"It seems that Brother Zifang is also extremely capable! I am so envious!" Yang Tian said with a smile.

Mi Fang was not humble this time and said, "This housekeeper is really good and is also a good at doing business. Therefore, my brother and I are also very relieved to hand over some affairs to him. This time, he was taken to Baiyun City to let him get to know your subordinates, General, and you may have a lot of time to deal with in the future."

Yang Tiandao: "This is also a good thing. Brother Zifang, what you just said is planning to cooperate with my Baiyun City in many aspects. I wonder what specific aspects are they refer to?"

Mi Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, my brother has said something about cooperation, but he also said that it mainly depends on your opinion. My brother is more optimistic about General Your fleet with strong transportation capabilities and Baiyun City's powerful manufacturing capabilities. If you guess well, all the equipment of Baiyun City's army is self-sufficient, right?"

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Brother Zifang is indeed a sharp attack. He told me the only aspect that I can show off in one sentence. I am also a very straightforward person. Brother Zifang, just say directly how to cooperate, right?"

Mi Fang had a long time ago and said, "I think the general also knows about my Mi clan. Our family's shops can be said to be spread all over the world and have unparalleled advantages in purchasing and selling goods. However, the Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and many things are very troublesome to transport. Moreover, the purchase of goods is also scattered, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. After we know that General, you have a fleet of extremely fast speeds, we plan to cooperate with you in depth."

Yang Tian understood what Mi Fang meant, it was nothing more than wanting to buy or rent the ships of Baiyun City, and at the same time he wanted to purchase some goods from Baiyun City. The ships that the Mi family looked at were naturally the Neptune transport ships. Of course, it is unknown whether they were also interested in the Neptune series of warships. However, Yang Tian did not intend to sell any of the Neptune series of ships. Now these ships are not enough. How could they be sold? If they were handed over to Baiyun City for transportation, Yang Tian was very willing, which was also Yang Tian's original plan.

Yang Tian said at the moment: "Brother Zi Fang's intention is clear, but the ships in our Baiyun City are still very limited. I am afraid that many times I can't keep up with the needs of your family. I want to ask, if you want to fully meet the cargo transportation of your family, how many ships are needed? Among the ships I own, each of the strongest transportation capabilities can transport 400,000 tons of cargo. Of course, if it is a thing that transports lighter weight, it will not be able to transport so many."

Mi Fang said in surprise: "General is serious? Such a large transport ship is rare in the world! This is far beyond my estimate. Let me calculate..."

Mi Fang thought for a while and said, "If all the general's transport ships are of this specification, then there are about 500 ships that can meet the needs of our family."

Yang Tian was shocked by this number, five hundred ships! What a huge number? From this we can imagine how strong the Mi family is in business. With the scale of all the territories of Baiyun City, to achieve perfect dispatch of personnel and materials, it is enough to have about one hundred Sea King transport ships, but the actual demand is less than this number.

However, the Mi family is a giant in business. With the vast area and numerous populations in the game world, the materials needed to be allocated every day are naturally massive, so it is understandable that 500 Neptune transport ships are needed.

Yang Tian said helplessly: "Brother Zifang. It's not that I don't want to agree to you, but I have less than 30 such transport ships in Baiyun City now. I'm afraid I can't meet Brother Zifang's needs for the moment."

Mi Fang smiled and said, "The general is worried too much. I never thought that the general would immediately take out five hundred such huge transport ships. This can be done slowly. What's more, what I'm talking about is the maximum demand for our family. In fact, some materials that are not very urgent can be transported by horse-drawn carriages, but the manpower and material resources are consumed more, and it takes longer. After deducting this part, our family can have two or three hundred such transport ships in normal times."

Yang Tiandao: "If this is the case, it is acceptable. However, before talking about this, there is another unhappy request. I would like to ask Brother Fang to consider it more."

Mi Fang immediately said: "If you have something to do, please say it directly. Since it is our cooperation, it is naturally necessary to benefit and benefit. If the general has difficulties, we will naturally do our best to solve them."

