In fact, there had been rumors in Zhangjiakou beforehand, and this was Hei Yunlong's deliberate move. Dorgon's life has not been easy recently, and the battle for territory between him and Huang Taiji has reached a critical moment. If a business comes to his door at this time,
Dorgon would definitely not refuse. During this period, Dorgon went on expeditions to other tribes and fought several battles in the savage tribes, but robbed a lot of good things.
For Dorgon, although he robbed a lot of supplies, they could not be converted into combat effectiveness in a short time, but a pile of ordnance could make his soldiers and horses stronger in a short time. Tie Mo had a lot of trouble with Dorgon.
The idea of trading is not a day or two, but naturally the more people are involved in this kind of thing, the better. There is no fear that Dorgon will not be able to check and balance after getting a batch of ordnance. Huang Taiji is not the kind of person to be easily defeated.
Lou Daji and others were sitting in the hall, talking to each other, and the conversation was very lively. About half an hour later, Tie Mo slowly walked in. When the real master arrived, Lou Daji immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Tie Mo, Superintendent Tie Mo,
Why don't you let the brothers wait? Tell me, what are you going to do this time? You don't know, General Man has a lot of good stuff there, just waiting for you to take it out."
Tie Mo couldn't help but rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more. Good goods? If the good goods are so good, can that guy still sell them out? Hey, since he followed the Shanxi merchants and reaped huge profits from the arms trade,
, this group of people also tasted the benefits, and they did not rush to destroy or scrap all the obsolete ordnance, but threw it all into the warehouse. Tie Mo also heard something, Chen Peidong, the deputy general under Man Gui, was the best at living.
All garbage is put in the warehouse, just waiting for the opportunity to dump it out at a high price.
Some of the knives were full of gaps and were in disrepair. It was said that they should be scrapped and reused, but Chen Peidong didn't do that. After convincing Man Gui, they painted the broken blades with oil and carefully stored them in the warehouse. In short,
, these people have saved a lot of goods, and are just waiting for this opportunity to make a fortune.
After sitting down, Tie Mo looked at Lou Daji and said with a non-committal smile: "Brother Lou, we brothers don't have to talk about those nonsense, right? If you have a bunch of good goods in your hands, then I have some in my warehouse.
It’s just a pile of gold bars. Besides, if it’s really good stuff, are you still willing to throw it away? To be honest, where did you get those crappy stuff? As far as I know, you had already sold out your inventory last time you traded with Dorgon.
Have you cleaned up all the junk?"
Being called a mother-in-law, Lou Daji coughed twice in embarrassment. Ma Fang and others around him burst into laughter, and they all stared at Lou Daji. Lou Daji couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to wave his hands and feigned anger:
"Okay, okay, what do you all look like? You are all one of our own, and I won't hide anything from you as brothers. Everyone also knows that our frontier army has had a hard time in the past few years. What's the benefit for the court to focus on Liaodong first?
, so we have to think of ways to eat and drink by ourselves. Ever since I got a lot of good things from Dorgon last time, I have remembered it in my heart, and I am not idle on weekdays, ordering the people under me to go.
The various ministries and guards inspected it and collected all the gadgets that were of no use. The Manchu soldiers also know about this, and there is nothing they can't say."
After listening to what Lou Daji said, Ma Fang and others all stared blankly. How dare they be like this? They already knew that Lou Daji had saved a bunch of things and spent a long time like this. Lou Daji was also shrewd enough.
If I didn't have any, I sent people to various health stations to collect the rags. The key is that I collected a lot of them. Hey, think about it carefully, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it?
Tie Mo also admired Man Gui and Lou Daji a little. They were so shameless in order to gain benefits. Various health stations had some obsolete gadgets, but could those gadgets still be used? Just those broken blades and so on.
It has been weathered for a long time, and I am really afraid that if I cut it with a knife, it will be cut into two pieces.
"Brother Lou, no matter what, we have to do a good job on the surface. If what we come up with is too bad, Dorgon will not suffer the loss." Tie Mo stared at Lou Daji and said something
Meaningful words.
In saying this, I actually hope that Lou Daji will save his face, go back and check it out, and throw away those really rotten and shameless junks. Who would have thought that Lou Daji stared at him and said with a mysterious smile: "Supervisor
By the way, my brother has thought of this a long time ago. A few months ago, the Commander-in-Chief asked a craftsman to polish it again and apply oil to make sure it doesn’t look that bad from the outside."
