When the merchants said the first condition, Guo Tian's face had changed, and the other conditions made this problem even worse, and his face immediately became gloomy, almost dripping cold.

Of course, the businessmen knew that Guo Tian would think so, and they had already known before, when they were discussing, that as long as they refused this matter, they would inevitably offend Guo Tian, but they had no choice.

Buyers of their own things, through the operation, buy low and high, gradually put the money back into operation, after measuring the long-term effect, you can accept the lower price.

But to help the imperial court transport, then no, these cattle are from the Northern Song Dynasty, they may not be able to get enough income, but they can't lose money, in addition to a part of the cost of cattle and horses, there is also a part, is to provide the necessary remuneration for personnel.

This is not without cost, people need or, need to work, and need to get paid for work, these are more reasonable, let them post money to help the court, I'm afraid his consciousness is not so high.

Let's not mention, it is only Guo Tian who leads all this, even if the head of the Guo family is here, it is also this number, but he will not be so arrogant, and will choose a series of ways to let them be paid, more reasonable, and more clear.

In addition to the cost of transportation, the quantity must also be controlled, really as Guo Tian said, if more than 20 million cattle and sheep are brought at once, not to mention these merchants, even if they have participated in the Weizhou Cattle and Horse Conference, all of them are dispatched, it is impossible to transport 20 million animals from Lingzhou to Bianliang at one time, they are even more impossible.

After repeated discussions, it was finally determined that only 800,000 could be transported at one time, and if it exceeded, even if there was money, it would not be possible to get it back, and it would take at least 2 months to go down, which was a huge risk.

"Is that what you answered me?" Guo Tian almost gritted his back molars and said.

Guo Tian is considered a gentleman, but a simple calculation will still be, Lingzhou Peace Treaty, there are about 26 million heads of livestock in the northwest, and if there are 800,000 heads at one time, aside from the ones that have been consumed, it will take at least 30 times to be able to transport them all back.

It takes 2 months at a time, which means that it takes 5 years.

In 5 years, if you still use these guys, the Privy Council and the Imperial Court will be able to gradually transport things back.

If you want to hit Han Qi, Guo Tian's purpose is to get everything back quickly, this morning, to prevent it from being borrowed by Han Qi, and to figure out how big a gap this Han Qi is in the middle.

800,000 at a time, this is completely unacceptable, in five years, Han Qi has too many ways to make up for this deficit and loophole, and then the daylily will be cold.

But what makes him even more angry is another one, a head of livestock needs 1.5 guan freight, and they think of it, this simple arithmetic, even if it is 20 million head of livestock, a 1.5 run, that is 30 million run, this money, who will pay, who can pay, not to mention the total amount, even if it is 800,000 head of livestock at a time, it is 1.2 million at a time, this money is difficult to come out.

Guo Tian said very politely, but the businessmen did not take a step back, little by little to add the cost, the staff is extremely large, they learned the previous lesson, to ensure that everyone does not have an accident, it is necessary to use a large number of manpower, with 100 animals per person is more suitable.

In the middle, it is necessary to take into account the large and small, one time to transport 800,000 heads, at least 8,000 people, when 8,000 people use two months, just these people's food costs, will exceed 50,000 yuan, not to mention the road, food, forage, and some necessary, for resting places, this is a huge to terrible input.

In the middle, although a certain amount of profit was left, it was not much, even if it was an official of the Privy Council, who had been dealing with cattle and horses for a long time, and did not experience commercial operations, they could not see these loopholes, not to mention, the profit they left behind was not large, a head of cattle was about 120-150 Wen, less than 10% of the freight income, and it was also within a reasonable range.

If Guo Tian really has the courage and uses so much money, they can also do it as a business, and they may not make much money, but they also get closer to the conservatives.

However, with their understanding of Guo Tian and even conservatives, it is impossible to come up with such courage, let alone this money.

Sure enough, when Guo Tian couldn't distinguish between them, in the end, he could only put aside this controversy and let go of this matter.

It took a lot of effort to gather such a group of businessmen from many channels, but in the end, it was still in vain, which dealt a huge blow to Guo Tian, and he couldn't turn it over for several days.

Regarding the investigation in Lingzhou, Bianliang, who has been transmitted to the conservative bigwigs, should also have the results of dealing with them.

At this juncture, another piece of news made Guo Tiantian's teeth itch, it turned out that these businessmen, who came out of them, after asking Guo Tian and nothing else, turned around and ran to Han Qi and negotiated business with Han Qi again.

The greeting of the Guo family, they dare not slack off, they come non-stop, they may not be able to bring some large things, but they can come with gold tickets, or gold and silver, businessmen, everything, you have to consider the cost, even if you come over.

What is the most in Lingzhou, cattle and horses, medicinal herbs, they may not be able to take more things, some excellent horses, or even thousands of horses, they can still be.

