Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 63 Prepare caravan

After seeing Chen Ping’s righteous leadership, Yang Song turned to the caravan: “Chen Ping, how many manpower have you prepared for the caravan?”

Chen Ping replied: “Going back to the king, the minister only prepared more than a dozen caravans at the beginning, but now they are going to buy food. This is a bit of a shortage of manpower.”

The caravan that was originally just to inquire about intelligence, casually sold some special products, and collected some other special products by the way, and analyzed the productivity of these local civilizations from these products.

Now Xia Guo needs a large amount of food, this kind of model is not enough, at least it can’t be so casual.

“Well, you go back and discuss the specific material issues with Yang Zhong as soon as possible. Remember, don’t sell strategic materials.”

Yang Song didn’t want to sell gunpowder, production machinery, grains, and other materials.

Chen Ping immediately agreed: “Observe the order, the minister knows the severity”

He is not someone who doesn’t know the importance. Chen Ping is the head of the intelligence personnel. Why doesn’t he know what to do or not to do, but Yang Song still mentioned this sentence, which means that he is paying attention to this aspect.

Chen Ping left the Conference Hall and around the corner came to the administrative hall where Yang Zhong was located. Various departments have repaired both sides of the proposed government hall, facing the south, lined up with the Yeezheng Hall, occupying the entire North Street of this main road.

And Yang Zhong has been waiting for him in the executive hall for a long time. Seeing Chen Ping’s arrival, Yang Zhong took the lead after seeing the gifts, “Director Chen, this is the product Xia Guo has that can be used to sell.”

Chen Ping thanked him. As a result, there were not many items on this list, and he was dissatisfied with a piece of paper. After reading it carefully.

He discovered that Yang Zhong also knew what could be sold and what could not be sold. Military supplies such as compasses and binoculars were not listed.

In addition to ordinary goods such as cloth, pottery, wine, paper, and salt, the list also includes high-end luxury goods such as silk, porcelain, gold and silver jewelry, and tea.

Others, even fireworks, farm tools, and cement are not listed.

There are also large items that are listed, but they are all marked with the word to be determined. Such as wooden furniture.

As for goods such as weapons, armors, and ironware, let alone Chen Ping, an intelligence officer, even an administrator like Yang Zhong, I didn’t even think about it.

After reading the list, Chen Ping thought for a while, and after feeling that there was no problem, he asked: “Director Yang, is there anything I need to buy?”

Yang Zhong replied: “Xia Guo needs only one kind of food, the more the better, all kinds of food are needed.”

“Understood, Director Yang, this time the caravan needs your business bureau to send a few people who understand business skills, remember to keep it secret.”

Chen Ping knew that this time the caravan was not just gathering intelligence, he needed a few people who could bargain and do business.

Yang Zhong immediately asked back: “No problem, people in this area, I will prepare now, five people are enough”

Chen Ping raised his hand and thanked him: “Thank you, Director Yang, five people are enough.”

Yang Zhong raised his hand and replied: “Don’t thank you, this time it is about the future of Xia Guo, we are all working for the king.”

After the discussion, Chen Ping and Yang Zhong both rushed to meet Yang Song again.

In the study of the monarch’s mansion.

The two met and said: “The minister sees the king”

Yang Song looked at the two and asked, “What was the result of the negotiation?”

Chen Ping replied: “The minister has discussed with Director Yang. This time the caravan will send 150 people and 20 carriages.”

Then Yang Zhong explained to Yang Song the types of commodities.

After listening, Yang Song asked worriedly: “Is the size of this caravan sufficient? How safe is it?”

After listening to Changsun Sheng’s return, he knew that wars often broke out between the various territories outside the Guan, and if they encountered it, it would be terrible.

Chen Ping explained: “Among the one hundred and fifty people, the ministers estimated a brigade of 110 troops. This requires the support of the emperor. Five of the forty people are from the Chamber of Commerce, and the rest are all ministers. The intelligence officers under him”

Yang Song waved his hand and said, “That’s right, there are battalions of soldiers guarding, and the caravans are safer.”

After he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. It is a very problematic that the troops of this brigade should be transferred from that unit.

The first is the militia, which is definitely not possible, and the confidentiality is not up to the requirement.

Followed by Di Qing’s infantry brigade, they want to guard the sky barrier, but there has been no fighting, and it seems that there is no problem in dispatching a brigade.

Finally, there are the soldiers of the guard battalion that just ended the battle. The southern barbarian was either wiped out or fled. There is nothing wrong now, and it should be okay.

In this way, he could only choose a brigade from the guard battalion and the infantry brigade at Tianchuan Pass.

After repeated comparisons, Yang Song chose to transfer a brigade from the guard battalion.

One is because the guard battalion should have no mission for a long time in the future, and the other is because the guard battalion is located in Apocalypse City, which is convenient for dispatch and can quickly form caravans.

After the decision, Yang Song shouted at the door: “Come here, go call Zhang Wei, Zhou Wu, and Changsun Sheng.”

After a while, the three of them arrived one after another. Yang Song said to Zhang Wei: “The caravan needs a brigade of fighters to protect it, so you can transfer the strength of a brigade to Zhou Wu.”

Yang Song faced the so-called Zhou Wudao who did not yet know: “You will lead the caravan this time. You are mainly responsible for the safety of the caravan and the marching route. In other aspects, please listen to the opinions of Chang Sun Sheng, intelligence personnel and businessmen. ”

At this time, Zhou Wucai reacted, clasped his fists excitedly, and said loudly: “The minister obeys his orders, and he will definitely live up to his trust.

Yang Song is giving Zhou Wu a chance to be idle, hoping that he can manage it well. If not, then Zhou Wu can only be the captain of the **** by his side for the rest of his life.

Yang Song asked Changsun Sheng again: “Changsun Sheng, this time you will be Zhou Wu’s staff. You should know what to do with the others.”

Chang Sun Sheng didn’t say much, just raised his hand to Yang Song. Make a salute: “The minister obeys orders”

Let Chang Sun Sheng go out again Besides Chang Sun Sheng’s familiarity with the customs of the north, his resourcefulness is also very important

After Zhang Wei heard that Yang Song asked him to deploy a brigade to protect the caravan, he was thinking about how to match the brigade, and soon he had a good match in his mind.

Zhang Wei held his fist at Yang Song and said: “The minister is going to deploy a light cavalry squadron, a long-range attack squadron composed of archers, strong crossbowmen, and even crossbowmen, and a close combat squadron composed of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers. I don’t know what the ruler thinks of such a system

Yang Song did not answer Zhang Wei’s question, but asked Zhou Wu: “What do you think of this establishment?”

Zhou Wu was still very excited at this time. After hearing Zhang Wei and Yang Song’s problem, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

“Back to the king, the minister thinks this establishment is very good.” After finishing speaking, he held a fist at Zhang Wei and said, “Thank you, brother Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei clasped his fist and replied: “Where, I am following orders.”
