Although Li Toutuo decided to show off his cards to Lin Jianqing, the moment he met Lin Jianqing, Li Toutuo changed his mind. This bastard was simple-minded and arrogant, especially after drinking. He liked to talk nonsense. If he told him the truth, maybe he would
At what point will he spill the beans and betray himself?
I still have to act according to the original plan and use help as an excuse to let him do things for me.
This time, Li Toutuo brought a record-keeper with him to record all Lin Jianqing's explanations.
"Let's talk about it one by one. First, let's talk about the information I asked you to see. Have you seen it all?"
Lin Jianqing nodded, "Yesterday, we transported 50,000 shi of grain to Longxi County and then transported it to Lanzhou. Currently, the grain storage in Lanzhou is 200,000 shi. I saw that the plan is to store it until 300,000 shi."
"Has any grain been transported to Pujin Pass?"
"The granaries over Pujin Pass are full."
"How much is it full?" Li Toutuo interrupted him and asked.
"The five granaries over there can store a total of 30,000 shi, and in the past few days, Tongzhou has added 30,000 shi of grain. I looked at the records. Tongzhou plus Pujin Pass, plus Tongguan's 20,000 shi of grain storage, the entire eastern
The grain reserves at the border amount to one hundred thousand dan."
After a pause, Lin Jianqing asked: "Brother Li, are there any business opportunities here?"
Li Toutuo smiled and said: "You must be able to seize business opportunities. A few days ago, you told me that the Western Army mobilized 50,000 troops to Lanzhou. I immediately trafficked a large number of medicinal materials and timber to Lanzhou. Sure enough, the price of medicinal materials and timber increased sharply, and I made a profit in one fell swoop.
For twenty thousand dollars, this is a business opportunity. As I told you before, you must learn to collect all kinds of information and then capture the opportunities to make money from it."
"Why can medicinal materials and wood make money?" Lin Jianqing asked blankly.
"Idiot, if you send troops to Lanzhou, you will definitely go to war with Xixia, or Xixia will invade the south. If there is a war, you will be injured. If you are injured, you will need a lot of medicinal materials. To transport supplies, you will need carts. To build carts, you will need wood. So,
I want to understand the trends of the army. Only the army needs a lot of supplies and is our opportunity to make a lot of money."
Lin Jianqing suddenly realized that he could make 20,000 yuan in one stroke. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Li, can you take me to do it together?"
Li Toutuo narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "There is no problem in taking you to do this, but doing this kind of business requires risks and costs. Sometimes you will even do whatever it takes to make money. You have to think carefully, do you dare to take risks?
"
Lin Jianqing hesitated and asked: "What risk should we take?"
Li Toutuo pulled him to sit down and said earnestly: "Business is not as simple as you think. I heard that Bashu sheepskins are expensive, so why don't we buy a batch of sheepskins and ship them to Bashu? In fact, we can't make any money in this way, because you are not the only one."
Merchants, everyone is buying sheepskins and shipping them to Bashu! When you ship them to Bashu, the price will plummet because there are too many sheepskins, and you will lose money. To make money, you need to have news that others do not have, or important information, such as you
When it comes to information about mobilizing troops and transporting food, for Xixia it is called military intelligence, but for us it is called commercial intelligence. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Jianqing nodded, "Commercial intelligence and military intelligence are actually the same thing, but they have different uses."
Li Toutuo gave a thumbs up. This time he really praised it, and the boy can be taught.
"We are doing business together. Your job is to collect intelligence. No matter what kind of intelligence you collect, I will judge whether it is worth making money. You will receive 20% of the net profit earned in the future."
Lin Jianqing was overjoyed when he heard that he was given 20%, and asked cautiously: "What about the previous 20,000 yuan?"
"That shouldn't count, but I still give you the benefit of a thousand dollars. From now on, I will sign another contract with you, otherwise it will be hard to say nothing."
After speaking, Li Toutuo gave instructions, and his subordinates immediately wrote a contract, signed by both parties, and took their fingerprints.
His subordinates took out another two hundred taels of silver, put it on the table and pushed it to Lin Jianqing. Li Toutuo knew very well that Lin Jianqing was lustful, greedy, stupid, and unjust for profit. As long as he had money, I would dare to betray Li Toutuo. I am not worried that Lin Jianqing will betray him, I am just worried that he will be stupid and let the news slip.
Looking at the two hundred taels of silver, Lin Jianqing's eyes went straight. He swallowed and pointed at the silver, "Is this really mine?"
