"Yang Gan, Yang Gan..."
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Fujiko Jin, and he didn't know when he would change his irritability.
"I'm not deaf, why are you shouting so loudly?" Yang Qian sat up helplessly and dug his fingers into his ears in displeasure.
"Hey, don't be impatient. I've sold everything that needs to be sold, which is more than 100,000 gold. I'm going to..."
Yang Qian raised his hand and interrupted him, "Your sister and I established a trading company. Give me 90,000 gold, you take 10,000 gold, and the rest will be deposited in the trading company. We have too few people, and the extra money can be used for training. Talent."
Fujiko Jin looked at Yang Qian strangely.
Yang Gan was amused, "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my face?"
"There are no flowers, but what you said is similar to what my sister said. I just sent the last cow to Zhuangzi, and my sister asked me to come to discuss it with you. I didn't expect... Hehehe."
"Yang Qian, honestly speaking, are you interested in my sister?" Fujiko Jin elbowed Yang Qian and said ambiguously.
"Hehehe, don't worry, I will tell your sister exactly what I said." Yang Gan said with a sinister smile.
Fujiko Jin was shocked, and then smiled and said, "I have already purchased the supplies. I will go to the Huns again in a day or two. My sister can't hit me either."
Seeing the free and easy expression on his face, Yang Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with envy, "It's good for you. You can go outside to relax. I have a headache right now. There are too many things."
Fujiko Jin was stunned, and then he thought of the things called coal he just saw in Zhuangzi. "You are short of manpower, right? In fact, this matter is also simple."
Yang Gan stood up, walked forward without even drying his feet and said excitedly, "Is there really a way? I'm in dire need of people right now. If you have farmers and cattle, you can have two thousand acres of fertile land."
"The leaders of Guizhou still have extra time to get some handicrafts to sell in the city, but I give them money and food for mining, but no one is happy to dig."
"That's not true. I just saw a few people digging for coal."
Yang Gan almost spat out his blood, "Brother, do you understand? It's just a few people digging. It's going to take years and years. The coal produced can not only make briquettes, but also forge weapons. What is this?" Do you understand what I mean?"
Fujiko Jin said blankly, "It's just very valuable, right?"
Yang Qian scratched his hair, feeling that this guy just didn't know what he was doing. Didn't he see that Lao Xia and the four iron fools almost went crazy after learning about the role of coal?
Putting a hand on Fujiko Jin's shoulder, he said frivolously, "The coal is in the field. Do I need to spend money to buy it?"
"No need."
"Only someone can dig it, right?"
"Yes."
"You can make money by digging it, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"It can make money and forge weapons. How many people need to keep warm in winter? How many soldiers need to replace their weapons."
Fujiko Jin thought about it carefully and suddenly took a breath of cold air. "According to what you said, isn't it the same as digging for gold directly?"
Yang Gan showed two rows of bright white teeth and gave a thumbs up, "Yes, black gold, and I have asked Lao Tian to write a letter to the king. From now on, coal will have the same status as salt and iron."
After understanding the stakes, Fujiko Jin immediately suggested, "In fact, it's easy for people to buy it on the grassland."
"Aren't there nomads on the grasslands? Where do the slaves come from?"
"There were some in the past, but not many, but it's different now. Since they plundered our country, the Huns have obtained massive amounts of food and goods, quickly equipped a large number of soldiers, and are constantly attacking other nations."
"Every time you win, you will seize a lot of slaves. Just trade with them directly. The price is more cost-effective than buying slaves. The most important thing is that even if these slaves die, you will be fine. Unlike the slaves in our country, death will have too many consequences. not good."
"How much does one cost approximately?"
"One gold and ten."
"Hi~~~ It's quite expensive. If I buy it for ten thousand people, wouldn't it cost one thousand gold?"
Fujiko Jin squinted his eyes and said disdainfully, "Brother, you have hundreds of thousands of gold, are you still short of this little money?"
Yang Qian walked around in the inner hall. In his imagination, there are a lot of open-pit coals in the world, almost 40% of which are open-pit coals. It is common for many coals to cover dozens of kilometers in radius.
There is no large machinery, so the only way is manpower. Manpower mining coal is hard work. The pay is small, and no one can do it.
In this era, sharecroppers like to farm, so just give them more money. It’s not cost-effective for you, and you don’t know what the market price is.
It would be better to use slaves directly, but even a small coal mine requires a large number of slaves to dig it out. Fortunately, I discovered potatoes and corn, otherwise it would be over.
With tens of thousands of slaves, it would be difficult just to eat, drink and defecate every day. The entire city would run out of food and there would be no place to buy it even if they had money.
"Zi Jin, are all the Xiongnu people in arms now?"
Fujiko Jin shook his head, "They are all soldiers, but they are only fighting in a small area with the surrounding tribes. It is not the time for the whole people to attack, so the only ones fighting are regular troops."
