The further west you go from Pingxiang, the colder the weather becomes.

Lingju Castle in Jincheng County had already received a light snowfall in October.

Based on last year's experience, Dongfeng Express has already prepared winter clothing, as well as various pickles, grains, and even Yuexi's specialty: pickled fish.

This year's Dongfeng Express no longer only uses Yunnan horses as a means of transportation.

As the chairman of Dongfeng Express and in control of various tribes in Longyou, how could Feng Junhou waste the resources he had at hand?

Therefore, this year the Qiang Protector School's Office cooperated with Dongfeng Express and introduced a good policy.

That is, as long as each tribe gathers enough manpower and material resources, they can then report to the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion.

Help Dongfeng Express transport goods from Qishanbao to Jincheng, Xiping, Xiaoguan and other places.

When they arrive at the farm, Dongfeng Express will give them a unique ticket.

With the ticket, you can go to the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion to redeem various things.

What can be done to offset previous debts, exchange for grain, wool, or even salt, etc.

This policy was praised by the Hu brothers in Longyou, who believed that Feng Langjun was providing benefits to himself in disguise.

At least this year everyone can make some extra money and eat more food during the Chinese New Year than last year.

"Brother, are we going to increase the price of this wool?"

After delivering the last batch of supplies, Xu Xun entered the house, took off his sheepskin hat, shook the woolen cloak on his body, and rinsed away the fine snow particles.

The house in Lingju is not as good as in Pingxiang, let alone Nanxiang.

In addition to taking advantage of the privilege to make a big kang temporarily, the daily way to stay warm is to sit by the fire and warm yourself up.

"Did you eat leopard gallbladder?"

Feng Yong was roasting a leg of lamb, and when he heard Xu Xun's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

"The supply of wool to the army is a contract. If you dare to raise the price halfway, your family will hang you up and beat you."

Feng Junhou was simply convinced by this guy.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been running express delivery for too long and I’ve gotten into the businessman’s spirit, but if I keep my mouth shut, the price will go up.

Labor is rising.

Dry food, rising.

Now the woolen materials will also increase.

Feng Yong felt that this guy would one day be swollen to death.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Xu Xun took off his cloak, leaned in front of the fire, and stretched out his hand to warm himself.

"What I mean is that our raw materials are difficult to supply to the army, so we have to squeeze out a share and sell them to Soochow."

"Not to mention the road from Longyou to Guanzhong, even the road to Jincheng is hard to find."

"So why can't the price of the wool we sell to Soochow increase?"

Selling wool to Soochow is a semi-political mission. After all, we have to import coarse sugar from them, so it’s not a loss.

Feng Yong was too lazy to deal with this money-hungry guy.

"Last year we were able to get a batch of low-grade wool from the workshop in Nanzheng, but now the guys in Nanzheng are selling even low-grade wool."

When Xu Xun saw Feng Yongyong talking, he muttered without giving up and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Nanzheng Workshop.

"I just sell that low-grade wool, but the price is ridiculously expensive."

"I don't know how dark my heart is to do such a thing. And those who bought it with money, I don't know if they are fools..."

"Say less!" Feng Yong scolded, "Nanzheng Workshop is run by the government. Can you give me advice on how to make it?"

Xu Xun was so frightened that he turned around and looked at the door to make sure there was no outsider, then he laughed and said, "Isn't this just for my brother?"

Feng Yong said "tsk" and secretly thought that these guys are really getting bolder and bolder.

Sure enough, the greed of capital makes people have no scruples.

In the past, under the high pressure of Old Demon Zhuge, who would have dared to say such a thing?

Now that Xu Xun said this, there may not be some people behind him who want it.

"Isn't the workshop in Pingxiang already in operation?"

Feng Yong turned over the leg of lamb and gave Xu Xun an even more sinister idea, "Which workshop can produce quality wool for the first time?"

"Won't you think of a way to collect those unqualified wool materials in advance?"

Xu Xun was a little puzzled, "But brother, even if this kind of wool is not good, then isn't the Hu man's treasure still tight?"

"In addition, my brother took the low-grade wool produced in the Nanzheng workshop last year to fool the Hu people. Who among those rich people is not smart? How could they let go?"

Sheep breeding in this era was far inferior to that of later generations.

Not to mention the yield and quality of wool.

Even though there are five wool spinning workshops in Pingxiang, in terms of size, they may not be even half as big as the Nanxiang workshop.

Half of Longyou's wool will be taken away by the government, and most of it will be given to Nanzheng Workshop.

However, Nanzheng Workshop's government-run operation, management concepts, management methods, production efficiency, and even market acumen are far from comparable to Nanxiang Workshop.

Not to mention that Nanxiang Workshop has a top CEO like Li Mu.

Therefore, the rate of defective wool produced by Nanzheng Workshop every year is very high.

When it comes to quality, the fineness of the wool produced by Nanxiang Workshop is far superior to that of Nanzheng.

Feng Yong sneered, "Haha", "If the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion can do this kind of thing, can others do it too?"

Last year, how many barbarian tribesmen in Longyou had no food to eat and no clothes to wear?

The Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion did that last year for the sake of the overall situation and so that the Hu brothers could have something to keep out the cold during the winter.

You civilians also want to do this. Have you asked the Qiang Protector's Office for their opinions?

Can you afford it if something goes wrong and causes dissatisfaction if you use bad materials to fool the Hu brothers?

From a political point of view, the Qiang Protector's Office would not allow aristocratic families to mix with the Qiang and Hu.

Reach out to chop off your hands, stretch out your feet to chop off your feet.

The purpose of giving them such great benefits was not to please them, but to use their path to open roads to Wei, Wu, and even the grasslands and the Western Regions.

Domestic sales are impossible. Before the unification of the world, it is impossible for them to sell domestically. Only exports can maintain a living standard.

The right to sell domestically can only be in the hands of oneself, cough, cough, the government.

"ah?"

Xu Xun was stunned when he heard this.

He really couldn't believe that such a thing could be said like this.

He couldn't understand something.

"You don't understand." Feng Yong waved his hand, "Just go to your sister-in-law and they will make arrangements."

Using the origin of raw materials and the dumping place of products as bait, semi-forced the aristocratic families to expand outward, giving them a strong desire to unify.

With Xu Xun's IQ, it's normal that he can't understand this concept.

With Zhang Xingyi's political talent, he might understand something after studying the things in his bookcase.

"Which sister-in-law?"

Xu Xun didn't really expect to understand what was going on inside.

Because even though I didn’t quite understand what I heard, I still felt it was a bit perceptive.

My brother's insidiousness, ah, no, I mean, my brother's foresight is obvious to all.

"Which sister-in-law is there? Of course it's Zhang. Well, don't you only have one sister-in-law?"

Xu Xun suddenly said, "I understand, I understand! I understand everything!"

"You know nothing!"

Seeing Xu Xun's ambiguous expression, Feng Junhou cursed angrily.

This bastard actually allowed himself to accidentally let something slip, which is really an unforgivable crime.

"First go to Pingxiang to find Sister Guan to clarify, and then go to Nanxiang to find Li Mu."

Feng Junhou emphasized the word "pass" very seriously.

"Nanxiang Workshop is now responsible for supplying the weavers and handymen needed by Pingxiang Workshop."

"If someone doesn't even sell us bad materials, then... Li Mu will naturally know how to do it."

Xu Xun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand, Sister-in-law Guan and Sister-in-law Li!"
