Blood from Daming

Chapter 609
Xue Yun's words were refusal to welcome them. When the merchants heard that the general didn't close the door to business, he just said that everyone's selling price was too high. These merchants complained that this was all opened by your group As for the price, those Xue Jiajun a few days ago were simply stupid with a lot of money. Otherwise, how could we businessmen come so quickly.

However, people like myself came late, and the good business has already been done by those who arrived first. Everyone still pays travel expenses to do business. If they are pulled back, they will not pay themselves to death every time they go. Now some people are willing to buy their own goods. Everyone was delighted. As for how much you earn, it depends on your luck.

So these merchants began to lower the price, starting from double the market price in Pingyang Prefecture, and began to drop downward. These profiteering businessmen are heartbroken to death.

Xue Yun felt that although the price was a bit high, fortunately, the most important thing he lacked was silver. It might be beneficial for Xue’s army to have a little extra silver to buy some good reputation in Pingyang Mansion, even if Shanxi Chief Secretary and Pingyang Mansion had to deal with Jiangzhou City. , Xue Jiajun at Wuping Pass, and powerful businessmen would not want to see their God of Wealth Bodhisattva fall.

Xue Yun asked: "How much stock do you merchants have now?"

As soon as the merchants heard that there was something interesting, they gathered together to make statistics. As a result, the thirty or forty merchants brought a total of 180 carts, more than 900 catties of barley, more than 1000 catties of sorghum, and more than 8000 catties of beans. , more than 1000 catties of dried meat, and a batch of cloth ready-to-wear shoes and socks, etc., if Xue Jiajun is willing to buy a cart with mules and horses, more than 2 catties of fodder will be given away.

Xue Yun said: "Okay, Xue Jiajun wants all these goods, and the price will be calculated at [-]% of the market price, but I have one condition, that is, you need to send the goods to the designated place for unloading."

Xue Jiajun was willing to pay [-]% higher than the market price to buy all the goods in the hands of the merchants. These merchants seemed to have met the god of wealth, and asked Xue Yun where to transport the goods. Xue Yun gave the place as Wuping Pass. They were overjoyed immediately, if they walked quickly from Xiangling to Wuping Pass, they would definitely be able to arrive in two days, excluding property and transportation costs, the extra [-]% of the profit would be for nothing.

The merchants quoted the total price to Xue Yun, which was more than 2000 taels of silver in total, of which grain only accounted for 4000 taels of silver. This price did not include mules, horses and carts, but what the merchants were most concerned about was Xue’s army’s ability to pay. Looking at the more than 2000 uniform cavalry of Xue's army, many businessmen are still secretly worried that Xue's army will be black.

Xue Yun looked at this group of businessmen who wanted to make money but were afraid of losing money. He really didn't know how to explain it to them. He simply asked the soldiers to take out 4000 taels of gold from the belongings they carried with them for the merchants to watch. This move by Xue Jiajun was dismissed. concerns of businessmen.

Next, the merchant asked how Xue Jiajun would pay the money due after the delivery at Wuping Pass. Xue Yun answered simply, as long as the merchants delivered the goods at Wuping Pass, they could come to Xue Jiajun's camp in Xiangling to collect the gold with a note. The merchants all agreed, but there are still six or seven merchants who have doubts. Xue Yun is too lazy to say anything to these people. Since you can't trust Xue Jiajun, then you don't need to do business with Xue Jiajun.

Most businessmen got impatient in Xiangling for a long time. They called up their coachmen and rushed to Wuping Pass overnight. People have a herd mentality. Only when there is a leader, other businessmen will follow. Xue Jiajun The big camp has just been set up, 180 five carts, 500 businessmen and staff, and they have already left cleanly.

Xue Yun can actually ask his subordinates to bring gold to Wupingguan to pay the bill, but Xue Yun hopes to establish a reputation for Xue Jiajun in Shanxi, that is, Xue Jiajun's IOU, so there is [-]% gold content, as long as the merchants pay the goods to Xue Jiajun, The white note issued by Xue Jiajun is equivalent to the amount he wrote, and Xue Jiajun will definitely pay this amount.

On the [-]th day of June the next day, Xue Yun sent Wang Erwa to lead a hundred cavalry back to Wuping Pass to deal with the delivery of Pingyang merchants at Wuping Pass; Xue Yun had to stay in Xiangling for a few days, waiting for the group The merchant took away the gold, and Xue Yun thought that the problems of Jiangzhou City and Wuping Pass had not been settled, so he led a Xue family army to Pingyang Mansion for a walk, to see if he could find an opportunity to communicate with the officials of Pingyang Mansion.

Xue Yun asked Yang Zhenlei to stay in the camp, and he brought Yan Laoyao and a thousand Xue family troops to the north and came to the south gate of Pingyang Mansion. It was still ten miles away from the south gate of Pingyang Mansion. Xue Yun observed Pingyang with binoculars Funan Gate, Pingyang Funan Gate is tightly closed, and many people who want to enter the city go north along the east side and enter the city from the east gate.

