Chapter 1313 Caravan (2)

With the help of so many experts, and in the quarrel of these experts, the best four hundred horses brought by Feimu Qimeng were selected.

The young leader hesitated and said to the old leader: "All the good horses we brought have been taken away, and there are still so many of them. The remaining horses cannot satisfy the later business group."

The middle-aged man stamped his feet: "I didn't expect such a brigade to have so much money, and the second lieutenant in charge of logistics was so bold. I thought he would buy about a hundred horses at most, but I didn't expect it to be four hundred! It's a third of the time."

The old man said with a smile, "He is the biggest here, what dares?" Pointing to the leader of the youth, "Take people to the nearest herding flag immediately, and borrow horses from them. The more the better, go and return quickly." , I should be able to come back in four days, and there are still three days left in the market."

"Yes." The youth leader didn't say much, and led the people away.

If someone hears that the most important supplies on the grassland can be borrowed at will, I believe they will be deeply suspicious of the statement that the Feimu Banner League is a mess.

The next day, two domestic merchant groups came, one with more than 500 carriages, and the other with more than [-] carriages. The strange thing is that the manpower brought by both of them is quite equal, each with more than [-] people .

The guards, who did not relax their vigilance, reported to Zhao Hu after inspection that the [-] vehicles were transporting food, the [-] vehicles were transporting weapons, and there was no other cargo.

Hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help muttering to himself: "Is there an agreement between them?"

And then when they asked to hold a six-day market, Zhao Hu immediately confirmed that there was a close relationship between these business groups.

Of the two business groups, the one with weapons gave Zhao Hu ten beautifully crafted machetes that were better than military knives, and the one with food gave Zhao Hu a hundred bags of fine grains.

Zhou Wen, who had been staying by Zhao Hu's side all the time, immediately touched Zhao Hu lightly, and Zhao Hu knew that he had to follow the plan.

Seeing Zhao Hu groaning and not speaking, the two shrewd heads of the business group couldn't help but glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then the weapon seller took the lead. I saw this slender guy, bowed his hands and asked Said: "I don't know why the chief is in trouble? Let's not talk about letting the two of you share the worries of the chief. Maybe there is a solution? The friendship between the two of you is quite extensive, and even the head of the division in the provincial capital can make friends."

Hearing this, Zhou Wen frowned immediately, and glared at them fiercely.

It's disgusting that these two guys actually threatened their chief!

But Zhou Wen didn't expect him to frown and stare, which made the two bosses swallow their saliva immediately, then looked at Zhao Hu with weird eyes, and then glanced at each other.

Didn't expect this second lieutenant to be so bold that he would bring a maid with him dressed as a man?Damn, the door must be wider than yourself!Looks like he's going to be slaughtered!
In the end, there was a bitter and helpless look in his eyes.

Zhao Hu didn't care about the threat in the businessman's words, instead he frowned and said, "Well, to be honest, I used all the funds of my brigade to buy four hundred war horses from the Feimu Banner League. Now I'm short of food, Weapons, and the supply supplies of the regiment have only been allocated not long ago, so I am too embarrassed to ask for it from above, so I want to exchange two hundred horses with you for some food and weapons. "

These words were told to Zhao Hu by Zhou Wen and Diou after careful measurement. They were both truthful and threatening. The business group should obey.

The threat that the leader of the business group said just now was just talk, because it is a rule that has been formed for hundreds of years to benefit the leader of the local garrison.

If you want to use your power to open the market without giving any benefits, it is absolutely impossible. Even if the big nobles come forward to find His Excellency the Marshal, His Excellency the Marshal will not agree.Because as long as the officers who climbed from the bottom to the top have experienced such benefits, no officer will break this custom.

Of course, if the conditions are too high, either the two parties will continue to negotiate acceptable conditions, or the business group will leave. There is no third way.

Once, a business group was dissatisfied with a certain garrison leader for being too greedy, and used his connections to get him away. As a result, all the garrison leaders rejected the business group, and the senior official who took him away was questioned and quickly stepped down.

Of course, the leaders of the garrison are not stupid. They understand the relationship between the chicken and the egg, and they will not open their mouths like a lion.

With this custom, the leader of the business group immediately quoted the price after thinking about it. The weapon sold was one horse for five knives, which was guaranteed to be better than the military system.The grain seller is a war horse for fifty bags of general grain, to ensure that there is no moldy rice.Of course, each exchanged a hundred horses.

After receiving this answer, Diou immediately calculated that the price of an inland horse would be enough to buy so many things, and hurriedly nodded to Zhao Hu, and Zhao Hu quickly agreed to their request.

