"As for the horses, there were 30,000 ordinary horses and more than 70,000 war horses. A total of 277,500 gold was sold, and the sheep were sold for 1,500 gold."
"The gold, silver, and coins collected totaled 29,375, and the weapons, goods, and furs seized from eighteen tribes totaled more than 15,000 gold."
"The spoils obtained this time, excluding the cattle left on the farm, totaled 340,000 gold."
"Hoo~~~!" Except for Zhang Yumeng, everyone took a breath, and even Krisna and Belika looked at Yang Gan in disbelief.
"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, you brothers and sisters have also worked hard. I have allocated 40,000 gold to you, and all the other money will be shipped to my house."
Yang Gan covered his face, feeling happy. Who would hate having more money? Of course, the more the better.
"Isn't it the same? Now my sister and I are living at your place, and we have to transport it there."
"It's different. My brothers settled the accounts and set aside 40,000 gold and put them in your respective rooms."
At this time, Fujiko Jin asked something that made everyone feel arrogant, "Yang Qian, do you think the government can let him go?"
"Don't worry about this. You can definitely let it go. I'm ready."
At this time, Yang Qian was extremely excited. This was a lot of money, which was an astronomical sum for ordinary people and businessmen, but it was not too much when it came to cross-border trade.
For example, every time merchants from Shang State come to Xia State to buy and sell grain, the average merchant can spend six to one hundred thousand gold, and a few merchants can surpass Yang Gan's entire worth.
The golden belt of murder and arson~~~!
Robbery is still a quick way to make money. No wonder these Huns come to harvest grass and grain every year. We are like the leeks raised by them. We are cut once a year, just like punching in.
For Yang Gan, who lives in a peaceful era, aggression is never the main strategy. Most invading nations will not end well, but passive defense is not Yang Gan's style.
It seemed that it was time to plan carefully. The plan against the Xiongnu was like an extremely unstable time bomb, which made Yang Gan feel like he had trouble sleeping and eating.
Looking at the dark Huns inside the mine, Yang Gan also had his own account in his heart.
There are a total of 55,000 people in the mine, 20,000 adult men. Each person needs to mine 30 shi of coal per day, which is equivalent to 3,000 kilograms. Then these people can collect 600,000 shi of coal in a day.
22,000 adult women each need to mine 20 shi of coal per day, which is equivalent to 2,000 kilograms. Then these people can mine 440,000 shi of coal in a day.
2,000 boys and girls over five years old each need to mine 10 shi of coal per day, which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. Of course, this is 20,000 shi for the time being. The age span is large, and it is a matter of whether the goals are goals or not.
There are also 10,000 adult women who are responsible for smashing coal, grinding the coal into powder with millstones, and adding water and a small amount of soil to make briquettes to dry.
After it solidifies, put it in the warehouse. As long as it is full, you can continue to build the warehouse. Anyway, there are many woods next to it, and a large area here is a field of poplars.
A standard piece of briquettes weighs about 2 kilograms, and one stone weighs about 100 kilograms. One stone can make 50 pieces of briquettes. The daily output of the entire mine is equivalent to 1,060,000 stones and 53,000,000 pieces of briquettes.
It looks like a lot, but it’s actually a lot.
When everyone knows that this thing is a good thing, blacksmith shops, restaurants, tea shops, and ordinary families will need to purchase it.
You must know that even if ordinary people drink raw water, just using the water in the river for cooking will use nearly 40 to 45 kilos of firewood a year, which is equivalent to the weight of two tons.
Yuntong City alone has a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people. You can imagine how terrible the cost of fuel per day is.
In addition, I also have a trading house. There is not much, but there are many carriages, and hundreds of carts of briquettes can be loaded into them. It will be a hot commodity in any city.
"Yang Qian, I really admire you more and more. It's different if your family has mining confidence. You are a rich man."
Zhang Yumeng looked at the scene of tens of thousands of people mining in shock, and it was almost dumbfounding.
Yang Gan was in a good mood and rarely said to Zhang Yumeng and Yan Yue said, "This mine means to Yuntong and even the people of the entire Xia Kingdom that they don't have to freeze to death in winter."
"What, can people freeze to death in winter now?"
Yang Gan showed a look of care for the mentally retarded, "Why don't you understand anything? It's very cold here in winter. If there was no coal, many people would freeze to death at home."
"It's better to just burn firewood." Zhang Yumeng wondered why.
Yang Gan covered his head. Isn't this the same as what Adou said about not eating minced meat?
"Firewood is not cheap. Cutting it casually will lead to lawsuits. Although my price for coal will not be too cheap, coal has firepower and heat storage capacity that far exceeds that of wood."
At this time, several war horses rode quickly from outside the farm, carrying a shaky man on them.
In a short time, the man was brought in front of Yang Gan by several farmers.
"Hey, why are you here?" Fujiko Jin looked at the man being held up and asked.
"Master Fuji, I have something important to report." The man kept touching his buttocks. It was obvious that his buttocks had been bumped hard along the way.
"Come quickly."
