Lei Yuan walked slowly, rode his horse for a few steps, and stopped again, waiting for Shamoko and his allies.
For more than two months, Shamoko's image was very different from when Lei Yuan first met him. The colorful suit with bare arms and thighs had been replaced by a mighty military uniform with a Chinese style. The big nailed stick that never left his body was held in the leather case and hung on the side of the saddle. He was no longer riding the original fat buffalo, but replaced it with a tall horse produced in the north.
Such a good horse can easily be worth 100,000 yuan even when the world is peaceful. Shamoko paid a price of 100,000 yuan in exchange for a hundred head knives: including the Han, the barbarians and a large amount of supplies, which finally came from Lei Yuan. The exquisite saddles, bridles, horse whip, etc. that matched it cost a lot of money.
Although Shamoke felt sorry for the expenses, he felt that it was absolutely necessary to show the power of the Wuxi Barbarian King. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the Wuxi Manqu coaches who were following him. Seeing the blue and white faces of the earth sticks from Wuling, wouldn't they be shocked by his dignity?
What's more... Shamoko looked around the whole noisy market, and the rows of residences and shops had a unique neat beauty. What a great benefit there was, Shamoko didn't know, but now he knew. As an important ally of Lei Yuan, Shamoko appointed several smart subordinates to directly run a store in this big market. Considering the profits of the store, it was natural to buy a good horse.
Lei Yuan also paid attention to the coaches of Qu around Shamoke.
Today he set out from the county town and met with the leaders of Jingman from the ground. On the surface, he was relaxed and comfortable along the way, but in fact he was always nervous.
Outsiders often think that the information between the Han and the Barbarians is like a natural barrier, but it is actually a big mistake. For hundreds of years, the two families have mixed together and have a different voice. Even though the customs of the barbarians are contrary to the Han families, most of them are people who yearn for the wealth and prosperity of the Han families. Therefore, for several months, Lei Yuan has already figured out the details of the Barbarians clearly, and he understands that from Nanjun to Wuling, many Barbarians have already wanted to interact with Lexiang and get a share of the Han and Barbarian transactions that are about to begin.
What Lexiang County can provide is a huge market that is close to the point, and Jingzhou, which has been destroyed by war for a long time. It has an almost unlimited demand for bulk materials. These materials are piled up in the mountains of Manbu, and countless useless decays are used and decayed every year. The Qus and the generals transported them along the river, with almost no cost, but they can exchange for high benefits and unimaginable enjoyment in the deep mountains.
And what can the Eastern Wu give? Are the Jingmans hoping to transport bamboo and wood from the mountains along the river to Yangzhou for sale? It is impossible. What the Eastern Wu can give to the Jingman is always just a deterrent rather than a benefit.
Under this circumstance, the trick of the Eastern Wu instigating Jing Man was discovered by Lei Yuan from the beginning. The reason why he seemed to have been waiting until today was because he wanted to give those coaches a chance, and to "put a long line and catch big fish."
At this time, the group was approaching the busiest area in the market.
They walked along the wide streets of the east-west direction of the city, and were about to reach the intersection of the street and the north-south main road. At this intersection, there is a square of 100 steps in a square radius. There is no shop around the square. A two-story wine shop is arranged on the east to sell the famous Yicheng wine in Jingzhou. There is a high platform to the west, and there are hundreds of operas and acrobatics every day.
Lei Yuan stood in the center of the square, raised his hand and pointed at the four sides, and said to the coaches of Qu: "Everyone, look, this market has only been ten days since its opening, and it has become so prosperous. The sages of the Han people said that merchants can extend their wealth to the world and gain benefits from heaven and earth, and share the wealth of the four seas. This profit and wealth should have been shared by the barbarians, and they cannot be monopolized by one person. Are you here today? "
There were four Jingman Qu Shuai present, all of whom were familiar with Chinese language, so communication with Lei Yuan was not hindered. After hearing Lei Yuan’s question, the four people exchanged a few glances secretly. A younger Qu Shuai waved the other person’s arm trying to stop him and asked a few steps forward: “Lei Family Master, what would happen if we were interested?”
"If you are interested, then from now on, you will be friends of the Wuxi Barbarian King; and the Barbarian King's friends are my friends. There should be a share of the industry here. You can also run it yourself, and you can also entrust me to run it... I am not an exaggerated person who is good at making big talk, but I only need to continue this market. Within a year, you will each obtain more than one million yuan of money, more than a thousand stones of grain and fodder, and more than a hundred pieces of silk. I dare to guarantee that in the next five years, ten years, or even longer, you will only get a lot more or less each year."
The so-called "Save wine and the wealth is touching" people's hearts. The Qu soldiers had known for a long time that this big market seemed to be able to make money, and the benefits were like mountains and seas. Otherwise, they would not have been tempted by Huang Gai and led the crowds under the banner of alliance. But what they originally thought was to plunder a handful of money, and then flee back to the remote mountains of Wuling County to enjoy it. No one expected that Lei Yuan suddenly pointed out such a golden road to everyone.
More than one million yuan in money! More than one thousand stones of food and fodder! More than one hundred pieces of silk! This huge number made the Qu soldiers almost dizzy, and the subordinates following them were in an uproar on the spot. Every year, such huge profits were more than enough to go to the Han area to be a rich man. How could he call himself the chief, Qu soldiers and so on? In fact, he was just a barbarian who was uncovered in the wild mountains and rivers?
Finally, the young coach Qu calmed down a little. He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to silence, and then asked again: "What if we don't mean it?"
Lei Yuan laughed "ha".
"If you don't intend to do this... why do you have to smuggle weapons and armor into the residence of the city for several consecutive days? Why do you have to sneak through the swamp west of Sanhekou to go deep into Lexiang? Why do you collude with the Eastern Wu and arrange a retreat to cross the water and oil and water?"
His voice was not loud, but it exploded in the ears of the barbarians like a bolt from the blue.
The four coaches of Qu took a step back together.
Dozens of warriors following the four Qu coaches subconsciously drew their swords, and a loud sound came out in an instant. But they took the sword in their hands, but did not hear the command of Qu coaches, so they could only stand still.
This situation scared the streets and the passers-by panic. Some people stood there and didn't know what to do. Some people ran around and called in horror.
Shamoke was not as frightened as the four Qu generals. He had arranged the alliance proudly, but he did not expect that there would be such a conspiracy among them? These people could set up such a vicious plan without hiding the Barbarian King? He then thought that if the target of these four people was not the Lexiang City but himself, would the alliance be the place where I, Shamoke, died?
