Chapter 154 The Battle of Changping (9)
Chapter 154: Battle of Changping (9)
In the afternoon, Huang Xuan walked out of the palace slowly, Lian Po went to rectify the military. This time, King Zhao decided to recruit 30,000 strong men again, plus half of the imperial guards to rush to Changping, and another 10,000 strong women's logistics. This was almost the last armed force of Zhao State.
The air was floating in the air with heat, as if blowing air between each other, trying to cool down the temperature, but it became hotter and hotter.
The afternoon in Handan was a bit dry and hot. Huang Xuan put his hands on his hips and thought that when he went out and rode his horse, he would have cooled down when he had speed. Dian Wei was wearing a tight Hu suit, but he had no discomfort. Maybe his heart was calm and naturally cool.
"Huang Jun." Xinling Jun shouted politely from behind. Logically, he could not be called a king outside, but etiquette and privilege are used to overcome them. Zhao Sheng was also doing this to show respect. After all, the monarch and ministers of Zhao were still very uncertain about his identity and status.
When Huang Xuan heard the name "Huang Jun", he was very embarrassed and said, "Pingyuan Jun, don't call me like this, just call me Huang Xuan. Everyone who knows me calls me that."
Zhao Sheng was of course very curious about Huang Xuan's origin. He smiled calmly and said, "I will call you Huang Xuan."
"good."
Huang Xuan said a short word and stopped talking. Zhao Sheng continued: "Huang Xuan, how sure are you to bring food into Changping."
Huang Xuan left early just now, and the gentlemen of Zhao State should have talked about something again. Huang Xuan glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said to Lorraine: "Come invisible."
The light on Huang Xuan's body suddenly became distorted. Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that the "Huang Jun" who was still talking to him just now had disappeared.
20 seconds later, Huang Xuan appeared behind Zhao Sheng, patted his shoulder, and said, "Pingyuan Jun? How?"
Zhao Sheng quickly adjusted his emotions and said in a slightly excited voice: "It's great, Huang Jun, I'll feel relieved."
Huang Xuan praised in his heart: This is the true style of a politician. He will never be afraid of strength. The enemy will only be the enemy who can eliminate the enemy. Those who can do this should be kept in history.
"Huang Xuan." After being excited, Zhao Sheng said confidently: "Tonight, let's go to Changping together, okay?"
"Are you ready for the food?" Huang Xuan shook his head. He also knew that the situation in Changping could not be delayed anymore, but he also knew that the Zhao army in Changping could hold on for many more days. It is unwise to leave now. Only when the other party needs you extremely, can he be valuable.
He patted Old Man Zhao's shoulder intimately and said, "Mr. Pingyuan, I know that if you take out all the surplus grains and support Changping, you have thought about how to defend Handan if Changping still fails? Just give me one night, you can add 100,000 stones or a million stones of grain. Why not do it without doing it?"
"Million Stones?" Pingyuan Jun said in disbelief: "Can you really take out so much food?"
Huang Xuan nodded heavily and said, "As long as you have so many animals."
Pingyuan Jun looked at Huang Xuan's unpredictable eyes and said, "I still have more than 3,000 cattle and horses in my ranch..."
He did not continue to say anything, and Huang Xuan immediately followed up and said, "If Pingyuan Jun is willing to sell 3,000 heads at a time, add 10,000 yuan per head. If you can make up 4,000 heads, you will get 35,000 yuan per head. The price of grain is 90 yuan per stone, how much is it to exchange for."
35,000 yuan is already the average price in the market. Pingyuan Jun said happily: "Okay, Huang Jun will go to the ranch with me now."
Huang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's time tonight, there are still many animals in Dongcheng City that have not been dealt with." He added, saying, "I won't sleep tonight. If Pingyuan Jun can help me collect more, I can save some worry."
He said it very slowly, and Lorraine also translated it very slowly. Pingyuan Jun immediately understood that Huang Xuan had to collect enough animals before he was willing to leave. Although he didn't understand why he wanted so many animals, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Huang Jun."
...
In the past day, Huang Xi has been addicted to a big businessman. Never have so many people come to beg him. Those big men who used to disdain him now have flattered their faces. Some people are not very comfortable with the sudden change of identity. They smile stiffly on their faces, and the fake smile on their faces makes people feel more enjoyable.
There is nothing more important than food.
1 stone of grain is only 80 yuan, although it is only 10 stone cheaper than the market, but in fact, there is not much grain sold in the grain shop. At this time when the price of grain is rising, who does not have the mentality of selling it?
