Portable Space Can be Summoned

Of course, these are just Yang Yuan's guesses. It will take time to prove when this bitter fruit will ripen and where will it fall.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the strength of the barbarians will increase with the increase of trade with Qi.

However, from the perspective of King Qi, perhaps he thinks that Qi will become stronger faster than the grasslands, so he is willing to maintain such a development speed.

"What is the difference between the state of Shun and the state of Qi?"

It was the first time Zhang Zhixiao knew about the grassland trade in the state of Qi, but he had already heard of the grassland trade in the state of Shun.

And he can be very sure that the court of Shunguo is very opposed to the grassland trade.

It's just that the border between Shunguo and the grassland is too long, and it is very troublesome to combat smuggling.

In the northeast of Shunguo, the sheep intestines in Cangyang County is the most prosperous smuggling trade route. Even if there are eighteen bandits scattered on it, there are still many merchants.

The stationing of the Pofeng Battalion still cannot change this situation.

And Zhang Zhixiao didn't have that much energy to catch smugglers.

Yang Yuan has a deeper understanding of the grassland trade in Shunguo than in Qiguo, because he has a very good partner, Tieyunzhai.

As one of the Eighteen Bandits, Tieyun Village is already one of the main forces of grassland trade.

Therefore, the eighteen robbers in the intestines of sheep will always be inexhaustible.

Yang Yuan: "Shun State and Qi State have different attitudes towards grassland trade. The most fundamental reason is that the goods traded are different."

Zhang Zhixiao pretended to be willing to hear the details and looked at Yang Yuan seriously.

"The salt produced in Qi can not only meet domestic needs, but also be sold to the grasslands of Shun and northern China.

However, a large part of the salt in our Shun country still needs to be purchased from Qi, so there are not many people who sell salt to the grasslands.

More merchants shipped grain, ironware and tea to the grasslands.

But the main commodity is food. "

Speaking of which, Zhang Zhixiao already understands without needing to say more about Yang Yuan.

Shun State is neither a country rich in grain, nor does it benefit from the fish and salt of Qi and Chu.

If you want to go to the grasslands to trade, you can only transfer domestic grain, which is really betraying the country.

Lack of salt, people can still think of various ways to survive.

But if there is a shortage of food, there are only two ways left, starve to death or rebel.

No wonder!

Zhang Zhixiao suddenly understood the commander's order.

"The Eighteen Kou of Sheep Intestines were also introduced by them?"

Yang Yuan admires Zhang Zhixiao's ability to quickly find the key points.

These people in high positions are indeed not simple.

They can find the most important link with just a few words.

Zhang Zhixiao then added his point of view, "No, Shun State is different from Qi State, the strength of our domestic family is not as strong as before, and it is impossible to openly join the grassland trade like Qi State.

Therefore, at most two or three of the Eighteen Bandits have the support of nobles behind them, and even if there are people behind them, they can only operate secretly.

So no matter what the names of the Eighteen Bandits are and how their leaders change, they will never be wiped out! "

Pretty!

Almost exactly.

Zhang Zhixiao's speculation is almost the same as what Yang Yuan learned.

It's just that he still can't be sure which branches of the Eighteen Bandits have people behind them, and who is behind them.

This is one of Yang Yuan's real goals.

If you want to incorporate the Eighteen Bandits, the forces behind them are obstacles that cannot be skipped. Only by knowing ourselves and knowing our enemies can we be victorious.

It would be too slow to send someone to infiltrate other cottages, and then secretly inquire about the news. Yang Yuan didn't have that much time, so it was very important to find someone with a high enough status who could get in touch with those forces.

"Uncle Shi is absolutely right. Except for those desperate businessmen, the Eighteen Bandits are the biggest participants in the grassland trade."

Yang Yuan confirmed Zhang Zhixiao's guess.

Zhang Zhixiao then asked again, "You want me to help you solve the threat of the Eighteen Bandits."

Zhang Zhixiao thought that since the Yang family wanted to participate in the grassland trade, the existence of the Eighteen Bandits was the biggest threat, and he happened to have military power in his hands. This is what the Yang family should value.

Yang Yuan's answer surprised him very much, "No, Uncle Shi, you have already said that the Eighteen Bandits are inexhaustible, so don't waste your energy on them, other businessmen can pass through the intestines of sheep, we Naturally, it can pass.”

Zhang Zhixiao was a little confused at this time: "If that's the case, you don't need to tell me about it, why do you tell me so much?"

You don't need to be escorted by the front-breaking battalion under your own, why do you have to talk to yourself so much, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?

Or did you deliberately expose it to yourself?

"Uncle Shi, didn't you guess it just now? The Eighteen Bandits have the support of nobles. Although I don't want to conflict with the Eighteen Bandits, you know the nature of bandits. In case of an accident, I don't want to find someone else. Are you backing the mountain?"

Yang Yuan half-truth explained why he told Zhang Zhixiao about this matter, and also gave a foreshadowing in advance, not afraid of 10,000, but just in case.

Zhang Zhixiao now understood what Yang Yuan meant. It turned out that he wanted to pull himself into the water.

Zhang Zhixiao did not immediately refuse or agree, but took the cold tea next to him and brought it to his mouth, regardless of the temperature of the tea, and drank it like that.

"Let me think about it."

Hearing that, Yang Yuan immediately understood what it meant, got up and retire, and said that he was waiting for Uncle Shi's call at any time.

This matter can be considered.

The risks are definitely there, and they are not small, but as long as you communicate with the commander properly, you should be able to solve it. Even if there is a problem, you can choose most of them.

Besides, given the relationship between the Zhang and Yang families, the Yang family should not easily frame themselves, and Yang Yuan is not someone who does not know the sky and the earth, so the probability of being caught is not high.

The benefits are also obvious. Not to mention the 30% of the shares that Yang Yuan had just promised, the special products bought from the grassland already made Zhang Zhixiao not want to refuse. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Livestock, horses, who can refuse?

Zhang Zhixiao also wants to set up cavalry, but the top does not give the horses to the bottom. I will buy the horse head office myself. It is not to form my private army. 100% of it will be used in the Pofeng Battalion. As long as the commander agrees, no one can say anything. .

And there is another benefit in agreeing to Yang Yuan's request for cooperation, food.

Yang Yuan made it very clear in private that 30% of the cadres can choose to pay with livestock, horses or grain.

Another condition that Zhang Zhixiao could not refuse.

Done!

Zhang Zhixiao could not refuse the temptation of horses and food, and was ready to accept Yang Yuan's request for cooperation.

But he intends to negotiate with Yang Yuan about the specific terms.

Since it is cooperation, the interests that should be fought must still be fought for.

Even if the final result is the same, this process of negotiation is also essential.

Yang Yuan didn't feel angry at all when he heard the news, but felt normal, and praised Zhang Zhixiao as the leader of the Pofeng Battalion.

Yang Yuan behaved very normally and met Zhang Zhixiao again, but this time, he came to say goodbye.

"Uncle Shi, I have already sent a letter to my family. The food I donated to the Pofeng Camp should arrive soon. The family will send someone to discuss the details of the cooperation with you. My nephew will not be staying in your military camp. It's strange. boring."

Zhang Zhixiao always believed that Yang Yuan was not the decision maker of the Yang family, so he did not hold back his departure too much.

This is what Yang Yuan wanted. The most boring thing about negotiation is to let some uncles in the family discuss it.

Anyway, it has generally been agreed, and it is up to them to see what tricks they can pull out of the details.
