Chapter 243: See Blackmail Again
"Okay, I understand, what about the second one?" Xiao Ding asked with a dark face.
"The second is simple, from now on, you and I will go in and out together, whether it is economic or military, if one side has something, let the other side fully support." With so many people at once, Qin Forget couldn't wait to jump up with joy. But he still held back his excitement and said the second condition.
"It's nature, and that's what I'm here for." Xiao Ding agreed to this without thinking about it, this is something he can't ask for, and it is also mutually beneficial to both parties, and now he thinks that Qin Forget is still a little cute.
His mood relaxed slightly, and he raised the tea bowl and took a sip, but he soon knew how hateful Qin Forget was.
"Third, I want you and Lin Chao Baihe's horse farm." Qin Forget said softly.
"Poof!" Xiao Ding's tea squirted out before he could swallow it.
He knew that the horse farm was located in the north of the Chaobai River, with a radius of hundreds of miles, because several small tributaries of the Chaobai River flowed through it, and the water and grass there were extremely fat, and it was the second largest horse farm of the Xiao family. The first is the vast area north of Helin City, and it is also the place where most of the Khitan people live in Helin City.
"Haha!" Slammed the tea bowl on the table, "General Qin, you are going to cut off our roots." A mere 200,000 slaves is nothing, but it costs a little more money to buy it back, anyway, there are people on the Uighur side, and our Khitan iron cavalry has captured a lot of people. But this horse farm is the root of me and Lin, especially the root of my Xiao family, because it belongs completely to my Xiao family. Do you think I will cut off the roots of my Xiao family in order to save Helin? It's not the Xiao family's Helin, what's the use of saving it? Xiao Ding was furious, but a crazy smile appeared on his flushed face, and he looked at Qin Forget with a sneering face.
Qin Forget touched his nose in embarrassment, how could he go down with a knife and cut at someone's lifeline? However, he did not intend to give up on his hopes for a horse farm. With a horse farm, even if it is a little smaller, there will be war horses, and with war horses, there will be sharp cavalry. He has never forgotten the majesty of the cavalry on the night he killed several families in Chicheng. What's more, those war horses are also the most important strategic resources, representing endless wealth.
"The northwest of Ye County." Qin Forget lowered his price.
The horse farm in the northwest of Ye County is also good, and there are hundreds of miles in a radius, but the Chaobai River turned a corner over there and flowed back to Dajin, and the amount of water was much less, much worse than the one north of the Chaobai River. It is the third largest ranch in Helin.
"No way, the location of that ranch is too important. The one on the east side of Taihang Mountain can be considered. Xiao Ding refused again.
"Deal! However, I also want a few small pastures around Taihang Mountain. Qin Wang said briskly.
Xiao Ding thought
With Qin Wang's strength, he would definitely not agree, but he didn't expect him to be so happy this time. Thinking that the combined radius of those pastures was only a few dozen miles, and it was divided into many small pieces, and the water and grass were average, only a few clansmen lived there, so I nodded and agreed.
"Happy, the fourth condition, since I can only enter your Xiao family's carriage and freight store in Chicheng, then in the same way, you and Lin can only enter my Chicheng."
"Deal!" This time, Xiao Ding was extremely happy.
"Fifth, you and Lin's cattle, sheep, war horses, furs and other things can only be traded with me Akagi. Moreover, my tea and other goods in Chicheng will only cooperate with you and Lin, and the price of both parties will be 20% cheaper than the market price. But there is one point, I don't want to castrate war horses, cattle and sheep, this loss of your steppe people has made the Central Plains suffer losses for hundreds of years. ”
What Qin Forget said is true, the Central Plains and the grassland people have not traded with each other once or twice, but most of the war horses in exchange are docile mares, even if they are limited stallions, they have been castrated by the grassland people in advance. The grassland people are afraid that the Central Plains people will obtain high-quality horse breeds, so that they will lose their advantages in the future mutual markets and wars.
