Since you can get it back, what are you worried about? Besides, horses are not a rarity, and they are everywhere in the pastures.

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately stepped forward and asked for a deal.

Almost all of the people who came out of the city were acquaintances who knew each other, and one person stepped forward, and the others followed, all wanting to exchange some of their horses for a try.

The trade of horses for spices soon began on the coast, with packaged spices in one hand and horses with reins in the other, directly traded on the spot.

The first batch of people who came to the coast had not finished trading, and the second group of people who chased them out of the city came to the coast again, and several more batches came one after another, some to see the excitement, and some to change spices.

For a while, the empty coast was crowded with people, talking and shouting, and for thousands of years, it has never been so lively as it is today.

The trade continued until dusk, and the people who watched the bustle and made the trade reluctantly returned, and before leaving, almost all asked if the fleet would still be here tomorrow?

The answer, of course, is yes.

The soldiers of the escort army directly told them that the fleet would stay here for two months, and if they wanted to change the spices, they would come and change it quickly, and if the wind and snow came, they would not want the cattle and horses that froze to death.

When they left, the fleet counted the results of the transaction and obtained a total of sixty-seven horses, which made Yang Congyi and Shen Jin very happy.

Among the more than 60 horses, almost all of them are high-class horses, and there are only a few medium-class horses, after all, people who can live in the city will definitely not have a bad family background, the pasture and pasture will definitely not be small, and the horses used for weekday travel will not be bad.

The price of any high-class horse in the Great Song Dynasty is tens of thousands of yuan, and it can even be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and these more than 60 horses can make a lot of money when they are transported back to Lin'an.

The transaction here is much easier than Dengzhou and Yidu Fu, and the harvest in half a day is worth more than half a month's work, and it is definitely a wise choice to go north to Liaodong Bay.

Tasting the sweetness, Yang Congyi and Shen Jin discussed overnight, changed the trading plan, and decided to continue to promote this promotion model to the north, and send people to Liaoyang Mansion from tomorrow to directly promote spices in Liaoyang, Tokyo, which should be the most prosperous place in the entire eastern Liaodong, where there are powerful and businessmen, and spice trading should be easier.

Liaoyang Mansion is very important in the whole Liaodong, occupying the main passage from Yanjing to Jinguo Shangjing, the magnates and big families don't know how many, they have countless cattle, sheep and horses in their hands, if you can have a good relationship with them, replace a large number, it will not be a problem at all, and you don't even have to worry about the future transaction of the fleet in the north.

However, Liaoyang Mansion is in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, three or four hundred miles away from the coast where the fleet docks, Yang Congyi and Shen Jin, as the imperial court officials of the Great Song Dynasty, if they go deep into the Jin Kingdom and expose their identities, they will be in great trouble, and they are likely to be directly detained, and no matter what happens between the two countries, the two of them will definitely not be able to afford it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yang Congyi did not agree to Shen Jin's proposal to take the initiative to invite Ying to Liaoyang, but openly recruited a team in the fleet, and if he could complete the spice promotion task, he would be directly awarded the rank of general!

Whether it is an elite army or an escort army, anyone is afraid of going deep into the enemy country, and once defeated, there will be no bones left.

But once the reward for the rank of general of the ministry is taken out, the situation is different, ordinary soldiers or fire teams, captains, if they want to obtain the rank of general of the department, in addition to fighting and making meritorious contributions, there is no other way to be promoted, and now there is no war to fight, even if there is a battle, to be promoted to a general, it is impossible to win only three or five battles

Therefore, this department will offer a reward, which is a great opportunity for promotion for everyone, and as soon as the news came out, many people signed up to respond.

But the promotion of spices in Liaoyang does not only rely on courage, but also wisdom, speech, and astuteness are equally important.

In the end, Yang Congyi and Shen Jin communicated one-on-one face-to-face, and selected two people as team leaders among the soldiers, fire captains, and captains who signed up to go north, one is one and one pair, and they led a ten-person team to Liaoyang to expand the influence of spices in Liaodong.

After the list was determined, Yang Congyi led the team to prepare carefully for three days, listing the situations they might encounter in Liaoyang one by one, and coming up with a response plan.

Prepared for everything, the team set off with spices.

At the same time, the trade between the fleet and the people of Chenzhou continued, and the influence of spices gradually expanded, and on the fifth day, the trading volume began to explode.

A large number of cattle and horses rushed to the shore from the pastures where the aquatic grass began to wither, and looking down from the boat, all kinds of cattle and horses converged together, black, white, yellow, and brown, and the people who watched were dazzled, and the number was staggering.

The fleet's trading on the coast was even busier, whether it was the elite army or the escort army, all of them were engaged in the transaction, and there was no idler to be seen, even Meng Yunniang personally went down to count the delivery of spices, even if she was smoked by the smell of cattle and horses, she didn't dare to gasp, and she didn't turn around and return to the ship.

