"Thank you for the book borrowed by Situ. I will withdraw 1 million kilograms of grain and 500,000 copper from Situ's mansion to use it for one month's logistics scheduling... I will try my best to save money and food."
Hua Xi said seriously
"Well, I will immediately ask the warehouse officials to dispatch the money and grain to you. You and three other Sima, who assisted you in charge of logistics, must go to the warehouse to claim the money and grain. The four of them signed and sealed together, so that they can withdraw money and grain from the warehouse.
It is up to you to decide alone, and you don’t have to ask me for instructions on everything. In addition, every detailed account of money and grain must be recorded carefully. Every half month, I must send it to our Situ Mansion to file for filing. I will review it myself. After review,
Only then will the next batch of money and grain be distributed. If there are corruption, bribery and omissions, you will be severely punished and investigated to the end." Situ said seriously
"Yes, sir! The officials must handle the army's logistics support impartially, ensuring that every piece of money and food is not paid, bribes or omitted!" Hua Xi immediately responded loudly and loudly.
Hua Xi returned to the camp of the logistics army from Situ's mansion, and also obtained 1 million kilograms of food and 500,000 copper. Fortunately, Emperor Yan adopted Hua Xi's suggestion for currency reform - divide copper coins with different denominations, otherwise Hua Xi would not
I know how to carry 500,000 copper coins
As it turns out, as long as there are huge benefits, no matter how secret the news is, it will fly away like wings.
Hua Xi has not returned to the headquarters of the Logistics Corps, and various rumors in the city have long been flying all over the city.
"Hey, brother, have you heard of it? Our highness is now the Sima of the Logistics Corps. He has taken hundreds of thousands of copper coins from the chief to purchase combat materials."
"Wow, our tribe has made a fortune this time. There is so much money, just...hehe!"
"You idiot, does your highness have as short-sighted eyes as you!"
"What's wrong?"
"No matter whether your highness can benefit from it, the key is that we can benefit from it. We will immediately hoard supplies. When the price shortage is short, we will definitely soar. We will buy it for your highness. Wouldn't we make a big profit?"
"Mirely, it's so wonderful! Brother, you are so talented!"
"It's nothing, there is no future in this life! Let's treat you as a brother, and I will tell you this secret. Don't tell anyone else." After looking at the surrounding situation with the corners of my eyes, the man pulled the tribe members of the same clan.
When I arrived in a remote corner, I whispered: "I have some relationship with some brothers in the logistics corps. I can definitely sell them. Now I'm short of money to hoard supplies. We might as well raise some money together to do this. We must hurry up.
, if someone takes the lead, you won’t make any money.”
"Okay!" The younger man was overjoyed when he heard this, and his head kept lit like a chicken pecking at rice.
In just less than half a day, a large number of merchants and handicraft workshop owners rushed to the temporary headquarters of the logistics corps near the south suburbs of the city, almost stepping on the threshold of the camp, wanting to sell the various military supplies in their hands.
Materials
War requires huge military supplies. This is certain that Hua Xi is responsible for the procurement of military supplies. This is also certain. Therefore, as long as they sell the materials in their hands to Hua Xi, they can earn a lot of copper coins.
These shop owners and merchants are all full of confidence and will definitely be able to sell the items they have stocked up in their hands.
The logistics corps headquarters near the south suburbs of the city was crowded for a while, and it was very lively.
When Hua Xi returned to the headquarters of the Logistics Corps in the south of the city, all the owners and merchants rushed up like they had just taken drugs, shouting: "Mr. Sima, I have one here."
The battle bow is very good when fighting. I bought it for a good price. I guaranteed it to be cheap and 350 copper coins a pair.”
"Sir! Buy mine, little red medicine, 3 copper coins 1 pack"
"My, mine, and mine, sir - I have a lot of animal skins here to sell at the lowest price in the market today, only 8 copper coins per piece."
Around Hua Xi, dozens of strong men protected him nervously. Entering the camp, Hua Xi walked and listened to the quotations of these merchants, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
They all quoted market prices, both high and low, and even a little higher than the market prices, and many people shouted that there is no problem in itself, but the problem that Hua Xi was considering was a large-scale military procurement like this, one-time purchase
Can the quantity of thousands of goods be purchased at market prices? Isn’t that a joke? Not to mention the productivity of the Changyang tribe now, even if the modern government purchases it in government, it is extremely cheap.
Initiate tendering and procurement
Hua Xi did not make a statement on the spot, but entered the camp with dozens of soldiers in the form of a sturdy man.
After entering the camp, Hua Xi immediately ordered the commemorative officer: "Transfer to me and most of the military supplies: grain, herbs, and warehouses have only purchased wood and stone materials to build barracks and fortifications.
The bidding method is the lowest price and guaranteed quality will only be purchased. All other products are not allowed! A bidding will be conducted at noon three days later to purchase these two materials.”
After Hua Xi finished speaking, he explained the meaning of modern words such as "tender, bidding" and other words.
As soon as the news of bidding and purchasing supplies came out, the merchants' faces changed instantly.
"What! Only purchase wood and stone materials?"
"Oh my God!"
"Is the military supplies needed for the 50,000 army to go to the expedition only wood and stone? What should we do if the materials we stockpile?"
These businessmen who had already prepared for speculation and swinging were blushing. The stock of various materials they had hoarded was quite large. When they bought them, they had already spent a lot of money. If they couldn't sell them now, they would have to
All money is gone
It was precisely "I worked hard for decades and returned to before liberation overnight"!
Hua Xi hid in the camp bar and looked at the pain, entangled and despairing expressions of the merchants outside, and smiled in his heart: You are still a little tender when you are using the method of hoarding and refusing hands.
"It's all gone, don't block in front of the camp gate!" The soldiers at the camp gate drove away these extremely depressed merchants under the command of the sergeant commander.
After hundreds of merchants left the camp, the camp of the Logistics Corps suddenly became much cleaner, and occasionally you could hear the squeaking of insects from the wilderness.
Not long after Hua Xi entered his tent, three Sima, the subordinates, hurriedly flirted in the tent.
The three of them all heard the complaints from the driven merchants, and their faces turned pale. As soon as they saw Hua Xi, they said anxiously: "Sir, do you really only purchase stone ore and wood?"
"Have you really stocked up enough military supplies in the warehouse?"
"The money and food required by the 50,000 army is ready?"
