Chapter 660: Buying Grain

Tuobayan turned the whip in his hand and glanced at the Fuyuan officer with disdain in his eyes.

"Gao Jie, I haven't heard of it." He waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up, punched and kicked the drivers and guards who were driving the car. "These food belongs to us."

Gao Jie was furious: "Brother, this is Fuyuan County. If you cross the boundary, Fuyuan is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"

Tuobayan laughed: "I did it, what do you do to me?"

Gao Jiesen said: "You have many people now, and I can't do anything about it, but I can teach this brother that the distance is only ten miles away, so I am stationed in Fuyuan's army, I am afraid that I can get things from there and transport them back."

"If I dare to rob it, I will naturally get it back." Tuobayan sneered.

"You can try!" Gao Jie did not give in: "Brother, we are allies and friends now. We, the county magistrate of Jiang, knows that you have sent food. He also allocated a lot of food to your Emperor every month. Your robbery can cause trouble and destroy the alliance between the two sides. Is it worth it for this little food? It's only more than 20,000 kilograms. I'm afraid that if you robbed these 20,000 kilograms, you will lose 200,000 kilograms. At that time, you will be unable to protect your head."

"If you dare to send our Dayan a pound of grain, our Dayan army will go to Fuyuan to take it." Tuobayan didn't want to give in at all.

Gao Jie sneered.

Murong Hai walked to Tuobayan and whispered: "General, this matter cannot be a big deal. Now we are not at the right time to turn against them."

"Sooner or later, what's the difference between turning around sooner or later?" Tuobayan stared at Gao Jie with his eyes, but he was answering Murong Hai's words.

"General, that's also the matter of the superiors. We can't do it!" Murong Hai continued: "The Ming people are aggressive, but we are still not yet firmly established. Although they occupy the three counties, the Yue people in the county have a close relationship with Jiang Haokun. Didn't the superiors keep saying that we should restrain ourselves for the time being?"

Tuobayan glared at him viciously: "I don't suffer this cowardly."

"For the time being, just tolerate it." Murong Hai was startled when he saw Tuobayan lifting the whip, for fear that this guy whom I wouldn't recognize was whipped at him. "General, you have a long-term future and you don't have to let your superiors take you as a scapegoat for this little food. If you really want to make a fuss, you are the first to be thrown out."

Tuobayan snorted and slowly put down the whip he lifted.

Seeing Tuobayan's heart was moved, Murong Hai was overjoyed and then said, "Anyway, you have a way, so our thousand brothers can't stand hungry, so don't care."

Tuobayan rolled his eyes and said, "Just retreating like this, I have no face at all. Damn it, didn't you say that no one came to greet the grain team before, and I would rob the baby if I rob it, and I wouldn't admit it. Now it's a problem. Do you want to just destroy them all?"

Murong Hai did not expect that Tuobayan would be so cruel and would kill everyone on the other side if he had a disagreement.

"General, this is not possible." He glanced at Gao Jie on the opposite side: "These food transporters are easy to kill, but the opposite side is full of cavalry. If we really want to start, although the number of people is several times that of our opponents, it is unlikely that we will be wiped out completely. As long as we run away one, it will be done."

"We thousands of people can still let them run away?" Tuobayan sneered.

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid that if I want to. Now our relationship is well maintained. The superiors don't want to turn against each other now. If the matter is getting big, we will definitely throw it away and put it in the jar. At that time, we will grab the food for Dayan, but we will still be detained. Why bother?" Murong Hai said.

Tuobayan licked her lips and nodded, "You said that, too. But I still have to settle the food."

Murong Hai smiled bitterly, and it turned out that he had been talking for a long time and had played the piano to the cow.

Tuobayan ignored him, but ignored Gao Jie on the other side. His eyes turned to the person behind him who looked like the shopkeeper who transported the grain, "Come here!"

The person with a palm-sided look slowly walked over, but there was not much fear on his face.

"What's your name?" Tuobayan lay halfway up and looked at the other party and asked.

"Zhang An, the grass-roots general." The shopkeeper bowed and said.

"Who is your boss?" Tuobayan glanced at the dozen or so carts, "Your boss is very good at hand. It's amazing that tens of thousands of kilograms of food can easily cross the blockade line to get here."

Zhang An stopped talking and looked down at his toes.

Tuobayan laughed: "Okay, I know you won't say it either, but if you don't say it, I can find out. How much is this 20,000 kilograms of grain worth in Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang An smiled slightly: "If you want to go back to the general, the Ming Dynasty will be in good weather this year, and a pound of grain is only 20 cents."

