Chapter 141: I’ll reward you with a big chicken drumstick tonight
Things are changing here in Wancheng.
Cao Cao entered Wancheng as he wished, and captured Zhang Xiu's tens of thousands of cavalry as he wished.
All of this may seem calm, but hidden beneath the calm surface is a turbulent undercurrent.
Of course, it will take a day or two for this raging wave to burst out!
…
There is a wine shop outside Xudu City. Compared with the complicated situation in Wancheng, this place has a different scene.
At this time, Yi Xiaotian was taking a walk happily. When he was a little tired, he sent someone to get a deck chair, and he lay comfortably on the deck chair and bathed in the afternoon sun.
The sunshine today is particularly dazzling, and it seems to indicate that something big is going to happen.
Of course, some discerning clerks hurriedly fetched oil umbrellas, fearing that the sun would be too strong and hurt their boss.
Today, Yi Xiaotian is lying on the recliner, slowly closing his eyes, and can't help but sigh in his heart, life as a boss is very comfortable!
The entire restaurant is laid out step by step, peaceful and leisurely.
No, it's not completely peaceful either.
Just now, Lu Lingqi from the blacksmith shop caught a very suspicious guy, tied him up in three strokes, and quickly carried him to her husband Yi Xiaotian.
Boom... the suspicious guy was hit hard on the ground.
Lu Lingqi said as if she was taking credit: "Sir, a foreigner broke into our villa. I saw him suspicious and captured him. He yelled and argued that he was in business, so I slapped him twice.
Ershuazi, you are much more honest now, how about you sir, come and examine me?"
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian, who was originally lazy, trembled and sat up suddenly.
Hu people? Come to Xudu City to do business. This is obviously smuggling.
Today's Han border is not peaceful.
Whether it was Wuhuan, Xianbei or Southern Xiongnu, they went south to plunder at every turn.
For this reason, the relationship between the Han people and the Hu people was extremely tense. Not to mention the expressly prohibited commercial activities such as mutual trading, the people of the Han people alone were extremely disgusted with Hu merchants.
As disgusting as it is, many big clans still found business opportunities from it. They colluded with Hu merchants to secretly transport some of the Hu people's goods to sell, and then transported the Han's cloth and cotton to the Hu lands for sale, making profits on both sides.
However, in recent times, Cao Cao has carried out drastic reforms and many high-ranking officials have been dismissed, many of whom were closely related to Hu Shang.
Obviously, the Hu businessman who was being kidnapped by Lu Lingqi was an unfortunate guy. His backend must have collapsed, right? It is estimated that some goods were impounded in Xudu.
When he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes, it seemed to be profitable.
"Lingqi did a good job..."
Yi Xiaotian did not forget to praise Lu Lingqi, "I will reward you with a big chicken drumstick tonight..."
After just one serious sentence, Yi Xiaotian lost his integrity again...
"Huh, sir, you're making fun of me again!" Lu Lingqi pouted, and immediately kicked the Hu Shang to the ground with force, causing Hu Shang's face to rub hard against the ground...
"Ouch, ouch..."
Hu Shang was in pain and screamed.
"You still dare to scream?" Lu Lingqi's cold words came out immediately, and Hu Shang trembled in fright. Lu Lingqi's voice continued. "What will my husband ask you? What will you say? If you dare to conceal or lie, then...
"
At this point, Lu Lingqi raised her fists. "You have to be careful of my aunt's fists and don't open your eyes!"
Uh... As soon as these words came out of his mouth, let alone Hu Shang, Yi Xiaotian trembled all over.
Lu Lingqi is really an irritable loli...
Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, he became very sympathetic to this Hu businessman. Who did he provoke?
Yi Xiaotian shook his head, then looked directly at the foreigner and asked coldly, "What's your name? What kind of business do you do?"
Well…
Hu Shang hesitated for a moment. He felt miserable and wanted to cry. Finally, he met a manager who seemed to be somewhat reasonable.
Hu Shang knelt down quickly.
He thought to himself that his previous backer had fallen, but finally, for the sake of so many years of business, the old backer also pointed out a clear path for him and introduced him to Youjian Villa, saying that the Villa could reach the sky and he could continue to help him.
Do business.
Hu Shang arrived in a hurry, but he didn't expect that he would look like this miserable.
He had been doing business between the Han and Hu regions for many years and knew some Chinese. He quickly replied, "My name is Temate Trumpu Sihundan. I have met... met... this gentleman."
Ah...what the hell? Trump? A bastard?
This name is very funny, but Yi Xiaotian likes it very much...
Obviously, Hu Shang's tone was really jerky, and Yi Xiaotian really didn't want to listen to his poor Chinese, so he interrupted impatiently.
"Come on, let's call you 'little spy'. Why do you idiots give me such a long name? Are you testing my shopkeeper's memory?"
The little spy was suddenly confused...
However, the businessman is always very smooth, and his cheeks were suddenly filled with smiles.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yi, for the name. I came to Xudu this time... to rebuild the friendship between Hu and Han. When Zhaojun left the country... we, Hu and Han, are all members of the same family..."
"Come on…"
Seeing him nagging endlessly, Yi Xiaotian suddenly lost his patience. "Tell me, what are you selling here? Who introduced you to Youjian Villa?"
Yi Xiaotian is actually more concerned about the latter issue.
If you can introduce Hu Shang to visit me, then he probably knows you? Could it be that Brother Hidden? No, didn't Brother Hidden go with Cao Cao to attack Wancheng? Now Brother Hidden is not only a big businessman, but also Cao Cao's staff.
Well, if you can’t collude with Hu Shang, then who can you do?
Could it be the Yang family of Hongnong? Let me go, I dare you that the Yang family still relies on smuggling to make profits.
Yi Xiaotian half guessed it...
However, the little agent obviously did not admit it, "Who introduced me, I can't say this, I can't say..." The little agent waved his hands repeatedly. "I only know that by cooperating with the shopkeeper, both of us can make a lot of money!"
Speaking of cooperation, the little agent knelt and moved a few steps towards Yi Xiaotian.
"Sir shopkeeper, let me tell you this, I am in the horse business! I can transport the best horses in Hudi, and I can sell them to the shopkeeper for free. However, I want... I want to get some
goods!"
There are conditions for doing business.
However, speaking of it, Yi Xiaotian was very excited about the chips Xiaote offered.
You must know that the Central Plains is most in short supply of horses. Except for the war horses produced in Liangzhou in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the rest of the states and counties have horses, but their strength is far from the requirements of the battlefield.
Therefore, except for Dong Zhuo's old tribe and the group of Liangzhou warlords, most of the princes in the Central Plains had infantry, and cavalry was simply a luxury for them.
If we can open up the industry chain of horses, whether we sell them to Brother Hao, let Brother Hao sell them to Cao Cao, or breed and cultivate them ourselves, this will be a hugely profitable business!
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. "Come on, let's talk about it, what do you want?"
Yi Xiaotian's tone softened a bit.
Although the attitude has softened, the bottom line is still there.
The Hu people are a foreign race. If they want iron weapons, weapons, and halberds, Yi Xiaotian will not agree to help smuggle them no matter what...
In the final analysis, the internal conquests in the Central Plains are internal conflicts within the nation. They can help the foreigners become stronger and allow them to continue to plunder the Han people. This is a shameless act of treason.
In this regard, Yi Xiaotian's heart is like a clear mirror, and he can still handle matters of national justice clearly.
At this moment, the corners of Xiaote's mouth cracked, and he blurted out without thinking.
