Chapter 105: Shang Shengbai Gui sells horses
After learning what happened, Bai Gui was relieved.
Bai Mei, the eldest daughter of Bai Gui's predecessors, is probably fine. In his memory, Bai Mei in the TV series also married Wei Ying and had children, which also proved that Bai Mei was fine.
Furthermore! In the last assassination incident, Wei Jun thought that Bai Gui was dead, so he would not do anything to Bai Mei.
After all! Wei Jun's persecution of Bai Gui has not yet been made public. Although he did everything, he didn't make it public. On the surface! He still cares about Bai Mei very much.
When Bai Gui was an official, he also took Bai Mei to see Wei Jun. At that time, Wei Jun liked Baimei very much, and he wanted to make her his goddaughter.
According to Bai Gui's judgment, Wei Jun had a big deal to arrest Bai Mei in, and first scared her. And then! Wei Jun personally came forward and coaxed her to tell her the whereabouts of Wei Ying. Or! Trick the guard back to come back.
If Bai Mei doesn't admit it, saying that she doesn't know Wei Ying's whereabouts, why don't you forget it? Isn't it? Wei Ying didn't make a mistake in the Wei State, but Uncle Gong said that he might affect his hegemony in the future.
"What will be" is an imaginary consequence and cannot be used as evidence of guilt. So! Even if you want to kill Wei Ying, you can only kill it secretly. Or! Temporarily set up a crime, and if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, isn't it?
"White officials? Is the eldest lady really okay? The guard asked, still uneasy.
"As long as you don't send back the news of my fake death, Wei Jun thinks that I am really dead, and I shouldn't do anything to Mei'er!"
"This?" The guards were too scared to do it. He also doesn't know: Has the news of Bai Guanren's fake death been stabbed out?
"You go back first! Remember! If the eldest lady comes back safely, take her away quickly. lest Wei Jun regret it and have another incident! ”
"That? That? What if the eldest lady comes back safely? We? Where do we take her to hide? ”
"Mt. Kuo!"
"Mt. Kunshan?"
"Find a place in the mountains and live in seclusion! Go back! Bai Gui commanded.
"Yes! White officials! The guards and their four entourages didn't take a sip of water, and turned around and went back to Wei.
On the surface, Bai Gui understated it, and after sending away the guards, he was still in a hurry.
In the heart of Bai Gui's seniors, he likes this eldest daughter Bai Mei very much. Because! He and Bai Mei's mother are free to fall in love and have a deep emotional foundation. It's a pity that Baimei's mother was blessed and killed before she had time to enjoy life. Therefore! Baekyu's seniors have always felt guilty in their hearts.
If he doesn't toss, doesn't do business, and isn't so rich, his beloved wife won't be framed.
So! After learning that Bai Mei had an accident, Bai Gui's consciousness is very active.
"White senior! Since I have occupied this body, I will definitely take care of your family and everyone! Bai Gui was ruthless in his heart and assured Bai Gui's seniors.
Getting rid of Bai Mei's emotion, Bai Gui, who calmed down, began to think about a more important question again. That is: how can you sell so many horses for a good price?
Originally, he planned to buy a thousand grassland horses for the Chu State, but he didn't plan to buy so many.
The previous plan was: if you want to transport a thousand horses to the Chu State, you must prepare two thousand or more horses. The thousand horses given to the state of Chu cannot be missing and cannot be moved. For other horses, it is used to pay the road tax.
You have passed through the territory of Zhao State, and you don't have taxes for hundreds of horses, and Zhao State will not let you live. If you go from Zhao to Weiguo, and then from Weiguo to Song, no matter which route you take or which countries you pass through, you must send a few "thousand-mile horses" and dozens or dozens of high-quality horses. Otherwise! People will never let you live.
To know! During the Warring States period, in this era of cold weapons, the role of horses was conceivable. Without absolute diplomatic relations as a basis, you simply can't do the horse business.
The horse business is generally a combination of government and business, ostensibly businessmen collude with high-ranking officials to let them pass the customs, and it is businessmen who sell horses for profit. In fact! The merchant is just an errand runner! Without official instructions and support, there is no way to do this business.
This time, Bai Gui's predecessors sold horses to Chu State, which was for Chu State to expand its army.
The state of Chu was in the south of the Great Zhou, probably due to the climate, and was not adapted to the growth of horses. So! The state of Chu is in the cavalry, but it can't do the vassal states in the north.
So! If you want to win your opponent on the battlefield and in cavalry, you must replenish new horses every year. And! It is also necessary to mate the newly purchased good breed horses with the mare to give birth to high-quality ponies. If new breeds of horses are not added for breeding, the quality of Chu horses will decline.
It was for this reason that Bai Gui's predecessors accepted this task and introduced a thousand good horses for the state of Chu. Whether it is a stallion or a mare, it is important for the state of Chu.
Bai Gui's predecessors had a wife in the Chu State, and his wife was a member of the royal family, and according to his generation, he was still a princess. It's just that! The princess of the side branch, the princess who was used. Furthermore! Bai Gui's predecessor's wife and children were indirectly "placed under house arrest" by the magnates of Chu State, and you have to do whatever people want you to do.
But! Although he was blackmailed. But! The profits are substantial! As long as you let the Chu State achieve its goal and introduce a thousand high-quality horses, the reward will not be your lion's mouth?
If people don't give me this price, I can't do this business. It's useless for you to kill me! In these days, you can't do anything without money.
If you don't turn your face? You are an aunt and a colt. So! If you want a market price, the Chu side will give it. Sometimes! The market price is very expensive, and the average person cannot afford to sell the horse.
As a merchant saint like Bai Gui, he is not just for the sale of horses, a business. The bribes made for the horse traders are actually paving the way for the next business. As long as the relationship is opened up and done well, it will be convenient in the future.
The original plan was to sell three to five thousand horses to Da Zhou, and it turned out! This trip to the prairie brought 135,000 horses.
If the number is small, he has it in his own ranch in Zhongshan Kingdom. But the amount was too big for him to take. Take out three or five thousand horses at once, and you will have to go to the prairie, or! Work with the merchants above Yinshan Town and let them help you.
This is not? After marrying Snow Lotus, he ran to the prairie.
Horse! For the various vassal states of the Great Zhou, they are all needed. But! Horses are strategic goods, which are equivalent to the arms competition in modern society. If your country openly buys a large number of war horses, it will indicate which country you want to use force against. If you can't stop someone else from buying a war horse, then! I had to buy a lot of it. Therefore! An arms race is formed.
So! In the memory of Baigui fusion, there is a good way to sell horses.
If there was an arms race between the vassal states, the number of horses would increase dramatically. So? His thirteen and five thousand horses were not enough to sell. Another 350,000 grassland horses can be sold.
Isn't that the truth?
