"That's right. You just came back. You had to eat and sleep in the open all the way. Eating too much is not good for your stomach. Let's drink some porridge for today and make up for it with a good meal tomorrow." Liu Heng said in a gentle tone.
"Yes." Tan Zaiwang bowed.
In order to rush back to Lingqiu early on the way back from the grassland, he and the other two riders only ate some dry biscuits when they were hungry and drank cold water when they were thirsty. They did not have a stable meal along the way.
The bit of meat porridge he just drank made him feel much better.
Liu Heng walked back to sit behind the desk and asked in a calm tone, "Lao Wu asked you to come back first. Did you encounter any trouble on the grassland?"
Tan Zaiwang stood up and said, "My subordinates encountered a little trouble on the grassland, but they can be solved. The subordinates were sent back early, mainly because Bu Shitu Khan from Qingcheng promised to cooperate with our Tiger Character Banner and allowed Our convoy entered the grassland to trade with their herders."
"Sit down and talk carefully." Liu Heng motioned for Tan Zaiwang to sit down.
He didn't have high hopes for the team sent to the grassland this time, nor did he expect to be able to get on the line with Beilu at once, but he didn't expect that Lao Wu and Zhang Sancha would bring him such a big surprise.
Tan Zaiwang sat down and told the whole story about going to the grassland, including what he said when he saw Bu Shitu Khan, and what Bu Shitu Khan and Tai Jiru in the Khan's tent said. One repeated.
"Haha, okay, you have made a great contribution this time." Liu Heng stood up excitedly.
He did not expect that the Tan Zaiwang in front of him actually went to Qingcheng's sweat tent and asked Bu Shitu Khan to allow their Tiger Character Flag to enter the grassland for business and make such a big contribution to the Tiger Character Flag.
Although Bushitu Khan was only a great Khan of the Tumut Division, his status in the Mongolian grasslands was only slightly lower than that of Lin Dan Khan of Baicheng.
If the Destined Khan of the Mongolian grasslands is Lin Dan Khan, then the next highest-status one is the Bushitu Khan of Tumote. Even several tribes around Tumote are dominated by Tumote Khan, and even Tumote Great Khan The prestige can affect Mobei Mongolia.
If it had been during the Anda Khan period, the 30,000 households on the Mongolian right wing would have been stronger than the 30,000 households on the left wing in Baicheng.
Although there are great khans all over the grassland, they are all titles given by the Yellow Sect in order to win over various tribes. The only real great khans are Lin Dan Khan of Baicheng and Bu Shitu Khan of Qingcheng.
Until Tan Zaiwang left, the joy on Liu Heng's face was still on his face.
In his mind, the smuggling with the Northerners was much more important than the business going south to the sea.
Datong is not close to the sea. Although sea trade is more profitable, it is too limited for the Tiger Flag, unlike the grassland, which is a real benefit for the Tiger Flag.
After walking around the office a few times, Liu Heng sat back on his seat, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and then said to Zhao Wu, "Go and invite Deputy Director Li."
Li Shuheng lives in the same house, but no longer in the same courtyard.
However, before Zhao Wu could find anyone, Li Shuheng had already arrived at the official room.
The reason why he was able to come over so quickly was that he learned that someone was coming back from the grassland. He was worried that something had happened on the grassland, so he hurried over and happened to meet Zhao Wu who was about to go find him.
"Brother Shu Heng, sit down." Liu Heng said with a smile, "This time Lao Wu and Zhang Sancha have brought us some great news."
Li Shuheng said hurriedly, "Did they win over a Mongolian noble?"
"Yes." Liu Heng nodded vigorously and said, "Not only that, they actually involved the relationship between Tumote Khan and Shitu Khan."
Li Shuheng looked stunned, then ecstatic.
He knew very well what the words "Bu Shi Tu Khan" meant.
It can be said that Bushitu Khan is the emperor of Tumut and several surrounding Mongolian tribes. The Tiger-Character Banner can connect with each other. In the future, the Tiger-Character Banner's convoys will be able to travel unimpeded on the grasslands.
Liu Heng said, "But Bushi Tuhan and some Taiji in Qingcheng don't believe in the strength of our Tiger Flag, and I can't leave Datong. I can only go to Qingcheng and prepare a gift of five thousand taels of silver." Take us there together."
Li Shuheng smiled and said, "No problem, I will personally lead a team to Qingcheng. As long as this can be done, I will be willing to pay not only 5,000 taels of silver, but even 10,000 taels of silver."
"Also." Liu Heng said, "Tan Zaiwang said that there are three strongest forces in Tumote. In addition to Bu Shitu Khan from Qingcheng and Suang Taiji from Bansheng City, there is also Namul Taiji, who is also me. Answer the sweat bloodline."
Li Shuheng asked, "Does the boss want me to send generous gifts to these three parties?"
Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "Forget it about Bansheng City. They are close to the Fan family, and the relationship between Su Nang Tai Ji and Bu Shi Tu Khan is not harmonious. This time you go to Tumut, mainly because Go to Qingcheng to see Shitu Khan, and at the same time meet Namul Taiji, and give generous gifts to both parties."
Li Shuheng nodded understandingly and asked, "Then when should I leave for Qingcheng?"
Liu Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's meet with Tian Shenglan tomorrow and try to settle the matter of the Chamber of Commerce with him. At the same time, we will arrange for manpower to prepare the goods to be brought to the grassland this time. When the goods are almost ready, you can hit the road."
"This is our first time dealing with Beibei. What are the appropriate things to bring to the grassland? How much is appropriate?" Li Shuheng asked Liu Heng.
Liu Heng tapped his fingers on the desk a few times, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Mainly focus on grain, tea, and our iron goods. I'll add some other things as well. We also need to bring our sorghum wine with us to the north." The soldiers like wine, and the sorghum wine we brew is a strong liquor, which suits the nature of the soldiers in the north."
Li Shuheng nodded.
Liu Heng added, "Go back and find someone to find out what the Mongolian nobles like, so that we can adapt to their preferences."
"If you want to find out what Mongolian nobles like, you don't have to ask anyone else. We have a suitable candidate here." Li Shuheng smiled mysteriously.
"who?"
"Tian Shenglan."
"How could I forget him?" Liu Heng slapped his forehead.
The Tian family has been dealing with northern barbarians for generations, so they naturally understand the habits and preferences of Mongolian nobles.
……………………
Early the next morning, Tian Shenglan was invited over from the inn by Xu Xuewu.
Liu Heng welcomed Tian Shenglan into the side hall. After sitting down, he said with a smile, "Mr. Tian, are you used to staying in my Xujiazhuang these days?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't know that Xujiazhuang was prosperous and prosperous until I came here." Tian Shenglan said, "I heard that Xujiazhuang was just an ordinary village before, but now it is full of business and people come and go in restaurants and tea shops. Dongzhu Liu He has such a talent for growing hair, and guarding such a cornucopia can make a lot of money every day."
"Haha, Boss Tian, thank you." Liu Heng laughed twice.
"Master Tian, have some tea." Li Shuheng made a gesture of inviting tea to Tian Shenglan.
Tian Shenglan picked up the tureen, took a sip, took the tureen away from his mouth, and said, "Dongzhu Liu is here to recruit me this time. Is this the result of the cooperation between the two companies?"
Li Shuheng on the side said, "Inviting Boss Tian here this time means agreeing to cooperate with Boss Tian."
"That's great." Tian Shenglan put down the bowl in his hand.
Li Shuheng said, "Since the two companies want to cooperate, how can we cooperate? Should we discuss the charter first?"