Yang Gan carefully planned how to earn the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, and finally made a decision after thinking for a long time.
"You wait for me for a few days, and then I will set off with you."
Fujiko Jin was surprised and said, "You are not a general, are you planning to go into business?"
"Wrong, you go do business, and I go to the grassland to rob people."
Fujiko Jin looked at Yang Qian in horror, "You, are you planning to rob the Huns directly?"
"No, you misunderstood. I will rob anyone. As long as they have robbed Daxia, I will not let anyone go. This will save me money."
"Secondly, it can invisibly weaken their physical strength. Every time a young man is captured, there will be one less Xiongnu or other ethnic group, which will be of great use to us in conquering the grassland in the future."
Fujiko Jin licked his lips, his eyes full of hope, "Can you let me go too?"
Yang Gan shook his head and said with a smile, "What are you doing? You do your business well. After I have power and money, won't you do the same? You and your sister are my saviors."
"No, no, no, you are wrong. I want to kill the Huns. After all, I am also a citizen of Daxia. This is what I have always wanted to do."
After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, "I used to think that the Huns would thresh grain and grass once a year and would not make great efforts to confront them head-on. Since then, I can't bear to see the miserable state of the Guizhou leaders."
Yang Gan's eyes lit up. It turned out that after seeing the tragic situation, he was not only thinking deeply about himself, but also Zi Jin had this idea. Isn't this like-minded? He might as well just call his comrades.
"This time I plan to directly use the army to plunder the population. I need light cavalry to go out. I told you to eat more and grow stronger. Why are you still so thin?"
Fujiko Jin was not upset. He opened his sleeves, exposed his arms, and gestured vigorously, "It looks like I'm stronger than you."
Yang Gan sneered and said, "Compare."
"You~~~ I won't compete with you. You are a little monster and you are too strong."
Fujiko was startled. Yang Qian was so perverted. He knew better than anyone that he could hammer himself to death with just one arm.
With just a push of his hands, he could swing a carriage weighing several stones. Just thinking about it makes me sweat.
"Go and tell your sister, and she will let you go if she agrees."
Fujiko Jin quit, "No, why should she agree?"
"The eldest brother is like father, and the eldest sister is like mother. Except for the family that removed you, you two can only depend on each other for life now."
Fujiko Jin's eyes gradually darkened, and after a while, he didn't know what was going on, and his eyes were awkward and unruly.
"Hmph, I will go back to that place again. I want to show them that I can live a good life even if I leave the family."
"Remember to call me when you return home from wealth, and I will help you support the scene."
"Brother~~~!" Fujiko Jin was instantly moved.
"Ah, what are you doing? Don't throw it at me, big snot~~~!"
After the two separated at home, Yang Gan led Krisna and Belika to set off towards the military camp, while Fujiko Jin quickly ran to the manor, firstly to ask for his sister's consent, and secondly to deliver a letter to Tian Zong.
After arriving at the farm, Fujiko Jin quickly found Tian Zong and handed the letter to him. After Tian Zong read it, he frowned tightly.
"Isn't this too random? Moreover, deploying troops without permission is a capital offense."
"Um? That's what happened. General Tian Zong, please hurry up and give the order. I'm very excited to be able to capture the Huns."
King Xia Wen and the other two laughed out loud when they heard this. Fujiko Jin's words were actually beyond the pale, but all three of them understood that a young businessman must know very little about government affairs.
"I asked you to give me a shout, Zi Jin. This troop movement requires edicts and tiger talismans, not warrants. But if we want to fight a battle, General Tian is not qualified to issue this order." Qu Xiuwen said with a smile.
"Ah? What should we do?" Fujiko Jin was confused. Isn't this what was agreed upon? Why is it so complicated?
When Tian Zong saw King Xia Wen nodding, he said solemnly, "Originally it was not possible, but it is not a war. I have the tiger charm. Remember, you must protect the young master and never let him get hurt."
Tian Zong took out half a tiger talisman with words engraved on it from his arms and handed it to Fujiko Jin solemnly, "Keep it safe. If the tiger talisman is lost, not only will you die, Yang Gan and I will be beheaded."
Fujiko Jin's eyes widened and he carefully put it in his pocket. "General Tian, is it so serious?"
"This tiger talisman can mobilize 20,000 border troops. Do you think it is important? Go to the military camp and hand it over to Yang Qian immediately. Make sure there is no mistake." Tian Zong glared at him and said in a stern tone.
Fujiko Jin scratched his head, wondering if "I can't go for the time being."
"Huh? What's going on?" Tian Zong was a little unhappy. This was a big deal and there was no room for mistakes. If the king hadn't agreed, a mere merchant would have been kicked out for saying this.
Fujiko Jin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yang Gan asked me to find my sister. My sister must agree before I can go to the military camp."
Tian Zong and the other four people looked confused. Fujiko Jin was an adult, so why did he still need sister's consent?
