Xue Poye looked at Yuan Buyi again, only to find that his sunken eyes were unusually deep and hazy. He could not see the shrewdness and murderousness of those powerful people. He seemed to be very cold, but at the same time he seemed to be extremely passionate.
He doesn't care about anything, but he seems to be nostalgic for the world, unable to guess the emotions hidden behind those eyes.
A businessman who only knew the smell of copper would definitely not have such a look. Xue Poye had a vague feeling that Yuan Buyi must have a lot of background, but judging from his words about tea, he was also a man who read poetry and books and had a lot of experience.
character.
"You are jewel-like and rich, but you chose the name Buyi. I'm really confused!" Xue Poye asked in confusion as he watched Yuan Buyi fill two purple sand cups with less than half a cup of tea.
"Wealth and destiny are unknown to people!" Yuan Buyi sat down cross-legged opposite the tea table and said calmly: "I didn't know that I would be rich today, otherwise I should have been named Fugui!"
Xue Poye was sitting cross-legged like him, but he was not used to it.
"Please!" Yuan Buyi made a gesture of invitation and said.
Xue Poye picked up the purple clay cup and took a sip. As expected, the sweet fragrance overflowed into his mouth and his lips and teeth were filled with fragrance. The fragrance flowed into his throat along with the tea juice and spread to his whole body.
Seeing Xue Poye full of admiration, Yuan Buyi showed a proud look on his face. Of course, this pride was shown in his eyes and the corners of his mouth. The muscles on this man's face seemed to have withered and he could not move, as if he had lost his ability.
It's the same as perception.
Yuan Buyi picked up the purple clay cup, took a sip, and with a proud look on his face, he opened his mouth and chanted: "The heart is busy and free, and the space in the free time is as wide as the sky. There is no emptiness in floating life, so how can one live longer than a hundred years?"
I beat the pines on the rock to catch the moon, and boiled the rock-rooted springs with tea to relieve my sleep. Although I am not like my master, I understand this principle just like my master."
Xue Poye heard that his poem contained the word "tea", which was obviously a poem related to tea. Yuan Buyi was indeed extremely proficient in the tea ceremony and was obviously addicted to it.
"Ordinary people drink tea and wine, and vulgar people drink it like cattle. A little better is just to taste the taste, but there are a few people who quietly taste the meaning!" Yuan Buyi suddenly sighed, stretched out his hand and asked for tea again: "Please!"
Xue Poye took another sip and asked curiously: "Is it still about artistic conception when drinking tea?"
Yuan Buyi lowered his head, rolled his eyes up, looked at Xue Poye, and said calmly: "Of course, whether drinking tea, tasting wine, playing chess, painting, writing poetry, or playing the piano, it is all a matter of artistic conception. As for tea,
It is a thing that is good at the elegance of Ou and Fujian, and the spiritual endowment of Zhongshan and River. It can remove the stagnation and bring about purity and harmony, which is not something that a mediocre child can understand. The middle level is leisurely and clean, and the rhyme is high and tranquil."
Xue Poye was sweating profusely. Yuan Buyi was really immersed in it. He came here to do business today, not to listen to his tea tasting. Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Buyi already asked: "Besides these twenty horses,
How much more can you get?”
Xue Poye was startled, and immediately understood that he was naturally asking Beihu about Baima. Although he had already agreed with Ulachi that a large number of Huma would come over in the future, he still didn't know the true identity of the other party, and some things were still unclear.
After a while, he smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Yuan offered to buy me twenty-one horses at a price of one thousand taels of silver each?" But he did not answer Yuan Buyi's question.
Wu Lachi brought twenty-eight horses this time, including his and Zheton's mounts, a total of thirty horses. They were all good horses from the Barhut tribe. He gave Xue Poye a golden lion, and there were still some
Twenty-nine horses were sold, and the rest were used to transport silk back to the grassland.
Yuan Buyi pulled the soft pillow next to him and leaned on it, looking very lazy, and repeated lightly: "How many more horses can you get?"
Xue Poye felt that although his words were very plain, there was an aura coming out of him, and he was of the calm and self-powerful type.
Xue Poye might be afraid of being raped by a woman in the middle of the night, but he was definitely not afraid of such power. He still didn't answer: "If you want to buy these twenty-one horses, let's talk about it. If you don't want to buy it, then I'll give it to you."
Leave immediately, this is a matter of easy negotiation and breakup, you are just buying and I am selling!"
Yuan Buyi grinned and made a gesture of inviting tea again.
Xue Poye was not polite, but the tea was fragrant and intoxicating. When you put it in your mouth, the fragrance overflowed, and you drank from the cup.
