Chapter 169 Everyone is happy
Unfortunately, papermaking is a technical job.
The Liao Kingdom could not produce the fine rice paper from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This thing is a secret that is not passed down by various major families.
Now we have rice paper and fine books at a bargain price.
It would be strange if these smugglers are not moved.
No need to settle the money, just barter.
As long as the transaction is secure, they will actually make more profits.
Several people had a secret talk with Wu Qi and left with satisfaction.
Wu Qi was not idle either, he stepped on the claw Huang Feidian at the door.
Shi Shiran arrived at the water army camp not far away.
Who doesn’t know the famous fat captain?
"Master Qi? I'm quite idle today. Are you?"
Wu Qi gave up a few taels of silver.
"A few brothers."
"Please inform me, Master Qi wants to meet Lord Qianhu."
The new Qianjia Li Guangli is a strict and meticulous person.
After he took office, he issued entry and exit tokens to all ships that were stable.
After collecting some money, I went to reorganize the navy.
Xiaozhuang was much lazy than him at the beginning.
Of course, Zhuang Mingyang also has a lot of charitable and miscellaneous expenses.
Therefore, the new navy army has thousands of households.
His reputation is much better than his ex.
Wu Qi walked into the central army's tent.
I found that the furnishings inside were very simple.
A desk with a wooden camp bed behind it.
A few chairs were placed left and right.
A charcoal basin was just placed in the middle.
Zhuang Mingyang was not like this at the beginning.
Even the beautiful maids dare to bring them into the army casually.
Li Guangli raised his head from a pile of documents, his face cold.
"Wu Qi? It seems that we have never had a fight, right?"
"Why did it come from?"
Wu Qi asked about this person.
I know he doesn't like nonsense.
Then let's get straight to the point.
"Sir Li, that's it."
"Shen Lin from Lushui Tiecheng, please contact several smugglers."
"I plan to use books, paper and cotton fabrics to get some cattle, sheep and horses from the north."
"I don't know, the navy..."
Although Li Guangli was stern, he agreed to score very happily.
"Can!"
"I believe that Shen Lin won't sell strategic materials such as fine iron and cement to the Liao people."
"Civil supplies can be exchanged for war horses, which is beneficial to our Great Zhou."
"I will send a command to the navy."
"Relax the monitoring of the Lushui River estuary."
"But, as long as we encounter it, we have to get on the boat to check, and the smuggling boats are not allowed to run around."
Wu Qi was a little embarrassed.
The navy will not wait for the rabbit at the mouth of the Lushui River all night.
but.
If you get on the boat to check, don’t you scare the smugglers into chaos?
Li Guangli explained seriously.
“It’s getting colder.”
"Does the Liao people's light cavalry will use the name of smuggling?"
"Start a raid?"
"Wu Qi, we have to be careful!"
Wu Qi nodded to express his understanding.
"Then... OK, I'll tell them."
Li Guangli's mouth curled up.
"Are you worried that the navy will make trouble on purpose?"
"Relax assured."
"But, is the business done so big?"
"Brothers, you can't do it in vain, right?"
"A month...5,000 taels of silver!"
What's the thing?
I thought you were doing things impartially.
Five thousand taels?
It's simply a robbery!
Well!
OK, don’t the navy often eat black?
I can't afford to offend!
Wu Qi spread his hands.
“You should know the price of those things we have.”
"It's all about dumping at low prices."
“Where is such a big profit?”
"Mr. Li, at most every month."
"Two thousand taels!"
"Otherwise, we'd rather not do it."
"Anyway, we don't have to worry about selling our goods!"
Li Guangli smiled rare.
"You can't hide it from me. Chen Lin is rich now."
"We must definitely expand the cavalry vigorously."
"Where did he get a large number of war horses without smuggling?"
"This is how it goes!"
"How about giving me a compromise. Every month, I will give me 100 war horses?"
Wu Qi secretly complained.
Li Guangli has a good plan.
Since he assisted in defense and stability, the navy has trained day and night.
The hundreds of miles of Huanglong River he was responsible for were twice the patrol density.
On the contrary, the scope of activities of smugglers has been repeatedly compressed.
Not everyone has the same face as Wu Qi.
How many of those smugglers dare to face the black-faced god Li Guangli?
What if a sheep enters the tiger's mouth?
Therefore, it is already difficult to see war horses sold in Anding Mule and Horse Market.
Even if you occasionally encounter three or five horses, you will be snatched away.
The price has more than doubled.
Of course, if Chen Lin and Wu Qi opened up a smuggling channel.
Barter on both sides.
The ordinary war horses I got were only twenty or thirty taels per horse.
But after giving it to Li Guangli, he changed hands to Mule and Horse Market.
It can be sold for 50 or 60 taels of silver, and it is very popular.
Half a day's price.
What is the difference between someone who wants one hundred war horses and collecting five or six thousand taels of silver?
Forget it, who asked Li Guangli to control the Huanglong River waterway?
No one can make this money.
Wu Qizhan smiled.
"make a deal!"
Li Guangli continued to focus on handling official documents.
"Go out and turn left and get twenty green flags."
"Not giving!"
Wu Qi walked out of the military camp with a small green flag of a pocket of ruler and a half long.
He was a little moved.
One hundred taels per flag?
If we give dozens of war horses, can we change more?
Forget it, let’s take a look first!
Twenty sides are enough for eight families to get one point.
So what if a ship has a green flag?
Li Guangli did not specify the displacement and load capacity.
A three hundred dan Clippers can.
A transport ship of three thousand dan is also OK.
As long as you can enter the Lushui River, you don’t need to worry about anything else.
What's the business of losing the road?
If we can do it three or five times, we will make a lot of money.
Wu Qi is also good.
Chen Lin is also good.
The demand for money and food is not so urgent.
What they need is a war horse.
Of course, living cattle and sheep can also be raised, the more you get better.
The weed beach is vast, with millions of acres.
There are too many swamps and sirs inside, and there are also many poisonous snakes.
It is not appropriate to raise cattle and sheep.
Go back to mow the grass and keep it in captivity!
That night, it was as dark as ink.
Even the shadow of the crescent moon cannot be seen.
The stars in the sky are dazzling, but they cannot make the night bright at all.
A sentry stationed in the East City Wall rubbed his eyes.
"Flaghead, look!"
“There is light in the river!”
A monocular telescope pops out of the window at the city wall.
Liang Yu, the official of the small flag of the whistle, saw from the light that it was a dark shadow of a large ship.
The closer you move.
"Grandma, it's midnight, where did the night sailing ship come from Lushui River? At least a thousand dans!"
"Aren't you afraid of stranding?"
Deputy Banner Chen Xi took the telescope and counted.
"Six...six ships!"
Of course he knew that it was not his own iron shed boat.
The four iron shed ships in Lushui are almost never sailing at night now.
Stopped on the pier.
"Lao Liang, didn't the boss say that any smuggling ship would come?"
"It's not right, I just brought the letter back in the afternoon."
"Why did it come in the middle of the night? It's impossible to be so fast, right?"
Liang Yu was cautious and authentic.
"No matter what, you can stare first."
"Let's go and notify the next two guards and the Ministry of Households!"
If it is a smuggling ship, everyone will naturally be happy.
If anyone is blind, he dares to attack our Tiecheng.
Humph!
Fuck it!
