Chapter 97 Yun Zhao's Daily Means
When Zhang Xianliang brought the map, there were no colorful threads, it was all pure white.
The color was added by Yun Zhao himself.
The border army has been through a miserable life. Once the border army mutinied, the consequences would be serious. Yun Zhao did not intend to touch these lines, so he painted them red.
The whole world is suffering from disasters, and the whole world is also providing disaster relief. Therefore, the disaster relief food cannot be moved, and Yun Zhao also painted it red.
The blue silk thread is actually Caoliang, which shocked the world. Before Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others became famous thieves, Yun Zhao was not prepared to become more famous than them.
The pink silk thread maintains some transactions between the big merchants in the southeast and the northwest. Some of these transactions are good and have positive significance, while others are purely exchanges of interests. Therefore, take action when you encounter them. , without harming the overall situation.
Although there are not many black threads on the map, there are also many, with the most in Shanxi.
Later generations criticized the process of Shanxi merchants getting rich too much, and this also affected Yunzhao. No matter what encounters and difficulties they had, it was not a reason for them to do business with the Manchus.
Yun Zhao thought that he should try every means to seize this money and food.
Shanxi salt merchants have always liked farming, so they exchanged grain for salt with the border army at the most cost-effective price. The only drawback was that there was not much food and they suffered from disasters year after year.
As a result, the salt merchants in the southeast area like to do business with them. First, the southeast salt merchants transport the grain to Shanxi and Shaanxi, and then exchange it with the Shanxi merchants for salt. This is beneficial to both parties. .
Yunshi used to be a big grain merchant. Although he has never been exposed to things like salt, he is still sensitive to grain trading.
Shopkeeper Yun heard that a large amount of grain worth one million kilograms of salt was coming to Xi'an recently, and the recipients were Shanxi merchants Fan Xiaoshan and Wang Dengku!
Based on the price of three cents for a pound of Jiangnan Huai salt, excluding the cost of boiling and drying the salt, this one million pounds of salt will ultimately enable these people to earn more than one hundred thousand taels. The benefits of silver.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of salt. There are salt mines in the mountains, natural salt in saltwater lakes, and endless salt in the sea.
Ever since someone invented something like "Salt and Iron Official Sales", the price of salt has never been cheaper.
Based on the current price of salt in Lantian County, a pound of salt sold for one cent and seven cents is still as expensive as robbery.
How can Yun Zhao, who is used to eating salt costing two yuan a pound, tolerate selling a pound of salt for eighty yuan?
Hong Chengchou wanted food, but the food Yunzhao needed had just landed in Luoyang and was about to head to Chang'an. He had to wait a little longer before it could be delivered.
Most of the food sent from the southeast is rice. Yun Zhao is going to change it and send millet, millet, and wheat to Hong Chengchou. It is amazing that the Yun family can only eat rice for seven or eight thousand people for a year. This is not What a big deal.
Nowadays, food is becoming more expensive. In the Wanli period, a load of grain was sold for one tael of silver. In the second year of Chongzhen, a load of wheat was sold for six taels of silver, and the price of a load of rice was more than seven taels of silver.
And a child with good facial features can only be exchanged for fifty kilograms of millet, and the selling price of an upright-looking girl will definitely not exceed three taels of silver... One million kilograms of salt after deducting the cost can be exchanged for The food supply is really limited.
Coupled with the cost of transporting grain, the amount of rice shipped from the south this time will definitely not exceed 10,000 dans!
From Luoyang to Xi'an, they did not pass through Lantian County, but entered Weinan County from Huayin. The Yun family was very familiar with this place, and Yunxiao told Jie Dao after he returned from a trip. The place was set at Shaohua Mountain.
After success, as long as you get into Shaohua Mountain, you can finally return to Lantian County along the Qinling Mountains, but there will be more bandits along the way.
In Shaanxi, as long as it is a mountain, there will be bandits on it. It is impossible for a famous mountain like Shaohua Mountain with a long history of banditry not to have someone occupy the mountain and become the king. Now, the big boss of Shaohua Mountain is called "Sai" "Bodang", he plays with a cooked copper stick weighing a hundred kilograms in his hand. It is said that his arms are extremely powerful. He is a hero who is willing to do justice and spread wealth.
The plan has been formulated and must be implemented. This hero who is "even better than Wang Bodang" and is generous with his wealth is naturally included in the Yun family's plan to cut him off, and he will not be exterminated just because he has a good reputation. one side.
Moreover, the Yun family needs a scapegoat...
This decision made Yun Hu very sad. When he was the nominal leader of Crescent Mountain, everyone lived close to each other. "Tiger" and "Cyberdang" also drank blood wine and vowed to help each other, eating large chunks of meat and drinking from large bowls.
Seeing that his father-in-law was in trouble, Gao Jie asked for hundreds of people, left Yunjiazhuangzi overnight, and entered the vast Qinling Mountains from Tangyu.
