"Third Miss, you, how can you say that?" Guard Chief Zhao became anxious, "This subordinate really didn't do anything."
"I don't care~ I will say this unless he agrees to me~" Mei'er raised her head proudly and looked at Ma Xiaoquan provocatively.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, tugged his chin and said: "You little girl is still interesting, so I can go ahead and say it, but if I say it so directly, your parents might think I'm going too far~ So I have to make a condition, please bother me."
Miss, let me convey this to you~"
"Okay, you say~"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "My people are stationed dozens of miles away. If possible, I need all my people to come here~"
Upon hearing this, Mei'er shook her head and said, "This matter is really not something I can decide."
"So I need the help of Third Miss to notify~"
Although Mei'er doubted Ma Xiaoquan's motives, she thought again that even if his people came, there wouldn't be many of them. There are more than 10,000 people in this stronghold. Is it possible that they can't be destroyed? Besides, if they come,
If so, take off their weapons and see how they can still dance?
How could Ma Xiaoquan not know Meier's thoughts? He cupped his hands and smiled: "Then Miss Laosan will tell you~"
After Mei'er left, the head guard Zhao was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Lord Ulula~"
Ma Xiaoquan grinned: "Ulula should talk to me about this matter tomorrow~"
...
Early the next morning, as Ma Xiaoquan said, Ulula sent someone to call Ma Xiaoquan to discuss the matter.
Walking into the camp, Haida was also there. When she saw Ma Xiaoquan, Haida nodded slightly to him.
After exchanging polite words, Ma Xiaoquan sat down and his servants watched tea.
After taking a sip of tea, Ma Xiaoquan said: "I think the third lady has conveyed my thoughts to you two, right? I wonder what you two think?"
Ulula and Heda looked at each other, and the latter said: "What is your purpose?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Didn't I say it yesterday, we will unite vertically and horizontally~"
"You, you should be more than that simple~"
"Haha, Sister Heda is really smart. Yes, I do still want him~" As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Ulula. Ulula unfolded it and took a look.
He asked, "You show me this, do you want it? Take it from me?"
"You really understand me, I have exactly what I mean~"
"How can this be done?" Urula became anxious, threw the piece of cloth on the table, patted the table and said, "Do you know how expensive those things are?"
"I know, of course I know~ But we have already cooperated. You are my logistical support. If you don't give it to me, how can I conquer and regain Hongzhou? What qualifications do you have to compete with those in your clan?
"
"You!" Ulula pointed at Ma Xiaoquan, stamping her feet and gritting her teeth angrily. If Heda hadn't been there to dissuade her, Ulula would have wanted to step forward, grab Ma Xiaoquan's collar, and punch him twice.
After calming down for a moment, Ulula said: "I can give it to you, but you have to give me an IOU, and when you pay it back to me, you have to add usury (interest)."
"It's easy to say, but it shouldn't be too high~"
Ulula smiled playfully: "But you can't let me suffer too much~"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, then suddenly patted his head and said, "How about we set up a cooperative company?"
"What cooperation?"
"Company~"
"What is a company?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and said: "Anyway, we are cooperative officers. You are responsible for paying and I am responsible for contributing. In this way, wherever I fight, your caravan will follow me to ensure the normal supply of our supplies."
Under certain circumstances, I will also allow you to do business with my enemies~"
Haida covered her mouth and said after a while: "Isn't this making war fortune? This..."
"Well, in fact, you Qian clan do a lot of business in war property, right? I'm curious now, the money you circulate in Hongzhou is the same gold beads from the Black Qing Kingdom and the United Unity, or something else?"
Ulula said: "Hongzhou is special. Because there are too many tribes, the money in circulation is not the same. However, the gold beads of the Black and Green Kingdom and the United Nations are common in Hongzhou. It can also be said that the gold beads are universal~"
"This is easy to handle~" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said, "Let's start a currency war~"
"Currency war?"
"Yes, the money you have now, um, or how many gold beads can you exchange for it?"
Ulula and Hedda looked at each other and said nothing.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, what I need you to do is to try to convert all the money in your hands into gold beads. Why, because most of Hongzhou is barren, and most of the materials you need are obtained from the United Nations.
The Heiqing Kingdom got it, right?"
