Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 238: Xuzhou Longxi Mutual Market Treaty
After receiving the gold and silver aided by the Mi family, Chutian considered supplementing the horses of Xiliang Tieqi.
A sizable heavy cavalry is essential.
Chutian gave priority to buying the horses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from the great lord of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is a long way from Langya Kingdom, so only teleportation array can be used.
From Langya to Luoyang, a horse costs 10 taels of silver, and to Chang'an and Longxi costs 10-20 taels of silver. As for the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the price is higher.
If you use the teleportation array to transport ordinary goods, you will definitely lose your money.
But using the teleportation array to transport good horses is hard to say.
A good horse can easily cost dozens of taels of silver or even hundreds of taels of silver. You can buy a fine Liangzhou horse without caring about the price of the teleportation array.
A region without a good horse production area is so passive, and the lord who occupies the horse production area can make huge profits.
In the past, Xia Liang was responsible for buying horses, but this time...
The lord of Liangzhou may not sell Liangzhou horses to him.
War horses are important strategic resources. On the premise that Chutian has a high probability of occupying Xuzhou, selling good horses to Chutian will undoubtedly boost Chutian's power.
The trading partner that Chutian thought of was Jiji Lao Qin, who has been ranked second in the Eastern Han region for the past two or three years.
The first national war was also under the command of Ji Jiu Lao Qin.
Jijiu Lao Qin may be Chutian's most strategic lord. After all, his life experience is richer than that of Chutian, a fledgling lord.
"You might as well try to contact Jiujiu Lao Qin and buy a batch of war horses from him. Although his territory is in Guanzhong, he should have quite a few Liangzhou horses in his hands..."
Chutian sent someone to contact Jiujiu Lao Qin in order to determine a trade treaty.
Li Xiuning specially came to visit: "Lord Lord, Miss Xia is awake. When she heard about the purchase of war horses, she thought that instead of signing a treaty with Jiujiu Lao Qin, she should be replaced."
"What does she think?"
"She thought that Jiujiu Lao Qin occupied Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was a rich place. Eight thousand miles of Qinchuan was enough to build a country. In the future, it would be a strong enemy for the world with the lord. Sign a trade treaty with Jijiu Lao Qin. , our excellent war horse is provided by him, and if it becomes an enemy in the future, it will be quite passive."
"I probably understand what she meant."
Chutian quickly understood.
The relationship between the first lord and the second lord is delicate. If there is a conflict with Jiujiu Lao Qin and the supply of excellent war horses is cut off, Chutian's high-level cavalry will be difficult to replenish.
"Take me to see her."
For this subordinate, Chu Tian's mood is very complicated.
As long as there are useful talents, Chutian will collect Xiacheng, even Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, and Luoyang Lefang's dancers have not let go.
Promotion is everything.
But over time, some people use it more easily.
Hua Mulan was also in the cool summer tent, holding a medicine bowl. Seeing the arrival of Chutian, she quickly got up: "My lord..."
As an independent individual, Mulan also has her own small circle, but her personal friendship with Xia Xian Liang is good.
It is not surprising that Chutian sees Hua Mulan here, and recently added a Li Xiuning.
As one of the three major civil servants of Langya Kingdom, if Xia Liang died in battle, many things would be difficult for Chutian.
For example, after winning Xuzhou, Chutian had no energy for foreign trade, and Fang Xuanling and Li Kui had limited knowledge of the outside world.
So Chu Tian felt angry after she was almost killed and stormed Tancheng for three days.
"We don't trade with Guanzhong. From what you see, where should we trade with the lord?"
As soon as Chutian arrives, he directly inquires about the Ma Shi trade.
The silver taels in this matter are worth more than 100,000 taels, and trading partners may become the source of excellent war horses for Langya Kingdom in the future.
Xuzhou can raise horses, but the quality of the horses is not high enough to equip low-level light cavalry or even ordinary heavy cavalry.
Not the high cavalry.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry must be equipped with Liangzhou horses.
Seeing that the two were discussing internal affairs, Mulan took the initiative to leave to avoid suspicion.
Xia Xia Liang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he learned that Chu Tian was asking about official business, but he still replied: "Why don't you consider the lord of Longxi? The subordinates have heard that the lord of Longxi occupies the horse-producing land, and they are the real Liang. The lord of the state. And the lord of Longxi will sooner or later be the enemy of Jijie Lao Qin. We bought war horses from the lord of Longxi, we got good horses, they got gold and silver, and they would use the gold and silver they got to recruit troops to deal with Jijiu Lao Qin. . This so-called "two birds with one stone" strategy."