At the end of the day, the cattle and horses were filled with eight seagoing ships, leaving two ships of spices and two empty ships.

The trade could not continue, otherwise they would have to put the cattle and horses on the shore.

As far as they know, horses are things that are strictly forbidden to be shipped to the Great Song Dynasty in the Jin Kingdom, and several farms in the Huaihe River area are difficult to buy good horses even if they spend high prices and trust relationships, even if they are old and frail, they can not buy them if they want to.

They never thought that the trade of horses, cattle and sheep in Chenzhou was not restricted at all.

In fact, no one could have imagined that the border between the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty was in the Huai River area, from Yanjing to the Huai River for thousands of miles, if you don't want the horses to go south, they can set up checkpoints in any place, it will be difficult for the horses to go south, if you set up a few more checkpoints along the way, it is impossible for the horses to go south. And because the shipping in the north is not developed, a large number of horses can only go south by land, it is impossible to hide their traces, for the Jin court, they only need to strictly check the Yellow River, and even set up checkpoints in the Bianjing area, they can completely block the way of horses to the south.

Therefore, for them, the order prohibiting horses from going south only needs to be carried out south of Bianjing, and there is no need to enforce it in the area of Yanjing, let alone the distant Liaodong region.

The ship was almost full, and if the trade continued, these cattle and horses could not be brought back, so they began to trade in limited quantities.

At the same time, after discussion, it was decided that Shen Jin would personally lead the team to send all the cattle and horses back to the camp on Qindao and put them on a nearby desert island first.

The fleet set sail day and night, and soon returned to the vicinity of Chin Island, where they drove all eight ships of cattle and horses to the northernmost island, to which the majority of the people were to leave their territory to them.

After that, only two sea ships were left in the camp on Chin Island, and nine empty ships quickly headed north and returned to the vicinity of Chenzhou.

The few empty ships left in Chenzhou had already been filled with cattle and horses, and the hesitating cattle and horses had nowhere to put them, and the trade had been suspended, and when Shen Jin returned with the empty fleet, the trade of spices for cattle and horses continued.

After a day of hot trading, it finally showed a weak trend, and there were no extra cattle and horses in the Chenzhou area.

Almost at the same time, good news came back from Liaoyang, the promotion of spices is going well, there are already five or six businessmen who are interested in coming to trade, are gathering cattle and horses, and it is expected to be able to arrive in Chenzhou in half a month, which is said to be huge.

In addition, they also heard the news that according to the locals, according to past experience, there will be heavy snowstorms this winter, and it is estimated that the snow will be several feet deep.

The trade is so hot, perhaps because they have this concern, the north is frequent, the cattle and sheep and horses in the hands of the big households are innumerable, rather than freezing to death and rotting in the wind and snow, it is better to take out and exchange for something that can be placed, valuable, and easy to carry, and the spices that are as expensive as gold are the things that the big households want the most.

With spices, they can be exchanged for gold, they can be exchanged for grain, and even anything.

Why do they believe so much in something like this that has never been seen before?

One is that it is really useful, with spices, the food is more delicious, for the rich, they do not pursue much, the most common is to eat well, play well, spices can make them eat well, so spices are valuable to them.

Second, someone had already brought spices to Liaoyang Mansion for the first time, and many people were asked to identify them, but in the end, no one recognized any of the spices. Liaoyang is the Tokyo of the Golden Country, and there are countless dignitaries and dignitaries, and what they have never seen must be very rare and precious, and rare things can be exchanged for anything, which is equivalent to gold and silver.

For these two reasons, there is no reason for the people of Chenzhou not to pursue spices, not to mention that once the fleet leaves, it will be difficult to change to spices.

Therefore, the Chenzhou people who got the first opportunity to trade will trade out the cattle and horses available in their hands.

Among them, the nimble people also have their own calculations, since the spices are so precious, why not hoard them wantonly, and wait for the fleet to leave, and other people who are aware of the fact that they can only change the spices from their hands, and how to change them when the time comes, they have the final say, even if one or two spices cost three cows, they are not afraid that no one will change them, because cows can eat grass and grow, but spices cannot.

After the crazy Chenzhou people finished trading, several big businessmen in Liaoyang Prefecture rushed to Chenzhou with a large number of cattle and horses, and quickly started trading with the fleet.

The cattle and horses are counted directly, and then the number is checked, and the delivery is completed as quickly as possible, because there are too many cattle and horses on the shore.

In two days, five ships were filled.

In five days, ten ships were filled.

In less than seven days, cattle and horses filled all the sea ships, and even the Shenzhou was loaded with hundreds of horses.

So the fleet immediately announced that the trade of spices for cattle and horses was over, and the remaining spices were to be purchased with gold and silver, and the time limit was only five days, and the trade was concluded as soon as the fleet left.

The big men with their cattle and horses waiting for the trade were distressed, and no matter how many nice things they said, the fleet could no longer trade with them, because the ships were full, and they could not conjure up more ships.
