Chapter 38: Bewitchment

Lai Ba was busy trading goods, and every time he made a deal, he would give the herdsmen an inconspicuous gadget, either a knife, or a small spoon, and if he saw that someone had a little girl, he would give someone the cheapest silk flower.

Soon, the name of his generosity has spread all over the grassland, he can be with the Tibetan men leaning on the goods as high as the mountain and stumbling in Tubo to discuss the fat and thinness of this year's cattle and sheep in Tubo dialect, and he can also throw his own wine bag to the other party with a smile, and when the other party ignores a qiē drink, he will jump back and grab it......

Everyone has a stage that suits him best, and Lai Ba has already found his own stage, where he is no longer a humble escape, but a famous and generous businessman on the grassland, and here he is no longer the one who holds his sick daughter to heaven and earth without a way, although his body is as tired as before, he hopes that this fatigue can continue until death takes away the right to be tired.

Looking at Yun Zheng galloping on the grassland, his heart was full of gratitude, it was this young man who shouted loudly and rode a horse, inadvertently, completely changed his life, that is a wise person, Lai Ba knew it from the first time he saw Yun Zheng.

Riding a horse can also get hurt, when the three young men jumped off their horses and walked like ducks with their legs crossed, the herdsmen provoked the herdsmen's good-natured mockery, and as for the women who put the herbs in their mouths and chewed them, they wanted to untie their pants and give them medicine, all the three could do was to run away.

I still don't know how to ride a horse, people and horses don't work well together, and the inner thighs are constantly rubbed on the rough saddle, and the most delicate skin and flesh on the body will be rubbed red and swollen, and then fester.

Although there are many Tibetans, they are very poor, and they can only trade one thing at a time, and the most interesting thing for them to trade is salt. tea leaves, and an iron pot.

There are many ways to eat salt, and you can tie it with a rope and soak it in a pot. It's one of them, of course. There is also an even more exaggerated way to eat it called "Wangwang Salt", where you hang the salt cube above your head, take a bite of the broth without salt, just look at the salt cube, and then combine the taste of the salt and the taste of the broth in your mind, which is the most economical.

Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to store salt, the herdsmen will never let it go, and the cattle and sheep know to lick the stones with salt. Not to mention people.

However, in Yun Zheng's arrangement, the salt is exactly the least, and on the other side of the mountain, the salt transported by the Liang family is enough for Yun Zheng to fill a whole pack team. However, the pack caravan that came to the steppe had only five pack horses carrying salt on their backs......

Lai Ba begged Yun Zheng more than once to bring more salt, in his consciousness, those herdsmen needed this thing very much, and salt could also bring the caravan the greatest profit. However, Yun Zheng was constantly reducing the proportion of salt in the cargo, although it was a little more than the last time, and it was inconspicuous to compare it with the goods of the entire pack team.

The only place where the Song State had an advantage over Tibet was abundance, that is, the abundance of materials, the more goods that the enemy urgently needed. The more you have to tighten your control, this is a normal way to deal with it, and Yun Zheng is strictly implementing this.

Linen cloth is what the pack team needs to sell desperately, this thing has been rotten in the Great Song Dynasty, so as long as there is a chance, you must help the people of the Great Song Dynasty to exchange the linen cloth for money, or something they urgently need, which is what a responsible businessman should do in foreign transactions.

Three days have passed, and the caravan's goods have decreased by thirty percent, but there are more cattle and horses, and this time the Eagle King allowed Yun Zheng to exchange for a hundred war horses from here, which is still for the sake of Yun Zheng's rich gifts.

Sooner or later, the conspiracy will ferment, but the speed of fermentation is beyond Yun Zheng's imagination, and in the past few days, there have been samurai and elderly herdsmen entering and leaving the tent of the Eagle King, and they all have the same quality, that is, fierce, and dirty.

"Prepare a hundred yuan for me, preferably Jiaozi, and I'll help you do what you said." After Huang Youting came out of the big tent, he whispered to Yun Zheng.

"Nonsense, a hundred dollars? Lao Huang, you have a bit of a pattern, okay? What can you do with a hundred dollars? In Chengdu Mansion, you can't even buy a slightly decent house, give it to you, this is the Jiaozi of the Liang family firm of ten ten money, the reputation can be called Taishan stone, take it to Chengdu Mansion to exchange it into copper money, remember, don't let people coax you, give you iron money, you take these money as pocket money, after this trip back, the war horse was sold, I plan to buy a house in Chengdu Mansion, are you interested in being a neighbor with me?

The house in Sanjin on the edge of Huanhua Creek can be taken down for only 1,000 yuan, you and I are both scholars, how can we live in the downtown area? Hanging out with the peddlers and pawns every day?

Not to mention that Du Fu's thatched cottage is still there, the fragrance of Xue Xiaoshu still exists, just the Jiuqu stream with flowers floating in spring is worth this price, the Eagle King wants to rob the robbers' den, what do you and me have to do? We are small people, and in addition to stretching our minds, we must have money.