"..." Tie Mo took a long breath and could only respond with a wry smile. In order to sell the junk, Man Gui and Lou Daji took great pains. Tie Mo looked helpless, and Chen Peidong next to him
He was even more surprised. He thought that he was already good at living, but he never thought that General Lou Daji was even worse, actually doing so many things privately with General Manchu.
"Okay, everyone is on our own. Let's make a list of how many gadgets we have in hand and send them over in the next two days. But let's start with the ugly talk. After Dorgon suffered a loss last time, he probably won't allow us so much this time.
There are benefits, so profits are expected to drop this time."
Lou Daji and others actually knew it well. As long as they are normal people, they will learn a lesson after suffering a loss. It is too unrealistic to expect Dorgon to collect the junk at a high price. Ma Fang nodded at the table and smiled peacefully.
Said: "Don't worry, everyone knows this matter well. It is expected that Dorgon's price is low, but we have a large quantity this time."
Tie Mo stared and had a headache. When did these people become so good at doing business? They know a lot about cheating people with high prices and turning them into small profits but quick turnover. When there is no more war to fight in the future, they can all retire and start doing business.
.
This discussion went very quickly. Everyone was on their own, and discussing things was just a matter of process. When the matter was almost discussed, Ma Fang came closer and asked mysteriously: "Brother, after the freight comes, how about the delivery?"
To Hai Lanzhu or Miss Chang?"
There is a reason for Ma Fang to ask this. Nowadays, who doesn’t know that several women in the Moon Palace are not simple, especially Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue who are secretly competing with each other, and now there is another Xiao Ruxue. With such nonsense, everyone
You have to find out clearly.
Tie Mo thought for a while and said meaningfully: "Leave it to Hai Lanzhu. After all, Hai Lanzhu has always been in charge of things there. She knows some things better than we do."
Tie Mo said this, and Ma Fang and others understood in their hearts. As long as they determine who is the real master of the Moon Palace, it will be much easier to do things in the future. In short, no one wants to offend these two women, Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue.
Nowadays, all the prominent figures in Northern Shanxi are aware of the power of these two women. Most of the financial power in Northern Shanxi is held by Chang Minyue, and Hai Lanzhu is no less generous, holding a lot of government power and part of the financial power.
After the business talk was over, a simple banquet followed. A dozen people gathered at a big table, eating and playing, which was very enjoyable. After drinking for three rounds, Hei Yunlong touched his forehead and said: "Brothers, you
But you know something strange happened in Zhangjiakou recently."
"Oh?" Ma Fang knew something about Zhangjiakou. After thinking about it, he wondered: "A strange thing? But Bao Laohan's iron tree blossomed, which is another joy?"
When talking about the gossip, everyone in the group pricked up their ears, even Tie Mo was not immune. Seeing this, Ma Fang briefly told the story of Bao Laohan. Bao Laohan is a well-known rich man in Zhangjiakou. This year Just over sixty. However, this Bao Laohan is not a peaceful master. He married a concubine in his old age. Speaking of which, Bao Laohan is also very powerful. He actually gets stronger with age and is tired of staying in his concubine's room almost every day. Recently in Zhangjiakou To add more news, Bao Laohan worked hard several times, and his concubine turned out to be pregnant.
Some people suspected that the concubine had stolen someone, but in fact it was all nonsense. Bao Laohan doted on this concubine so much that he slept with her almost every night and took her with him when he went out. He wished he could tie his belt around his trousers. Go up. Therefore, the possibility of the concubine stealing someone is almost zero, and the child is the one who is keeping the old man.
Therefore, having a son in old age became a wonderful news in Zhangjiakou.
Tie Mo and others found it very interesting, but Hei Yunlong shook his head and said mysteriously: "Wrong, although what Brother Ma said is interesting, that's not what I'm talking about. Have you ever heard of paralysis? How can a person of ten years walk on earth in one day? Have you heard of an old man who has been blind for twenty years and suddenly sees the light?"
"???" Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all smiled and shook their heads. Chen Peidong said with a look of disbelief: "Brother Yunlong? We are all people who have seen the world. Do you think there are still people in the world?" Can such a thing happen? Unless there is a magic spell cast by a god, and a paralytic has been walking on the ground for ten years. It is nonsense."
