Northern Dynasties

Chapter 343
Outside the city of Qinzhou Prefecture, a continuous stream of chariots, horses and packers gathered here.The officials of Fu Zuozhou also came out of the city one after another, busily receiving and recording the teams of people and goods gathered from all over the world.

Li Tai, Li Xian, and a few high-ranking local scholars from the prefectures and counties sat under a temporary arbor outside the city wall, chatting about current affairs while admiring the scene of people being transported busy in front of them.

"Although Changshi has been in the town for a short time, he has repeatedly done good deeds, and his handsome voice spreads in the village. That's why today's order is so grand that the masses follow it!"

A villager who had not been seated in the shed for a long time saw that there were still people and goods swarming outside. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that he had made an early decision and set off early, so that he could sit here now and appreciate the exhaustion of others. Flatter Li Tai.

Li Tai knew that these people were not profiting from him, but he was very happy to hear this flattery. He waved his hands with a smile and said, "In the town of Shangyi, the masses are loyal and industrious. I have it all by myself!"

While talking, a state official hurried in with a book, and said respectfully to Li Tai: "Reporting to the long history, all raw and cooked leather materials have been approved in full, and they just need to be loaded and shipped."

"The grease, lacquer and wax have also been collected!"

All of a sudden, state officials who were in charge of coordinating and checking all kinds of materials came in one after another to report, which made Li Tai very happy, and he couldn't help but feel that Longyou Township has a huge reserve of materials, which can satisfy tens of thousands of troops in such a short period of time. Miscellaneous munitions materials needed.

However, it was probably because of this that the villagers were so enthusiastic about this opportunity and rushed to fight for it.

These military supplies are of course valuable, but their value is mainly reflected in the war, but under the governance of the Longyou Metropolitan Government, there have been few large-scale wars here.

These materials produced by many people have no maximum use value. If you want to realize them, almost every family in the local area has them, and no one will buy a bunch of useless things at home. But there is no way to arrive.

They can't be sold, and they can't bear to throw them away, so they can only be piled up at home and let the dust accumulate.Now that the state government has borrowed these materials, they will return them one after another in a short time, and they will also be given priority in trade. This is undoubtedly great news.

They themselves have a very strong trade demand, and they can also take this opportunity to replace their old materials with newly produced ones from the government.Taking a step back, even if those subsequent promises are nothing, the camels delivered as collateral on the spot are always real.

Therefore, most families with a little wealth in the prefecture and county do not want to miss such an opportunity.Even if other people are still hesitant, but seeing everyone is so enthusiastic, if they are not active, they will appear to be not gregarious enough.

Hearing that the gaps in various materials had been replenished, Li Tai asked Li Xian to order him to cooperate with the state soldiers to collect the materials for easy escort, and discussed with the state and county officials in this shed to draw up the first batch of lists.

When it was learned that the government had stopped collecting materials, there was a lot of discussion outside the city for a while, and some tycoons who had just arrived immediately shouted dissatisfied, while those who had already delivered could not help but rejoice.Or worry or joy, to name a few.But before the official list is announced, their respective emotions are still restrained.

New personnel and new style of work, Li Tai came to Qinzhou not long ago, and he has little connection with the people in the state, so he has not received any requests to harass him. The compilation of the list is nothing more than summarizing the names of all parties and sorting them out according to the number and time. Arrange the criteria in order, and the list will be compiled soon.And this list, to a certain extent, represents the freshest rural situation in Qinzhou.

More than 30 powerful families were selected in the list, all with familiar surnames, and some even have several families in one family.This is not all of Longyou Haoqiang, but only a part of the surrounding area of ​​Tianshui Shangfeng City.

Li Tai sent his staff to write the certificates on the spot, and distributed them to the selected tycoons one by one.

With this certificate, they can travel freely in the commercial roads of Longyou and Hexi for a period of time in the future, and enjoy the benefits brought by commerce first.Of course, the certificate has not yet officially come into force, and the materials must be transported to Weizhou, checked and sealed by Dugu Xin.

The people who received the certificates were all smiling, and those who had found the most precious treasures kept it close to their bodies, and they couldn't help but start thinking about panning for gold on this Silk Road business road in their minds.

More than 30 certificates were issued quickly, and those who received them were naturally very happy, while those who were excluded were dissatisfied and lingered and refused to leave.