You're forty this year, aren't you? Have you ever had a family with a small wife? No? What are you waiting for without you? Are you going to sleep in a tent right here with those smelly Tibetan women? And then give birth to one, or two dirty dolls who will only herd sheep with snot? You're full of knowledge in exchange for this? It's a loss. ”

Huang Youting grew his mouth and looked at Yun Zheng, who was foaming at the mouth, and couldn't say a word.

“…… Octagonal bed, light gauze curtains, new mahogany tables and chairs from Dousha Pass, maidservants, small servants, porters, cooks, ox carts, study rooms, Jiaoweiqin, white jade seeds, don't you need these things? A hundred? Hum hum ......"

"Good and beautiful, there is no ...... for things"

"Listen to me first!" Yun Zheng rudely interrupted Huang Youting's words, what ideals and ambitions he said a few days ago are simply nonsense, through Guò's understanding in the past few days, this person is simply an iron rooster who regards wealth as his life and does not pull out a dime, the only reason why he mixed with the Tubo people is that he can't get along in Yuanshan, and in desperation, he ran to Tibet to fight with his ability to speak Tubo dialect, and as a result, the Eagle King has been constantly dealing with Han Shang recently, and he happened to be short of such a person, so he was left behind, It's not what he said at all, the Eagle King values his talent.

"You're thriving here in the Eagle King now, don't tell me that you can't even get a few horses, God, do you know what price the good horses in Kaifeng Bianliang City are sold for? Let's put it this way, you ride a war horse, and then lead a war horse to Bianliang City, and the next day you will be a rich family in the city!

Think about it, as long as you kill the robbers of Wonshan, this big road is our brother's own, how much money do you want? But you also have to pay attention, don't burn the war to Dousha County, once it burns there, the whole road will become a fucking battlefield, and we will make a fart fortune, if you don't get your head cut off, it will be considered that your ancestors will burn high incense. ”

"No, absolutely not!" Huang Youting's face gradually became hideous, a good day was just beckoning to him, and whoever wanted to sabotage his plan would definitely become his mortal enemy.

Jiaozi, who was originally carefully held in his hand, didn't care much at this time, so he put it in his arms casually, took a long breath and got into the big tent of the Eagle King again.

The monkey who was lying behind and listened to him and Huang Youting looked at Yun Zheng with a frightened gaze, Mr. Huang, who was as tall as a saint, was confused by Yun Zheng's few words, and it was estimated that he was going to die for this matter.

However, his fate, the monkey is not optimistic, thinking of the scene where Yun Zheng deceived himself and Han Niu to eat poison, and stepped on himself and Han Niu's stomach to wash his stomach in frenzy, the cold hair on his back has already risen, and others can't see it, but he has been with Yun Zheng for so long, his likes and dislikes can still be seen, Yun Zheng just looks at Huang Youting's back, he unabashedly reveals a disgusted expression, and a trace of murder can be seen in his eyes.

The monkey is very sensitive to the crisis, although this time the crisis is not his own, but the monkey can already predict that the end of this Mr. Huang will be very miserable.

Horseback riding, horseback riding, Yun Zheng is training horseback riding as a life skill, so as long as there is a moment of free time, he will stay on horseback, even if the skin and flesh between the crotch are sparse and sticky to the pants, and he needs to be washed with water every day to take off the pants, he still trains hard, in his opinion, when he needs to run for his life one day in the future, four legs can run faster than two legs.

On this day, Yun Zheng was practicing horseback riding, and suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd of people buying and selling, and a Tubo man excitedly pulled the collar of Lai Ba's clothes and said something excitedly, Lai Ba was smiling bitterly, and did not quarrel with the Tubo man.

Yun Zheng got off the horse and walked up to him and asked Lai Ba, "What's the matter?" ”

Lai Ba first appeased the Tubo man before saying to Yun Zheng: "Young master, this Tubo man wants to sell horses. ”

Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Our horses are not enough for a hundred, if he wants to sell them, he can buy them, what to do in the dispute." ”

"You don't know, his horse is too bad, look, is this a horse? It's not much bigger than a donkey, it's just the waste in the horse, it's a year old, and it's so big. ”

After speaking, he pulled the horse brought by the Tubo man over for Yun Zheng to see.

It's really miserable, this horse is a donkey compared to the one-year-old horses pulled by other herdsmen, and it is full of dirty red hair, just like this, the temper is still bad, the neck is pulled by Lai Ba, but the soles of the feet are motionless.

At this moment, not only Lai Baqi laughed, but other herdsmen also laughed, constantly pointing at the horse, Yun Zheng didn't need to understand Tubo to know what they meant.

The herdsman was so ashamed of himself that he drew his knife and stabbed him to death the disgraceful horse.

Yun Zheng hurriedly stopped it, and said with a smile: "I want this horse, you make a price, I bought it privately, no matter how I say it, it is a life." ”