"Lords of Longxi? I've heard of them. They supported Ma Teng as the leader of the Longxi Group, but they actually controlled everything in Longxi. They were the local emperors of Longxi. Because of their rule, Longxi was not known to the outside world. "
Chutian didn't pay too much attention to the lords of Longxi before, but only later did he gradually notice the lords of Longxi.
The lords of "Lord" have various development paths. Chutian's expansion is normal, and he climbs up step by step according to the official position of the imperial court.
There are also some lords who have taken a different approach, such as the lord who initiated the Yellow Turban uprising in Hanzhong, the lord who supported Yuan Shao in Jizhou and used Yuan Shao's reputation to recruit talents...
The lords of Longxi are a strange group of beings. They joined forces to rule Longxi County very early and formed a group of nobles.
In Longxi County, they said that they were one-of-a-kind, severely suppressed the original family, and replaced them as the local emperor of Longxi County.
In the entire Eastern Han region, it is estimated that few counties are the same as Longxi County.
Xia Tianliang continued to add: "We can not only use gold and silver to buy war horses from them, but also barter. We have sea salt, silk, tea, and indigo here, all of which are resources that Longxi County needs. Come, everyone can take what they need, and we will exchange special products for war horses at the lowest cost.”
"There is evidence, I will deal with the lord of Longxi, and there will be a way to buy war horses in large quantities in the future."
Chu Tian got up, and before leaving, he still said: "Next time, don't take risks easily, otherwise I can't find a second person who will make money."
"The Mi family can take over."
"It's not the same. The Mi family can make money from Xuzhou, but you can make money from the world. After conquering Xuzhou, start trade with Jiangdong, Liaodong, Gaoli, and Dongying."
Chutian already has a complete plan.
I didn't do overseas trade before because the basic capital of Langya Kingdom was not big enough.
The size of a Xuzhou is enough.
Xuzhou has several good ports, such as Xihai County and Qu County. Mi Zhu of Qu County could have become richer by relying on overseas trade.
Chu Tian left, and Mulan waited outside the tent, acting a little uneasy.
"Take care of Miss Xia during this time. If her injury worsens, please notify me."
Seeing that Mulan is here, Chutian simply let her take care of Xia Liang.
In addition to fighting, Hua Mulan is not proficient in other affairs. If something happens to Chutian, maybe she will be sheltered by Xia Liang, and the end will be better.
Didao, Longxi County, the lord of Longxi County received a request from Chutian for mutual market trade, and more than forty lords of Longxi were in private uproar.
"The number one Chu Zimou also knows about our local emperors in Longxi County?"
"It is reported that he lost a lot of horses in the battle of Xuzhou, and we can make a lot of money."
"It's too much to think about making a lot of money. He knows that he came to our Longxi lord to buy a good horse. It must be a trade-off. If we ask for too much, he may reach a mutual market agreement with other Xiliang lords." /
"I plan to go to Langya in person to negotiate a mutual market treaty. Our Longxi County just lacks oriental specialties."
"President, are you sure you want to go to Langya country in person? What if he detains you?"
"If he was a visionary, he wouldn't take action against me easily. Longxi is far from Xuzhou, and he wants me to restrain Lao Qin in Guanzhong."
After discussion among the lords of Longxi, one of them went to Xuzhou himself.
War horses are one of Longxi's specialties. The lords of Longxi can earn a lot of money every year by selling horses.
This time their trade target is the future Xuzhou animal husbandry. The number of war horses purchased from Longxi every year may be thousands, which means that the annual trade volume may reach more than 100,000 taels.
The annual trade of 100,000 taels is enough to move the lords of Longxi.
The representative of the lord of Longxi, Xu Fengnian, and Chu Tian took the lead in signing a teleportation formation treaty, opening the teleportation formation from Didao to Langya City.
The two sides deploy their troops in the teleportation arrays in their respective cities to prevent each other from using the teleportation arrays to sneak attack on each other.
Secondly, Xu Fengnian used the teleportation array to come to Langya City, and went to Tancheng in person to discuss the Xuzhou-Longxi Mutual Market Treaty with Chutian.
What the two sides exchange is valuables that can be exchanged using the teleportation array, such as war horses, silk, and salt. And bulk materials such as grain, iron ore, and wood are not worth it, because the price of the teleportation array is higher than their value.
Chu Tian was still besieging Le Yi below the city of Tan. At the same time, he instructed the kingdom of Langya to continue to operate and transport troops for the front line. In addition, Xue Rengui led an army of ten thousand people to pacify other counties in the East China Sea.
While besieging the city, attacking other county towns and taking down the counties of Donghai Kingdom one by one, Le Yi will be unable to fly.
"My lord, the lord of Longxi, on behalf of Xu Feng, came to see you a few years ago!"
