"This is impossible." Li Shuheng said, "By doing this, the Great Khan is directly intervening in the fight between us and the Fanji Chamber of Commerce."
Jamuka looked embarrassed and said, "There is nothing you can do about it. The herdsmen also have to survive the winter. Besides, your Tiger Flag has so many goods that will be sold to the herdsmen sooner or later. It is better to sell some of them to the herdsmen first."
"That's different." Li Shuheng shook his head and said, "Even if one day we want to sell goods, we must sell them at our own price, not the price of Fanji Chamber of Commerce."
"But the price of the goods sold by the Fanji Chamber of Commerce to the herdsmen is much lower than your Tiger Flag. If you do this, it will be more difficult for the Khan." Jamuka frowned.
He did not expect that the people of the Tiger Flag would reject the Khan's will.
In his opinion, there were a lot of goods from the Ming Dynasty stored in the warehouse of Tiger Character Banner, and it was no big deal to sell some to the herdsmen. However, Li Shuheng in front of him refused several times, which made him a little angry.
Li Shuheng said, "At the price at which the Fanji Chamber of Commerce sells goods, it is completely losing money. Even in the Ming Dynasty, you can't buy it at such a low price. The reason why they sell things to herdsmen at such a low price is to kill us." The flags are crowding out of the grassland, I believe the general will not fail to see this."
"You merchants from the Ming Dynasty are so kind-hearted. You must still make money by selling things to herdsmen even if you pay money." Jamukha said, "In the past, when you went to the horse market to trade, you merchants from the Ming Dynasty always shouted Even if we suffer a loss from selling, in fact, it is our herdsmen who suffer the loss.”
"I'm really sorry, General." Li Shuheng said, "I can't sell the goods here to the herdsmen, because we won't sell these goods at all, unless one day the Fanji Chamber of Commerce loses this battle."
Jamukha frowned and said, "You don't need to sell everything, just sell part of it to the herdsmen."
Li Shuheng shook his head firmly.
Jamukha said in a bad tone, "If you do this, the Great Khan will be dissatisfied with your tiger-character flag. Reading in 88, 23o"
Li Shuheng said in a calm tone, "Since the Great Khan has promised not to interfere in the fight between us and the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, I hope that the Great Khan can keep his promise. When the Fanji Chamber of Commerce loses this fight, our tiger-character flag will still be like before. Same, continue selling things to herdsmen.”
"But now the herdsmen need your goods for the winter. The Great Khan hopes that you will sell the goods in the warehouse to the herdsmen." Jamukha said.
Li Shuheng said, "Isn't there still the Fanji Chamber of Commerce? Herders can buy from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce."
"Fan Ji Chamber of Commerce has nothing to sell," Jamuhe said. "Fan Ji Chamber of Commerce's convoys transporting goods to the grassland were all robbed here by your tiger-character flags, including people and goods."
"Forgive me for being powerless." Li Shuheng spread his hands and said, "If the Fanji Chamber of Commerce is not defeated, the goods of our Tiger Flag will not be sold."
Jamuka's face sank and he said, "By doing this, your Tiger Flag has not only offended the herdsmen, but also offended the Great Khan and many Taijis."
"I hope the Great Khan can remain neutral and not favor any party." Li Shuheng said.
Jamuka said in a deep voice, "The Great Khan has already said that he will no longer interfere in the fight between your Tiger Flag and the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, so he will naturally not participate. Now the Great Khan is looking for your Tiger Flag for the herdsmen. I hope you can sell it." Some goods are given to herders.”
"General, there is no need to talk about selling goods to herdsmen." Li Shuheng refused.
"Are you sure you want to disobey the Khan's will?" Jamuka's voice turned cold.
Li Shuheng said in a calm voice, "I'm not going against the Great Khan's will, but the Great Khan's will is obviously to favor the Fanji Chamber of Commerce. Please forgive me for not obeying it."
"Okay, I will tell the truth to the Khan what you said. As for what the Khan will think, that has nothing to do with me." Jamuka said angrily, and then said, "Your tiger-character flag is mine. It was recommended to the Great Khan, but what you did this time is too unkind. You have so many goods in your hands, but you have no intention of selling them to the herdsmen. This will make the Great Khan and many Taiji very dissatisfied with you. "
Li Shuheng looked indifferent and said nothing, expressing his attitude with silence.
Seeing that Li Shuheng was determined not to sell anything to the herdsmen, Jamuhe snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of the yurt.
At this time, Li Shuheng said, "General, wait a moment. I will ask someone to bring the coal stove to the general."
"No need." Jamuka left the yurt without looking back.
Li Shuheng took a few steps outside and then stopped, not even leaving the yurt.
Shortly after Jamukha left, Zhang Sanchang returned to the yurt. As soon as he came in, he said, "If you take away the popularity like this, will it attract revenge from the Mongols?"
Li Shuheng said, "Can you still agree to his request and sell our goods to herders?"
"Of course not." Zhang Sancha said, "If we sell goods to herdsmen at our previous prices, it's not impossible to consider."
Li Shuheng waved his hand and said, "Herdsmen are used to buying cheap things from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce. Our prices are still so high. There will definitely be trouble. Su Nang's soldiers will definitely take the opportunity to attack our shop again and steal the goods in the shop." "
Zhang Sancha said worriedly, "My subordinates are worried that Shitu will have the same idea. After all, our warehouse is in Jamuka's tribe. If the Mongols really want to take action, we can't stop them with our small manpower."
"What you said is not unreasonable." Li Shuheng frowned.
Zhang Sancha said tentatively, "How about we use big trucks to transport all the goods in the warehouse back to Datong?"
"No." Li Shuheng shook his head and said, "There are so many things, just a big truck will take a lot of them. We don't know how long it will take to transport them back one by one, and the Mongolians will never let us take the things back." If we transport it back, we can definitely deal with our convoy halfway."
"Then why don't you ask that old Taiji from Namu'er for help?" Zhang Sancha added.
Li Shuheng shook his head and immediately said, "You ask people to prepare some flammable things. Put some in every yurt where goods are stored."
"The total amount of goods in those yurts must be at least hundreds of thousands taels of silver." Zhang Sancha's eyes widened.
Li Shuheng said in a solemn tone, "Before I came here, the boss said that our goods on the grassland would rather be destroyed than give the Beilu an advantage, otherwise it will be difficult for us to trade on the grassland in the future."
"Yes, I understand." Upon hearing the order from the master, Zhang Sancha immediately agreed.
Fan Yongdou frowned and sat on the Grand Master's chair without saying a word.
"President Fan, why did you come to us so late for something urgent?" Huang Yunfa walked in from outside.
Following him were some proprietors of Fanji Chamber of Commerce.
"Read this letter first." Fan Yongdou pointed to the letter at hand.
A servant next to him handed the letter to Huang Yunfa.
Huang Yunfa took the letter. After reading it, he frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Counting the time, before this letter was sent back, the Chamber of Commerce had already sent three convoys to the grassland. How could there not be even one convoy?" To Bansheng City”
Fan Yongdou said in a deep voice, "There should be something wrong on the grassland."
"Isn't there still Su Nang Taiji on the grassland?" Huang Yunfa said doubtfully.
Fan Yongdou said, "I don't know exactly what is going on on the grassland. I have brought you here to entrust you with the affairs of the Fanji Chamber of Commerce. I need to go to Bansheng City immediately."
"The situation is so serious" Huang Yunfa frowned.
"I'm afraid it's more serious than imagined." Fan Yongdou said worriedly. 11