"I come from the southwest. Although the southwest is a land of fragrant osmanthus and clouds of beautiful women, it is the place where the greatest shortage of horses is found. Except for the wealthy businessmen, even the nobles and princes are thirsty for horses. There are only twenty-one horses.
, they are too rare. If shopkeeper Xue can raise more horses, I will spend more money to buy them!" Yuan Buyi stared at Xue Poye closely, as if he wanted to remember Xue Poye's appearance clearly.
, with a gentle voice: "I hope that the business with Shopkeeper Xue is not just this one time. We can continue to do it. It will be of great benefit to you and me."
Xue Poye smiled calmly, said "Oh" and said, "There are many benefits?"
"Shopkeeper Xue should understand that the best price for a Hu horse in my Dachu is only nine hundred taels of silver. My price of one thousand taels per horse is sincere. Not only today, but from now on, Shopkeeper Xue will only have Hu Ma."
I will charge horses at this price. To put it bluntly, I am Shopkeeper Xue’s connection, and it is an excellent connection. I think Shopkeeper Xue does not want to lose me as a business partner!” Yuan Buyi’s voice was not high, but it seemed that
Very confident.
In good conscience, Xue Poye also knew that this was a rare buyer. Not only was the price high and the profit huge, but the horses were concentrated and he traveled northeast and west of the province to find retail investors. Naturally, it would be worse than being purchased by Yuan Buyi.
, which saves a lot of trouble and energy.
However, Yuan Buyi claimed that he wanted to buy horses and go to the southwest to resell them to merchants and noble princes.
I'm afraid the profit won't be too big, but it's also unknown if the nobles and princes are extravagant and corrupt, fighting for wealth to buy Huma.
The fragrance of tea floats in the air, permeating everywhere.
Xue Poye squinted his eyes and suddenly asked: "Since you are in urgent need of horses, why don't you personally lead a caravan to buy horses in Beihu? In that way, not only will the number of horses be greater, but the price will be cheaper. If you transport them back to the southwest, the profit will be huge."
If you buy my Huma for a thousand taels, firstly the quantity is small, and secondly the profit is small, don’t you feel that you are at a huge loss?”
Yuan Buyi laughed strangely, took a sip from the purple clay pot, and said calmly: "The Northern Hu has tens of thousands of good horses. Our general once said that the Northern Hu has ten soldiers with twenty cavalry, and the Great Chu has one thousand soldiers.
The horses of the Hu people are taller and have far more endurance than our great Chu horses. They are indeed the best among horses. The only ones we Chu people admire about Bei Hu are their Hu horses."
Xue Poye greatly agreed with this statement, and he thought that he had a golden lion that was flying as fast as lightning, and few horses in Da Chu could match it. He nodded, "Beihu's horse is really a treasure!"
"Everyone knows that there are a lot of horses in Beihu, and it is extremely cheap to buy horses in Beihu. The huge benefits in this process have attracted many businessmen, who all want to transport horses to the south and earn that white money!" Yuan Buyi squinted at Xue Po.
Ye, said softly: "I'm afraid shopkeeper Xue also has this intention?"
Xue Poye laughed loudly: "Everyone in the world is striving for fame and wealth, and I am just a member of the common people. Naturally, I am not immune to these worldly intrusions. However, I am helpless, but I really don't have the ability to start such a big business."
A strange look flashed across Yuan Buyi's eyes, and he said calmly: "Actually, Shopkeeper Xue is very capable. Not everyone has these twenty horses!"
Xue Poye smiled faintly and did not answer. He picked up the purple clay cup and drank tea to cover it up.
"Although countless caravans want to do this Humannanyun business, it is lucky to be able to return to Dachu with one's life!" Yuan Buyi's voice was very calm.
When Xue Poye heard this, he was indescribably surprised and confused, and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?"
Yuan Buyi said calmly: "Although Hu Manan's luck is astonishingly profitable, it is a life-threatening business. If luck is not good, not only will the horses and property be lost, but their lives will also be lost in a foreign land."
Xue Poye was extremely shocked and couldn't figure out the key. His expression changed slightly and he asked: "Could it be that the barbarians were dishonest and massacred our merchants from Chu without permission?"
Yuan Buyi shook his head, "If we really go to the Beihu area of the grassland, it will be safe. The people of Beihu are also in great demand for Da Chu's silk porcelain and medicinal tea. Our merchants went to the hinterland of the grassland and they were very popular.
, even the princes and nobles of Beihu will reward you!"
Hearing what Yuan Buyi said, Xue Poye was even more confused.dd
