Chapter 108

In Tanglong Town, Feng Yuan blew the dust on his body, sat down by the door, and said to Lu Xingyuan inside: "It's almost done. My brother told Hachiro to take a break. Wait until the evening, we will buy some wine to celebrate."

Lu Xingyuan called Wei Balang inside, sat down next to Feng Yuan outside the door, and said, "We have been here for ten days. The city is still deserted and there are not many businessmen. The officers in charge said they wanted to do it here, so why are there no signs?"

Feng Yuan said: "What's the matter? The officials said it must be true. It's not a bad thing for us to occupy the place here first. Within the past or two months, the government bought most of the stores in the city? It's always good to follow them."

Lu Xingyuan sighed: "We have collected a lot of wool these days. The things look messy and pickled, and it doesn't look like making money. I have lived for decades and haven't seen how to weave cloth with that thing."

Feng Yuan said: "This is because my brother's knowledge is limited. Many families who raise sheep in the north wear wool clothes, so why not?"

Just as the two were talking, a bell suddenly came from the street, getting closer and closer. Soon, I heard the market getting lively and the crowds were crowded.

Feng Yuan and Lu Xingyuan didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly got up to see. They saw a large convoy coming towards the street, with a fear that there would be a hundred and ten cars in front and behind. The convoy was followed by the crowd, and they were very excited and shouted with the convoy.

I walked up to ask the people and found out that the goods transported by the Volcanic Army yamen arrived. As soon as the goods arrived in the yamen, the business here officially started.

Feng Yuan couldn't figure it out and asked a businessman who looked like a businessman and said, "Brother, the next thing is unknown. Please let me know. Since the news of the taxes not being charged in Tanglong Town, many businessmen have come. Why have they only started doing business now?"

The man smiled and said, "You don't know what. What big business do we small merchants do? Only when the yamen takes action and transports a large number of goods can we attract big merchants from afar. When their business starts, the water will rise and the ship will rise, so we will drink some soup and water."

Feng Yuan still didn't understand, so he couldn't ask again, and said, "Brother, what goods did the yamen transport this time?"

"Sugar, the best sugar!" The man looked at the convoy on the street, his eyes shining. "I'm afraid there are not tens of thousands of kilograms of cars? This thing is extremely precious in the north and is more expensive than gold and silver. I tell you, I don't know how many Hu merchants are waiting for these goods in Dongshengzhou in the north. When the news spreads, they will inevitably rush in! At that time, it is the time for us to discuss business with them."

Feng Yuan suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. Now Tanglong Town is basically all the merchants who came here to try their luck. What business can they do? If you have a business in the mainland, why go to this border? After all, the business here depends on trade with the nomadic peoples in the north. To start, there must be large goods that attract Hu merchants. Only when the yamen takes action can they have such great courage.

After leaving the crowd, Feng Yuan watched the convoy leave, returned to his store, and gathered his brothers and said, "Okay, okay, tens of thousands of kilograms of sugar have been transported by the yamen. In a few days, countless Hu merchants in the north must have come. Let's think about how to do business with them."

Wei Baro said: "Didn't the officers say that the wool business will be very promising in the future. Will we buy wool?"

Feng Yuan said: "We are buying wool from the nearby small familia. We have bad quality and we need cash. The business is actually not easy to do. With Hu merchants coming, why do we have to do business with them? Isn't it good to buy wool directly from Hu merchants? But if you want to buy from Hu merchants, you have to trade goods with them, and you can't use cash. You all have an idea, what goods are suitable?"

When Lu Xingyuan and Wei Balang heard this, they knew what Feng Yuan meant, and nodded and said yes. The three of them sat together and thought hard.

As the Yellow River ice dissolved, the Khitan attacked Dangxiang like an arrow, and tens of thousands of troops gathered towards the border. Dongshengzhou was adjacent to the bank of the Yellow River and was the hub of the attack. Xiao Puta, the southwest, was personally in charge of the attack. The army gathered inside and outside the city, and the mows and oars on the Yellow River were connected, which was extremely busy.