Yang Tiandao: "That's the case. Brother Zifang also knows that I have a large number of troops under my command, but the proportion of cavalry is too small. It's not that my soldiers are not suitable for being cavalry, but that my territory is located in the south and lacks high-quality war horses, so the establishment of cavalry has always been delayed. Your Mi family's commercial tentacles are spread all over the world, and there should be familiar people in the area of ​​Liangzhou, Youzhou. I wonder if I can ask Brother Zifang to help me to get a group of war horses here."

After hearing this, Mi Fang was a little surprised that war horses could be strategic materials in this society. Even with the ability of the Mi family, it would not be possible to easily get war horses. After a while, Mi Fang took a sip of tea and asked, "I wonder how many war horses the general needs? What time does it take?"

Yang Tian said: "I only need to have the best war horses, and the number is! Let's get 200,000 first!"

"Puff... cough... cough..." Mi Fang drank a sip of tea in her throat, but was immediately choked again, saying, "General, are you sure you are not wrong? You need 200,000 top-class war horses?"

A black line appeared on Yang Tian’s forehead. Are these 200,000 horses a lot? If it is true history, 200,000 high-quality war horses are indeed a terrifying number, but in the game world where the area has expanded by a thousand times, this number should not be very large. He said at the moment: "It is indeed necessary to have 200,000 high-quality war horses."

Mi Fang said: "According to our observations, General, your Baiyun City only has about 200,000 troops. Is the general ready to use all his soldiers to form cavalry? I admit that the combat effectiveness of cavalry is stronger than that of infantry, but the limitations of cavalry are much greater than those of infantry. As long as you enter the mountains or forests, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is not as good as that of ordinary infantry. Fang thought that it would be better to consider the general in a comprehensive manner, and coordination among the troops is also essential."

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Brother Zifang is too worried. I naturally know what you said. I am not stupid enough to use all the troops to form cavalry. After all, we are not the northern prairie. I need 200,000 high-quality war horses, partly to form cavalry by myself to alleviate the shortcomings of Baiyun City's lack of high-mobility army. On the other hand, I also plan to choose high-bred war horses from these 200,000 war horses for breeding, so as to reproduce better war horses and improve the cavalry combat capabilities of Baiyun City."

Mi Fang suddenly realized and said, "So that's it! The general is still very far-sighted. Since the general has already made plans for this, I believe he has found an excellent pasture, right?"

Yang Tiandao: "It is true. There is a large island above the East China Sea. It used to be a swamp, but later the swamp dried up and became an endless grassland. It is very suitable to stock war horses. Moreover, I have some special means, and it is naturally no problem to cultivate better war horses."

Mi Fang said happily: "Since that's the case, I will take up the general's business. However, when the general's horse farm can produce war horses, don't forget to hand over some of them to our Mi family for sale."

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. I wonder how long it will take for Brother Zifang to get this batch of war horses?"

Mi Fang's expression on her face was not very relaxed, saying, "After all, this is a top-class war horse, no better than those ordinary slow horses. As long as you can pay, you can get as much as you want. Such top-class war horses are important strategic materials for major forces. They will not choose to sell these war horses unless they have to, including the nomadic peoples in the north. But this is not unimaginable. As long as we can contribute to their preferences, it is not impossible to get these war horses."

Yang Tian suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's still Brother Zifang's wise. The most lacking of these ethnic groups on the grassland is iron weapons and food. As long as we can provide them with these two materials, we are not afraid that they will not hand over the war horses to us."

Mi Fang said with a plain face: "General, this trading of iron weapons and food with nomadic peoples violates the ban on Han Dynasty and should not be pronounced. Especially for commercial families like our Mi family, if they are involved in these things, they will definitely cause disasters to be exterminated. Please be cautious."

Yang Tian was stunned at first, but immediately understood what Mi Fang meant and smiled: "Brother Zifang, don't worry, I just want to add an elite cavalry to the Han Dynasty. After a while, I will send a subordinate to patrol the Bohai area for me. At that time, they will bring all military rations and weapons to conquer the nomadic peoples in that area. I believe that some people in Brother Zifang's family know very well about that area, and I would like to ask Brother Zifang to send someone to guide me."

Mi Fang immediately understood and said, "Fang must make arrangements for the general."

Yang Tian nodded and smiled, "Since this matter has been agreed upon, let's talk about the transport ship! I wonder what method Brother Zifang plans to cooperate in transportation?"

Mi Fang said: "Why did the general teach me?"
