Fuchar had more than a dozen sons, eight of whom were adults. Botai, the eldest son, was also favored, but all the other sons were also smart and capable.
There is no custom of eldest son inheritance on the grassland. The usual custom is that everyone has a share. As for who gets more and who gets less, it depends on each person's ability.
Nowadays, the most favored son is undoubtedly Botai, and several million taels of silver are given to him for business. You must know that this amount is already equivalent to half of the assets of the Fucha tribe.
In order to compete for favor, several other sons did not hesitate to raise money from their mother's clan to invest in the tobacco contract. Whenever they achieved success, their father would take a high look, so that Fucha Botai would not be too good at it.
This time, the brothers from the Fucha tribe have a lot of tobacco leaf contracts in their hands. The situation is different this time. If they can keep it until next year, the price will definitely increase.
Although they haven't received the money yet, the sons of the Fucha family are already very proud, and even Fuchardo is feeling a little elated.
All of his eight sons are very capable. When the money comes next year, the Fucha family will surely become the first family in the grassland. As for the Essien family, there will be nothing left except their name.
The day when my Fucha family will dominate the grassland is not far away.
As the price stabilized and everyone stopped, basically no one would release the contracts in their hands, and Yang Xuan no longer had to keep an eye on this matter.
But chaos broke out on the grassland again.
The Fucha family is expected to earn a lot of money next year, so they are starting to do other things now.
If you want to successfully buy off those tribes that were originally attached to the Essien family next year, you will not only have to pay for them yourself, but you will also have to make it impossible for the Essien family to come up with the money.
The Essien family trades with the Dasheng Dynasty and earns a lot of profits every year, so the Fucha family wants to disrupt the market and cut off this trade.
As a result, many horse bandits appeared on the grassland.
These horse bandits cover their faces and come and go like the wind, killing people and selling goods. Whether they are prosperous merchants or merchants on the grassland, they will kill them when they encounter them.
The horse bandits did not kill them all. There were always three or two people left in a trading team to let them come back to report the news.
In three days, the horse bandits intercepted and killed more than ten caravans. After that, no one dared to set foot on the grassland again.
Sosna, who came after hearing the news, turned pale. It was obvious that he was well aware of the consequences of this incident.
"Prince Sosna, you have to give us an explanation for this matter." In the lobby of the Commerce Department, Yang Xuan said unceremoniously: "You said you would protect the safety of the caravan at the beginning, but what about now? Three
In a day's time, more than seventy lives were lost, and goods worth nearly one million dollars."
Sosna wiped his sweat and said: "This matter is not simple. There are no such vicious people on the grassland. The other party is obviously doing this to disrupt trade."
"I don't care what the reason is. First of all, you have to give me an explanation. Secondly, you have to give me a solution." Yang Xuan said: "Seventy-eight human lives must be paid with blood."
"Brother Yang Xuan, don't worry, I am on the same side as you on this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Then what's your solution?"
"We have dispatched ten thousand cavalry, divided into one hundred teams, to patrol the trade routes to protect the safety of the caravans."
"The grassland is vast, and just this few people are simply not enough. There are more than a hundred caravans going to the grassland every day." Yang Xuan said, "Besides, those horse bandits come and go like the wind. They will hide when they encounter patrolling cavalry.
Kill any caravan that falls alone, your plan is not reliable at all."
"This..." Sosna pondered and then asked: "Does Brother Yang Xuan have any clever ideas?"
Yang Xuan pondered for a moment and showed a fierce expression: "Kill to stop killing."
“How to stop killing by killing?”
"Who do you think did this?"
"No need to think about it, it must be the Fucha tribe."
"That's enough. Any Fucha tribe that is alone on the grassland, or those that are closely related to it, will be exterminated."
"hiss……"
Sosna took a breath of cold air. This Yang Xuan was always smiling, but he was also a decisive and decisive leader if he really got into trouble.
"This won't work. The Fucha tribe is worried about not being able to find an excuse to start a war. If they really do this, I'm afraid they will soon raise their troops to fight to the death with our Essien family."
Yang Xuan glared at him and said, "Why are you panicking? I didn't tell your people to take action?"
"What do you mean?"
"I am going to recruit a revenge death squad to go deep into the grassland to intercept and kill the Fucha tribe members."
"Isn't this going to death? Don't underestimate the Fucha tribe. They are very powerful. As long as you do this, you will immediately face their encirclement and suppression."
"So I need you to provide me with information. As for the rest, I don't need you to worry about it."
Sosna frowned and thought: "Then what kind of death squad are you talking about? How large is it?"
"It's not clear yet, but there won't be more than two hundred people at most."
"Less than two hundred people?" Sosna's eyes widened: "You are really asking for death. Do you know how many people there are in the tribes on the grassland? Generally speaking, there are thousands of people in the tribes. On the grassland, people
We are all cavalry, what use can your two hundred men do?"
"I've already told you, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just send troops to patrol as usual and provide me with information." Yang Xuan said, "Even if your cavalry sees them being chased by people from the Fucha tribe, don't worry about it.
"
"Since you have said so, what else can I say?" Sosna said, "I will provide you with another two hundred good horses."
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
It has been four or five months since Dong Tianbao arrived outside the customs. Every month they recruit a group of personnel for training, a total of five groups, totaling 500 people.
However, in each batch, only those who are qualified will be retained, and those who are eliminated will become reserve members, responsible for managing the daily security of Tumu Fort.
This elimination rate is still very high. After more than four months, it is estimated that only a little over a hundred people will stay and become official team members. And now, the fifth batch of personnel is still being trained, so Yang Xuan doesn't know yet.
How many qualified personnel are there?
Arriving at the training camp, he heard shouts coming from a distance, and Yang Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
"The Tao is Tao! It's very Tao! It's famous! It's very famous!"
Every sentence of the Tao Te Ching was shouted out with such force and force that it seemed as if it could pierce the sky.
This Dong Tianbao is really a good hand in training troops. With just a hundred people, he can train the momentum of thousands of people.
Dong Tianbao saw Yang Xuan, ordered the disbandment, and came to Yang Xuan.
"Have you heard about the recent interception and killing of caravans on the grassland?"
Dong Tianbao nodded, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"I'm going to let you take the team members to do something about it. Do you have the confidence?"
"have!"
"You don't even want to ask what exactly you are doing?"
Dong Tianbao smiled slightly: "We train day and night for the purpose of killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds. Why do we still need to ask?"
Yang Xuan nodded: "It's good that you have this consciousness, but I don't know what those people under you think. After all, this is a life-threatening matter, and it is very likely that you will never come back."
"Isn't that why I spend money to support them on weekdays?" Dong Tianbao said: "I do a lot of ideological construction on weekdays."
"Not bad, not bad. I also know how to build my thoughts." Yang Xuan praised: "Then this time it's up to you."
