Chapter 57: One More Hundred Horses for You
In March, the weather is getting warmer.
Just when Li Yuanjia was urging Han Cheng and them to speed up the production of glass every day, and strive to replace all the rooms they often stayed in with the family with glass windows as soon as possible, thousands of miles away in the north, Bahari was already ready to leave for the south.
Sixty fine war horses, and countless cowhides and sheepskins, all of them had been put into order.
"Whoop......"
The war horse under the crotch snorted, and Bahari, who was sitting on the horse, patted the horse's head, and his heart was almost proud to fly.
The horse under his crotch is definitely Xue Yantuo's top war horse!
It's just on this northern prairie, if you send it to Chang'an or Luoyang, and show it to those bigwigs or the second generation of officials, it will be at least a price of 1,500 yuan! If you meet one or two guys who love horses like crazy, Bahari is even confident that he can sell for 3,000 yuan!
But now, the horse is his mount.
As long as he thinks of sitting under his buttocks, Bahari is not only cool in his heart, but he can't wait to ride it outside Chang'an City immediately, so that the second generation of officials who are whistling there every day will be greedy.
But before Bahari could feel good enough in his heart, he heard the sound of the hoofs of a well-won horse approaching from the west, and then he saw a knight riding up to him, and proudly exclaimed, "Who is Bahari among you?" ”
"Huh? The smaller one is Bahari! ”
After seeing the comer, Bahari felt a sigh in his heart, and quickly dismounted and owed.
He knew the appearance of this person, and he remembered it very deeply, at first glance he was the Khan's personal guard, and he was the strongest and fiercest one!
"Huh? You are Bahari? ”
The guard, who had seen Bahari twice, glanced at him, and soon a pair of small eyes widened to the extreme: "Bastard, how can Bahari be so fat as you?" If you dare to lie to me......"
"General, General! I really am Bahari! ”
As soon as he saw the guard stretching out his hand as if he was about to draw a knife, Bahari suddenly trembled, and he was almost scared to pee, so he hurriedly shouted with a bitter face: "It's just a winter delicious and delicious food, and I've gained twenty pounds...... But General, the little one is really Bahari! ”
“……”
After riding around Bahari twice, the guard tried his best to recall the appearance of Bahari in his memory, and finally nodded and said with a smile: "Tsk, it's really you!" I didn't expect to be fat like this after not seeing each other for two or three months...... Alright, follow me to the Khan! ”
"Yes, the little one will go with the general!"
Glancing at a servant beside him, and whispering to him to take care of the caravan, Bahari picked up the hem of his clothes and planned to run out with the guard's horse.
But before he could run two steps, he heard the guard cry out in surprise, "Stop, what are you doing here?" ”
"Uh...... General, aren't you going to see the Khan? ”
Blinking vigorously with a pair of small eyes, Bahari's face was blank.
After hearing his words, the guards were simply amused: "The Khan's big tent is ten miles away, so you plan to run over like this?" Fool, don't hurry up and get on the horse! ”
“…… Yes, yes, the little one is on the horse! ”
After being stunned for a moment, Bahari was overjoyed, and quickly remounted his good horses, and galloped away with the guard to the west.
The tall horse trotted away, and Bahari's face blossomed with joy.
Go on horseback!
Bahari has never forgotten the scene a few months ago, but he ran from his tent to Yinan's tent. And the little guys under his hand worked even harder, everyone was carrying a big box, and when they finally came back, they were all tired and paralyzed.
As a result, it turned out that today it was possible to ride a horse, and it could be ridden all the way to the front of the Yi Nan tent?
This face is bigger!
Although Xue Yantuo's generals all have this power, for ordinary merchants, especially foreign merchants like Xiang Bahari, how many are qualified to ride horses to the front of the tent?
You can count it with a slap!
So after entering the big tent, Bahari walked in front of Yi Nan with his head down, and leaned down with excitement: "Little Bahari, I have seen the great Khan!" ”
"Haha, get up!"
Yi Nan seemed to be in a very good mood today, and he didn't let Bahari lie on the ground all the time like last time, but let him stand up as soon as possible.
And after finally having the courage to look up at the other party, Bahari's mood instantly became more relaxed.
With a smile on his face, he looks like he's in a good mood!
And what made Bahari even more surprised and ecstatic was that Yi Nan even brought a small pier and let him sit down on the side!
Oh my God!
What's going on here?
But after the ecstasy, Bahari suddenly became a little uneasy.
Today's Yinan Khan is really abnormal.
Anyway, in Bahari's opinion, the arrogant and rough guard just now was a normal operation, and he looked down on them as merchants. And when you get to Yi Nan, if you can let yourself kneel for a while, it will already be extra gracious.
He came up and gave him a seat......
I have to say that Bahari is a little empty in his heart.
Fortunately, Yinan Khan didn't make him nervous for too long, and soon asked with a smile: "Bahari, I heard that you are going south?" Do you have enough goods? ”
Blinking his eyes, Bahari hurriedly replied, "Back to the king, we are going to leave today!" The goods brought quite a few, mainly sixty horses and some cowhides and sheepskins...... You also know that the Tang Dynasty is rich in property, and other things are not very lacking, except for war horses and cattle and sheepskins. ”
"Well, this one does."
As the Khan of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan naturally knew this, and nodded with a smile: "But you only have sixty war horses, do you bring less?" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Yi Nan's words, Bahari was stunned for a moment.
Sixty horses......
Less?
Isn't this?!
Datang is short of horses, no matter how much it is transported, it can be sold, if it can, Bahari is of course willing to bring more, preferably six hundred! It's just that just as Datang has always controlled the output of salt and iron to the grassland, the grassland will not easily sell war horses to Datang! Moreover, the war horse is already very expensive, how many horses can he afford even if he Bahari is bankrupt?
So the words of Yinan Khan really made him a little confused for a while.
However, even if he didn't understand, he didn't dare not answer, so he could only laugh dryly: "If you go back to the Khan, the little one wants to take some war horses south, but it's just ...... The Khan's war horses here are precious, and the small ones can't afford too much. ”
"Haha, this matter is easy!"
Under Bahari's gaze, which gradually became a little frightened, Yi Nan suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, I will let someone give you another hundred horses, and you will take them to Datang to sell together." But when I come back in the second half of the year, bring me ten jars of that spirit, and then bring as much of that kind as you can called tea......8)
