Chapter 176 Teach Young Master Zhao a Lesson
Li Fen smiled. After hearing his words, everyone looked at Li Fen in shock.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Li Fen felt quite proud and explained his plan angrily, "This Zhao Tai has angered Prince Kuo Duan and ruined my good deeds. He wants to coexist peacefully with me and do business with me.
So I used a trick to trick him into sending supplies, and then swallowed them in one gulp."
"Haha~" When he said this, Li Fen couldn't help laughing proudly. When he thought about Zhao Tai's mood after losing the goods, he felt as happy as eating honey.
He laughed proudly, but the generals below him frowned into the character "Chuan".
Many of Haizhou's defenders have gotten along well with Zhao Tai recently.
After listening to Li Fen's words, they were worried that if Li Fen didn't give him money to buy things, they would definitely not be able to buy supplies from Donghai Island in the future.
Everyone looked at each other, Peng Huizu clasped his fists and asked, "Marshal, can the Governor's Mansion guarantee our supply of money and food in the future?"
This Peng Huizu was a veteran general. He followed Yang An'er in his early years and later followed Li Quan. He was a veteran in Li's army.
Li Fen frowned slightly when he heard this. He understood what Peng Huizu meant. He just didn't want to give up and continued to purchase supplies from Donghai Island.
Now unless Li Fen can guarantee that he can give them sufficient money and food in the future, they will not support his plan.
This made Li Fen couldn't help but sigh, now that he has no money, it is not easy to lead the team, and his subordinates are not willing to listen to him.
But if you want to be a warlord, you must be able to bring benefits to your subordinates.
If you can't bring any benefits, why should your brothers recognize you as the boss?
Li Fen's face was dark. He understood what they meant, "Don't worry, I defrauded Zhao Tai of a lot of supplies this time, which can meet your consumption. In addition, the Great Khan, Prince Kublai Khan, Prince Kublai Khan,
I hate this Zhao Tai with all my heart. If I cheat him and tell the Great Khan, I will definitely win their favor. Then let the Great Khan return the western states to us, and you will still worry about not having enough money and food."
Hearing what he said, Peng Huizu and others smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief has thought everything through. There is no need for us to worry."
When Li Fen heard what he said, a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hands to indicate that everyone should not do this, and then looked aside, "Li Zhongquan, go to Donghai Island immediately and tell Zhao Tai to deliver the goods."
~~~~~~
Donghai Island, in Zhao Tai's study.
Li Zhongquan's eyes were a little erratic and he seemed a little uneasy.
Li Fen asked him to deceive Zhao Tai, but he didn't consider that he still had his family in Zhao Tai's hands.
The supplies Li Fen wanted this time were huge. Zhao Tai was deceived of so many supplies, why didn't he kill his family to vent his anger?
Li Zhongquan couldn't help but struggle in his heart, but Zhao Tai smiled and said, "Li Qianhu, is Li Fen here?"
Li Zhongquan came back to his senses. He was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He could only salute quickly and said, "Report to the Prime Minister that Li Fen has arrived in Haizhou and asked me to inform the Prime Minister that the transaction can be carried out."
Zhao Tai nodded slightly and stroked his beard, "I understand. I'll give you another hard time and tell him to trade tomorrow morning."
Li Zhongquan received Zhao Tai's reply and quickly returned to Haizhou by boat.
Li Fen was quite happy after hearing what Li Zhongquan said. He didn't expect that Zhao Tai was so easy to deceive.
He thought of defrauding Zhao Tai of his goods and then telling the Mongols that if others didn't tell him, Kuo Duan would definitely be excited, and with this merit, the Mongols would definitely reuse him.
This was a double blessing in terms of obtaining supplies and regaining the trust of Mongolia.
At this time, in Zhao Tai's study, Zhao Tai called Sun Li and Zhao Hu, and said with a smile: "Get ready, load the tea shipped from Chuzhou on the ship, and prepare to trade with them tomorrow. Don't ask for other things.
Don’t let Li Zhongquan know about the shipment.”
Sun Li nodded, "I'm humble enough to make arrangements."
Zhao Hu asked: "Mr. Li Fen wants to hack our goods, why do you have to send them to him?"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Have you forgotten what I said? Li Fen is plotting against my goods, but I am plotting against his people. Don't worry, if you let him rob this batch of goods, he will pay for it later, and
Will sign a secret agreement with me!"
Early the next morning, Zhao Tai boarded the warship and sailed towards Haizhou Pier with two cargo ships.
At this time, Li Fen had been waiting on the dock early and ambushed people on the left and right.
Li Fen ordered in a cold voice: "When their ship docks and anchors, the ambush troops will immediately swarm up and take control of the ship."
Several Li Jun generals nodded, "Marshal, don't worry, we are ready."
Not long after, Zhao Tai led the boat to the dock and stopped not far away.
Zhao Tai stood on the bow of the ship and said loudly: "Who is Marshal Li?"
Seeing this, Li Fen stepped forward and said with a smile: "But Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "It's Zhao!"
Li Fen raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Tai over a hundred steps away, and then cleared his throat, "Ms. Zhao, the money has been prepared, please let the cargo ship dock!"
Zhao Tai took the iron trumpet made overnight from his subordinates and continued to shout: "Marshal Li, we are all Han people. I thought we did not need to fight to the death for the Mongols and Jurchens. Now that the north-south trade routes are cut off, you are in the north
, I am in Nan, cooperate with each other, resell materials, and make a lot of money, wouldn’t it be wonderful!”
Li Fen was shocked. He didn't expect Zhao Tai to be so bold and dare to say such words in front of so many people, and he was not afraid that the Jin people would hear him.
Zhao Tai is indeed not afraid now, and the Jin people have nothing to do with him.
Wanyan Shouxu and Heda both knew that he had different intentions, but in order to get Song Yuan, they could only turn a blind eye, pretend not to know anything, and continue to live together with Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai was not afraid, but Li Fen was worried that there would be too many people and he quickly said: "Ms. Zhao, please bring the cargo ship over first. We can discuss other matters after the transaction!"
Zhao Tai seemed not to have heard anything and continued to shout: "Marshal Li, to show my sincerity, as long as you agree to cooperate, from now on, I will give you the goods at the best price. This time the goods on your list are tea.
I only count two hundred coins per catty, and food only counts five hundred coins per kilogram..."
When Zhao Tai said the quotation, the eyes of everyone in Li Jun on the other side lit up when they heard it.
To be honest, the price Zhao Tai gave me was really conscientious and the price to make friends.
Now the Mongols have a lot of money, but are extremely short of supplies.
Take this tea as an example. Ordinary tea in the Southern Song Dynasty only cost more than 100 yuan per catty, but it could be sold to the Mongolians for five or six hundred yuan. It was a huge profit.
Li Fen was not sensitive to the price mentioned by Zhao Tai. He had no intention of paying anyway.
At this time, he listened to Zhao Tai for a while, and wanted to interrupt, but he couldn't interrupt at all.
The two chatted across servers for a while, and Zhao Tai finally waved his hand, "The cargo ship is approaching!"
Li Fen originally thought that after Zhao Tai's eloquent conversation, he would ask him to send the money on the ship first. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tai did not mention the money at all and let the cargo ship dock.
This made Li Fen feel happy and a little guilty at the same time. He didn't expect Zhao Tai to believe in him so much.