"This time I will go there in person, and you will look after the house!"
After everyone left the meeting hall, Yun Zhao left Yun Fu and Yun Meng behind.
Yunfu lit the cigarette pot and took a puff of smoke: "It's okay, you have to go and see it. You always hide behind your uncle. You don't understand what killing is like. You have a bad heart." It's become vicious."
Yunmeng frowned and said, "It's not difficult to deal with an escort agency with less than three hundred people, so don't go. Your uncle Meng will definitely handle things properly."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Uncle Fu is right, I will always have to face it. I am the only male left in the next generation of our Yun clan. I cannot escape."
p>Yunmeng stood up and looked at Uncle Fu and said: "Before I die, Xiao Zhao will not go to the battlefield!"
Yunfu blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "What do you think? Is your beloved nephew really a chubby eight-year-old?
Let me tell you, even though you have been a bandit for so many years, compared with your fat nephew, he is a man-eating wolf. !"
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Fu who was a little embarrassed and said: "I will find the arsenal, I can find it without your guidance!"
Yunfu was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Yunzhao and said, "How about you find me after I die?"
Yunzhao shook his head and said, "I won't embarrass you. You can say nothing, I will look for it myself. It is my luck to find it, and it is my fate to not find it.
Now the world is exhausted to the extreme. God knows that one day I, Yunshi, will face him. Faced with a huge dilemma like a landslide and tsunami.
You have a weapon in your hand, but you are unwilling to use it to help us overcome the difficulty. Are you prepared to watch the Yun family be swallowed up by the giant wolf? ”
Yunmeng has long been extremely disgusted with Yunfu's behavior of holding the key to the arsenal alone but refusing to take it out.
On the other hand, he sneered: "I am from the Yin tribe. You said that this thing could only be used by the Yang tribe, so I didn't say anything and just waited to give it to my nephew.
Now, although my nephew is young, he is very smart. He needs these things more urgently than me to preserve the family property.
Since it belongs to the Yun family, you, an old slave, How dare you set rules for your master?"
Yun Fu's old face seemed to be bleeding. He raised his head and was about to speak when Yun Zhao interrupted: "Uncle Meng, this thing Maybe only some of them belong to the Yun family, and the rest are not from our family." Yunmeng was stunned for a moment and said, "It was obviously brought back by the ancestor, so why is it not from our family?"
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "If it were anyone else, I would say the same thing as Uncle Meng. The problem is that most of these weapons belong to the Qi Family Army!"
"Qi Family Army?"
"Yes, to be precise, they belong to the group of Qi soldiers killed by Wang Bao in Shimen Village. Uncle Fu should not have been very old at that time."
Listen After hearing Yun Zhao's words, Yun Fu's face turned redder and redder. He slowly stood up and said to Yun Zhao in the most gloomy voice: "You are the most shameless person in the world!"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: " I am only eight years old, and from the time I was born to now, I have saved far more people than I have killed, and I have always done things honestly, how can I be so shameless?”
Yun Fu? He sneered: "You actually know nothing about the arsenal, right?"
Yun Zhao laughed: "Isn't it Shimen Village..."
"Fart! These weapons , the weapons belonged to the Sichuan Army who died outside Liaoyang City in the first year of Tianqi, to Zhou Dunji who led three thousand Sichuan Army soldiers to a sudden attack on Jiannu's main formation and died, Qin Minping, and to the general Chen Ce who killed more than ten Jiannu in the formation and died of exhaustion. It belongs to the young marshal Qi Jin who led the Qi army with less than 6,000 men to attack Huang Taiji's 50,000-strong army and killed more than 10,000 people. It belongs to Tong Zhongkui, who continued to fight even when there was only one soldier left. But it does not belong to you - this wild boar! Jing!
A treacherous villain like you is not worthy of using these weapons. I would rather light a fire and blow it up than give you the power of Yunfu! Astonishingly, Yun Zhao was as majestic as an old lion at this moment, forcing Yun Zhao to hide behind Yun Meng.
Yunmeng, on the other hand, kept rubbing his hands in embarrassment and said: "Uncle Fu, Xiao Zhao didn't want to seize the things in the arsenal. He just wanted to get some out so that we can build according to them.
Forcing you today is completely unreasonable. If you don't agree to Xiao Zhao's plan, we will both turn around and run away. There is no such thing as forcing you." Seeing Yun Fu slowly calm down, Yun Zhao got behind Yun Meng. Come out and bow repeatedly.
Yun Fu glanced at Yun Zhao lightly and said: "Perhaps someone like you is suitable to live in troubled times.
If there were people like you among Chen Ce, Qi Jin, and Tong Zhongkui, With one person, the entire army of 9,000 will not be killed in battle, and even the Qi family army will not be left without a single seed!"