Li Toutuo laughed and said, "This little money is nothing. As long as you come up with valuable information, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Lin Jianqing greedily held the money in his arms, smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and asked: "Brother Li, can you give me a hint as to which type of information is more profitable?"
"Let me point out a few key points for you! First, when will the Western Army go to war with Xixia? Second, how many troops will the Western Army recruit and where will they recruit from? Third, how many troops will the Western Army deploy at Pujin Pass? Chapter Fourth, does Chen Qing, the Xuanfu envoy, have a substitute?"
The weather has reached its hottest moment. The sun is as scorching as fire, as if even the air is burning. The slightest movement will make you sweat profusely. Most people are unwilling to go out, and those who want to make a living can only run around in the scorching sun.
At noon, a camel team came from outside Xianyang City. There were about a hundred camels carrying heavy goods. They were composed of several businessmen and more than 20 guys. One businessman had deep eyes and a high nose. At first glance, he was from the Western Regions. But it was not surprising on the road. The starting point of the Silk Road extended eastward from Chengji County to Jingzhao City, and a large number of barbarians began to migrate to Jingzhao City again.
Xianyang County, which is very close to Jingzhao City and has cheap housing rents, became a place for the Hu people to store their camels.
The caravan entered Xianyang County, checked the tax stamp at the city gate, and entered the county directly. Not long after, the caravan arrived at a very large inn. The inn covered an area of ten acres, which was unimaginable in Jingzhao City, but Do we really need such a big inn, otherwise where would the caravan’s camels be stored?
Twenty or so waiters unloaded the goods and handed the camels to the innkeepers, who then moved the goods into the guest rooms.
At this time, the innkeeper hurried over and saluted the caravan leader. The caravan leader asked: "Where are the groups of people coming in front?"
"They are all scattered. Some are in Lintao County, some are in Xianyang County, and some have lurked into Jingzhao. The internal security of the Western Army is very strict, and we dare not take it lightly."
This caravan actually came from Xixia. The leader of the caravan is called Murong Wenshu, who is the master of the Xixia Black Jin Hall. The Black Jin Hall is affiliated to the Xixia Central Guards. It is now under the direct jurisdiction of the Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun and is responsible for detecting intelligence, assassinations, sabotage, etc. Wait for special actions.
The Song army is preparing for war in Lanzhou. How could Xixia not know about it? However, Xixia is now weak and unable to fight. Once the Song army comes in large numbers, Xixia may be in danger of annihilation. The Jin Kingdom was defeated in northern Shaanxi and is concentrating its forces to protect the East River Road. Can no longer support Xixia.
Li Qianshun had no choice but to rely on himself to protect himself. On the one hand, he tried his best to prepare for war. On the other hand, Li Qianshun took dangerous measures and sent Hei Jintang to sneak into Guanzhong to assassinate Chen Qing. As long as he could prevent the Song army from invading, Li Qianshun would do whatever it took.
This time, Black Jintang almost went out in force, sending 300 elites to sneak into Guanzhong in various ways, looking for opportunities to assassinate Chen Qing.
Murong Wenshu is a native of the Black Khanate. He is in his forties and is one of the founders of the Black Jin Hall. He has strong martial arts skills and a sharp mind. This time he personally led the team to Jingzhao with the goal of winning.
The Xixia Heijintang is different from the Jinguo Intelligence Station. Although Li Toutuo also wanted to assassinate Chen Qing, their main job was to collect information. The assassination was an amateur, but the Xixia Heijintang was a professional assassin. They dispatched 300 people to disperse Hidden, very hidden.
This large inn in Xianyang is currently the first place to stay for the Black Jintang warriors. The head of the Xixia Intelligence Station is the innkeeper and his name is Li Lu. He has been in Guanzhong for four years and knows the situation of the Song army very well.
"Tell me about Chen Qing's situation. Is there any chance of assassination?"
Li Lu nodded and said: "Chen Qing lived in the former palace. The entire palace covered an area of about three hundred acres. In front of the palace was the Xuanfu envoy's office. To the east of the palace was a military camp where three thousand troops were stationed. This was for protection. The first line of defense of the palace, then Chen Qing also has 300 personal soldiers stationed in the palace, which is the second line of defense. Then there are probably dozens of female guards in the back house where Chen Qing lives. I don't know the specific number. "
"Female guard?" Murong Wenshu laughed dumbly.
