Ximen Hao’s words made Qin Xiao excited.

But he soon realized that to achieve this goal, it could not be achieved with just a few words, and it was not easy to get rid of the obstacles in front of him.

The four northeastern counties, Liaoxi, Yingping, Liaodong and Xuantu are arranged from west to east. Long Rui's army is stationed under the Heishan Mountains in the north of Yingping County. They want the Jiangnan family to send their goods to Heishan. The trade routes within the pass are not a big problem.

But once you leave Yuguan, you directly enter the territory of Liaoxi County. After passing through Liaoxi County, entering Yingping County and turning north, the road is full of difficulties.

Gongsun Shang, the governor of Liaoxi County, was naturally a member of the Liaodong Army. When Qin Xiao came out of the customs, he saw it in person. It was Gongsun Shang who led Long Rui's army to the foot of Black Mountain.

The Liaodong Army has been stationed in the four northeastern counties for many years. Officials of the four counties, big and small, naturally follow the Liaodong Army's lead, otherwise they will definitely not be able to secure their positions.

As long as the Liaodong Army gives the order, both Gongsun Shang and Yingping County will be in trouble everywhere.

Qin Xiao knows that if he wants you to pass smoothly, the Liaodong Army only needs a word, but if he wants to cause trouble for you and make it difficult for the merchants to move in the Northeast, the Liaodong Army also has many ways.

If you want the Jiangnan merchants' caravans to reach Montenegro unimpeded, the foolproof way is of course that the officials in these two counties are all your own, and even Long Ruijun can control this trade route.

But this is simply nonsense.

The Liaodong Army has been running the Northeast for many years. Officials, big and small, are deeply entrenched, and the Liaodong Army also firmly controls the transportation arteries of the Northeast. If the Long Rui Army wants to replace it, it will have to fight with the Liaodong Army and directly seize control. But of course this is impossible.

things.

Although the court was afraid of the Liaodong Army, there was no sign of rebellion. Long Rui's army could not find an excuse to go to war with the Liaodong Army. Even if the Liaodong Army really showed signs of rebellion, the court would never easily start a war and would only try its best.

appease.

The chaos in Northeast China had unimaginable consequences for the imperial court.

Qin Xiao understood that the court's strategy was to check Long Rui's army to check and balance the Liaodong army, and at the same time appease those people so that they would not rebel. Therefore, if Long Rui's army took the initiative to fight against the Liaodong army, it would not be said that it lacked strength, even if

If we really can fight, the imperial court will never support it.

Qin Xiao frowned, thoughtfully, but this problem was indeed not easy to solve. He thought that Gu Baiyi was so smart that he couldn't rush this matter, so he should discuss it with Gu Baiyi and others after he went back.

The two whispered about Huizi painting again. Wu Qing Khan finally sent Yang Chiji to summon him. Qin Xiao arrived at the Khan tent. The meeting had dispersed. In the tent, except for Wu Qing Khan, there were only Gudan Tutun and Tutun.

There were only a few people in Yatutun. When they saw Qin Xiao coming in, several leaders stood up and saluted. After all, everyone knew that Qin Xiao was the general of the Tang Dynasty and should not be neglected.

"I have discussed it with everyone." The grassland people did not mince words, Wu Qinghan said straight to the point: "Although some leaders are opposed to being involved in the Northeast War, most people feel that the Liaodong Army has malicious intentions towards my true feathers, and they must not surrender to it.

Liaodong Army." After a pause, he continued: "But most people feel that although they cannot surrender to the Liaodong Army, they should not get too close to Long Rui's Army."

Qin Xiao said calmly: "The True Yu Tribe wants to stay away from right and wrong, and the leaders also think about the tribe."

"Lord Qin...!" Tuya Tutun was straightforward and about to speak, but Qin Xiao had already raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't call me Tutun like that, you'd better call me Qin Xiao."

"You are General Zhonglang. It is right to call you Lord Qin." Tuya Tutun said with a smile: "We don't care about the grudges between the Liaodong Army and the Long Rui Army. You should resolve the matters between you yourself, even if one day you kill someone.

Even if we fight to the death, the True Feather Division will not send a single soldier to get involved in the fight."

"I completely understand." Qin Xiao nodded.

"However, for the benefit of the tribe, the Great Khan finally decided after discussing with everyone that although the Zhenyu tribe will not support Long Ruijun, we will still do business." Tuya Tutun said with a grin: "Qin...

Qin Xiao, since we have broken up with Tie Han, of course we don’t need to pay attention to the bullshit horse ban. If you want to buy horses from Zhen Yu, he is our merchant, and we can negotiate this business. Zhen Yu

Our business relies on horses, and when merchants come to us to do business, why should we refuse?"

When Qin Xiao heard Tuya Tutun's words, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Yes, destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. No one can stop the money-making business."

"Qin Xiao, everyone has discussed and decided that Zhen Yubu can sell you the horse." Wu Qinghan coughed slightly and then said: "Everyone agreed to the first two conditions you proposed. From then on, we in Datang

The only customer is you. Apart from you, we will not accept anyone else buying horses."

Qin Xiao crossed his arms across his chest: "Thank you, Khan!"

Wu Qinghan winked, and a personal attendant beside her came forward. Qin Xiao recognized Chi Luo Yun and nodded with a smile. Chi Luo Yun also smiled at Qin Xiao, and the two of them were able to go through adversity together.

