Lai Ba was busy trading goods. Every time he made a deal, he would give the herdsmen an inconspicuous gadget, either a knife or a small spoon. He would also give it to others when he saw they had little girls.
Give someone the cheapest silk flower...
Soon, his reputation for generosity spread throughout the grasslands. He could lean on the goods as high as the mountain with the Tubo men and talk in Tubo dialect about the fatness of the cattle and sheep this year.
Throw it to the other person with a smile, and when the other person drinks desperately, he will jump back and grab it...
Everyone has a stage that suits them best. Lai Ba has already found his stage. Here he is no longer a humble runaway, but a famous and generous businessman on the grassland. Here he is no longer
He was holding the sick girl in his arms and had no way to go to heaven or earth. Although his body was as tired as before, he hoped that this tiredness could continue until death took away the right of tiredness.
Looking at Yun Zheng galloping on the grassland, his heart was filled with gratitude. It was this young man who shouted loudly and rode the horse. Inadvertently, he completely changed his life. He was a wise man. Lai Bacong
I knew it the first time I saw Yun Zheng.
Riding a horse can also cause injuries. When the three young men jumped off the horse and walked like ducks with their legs crossed, they provoked good-natured ridicule from the herdsmen. As for those who put the herbs in their mouths and chewed them, they had to unbutton their pants.
The woman who applied the medicine, Yunzheng, and the three of them could only run away.
I still don't know how to ride a horse. The human and the horse don't cooperate well. The inner side of the vagina is constantly rubbing against the rough saddle. Soon the most delicate skin on the body will be rubbed red, swollen, and then fester.
Although there are many Tubo people, they are very poor and can only trade one thing at a time. The things that most arouse their interest in trading are salt, tea, and iron pots.
There are many ways to eat salt. Tying it with a rope and rinsing it in a pot is one of them. Of course, there is also a more exaggerated way of eating salt called "Looking at Salt" where you hang a salt block above your head and eat a mouthful without any salt.
To make broth, just take a look at the salt block, and then combine the taste of salt and the taste of broth into one in your mind, which is the most economical and economical.
Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to store salt, herdsmen will never let it go. Cattle and sheep all know how to lick the salty stones, let alone people.
Unfortunately, in Yun Zheng's arrangement, salt was the least. On the other side of the mountain, the salt transported by the Liang family was enough for Yun Zheng to fill a whole pack team. However, the pack team that came to the grassland only had five pack horses carrying salt on their backs.
…
Lai Ba begged Yun Zheng more than once to bring more salt. In his mind, the herdsmen needed this thing very much, and salt could also bring the greatest profit to the caravan. However, Yun Zheng kept reducing the amount of salt in the caravan.
Although the proportion of the cargo was slightly larger than last time, it seemed inconspicuous when compared with the cargo of the entire pack team.
The only advantage the Song State had over Tubo was its abundance, that is, the abundance of materials. The more urgently needed goods the enemy needed, the more they had to tighten control. This was a normal response, and Yun Zheng was strictly implementing this.
Linen is what the pack team needs to sell hard. This thing is already on the streets in the Song Dynasty, so as long as there is an opportunity, you must help the people of the Song Dynasty to convert linen into money, or something they urgently need. This is the only way to
This is what responsible businessmen should do in foreign transactions.
Three days later, the caravan's goods were reduced by 30%, but the number of cattle and horses increased. This time, the Eagle King allowed Yun Zheng to exchange for one hundred war horses. This was because of Yun Zheng's generous gift.
Sooner or later, the conspiracy will ferment, but the fermentation speed is beyond Yun Zheng's imagination. In the past few days, warriors and elderly herdsmen have been entering and leaving the Eagle King's tent. They all have the same trait, that is
Fierce and dirty.
"Prepare a hundred guan for me, preferably Jiaozi, and I will help you with what you asked for." Huang Youting whispered to Yun Zheng after he came out of the tent.
"Nonsense, one hundred guans? Lao Huang, can you have some ideas? What can you do with one hundred guans? In Chengdu, you can't even buy a decent house. Here are ten ten guans.
Jiaozi from the Liang Family Company has a reputation as good as Mount Tai Shi Gandang. You can exchange it for copper coins in Chengdu. Remember, don’t let others coax you and exchange them for iron coins. You can use these coins as pocket money.
After returning from this trip, I sold my war horse. I plan to buy a house in Chengdu. Are you interested in being my neighbor?
Sanjin's house by Huanhua Stream can be bought for just one thousand guan. You and I are both scholars, how can we live in the downtown area? Mixing with traffickers and goons every day?
Not to mention that Du Fu's Thatched Cottage is still there, and the fragrance of Xue Xiao's books is still there. The nine-curved stream with flowers floating in the spring is worth the price. If the Eagle King wants to rob the robber's den, what does it have to do with you and me? We are small people.
, in addition to being open-minded, you must have money.
Are you forty this year? Do you have a family, wife or children? No? Without you, what are you waiting for? Do you plan to sleep in a tent with those strong-smelling Tubo women here? Then give birth to one, or two.
