Chapter 1839 The Border Trade Is Prosperous
"General Guan, eat meat." Zhang Zhiyun picked up half a rack of lamb chops from the large iron pot next to him, tore off two pieces and placed them on the oilcloth spread on the ground.
They did not enter the room, but ate outside under the sunshade net, drank mutton soup with no shirt, and broke out in a sweat.
Guan Yujin sat on the plate, tore off a rib, and scratched it with a knife. The meat on the ribs fell on the oilcloth, and he picked it up and dipped it in salt to eat.
"General Guan, if you sit here, we can rest assured. When you achieve military merit, I will give you the bulk of it."
Zhang Jiazhen first said that he should give up military achievements to avoid instability in people's hearts.
Guan Yujin swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "We have already achieved military merit when we came here. The military merit of killing the enemy has nothing to do with us."
He puts aside other people's concerns and gives all the military glory to you, Yu Lin Feiqiu doesn't need it.
"Is this thing strong?" Wang Han glanced at the telegraph machine next to him from time to time, feeling that he wanted to use it.
There was a relay station at his home, and he thought about sending a telegram to his home. The people at the station would send news to his home, and then ask him what happened at his home, and send it back immediately.
Just thinking about it makes me feel satisfied. Who else can?
So the sheep eaten today will be counted on him.
The soldiers on the front line brought back things from hunting. Many of them had no use for them, so they gave them to him in exchange. He shipped them back home and found someone to reprocess them. There was a profit in them.
The extra profits are exchanged for extra items, and he counts them as a reward.
Including things from the Hengye Army and the Xi Clan. Others' handling methods are inferior to his.
Originally, he wanted to exchange canned goods, Lijiazhuangzi fermented bean curd, hot sauce, black bean sauce and other items, and sell them elsewhere at higher prices.
In this way, the sergeants make money and his family makes money, which is a win-win situation.
But he heard that this was selling military supplies. If he could sell the cans today, would he sell the explosive packs tomorrow?
If caught, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Zhiyun and himself will all lose their heads.
He knew how to do business. He changed his approach. In the current season, there was a lot of grass on the grassland.
The teams that came back to rest in rotation went out to cut the grass and carried it back on horses.
He then made silage according to the method in the newspaper, and used it with dried grass to make money in winter.
We made an agreement with Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Zhiyun that the family would earn half of the money, and no one would suffer.
"It's so strong that it can't be reported as damaged, and even if it is reported as damaged, it can't be used by you." Guan Yujin guessed Wang Han's thoughts.
"I...I don't have to." Wang Han regretted.
"General Sun Yi is back." Someone suddenly shouted, and soon a group of horses and people appeared.
There are three people riding on each horse, and each horse is loaded with something, and people are following beside it.
Bales of grass like hills, skins of wild beasts, meat cured with lots of salt, pheasant feathers in net bags, dried chickens.
Someone came over to help unload the things, and the hay was piled up, along with other things, ready to be transported away.
Naturally, it was shipped to Wang Han's house, and he found someone to take care of it.
Someone from his family is here to keep an eye on everything.
Including pheasant feathers, used as jewelry, the price is not low.
"Jiedu Envoy, do you have some mutton soup to drink today? Did you know that we are coming back?" Sun Yi asked happily.
I saw it just now. Eating outside feels different from home. It is inconvenient to make mutton soup when going out.
"Go take a shower quickly. When you're done, come over to eat and talk."
Zhang Jiazhen will not tell them for now. He will wait until everyone has finished taking a bath and relaxed before telling them.
Those who came back immediately ran to the bathtub, rubbed soap and washed themselves with cold water, and then took a hot bath in the evening.
I usually don't want to use soap, but I use it now, otherwise the smell on my body will be too great.
In less than ten minutes, Sun Yi came over shirtless, with half an inch of hair still stained with water droplets.
They were bald when they went out, but their hair grew out after a while, and they had to pick it off themselves once in the process.
"Where is the telegraph machine? Let me see what it looks like? Now it's better. I don't have to send my brothers back and forth when I go out. It's so scary!"
Sun Yi obviously found out about the situation while taking a shower, and he was anxious.
People came to him one after another to see something, so he drank the mutton soup in no hurry.
Amidst the beeping sound, Yulin Feiqi demonstrated once, and then the team cheered and ran to find food.
Sun Yi took out a leg of lamb from the pot, blew on it, picked off a piece, dipped it in salt, stared at the telegraph machine and giggled.
"Eat." Zhang Jiazhen said.
"Eat, eat, just eat, hehehe!" Sun Yi stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "That's great. I usually send my brothers back because I'm afraid of being caught by the Turks, and I'm also worried about encountering a pack of wolves. , I’m not afraid this time.”
"Eat slowly, General Sun. You guys brought a lot of things back. I took a quick look and saw there were more than ten wolves inside?"
Wang Han helped serve the soup. He had a Jianghu character and admired those who fought in the front.
"Yeah! Twenty-two of them. The telescope found them. The team spread out and surrounded them. None of them escaped. There were wolf cubs inside, and I was most afraid of them escaping."
Sun Yi gestured with her fingers, not feeling that killing the wolf cub was cruel at all.
Everyone understands that if the wolf cub escapes, he will be a problem once he survives.
They hold grudges, and in order to take revenge, they can stare at people for months, which is not the case normally.
After saying that, Sun Yi picked up the box of pepper noodles and put it in the bowl. There was no pepper, so eat some pepper to increase the taste.
"I brought pepper last time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Please save it and put a little more in when cooking meat, but it's still all eaten up."
Sun Yi took a sip of the soup and felt that it was not as delicious as the one with pepper.
After hearing this, Guan Yujin thought for a moment, turned on the telegraph machine, sent the message, and continued eating after sending it.
…
"Walking around and taking a look at the zoo will make you feel much better."
Li Dan walked under the sun without holding an umbrella, and his body became stronger and stronger.
Everyone has the same feeling. In fact, it has nothing to do with seeing animals. It solves the key problem of how to uphold the law of the country without killing people.
So we eat seafood when we eat, and there are trains transporting seafood back.
This time it was sold to a restaurant. As soon as the car pulled into the station, restaurants, restaurants, and wealthy families sent people to wait at the station.
There are a lot of shells, so Lijia Zhuangzi eats fried mixed clams today.
The tax department of the Ministry of Household Affairs sent people to the station with them. They did not charge tax on the food eaten by Lijiazhuangzi, but they did charge on the food they sold to others.
"In two months, will we be able to eat crabs? The crabs in the sea are good and have a lot of meat."
Bi Gou, who found that trains were very profitable, picked up a large scallop and dug into the meat with his chopsticks, thinking about the tax collected when selling crabs.
Seafood is charged a tax of 10 cents, and if it is sold in a restaurant, another tax is levied, which is a tax of 10 cents.
Song Jing said next to him: "Scallops that can be bought for one penny in Haizhou will be sold for at least ten yuan in Chang'an, which is ten times the profit."
"You can build trains and lay tracks, and I don't care if you make money."
Don't be fooled. You can buy a lot of seafood in Haizhou for one dollar. The key is that you can transport it back alive in one day?
Build the railway well, make the railway make more money, lay out longer tracks, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will collect the money.
For example, if 4,000 jins of seafood were sold today, the household department would collect 200 jins first and then another 400 jins.
After the telephone wire rack was passed, two trains were running at the same time, and more carriages could be pulled.
Even if there are more things and they are cheaper, overall taxes will increase and water will flow.
