area and must not be messed up, so the matter of escorting food and grass must fall on Uncle Zhang Gu!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "But Zhang Gu Uncle Gu is currently in Jingping Village. Jingping Village is our old nest, and there are our relatives here. Once collapsed, the soldiers in front will inevitably lose their morale. If he walks away, there will be no guarantee that there will be a second time. Jingping battle, so he can't go away, it seems that I am the only one who will go out personally!"

"Young Master, the Great Master has strictly ordered you not to appear on the battlefield!" Tan Zong said hastily.

Mujing entangled Mushan for several days, but Mushan didn't let go.

In the end, when Mu Shan went to the battle, he was told that Mu Jing could not go to the battlefield, and he felt sorry for the parents of the world. As a father, Mu Shan naturally didn't want to let the 13-year-old go to the cruel battlefield.

But Mu Jing knew that there was not much time left for himself to adapt, and the world would be in chaos. He had to adapt to the cruel battlefield in order to survive in the future.

"I'm just supervising the transportation of food and grass. I'm in the rear, not on the front line. Father shouldn't care about it!" Mu Jing made up his mind, and he directly ordered: "You tell Lei Hu to let him select twenty elite students from the Wubei Hall to prepare Come north with me!"

He doesn't need to worry about the people who transport grain, Zhang Gu will arrange it, but the students of Wu Beitang should also show their strength. This time, he selected twenty elite students to go north to observe the battlefield together. Raise excellent officers.

"promise!"

The majesty of Mujing became more and more prosperous, so Tan Zong could only accept his orders and leave.

********
The next day.

Jingping Firm.

Before Mu Jing escorted the grain and grass northward, he had to stabilize the results of the battle and unify the Wuyin business world, so he started to get busy, spending all day in the business, first of all, reviewing some merchants who joined the business recently.

"The purpose of Jingping Trading Company is to unite all the forces that can be united. We are an alliance. Since we are an alliance, we must have different allies. Some of these merchants can be trusted, but some must be guarded!"

Mu Jing looked at Zhang Heng and said, "As the executive shopkeeper, you must have a steelyard in your heart. If you don't know, you will be chaotic, and if you are clear, you will be stable!"

"Yes!"

When Zhang Heng was reprimanded by Mu Jing, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if everything was taken for granted, and he didn't care that Mu Jing was just a 13-year-old boy.

"How much did we lose in the previous grain price battle?" Mu Jing asked.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Jingping Trading Company also suffered a lot of damage by lowering food prices, but this was all they did willingly. What they won this battle was not money, but an opportunity, an opportunity to stand up straight.

"In fact, there is not much loss!"

Zhang Hengdao: "After the price of grain collapsed, we started to repurchase. Currently, we have more than [-] shi of grain in Jingping's warehouse. Now the price of grain is starting to pick up. In addition, even if we fight the price, our damage will be far away from the Gong family. Under those merchants, we are leading after all!"

"Is there hard data?"

"About less than five hundred gold!"

"This is an acceptable result!"

Mu Jing showed a smile: "How about other prices!"

"After the collapse of food prices, many prices have been affected, but we have made great efforts to stabilize the current market prices, and there will be no chaos!"

Zhang Hengdao.

"Well done, this aspect must not be messed up!"

Mujing pondered for a long time, and said, "I do have a plan!"

"Speak, big shopkeeper!"

"I plan to open an exchange in the East Market!" Mu Jing stood up, looking at the bamboo outside the window, the thoughts in his heart became more and more hot.

"Exchange?" Zhang Heng didn't quite understand.

"The so-called exchange is to form a large trading place. Price is one of the most important conditions for trading. We can mark the price of the day on the exchange and hold the price in our hands. The price we are talking about is the The price of the transaction, what's more, we can exchange the information of the transaction on the exchange. For example, if a foreign caravan wants to buy something, as long as it hangs a plaque on the exchange, the exchange will mediate and find a seller for him. Some shops have something that needs to be sold urgently, and they can also be listed on the exchange..."

Mujing began to analyze eloquently. He used the current concept of finance and planned to build a financial center here.

Today, [-]% to [-]% of the merchants in Wuyin belong to Jingping Trading Company. With the current coverage of Jingping Trading Company in Wuyin, even the gentry can't stop it. There is absolutely no problem in establishing a trading center in Wuyin.

"Is there really someone who is born knowing in this world?"

The more Zhang Heng listened, the more fascinated he became.

He never knew that business could still be done like this.

With his business perspective, he can naturally see the extraordinaryness of this exchange. The geographical location of Wuyin is originally to connect the north and the south. Once this powerful exchange is established, Wuyin County will have caravans coming and going. In the center of Wuyin, Wuyin's economy will also take off.

This will be a milestone for merchants.

The way he looked at Mujing became more and more reverent. This 13-year-old boy had an aura that made him surrender.