Not to mention the loss of the first wave of business opportunities after the opening of the trade route, just transporting these materials from the village to the state city will cost a lot of transportation costs!
It's not that they are stingy and unwilling to lose, but because of the distance, they lag behind others, so they have to bear such a price, and it's hard for anyone to accept the pride of those pioneers.

Li Tai is also prepared for this, that is, to directly purchase these excess military supplies, on the one hand to supplement the shortage of storage in Qinzhou's arsenal, and on the other hand, the Battle of Yubi in the second half of the year will also make the situation in Guanzhong unprecedentedly tense. At that time, it will be directly exported to Guanzhong, and besides using it for its own use, it can also make a fortune from the powerful military leaders in Guanzhong.

Because the price he quoted was quite fair, and since all the goods had been transported, the loss would undoubtedly be even greater if they were transported back to the hometown.

Although there were shortages of various military supplies in the warehouses of the state capital, there was still a considerable surplus of money and silk and other items.

Only Huangfu Mu and other government officials were a little bit dumbfounded. They just felt that Li Tai’s operation was a bit unnecessary. Either he would lose everything or buy everything. Use treasury savings to buy the same product at a high price?Is this something normal people can do?
However, seeing that Li Tai mobilized all the supplies accumulated by the people in such a short period of time and completed an almost impossible task, these people also admired him very much, and dared not say anything more.Even if there are some unreasonable places, there is no need to insist on perfection.

It’s not easy for Li Tai to tell them carefully. The previous loss is for the convenience of me paying off the debt with the government-made workshops under Qinzhou. After all, as long as the Silk Road trade prospers, products are king. Build the production base on the right.He is not greedy now, and in the future after the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the land in Longyou will also be assigned to Yu Wendao's family.

As for the last transaction, it was for the second half of the year to make a war fortune. My big brother came out and gave me a big rocket before he died. How could I miss it?They are not the same thing at all, how can they be confused!
After a few days of busy work, I finally got together the supplies before Li Xian's team set off.With Li Xian's men and horses in charge of protecting them, there is no need for the state government to send more manpower to go there.

Those tyrants who lent materials to the government were also responsible for sending their respective shares to Weizhou. The creditors seemed really aggrieved, but they happily drove the camels on the road one by one, without any complaints.

After sending this huge logistics team away, Li Tai also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that the burden on his body was lighter.

He worked hard to ensure the logistics of the Western Expedition Army without any worries, Xiao He was simply even better than Xiao He, so after the war, he could not be promoted to a higher office based on his merits?

Although it is said that most of his energy is still spent on hollowing out Longyou's public and private savings, but the old saying is good, he has worked so hard, if Yu Wentai doesn't make him a founder It's really a bit stubborn.

Not to mention that Li Tai was planning in the rear where he should be promoted to after the war, the strange and bloated team led by Li Xian marched westward along the Weishui River, and the news spread quickly, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in Weizhou big camp.

"My lord, what a joy! Li Changshi came back to report that all the supplies needed by the army have been prepared, and they will arrive in Weizhou in a few days!"

As soon as Li Tun received the messenger from Qinzhou, he went straight to the big tent in the camp with a happy face and reported to Dugu Xinhui.

Dugu Xin was also overjoyed after hearing the words, and Yang Kuan, who was discussing with him, smiled enviously and said to him: "Congratulations to the Duke of Hanoi, what a happy son-in-law! I have seen him calmly resolve the old grievances in the past, and I already feel that He is extremely ingenious. Now he is able to complete tasks that are almost impossible to complete in his job. Such a talented person is rare in the world, and the Duke of Hanoi also knows gold with his eyes..."

After Dugu Xin heard this, the smile on his face became even happier. He took the letter from the messenger and read it carefully. He was still full of joy and entrusted Yang Kuan to take care of this group of personnel and supplies on his behalf. In private account.

As soon as he returned to his living tent, the smile on Dugu Xin's face disappeared immediately, and he clapped his hands frequently and said in a muffled voice: "This kid, this kid is really capable of doing great things and doing great evil. If you stay here for a short time, you will almost Overthrow the order of Qinzhou that I have worked so hard to create!

The rest don't say anything, then Li Xianhe is the leader of the border gang, the Gaopingtou wolf, how could he be easily introduced into the border!Quickly send a letter to Qinzhou, asking him to come see you as soon as possible! "
