Chapter 484: Horse Dealer 'Eli'
"You are the shopkeeper Ji, the owner of Yantian Ranch?" Hou Junji sat on horseback, condescendingly looking at Ji He with a scar on his face, and a rather familiar feeling emerged in his heart, as if he had seen this owner surnamed Ji somewhere. {First Reading}
"It's the villain," Li Jihe humbly bent over and stood in front of Hou Junji's horse, under Hou Junji's fierce gaze, he was not afraid, and he always had a faint smile on his face that a businessman should have, but the smile on his face looked a little hideous.
"Is this your horse?" Skipping his gaze over Li Jihe's figure, Hou Junji pointed to the fifteen millet horses behind Li Jihe that looked very strong, and asked Li Jihe softly.
"Yet," Li Jihe stepped aside, glanced back at the Eli horse he brought, and said to Hou Junji: "These horses are all raised by the trumpet Yan Tian pasture," pulled one casually, Li Jihe raised his hand and patted the horse's back and limbs, and then said: "The physique is tall, the structure is well-proportioned, the head is small and flexible, the eyes are wide, the head and neck are high, and the limbs are strong, whether it is used to form a light horse or a heavy horse, it is enough to do it." ”
"Shopkeeper Ji," Hou Junji jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the remnant sword at his side, walked to Li Jihe's side, raised his hand and pressed it lightly on the horse's back, seeing that the horse's limbs were tight and steady, without any signs of bending and moving, he couldn't help laughing, glanced at Li Jihe, and said: "Horse, it's a good horse, but Shopkeeper Ji said that this horse was bred by your Yantian pasture, some are not true, right?" ”
Remove your arms from the horse. Hou Junji said softly to Li Jihe: "Although the old man is a rough man, he still has some superficial understanding of these horses. Why did this Elima, when did she settle in your Yantian Ranch? ”
"The old general's eyes. Li Jihe's face remained unchanged, in fact, he never felt that the origin of these horses could hide from Hou Junji's eyes. When he was in the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji was famous for his love of horses, and in one of his military departments alone, there were more than 20 horses of all kinds, including one or two Yili horses, which is not surprising.
"However, General Hou may not know yet. This Elima. Now there is more than the Wusun Kingdom," Li Jihe's tone changed, and he said to Hou Junji with a smile: "Our Yantian Ranch also has the ability to raise them. This time, the villain came to ask the old general, do you want to have a light cavalry or heavy cavalry built entirely by Elima? ”
"Huh? Do you Yantian Ranch have this ability? Shocked by Li Jihe's question, Hou Junjidi's expression changed somewhat.
He knew Elima, and he knew one of Elima's characteristics. Balance, whether it's size, weight, weight, or stamina. Prance. And so on and so forth, all with an amazing balance. In fact, the reason why Hou Junji remembered this horse whose overall quality was not very outstanding was because of its such a characteristic, and he had thought more than once that if he could have thousands of such a herd of Yili horses, he would definitely be able to create an invincible subway to ride.
It's just a pity that Elima has always been strictly restricted by the Wusun Kingdom, and few of them can be exiled outside, and if they want to use them to form a cavalry, except for the Wusun Empire, they don't even have to think about it in other places. Therefore, this cannot but be said to be a big regret of Hou Junji.
But now, Li Jihe came to Gaochang from afar and painted him a very big and round painting cake, which made him silent for a long time, and then came alive again, and saw some hope.
