Chapter 157: The business is negotiated

The purpose of the negotiation between Mu Lingxuan and the Tuotuo clan and the Tuanta clan is very clear, they want war horses, cattle and sheep, furs, and mineral deposits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since Mu Yishan can do business with the Rong Di people, why can't he do it?

As long as it is not human trafficking, it is enough not to touch salt and iron, anyway, there is a lack of resources on the grassland, and the Rongdi people have fewer things and more things, such as at the moment, what they lack the most - food, can't they take it out and make a trade?

If you don't have to fight desperately to grab it, you can take food home if you do business seriously, why don't you do it?

In this world, no matter which race it is, he doesn't have a fool idiot who doesn't want to live and just wants to die, needless to say, Mu Lingxuan's conditions can most touch the hearts of Hei Dag and Ba Bulei, their two races are now in a desperate situation, gritting their teeth, they have to catch the olive branch handed out by Mu Lingxuan, so it took almost no effort to negotiate the business smoothly.

Of course, Mu Lingxuan did this very secretly, after all, as an official, he traded with the enemy country, but it was not allowed by the laws of the Great Zhou, if this was known by the enemies of the Mu family, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would suffer.

Therefore, when the time comes, it will be Wanbao Pavilion who will do business with these two clans, and the war horses they brought back, Mu Lingxuan will buy them again, which is bought in the hands of the merchants of the Great Zhou, and it is completely legal.

And in private, this matter has to be told to Xuanping Hou, so that the old man also has a bottom in his heart, as for the cousin of the Liang family in the capital, he also has to report to the letter, in this way, it is equivalent to crossing the clear road in the saint, it is nothing more than half of the profit, and there can be a large windfall to fill the inner treasury, presumably the new emperor will also be very satisfied.

Because the content of the negotiation must be completely confidential, all the people Mu Lingxuan brought with him during the negotiation were his own henchmen, and the reason why Lin Huaide existed was also to let the saint know that the content of the negotiation was completely consistent with the report he had later, and he Mu Lingxuan had no intention of bullying the king.

Under such strict defense, no one outside knew what they negotiated with the Tuotuo clan and the Tuanta clan that day.

However, what everyone knows is that the negotiations of their own prince were very effective, and in the afternoon of the same day, Hedage and Ba Bulei ordered the camp to be pulled out, and the whole army withdrew to the Chi Yu grassland.

As compensation, Hadag's wife and children were all returned, and as for the other nobles of the Tuotuo clan, they had to wait for their families to redeem them.

Of course, these are all things on the surface, in private, Mu Lingxuan gave each of the two clans one hundred stones of grain and fifty boxes of tea in advance, and then asked the caravan to go to the two clans to bring back the war horses and the remaining materials.

As for the grain given in advance, and the silver taels they ransomed for the prisoners of war, they were all deducted from the profits of the business between the two tribes.

Hedag was clever, and he calculated the account at that time, anyway, the money was given early and late, so he simply proposed, and now he will exchange war horses for prisoners of war!

Mu Lingxuan couldn't ask for this, and as soon as the two sides were counted, Hei Dag ransomed all the clansmen, paying a total of 1,680 good horses.

Seeing that those fat and strong war horses were taken away by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and exchanged for a group of old, weak, sick and disabled wastes with fat brains, Ba Bulei was very happy in his heart, "Fortunately, it is not my clan's camp that has been captured!" ”

Ba Bulei couldn't help but suggest to his brother-in-law, "I said, redeem some useful people, what do you do with those fat pigs?" ”

Hadag smiled, "When did you see me make a loss-making deal?" ”

"I told them a long time ago, let's settle the accounts when we go home, I tell you, don't look at the loss now, go back and collect the accounts, I still have to earn!"

"......" Ba Bulei was speechless for a moment at the shrewd brother-in-law, but if it weren't for the clever brother-in-law, wouldn't the two of them have been calculated by others long ago?

Looking at the crying sister and the quail-like nephew, Ba Bulei's heart softened, and in the end he still gave 500 war horses to his brother-in-law, so that there were fewer people walking home on foot.

With the rapid retreat of the Rong Di people on the side of Xuhu Pass, the other Rong Di kings who are still fighting everywhere are also anxious.

Why?

It's not because the crisis in Xuhu Pass has been lifted, it also means that the soldiers in Xuhu Pass can go to various places to support at any time!