Yelu Buhua left his residence, turned over his horse, and left the city gate. Soon after, he arrived at a military tent on the bank of the Yellow River.

After reporting to the military tent, Yelu Buhua looked happy and said to Yelu Yuanzuo inside: "Brother, the news from the south has been transported to Tanglong Town! I heard from the news that there are as many as 50,000 pounds, which is a good opportunity to make a fortune!"

Yelu Yuanzuo was shocked and hurriedly left the tent and looked around, saying to Yelu Buhua: "When is now? The army is about to go on a war. Be careful! There are ears in the walls. If someone listens to you, report to the king, how can we explain!"

Yelu Buhua smiled and said, "Brother is so careful! It is precisely because the war is about to go to war and everyone is busy, no one cares about our affairs. When I arrived in Dongjiazhai a few years ago, I asked about the price of sugar there, one pound of two jin of copper coins. Five thousand jin of jin, which is 100,000 jin! Not to mention it, we just need to double the price and sell it, and we can get 100,000 jin. 100,000 jin, brother, this amount makes people unable to sleep if you think about it."

Yelu Yuanzuo returned to his seat and sat down, pondering: "This time, there are many people going to Tanglong Town to trade with the southern people, many of them have a penny, and not much is left for 100,000 yuan. Alas, although this business is big, there are really more people using it."

Yelu Buhua said: "I don't care about that much. My brother and I share a hundred thousand yuan. If others want to make money, I will sell it at a higher price!"

Yelu Yuanzuo suddenly looked up: "One person has 50,000 jin? This number is a bit large-"

"Brother, this is the first business. How can I not make more money? In the future, the path will be familiar and the business will grow bigger and bigger. We must save some capital first. You are in charge of the food and supplies of the Party and Xiang army. This opportunity is rare in a century and must not be missed!"

Yelu Yuanzuo was from the Han family, just like Gao's slaves, but not the same branch. This branch was officially given the surname and belonged to the royal family. His first wife was the daughter of Xiao Xiaomu, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, and his second wife was the daughter of Xiao Shanning, the prime minister of the Northern Court. His identity was far from comparable to Gao's slaves. On this expedition, Yelu Yuanzuo stayed in Dongshengzhou and was in charge of logistics and food. Yelu Buhua and Yelu Yuanzuo were familiar with each other since childhood and deliberately made such arrangements. He was in charge of logistics and had countless conveniences in doing business with Tanglong Town in the south. Yelu Buhua intended to do a big fight.

After persuading for a while, Yelu Yuanzuo could not withstand the temptation of tens of thousands of coins of money and said decisively: "Okay, after a few days, I will send a caravan to the south! However, brother, you are too worried and will sell nearly a thousand good horses at once. This matter cannot be hidden from others. In this trade, you must bring some useful goods in the army. If you only bring some tea and silk, it is difficult for the king to explain."

Yelu Buhua smiled and said, "I have thought of this for a long time! Du Zhijun, the volcanic army in the South, agreed to sell us a thousand jars of good wine. The best spirits in the army are and there is nowhere to buy them. What else can the king say? We sell horses forbidden things, and wine is like food, and it is also forbidden things."

The business was too big this time, and Yelu Yuanzuo was a little nervous and said to Yelu Buhua: "You have to collect 50,000 jin of sugar, how to collect this money? We don't have that much capital, and can buy all the sugar back."

Yelu Buhua smiled and said, "My brother is in charge of the food and grass of tens of thousands of troops. He wants ships and boats, people and people, and carries. What capital does it have to pay! One is freight and the other is tax. He only tells the number of merchants who are going to go, and we will collect the money!"

Yelu Yuanzuo was shocked: "Isn't this a business without money?"

"We can only do this business. We bear countless risks. What's wrong with a business without a capital? This way is made. Others make a lot of money in business in the future and everyone will benefit. The first transaction, they have to spend some money."