Perhaps, Hou Junji looked up at Li Jihe and the dozen or so Eli horses behind him, and thought in his heart: They can really do it or not
"If Yan Tian Ranch doesn't succeed, Ji wouldn't dare to come here today to disturb General Hou, right?" Seeing Hou Junji's intentions, Li Jihe couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and he spoke a lot more easily, bowed to Hou Junji's side, stretched out two fingers, and whispered to Hou Junji: "Within two years, our Yantian Ranch will be able to breed a group of horses that are even more outstanding and strong than these war horses!" ”
"This time, Ji came over, just to say hello to General Hou first, and leave a font number here with General Hou, when the time comes, as long as General Hou can afford the price, General Hou wants as much as he wants, Ji can find it for the general. {First Reading}" As he spoke, Li Jihe carefully paid attention to Hou Junji's face, turned around and pointed to the horses behind him, and said, "These fifteen strong Eli horses are the sincerity that Ji brought this time." ”
"Oh? Do you have to wait two years? Seeing that Li Jihe was so determined, Hou Junji was also interested, glanced at Li Jihe with interest, turned over and jumped on the back of a horse, carried the reins back and forth to measure the horse's endurance and sensitivity, and asked Li Jihe: "I don't know how much the horses here are worth in Ji's shopkeeper?" ”
"One hundred and fifty gold, there is no two prices!" Li Jihe did not hesitate to quote the bid, straightened up, and said to Hou Junji quite confidently: "Don't hide that General Hou knows, before coming to the general, Ji Mou was in Datang, and he had signed a number of agreements with the government army of Datang. ”
Seeing that Hou Junji's face was different and vigilant, Li Jihe continued: "Ji knows that Hou Jun is confused, with tens of thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty to support him, why does Ji take such a big risk again, right?" Li Jihe smiled slightly and said: "Ji is a businessman, he has never thought that he has a lot of money, and in Ji's eyes, there is no national boundary, where there is money to be made, Ji will go wherever he comes, this time he came to find General Hou, just to earn more money." ”
Li Jihe said it very bluntly, and the price quoted was more expensive than that of Datang, but it was precisely because of this that he was able to win Hou Junji's trust.
Disdain, disdain, this is the expression on Hou Junji's face after listening to Li Jihe's words. Although he is no longer a general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is no longer even a subject of the Tang Dynasty, this does not affect Hou Junji's disdain for businessmen like Li Jihe.
Merchants seek profit, but if every merchant is like this lord of the field, without a bit of national righteousness, that country will not be far from destruction.
"Shopkeeper Ji is a straightforward person, Hou admires it!" Although he looked down on him in his heart, but now, such a person is extremely beneficial to him, so Hou Junji jumped off the war horse with his legs, smiled and saluted Li Jihe, and asked Li Jihe: "Shopkeeper Ji, please go to the handsome account with Hou to discuss in detail!" ”
It's done!
Seeing Hou Junji's attitude towards himself, Li Jihe knew that the purpose of his coming this time was already settled, and this Hou master seemed to have believed his words.
Bending over and walking lightly, Xiao followed behind Hou Junji and the remnant sword, Li Jihe followed them all the way into the barracks, and reached the tent where Hou Junji was, as for the fifteen Yili Jian horses he brought, they were led by the soldiers in the army.
There is a shortage of horses in the army, and on the way into the barracks, Li Jihe only saw hundreds of old horses in a grass hut similar to a stable, and then thought of the soldiers who had just received the fifteen Eli horses, and the excited expressions on their faces when they saw those horses all made Li Jihe come to the conclusion that there was a shortage of war horses in their army.
No wonder Hou Junji, as well as the soldiers who guarded the camp just now, would be so polite to himself, Li Jihe's eyes surged with an inexplicable smile, knowing that Hou Junji was not doing well in this Gaochang country, and the sound silver in the army was afraid that there were many and too many shortcomings, otherwise even if good horses could not be bought, some bad horses could still be bought.
"Shopkeeper Ji, please take a seat!" In the handsome tent, Hou Junji sat firmly, the remnant sword stood upright behind him, Hou Junji looked at Li Jihe who was still standing in the tent, waved at him and said softly, and deliberately handed tea to Li Jihe.
"War horse, Hou wants it, and the more the merrier!" After Li Jihe sat down, Hou Junji got straight to the point and said, "But at this price, is the shopkeeper Ji too high?" One hundred and fifty gold, it is really not something that Hou can pay. Not only Hou Mou, such a high price, it is estimated that no one in the countries of the Western Regions can eat it. Shopkeeper Ji is a real businessman, and he won't be unable to see these situations at all, right? ”
"Oh?" Li Jihe raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Hou Junji: "Then according to General Hou's wishes, how much should the price of this Eli horse be?" ”
Although the words of the two prices just now were neat and clear, but it was just a common trick of many businessmen, since he was willing to follow Hou Junji into the handsome account, it means that there is still a lot of room for slow turn.
"Eighty gold!" Hou Junji brushed nearly half of it in one go, and said, "The old man needs eight thousand rides!" If you can send the horses to Hou within a year, it will be a hundred gold, and it is useless. I don't know what the shopkeeper thinks? "A basket, it's a bit of a collapse, the update may be a little delayed, but there will be updates every day, and Lao Liu will try his best to keep two chapters a day, thank you for your support, and I wish my brothers a happy new year in advance!!