It's hard to tell the difference right now, if there are some strong reinforcements, will there still be good fruit to eat?

For a while, Rong Di's army was unstable, and the people were panicked, and these kings didn't have the heart to fight these difficult passes, so they simply broke into pieces, cast nets in all directions, and gave the policy to their subordinates, that is, run away after grabbing, and everyone meet on the grassland!

In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately turned passive into active, but although the pressure on the border cities at the major passes was gone, the surrounding small counties and villages could suffer, but in the general situation, sacrifice was inevitable.

After the war, one after another, there were reports of how much damage was reported in various places, Mu Detai read the paperwork, listened to the report, and said: "In this way, it seems that the area around Xuhu Pass has suffered the least looting, and the credit they have made should be the crown of all places this year." ”

Mu Detai has his own plans in his heart, he knows that the new emperor ascends the throne, and there are still many people in the court who are watching the situation, so to speak, the emperor needs such a big victory to establish his authority!

Come to the people of the world, and prove yourself to the officials of the court, you are the true dragon son of heaven, and the avenue is where you go!

Therefore, this time the victory must be reported quickly, and it must be reported with great fanfare!

Fortunately, Mu Lingxuan was clever, and discussed with Hei Dag in advance, and detained more than a dozen of Hei Dage's rivals, who are always imperial uncles, princes and the like, and it is definitely enough to go to the capital to offer prisoners!

This will be discussed by Mu Detai's side, all of them are his confidants, and they can feel the thoughts of their masters, and they are all clear, and they inevitably praise the foresight and extraordinary ability of the prince of the world, and praise the future successor of the prince of the world, the young hero, the new generation of war gods in the West.

Others praised his heir for his excellence, and Mu Detai was naturally happy in his heart, but the top priority was to write a letter of praise for virtue and send it to the capital in an expedited manner for 800 miles.

Come to think of it, what will follow must be the will of the Holy Lord to agree to the sacrifice of prisoners, and at that time, there will be a lot of things that need to be done.

So, the sycophants came to an abrupt end, and what followed was the spelling contest of your words and my words, with so many talented and agile staff, and a gorgeous letter, which was still trivial.

After finishing the business, Mu Detai personally wrote a letter to his family, telling his son's achievements this time to his wife, so that his mother liked it.

In the end, the father was still very subtle, and said tactfully, "Ah Xuan's meritorious service this time is quite high, and he presented a fold to the saint for his husband, and I think the saint will also reward him, how can I not congratulate him on such a happy event?" ”

This means that it is not to imply to the wife to make the son's engagement banquet more grand, so that the saint can know that his Mu family is married to the saint's confidant this time.

Such a good deed of loyalty to the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord must have been very happy, and it would have been best if the person sent by the Holy Lord to deliver the decree had arrived in time, could have seen this grand occasion with his own eyes, and returned to Beijing to tell the new Emperor to know.

It's just that Mu Lingxuan and Lan Jiayin's big date has been set, and I don't know when this holy decree will come, whether the two compartments can collide together, but it really can only depend on the will of heaven.

With the express indication of the head of the Xuanping Hou family, the Xuanping Hou Mansion dares not to be unsatisfied? Needless to say, from top to bottom, I was busy without touching the ground.

Fortunately, now that Xue Rulan has surrendered to Mu Lingxuan, the things between them are secret, and only a few people know about them, and no one will know the secret at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xue Rulan's sudden and uncharacteristic stammering with Mrs. Xuanping Hou was also because her husband lost power, and she and her mother's brother had a bad relationship because of their divorce, and in desperation, she bowed her head to her serious mother-in-law in exchange for support, which was also expected, and it was not too surprising.

Therefore, in this world, don't just listen to other people's boasts, in fact, the truth of the matter is often only understood by the parties themselves.

Xue Rulan is now relied on by Liang Wenyu, and most of her son's affairs have been delivered, this power is in hand, but she doesn't dare to have the slightest neglect, she works hard every day, and even works harder than her subordinates, and after a few days, she is so busy that she is dizzy and cramping, but she is happy in her heart, on the day Liang Wenyu received the letter from Hou Ye, Mu Lingxuan's eldest girl Baolan also sent her a letter.

This is Mu Ren's handwritten letter, because he had followed the caravan of Mu Yishan to do business with King Holm, he had been to the Chi Grassland several times, he was familiar with the path of the grassland, and he could also speak Rong Di dialect, so he was a rare person who went deep into the enemy camp.