A dirty baby with a runny nose and herding sheep? Is it a loss for you to get this thing with all your knowledge?"
Huang Youting opened his mouth and looked at Yun Zheng who was foaming at the mouth and couldn't say a word.
"...Octagonal bed, gauze curtains, new mahogany tables and chairs from Douchuan Pass, maid, servant, concierge, cook, oxcart, study, Jiaowei Qin, white jade seeds, don't you need these things?"
Bai Guan? Hehe hehe..."
"A good and beautiful person has nothing to gain..."
"Listen to me first!" Yun Zheng interrupted Huang Youting rudely. The ideals and ambitions he talked about a few days ago were nonsense. After understanding him in the past few days, he was basically a person who regarded wealth as his life and never left a dime.
Iron Rooster, the only reason why he mingled with the Tubo people was that he couldn't survive in Yuanshan, so he ran to the Tibetan area in desperation and relied on his ability to speak Tubo dialect. As a result, the Eagle King has been constantly fighting with the Tibetan people recently.
When dealing with Han merchants, there just happened to be such a person, so he kept him. It was not at all what he said that the Eagle King valued his talents.
"You are now prosperous here at Eagle King. Don't tell me that you can't even get a few horses. For God's sake, do you know what prices the good horses in Kaifeng Bianliang City are selling for? So
Let's say, you ride on a war horse, and then lead another war horse to Bianliang City, and you will be a rich man in the city the next day!
Think about it carefully. As long as the bandits in Yuanshan are killed, this road will be our brothers' own. How much money do you want? But you must also be careful. Don't let the war burn to Doucha County. Once it burns there, the whole country will be destroyed.
The road has turned into a fucking battlefield, and we are still making a ridiculous amount of money. If we don’t get our heads chopped off, it will be like burning incense to our ancestors.”
"No, absolutely not!" Huang Youting's face gradually turned ferocious. Good times were beckoning to him just now. Anyone who wants to destroy his plan will definitely become his life and death enemy.
Jiaozi, who was originally holding it carefully in his hand, didn't care much about it at this time. He casually put it in his arms, took a long breath and got into the Eagle King's big tent again.
The monkey who was lying behind and listening to him talking to Huang Youting looked at Yun Zheng with fearful eyes. It turned out that Mr. Huang, who was as tall as a saint, was confused by Yun Zheng's few words and was probably going to die for this matter.
.
However, Monkey is not optimistic about his fate. When he thinks of Yun Zheng tricking himself and Han Niu into taking poison, and then frantically stepping on his and Han Niu's stomachs to wash their stomachs, the hairs on his back are already rising. Others
I can't tell, but I have been with Yun Zheng for so long, and I can still tell his likes and dislikes. As long as Yun Zheng looks at Huang Youting's back, he will show an unabashed expression of disgust, and there is also something in his eyes.
A hint of murderous intent can be seen.
Monkeys are very sensitive to crises. Although this crisis is not their own, Monkeys can already predict that Mr. Huang's end will be very miserable.
Riding horses, riding horses again, Yun Zheng is training horse riding as a life skill, so as long as he has a moment of free time, he will stay on the horse, even if the flesh on his crotch is pulpy and sticky to his pants, and he needs to pick it up every day
He had to wash his pants with water before he could take them off, but he still practiced hard. In his opinion, when one day he needs to run for his life, four legs will run faster than two legs.
On this day, Yun Zheng was practicing horseback riding. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd of buyers and sellers. A Tubo man excitedly pulled Lai Ba's collar and said something excitedly. Lai Ba had a wry smile on his face and did not talk to him.
The Tubo man got into an argument.
Yun Zheng got off his horse and walked up to Lai Ba and asked: "What's going on?"
Lai Ba first comforted the Tibetan man and then said to Yunzheng: "Master, this Tubo man wants to sell horses."
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "We don't have enough horses for a hundred horses. If he wants to sell them, he can just buy them. What's the point of arguing?"
"You don't know, his horse is too bad. Look, is it a horse? It's not much bigger than a donkey. It's just a waste inside a horse. It's only one year old, and it's only grown so big.
"
After saying that, he brought the horse that the Tubo man had brought over and showed it to Yun Zheng.
It's really miserable. Compared with the one-year-old horses brought by other herdsmen, this horse is basically a donkey. It's covered in dirty red hair. It has a bad temper and a bad neck.
It was pulled for a long time, but the soles of the feet were motionless.
At this time, not only Lai Ba was laughing angrily, but other herdsmen were also laughing and pointing at the horse. Yun Zheng didn't need to understand Tubo to understand what they meant.
The herdsman was so embarrassed by the ridicule that he suddenly pulled out his knife and was about to stab the horse that had caused him such embarrassment to death.
Yun Zheng stopped him quickly and said with a smile: "I want this horse. You give me a price and I will buy it privately. No matter what, it will save my life." (To be continued.)
