Chapter 266: No Sincerity
One of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty, the king of the backer, is very old, and there are twelve Taibao under his command, all of whom are fierce generals, but no one can be of great use when it comes to the talent of the commander.
To say that the lord of Yujun has a unique vision and does things in the style of his youth, but it is a pity that he is a daughter.
His net worth and sense of responsibility to defend the country seem to be inherited by no one.
"Lord Wang, the lord of Yujun is back to the city." The herald burst into the report.
The management of the governor's office of the sub-city is like this, and everything is similar to the barracks, and the heralds have some privileges to act cheaply, such as coming in without greeting them, mainly for fear of delaying the war information.
"Let her come to me as soon as my son returns."
"Command." The herald soon left the governor's office.
Li De saw the scene of the border pass, all the way was desolate, Zicheng was already the largest city in this area, and it was also the base camp where the king of the backer was located.
The solid city wall has a heavy historical atmosphere, and the guards at the gate are all in good standby, and their state is more serious than the guards of Chang'an City.
The gate of Zicheng was wide open, and a group of hundreds of soldiers and horses soon came towards the caravan.
"Don't worry, it's my big brother." Lord Jade reminded.
"Sister Yu'er, you can be regarded as back, the eldest brother is very worried about you, the prince is in a hurry, just let you go to see him quickly." Luo Fang said directly without being polite.
"I'm going to the governor's mansion, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Li De, who helped us transport the salary, the eldest son of the Huai family of Zhao County."
Lord Jade made a brief introduction and explained some things.
"Li Gongzi, I have something important to do, and I will hand over the money to my eldest brother Luo Fang, he will arrange it, and I will come to thank you later."
The lord of Yujun acted vigorously and handed over the caravan to Luo Fang, and she went directly into the city.
"Li Gongzi worked hard, the last general Luo Fang is responsible for handing over the silver two, let's go to the city." Luo Fang said politely.
"Okay." Li De naturally agreed, and now he is waiting to let the other party do the friendship of the landlord after the handover as soon as possible.
After many days of continuous travel, people were already sleepy and tired, so they finished early and rested early.
Luo Fang was very polite, as the boss of the Twelfth Taibao, after doing things carefully and entering the city, he let Li De and others live in the courtyard of the governor's mansion.
The banquet was small but sincere, and the low tables were full of fine meat, which was considered to be of the highest standard at the border gate.
"Li Gongzi, I see that there are a lot of horses in your caravan, is this trip here to sell horses?"
Li De heard that there seemed to be intention in the other party's words, so he asked tentatively: "I heard that the price of horses at the border gate is not high, and it may be more valuable if they are transported back to Chang'an." ”
"Having said that, but so many horses can't be sold in a moment, why don't you sell the horses to us, and the price is 20% lower than the purchase price of the horse market in Zicheng, how about it?"
Luo Fang was very frank, the source of the horses, the Jade County Lord, had already said hello, don't look at the Jade County Lord didn't say anything at that time, but the horse bandit guards made great efforts.
Besides, the price of pressing 20% is to let Li De return his favor, and the injured horses themselves will be sold at a low price, and the Northwest soldiers will take advantage of some more prices.
They are all Jingming's people, Li De naturally knows what the other party has in mind, and if he wants to bring the horses back to Chang'an to sell them, the price can go up, but it involves various things such as feeding horses, raising horses, treatment, transportation, and care.
The Li family is so a little bit of a person, the couriers are all to do things, and the couriers can't change careers to take care of so many horses, and then there are people who are the lord of the jade county are also the main force, if you don't give it, you will feel embarrassed.
"Brother Luo said so, okay, but only half of the quantity is sold." Li Dedao.
"Li Gongzi, can you plan to buy and sell so many war horses?" Luo Fang asked.
"I am dissatisfied with Brother Luo, I also want to buy more horses for transportation when I go to the border this time, how can I not have horses." Li Dedao.
Luo Fang understood in his heart, didn't Li De transport goods for them in the name of the caravan this time, if Li De's convoy could travel back and forth between the two places, they would benefit.
"If you want to buy horses from the Western Regions, the price is not cheap." Luo Fang said.
Li De somewhat understands the situation in the Western Regions, but there is no wholesale price, not to mention the price of horses, the transportation cost along the way back to Chang'an is a big expense, where is there a horse bandit to cheap.
"The people of the Western Regions are very shrewd, they know that the Sui Dynasty lacks war horses, so the prices in the horse market are stable, especially the price of high-quality war horses is not something that ordinary horse dealers can afford."
Li De naturally knows what high-quality war horses mean, for example, the war horses collected by Tang Guogong Li Yuan are all priced at more than 100 guan, for example, in Dabai's terms, the value of 1,000 guan is reasonable.
"Well, let's talk about buying horses now, I want to keep twenty war horses, and sell the rest to you." Li Dedao.
Luo Fang knew in his heart what kind of horses were left, and half of them were still injured, so he said: "Two hundred yuan, call someone to send it after the dinner." ”
If you eat a meal, you will get 200 yuan, and the price is within the affordable range.
The dinner party was full of joy and the transaction was completed in the evening, and the horses that Luo Fang personally brought over to lead the horses quickly completed the transaction.
"Out of the dust, call someone to come over and divide the money, and give the bonus courier ten times per person." Li Dedao.
Zhang Chuchen understood that the money was not their share, and in the blink of an eye, all the two hundred guan were all distributed, and there was no one left.
Li De is not in a hurry, and quickly make up for sleep after dealing with this matter.
The next day, the caravan got up early, and last night they must have had a sweet dream with ten yuan in their arms, and they were happy to see the courier early in the morning.
"Li Gongzi, I told my father-in-law about you, I will take you to find a few local big businessmen today, and you can talk about it when the time comes."
Li De didn't have the habit of getting up early, and just wanted to sleep a little more, but the truth didn't allow it.
"Didn't you say I wanted a craftsman, and I would take you to someone." The resolute and resolute style of the Yujun Lord made Li Dezhen see what efficiency is.
The people brought by the Lord of Jade County, after explaining the situation, immediately a group of people came over, their eyes were full of longing, they were eager to escape from the sea of suffering, and more directly descended to the fate.
"The roster is full of skilled craftsmen."
Li De saw that many names were written in Fanyu, and there were all kinds of job introductions, even those who had helped carry things.
"Lord Yujun, they are really craftsmen from the Western Regions, how can they not even be as good as the craftsmen of the Chang'an workshop." Li De questioned.
He really dared to think that the craftsmanship of these people was really so bad that those who wanted to hire them could only find Sui talents.
Li De made up his mind, although the other party was not angry, but he should be able to recover the investment if he cultivated it, closed his name and shook his head and said to the people: "It's too expensive, I'm a big customer, your price is not beautiful, there is no sincerity, the main Yujun is not let's change it and take a look." ”