Hei Yunlong nodded and looked a little more serious, "I know that everyone doesn't believe it, but this happened in Zhangjiakou. A few months ago, there was an expert from You Fang who called himself Wuchen Zhenren. He opened a practice in the market area of Zhangjiakou. It was said that it was to treat diseases and provide disaster relief. In full public view, a guy who had been paralyzed in bed for ten years was asked to get off the ground and walk. I asked someone about the paralyzed man and found out that he was from Zhangjiakou, and his family had lived here for many years. I fell down while repairing a house for others and became paralyzed. It was more than ten years ago. I can't do anything fake. There is also the blind old man who is also a resident of Zhangjiakou Nancheng, and the surrounding neighbors also know it."
"I don't believe in this stuff either, but I can't help but believe it. Everyone, do you think this is strange?"
"Strange, so strange." Ma Fang raised her hand helplessly. Everyone regarded this matter as an anecdote, but did not think about it in depth. Only Tie Mo frowned and remained silent for a while, not knowing. What are you thinking about? Hei Yunlong seemed to have some feelings. He drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Tie Mo nodded and said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, the Master Wuchen mentioned by Brother Yunlong is currently in my Zhangbei. Tonight, Shanghai Lanzhu also brought people to watch Master Wuchen cast spells. Hey, Brother Yunlong What I just said is okay if it’s fake, but if it’s true, it’s a bit scary, and we might as well have to give it some snacks.”
Ma Fang thought for a while and said seriously: "What do you mean by this? What if it is false? What if it is true?"
"If it's false, just take it as a joke, but if it's true, it's very scary. The paralyzed man recovered instantly, and the blind old man opened his eyes to see the light. Do you believe this kind of thing? I don't believe it anyway, If it happens, then there is a possibility."
"Then it must be a pretense. We just need to wait until Master Wuchen casts the spell and they will return to normal."
"You're pretending? It's not impossible, isn't it? It's not just one or two days, it's ten or twenty years... If what you said is true, then..." Ma Fang was suddenly stunned.
, he swallowed the next words. He suddenly thought that if what Tie Mo said became true, then this matter would not be as simple as cheating.
People pretend to be paralyzed for ten years and blind for twenty years. Such deliberate and long-term planning must have a far-reaching purpose. Many times, what is being planned is not as simple as money...
"Brother Yunlong, have you seen that paralytic?" Tie Mo asked seriously. Hei Yunlong nodded and said without thinking, "That's natural. When I first heard about such a thing, I didn't believe it, so I went to see it.
Look, that kid really stood up, just like an ordinary person."
"Huh? Are you sure it's no different from ordinary people?" Tie Mo smiled slightly, Hei Yunlong shrugged, and nodded seriously, "Of course, I am not blind, how can I see this wrong?"
"Hey, that's a big problem. Brother Yunlong, if you think about it carefully, he is a guy who has been paralyzed for ten years. Even if a real person can cast spells, it is impossible to be like a normal person. He is paralyzed on the bed.
Ten years, such a long time, his legs will definitely atrophy, and it will take some time to recover. How can he be like an ordinary person? If he is no different from ordinary people, it can only mean that he was not paralyzed at all before, it was all pretending.
Yes. Huh, this kind of thing is just a mystery to those who don’t understand it. Anyone who understands some medical science can see that this thing is not normal.”
"Yeah, it's not easy to say that Wuchen Zhenren is not simple. Damn it, Wuchen Zhenren started a practice in Zhangjiakou before, but there are countless believers. Many people regard his words as the truth. If this old guy talks about nonsense, wouldn't it be?
Is there going to be trouble?"
Hei Yunlong lost his joking attitude and became much more serious when he talked about business. Tie Mo, on the other hand, was very calm and said with a calm face, "Brother Yunlong, there is no need to worry. Soldiers will come to cover up the water and the soil. Northern Shanxi is our territory.
If some people want to make trouble, let them make trouble. If they don't come out on their own, it won't be easy for us to find them. If someone is willing to follow others to make trouble, we don't have to be polite. Those people will never understand.
, Such people are not bewitched by Master Wuchen today, and they will be bewitched by others tomorrow, so since they have made trouble, they have to pay the price, otherwise, how can they get a lesson?"
Hei Yunlong, Ma Fang and others gradually understood what Tie Mo meant. They were pretending not to know and secretly controlling them. If something really happened, many people would probably die. But no one would pity these people at this time. Some
If people don’t understand their lives, then teach them through blood and tears to make them understand. Northern Shanxi is now at peace and prosperity, and there are countless living people. Who do they rely on? They rely on the soldiers of the frontier army who sacrificed their lives, not the gods in the sky.