Huang Xuan’s request was that as long as they were living animals, they would be all kinds of chickens, cows, dogs and pigs, but in a large number of them, a group of new second-hand dealers, or even three-hand dealers, were soon added to Dongshi. They collected various animals from retail investors at a lower price, and then sold them to a certain merchant. The merchant had enough of ten large animals or hundreds of small animals to trade in one transaction, and sold them with yellow mats for food, and then used them to exchange them for animals from the offline line.
The people of the Warring States Period were wise.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the three large granaries behind Huang Xi. The wheat that Huang Xuan rented was left for Huang Xi to sell. He was guarded by King Zhao's guards. Those who were not clear suddenly thought that it was the royal family selling grain.
The three granaries had about 3,000 tons of grain, which was 90,000 shi, worth 810,000 yuan. In half a day, almost 20 cows and more than 200 pigs were replaced. However, more and more people came to hear the news. Sweat was seeping out of the yellow mat's nose. After a while, there was no grain sold, and things would be bad.
Fortunately, Huang Xuan rushed back soon. Seeing the people holding chickens and pigs and sheep in front of him, Huang Xuan was deeply trapped in the labor army. With Dian Wei passing through the human wall, Huang Xi could no longer support him.
"Continue to sell." Huang Xuan hurriedly put grain into the three granaries. Most of the remaining grain crops are corn, which are not available now, and it seems that they can only be used to feed livestock.
"Lu Min." After putting down the food, Huang Xuan looked at the crowded Dongshi, took out the biomagnetic card and dialed it, and asked, "Have your plane channel been opened?"
"No problem."
"Okay, we're sending each other one by one. I'm probably going to have thousands of animals now. Can you sort them out there?"
"Full-automated operation." Lu Min said with a glorious sense: "The technology level of r001 is the highest in several nearby planes."
"Then there is no problem." Huang Xuan thought for a while, and finally asked, "How do you usually deal with non-biological substances in animals?"
"You mean feces and mud?"
"Uh, that's right."
"How about intestinal cleaners and adsorbents? It can be solved regularly. If you want to have 1 minute, you can just 1 minute. If you want to have 30 minutes, you can also."
Huang Xuan said bluntly: "Send me a batch, I'm not prepared this time."
"Now." Lu Min likes Huang Xuan's politeness, which makes him feel closer to the "Glorious Noble".
...
The East City of Handan was a big market, but with the ongoing Changping War, business gradually declined. Huang Xuan found the city manager (market supervision of the Warring States Bureau of Industry and Commerce) and asked for several acres of large open space behind the market, driving all the animals over.
Intestinal cleaners are very simple in the form of medicine. When they encounter active saliva, they will automatically stick to the animal's body according to the set time to promote intestinal cleansing. The adsorbent needs to be sprayed on the organism, which will automatically absorb non-biomass and condense and fall off. Huang Xuan took out a few plates and handed them over to a 13-year-old servant, saying, "Piece here and feed each livestock one at one end." Then he called two boys and handed them the adsorbent that he also thought was postmodern to the two, and said, "You put this small box, uh, this thing that looks twisted but sealed, press it over each livestock, don't you know the sky? It's the top of your head, count three times, and then change one. Do you understand?"
The three little servants were very clever. Not only did they know how to separate the fed and the unfed ones with fences. Huang Xuanze walked away with his nose covered his nose.
...
The servants of the Huang Mansion all knew that their new master was a very capable person. At least they could not see magic tricks such as the big change of live cattle and the big change of grain before, so they worked harder and harder.
Unfortunately, Huang Xuan never returned to the house given by King Zhao. He hurriedly sent the newly bought livestock to r001, and then exchanged the edible food for livestock. When the sun rose from the east again, the outside of Handan City was filled with landlords and farmers from Jingxing, Fukouxing, and Zhudao.
The price comparison between r001 and edible grain is between 1:200 and 1:500. According to the most expensive oxen calculation, Huang Xuan needs 21,000 kilograms of grain to exchange for a strong oxen. During the Warring States Period, the oxen generally weighs only 400 kilograms, which is almost 1:140. On average, if you take off energy consumption, you will have about 40% of the profit and countless digits of energy income after the decimal point. As for the price of pigs and sheep, it is much lower. If a pig is 80 kilograms, the exchange rate is below 1:30, and the profit has exceeded 100%.