Xue Yun led the Xue family army to go north along the Fenshui River. The east gate of Pingyang Mansion was still closed, but many officials of Pingyang Mansion gathered on the east tower. Lying down on the grass to rest, waiting for the response from Pingyang Mansion.

About half an hour later, the Pingyang Mansion let down an official from the city wall. The official climbed out of the basket and tremblingly crossed the stone bridge on the Fenshui River. The place where Yan Lao Yao sat and rested.

Xue Yun looked at this Pingyang mansion official, who was wearing the clothes of a sixth-rank civil official, probably a fellow confidant. At this moment, Yan Lao Yao said, "What kind of official are you? Why do you come to see us?"

The official who could wear the uniform of a sixth-rank civil servant said: "This general, my official surname is Tian, ​​and I am the Tongzhi of Pingyang Prefecture. I have something to ask to see the leading general of Datong Town."

When Yan Laoyao heard that Tian Tongzhi was a very dick, he spoke in a rigid manner, and looked like he was doing business, he felt uncomfortable psychologically, so Yan Laoyao said: "A small official from the sixth grade, with a pig's nose inserted Green onions are like elephants, if you have something to say, you can fart as soon as you say it.”

The youngest Yan's words choked that Tian Tongzhi. This Tian Tongzhi was recruited through a favor, and he didn't start his official career until he was middle-aged. It's a pity that he has read a lot, and he is very dull in doing things, and he is very concerned about his identity. Status belongs to that kind of rigid official who doesn't make sense.

It took Tian Tongzhi a long time to say: "You, you, you martial artist, it is simply unreasonable."

Xue Yun saw that Tian Tongzhi was an honest man, and thought that the officials in Pingyang Mansion were deceitful enough. He probably couldn't deal with this Tian Tongzhi, so he sent him out to show off. Tian Tongzhi will lose a piece of flesh, and this is because he met Xue Jiajun. If he meets those rioters in Shaanxi in the future, Tian Tongzhi doesn't know how he died.

Xue Yun said: "Youngest, at any rate, he is also an official. Let's respect each other under the same roof. Hey, Tian Tongzhi, tell me why you are here."

Tian Tongzhi saw a handsome young army general talking next to the vicious man, Tian Tongzhi felt good about Xue Yun who spoke politely and said, "I don't know what your name is for this general."

Knowing that his identity had been exposed too much, Xue Yun said, "My general's surname is Xue."

Tian Tongzhi said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It turned out to be General Xue. I was ordered by the magistrate to come and ask your army what's important outside the west gate of my Pingyang mansion."

Xue Yun was defeated by this superb Tian Tongzhi, and even Yan Lao Yao covered his mouth and laughed straight away. Xue Yun had already said that he was a general, and that his surname was Xue. The generals called each other generals. The honorific title is that he would never call himself a general, Xue Yun said he was a general, and Tian Tongzhi also called Xue Yun a general, either ignorance or arrogance.

Obviously this Tian Tongzhi belongs to the category of ignorance, Xue Yun is not easy to explain to Tian Tongzhi, and then continue to talk to Tian Tongzhi: "Master Tian, ​​our Xue family army wants to go to Pingyang Mansion to enjoy the human nature, but we don't want the South Gate of Pingyang Mansion, The west gate is closed tightly, and I don't know how to enter the city, Lord Tian came, just in time to explain the confusion to General Ben and his soldiers."

Although Tian Tongzhi is a dull and rotten Confucian, he is not a fool, so he found a reason that he thought was reasonable to prevaricate Xue Yun and said, "General Xue, now the Eastern Captives are invading our Daming, and Pingyang Mansion is under military control to prevent the enemy from stealing the city."

Xue Yun said: "Now that our Xue family army has come to the west gate of Pingyang Mansion, you don't have to worry about Jianlu's sneak attack. Go back and tell your prefect that even if you open the city gate boldly, there is no taboo with the Xue family army."

Now Tian Tongzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Xue Yun: "Your identities are unknown, you should stay far away from our Pingyang Mansion, so that everyone will live in peace."

Xue Yun said: "My youngest, show Master Tian the general's talisman, badge, and imperial decree, lest people say that we are fake officers and soldiers."

Yan Laoyao immediately urged Xue Yun's soldiers to reveal the military talisman, token, and imperial decree. Tian Tongzhi knew that it was not a fake when he saw the military talisman, token, and imperial edict. Looking at the general soldier talisman in the hands of the soldiers of the Xue family army, I thought it was broken, I was really blind, this young general said that his surname was Xue, and he called him a general, was it General Xue Yun of Datong Mansion or who, and he kept sipping one by one The generals are called people.

Tian Tongzhi said in great panic: "I really don't know that you are General Xue Yun, please forgive my rudeness."
