C200 I'm such a genius

Over the next few days, Xiao Wen started to discuss the details with Rao Dun.

In the process, Xiao Wen also proposed many items that looked like they would revitalize the business, but they would all end up being cheap to Xiao Wen.

For example, by striking out against the horse bandits on the Huns, we can ensure the safety of the merchants who come and go, so as to stimulate more merchants to come to the Huns.

But in reality, this was letting the big man off easy.

After all, there were so many less mounted gangsters in the Southern Mountains, so even Yun Zhong City could reduce the pressure on their defense.

This is also tantamount to providing protection in the clouds.

At the same time, Xiao Wen suggested that, in the future, he should use part of his annual trade income to finance the construction of roads in the Huns.

"Guan Zhong, the sage of all Xia, once said that if you want to be rich, you have to build your own path first. So, if the Prince wants to make the country rich, he has to build a road. "

"Is that really the case? Did Guan Zhong really say something like that? " Raton was confused.

Because Confucius, the master of Confucius, once said: "Micro-tube zhong, I was left to be humbled by the left side of his hair."

Thus, Guan Zhong's evaluation of the scholar race was not bad.

He had seen The Tube when he was traveling in the South. There didn't seem to be that in The Tube.

"Yes, yes. After all, the Confucian School had cut down on commercially related matters by a lot. However, I still retained some unabridged content from my followers. "One day when I'm free, I'll definitely give you a copy of [Ji] deleted [si] subtracted [hua] from [Duan]."

"If that's the case, then I'll thank you here first." Forthright cupped his hands and thanked Xiao Wen.

However, he didn't know that Xiao Wen didn't want to make him rich by letting him cultivate.

But he thought, if one day the Han Empire wanted to attack the Huns, then this road could be completely used by the army of the big men.

It was much easier for the burly man to control the Huns in the future.

"Hehe!" I really am a genius. " Xiao Wen thought proudly in his heart.

As the saying goes, money can make a fool of itself. Under the power of wealth, people can gain great power.

Thus, a few days later, when Xiao Wen was ready to return home, he immediately gathered a cavalry unit and rode south with Xiao Wen, who was ready to return home.

"Did you see that? "Sir, if I were to use my mouth, these Huns would send a cavalry soldier to send me home." With the protection of the Huns, Xiao Wen no longer felt the sense of insecurity he had before.

At this moment, he lazily said as he laid in the carriage.

"Teacher has great talent, the students admire him. It's just that I don't know when this student will have the ability to do so. " Zhuge Liang said.

"You are not a rogue cultivator, so naturally, you have to start from military merits to raise your status. You still don't have to learn Su Qin Zhang Yi's horizontal and horizontal techniques. " Xiao Wen said as he waved his hand.

His ability to teach was not only based on the students' talents, but also on their status and choices.

Just like Zhuge Liang, although he also had the talent to use words to play with his family, the world was in a state of disarray.

However, the Han Empire of this world was not on the brink of the collapse of the legal system, as it had been in his previous life.

The military meritorious service system determined that the local citizens could not be promoted other than through military merits, except for foreign immigrants like Xiao Wen.

Therefore, according to Xiao Wen's plan, Zhuge Liang would have to learn the military command theory for the first third of his life.

When he was trained to be a qualified officer in the Napoleon period and had accumulated enough meritorious services, he would be able to transfer to the civil service and become a government official. Only then would he be ready to learn how to govern the country.

Otherwise, learning this early on would be a waste of time for Zhuge Liang.

Hearing that Xiao Wen didn't have any intentions of destroying this plan, Zhuge Liang could only bitterly leave the carriage.

At the same time, he picked up the storekeeper's account book and started reading the profits.

This time when he came to the Huns, Xiao Wen had given him a hundred pounds of salt as a gift for marriage.

However, the remaining two hundred Jin was sold for a good price.

Xiao Wen exchanged one catty of 100 catties of salt for 100 catties of cattle.

As for the other hundred pounds of salt, Xiao Wen had traded them for wool.

Because the sheep had to survive the winter, the Huns did not give Xiao Wen a cheap price. A pound of salt could be exchanged for two hundred pounds of wool.

The shopkeeper told Xiao Wen that if he came over in the summer to trade with the herdsmen, he could exchange one catty of salt for two thousand catties of wool.

However, Xiao Wen didn't care. After all, his salt wasn't anything expensive.

They were originally in the western part of Long Hao Chen, the stuff that no one cared about after purifying the poisonous salt. The cost of a single catty was even lower than that of a catty of wool.

It could be said that this was an extremely profitable business.

A kilogram of salt could be exchanged for two hundred kilograms of wool, and a hundred kilograms of salt could be exchanged for twenty thousand kilograms of wool.

20,000 jin might sound like a lot, but if it was converted to modern units, it would be 10 tons.

Thus, Xiao Wen wasn't worried about the transportation.

Not to mention, he still had a hundred cows.

On average, each cow would have to pull a ton of wool and a hundred kilograms of wool. This was not a problem at all.

It's just to reduce the problem of the cattle dropping fat on the road. Xiao Wen still ordered his men to tear down the carriages and use the excess wood to make more carriages.

These carriages' defensive capabilities were as high as the carriages'. However, Xiao Wen was not worried about any blind bandits attacking him along the way since they were protecting him.

However, there was a small problem. Cows raised on the prairie did not know how to pull carriages.

They were extremely unorganized and disciplined. They would bite off a few mouthfuls of grass whenever they saw them. After a while, he stood still on the spot and didn't move even after being whipped.

This caused the manager of the caravan to become worried.

He looked at a smooth and oily oxen that the herdsmen had raised, and after he had pulled the oxcart to the side, he covered his face with his sleeve and turned his back. He was at a loss of what to do.

You still need to learn to pull a cart? This was what Xiao Wen had asked the shopkeeper. In the end, he was despised by the shopkeeper, Sun Shangxiang, and Yang Xiu.

"Why don't you just eat meat? When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely ask my son this question. If he also answered like that, I will deal with it ruthlessly." The shopkeeper didn't politely retort to Xiao Wen.

However, the guard captain of the merchant caravan was a kind person. He told Xiao Wen in detail about the habits and habits of cattle.

It turned out that the calf had to follow the old bull from the moment it landed on the ground to learn how to pull a cart, plough land, pull a mill, and all sorts of other skills.

Under the influence of the old cattle, the calf naturally learned these things when it grew up.

The cattle on the prairie did not have such experiences. They were used to the wild. At most, they would slowly advance in a certain direction under the command of the herdsmen.

If he were to put on the car now, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. It would be weird if he could pull the car properly.
