Yan Qi was shocked deep in his heart.
What is the concept of 70,000 stone meters?
One stone is one hundred catties.
Seventy thousand shi of rice is seven million kilograms of rice.
A granary in Dahua Du Grain Division can store one million kilograms of rice.
Seventy thousand stone rice is equivalent to seven granaries.
What is the use of buying so much rice?
Bata sighed: "Mr. Yan, you don't know something. It's snowy and windy in Turks this year. The grass and trees are covered. The life is really difficult. The herdsmen are so hungry that they even eat snow and dirt. Master Yan, these It’s a tragedy, I hope you can understand.”
Yan Qi nodded slowly: "It seems that it is really difficult, but we don't need 70,000 shi of rice, right?"
Bata looked embarrassed: "Seventy thousand stone meters sounds like a lot, but the Turkic population is extremely large, and the number is huge. If we divide it up, not many people can share it."
"Master Yan, we can make a calculation. It's cold in the north. One person eats three kilograms of rice a day, and seven million shi is enough to feed 70,000 people for a month. Hey, I can only give some relief and make good friends with our chamber of commerce. tribe, the rest of the tribes, they can figure it out on their own.”
After hearing this, Yan Qi's scalp seemed to explode.
My head is buzzing.
The information Bata accidentally released just now made Yan Qi break into a cold sweat.
Because, Bata said: One person eats three kilograms of rice a day.
There is a huge flaw in this sentence.
How can an ordinary person eat three kilograms of rice a day?
it's out of the question.
Can hold him to death.
So who is it that can eat three kilograms of rice a day?
the answer is:
soldier!
The standard ration for Turkic army soldiers: three kilograms of rice per person per day.
Because the Turks are not good at forming formations and rely on brave collisions.
This requires a lot of physical effort.
If you cannot replenish enough food, you will not be able to kill the enemy.
Moreover, according to the information sent back by Zhao Yulin, the army in northern Turkic Xinjiang happened to have three kilograms of rice per person per day.
Now, Bata's requirement for purchasing rice is three kilograms of rice per person per day.
How can this order of magnitude be supplied to ordinary people?
Yan Qi felt worried.
However, there was no trace of shock on his face.
Yan Qi had a gentle smile on his face: "Mr. Bata, besides food and grass, what else do you need?"
Bata said: "I still need 40,000 pairs of iron plows, 30,000 pieces of cloth, and 3,000 catties of Panax notoginseng grass."
Yan Qi was even more shocked.
He remained calm.
"Mr. Bata, what do you need 40,000 pairs of iron plows for? It's too much."
Bata said: "We also want to learn from Dahua and try farming."
"Oh, I want to try farming."
Yan Qi had a happy smile on his face: "I really appreciate it if you really want to learn farming. However, farming still needs seeds, and it also needs professional guidance. Without seeds, how can you sow seeds?"
"Oh, that's how it is."
Bata suddenly realized: "You still need seeds?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Want to buy some seeds? Seeds are very expensive."
Bata shook his head: "I don't have enough money this time. I'll buy some iron plows first, and next time I'll buy seeds."
Yan Qiyi laughed: "Mr. Bata, since you don't have enough money, I suggest you buy seeds first and then buy an iron plow next time. After all, seeds are more important, and iron plows are second."
Bata laughed: "It's better to take the iron plow back first. It's not convenient for me to store the seeds if I buy them back now."
"Oh, I see."
Yan Qi sneered inwardly.
Nonsense!
Are you lying to me?
If you really want to plow the land, why not buy seeds but an iron plow?
Absolutely impossible!
If Bata really wanted to farm, this would never be his choice.
What a joke.
Now that it is concluded that Bata bought the iron plow and it was not used for farming, then why did he buy the iron plow?
A question mark was drawn in Yan Qi's mind.
"Mr. Bata, what is the use of buying so much Panax notoginseng grass?"
Bata said: "It's freezing in the Turks, and it's extremely easy to get injured if you fall, so you need to buy more Panax notoginseng grass for backup."
Yan Qi asked again: "That's true, but do you only buy Panax notoginseng grass? Don't buy other herbs?"
Bata shook his head: "There are other herbs, but Panax notoginseng grass is missing."
"I see."
Yan Qi heard this.
It can be concluded directly.
Bata is complete nonsense.
What is Panax notoginseng used for?
It is used to treat bruises and muscle and bone aches.
It is also the best medicine for golden sores.
What is a businessman in Bata doing buying so much gold sore medicine?
If you want to say that you bought other medicinal materials together, that's fine.
However, you only buy the golden sore medicine.
That's nonsense.
Yan Qi summarized Bata's needs.
Seventy thousand shi of rice.
Forty thousand iron plows.
Twenty thousand bolts of cloth.
Three thousand pounds of Panax notoginseng grass.
Moreover, it can be concluded from Bata's speech and behavior.
Rice is not for pastoralists.
I didn’t buy an iron plow just for farming.
When buying medicine, you only buy panax notoginseng grass, which is a necessity for making golden sore medicine.
There is only 20,000 pieces of cloth. There is no doubt about it, but it is most likely that it was deliberately used to catch others.
Rice? Iron plow? Thirty-seven?
hehe!
Yan Qi had already made up his mind and asked Bata with a smile: "Do you need anything else?
Bata shook his head: "Nothing else is needed for now."
Yan Qi suggested: "Don't be so stubborn, Mr. Bata. You can definitely buy some fresh things, such as clothes from the Lin family, boilers from the two institutes of the Ministry of Industry, as well as various teaching equipment, exercise equipment, and women's equipment." accessories. Don’t worry, I can give you discounts on many items, and I guarantee you can make a lot of money.”
Bata shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness. I don't have so much money. Next time, I will definitely buy it all."
When Yan Qi heard this, his heart dropped completely.
He had been very unfavorable to Bata before.
After the test just now, not only did he not be optimistic about Bata, he even saw a lot of clues.
If rice is not supplied to ordinary herdsmen, it can only be supplied to the military.
Only the Turkic cavalry can eat three kilograms of rice a day.
Iron plows were not used for farming, but for smelting and forging weapons and armor.
Sanqi tablets are not used by herdsmen, but supplied to the military.
Only the military needs a large amount of gold sore medicine.
so.
Through these associations, dots are connected to form lines, and lines are connected to form surfaces.
One thing is certain.
Bata's purchase this time is entirely for military services.
But which army is so large and has good relations with Bata?
The answer is: Youxian Wang Yege.
Besides Ye Ge, who could make Bata, who had not been to China for five years, appear in the capital of China after traveling thousands of miles away?
nobody!
In particular, the competition between Yege and Moss for the position of Great Khan has become fierce.
Yege must show his strength by attacking Dahua, which is like a peacock spreading its wings, giving him more weight to seize the position of the Great Khan.
Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that Yege will attack Dahua.
However, although the Turks are tyrannical and have strong soldiers and horses, they have three fatal shortcomings that are difficult to overcome.
That is: food! Herbal medicine! arms!