Tuobayan's eyes rolled, "So, more than 20,000 kilograms of grain here are worth only four or five hundred taels of silver. How much does it cost to sell it to Fuyuan?"

"I dare not deceive the general. These 20,000 kilograms of grain are worth 2,000 taels of silver."

"No wonder someone takes risks with a huge profit of five times." Tuobayan sighed: "Not to mention five times, even if there are two or three times, it is worth doing."

Zhang An smiled: "This is just the price of rice. In fact, other places spend more money, and finally getting it will be twice the profit."

"Of course, it costs money to bribe border guards and local officials. You can earn more than 1,000 taels of silver in one trip. If you go back and forth several times a month, you will get rich." Tuobayan said with a smile.

"This is the reason, but you also take great risks. If you fail, you will be beheaded."

"Not bad." Tuobayan laughed and looked at Zhang An with a malicious expression on her face: "Do you want to make more money?"

Zhang Anyi was stunned: "What does the general mean?"

Tuobayan straightened up, took out a package in his arms, weighed it in his hand, turned his head and reached out to Murong Hai, "Take it!"

Murong Hai was stunned for a while, but still didn't dare to refuse. He also took out a package from his arms and handed it to Tuobayan.

"It's still not enough, go and bring everything from each captain." Tuobayan waved.

Murong Hai did not dare to refuse, so he left with a horse. After a while, he took several small packages and handed them over to Tuobayan.

He threw all the packages in his hand to Zhang An, "You are rich. I have bought all the food here, and Fuyuan will give you only five times the profit. I will give you ten times the profit here."

Zhang An looked at Tuobayan in a little confused, but Gao Jie was furious over there: "What do you mean?"

"He Jue? If you buy grain, I will buy grain too. Whoever pays the price is higher, right?" Tuobayan sneered.

Gao Jie's face twitched a few times and said sinisterly: "Then you have to see if he is willing to sell it to you!"

Tuobayan turned the whip in her hand and looked at Zhang An with a smile: "Don't you want to sell it?"

Zhang An beat a Tuoer, and Tuobayan was putting him on the fire and roasting him! Selling? That must have offended Gao Jie. Establishing such a stable smuggling channel is not easy. It is not only his backstage boss who smuggled food to Fuyuan. If he threw away such a profitable business, he was afraid that the superiors would not be able to spare him. If he didn't sell, the barbarian general would get angry. If he really cut him down, Gao Jie could still make a decision for himself, and he would die in vain if he died.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Boss Zhang is worried about the future?" Tuobayan laughed softly.

"Not bad." Zhang An looked at the other party, "When doing business, we pay attention to dealing with each other and flowing slowly. Although this general offers a high price, we still lose money if we look closely."

"I understand!" Tuobayan nodded: "Since your boss is doing this kind of business, he must be very smart. Fuyuan is short of food, and our Dayan is even short of food, so we need this food more urgently. You don't have to worry about it in the future, because we will become old customers in the future. As long as you can transport it, we will collect as much as you can, and" he laughed and glanced at Gao Jie: "And our price is better than them. Doing business with us is a huge profit. We trade with gold, and we can even pay a portion of the money when we see the goods. How about it?"

Zhang An turned his head and looked at Gao Jie. Food was short of all places in Fuyuan. In the past, I didn’t know how to open up a safe channel for trading with the Yan people, so I could only trade with Fuyuan. Now it’s delivered to my door, but pies are falling from the sky. The key is that the barbarians are in their own place, and their reputation is not very good. It’s not clear whether the superiors will agree to this business. After all, it’s a beheading business. Making money is one end, but saving lives is more important.

After thinking through the interests inside, Zhang An bowed to Tuobayan: "We are doing business, so we naturally hope that the more customers the better. I don't know what to call this general?"

Tuobayan laughed and pulled off a waist sign from his waist, "It has my name on it. From now on, if you come to Ningyuan, you will naturally pass without any obstacles when you hold this sign. So, you have sold these grains to me."

"Of course." Zhang An bowed and said, "I am greedy for the amount of money you give, and I am also afraid of the profits of the knife in your hand."

"Not bad!" Tuobayan smiled and said, "I am a wise man. If you want more money, I come to me. If you want money, I want food. I will hit it off. We Yan people are not short of gold and silver."

Seeing all this, Gao Jie knew that the matter was irreversible. He snorted coldly, turned around and left, and then stood here again, and was just asking for embarrassment. If he really wanted to start, he would definitely suffer the loss in front of him.