Although millions of horses were obtained in the Lingzhou Peace Conference, there were still a few of them of higher rank.

They each carried about 50,000 gold and silver and bills of exchange, at a price of about 800 yuan, and here they bought about 100 horses, all of which were thousands of miles of good horses.

Such a big move, of course, let Guo Tian know, Guo Tian can't do anything other than get angry.

By gathering the merchants, he found that for these merchants, there is really not much he can do, and the merchants have unceremoniously discussed business with him before, and they did not give orders as he expected, and just do what he did, which made him angry.

But no matter how angry he was, he found that there were not many places where they could deal with these merchants, even if they used the power of the Guo family, it would take a long time, and even if he oppressed these merchants, maybe Han Qi would let these merchants defect, then it would really not work.

Facing the strong Han Qi, the Guo family alone really couldn't do a lot of things, and he could almost only watch Han Qi soar into the sky.

In addition to buying horses, the merchants added a certain amount of turnover to the northwest, and these horses, to put it bluntly, were selected from the military horses.

The horses captured on the battlefield, as well as those harvested from Lingzhou, can really be picked out, and they are not suitable for continuing to be heavy cavalry horses, these horses are obviously several grades higher than ordinary horses, and they are used to sell them as ordinary horses, which is not very suitable, but heavy cavalry horses have such and such problems.

In itself, Han Qi was going to reward the meritorious generals at all levels as a reward, but the arrival of these merchants gave other solutions, selling them, the price of 800 yuan, he was very satisfied, and at the same time the gift was not much, 100 horses, there are almost 2,000 such horses, if this rumor is also released, if someone wants, they can also come and buy.

In addition to directly buying Maxima, they also talked to Han Qi about another business, they are located in Jingzhao Mansion, they are the head snake of Jingzhao Mansion, in the future, if Lingzhou develops, it is almost inevitable that they will strengthen ties with Jingzhao Mansion, some trade routes and trade routes will be densely spread on these trade roads, which will have a lot of opportunities.

Even if they don't trade directly, they will still talk about some commercial aspects, for example, pay a certain deposit and agree on some large transactions in the coming year. For example, herbs, as well as some specialties from the Western Xia side, can still be continued.

At the same time, behind them, slowly came, there were some commodities, mainly when they traded before, Han Qi told them that although the water conservancy project in Lingzhou needed materials was reduced on a large scale, but other things could continue to be traded.

These things are mainly some daily necessities, which were of course accepted by Han Qi and used to trade with the Liao State.

In such a border place as Lingzhou, a war-torn place with no resources at all, but after the fall of Western Xia, it became one of the links between Liao and Western Xia, which no one expected.

After the fall of Western Xia, it was incorporated into the Liao State, it seems that the Liao State seems to have greatly increased its strength, but the main pressure is still on the Hebei side, it is almost impossible for the Liao State to send a large army, bypassing thousands of miles, running to this side to attack, not to mention how much time it takes to detour, let's say that after capturing the northwest, the distance from Bianliang is still more than 2000 li, almost twice as high as the Hebei region.

In the environment of cold weapons, even if the Liao State is a cavalry, it cannot make a large-scale detour and attack.

This tactic, in fact, was invented by the Yuan and Meng, and in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was carried forward, and the light cavalry plus cavalry archery, on the premise of carrying less supplies, could be transferred on a large scale, and at the same time bypass some heavily guarded areas and attack the flanks.

Similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's several customs clearances, all of them bypassed the Mongolian side and then entered the customs from Shanxi.

However, the detour to Shanxi is almost twice as close as it is now, and the detour from Western Xia, even if it is the Manchu Eight Banners, it is impossible to achieve, not to mention, although the Liao army now has many cavalry, but the main force is not light cavalry, but heavy cavalry.

Only the heavy cavalry wearing armor and the powerful are the main troops on the entire battlefield, while the light cavalry is only a reconnaissance and auxiliary service, and there is not even a separate army.

In this case, the Western Xia was returned to the Liao State, and even in a certain sense, the pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty became smaller, and much smaller.

The pressure in the northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty has decreased, and so has the Liao State, if the pressure is still as great as before, even if it is silk and these things, which are worth a lot of money, it is impossible to exchange silk for horses, which is useless in the eyes of the Liao State, this is the fundamental reason for this transaction.

On the premise of not considering military pressure, it seems that the choice of the Liao and Song dynasties has become the choice of the two countries.

As long as this business continues, the pure specialties of the prairie, even if they do not count cattle and horses, are still a continuous trade route.

Not to mention, now that there is a famous blacksmith workshop, the iron tools of the Northern Song Dynasty are not only large in quantity, but also of good quality, as well as many daily necessities, which have triggered a buying frenzy in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even more so in the grassland.