Zhao Hu originally thought that after three business groups came, there would be no other business groups, but he didn't expect that two more business groups would come after the two business groups.

The former one was a business group with only fifty carriages. You don't need to look at this business group, just by smelling the fragrance and hearing the sweet voice, you can know that it is a business group with brothels and casinos.

The latter one is a business group with a huge number of carriages, more than [-]!

Zhao Hu, who got the news, was dumbfounded by the total number of carriages arriving at the merchant group in Kulong Town.

How many people are there in total in my brigade?Six hundred people!Now there are thousands of carriages gathered here!It looks like there are two carriages for one person, do they think that each of these soldiers has a thousand gold coins to spend?Are you afraid that you won't even be able to earn travel expenses?

After being shocked, Zhao Hu realized that the business group with the largest number of carriages was the chef group, with a large amount of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs and other live poultry, as well as a large number of fresh vegetables pulled by open carriages. There are also hundreds of altars of fine wine, not to mention complete sets of kitchen tools and tableware.

Therefore, although the number of carriages of the chef business group is huge, in terms of the value of the goods, it is less than half of that of the weapons business group with only [-] carriages.

First, the brothel business group met with Zhao Hu. The leader who originally wanted to give away a beautiful woman changed his mind immediately after seeing Zhou Wen's appearance and gave him a hundred gold coins.

Zhao Hu didn't have any demands on the business group, he just took the money and nodded in agreement.

The chef business group didn't present anything to Zhao Hu, but just cooked a meal for Zhao Hu on the spot.

After eating, without further ado, Zhao Hu agreed to their request to light a fire and cook here for six days.

Zhao Hu didn't notice that Zhou Wen, who was enjoying the hospitality of the chef business group, had already brightened his eyes when he saw the kitchen utensils.

The brothel business group and the chef business group are the last batch of business groups in this fair. The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately spent their military pay on such happy things as food, wine, beauties, and gambling.

As for the food and weapons, after exchanging goods with Zhao Hu, the two business groups immediately approached the Feimu Banner League to discuss the exchange.

Zhao Hu didn't know about the transaction between them. He only knew that when the market was about to end in three days, the young leader brought thousands of horses. These horses were even better than Zhao Hu's choice. The plain and steady middle-aged man cursed loudly.

The Feimu Banner League is extremely cunning!

Zhao Hu walked around the market for a while, and he found that the sites of the brothel merchant group and chef merchant group were the most popular. Needless to say, soldiers, members of other merchant groups also gathered here, even those who had disappeared long ago. Many town residents also ran back.

And Zhao Hu also found out what the five personal guards who had completely disappeared in the past few days were doing.

Locke and Luo Fei stayed in the Feimu Banner League Merchant Group to wrestle with others and learn to ride horses. Dio stayed in the Grain Merchant Group and Arms Merchant Group, trying to find ways to make money, while Sun Jie was in the casino and tavern The brothel wandered around, and soon became friends with those soldiers. As for Zhou Wen, a guy who was becoming more and more feminine, he helped those chefs in the chef business group.

Knowing that they are all strengthening what he is good at, Zhao Hu couldn't help being very satisfied with his five personal guards, and even thought of continuing to recruit official slaves as personal guards after his military rank was promoted in the future and the number of personal guards increased.

The day before the rally ended, Zhou Wen suddenly came back with a set of kitchen utensils. Zhao Hu, who didn't know what was going on, set up a table of delicious food when he was preparing to eat.

After taking a bite, Zhao Hu couldn't help but said in amazement: "What you made? It's even better than what those chefs made a few days ago. You surpassed them in just a few days. You are really amazing!"

Zhou Wen, who was looking at Zhao Hu nervously, immediately looked happy and excited.

Zhao Hu didn't pay attention to Zhou Wen's attractive appearance, instead he was thinking about the problem while eating, and when he was about to finish eating, Zhao Hu suddenly slammed the table, stood up and shouted, "That's it! Zhou Wen, get the leader of the chef business group, I want to make a deal with them."

Zhou Wen, who was startled at first, immediately stabilized his mood, turned around and left without asking any more questions.

After a while, a fat uncle with a greasy face and a smile came in.

"I don't know how much of your materials will be left when the meeting is over?" Zhao Hu asked suddenly without beginning or end.

"I brought too much this time, and now there is only one day left, and there will definitely be a lot left." The head of the chef business group frowned and said this, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Sir, do you want to buy the leftovers?" Is there any material? If yes, we can send you all the remaining condiments, and also send you a few sets of kitchen utensils."

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "That's right, I want all the materials, condiments, kitchen utensils, and tableware left after your market is over."