Xiao Ding pondered for a moment, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Lin and I have war horses, cattle and sheep, and furs, but on the other hand, you Chicheng don't have anything, and the general is a bit of a white wolf with empty gloves, right?" ”
"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. With such a large tea and horse market, it is impossible for me to be satisfied with just being a manager and only charging a few tolls. As soon as the tea and horse market opened, I naturally formed my own caravan. Don't forget, it's impossible for me to collect my own taxes and silver, and on the dock, I, Akagi, will always enjoy the first right to use, and you should understand the principle that the building near the water is the first to get the moon. Honestly, Mr. Xiao, you have definitely earned it in this way, who wants us to be each other's only friends? Qin Forget said proudly.
Xiao Ding pondered, the entire wharf and waterway are in the hands of others, how can people not use such convenience? Looking at it this way, I have indeed made money, and I have made a lot of money. If you receive the goods from the Central Plains at a very low price, the competitiveness will naturally be much greater, and the strength of the Xiao family will definitely rise by a few steps soon, but is there really a free lunch in the world?
"I can promise you that the stallions will not be castrated, but the number must be controlled. Because I don't dare to commit the taboo of the steppe people for a hundred years. ”
"Mr. Xiao is smart, although it is difficult to make a stallion that is not castrated, but under the heavy profit, there are still people who dare to take risks in small-scale trading, I naturally will not be satisfied with that scale, 10,000 horses a year, I think you should be able to accept it." Qin Forget said the amount that he could accept in his heart.
10,000 horses a year is still acceptable, because not all stallions are qualified breeds. Out of 10,000 stallions that have not been castrated, it is not enough to have a few hundred qualified horses
It's wrong, and then disperse to the Central Plains countries, Xiao Ding feels that it will not pose much of a threat to the Khitans.
"Okay, I've agreed to this, and the general will say your other conditions." Xiao Ding said in fear, for fear that Qin Forget would open his mouth again.
"Refreshing." Qin Forget praised and glanced at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen handed Xiao Ding a piece of paper, which was full of materials requested by Qin Wang, and the ink had not yet dried, only to see that it was written, "3 million taels of silver, 15,000 war horses, including 7,500 stallions and mares." 30,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, 5,000 pairs of full armor and weapons for cavalry, 10,000 horned bows, 200,000 arrows, 50,000 cow and sheep skins, and so on. ”
Rao is Xiao Ding was used to Qin Wang's lion opening his mouth, and he was also taken aback by the things on this list.
"General Qin, don't say you can't eat so many things, I'm afraid you won't be able to put your territory down!" Xiao Ding slapped the list on the table, and the anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, and he glared at Qin Forget and said.
"Don't let it go, don't care about Young Master Xiao, I don't know if Young Master Xiao will agree?" Qin Forget said with a smile and glanced at Wang Wen with slight appreciation.
"We and Lin have these things, but the war horses and other materials are ready to be traded with each other. The armor, bows and arrows are all on Erlang's body, otherwise I will call them here, and you will ask them for it yourself? Xiao Ding threatened in a cold voice.
"Hehe, you're threatening me?" Qin Forget was also angry, and looked at him coldly.
Looking at Qin Wang's emotionless eyes, Xiao Ding finally sighed, "Sancheng, I can agree." ”
"Eighty percent!" Qin Forget also took a step.
"Sicheng, General Qin, don't go too far!" The anger on Xiao Ding's face became stronger and stronger.
"Seventy percent." Qin Forget said calmly as if he didn't see Xiao Ding's anger.
"Fifty percent, otherwise, all transactions will be written off." Xiao Ding gritted his teeth and said viciously. He felt that his heart was dripping blood, and every time he added one percent, what flowed out of Helin was white flowers.
Qin Forget looked at Wang Wen and found that the old man smiled and nodded, knowing in his heart.
"Okay, five out of fifty, I ask these things and those young men to be delivered as soon as possible. As soon as people and things arrive, I make a statement. Qin Forget nodded in agreement.
"No problem, these things can be shipped in five days at the latest." Xiao Ding also readily agreed, "But General Qin, I also have two conditions. ”
Qin Forget raised his eyebrows, it seemed that this guy had been slaughtered by himself all along, and no other conditions had been proposed.
He didn't want to refuse, "Tell me about it!" Qin Forget said.
