Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 327 Xin Ping Visits
Xin Ping and his younger brother Xin Pi were one of the gentry that Yuan Shao poached from Yingchuan. Like Guo Tu, they were Yuan Tan's staunch supporters.

"I pay homage to the envoy Zhou, and I will send you a congratulatory gift on the order of my general Yuan Tan. Congratulations to the envoy on your joy." It turned out that Yuan Tan sent the gift because Zhou Cang had a son. After Xin Ping finished speaking, he presented the gift list. superior.

"Thank you, son." Zhou Cang said with a pleasant face, "Mr. Hard Work, how is your general?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, General Yuan Tan is fine. Since the opening of trade with Xuzhou, Qingzhou has gradually become prosperous, but the region is limited, otherwise it would be comparable to Jizhou."

Xin Ping's words are very knowledgeable. This is a roundabout way of saying that Donglai and Chengyang counties are still in Zhou Cang's hands.

Zhou Cang naturally wouldn't accept this. "Business and trade with Qingzhou, mutual benefit, good for both."

"I heard that the envoy of Zhou developed Jian'an paper again. After worshiping the emperor, the emperor was very happy, and Xin Ping congratulated the envoy again."

"Hehe, it's easy to say, easy to say." Zhou Cang squinted his eyes. This is the main purpose. Guo Tu and Xin Ping are two people who are capable, so they put their ideas on the Jian'an paper so quickly, which saves them trouble. This means that good products don't need to be advertised, and people will naturally come to your door.

"General Yuan intends to add Jian'an papers to the business between the two companies. I don't know what the envoy Zhou wants?" Sure enough, Xin Ping stated the purpose of this trip.

"Because the manufacturing is complicated, it takes a lot of manpower and time. Now the output of Jian'an paper is not much, and we need to supply Xuzhou and take care of Xudu. Although I am willing in every possible way, I can't do it." Zhou Cang changed the subject: "I don't know Qingzhou How do you want to trade and exchange?"

Xin Ping thought to himself, if it is true what Guo Tu said, Zhou Cang is not profitable, so he first talked about the difficulties, and then raised the conditions. Fortunately, he was prepared. "We are willing to buy it at [-]% higher than the market price. Is it possible?"

Zhou Cang shook his head and said: "Although I am short of money in Xuzhou, it is not bad. However, Donglai came to report the day before yesterday that the weather there was cold and the soldiers were miserable. Now that the severe winter is approaching, the army is short of winter clothes. I wonder if General Yuan can do it?" Help one or two?"

"It's easy." Xin Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhou Cang would open his mouth without a bottom line. Last time, he snatched up all the good horses that Yuan Tan had collected with great difficulty, causing Yuan Tan's heartache for a long time.At the end of October, after the first snowfall, it was cold day by day, Zhou Cang's request was very reasonable. "Is it possible to have [-] sets of winter clothes every year?"

Zhou Cang shook his head again: "Although there are many sets of ten thousand sets, they still need to be changed and washed. How about twenty thousand sets of winter clothes and bedding?"

Xin Ping took a deep breath: "[-] sets is really beyond the range that Qingzhou can bear, even [-] sets need to be raised by many parties..."

Zhou Cang's face darkened: "Sir, what you said is wrong. I don't want winter clothes for nothing. I exchanged my Jian'an paper for an equivalent value. If Qingzhou is not enough, you can buy it from other states. Why do you want to push back?"

Zhou Cang sighed again: "I know it's difficult for you sir. Anyway, if it wasn't for the lack of winter clothes for the soldiers, I wouldn't be in such a hurry. The first batch of [-] sets this year will be [-] sets each year after that. In addition, if your army buys them Old clothes can also be used to determine the number, but at most it cannot exceed [-]%."

Hearing what Zhou Cang said, Xin Ping couldn't say anything more. "Thank you for your understanding, envoy. I will reply to General Yuan Tan and hurry up to raise funds and try to deliver it to Donglai within a month." Xin Ping was secretly delighted. The inspection was not kind, and the unqualified winter clothes sent to Qingzhou happened to be available. use.

Zhou Cang was even happier, not to mention the winter clothes, but also Yuan Jun's armor, plus the weapons and utensils captured by Gan Ning, it was enough to confuse Gongsun Du in Liaodong.To be honest, winter clothes are really lacking, especially to resist the cold in Liaodong, which requires a lot of clothes.

Zhang Jiong and Su Yang have been actively stocking up, but Zhou Cang believes that a proper strategy and keeping up with supplies is equivalent to half of the victory, so he has always asked for more supplies, the better.Zhou Cang's mantra is: There is food at home, and there is no panic in the heart.With Zhou Cang leading by example, everyone in Xuzhou is a family tiger and a miser. Of course, they have also tasted the sweetness: that is, they have a strong waist and full confidence, and they are ready to respond to emergencies and launch wars at any time.

"Mutual benefit is not very good for Xuzhou and Qingzhou. I have always been very happy to cooperate with General Yuan Tan." Zhou Cang said again: "I disclosed the news to my husband in advance. I am developing pens, inks, and inkstones in Xuzhou, but now The output is still small, and it is estimated that the supply will be available by the end of the year."

Zhou Cang turned his head and said to Sun Da: "Take a set of the pen, ink and inkstone that Han Yue sent a few days ago. Give it to General Yuan Tan as a return gift."

Xin Ping held the return gift in his hand. The things were good things, but his heart was heavy. Xuzhou's new tricks were emerging one after another. What he took away from Qingzhou were food, horses and winter clothes. This was to let Yuan Tan bleed.After thinking about it, selling these things back to Jizhou will definitely make a lot of money.Even if it is given to the scholars in Jizhou, it is a great favor, which will definitely help Yuan Tan buy people's hearts and win over people.Improving Yuan Tan's reputation is the top priority, and everything else can be tolerated.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou. It is not too late. I will return to Qingzhou." Xin Ping hesitated and said: "I still have a merciless request. My master Yuan Shao is not in good health. I heard that the genius doctor Hua Tuo is in Xuzhou. Could you please help me? My lord's diagnosis and treatment?"

Zhou Cang's eyes rolled and he thought about it. "Hey, I can understand Mr. Hua Tuo's intentions. Although I want Mr. Hua Tuo to go, I can't agree to Mr. Hua Tuo."

"Why is this?"

"Sir, please think about it, Yuan Shao is sick, you invite a famous doctor, and those who know say that you love the lord from the bottom of your heart, will people with ulterior motives say that you have ulterior motives and intend to harm the lord?"

"My heart can show the sun and the moon!"

"You believe it, I believe it, who else will believe it? I'm afraid that Hua Tuo will be taken down before meeting Yuan Shao, and then planted on Mr. Yuan Tan, that will be very detrimental to him." Zhou Cang looked at him. Xin commented with disbelief, "It's not because I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I must know more about the filth in Jizhou than I do. Otherwise, Mr. Tian Feng would not end up wronged, and Mr. Jushou would not die abroad."

When mentioning Jushou and Tian Feng, Xin Ping was speechless, "It makes your words serious."

"How many people in Jizhou can't see General Yuan Tan's meritorious service? How many people are behind the scenes? How many people are ready to make trouble? Please go back and tell General Yuan Tan a word: strength is the last word."

Xin Ping is a straightforward person, and it was his whim to ask Hua Tuo to visit his doctor, but he didn't expect it would cause so many disturbances. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see this happen, but he also didn't trust Judgment and Fengji.

Alas, I am not as thorough as Zhou Cang. "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, and Xin Ping bid farewell."