This time, he was approved by Mu Lingxuan to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and he happened to be assigned to Xiao Yang's team, why could Xiao Yang not run away and go directly to the nest of the Tuotuo clan?

This is a lot of Mu Ren's contribution!

Although Mu Ren has made great contributions this time, because Mu Yishan is still alive, this person is only a 'serious illness' after all, not a death of illness, so Mu Ren cannot show up for the time being.

Fortunately, he is fluent in Rong Di and familiar with the terrain, so he was left in Xuhu Pass by Mu Lingxuan, and asked him to give Lin Huaide a hand, preparing to make the first transaction with the Tutuo clan and the Tuanta clan, which can be regarded as a serious way out.

Xue Rulan thought to herself, Mu Ren can smoothly hug Mu Lingxuan's thigh, this is also a rare good thing, what others can't ask for, Mu Ren can't take advantage of the opportunity?

Immediately, he asked someone to invite Lu's mother in, and in Lu's mother's tone, the master and servant jointly wrote a letter, the content of which was to encourage Mu Ren to work hard, don't be homesick, and must do his best to assist the prince to succeed.

The whole article is full of great truths, and she doesn't dare to reveal any personal feelings, Xue Rulan scratches her heart and lungs, and she doesn't dare to show it, you know, now Mu Ren is still the meat on the chopping block of others, the farther away she is from that person, the more cold she is to that person, and the safer person is, thinking about it this way, no matter how lovesick Xue Rulan is, she is honestly not thorough.

The more Mother Lu wrote, the more smiles appeared on her face, and she thought secretly, "It's worthy of the old slave to cover for the eldest grandmother with fear, it seems that this person is really dedicated to our family." ”

"Just because she is wholeheartedly persuading men to make meritorious contributions, instead of hooking people back, it shows that the eldest grandmother is still planning for Ah Ren's future."

"In this way, you can have a future, both of you are still young, there is time, why worry about this half a year?"

After writing the last word, Lu's mother cleaned the pen in the pen wash of the white jade lotus on the bookcase, and hung it on the pen stand of the small sandalwood carved flowers and birds to dry.

Familiar with the road, he took the envelope in the bookcase at the left rear of the bookcase, packed the letter, and then bent his knees and asked Xue Rulan, "Grandma, this letter slave is still sent to Baolan, please ask her to go to Xuhu Pass with the things of the prince?" ”

"Very good, let's not work hard for nothing, this girl, you will let Mingzhu open the cabinet in a while, choose two of my new Shu brocade this year, and send one to Caolu, so that they can cut a new dress, and it is good to wear it when their prince is engaged." Xue Rulan has a strong family background and is extremely generous, she is now the time to establish a good relationship with Mu Lingxuan, such a good opportunity is in front of her, and she is a fool not to use it.

Mother Lu bent her knees, and then thought of the sick and groggy Qiaozhu in the backyard bungalow, and couldn't help frowning, and suggested to her grandmother, "There is one more thing, the slave wants to report to the grandmother." ”

"Oh? What's up? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. Xue Rulan waved her hand and motioned for Lu's mother to speak bluntly.

Mother Lu nodded and said: "The slave knows that you have always believed in Qiaozhu's girl, so she let her stay in the inner courtyard to recuperate, but it has been almost two months, and her illness has not improved in the slightest, but has become more and more serious. ”

"Otherwise, just send Qiaozhu to our western farm to recuperate, at least we can free up the jade beads, right?"

Xue Rulan can see clearly now, Qiaozhu, the slut, is a big traitor, and Yuzhu, this girl's heart is too big, and it is a scourge to stay, she has made up her mind about these two maids, and she will not let people get close to her again.

And if she wants to release Qiaozhu at this time, it is also impossible, this time Mu Lingxuan went to take over Gutian City, and by the way, Mu Yishan was placed in the concubine room of Gutian City, and one of the children was all gathered together, together with the gold and silver in the general's mansion, they were all sent back to Pingjing City.

Mu Detai still has a father-son relationship with Mu Yishan in the end, and deliberately asked the long entourage around him to rush to pass the word, so that the Huang family and Yue'er, the two concubines who are the most favored by the uncle, were sent to Nanshan Villa with their luggage to take care of Mu Yishan, who was lingering on the sickbed.