"A few days ago, Shanyu was furious. After scolding King Zuo Xian, he asked him to reorganize his military affairs, cease war with the Jie tribe, and then attack me, Daxia."
"Huh? Why is that?"
"I heard that it was caused by the annihilation of more than a dozen tribes."
"Any other news?"
"Gone."
"Take him down to rest. Don't go back again. I will arrange other things."
"Thank you, Master Teng."
"Tengzi Jin, is this person reliable?" Yang Qian also heard it and asked directly.
"It's very reliable. I followed your instructions and placed people on the Xiongnu side. This person was originally a slave of King Zuoxian, and he is estimated to be in the court of Shan Yu during this time."
"I heard that his whole family was killed, and even his wife and daughter were tortured to death by the Huns. It can be said that they are sworn in with the Huns."
Yang Gan's expression changed. It seemed that this robbery of the Xiongnu population had touched their bottom line.
With a population of over a million, 6 to 8% of the population was directly eliminated, and even everyone would jump at the chance.
"Do you want to go to the front line with me, Zi Jin?"
Apart from anything else, I need to help my brother. He is a merchant and it is very difficult to become an official.
But Yang Gan has a bigger plan. Such a trustworthy person must be given military merit, so that he can make plans in the future.
Before Teng Zijin could speak, Teng Ziyun was unhappy, "Yang Gan, he is not a soldier after all. It would be inappropriate to follow you on expeditions all the time."
Fujiko Jin was anxious. As a young man, leading troops to fight and killing enemies and making meritorious deeds was very attractive. He felt that such a life was what he should live, instead of dealing with the smell of copper every day.
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Okay, let's do this. Tengzi Jin, you take a group of people, load them with copper and iron, the weapons collected last time, salt, tea, and medicinal materials and take them to the Jie clan. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Find a way to tell They, the Xiongnu, intend to withdraw their troops and attack Daxia."
"Just talk to their leader directly." Fujiko Jin was slightly disappointed, but he understood that this matter was very important and could even affect the entire battle.
"No, no, no, it's not about talking directly, it's about accidentally revealing it after being drunk. In the eyes of the Jie clan, you are a profiteer. Only unintentional information will make people trust you."
"I see."
Fujiko Jin cupped his hands and walked directly outside. He was going to notify the caravan, purchase goods as quickly as possible, and then luck into the Jie clan.
"Kristina, Belika, you two go to the mansion, ask Qin Xiangru to monitor the situation of the gold, and bring the rhinoceros and my weapons and armor to find me at the camp outside the city."
"As you command~~~!"
Yang Gan found a horse at random and prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Yang Qian, what about me?" Zhang Yumeng was anxious. Everyone has tasks, so what should I do?
"Hey~~~" Yang Gan grabbed the horse and took out a piece of wood from his arms and threw it to her.
"This is the household registration certificate for you. From now on, you will be a member of my Yang family. To survive in this era, you must have a certain skill."
"If you don't have any skills, you have to serve others. My property can support you for the rest of your life, but are you really willing to be mediocre and do nothing? You should think carefully about this during this time."
Yang Gan clamped his legs and shouted, "Drive~~~~" and rode outside quickly.
Zhang Yumeng grabbed the household registration certificate in his hand and stared at Yang Qian who was running away, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
At noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, Yang Gan returned to the military camp. After dismounting, he broke into the Chinese army's tent regardless of etiquette. When he saw the people inside, Yang Gan twitched his lips and wondered why the three conjoined twins were still there.
No, these three guys are definitely not ordinary businessmen. With Tian Zong's character, no matter how close friends are, it is impossible for him to be selfish and disregard military discipline.
Yang Qian bowed his hands to everyone, "Old Tian, Uncle Xia, Uncle Xue, Uncle Qu, long time no see."
"Hahahaha, sir, why are you so polite? Now you are the general of Zhenbei. My superior, I should be the one to salute you."
Regarding this promotion, Tian Zong was not unhappy at all. The country belonged to their family, and a mere Zhenbei general was nothing.
Yang Gan looked embarrassed and said guiltily, "Old Tian, this is a royal edict, but it has nothing to do with me. I don't want to take your credit."
Tian Zong understood in a flash that the young master was feeling embarrassed, "Young master, don't mind, is there anything you want to do when you come to the camp this time?"
"It's urgent. I just received a report from an intermediary stationed in the court of Shan Yu. The Huns are preparing to withdraw their troops and not fight with the Jie tribe. King Zuo Xian will lead troops to attack our Daxia in order to wash away my annihilation of the eighteen tribes of the Huns. hatred."
"What?" King Xia Wen and the others were instantly horrified.
Tian Zong understood what they meant, and hurriedly grabbed Yang Gan's shoulders and asked, "I will immediately send a letter to the emperor and ask the king to send troops for reinforcements."
Yang Gan waved his hand, "No, just tell the king to defend with all your strength."
"Okay, what's your plan then?"
After spending a long time with Young Master, I know that Young Master always thinks before he does anything, always has his own calculations, and I don’t know what method he will use to defend this time.
