Chapter 396: Closing the Deal

However, for Liu Zheng, he is a profiteer, how can he stop at just 400 war horses.

What he needed was a large number of war horses, and he wanted to form a cavalry force of more than 10,000 people, and four hundred war horses were far from being satisfied with him, so Liu Zheng immediately spoke.

"Four hundred war horses, too few."

"Four hundred war horses, you're too little?"

Su Fuyan was immediately displeased, revealing a not very happy look.

"If it is in other places, 10,000 stone grain for 400 war horses, naturally it is not a small amount, but here in Liaodong, grain is hard currency, not to mention that we are the only ones who can take out 10,000 stone of grain in this vicinity, even if I give this grain to other tribes, I am afraid that people from other tribes can give me the price of more than 500 war horses."

Four hundred war horses is the price offered by Su Fuyan, but Liu Zheng, who has always liked to bargain for business, will certainly not agree so Qingyi.

How can you deceive dozens of more war horses.

Anyway, the war horses are not particularly valuable in Su Muyan's hands, and the people under their command are grazing nearby, and the sheep are hundreds, thousands, and a family sometimes takes care of hundreds of war horses.

Not to mention 100,000 war horses, tens of thousands of cattle and horses, there must still be them.

Although Liu Zheng will not only buy war horses under Su Muyan's men, he will definitely bring this price down so that he can transport a large amount of grain to sell in the future.

"The price of four hundred war horses is already a lot, if it weren't for the winter, if you came at other times, we wouldn't have sold them to you at this price."

"It is precisely because of this that I came here in winter, things are scarce and expensive, and Su Fuyan Yu, I came this time to discuss business with you, and I did not do it for the imperial court, but for another adult who did not have a good relationship with the imperial court, you can rest assured, selling us war horses is not directly into the hands of the Han court."

Liu Zheng knew that Su Fuyan would not sell him the war horse, because he was worried that the war horse would fall directly into the hands of the imperial court.

"Think about it, the imperial court has its own horse farm, and if it needs war horses, it won't come to you to buy them at all, half of them go to Xiliang to buy strong enough Xiliang horses, how can they come to you to buy horses."

Liu Zheng's explanation made Su Fuyan's face look a little better, and after thinking about it, this is indeed the case.

The imperial court set up horse farms in Youzhou and Xiliang respectively, and had its own horse supply areas, although the number of horse supplies in these horse farms emerged, but the imperial court's own army configuration was still sufficient.

In many cases, there are also occasional traveling merchants who buy horses on the Karasuma people's side, in fact, the Karasuma people also know that they are all purchased by some high-ranking officials and nobles in the Han Dynasty, or princes from all over the country.

However, Su Muyan also turned a blind eye, after all, if he didn't do it, people from other tribes would still do it, and then others would grow stronger, but he, the one who insisted on not giving the big Han horses, finally starved to death.

Therefore, Su Muyan sometimes sells horses to others, but he never thought that it is still very rare to sell so many and hundreds of war horses at one time.

After all, this is a lot of money, and many people can't get it all at once.

"If you say that, it's not impossible to give you more."

"Five hundred horses, 20,000 stone of grain, and I can promise you that I can also contract your grain next winter, so that you will no longer be hungry in winter, how about it?"

Su Fuyan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Okay, I promised."

"Since we all agreed, then send us a few dozen extra cows, don't mind, we can give you some salt and iron."

After Liu Zheng finished talking about the most important war horse, he immediately spoke again and asked Su Fuyan for some cattle.

Cattle are only used as food in this Liaodong region, but if Liu Zheng transports them back to Jiaozhou, it will be different.

That's an important little expert in cultivating land, and a good helper for farmers. If there is a large number of cultivated cattle, I am afraid that the cultivated area of Jiaozhou can rise several times again.

When the time comes, after there is a lot of grain and grass, and there is no worry about food and clothing, the economy of Jiaozhou will also develop.

Since the horses were sold to Liu Zheng, then cattle are not a precious thing, a cow, on the Liaodong side, is less than one-fifth of the war horse, and there are only dozens of cattle, Su Fuyan is naturally not a problem.

directly agreed, especially after Liu Zheng said that he could give him some salt and iron, which surprised Su Fuyan even more, after all, in their Liaodong, salt is a rare thing, and few people sell it.

With Liu Zheng's promise and Su Fuyan's consent, this transaction was not so difficult, and an agreement was reached soon, Liu Zheng did not immediately trade with Su Fuyan, even if he wanted to trade, he couldn't take out so much grain at this time, and the ships he carried grain were still docked on the coast of western Liaoning at this time.

After calculating the distance, he began to calculate how many days it would take to get here, and then made an appointment with Su Muyan for the first transaction.

After asking Su Muyan to prepare the horses, Liu Zheng said goodbye to Su Muyan here, and they began to go to Liaoxi County to transport the goods in their ships docked on the coast of Liaoxi to Su Muyan's city, and at the same time they had to start preparing for the second transportation.

This time, although Liu Zheng prepared thousands of soldiers and horses and a few cargo ships, counting the fleet of the Mi family in Xuzhou, there were also more than a dozen ships, but more than a dozen ships, loaded with relatively scattered things, and there were not a lot of grain and grass.

They also have to reserve grain and grass to return to Jiaozhou, so there are really not many people who need to be able to take out the trade, and if they want to complete the transaction of 10,000 stone grain and grass, the second round of transportation must be indispensable.

And now that Liu Zheng has opened up the shipping route from Jiaozhou to Youzhou, he only needs to follow the plan they came to before, there is no problem, and the second round of transportation can also be put on the agenda.

A few days later, Liu Zheng sent the grain and grass transported this time to the royal court of Shan Yu, and completed a transaction with Su Fuyan, three hundred war horses and one hundred cattle.

Liu Zheng transported these things again and returned to the coast, while Mi Fang led the people to use the identity of traveling merchants alone to trade with the Karasuma people of other tribes of this generation.

After staying here for seven or eight days, Liu Zheng led all the people back.
