After Li Jing returned to Chang'an City, groups of soldiers began to withdraw to Chang'an City in an orderly manner, and there were still a large number of soldiers stationed in Lanzhou City, continuing to deter Tuyuhun and various party departments, and secondly, to support Moton.

However, for a few days, Merton was still elusive, and he couldn't see anyone at all, so Gao Shilian had to come to the door in person to block Merton.

"Now that there is a catastrophe in Shandong, the victims are waiting to be fed, and I don't know what good plan the ink sacrifice wine can have, so that the court can sell cattle and sheep in exchange for money as soon as possible." Gao Shilian went straight to the point.

Merton rubbed his red eyes, he had barely closed his eyes in the past few days, and he had been investigating the situation of the various tribes of Tuyuhun.

"Lord Gao, if I want to control the land of Qinghai for a long time, it is impossible for me to kill chickens and take eggs and sell all the cattle and sheep, otherwise I Datang can only have another war." Merton's positive color channel.

Gao Shilian nodded and said, "Then in terms of ink sacrifice wine, it is better for me to take as much loot as possible in Datang." ”

Merton thought for a moment and said: "At most, thirty percent, and this year's tax exemption must be announced, otherwise it will definitely provoke a civil uprising among the various tribes of Tuyuhun." ”

If Datang wants to make a hammer deal, it can naturally be levied to more than fifty percent, but it is impossible for Datang to give up the land of Qinghai, which Datang has hard-won grazing land.

"But thirty percent of the miscellaneous animals, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the flood in Shandong!" Gao Shilian frowned and said, although he also agreed with Merton's point of view, but the flood in Shandong was just around the corner, and his task here was to raise enough disaster relief funds for Shandong.

Merton laughed and said: "Don't worry, Lord Gao, in the eyes of the kid, there are a lot of valuable things in the land of Qinghai, but not only these cattle and sheep, this is just the first step, the kid promises to be able to save enough money for the land of Shandong." ”

Since Merton is about to do this task, he naturally has to do it properly, not only to complete the task of raising funds beautifully, but also to let the imperial court completely control the land of Qinghai.

"The method of ink sacrifice wine, the old man can naturally trust it." Gao Shilian believed it, but left worriedly.

With Merton's order, the news that the Tang army would only levy 30% of the livestock as spoils of war came on the shore of Qinghai Lake, and the Tuyuhun tribes, who had been worried, finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

On the grassland, the defeated side did not only levy Sancheng as a trophy, but often died and the clan was wiped out, and Sancheng's livestock as a trophy was already a great mercy, and it did not arouse the disgust of the Tuyuhun people.

Especially with the news of this year's tax exemption, the process of collecting the booty this time was extremely smooth, and almost all the tribes paid their livestock and sheep with ease.

All of a sudden, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses gathered on the grass outside Lanzhou City, which looked particularly spectacular, but was still being sent in a steady stream.

"With so many cattle and sheep, I believe that Shandong will be able to support it for a long time." Gao Shilian looked at the livestock all over the mountains, and the cavalry not far away was riding war horses, driving cattle and sheep, and his old face that had been wrinkled showed a smile.

"The livestock has been delivered, and the next thing I have to do is to sell the cattle and sheep." Merton also said with a smile on his face.

"This is the strength of the ink sacrifice wine, the old man will wait for the good news." Gao Shilian said heartily.

"The goods are good and don't worry about selling, the cattle, horses and sheep in Qinghai are all high-quality livestock, and I believe that there will naturally be people who know the goods." Merton laughed and pointed to the many merchants who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Merchants are pursuing profits, and the interests involved in such a big matter of the Western Expedition are too great, and almost the eyes of famous businessmen in the world are attracted here, when the news that the Mo family is in control of the fate of Qinghai comes out.

You must know that all the merchants who followed Mojia Village have made a fortune, with the wealth myth of Mojia as an example, all the merchants are like cats that smell fishy, and they have gathered in Lanzhou City.

In front of the Taishou Mansion in Lanzhou, when Li Jing left, it was naturally called the place where Gao Shilian stayed, but now it was requisitioned by Merton, and the entire Taishou Mansion gathered a sea of businessmen.

"Lord Mo!"

"Ink Sacrifice Wine!"

………………

When Murton entered the Taishou Mansion, famous businessmen came forward one after another, greeting each other enthusiastically, some climbing to make friends, and some handing over the name of their own family master.

Merton greeted all the visitors one by one and accepted the name post.

When Merton walked to the throne, all the merchants fell silent, except for the burning eyes of Merton.

"Thank you for your support, the purpose of this batch of cattle and sheep must be clear to everyone, which is to raise relief funds for the victims of the disaster in Shandong." Morton said in a low tone,

All the merchants could not help frowning, they had come for profit, and Merton had told them about disaster, which was not in line with their plan!

Looking at the reactions of the merchants, Merton had already expected it, and couldn't help but change his words: "So the purpose of the imperial court is to sell these cattle and sheep as soon as possible to raise money, with small profits and quick turnover, and the price is naturally not high?" ”

Merton quoted a price for the cattle, horses and sheep, and the faces of the merchants in the audience suddenly smiled, according to this price, they were indeed very profitable.

"Therefore, this sale is mainly based on volume, and each batch is at least 100 heads." Merton made one condition.

"A hundred!" A group of businessmen couldn't help frowning, this amount is a lot, once you can't make a move in time, I'm afraid it's easy to smash it in your own hands, but then again, if you can sell them all, you will naturally make more money.

The pros and cons are naturally clear to everyone, and there are many big businessmen who are suddenly excited, and many small businessmen have also begun to quietly unite, ready to jointly eat the next batch of cattle and sheep.

After a whole morning, the first wave of buying and selling was finally counted.

"Five hundred horses, ten thousand cattle, and eight thousand sheep." Gao Shilian looked at the statistical results in front of him with joy and worry.

Happily, the sale of so many livestock at once, this large sum of money, can greatly relieve the financial pressure of the imperial court, the worry is that this time the most sold cattle are cattle, the largest number of sheep sold only 8,000, the highest price of horses only 500 transactions.

Merton nodded unexpectedly and said: "The demand for cattle in my Tang Dynasty is endless, and most of the cattle in Qinghai are strong cattle, which are naturally sought after." ”

Cattle can plough the land, one cow is enough to pay three adult laborers, is a symbol of a family's wealth, and the price of beef in the Tang Dynasty remains high, as long as the cattle are driven back to the Central Plains, it is naturally a profitable business.

Gao Shilian frowned and said, "But if the cattle are sold out, what if only the horses and sheep are left in the hands of the imperial court?" ”

Merton smiled slightly, looked in the direction of Chang'an City, and said with a hint of confidence: "Since we have encountered a problem here, we need the cooperation of our imperial court." ”
