Chapter 640: Food Shipment
Morgadai's eyes widened! Although he had seen so much money before, he had never seen so much money wrapped in rags.
"Brother, do you use all this money to buy food?"
"Haha, I didn't bring anything this time except money. So, I still need to buy a carriage, horses, and so on."
"Brother, my dear brother, you came to me for this matter. Don't worry, I will get you all the goods within three days, including food, gold, silver, pearls and everything else you want!"
"That's troublesome, the sooner the better!"
Early the next morning, Morgedai could not wait to knock on Bayakin's door and walked mysteriously to his bed.
"Brother, I have prepared more than a hundred carts of food for you. They are all waiting outside the city. I have also sent two of my men to take care of the people's army along the way!"
"Haha, that's great! But for more than a hundred carts of food, I guess the money I have is just enough. As for the gold and silver..."
"Brother, don't worry. I've prepared the gold and silver. I'll wait for you to bring the food back, and then send someone to contact me!"
After Morgedai finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down the amount of food, as well as the cost of the carriage and horses, exactly the amount of cash that Bayakin had brought.
"Brother, your eyes are like a ruler. You can tell how much money I have with just one glance. I admire you!"
Morgedai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but Bayakin was right, he followed his family to do business when he was a child and developed a good pair of eyes.
He did roughly estimate Bayakin's cash and then slightly increased the price of millet (a kind of grain in Mongolia) to match the banknotes.
"Brother, we are doing business, and I can't work for nothing, so the price is a little better, and I'll make a little money. But, I will definitely make sure you get more value for your money.
I'm not bragging, I'm the only one in Hulan who can take out more than a hundred carts of food at once, Moergedai, do you know where you got all this food from?"
Bayakin actually didn't know, but he could guess it. Such a large amount of food could only be found in the warehouses of the army and the government. It was impossible to get it from other places, and not even a small amount.
"Appreciate further details?"
"Hehe, they were all stolen from the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those officials took the herdsmen's food away and hid it in the warehouse. Now I got it out again, and it finally became yours."
Bayajin gnashed his back teeth until they made a clicking sound. Although his family had become a so-called "rich herdsman", all of this was accumulated piece by piece over decades.
However, the family fortune that they had worked so hard to save was completely snatched away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs overnight, and ended up enriching the pockets of those officials!
Bayakin took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the past for the time being. What he was most worried about now was whether the grain could be successfully transported back to Saida.
"Brother, will these more than 100 vehicles be targeted by the People's Army or bandits along the way?"
"Haha, this is what I meant by great value for money."
Morgedai took out a piece of paper with a red stamp on it, which clearly read the name of "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Mobei People's Republic".
"Take this and I don't believe anyone would dare to stop your convoy!"
Bayakin took it back and took a closer look. It said on it that this batch of food was for a certain unit of the People's Army. As for which unit it was, there were two words: confidential!
"Good man, brother, you can do this?"
"Of course, it was all thanks to your watch that I was able to open the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get the approval document. But don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. Your gold watch is just a stepping stone. The money for paving the way later was all paid out of my own pocket!"
Bayajin was completely convinced. Morgedai was indeed a man with great powers. He could make a house for him by giving him a brick, and he could grow a grassland for him by giving him a blade of grass.
In short, he is a talented person!
"Okay, I'll set off right away. The earlier I arrive, the less interest I'll pay! Brother, I can only give you half of the money. I'll give you the rest after I transport the food back!"
"Haha, I understand. These are the rules of the trade! By the way, I expect your gold, silver and jewelry to be shipped the day after tomorrow. How much can you take by then?"
Bayajin actually had no idea what was going on. If he wasn't afraid of being exposed, he really wanted to carry a radio with him so he could keep in touch with his family at any time.
However, according to Brigade Commander Yuanshan and Regiment Commander Ye, as long as they can spend it, there will be enough money!
"Brother, I can't guarantee the exact amount, but it's at least five times the amount of the bills you saw!"
Morgedai took a deep breath, luckily he could take half of the banknotes today as a deposit for picking up the goods from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, otherwise he really didn't know what to do with it.
"Really? This is not a small amount!"
"Haha, wait until the grain arrives at our receiving place and your people see the piles of banknotes, then it won't be too late to ship the grain!"
"A word is settled!"
"A word is settled!"
Morgedai wrote a receipt to Bayakin, took half of the money, and the two walked out of the city together.
As soon as I left the city and rode for ten minutes, I saw an endless stream of convoys, which was quite spectacular.
Morgedai rode on his horse and bowed to Bayakin.
"Brother, it's a journey of more than a thousand miles, please take care! I look forward to our next cooperation! In addition, you don't have to return these cars and horses, they are all included in the account, but you have to return the people to me!"
"That's for sure, take care!"
At Bayakin's call, the carriage team set off and headed southeast.
Morgedai patted the heavy cloth bag and sighed. This Bayakin looked full of suspicion.
However, in troubled times, those who can thrive must have their own secrets, otherwise they can only be like cattle and horses driven by others.
Morgedai didn't care about anything else, as long as the money was real, that was it. Who was Bayajin, and where did the grain go?
The most important thing for him now was not to investigate Bayakin's identity, but to hand over the money as soon as possible, then move things from the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and quickly deliver the gold, silver and jewelry to Bayakin.
After such a change of hands, his wealth would increase several times. Why would he still bother to curry favor with the rich and powerful in Inner Mongolia? He could just go to a sanatorium and spend the rest of his life in a dull and luxurious way.
At this time, Bayakin, who was on horseback, "moved" the coachmen with small banknotes. The drivers kept riding their horses, and they even wanted to sit in the carriage to urinate and defecate, and drove at full speed towards the southeast.
