Mohist Tang

Chapter 582

After Li Jing returned to Chang’an City, a batch of soldiers began to withdraw to Chang’an City in an orderly manner, but there were still a large number of soldiers stationed in Lanzhou City, continuing to shock Tuyuhun and the party affairs ministries supported Mo Dun.

However, Mo Dun still appeared and disappear unpredictably for several days, and there was no silhouette at all. As a last resort, Gao Shilian had to come to stop Mo Dun himself.

Now that the Shandong Province is a disaster, the victims are waiting to be fed. I dont know what Chancellor Mo can do to sell cattle and sheep for the Imperial Court as soon as possible in exchange for money. Gao Shilian went straight to the subject.

Mo Dun rubbed his red eyes. He has barely closed his eyes in the past few days, and has been investigating the conditions of the Tuyuhun tribes.

“Lord Gao, if my Great Tang wants to control the land of Qinghai for a long time, it is impossible to kill chickens and get eggs, and sell all the cattle and sheep, otherwise my Great Tang can only have another war.” Mo Dun said resolutely.

Gao Shilian nodded said: “For Chancellor Mo, how much trophies I can take from Great Tang is better.”

Mo Dun thought a little bit: “Up to 30%, and We must announce this years tax exemption, otherwise it will surely provoke uprisings among the Tuyuhun tribes.”

If Great Tang wants to do a one-off sale, it can naturally levy more than 50%, but Great Tang impossible Give up the land of Qinghai, the pasture land that Great Tang finally got.

“However, 30% of the miscellaneous animals may not be able to solve the flood in Shandong Province!” Gao Shilian frowns saying. Although he agreed with Mo Dun’s point of view, the flood in Shandong Province was right in front of his eyes. The task is to raise enough money for disaster relief in Shandong Province. If the people of Shandong Province suffer because of a momentary softheartedness, it would be very bad.

Mo Dun haha said with a smile: “Dont worry, Lord Gao. From the youngsters point of view, there are many valuable things in Qinghai, but its not just these cattle and sheep. This is the 1st Step. Youngster promises to do so. Can save enough money for the Shandong Province land.”

Since the next task, Mo Dun will naturally have to do it properly. Not only must he complete the task of raising funds beautifully, but also Let the Imperial Court completely control the land of Qinghai.

“Chancellor Mo’s method, the old man can naturally trust it.” Gao Shilian believed in his lips, but left anxiously.

Following Mo Duns order, the news that Tang Army levied only 30% of the livestock as trophies came on the banks of Qinghai Lake. The various departments of Tuyuhun, who had been worried, were finally sighed in relief.

On the grassland, the defeated party does not only collect 30% as trophies. It is often the death of the clan. 30% of the livestock as trophies is already a great kindness and did not arouse Tuyuhun. The disgust of everyone.

Especially with the news of this years tax exemption, the process of collecting the spoils this time was extremely smooth, and almost all the tribes readily paid their livestock.

All of a sudden, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses gathered on the grassland outside Lanzhou City, which looked particularly spectacular, but they were still being delivered continuously.

“With so many cattle and sheep, I believe that Shandong Province will be able to support a long time.” Gao Shilian looked at the livestock covering the mountains and plains, and the cavalry not far away was riding The war horse drove the cattle and sheep, and the wrinkled old face showed a faint smile.

“The livestock has been delivered, what I have to do next is to sell these cattle and sheep.” Mo Dun also said with a smile on his face.

“This is the strength of Chancellor Mo, the old man will wait for the good news.” Gao Shilian said heartily.

“If the goods are good, dont worry about selling them. The cattle, horses and sheep in Qinghai are all first-class livestock. I believe there will be people who know the goods.” Mo Dun haha smiled, pointing to the many merchants who came after hearing the news .

Businessmen are chasing profits, and such a big event of the West Expedition involves too much interest. It almost attracted the attention of famous businessmen in the world. When Mohist Family Son controlled the fate of Qinghai After the news came.

Be aware that all the merchants who follow Mohist Village will make a fortune. Take the wealth myth of Mohist Family Son as an example. All merchants gather in Lanzhou City like cats smelling fishy smell.

In front of the Lanzhou Prefects Mansion, when Li Jing left, it was logically called Gao Shilians foothold, but now it was requisitioned by Mo Dun. In the entire prefects mansion, merchants from the vast crowd gathered.

“Lord Marquis Mo!”

“Chancellor Mo!”

When Mo Dun entered the prefect In the Fuzhong, famous businessmen rushed forward one after another, greeted warmly one by one, some were friendships, and some handed their Patriarch’s famous posts.

Mo Dun all came one after another and said hello and accepted the famous post.

When Mo Dun came to the main position, all the merchants were silent, only one after another staring at Mo Dun with hot eyes.

“Many thanks to everyone, the purpose of this batch of cattle and sheep must be clear to everyone. It is to raise money for disaster relief for the victims of the disaster in Shandong Province.” Mo Dun said solemnly,

All businessmen can’t help being frowned. They come for profit, but Mo Dun tells them disasters, which is not in line with their plan!

Looking at the reactions of the businessmen, Mo Dun was as expected, and couldnt help but change his words: So the purpose of the Imperial Court is to raise money from these cattle and sheep as soon as possible. , The price is naturally not high enough?”

Mo Dun reported a price to the cattle, horses and sheep, and the merchants in the audience suddenly smiled. According to this price, they are indeed profitable. Abundance.

“So this sale is based on volume, with a minimum of 100 heads per batch.” Mo Dun put forward a condition.

“Hundred heads!” A group of businessmen can’t help being frowned. This number is quite large. If you can’t make a timely deal, I am afraid it will be easy to fall into your own hands, but then again, if you can sell them all, It will naturally make more.

Everyone is naturally aware of the pros and cons. There are many big businessmen who are immediately excited, and many small businessmen have also begun to join together quietly, preparing to jointly eat a batch of cattle and sheep.

All morning, the first wave of transactions finally came out with Statistics.

“Five hundred horses, 10,000 cows, and 8,000 sheep.” Gao Shilian looked at the results of Statistics in front of him with joy and sorrow.

The good news is that selling so many livestock at once. This large sum of money can greatly ease the financial pressure of the Imperial Court. Whats worrying is that the most sold cattle this time are in quantity. The largest number of sheep sold only 8,000, and the most expensive horse only sold 500 horses.

Mo Dun nodded unsurprisingly: “The demand for cattle is endless in my Great Tang, and most of the cattle in Qinghai are strong cattle, which are naturally sought after.”

A cow can cultivate the land, and one cow is enough to cover three adult labors. It is a symbol of a family’s wealth. Moreover, the price of beef remains high in Great Tang. As long as the cow is driven back to the Central Plains, it is naturally stable. A profitable business.

Gao Shilian frowns saying: “But if the cattle are sold out, how about leaving the horses and sheep in the hands of the Imperial Court?”

Mo Dun slightly smiled, looked towards Chang’an City There is a trace of self-belief in the direction of the person: “Since we have encountered a problem here, we need the cooperation of the Imperial Court.”