, I saw her holding a box, coming forward and saying: "Open it!"

Qin Xiao was a little strange, thinking that Wu Qinghan wanted to reward him with something. When he opened the box, he found a very strange bronze sculpture. It looked like an eagle, but it was only half of it.

"This is my token." Wu Qinghan saw Qin Xiao's confusion and explained: "You only take half of this, and I still have half. If you send someone over to buy horses in the future, let him take it.

If the two pieces of this token match, I will be convinced that he is yours, so I will naturally send someone to negotiate with him. The price will be as you said. A piece of Shiwu silk can be traded for an ordinary horse, and twenty-five pieces of silk can be traded for a pure horse.

Plant a true-feathered war horse. No matter what changes occur, such as the price of silk from your Tang Dynasty being higher, or the price of our grassland horses being lower, the price we agreed on will not change."

Qin Xiao knew that the prairie people promised nothing, and since Wu Qinghan promised to such a big event, there would naturally be no changes. He nodded and said: "It won't change."

"But you asked us to sell you a purebred war horse for every five horses purchased. We cannot agree to this condition." Wu Qinghan said sternly: "Qili returned without success this time, Tie Han will inevitably

Furious, although he will not act rashly in the past two years and does not dare to use troops against Modong easily, Tiehan is ambitious and will fight sooner or later. I told you that only one of ten pure feathered war horses can be raised.

One or two horses will be produced. After one year, all our horse farms in Zhenyu can only raise less than 20,000 horses. Excluding male horses, there are only more than 10,000 mares. In order to continue the inheritance of purebred war horses, half of the purebred war horses need

They are used for breeding purposes, so there are less than 8,000 purebred horses that can be produced in the ring in a year."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that the purebred war that Wu Qinghan said was

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Horses are high-quality war horses carefully selected from real feather horses. These war horses themselves have excellent physique and speed. They are natural war horses. The horses they produce will naturally be better than ordinary horses. Dragons and dragons and phoenixes are born.

He still understands the truth.

This does not mean that ordinary horses are not true feather horses, nor does it mean that they are not pure. They are just not as capable as high-quality war horses. However, the horses are of the same breed. It is just that true feather people feel that only those truly high-quality war horses can be worthy.

The title of the True Feather War Horse.

Wu Qinghan also said that even ordinary horses are much better than the war horses of other tribes, and Qin Xiao firmly believed in this.

It would be better if we could get Zhen Yu's best quality war horse, otherwise even if we trade ordinary war horses, it would still be enough to equip Long Ruijun.

"The true feather war horses that leave the circle must be equipped with the bravest warriors of the tribe to cope with the war that Tie Han will eventually come." Wu Qinghan explained: "So we cannot agree to your last condition. The most we can do every year is to

You provide five hundred real-feathered war horses."

Of the three conditions proposed by Qin Xiao, the first one is actually the most important. The third one is not important. Not only did the Zhenyu Department pass the decision to sell war horses to Long Ruijun, but they also agreed to the first two conditions. This

It already made Qin Xiao extremely happy. As for not providing too many pure war horses to Long Ruijun, Qin Xiao didn't care, and he didn't want to embarrass Wu Qinghan. He nodded and said: "Just as the Khan said, we only trade every year.

Five hundred true-feathered war horses.”

"As for the number of horses traded every year, everyone has also discussed that this year it cannot exceed 20,000." Wu Qinghan said: "In recent years, the number of horses kept at the racecourse has decreased, and we cannot provide too many. But in two years, we will be able to provide more horses."

When the number of horses raised increases, we can talk more."

Qin Xiao can understand the current situation of the Zhenyu tribe. Although he hopes to trade as many war horses as possible and form a huge cavalry army as soon as possible, if everything is done too hastily, the result will be counterproductive. The establishment of a cavalry army cannot be done overnight. Twenty thousand war horses

Although the number was not up to my psychological expectations, it was still quite a lot. He nodded and said, "Okay." Then he reached out and took out the token from the box and put it in his arms.

However, Qin Xiao instantly calculated in his mind that if he traded fifteen pieces of silk for one war horse, twenty thousand horses would require three hundred thousand pieces of silk. For Jiangnan, three hundred thousand pieces of silk was actually not a small amount.

, but it should be available.

Three hundred thousand pieces of silk were naturally an astronomical figure for Mahabu.

A piece of silk in the Tang Dynasty costs one tael of silver. These three hundred thousand pieces are equivalent to three hundred thousand taels. However, the price of silk on the grassland must be at least five times higher. In other words, using the transaction with Long Ruijun, this year the Zhenyu tribe will have at least

One and a half million taels of silver can be obtained. After excluding costs, the net profit of the True Feather Tribe should be as much as one million taels. For a tribe with only a few hundred thousand members, it can earn one million taels of silver a year.

, of course, is not a small amount, but it is enough to allow the True Feather Department to develop rapidly.

"One more thing." Wu Qinghan thought of something and said to Qin Xiao: "I have asked the magistrate to detain Du Zitong and others who escaped from Montenegro. When you go back, I will hand them over to you."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Wu Qing had arranged everything well. He wanted to go up and kiss him, and said thanks: "Thank you, Khan. After I go back, I will send someone to handle the specific matters of the transaction as soon as possible." Thinking of his trip to the grassland, he successfully dealt with Long Ruijun.