Both parties have what the other party needs, and there is not too much danger, then the transaction has become an inevitable choice, these after the previous gradual trial, has begun to gradually form a trading situation, which also needs the support of domestic businessmen.

I don't know what Han Qi's future will be for the time being, but it can be said unceremoniously that with this huge credit, a series of personnel promoted by Han Qi will occupy an important position in Lingzhou and Northwest for a long time in the future.

It is difficult to be the number one, but there are many real powers below, as well as officials at the bottom, there is no problem.

It took so much effort to develop in Lingzhou and the northwest, and it would not work at all to give up in vain.

This kind of thing is a protégé and an old official, in an era like the Northern Song Dynasty that is relatively controlled by these, there is no prohibition on a first assistant, simply he has a huge power in the position of the first assistant, it is impossible to imagine.

Fan Zhongyan was able to erect Zhang Dexiang, and it was impossible for him to do it alone, and it was also with the help of Han Qi Fubi, such a large number of young and energetic young officials.

Civil officials have the path taken by civil officials, and the difference between military generals is that this kind of nepotism can be recognized by the imperial court, this is not a partisan, but a bond of mutual interests, Han Qi has a huge influence on Lingzhou for a long time,

A place with strong strength and good development, as well as trade routes and animal husbandry, which merchant would let go, not to mention that it is inappropriate to bring back tens of millions of livestock, even if they can have a way to bring them all back, they will not make such a choice.

A farce ended like this, these officials, in fact, are still unwilling, but they have also thought about the positive and negative sides, and they have never thought of a good way to think that for them, there are some things that are a little too far away from them.

This trip to the northwest seems to be a meritorious journey, but in fact, many of them have reached the end of their careers, Zhou Heju is one of them, he will take the initiative to seek decentralization, let alone promotion, even if it is very difficult to maintain the current level, it may be the states and counties in the remote areas of the south, and it is almost impossible to return to the center.

Among them, the one who touched the most was officials with backgrounds like Guo Tian.

It seems that these officials with backgrounds, their origins, their status, are far higher than these merchants, but they are not the heads of the family, perhaps the merchants, be polite to them, but let the merchants spend a huge price to complete their ideas, which is impossible, and the merchants are not obliged to do so.

Especially when they saw Han Qi and discussed the business arrangements for next year, and one by one they obtained huge profits that could be expected, these businessmen almost did not hesitate to sell Guo Tian and the Guo family.

The businessman led by him specially communicated with Guo Tian, as well as Guo Tian's orders, and what Guo Tian was going to do, and explained it clearly to Han Qi in 1510.

Han Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard their content.

These young guys are really unwilling, it seems that they are not small, but unfortunately they have used their strength in the wrong place.

Fortunately, things are stable, if you really use a lot of money, or even on the premise of losing part of your strength, to get these cattle and horses back, for him, it can't be regarded as hurting your muscles and bones, but it's not comfortable.

If he wants to attract immigrants to come and cultivate the land on a large scale, it is almost inevitable that he will use a large scale of ploughing cattle, and if he hands over all the things that are in the Lingzhou Peace Conference, and replaces them in the middle, and even gets out the money spent on the northwest water conservancy project, there will be a certain shortfall.

Maybe he can trade with Liao through urgent needs, or through merchants, make loans or some kind of capital operation method, it is not impossible to plug this gap, but what is the use.

What Han Qi wants is that agriculture and animal husbandry are two legs, once these livestock leave Lingzhou, Lingzhou will not even have a foundation, and the pastures that are being built now will completely become decorations.

Perhaps, if you have enough food in Lingzhou, you can reopen these pastures with a slow exchange, so what does it have to do with his Han Qi after they are opened.

Of course, he will not move the number of Lingzhou peace talks, but with the current foundation for the development of animal husbandry, he knows very well that when three years later, or five years later, after the gradual delivery of the cattle and sheep of the Lingzhou peace talks, Lingzhou will not only not reduce, but will have more cattle and sheep.

This is a wealth left by Han Qi for Lingzhou, 5 years, five years of buffer, using these cattle and sheep to breed an advantageous industry belonging to Lingzhou, and even as Zhao Xin once said, deep processing, of course, he doesn't understand what deep processing is, but the clan is a profitable business.

In Han Qi's view, this is the best way to deal with the peace of Lingzhou, the entire Northern Song Dynasty land, there is really not much land, can be with Lingzhou must be beautiful, vast land, rich grassland, and some foundations, such as wood, such as some other supporting facilities.

Dispel their thoughts, this is the best, since they have all converged and have not continued, he will not take advantage of the victory to pursue, it is not a good thing to really rely on this to overwhelm them, even if he wins, he will always fall into the name of bullying the small.
