Chapter 805 Zhang Jiuli’s Son-in-law

"The food is a bit crude, so Master Zhang makes do with it."

Three people eating nine dishes and one soup is not very shabby in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with the identities of Li Xiang and Xiao Yu, this is indeed a bit shabby.

"I don't dare, my subordinates."

Mr. Zhang just ate something casually, but no matter what he ate now, it was all tasteless. When this guy was in power in the past, every meal had to have more than 20 dishes. Only people from outside could give me food. , it’s not his business, as long as he can eat happily.

"Then let's chat while eating. Mr. Zhang will introduce us to the four major toasts on the mountain. It's best to be more specific."

After two glasses of wine, it was time to get down to business. Zhang Jiuli shook his head to wake himself up a little. Don't miss anything when he talks later. Although he has no way to solve these problems. Mr. Chieftain, if the information provided makes Li Xiang's head light up, it will be equivalent to a meritorious service.

The largest chieftain on the mountain is Longchuan Chieftain, who is the son and daughter of Zhang Jiuli. Now his two daughters are still in the mountain. As for whether they are safe or not, it’s really hard to say. After all, the things happening at the bottom of the mountain are likely to be spread up. , although we have worked very closely, there is no guarantee that all loopholes can be plugged.

The chieftains have been running here for generations, and they are no longer running it for one generation, so it is hard to say whether there are still hidden spies in Chengdu, and the news that Li Xiang came from the north has long been known to the mountain. , plus now that there is no news from Chengdu, even if nothing is spread, they should be able to guess the ugly Yinmao just by relying on their own heads...

Longchuan Chieftain had the largest land area and the largest number of soldiers under his command, with a total population of more than 300,000 and an army of more than 40,000.

Ranked second is Chieftain Abdul. This man has just succeeded to the throne and is not very old, but the strength of his men is no joke. There are a total of 250,000 people and an army of more than 30,000.

Ranked third is Shama Toast. This person has a salt well in the mountains, so he is also the toast who is least short of salt. According to the rules in the mountains, when major toasts need to buy salt, they must first buy Shama Toast. , and then buy those from the Han people. This can be regarded as keeping the wealth from flowing to outsiders.

When he heard this, Li Xiang's eyes lit up. This must be regarded as the first point we can take advantage of. The land of Shama Tusi is not very good. Salt can be said to be a very important source of income. If we can cut off If so, then deal with him first.

Ranked fourth is the Longquan Chieftain. To put it bluntly, there is spring water in the territory, but the strength is the smallest among the four major chieftains. There are only more than 20,000 troops smaller than the Shama Chieftain.

Through Zhang Jiuli's brief introduction, two lines appeared in Li Xiang's mind. One line was naturally the salt well. Others may not have a lot of salt there, but Li Xiang had more here, and his character was much higher than there. If we were to sell a large amount of goods to the mountains, then Shama Tusi would probably faint from crying in the salt well.

The second line is Chieftain Abdul. This guy has just become Chieftain. He is still a young man. He must have a lot more bargains in his head than others. Maybe this is where we can open up the situation. If there is one person who can join us, , other toasts are of no use at all.

Xiao Yu was listening very carefully. Regarding the salt matter, Xiao Yu had the same mentality as Li Xiang. As long as this kind of goods is brought to the market, other salt merchants will have no way to survive. We only need to compete with others. If the other party is cheaper, the market will make the right choice. Now most of the time in Datang is in the hands of Li Xiang, and others can only be wholesalers from Li Xiang.

Although there are differences between the mountains and the mountains, they are basically the same. Everyone wants to buy cheaper and better products. Even if we had an alliance in the past, as long as there is profit, then there will naturally be smuggling. Salt people, if there are more and more people selling smuggled salt, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell any salt on the mountain.

After Li Xiang expressed his thoughts, he asked Zhang Jiuli to think about it and see if anyone could become our partner. After all, we have no foundation in the mountains at all. If we want to take down the toast master with a soft knife, we must We have to find someone from within. The external fortress is too strong.

"My second son-in-law..."

Zhang Jiuli immediately thought of one person. He married his two daughters to the two sons of Chieftain Longchuan. However, Chieftain Longchuan did not like Han people, so he had no choice but to find two daughters-in-law for himself. Just go up the mountain and drink a bowl of red flowers. Don't even think about having children in the future. This is equivalent to the eldest son of Zhang Jiuli's family, who will not even have a child in the future. What is a childless woman like in this kind of feudal society? You can do it with your toes. Think about it.

But the second son is different. The second son of Longchuan Chieftain does not need to inherit the position of chieftain. He only needs to have fun. Moreover, this guy is good at walking cats and fighting dogs, so his usual expenses are naturally A bit bigger.

I have done business with people in the past. Even if it hurts the business of the mountain toast, no one would care about his father's face. Of course, he is also very measured and will not do something that makes the two big toasts. About the war.

"You said it yourself, he is very measured in what he does. This time we made another chieftain go bankrupt. Are you sure he will listen to you on this matter?"

Xiao Yu said disdainfully, many people say that princes and princes have no brains. They only play and eat every day, but that is all nonsense from the lower class people. As long as they stay in Chang'an City for a period of time, which prince and princes have no brains? If they have no brains, He died a long time ago, do we still need to wait until now?

"You old man, listen to me. On the surface, this kid seems to have no courage. He is trying to hide himself. But in fact, he is quite courageous. However, this requires the cooperation of His Highness. He is the second eldest son in the family and does not inherit the power of the chieftain. , but His Highness can let him have this right, so in Xiaozhi, he can be moved by emotion and reason..."

Zhang Jiuli said calmly, Li Xiang snorted beside him, you really know how to plan for your son-in-law, and this is also considered to be for yourself. If your son-in-law really helps the court to win If you kill me, I will kill you no matter what I say.