As Pingyuanjun's 5,000 cows and horses and tens of thousands of pigs and sheep were sent to Dongshi, the entire Handan was sensation. The aristocrats who had been hesitant saw this scene and could not stand it. The breeding industry in the Warring States Period had already reached a large scale. There were stables of cattle and horses, pigs and sheep, and the feed was fodder. The straw was processed after being cut, and the fodder was essential, and the feed was mainly millet and beans (beans). The price was quite high. When the food price soared, the cost and risk of continuing to raise it was higher. In ancient times, people did not know the term risk, but they could feel it emotionally.
Therefore, Pingyuan Jun’s cattle and horse were like a banner, instantly increasing Huang Xuan’s workload by 10 times. He had to announce that more than 100 large animals were required to trade with him, 300 pigs and sheep, and 1,000 chickens and dogs were required.
Since the time between different planes is independent, the moment Huang Xuan sent the cattle and sheep into the channel - Lu Min could receive it - but for these cattle and horses, they might have passed for several hours.
After a rough point, Lu Min would send him food, and Huang Xuan had no time to check it out, and then proceeded to the next batch. He had already formed more than 10 circles of livestock, occupying half of the East City. The non-biological substances on the ground had been shoveled more than a hundred times, all relying on the servants sent by Pingyuan Jun. If this were not the case, the East City would have been inauspicious.
On the third night, Pingyuan Jun sent someone to urge him, and Huang Xuan reluctantly said to Lu Min: "There is no need to exchange it for food from now on. Just sell it for me, shares are good."
Prepare for the future, and you will thank yourself when you need it. Huang Xuan still remembers the family’s small classroom.
Lu Min agreed with regret. He had not had a moment of rest in the past three days, but as long as he looked at the growing hot circle on his magnetic card, he was full of motivation. I don’t know whether this "glory noble" hates trouble or wants him to share some profits. All livestock are calculated based on the number of heads. In the protozoa trading hall, the transaction of protozoa is very complex and accurate, including a hundred and ten factors such as type, age, production location, production method, meat quality, etc. On average, he can get a premium of about 15%. After deducting the money and energy of renting plane communication, it is also higher than the annual travel income.
As for Huang Xuan, he had unknowingly traded more than 50,000 animals and more small animals. According to the profit margin, the extra grain was more than 1 million tons, or 30 million stones, which was higher than the annual output after the completion of Dujiangyan, Sichuan. This is the power of technology.
After the Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal, the grain output per mu was only 70 kilograms, which was incomparable to modern grain output, not to mention the production efficiency of r001. The reason why it could not exchange more animals was that the transportation in the East City - this place was already the best place for transportation in the entire Warring States Period. At its heyday, tens of thousands of animals could be traded every day, but if tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of tons of grain were added, the efficiency here would be too low.
This is also the reason why Huang Xuan insisted on a large number of transactions. For example, Pingyuan Jun, he sold a total of 20,000 animals to Huang Xuan, worth 240,000 tons of grain. If it piled into 500 meters in length and width, it would be 10 meters high. It is 20 times the weight of the grain brought by Huang Xuan, worth 100 million US dollars. It takes 500,000 vehicles to be transported by a 5-ton truck, and 500,000 times to be transported by a carriage with a load of 500 kilograms. If Huang Xuan did not go to his rice warehouse to trade with him, this transaction alone would be enough for him to be busy for more than ten days.
Thanks to the Warring States residents' tolerance to non-natural phenomena, after Pingyuan Jun took the lead, the big merchants from all over the country were willing to trade with Huang Xuan in another place, and sent cattle and horses to the East City. Huang Xi then circled them in a unit of thousands of heads, waiting for Huang Xuan to send them away. This kind of credibility was the inherent guarantee of the "fighting for food" plan that lasted for 7 days.
In addition, so many grain transactions obviously surprised the king and ministers of Zhao. What was surprised was naturally Huang Xuan's ability, and what was happy was to obtain so much food. The population of Zhao would never exceed 5 million or 1 million tons of food. Even if the oxen were sold, it would be able to survive two years, let alone at such a crisis moment.
Therefore, on the fifth day after Huang Xuan came to this plane, on the seventh day when he started the livestock transaction, Huang Xuan received a government order, with a total of 200,000 animals, mainly horses, pigs and sheep, as well as a small number of oxen, with a total value of 1 billion US dollars. After changing to the hot circle, Lu Min was immediately frightened and said stuttered: "I have applied for a magnetic card for you based on your physical characteristics. You will become the most popular VIP in r001, and it must be."
However, a large amount of food is of course a good thing, but the survival of the whole country's military forces did not last long. Pingyuan Jun developed from one urging to four urging every day. On the seventh day, he even followed the light car, regardless of the dirty things in the East City, and waited for Huang Xuan to set off.