"Hmm~"
"Since it is the Heiqing Kingdom and the United Nations, then gold beads will definitely be needed to do business with their merchants~"
Ulula shook her head: "I don't understand what you mean. Even so, it's impossible for me to receive all the golden beads~"
"Then you activate the connections you know and only accept gold beads. After all, most gold beads circulate in Heiqing Kingdom and United Unity. In Hongzhou, they are generally not circulated~"
"What's next?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Next, I will ask the King of Heiqing and my father-in-law, um, the unified king, to ask them to restrict merchants from Hongzhou. If they want to do business, they will only accept gold beads.
At that time, at least 30% of most of the gold beads that can be circulated in Hongzhou are in your hands. I will urge the merchants who come and go to do business with you as much as possible. This will form a virtuous circle. You will not only make money, but also get more.
Lots of gold beads~ When you have money, your tribesmen naturally don’t dare to look down on you. As for the money tribe leader you mentioned, maybe you have a chance to compete~"
When Ulula heard this, she was moved, but past experience told him that this kind of thing was very risky.
Ulula said: "Although this method is feasible, it cannot be done overnight. I think you are a bit trying to set the cake for me."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Everything is created from scratch. As long as you dare, nothing is impossible. Of course, to show my sincerity, I will also invest in our cooperative company."
"Buying shares? How to buy shares?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "What about the black and white writing on the paper, signatures and signatures, and each of us will keep a copy forever~ How about it?"
Haida said: "Then what if conditions are added later?"
"This is easy to handle. It can be added or deleted without harming your and my interests~"
"Okay~ when do we start?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't worry, I'll call my people here first and then talk~ Do you agree to this?"
Speaking of this, Ulula had no reason to reject Ma Xiaoquan anymore. He nodded and said, "Yes, but you must remove your weapons before entering my place."
"Of course~" Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands.
...
In the afternoon, the coalition forces (the King of Heiqing and the Tuwu tribe) arrived at the Qian tribe's stronghold. According to the previous regulations, all the soldiers took off their weapons and put them together uniformly.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Youcai, thousands of people entered Dazhai.
There were many Qian guards in the village, holding weapons in their hands, staring closely at the coalition forces, fearing that they would suddenly take out weapons from their arms and fight with them.
When they reached the main camp, the coalition forces stopped. Ma Xiaoquan walked out of the main camp and introduced his coalition forces to Ulula and Haida.
Facing the neat and orderly coalition army, Ulula's heart beat.
He originally thought that the army from the Heiqing Kingdom was a ragtag group of people, but what he saw today was completely different from what he imagined. He had not seen the determination shown by each of them for a long time.
What's even more frightening is that when these soldiers faced Ma Xiaoquan, their eyes were full of admiration. This kind of admiration made Ulula feel extremely envious.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Youcai stepped forward respectfully, lowered his head and said to Ma Xiaoquan, "The soldiers have been waiting for a long time. Did you think you didn't notify me?"
"Haha, how is it possible? You are all my family. How can I abandon you? Where is Princess Ting?"
Zhang Youcai scratched his head and said: "Someone was injured on the road. Princess Ting is being treated and will be there soon~"
"Well, she is indeed, let her go~" Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, turned around and introduced Zhang Youcai to Ulula.
After being polite to each other, Ulula said: "Your army has opened my eyes. I had some doubts at first, but now it seems that there is no problem in giving you that batch of weapons. It's just an agreement that we signed and pledged. When will it be signed?"
?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Don't worry, after my wife comes, I have to discuss it with her."
Ma Xiaoquan must discuss with Princess Ting, because he is not good at doing business, and Princess Ting, who has lived for more than a hundred years, is well-informed and should be better than him. After discussing with Princess Ting, they determined the terms of the agreement.
It should be the most appropriate thing.
Ulula was not afraid that Ma Xiaoquan would default on his debt. He laughed, clapped his hands, and immediately a dozen big men came up carrying boxes.
After putting it down carefully, the big men opened the lid of the box.
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes lit up when he saw what was in the box.
"Are these all genuine?"
Ulula nodded: "Absolutely genuine, I paid a high price to get this batch of goods~"
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, picked up one of them, and played with it a few times.
That's right, the boxes contained guns.
Although the structure of these guns is relatively simple, similar to the fire blunderbuss used by the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty, the workmanship is very fine, especially the wide area of the gun.
The gun has to be picked up every time it is pulled.
Ma Xiaoquan tried to load the gun and fired a shot at the trunk of a tree not far away.
With a "bang" sound, a tongue of flame erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and then a little white smoke rose from the tree trunk opposite.
"Good accuracy~" Ulula nodded repeatedly, "It seems like you are an expert?"
"Hmm~" Ma Xiaoquan simply hummed and asked, "How many iron marbles are there?"
