Because they were besieged by Tiefu Tu last time, Yang Xuan decided to transfer Dong Tianbao and the others over, and they would leave after the security company arranges a handover after the year.
The security company at Ying Tianfu is already on track. Even if Dong Tianbao is not in charge, there will be no big problem, and Yang Xuan is not short of money.
After all, the main purpose of forming a security company was to build his own private armed force.
It's not convenient to make a big show of things in Yingtian Mansion. Everything has to be done secretly. But it's different here in Tumubao. Basically, he has the final say.
Lu Jian and his troops had already been stationed further north, because that was the real border of the Dasheng Dynasty. As for the opinions of the Prairie Royal Court, Yang Xuan had already rejected them.
Yang Xuan's excuse was very simple. It was the last time Tiefu Tu besieged Tumubao. Besides, their prairie pearl was still here, so what else could Sosna say.
Sosna came to Tumubao and apologized to Yang Xuan, but still left Lizhu in Tumubao.
Although he did not disclose any information, Yang Xuan could also analyze that the Essien family was probably in a critical situation this time, otherwise how could the majestic Lord of the Grassland not even be able to protect his niece.
Along with Dong Tianbao, in addition to the twelve outstanding figures he trained personally, there was also Qin Laohan.
Now the three auspicious treasures are gathered together again.
When everything was ready, Sanbao Security Company, the Guanwai Branch, was established.
The branch has an office in Tumubao and a R&D and production department in the factory. In fact, there is nothing to research and develop. Qin Laohan knows nothing but making gunpowder. Judging from the current technology, he can do nothing but make gunpowder.
Nothing can be done except Mjolnir.
Of course, the most important thing in this place is the production of steel arm crossbows. Crossbows made of high-strength steel with a certain degree of elasticity have amazing range and power.
As for the recruitment of personnel, it was even more convenient. Those coolies heard that they could get one tael of silver a month, which was so exciting that Dong Tianbao carefully selected a hundred people, all of whom were strong young men under the age of twenty.
There are Sheng people and prairie people.
Yang Xuan told him that in addition to military training, ideological education should also be emphasized to make them loyal to the company.
Dong Tianbao should still be competent in this regard.
In fact, this security company is just a cover. Just like when he was in Yingtian Mansion, he just wants to establish an armed force of his own.
The truth is only within the range. This sentence is not just rhetoric.
If Tiefu Tu had captured Tumu Fort, the situation now would be completely opposite.
Will Da Sheng send troops to attack the grassland?
Will the Essien family go to war with the Fucha tribe?
No.
Even now, it is not Lu Jian who is stationed on the border, but the prairie cavalry cruising around.
And it is very likely that they are the cavalry of the Fucha tribe.
But now, what the Fucha tribe has to worry about is not the lost iron pagodas, but how to prevent the development of the Essien family.
After a period of speculation, the price of each tael of tobacco leaves has risen to 26 taels of silver.
Yes, when Yang Xuan arranged for someone to withdraw the order contract at a price of twenty taels, everyone went crazy. No one cared whether anyone could afford the tobacco leaves at this price.
What they see is the profit from the subscription contract changing hands.
The current market situation is that as long as someone is willing to ship, someone will immediately be willing to pay to take over.
The Fucha tribe naturally noticed the unusual price of tobacco leaves. They didn't care at first. Even if the price increased to fifty taels, those who could afford it could still afford it.
What caught their attention was Furong Xing.
Without much digging, they knew that Furong Bank was the property of the Essien family.
While Liqunhang's contracts were flying all over the place, Furonghang's contracts were motionless.
Anyone with a contract in hand refused to ship. The more they refused to ship, the higher the price went, rising from twenty-six to twenty-seven, then to twenty-eight, until thirty taels.
Those holding the contract were shaken, and some began to ship goods.
Nowadays, there is a large group of people squatting at the door of Liqun Hang all day long. After all, compared to Furong Hang, Liqun Hang’s waistband is looser, and from time to time, some order contracts will be released.
And even if Li Qunxing persists, the group of people at the door basically all have contracts in their hands.
Whenever the price reaches a certain level, someone will be tempted to take action.
When no one sells, Liqunhang will release part of the goods, and then they will be snapped up. After the rush, the price will stabilize for a period of time, and then Liqunhang will increase the price to recycle it. As soon as he recycles it, the price will start again.
rise.
When the price rose to thirty-five taels, the people of the Fucha tribe could no longer sit still.
The price of one tael of tobacco leaves is thirty-five taels of silver, and Furonghang has a full 10,000 kilograms of tobacco leaves in its hands.
That's 3.5 million taels of silver.
If the Essien family makes such a huge sum of money, it will undoubtedly have a big impact on the Fucha tribe.
The Essien family only needs to spend money to win over many tribes that are secretly leaning towards them. After all, the influence of the Golden family is not comparable to that of the Fucha tribe.
Such a large amount of wealth could not be easily monopolized by the Essien family, so the Fucha family began to take action.
In the beginning, they could only earn a small amount from the contracts released by the banks. Later, they realized that something was wrong. This would only push up the price, and the Essien family would just make money.
So they finally decided to attack Furonghang.
The shopkeeper of Furong Shop is from the Essien family. How can we get these contracts from him?
Just one way, buy it.
Anyway, this is not the first time they bribed people from the Essien family.
Tumubao and Furonghang were originally engaged in the business of buying low and selling high. Because of the tobacco leaf ordering contract, Furonghang attracted a lot of attention.
But because they had never released a contract for even one or two tobacco leaves, the attention gradually faded away.
On this day, a big customer came to Furong Bank.
The person who came was dressed luxuriously and was followed by more than a dozen guards. At first glance, he looked like a noble on the grassland.
As soon as the big customer entered, the guards behind him blocked the door of Furong Branch.
It took a full two hours before the big customer left with his guards.
Then the news came out that all the tobacco leaf contracts of Furong Bank were forcibly bought by that big customer.
Most of the people staring at these contracts were grassland businessmen, and those with a sharp eye would recognize that the so-called big customer was a member of the Fucha tribe.
Rumors, once spread, will generate various versions.
It is said that the Fucha tribe threatened the lives of Furong practitioners before they forcibly bought those contracts.
It is also said that those contracts were only sold for thirty taels.
There are also rumors that the shopkeeper of Furong Shop has secretly taken refuge with the Fucha family.
In short, rumors are flying everywhere, and only Yang Xiao knows that the Fucha family is bleeding heavily this time.
Not only did they take away the contracts at a price of thirty-five taels, but they also gave the shopkeeper of Furong Bank a large amount of benefits, a total of three hundred thousand taels.
Naturally, the shopkeeper of Furong Branch would not dare to take this benefit fee into his pocket, so after all calculations, the Fucha tribe had won the contract at a price of thirty-eight taels.