Following the announcement of the personal soldiers, Chu Tian personally took Zhao Yun out to meet him.
A young lord turned and dismounted from his horse, and his movements were smooth, and he knew that he had been fighting on horseback for a long time.
He dismounted with him and a fierce general, holding an iron gun, majestic and arrogant.
“Isn’t this Wang Tiegun, the majestic Wang Tiegun from Hulaoguan?”
Chutian praised Wang Tiegun very much.
At the Hulao Pass, Wang Tiegun defeated Wen Chou, and the giants of Guandong were shaken. The impression on Chu Tian was even more shocking than that of Lu Bu.
I didn't expect Wang Tiegun to be under the lord of Longxi.
Wang Tiegun is undoubtedly a fierce general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, and he uses an iron spear to be superb.
Zhao Yun and Wang Tiegun looked at each other, the weapons of the two fierce generals were long spears, tit-for-tat against Maimang.
All kinds of weapons, the spear is king!
In Wang Tiebao's eyes, Zhao Yun is qualified to use a long spear and is a formidable enemy.
"As soon as I come to Xuzhou, you will miss my generals. How can I feel that I am at risk of being detained?"
Xu Fengnian muttered.
He is different from Chutian.
There are many generals under Chu Tian, and Wang Tiejian may not be at the top.
But under Xu Fengnian, Wang Tiegun is the best general, no one.
"I heard that you, the lord of Longxi, have set up Ma Teng, do you want Ma Chao to work for you?"
Chu Tian turned his attention to Xu Fengnian, a lord about his age.
Young means easy to be impulsive, but daring to work hard is also a kind of capital.
"Ma Chao will be ready to go into battle in two or three years. At that time, I will have Ma Chao and Wang Tiegun, enough to traverse Liangzhou and be invincible."
Xu Fengnian saw that his intentions were seen through by Chu Tian, there was no difference, but he remained calm.
Everyone knew that Ma Chao followed Ma Teng and held Ma Teng hostage, and the Ma Jiajun would fall into his hands.
"Meng Tian and Meng Wu of Jiujiu Lao Qin are not so easy to deal with, and he is more mature than us."
"So you want us, the lord of Longxi, to help you contain the old Qin Jiujiu? It's a good idea. You not only secretly supported the lord of Yanzhou to besiege Cao Cao, but also asked us to contain the second lord of the Eastern Han region."
"We have common interests, that's why we meet here. Jiujiu Lao Qin sits in Guanzhong, and Dong Zhuo's army is also in Guanzhong. They will not let go of Liangzhou's fat, you Longxi landowners are good There are not many years left."
Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes after hearing what Chu Tian said: "We are still discussing the matter of buying horses. How many horses do you want to eat? What rank? Light cavalry or heavy cavalry?"
Chu Tian stretched out a finger.
"One hundred horses?"
"A thousand horses in total for the gold-class heavy cavalry."
"Gold level, or a thousand horses..."
Xu Fengnian was shocked when he learned how many horses Chu Tian wanted.
Chutian wants to set up a thousand-level iron cavalry in Xuzhou?
Xu Fengnian's quotation: "We have the excellent war horse you want in Longxi, one 105 taels of silver, plus Didao's teleportation array to Langya Kingdom 15 taels of silver, one thousand good horses are 120,000 taels of silver. "
"As far as I know, the cost of horses produced in Longxi is much lower than in Guannei. In Longxi Horse City, such a war horse is only 90 taels of silver, and the cost of war horses kept by Brother Xu's own horse farm is even lower. And I buy them in large quantities. , in the future mutual trade, Brother Xu is not kind.”
Even if Chutian receives the financial support from the Mi family, he will not lose his family easily.
Even if you save a few hundred taels of silver, you can pay hundreds of soldiers a month's pay~IndoMTL.com~ I didn't expect you to know the price of horses in Longxi. We can discuss the specific price. "
After some negotiation, Chutian and Xu Fengnian finally decided to buy 1,000 horses at a unit price of 85 taels and deliver them within the next six months.
The first batch of 300 war horses will be delivered to Chutian within a month, with the money and the horses.
The gold and silver for horses can be replaced with the equivalent of sea salt, silk, and tea.
Xu Fengnian obtained sea salt, silk, and tea, and sold them in Longxi, and he could make a lot of money, so he also supported barter.
The two parties have agreed that they will trade in each other for a long time in the future.
After signing the mutual market treaty, Xu Fengnian said: "I heard that you have a civil servant here who understands the economy. It happens that we lack such talents in Longxi. How about I exchange 10,000 taels of silver with you?"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes: "How about I buy you a king iron gun with 10,000 taels of silver?"
