I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103, Reversing Black and White

In Mayi, Xu Wei is responsible for planning the development direction and system of Mayi, but he is very impatient with the daily chores in Mayi, and rarely handles them. Most of them are handed over to the old man Wang.

If Mayi is regarded as a country, then the old man Wang is the prime minister. With his assistance, Xu Weiya will not make many common-sense mistakes!

Just like the pricing of the woolen cloth this time, Xu Wei felt that he could earn more than twice as much, but the old man Wang knew the price of a big man. Good linen cost 2 yuan, while silk cost 600-2000 yuan. Their woolen cloth was more expensive than Is silk bad?If you set thousands of dollars, you will be snapped up by businessmen who come to Mayi!
Sure enough, the old man Wang knew the price of the big man better than Xu Wei. Even if the price of woolen cloth doubled, Hu merchants' attitude towards woolen cloth would be crazy!
"Qu Shuai, I still have 300 sheep, 100 cows, and 100 horses in the tribe. Qu Shuai can leave me 1000 pieces of cloth. When I bring these cows and horses over, I will trade them for your cloth! I know that this will bring difficulties to Lei Gong and Qu Shuai, so I am willing to order these fabrics at a price of 1100 yuan per piece." A Hun named Liu Xiong approached Xu Wei and pleaded.

Liu Xiong had no choice. Lei Gong's fabrics were so good and the price was too low. He was worried that if he left like this, he wouldn't even get a single piece of wool, so he had to find Xu Wei and place an order in advance.

Xu Wei was dumbfounded when he heard that, the price has even increased.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found that this Liu Xiong was such a local tyrant, he agreed wholeheartedly: "All of you are my Lei Gong's friends here, you have asked for this, I will definitely save 1000 pieces of cloth for you!"

"Lei Gong Qu Shuai, there are thousands of sheep in my tribe, and I will pay 600 yuan for each sheep, and you will also leave me 1000 pieces of cloth!"

"Lei Gong, Qu Shuai, I can get 300 cows. Isn't Qu Shuai here to open up wasteland? There must be cattle, and the price is negotiable!"

"Shuai Qu, I can get 400 horses, all of which are good horses. Shuai Qu is not going to form a cavalry, and horses must be indispensable. I just ask Shuai Qu to help me save 2000 pieces of fabric!"

These Hu merchants begged Xu Wei to help them keep the fabric one by one, for fear that others would preempt them.
Xu Hao looked at the Hu merchants surrounding him, and promised them one by one: "Okay, I will definitely save the fabric for you, but you all come here quickly, otherwise I can't wait for you all the time, such a month , if the animals you mentioned were not brought to Mayi, you can’t blame me for selling these fabrics.”

Hearing this, these Hushang quickly spent all the money on their bodies, bought the fabrics, and left with their caravan.

However, Mayi produced a fabric comparable to silk and quickly spread around the world. Anyone who has seen woolen cloth praised it as a superior fabric.

And the low price of 1000 Wen caused a sensation around Mayi!This is not selling silk as linen. Lei Gong of Mayi is simply a fool.

The merchants who had seen the woolen cloth and heard the price were all very excited, and immediately took their buddies to Mayi!For a time, there were more businessmen in Mayi.

And just when the textile mill's production capacity exploded and the wool cloth became famous in northern Xinjiang, Xu Wei's old friend Zhen An came to Mayi again.

And he did not disappoint Xu Wei, he really brought a lot of food.

Before the grain was unloaded, he found Xu Wei and said, "Shuai Qu, the old man has fulfilled his mission. 10 shi of grain is already in the remote warehouse. This time, the old man brought 1 shi of grain first, and the rest of the grain can be delivered within 10 days." All transport routes in Mayi County"

Xu Wei was shocked. Zhen An's caravan had thousands of horse-drawn carriages. With such a huge caravan, Xu Wei could only lament that Zhen's family deserved to be the richest businessman in Jizhou!

Xu Wei asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, you have such a large caravan passing through Yanmen Pass, and the guards of Yanmen Pass did not stop you from leaving the pass. This is not a little grain, but tens of thousands of grains!"

Zhen An said with a smile: "Shuai Qu didn't hear clearly, the old man said that the place where the food is placed is at the remote gate!"

Xu Wei really didn't know where this closed.

Zhen An didn't let Xu Wei guess, but directly explained the answer: "Pianguan is in Xihe County, not more than a hundred miles away from Wuzhou occupied by Shuai Qu."

Xu Wei was surprised and said, "You are from the territory of the Huns, so you are not afraid that the food will be robbed by the Huns?"

This Zhen An is really bold, actually passing directly through the territory of the Huns!

Zhen An said with a smile: "It's not considered to have crossed the territory of the Huns. We first went retrograde on the Yellow River, otherwise the 10 shi of grain would not have come to Pianguan so quickly!"

"But the Huns didn't dare to move the goods of my Zhen family. The owner bought Shanyu Qiangqu from the Huns and asked him to write to the court saying that he wanted to buy 10 shi of grain to solve the food crisis of the Huns. Last year, he encircled Qushuai and lost 4 There were more than [-] horses, but at that time the imperial court went to the treasury to be empty, and they couldn't even get out the relief items. Qiang Qu didn't say anything. Now Qiang Qu only said that he would buy some grain to tide over the crisis, and the imperial court is not good. Such a loyal minister's heart , naturally agreed."

Xu Wei said with a playful smile: "The 4 Ma Ke who surrounded and suppressed me last year were all horse thieves, and they had nothing to do with Qiang Qu. Didn't the court know about this news?"

Although Zhen An didn't know what half a dime meant, he could still hear the general meaning of Xu Wei's words.

He laughed and said: "Of course the people below know about it, but few of them will report it to the imperial court. This kind of thing has always been kept secret, and the soldiers of Bingzhou will not ask for trouble to tell the truth. They They were also afraid that the imperial court would order them to attack Qu Shuaiyou. To prevent such a situation, they naturally didn't dare to talk too much.

Moreover, the 4 horse thieves were also created by Qiang Qu himself. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were his men, and they did fight Qu Shuai and were wiped out by Qu Shuai. "

Xu Wei continued to ask him: "The shopkeeper obviously couldn't hide the fact that so much grain was transported to Mayi. You are not afraid that someone will report it to the court and bring disaster to your Zhen family!"

Zhen An smiled and said: "Our Zhen family helps the Huns to transport grain. This is an order from the court. Our master is doing his best for the country. As for why the 10 shi of grain appeared in Mayi, it is none of our business." It's about the Zhen family. If you want to ask, you have to ask why the food given to them by the Huns ended up in Qu Shuai's hands!"

"And even if the court knew about it, they wouldn't ask too much. The Huns have been loyal to the court these years. When they fought against the Xianbei a few years ago, the Huns dispatched 4 cavalry, and these people were basically wiped out. , even a Shanyu died on the grassland, and then lost [-] troops under the order of the court. Such loyal subjects, how could the court pursue them for these trivial matters? This is not chilling the hearts of loyal officials! "
