"Oh? My nephew is interested in sheep intestines and 18 pirates?"

Zhang Zhixiao looked at Yang Yuan with interest, trying to find some answers from his face.

For example, is this Yang Yuan himself interested in this or what does the Yang family think about the sheep intestines?

Although Zhang Zhixiao has not been here for a long time, he still has some understanding of the status of sheep intestines.

The Yang family also wants to get involved, but can't they do it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhixiao began to become serious, and at the same time his heart became somewhat calmer.

As we said in the last chapter, what people fear most is unconditional benefits.

Although Yang Yuan's words sounded beautiful and sincere, as a senior general of the Zhenbei Army, his mind was not that simple.

Now that Yang Yuan finally revealed his true thoughts, Zhang Zhixiao felt more relaxed.

I'm not afraid of your conditions. As long as you have needs, there will be interests between us.

If you put aside the relationship between Zhang and Yang, Zhang Zhixiao likes this kind of friendship.

He has too few friends, and friendship is very precious and rare for him.

To get Zhang Zhixiao's friendship, Yang Yuan still has a long way to go.

Fortunately, he took a shortcut, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to get in touch with Zhang Zhixiao.

There are not many people and families in Cangyang County who want to get on the line of Zhang Zhixiao, but until now, no one has ever heard anyone succeed.

Yang Yuan not only took a shortcut, but also got on a carriage.

"Uncle Shi, the Yang family is not interested in selling things to the grasslands, but they are very interested in buying things from the grasslands."

"If you don't sell it, will you buy it back?"

This is something Zhang Zhixiao did not expect.

In Shunguo, as long as they set their sights on this sheep intestine, they all want to sell things to the grasslands, and then earn real money, cattle, sheep and horses.

This is the first time he has heard of someone like Yang Yuan who wants to buy things directly from the grasslands.

"I don't know what the Yang family wants to buy in this barren grassland.

With all due respect, if you want to buy livestock and horses, you have no advantage over those who barter. "

Although this gold and silver is good, it can't fill the stomach, can't supplement the elements that the grassland people lack, and can't make the tribe stronger.

Therefore, when dealing with people in the customs, the grassland people prefer to barter, and even buy gold and silver.

If the gold and silver are gone, they can be robbed again, but if the livestock is gone, a tribe will suffer.

Yang Yuan also understood this truth, but let him tell the truth in front of Zhang Zhixiao, saying that he would let people exchange salt for the specialties on the grassland?

impossible.

Yang Yuan has already made up his mind that in front of Zhang Zhixiao, the Yang family will never harm the interests of the Dashun Kingdom.

"Uncle Shi, we all expected this, but there are some tribes who are thirsty for gold and silver."

"And even if we buy the goods at a higher price than others, we will still make some money when we ship them back to Shun.

It's just the difference between earning more or less. "

Zhang Zhixiao nodded when he heard the words. He knew that going to the Prairie Fair was very profitable, but how much he could earn, only those businessmen who participated in person and the people behind them knew.

Neither Zhang Zhixiao nor the Zhang family participated in the grassland trade, so he was not very clear about the tricks involved.

Then Yang Yuan put forward another idea, "And it's not impossible for us not to sell things to the grasslands at all."

"Oh?"

Zhang Zhixiao's eyes suddenly became sharp, do you want to see it?

But then Yang Yuan's words made his eyes return to normal.

"Uncle Shi, you know that both I and the State of Qi have traded with the grasslands. Why is the decree of the State of Shun State stricter than that of State of Qi?"

At this time, Zhang Zhixiao no longer regards Yang Yuan as an ignorant boy who only represents the Yang family.

Judging from his performance today, his ability to represent the Yang family may not have been pushed out, but won by him.

The result is the same, but the process determines the power.

After listening to Yang Yuan's question, Zhang Zhixiao said honestly, "I don't know."

Yang Yuan knew for a long time that Zhang Zhixiao would not care about this issue. He was the deputy commander of the Zhenbei Army and a general. China's smuggling to the grasslands.

This is also the basis of his own role. If Zhang Zhixiao knew everything, how could Yang Yuan lie? No, it is to cooperate with him.

"Uncle Shi's energy is focused on things in Pofeng Camp. It's normal to not understand these things. Let my nephew explain it to you."

"The area bordering the State of Qi and the grassland is much smaller than that of the State of Wushun, and the terrain is not as complex as that of the State of Ishun. It is not difficult to combat smuggling, but as far as I know, the scale of smuggling between the State of Qi and the grasslands has increased in the past ten years. The bigger it is, there is a faint trend of surpassing our country.”

"Oh?"

Yang Yuan's first news surprised Zhang Zhixiao, "Why is this?"

Ask if you don't understand. Zhang Zhixiao would not think that asking Yang Yuan a question is a shameful act.

Yang Yuan also responded positively to his question, which was exactly his purpose, "There are sheep, cattle, and horses in the grasslands. The Qi country does not have as many horses as our Shun country, and the cavalry is far less powerful than the king's tiger and leopard. Ride, so the number of horses needed is huge.”

Zhang Zhixiao vaguely understands that the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, which is normal, but where does such a huge outbreak come from?

Perhaps the royal family also participated in the grassland trade of Qi.

But aren't they afraid that the behavior of the enemy will make the steppe barbarians grow stronger and invade the south?

Zhang Zhixiao never believed in the credibility of the barbarians. After they got the benefits, they just wanted more, not gratitude.

Yang Yuan's next words made him clear his doubts a little, "Uncle Shi is wondering why Qi Guo dared to do this, not afraid that it will eventually lead to barbarian invasion?"

Before Zhang Zhixiao could answer, Yang Yuan answered on his own: "King Qi is not afraid that expanding trade with the grasslands will lead to the expansion of barbarians~www.wuxiax.com~ and he can't stop the expansion of trade, so he might as well join it. There are also huge benefits and a lot of horses.”

"Why is this?"

Zhang Zhixiao couldn't remember how many times this was the first question today. The news that Yang Yuan brought him surprised him.

"Uncle Shi knows that Qi domestically produces salt, and that the trade between Qi and the grasslands is mainly salt and salty goods. There are many tribes on the grasslands, and no matter how much salt flows in, it will not be enough, so there is no need to worry about the expansion of the barbarians.

Moreover, the huge interests attracted the attention of most noble families in Qi, so even the King of Qi did not dare to attack the grassland trade at will.

It's just that, for the sake of righteousness, the grassland trade cannot be put on the bright side, and it is still an illegal act. "

"I see!"

Zhang Zhixiao now understands the overall situation of the grassland trade in Qi, and the impact he receives is not small.

Yang Yuan had to sigh after analyzing this information from the intelligence he got, that the noble family of Qi and King Qi really knew how to play and lied to the three countries, but he was eating his mouth full of oil.

However, Yang Yuan is not optimistic about Qi's approach, and he knows the importance of salt.

If a person can't take enough salt for a long time, he will be weak in limbs, weak and sick, lose appetite, and his survivability and fighting ability will be greatly reduced.

According to Yang Yuan's plan, it is correct to sell high-end salt and luxury goods to the grassland.

No matter how well the barbarian nobles eat and how strong their bodies are, without strong warriors, they are just a piece of meat on the chopping block.

The state of Qi, on the other hand, sold a large amount of coarse salt to the grasslands, which was of great help to the barbarians of the grasslands.

At least it can make them add tens of thousands of strong soldiers every year.

Sooner or later, Qi will swallow the bitter fruit they brewed.
