After seeing Chen Ping accepting the order properly, Yang Song turned to the caravan: "Chen Ping, how many people have you prepared for the caravan?"

Chen Ping replied: "I went back to the emperor, I only prepared more than ten people in the caravan at the beginning, but now I have to go to buy grain, so this little manpower is a bit insufficient!"

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

Now the Xia Kingdom needs a large amount of food, so this model cannot be done, at least it cannot be so casual.

"Okay, when you go back, you can discuss specific material issues with Yang Zhong as soon as possible. Remember, don't sell strategic materials!"

Yang Song didn't want to sell any gunpowder, production machines, grains and other materials.

Chen Ping immediately agreed, "As for orders, I know the importance of it!"

He is not a person who is ignorant of importance. Chen Ping is the leader of intelligence personnel. Why don’t he know what to do and what not to do? It’s just that Yang Song still mentioned this, which means that he is concerned about this aspect.

Chen Ping left the Anglophone Hall and turned around the corner to the administrative hall where Yang Zhong was. Each department built the Anglophone Hall on both sides, facing the south, lined up with the Anglophone Hall, occupying the entire North Street of this main road.

Yang Zhong was waiting for him in the administrative hall for a long time. Seeing Chen Ping coming and greeting each other, Yang Zhong took the lead and said, "Director Chen, this is the product that Xia Guo has now available for sale!"

Chen Ping thanked him, but in the end, there were not many items listed on this list, and he was not satisfied with the single piece of paper. After reading it carefully.

He found that Yang Zhong also knew what could be sold and what not, military supplies such as compass and telescopes were not listed on it.

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

The others are fireworks, farm tools, and cement, and other related issues.

Although large items are listed, they are marked with the words "to be determined". For example, wooden furniture.

As for goods such as weapons, armor, and iron, let alone intelligence officer Chen Ping, even an administrative officer like Yang Zhong, he had never even thought about it!

After reading the list, Chen Ping thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no problem, he asked: "Director Yang, are there anything you need to buy?"

Yang Zhong replied: "The only thing Xia State urgently needs is one - grain! The more the better, all kinds of grains are needed!"

"I understand, Director Yang, this time the caravan needs your business bureau to send a few people who understand business skills. Remember to keep it confidential!"

Chen Ping knew that this time the caravan not only collected intelligence, but also needed a few people who could bargain and do business.

Yang Zhong immediately replied, "No problem, I'll prepare for people in this regard, are five people enough?"

Chen Ping raised his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, Director Yang, five people are enough!"

Yang Zhong raised his hand and replied, "No need to thank you. This time it is related to the future of Xia Kingdom. We are just serving you!"

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 of them paid a visit and said, "Message, please see the Lord!"

Yang Song looked at the two and asked, "What is the result of the discussion?"

Chen Ping replied: "I have discussed with Director Yang. This time the caravan will send 150 people and twenty carriages!"

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

After hearing this, Yang Song asked worriedly: "Is this caravan of size enough? How safe is it?"

After hearing Changsun Sheng's return, he knew that wars often occurred between the various territories outside the pass. If they encountered it, it would be bad.

Chen Ping explained: "Among these 150 people, I expect a brigade of 110 troops, which requires the support of the emperor! Among the other 40 people, five of them were from the Commercial Bureau, and the rest were all intelligence personnel under my command!"

Yang Song waved his hand and said, "It's accurate. With a brigade of soldiers guarding, the caravan is safer!"

After he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. It was a very problem for this brigade of troops to be dispatched from that unit.

First of all, it is a militia, which is definitely not possible, and the confidentiality does not meet the requirements.

The second is Di Qing's infantry brigade. They wanted to guard Tianqian Pass, but there was no war. It seemed that there was no problem to dispatch a brigade.

Finally, there are the soldiers of the guard camp who just finished the battle. The southern barbarians in the south were either eliminated or fled. There is nothing wrong now, so it should be fine!

In this way, he could only choose a brigade from the infantry brigade guarding the battalion and Tianqian Pass.

After repeated comparisons, Yang Song chose to draw a brigade of troops from the guard battalion.

First, the Guard Battalion should have no tasks for a long time in the future, and second, the Guard Battalion is in the Apocalypse City, which is convenient for dispatch and can quickly form a caravan.

After making a decision, Yang Song shouted to the outside of the door: "Come on, 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 soldiers to guard, so you can draw a brigade of troops and hand it over to Zhou Wu!"

Yang Song looked at Zhou Wudao, who was still unknown: "You will lead the caravan this time. You are mainly responsible for the safety of the caravan and the marching route. You should listen to Changsun Sheng, intelligence personnel and merchants' opinions in other aspects!"

At this time, Zhou Wu reacted, clasped his fists excitedly, and shouted: "I will obey the orders and will definitely not let you down the entrusted by the emperor!"

Yang Song is giving the idle Zhou Wu a chance, hoping that he can do it well. If not, Zhou Wu will only be the captain of the guard team by his side in his life!

Yang Song asked Changsun Sheng again: "Changsun Sheng, this time you will be Zhou Wu's staff officer. You should know what to do with the rest, right?"

Changsun Sheng didn't say much, but just raised his hand to Yang Song, bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

In addition to Changsun Sheng’s familiarity with the customs and customs of the north, his wisdom is also very important!

After Zhang Wei heard Yang Song ask him to draw a brigade of troops to guard the caravan, he was thinking about how to match the brigade, and soon he matched it in his mind.

Zhang Wei clasped his fists at Yang Song and said, "I am going to transfer a light cavalry squadron, a long-range attack squadron composed of archers, strong crossbow soldiers, and a melee squadron composed of spearmen and swords and shield soldiers. What do you think of such a organization?"

Yang Song did not answer Zhang Wei's question, but asked Zhou Wu: "How do you think this kind of organization is like?"

Zhou Wu was still very excited at this time. After hearing the questions between Zhang Wei and Yang Song, he took a few forced deep breaths and calmed down and said.

"Return to the lord, I think this organization is very good!" After saying that, he clasped his fists at Zhang Wei and said, "Thank you, brother Zhang Wei!"

Zhang Wei clasped his fists and replied, "Where, I'm following the order!"
