"What are you doing, warrior?"
What happened the night before finally spread to Qinggu Tun, the Beidian patrol camp was transferred, Niu Zhang's whereabouts were unknown, and it affected everyone's confidence.
What’s the point of making more money when your life is at risk?
He was timid and was already preparing to leave, thinking about the details of Wu Dynasty's war against the Jurchens before coming back.
The bolder ones also began to unite, hoping for further information to ensure the follow-up arrangements for their caravans this year.
As a result, the trading volume plummeted that day, and only eight or nine contracts were confirmed to be traded in the entire day.
There is nothing anyone can do about it.
The only thing the market can do now is comfort, and before the market closes, an announcement is posted on the bulletin board.
From now on, the trading market provides paid security protection, and any caravan individual can apply.
The personnel consisted of cavalry guards and armed guards subordinate to the Futures Yamen, supplemented by soldiers from the north.
The defense scope covers seven counties in the northern part of Wu Dynasty.
For hiring units, the cavalry has an average of five taels per day, the general armed flag has an average of three taels per day, and the 30 soldiers have an average of 2 taels per day. Each caravan can be freely combined according to its own situation.
…
As soon as the announcement came out, the effect was explosive!
The caravans of various countries have certain defense capabilities, and they have established various connections in their own areas. Without these preparations, going out to do business is tantamount to death.
Now everyone is frightened, not because of the spread of the war. After all, Yuyang is still separated from Guangchang by Zhongshan. Zhujun, Guangyang, and the Jurors of the Jin Kingdom really appear in Guangchang. They will be frightened waiting for them, but they will directly run for their lives.
What the caravan was afraid of were those who would cause trouble. What they were afraid of was that after the Beidian Patrol Camp left, the prairie horse bandits would cross the unguarded border and appear on the trade road.
They know their own situation, and with the power they have, they can defeat the third-line soldiers and bandits of various countries. The second-line soldiers and bandits who have seen blood are just a piece of food for them, and they are also very delicious.
But now that the Futures Yamen provides protection, the situation is completely different.
The Wu Dynasty's individual combat qualities were on a par with all forces in Kyushu. There were two guards under the Futures Yamen. Although the cavalry guards were on the second line, they could compete with all the grassland departments on the grassland. The armed guards They were simply selected from the Gyeonggi garrison. The short legs might not be able to outrun the grassland horse bandits, but once the number of people increased, there would be no problem in defending.
If these people came to escort them, as long as they did not encounter three times more horse bandits, the goods might be lost, but their lives would definitely be saved.
More importantly, by hiring this group of people, any difficulties you may encounter on the road will disappear.
This deal is totally done!
…
"It's cruel enough!"
Shares and real estate were acquired one after another. Even if nothing happened, many leaders of large caravans also wanted to leave.
After all, it is not a problem for the backbone to stay in the Northland all year round.
Come here in person, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of the market. If you have a clear market assessment and understand the rules and gameplay, you can naturally leave the future matters to your confidants.
There is absolutely no need to show up. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home?
"What a big deal the Wu Dynasty has done. The North Palace patrol camp has all gone to the east. If nothing else, the Yuyang War may be over!"
Shen Qingquan was not stupid. He had felt that there were some problems with the Wu Dynasty's battle before, and he was looking for explanations, but after all, he felt that something was wrong.
Stupid people, when they hear that the patrol camp in the North Hall has been transferred, they will at most think of themselves.
But Clever saw the courage of the Wu Dynasty in this round and looked for history. Whenever this kind of courage appeared, it was often the time when the Wu Dynasty was preparing to fight and pacify it.
"If you really want it, it's over. I may come again in October, but that time I'll take the land route!" Yan Shisong agreed.
The shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty have long been mature. Even when most Han people were still at risk at sea, the great merchants of the Ming Dynasty were already using ships more when traveling.
Even if there are risks in coastal navigation, the loss is only cargo, and it is difficult to lose people.
If the Jin Kingdom had not taken action against the enemy, there were uncertainties caused by the war in the Bohai Bay, and grain ships were the key to Ming-military cooperation, they would not have gone north by land.
"Next time we come here, we should definitely take the sea route. It will be difficult to transport the mutton back without taking the sea route." Shen Qingquan nodded, "I will go all at once this time."
"Let's go together, but hire more people. Even if there is no accident, the chances of hiring warriors to serve as soldiers are very few!"
No matter how rich a businessman is, he will not be looked down upon by the ruling gentry and aristocratic families of various countries, as long as they are limited by the traditions of the Han people.
No matter what happens, it will not be their turn, and they are protected by a country's regular soldiers.
Now you only need to spend a little money to enjoy it. Now that you have a sense of security, you can go back and enjoy it. Yan Shisong doesn't think there is anything wrong with spending the money.
"That's what I thought too!" Shen Qingquan laughed.
…
"It's so damn good. I'm making all this money, but I'm not giving you any chance!"
Compared with the acceptance of most people, people in the Song Dynasty felt like eating flies.
It wasn't that they wanted to do anything, but the North Palace's abnormal mobilization of troops foreshadowed the end of the war between the Wu Dynasty and the Jurchen Kingdom of Jin.
This war is really going to end the Wu Dynasty. Do they still have a chance in Hexi?
The Wu Dynasty could not afford to fight on two fronts, but on its own, the Wu Dynasty could handle it with ease, at least without too much pressure.
In addition, they now know about work-for-relief, the eight-level worker system, and the futures market.
You don't need to think too deeply to know that the Wu Dynasty will develop at an eye-catching speed in the next few years.
Yan Ziying let out a long sigh, "Don't think too much. The war will never end so easily. On the contrary, now, we need to bring the news back to the country as soon as possible!"
The changes in Wu Dynasty in the past six months are really confusing.
"Then we need to hire someone?"
"Hire it!"
I feel uncomfortable and want to cry. If possible, the people of Song Dynasty really don't want to hire warriors, but if they don't hire them, it makes people uneasy.
…
"You're laughing so hard, sir, you didn't see the Song people's expressions. That look is worse than eating shit..." As he said that, Shang Zhong laughed again, "I can't do it anymore, I can't think about it, I just want to laugh when I think about it!"
In the heart of a warrior, he has never looked down upon the people of the Song Dynasty. Even if he took the Song Dynasty coins every year to maintain his own operation, he would not have any mood swings.
If the people of the Song Dynasty give it to me, I want it; if the people of the Song Dynasty don't give it to me, I don't want it either.
But the reality is that it is impossible not to take it, which really makes the warrior sick.
"Should we get stuck!"
Shang Zhong waved his hand. Although he didn't know what Nian Run's layout was in Yuyang, outsiders could guess it. How could Shang Zhong not understand it.
The Song people are rushing back now, don't they just want to spread the news home that the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom are about to be defeated and withdraw from the war?
So that Song Ting can react.
"No, if everything goes well, when the Song people leave the north, news of victory will come. No matter what kind of feedback the Song people give, it will be difficult for him to affect the Jurchen of the Jin Kingdom. Compared with rushing home, Yes, you should keep an eye on those who haven’t left.”
Civil strife is enough to destroy everything. The battle for the throne involves life and death, and no one will hesitate on it.
What Wu Dynasty needs is to break through, directly expose the internal contradictions, give both sides an environment that they cannot refuse, and then watch them fight and watch them fight.
The conflict of life and death between individuals may be alleviated, but the struggle between groups must end with the complete destruction of one party.
