Chapter 664: For Sale
There are certain etiquette regulations in the interactions between nobles and clans.
?So Fei Qian now feels that this excuse is a bit funny.
Just here to congratulate?
Coming to congratulate empty-handed?
?Although Fei Qian is not a money-lover who values ??gifts, he has prepared some etiquette for the nobles. He does not need any gold or silver, and there is no need for that as a gift for meeting between nobles.
According to Fei Qian''s current standards, sending wild geese is a bit excessive, but sending white geese is basically no problem. Even if there are no wild geese and white geese in the Taihang Mountains, just catching two pheasants and wild ducks will be fine, and it doesn''t sound like it. What''s wrong.
?Looking at Fuyun''s slightly embarrassed expression, Fei Qian suddenly realized that in the Taihang Mountains, even pheasants and ducks could not be caught...
Perhaps it’s really impossible to catch him?
???Now the Montenegrin military population is so large, pheasants and wild ducks...
I''m afraid I ate it all, right?
"Thank you so much, General Pingnan..." Fei Qian smiled, forget it, don''t worry about that.
??Anyway, he definitely didn’t come here specifically to congratulate him. Zhang Yan, the general who evacuated the disaster, was well informed. He got the information deep in the mountains in just a few days.
Fei Qian suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "When Prefect Wen was in power, I wonder if General Ping Nan had regular contact with him?"
"Never. Occasionally I go down the mountain to buy something, but I have no contact." Fuyun said.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. So there are people from Heishan in Huguan now? Fei Qian quickly realized this. The news was not revealed intentionally, but Zhang Yan sent someone down the mountain to find out.
The Montenegrin Army has a history of joining the party!
Fei Qian continued to drink tea and thought quickly. Forget it, ignore it for the time being. He wanted to withdraw from the Shangdang anyway. There was no need to deal with these matters in a hurry now.
?However, Fuyun also revealed another piece of news in his words. If Fuyun did not intentionally tell lies to lead Fei Qian to take a detour, then it means that life in Montenegro is not very easy now...
The economic and production conditions of the Han Dynasty were destined to be impossible like those of later generations. You could sit at home with a mobile phone and do all kinds of things. Even errand running business came into being. If you wanted to stay at home, you would probably stay at home for half a year. There is no problem for a year, basically it can be delivered to your home...
But not in the Han Dynasty. Without trade and exchange, there is no way to obtain many things. You may be able to find some food in the Taihang Mountains, but what about things to wear, things to use, daily necessities, pots and pans, and even soldiers? Weapons, what to do with these losses?
One is to lead troops down the mountains to plunder the surrounding counties like Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Yu Du and others, and the other is to purchase and trade with the surrounding counties.
Because of Huguan, it is still inconvenient to raise troops to join the Shangdang. Therefore, according to Heishan''s previous strategy, he went south out of Taihang, and then went to Hanoi, Wei County and other places to plunder. If there was anything missing, he would rob it. The money came to go to Shangdang market for purchasing...
But there are problems with the current operation of this model.
??If you trade directly on the market, Montenegro does not have much money, and there are many things that are not available in the market. There are even some items that cannot be bought in the market...
For example, war consumables, arrows.
You may be able to buy arrows from ordinary blacksmith shops, but one of them is very expensive, and the other is that the production may not be standard. The weight of each arrow may be different, and the tail feathers may be of different lengths. This is purely for hunters. If the arrows used are to be used in a battle formation, every archer will be depressed to death...
??In addition, I heard that Cao Cao annihilated the Bai Rao tribe some time ago, and it seems that Yu Du was also defeated? So this basically means losing troops and generals, and then not getting any supplies.
?As a result, will Montenegro’s life be good this year?
Fei Qian smiled slightly, and then stopped talking, waiting. In this case, Zhang Yan must have other intentions in sending Fuyun.
Sure enough, after a while, Fuyun said: "Zhonglang, I have something to ask of you..." "What''s the matter? Lieutenant Commander, please tell me."
On Fuyun''s square face, his skin, which had been tanned by the scorching sun, also showed a little redness. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "The cold winter is coming, and the old and the weak in the mountains have no clothes to keep out the cold. I originally wanted to buy some in the market. How much, but the price of cloth on the market is really high now... I wonder if I can ask Zhonglang to give me some advice on how much I can purchase at last year''s price..."
Fei Qian was silent for a while.
Fei Qian naturally knows how big the gap between the price of cloth in previous years and this year''s price was under the influence of bad money. In addition, because the monetary system has basically collapsed, cloth has become a general equivalent and serves as a common currency on many occasions. The value of the object of exchange has increased, so the few pieces of cloth originally on the market have become even more scarce...
Logically speaking, Fei Qian should not give any supplies to the Black Mountain Army, but Fei Qian knew in his heart that most of the Black Mountain Army were not evil people, just like the White Wave Army who were carried away, except for some Those whose hands are stained with blood and have lost their humanity, most of the others are still timid and fearful people.
?So give it or not give it?
Fei Qian did not say that the Montenegro Army was called an army, but in fact it was still engaged in thieves'' activities, etc., because Fei Qian knew that it was useless to say so. A loose organization like the Montenegro Army was not even a cloud. Zhang Yan may not be able to control all the troops.
Yes, those Montenegrin thieves who did evil in Hanoi and Wei County do not deserve mercy even if they freeze to death, but what about the refugees who gathered in Montenegro because they fled? Not worthy of mercy either?
?These refugees may not want to join the Montenegrin Army, but they will find that there is no other place to go except Montenegro.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, refugees have no human rights. No matter what the reason is, if they leave the land without a formal settlement, and the government catches them, they will have only two consequences: becoming a hard laborer, or being sent to the army...
?So Fei Qian looked at the floating clouds and said, "There is no need to buy. I will transfer twenty pieces of cloth to you."
Fuyun quickly left the table and thanked him.
Fei Qian motioned for him to stand down, and then said: "Qian only has one word to bother the captain and general Pingnan..."
“But I heard the command from Zhonglang.”
?Fei Qian said word for word: "It is easy to miss a good opportunity if you wait for the price to sell."
?Fuyun was silent for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "I will definitely bring the words of Zhonglang to you."
?Perhaps the request for cloth to keep out the cold was just a superficial act. General Zhang Yan used this method more to test the attitude of Fei Qian, a newly powerful figure in the Shangdang, towards the Montenegrin Army. So Fei Qian''s last words are also very clear. They are both a reminder and a warning...
For sale is not a derogatory term, it is neutral, so it may be better, but it may also be worse.
The TV drama during lunch today:
Political workers mobilized: "Brothers, the eight-year war of resistance is about to begin! We want to..."

The screenwriter must have written it while squatting in the toilet...
