Knowing that the third brother-in-law of the grassland was stabbed, Bai Gui was not at ease, and he didn't have the heart to drink and talk with Yuan Guogong anymore, so he hurried back. After dealing with the matter at hand, he rushed to the border of Zhongshan Kingdom.

At this time, he is most needed on the border side!

Although the relationship between Zhao Guo and the Zhongshan State government has been opened, the relationship with the following officials must also be handled.

When horses pass through the Zhongshan and Zhao lands, they must declare customs duties to the government. And then! but also to pay bribes to the people below. The county officials are not as good as the current management! The specific staff below, if you don't take care of it, it will also add to your blockage.

Sometimes! When you meet a greedy person with no moral bottom line, you will do this business in vain and do it for him. Even! Also lose money.

So! Whenever he dealt with the relationship between the upper echelons, Baekyu was especially worried about the villains below. Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, give gifts first. And then! took out the customs clearance documents issued by the upper echelons, and then used the upper elites to exert pressure in disguise. Generally knowledgeable people are allowed to go. Of course! It won't be so refreshing.

If you really meet an insatiable villain, only Baekyu can make a decision: kill or stay?

If it is a person who has an antagonistic relationship with the upper echelons and is a political enemy, and deliberately makes things difficult, it is naturally a disguised killing. If it's a subordinate of the upper echelons, it's just greed. So! Give face to the upper echelons and keep his life temporarily. Moreover! It also meets all his unqualified requirements. Anyway! Satisfy him first and get things done. And then through the upper level of relations, clean him up. Let him not only spit out the greedy things, but even lose his life.

What Bai Gui didn't expect was that everything went smoothly in Zhongshan Kingdom, and there were no accidents because of the stabbing of the third brother-in-law on the grassland and the conflict. The first batch of 1,000 high-quality horses for the Chu State had already been transported out of Lan Gongzi's pasture and was about to reach the border between Zhongshan and Zhao.

The thousand horses given to the State of Chu are all good-bred horses, and they were all personally selected by Uncle Wu. The horses are not very old, and they are young.

It is said to be a thousand, but in fact it is 1,200 horses. Only 1,000 horses were declared at the time of customs declaration, and the other 200 horses belonged to the substitutes. Because! Accidents may occur during the transportation of horses. So! Must be used as a supplementary number.

In fact! It is to circumvent tariffs in disguise.

The extra 200 horses are better than the good breed horses given to the Chu State. These horses were all bribed in Zhao and other small countries. Zhao had to leave some behind, and the rest was prepared for other small vassal states. Because! The state of Chu did not border the state of Zhao and had to pass through other countries. So! You have to pay bribes.

Other small countries, generally forced by the strong military pressure of the Chu State, did not dare to oppose it, nor did they dare to ask for tariffs, so they could only swallow their anger. Even! And force a smile.

And these small countries, they don't have the methods of Chu State, but there is still a way to clean you up as a businessman. Though! Bai Gui has a good relationship with the small vassal states, but you can't be too picky. So! Bai Gui took the initiative to prepare a good horse and gave it to them.

Among the two hundred horses, five thousand miles of horses were really prepared. One of them was given to Zhao Chenghou, the king of Zhao State.

Zhao Chenghou Zhao Chong said that he bought it, so he was naturally joking. Even if he gives money, Bai Gui won't take it. That's it! I want a thousand-mile horse. Of course! As a king, if you win his pleasure, he will give you much more than a thousand miles in return.

For example! He wants to embarrass you for not letting your horse pass, and you will lose more than a thousand miles of horses. Of course! Here's an analogy. If he gives you a benefit, you will get much more than a thousand miles in return. Or! What problems did you encounter to come to him, and it wasn't a king's words?

After the horse-carrying team left Lan Gongzi's pasture and entered the territory of other hereditary nobles, the speed of their march slowed down. Everything must go through the official road, not the small road. If you need to take a small road, you must declare it to the local landowner and give the money.

But! The path was laid down before the horses were transported. If it needs to be declared, it has also been declared. Other words! As long as there are no accidents, everything is fine.

Because the customs duty was paid, so! If you take the official road of Zhongshan Kingdom, no one cares. If you have a customs clearance document in your hand, take it out and light it up, and forget about the people who check the post. If you meet a nosy person, you won't show them the customs clearance documents. Even! And fighting.

These! There is no need for Bai Gui to teach it personally, the people in the caravan have experience.

Here's how horses are transported: they are enclosed one by one in a wooden frame, and then one horse is marched next to another. Five-eleven-two horses are connected together as a small detachment, and the migrant workers who escort the transport lead the first horse, or! Walk on one side and take care of the horses themselves.

Each migrant worker is responsible for at least one or two squads, that is, a dozen or twenty horses.

The horse team went up to the official road, and the 1,200 horses, plus those ridden by the administrators, made a total of nearly 1,300 horses. Riding horses, which are also not subject to customs duties, is also a way to circumvent tariffs.

Nearly 1,300 horses, plus the migrant workers who escorted them, the queue was very long. From a distance, it's spectacular.

Amazingly! These horses are very well-behaved under the training of Uncle Wu. It seems that there is no wildness on the grassland, and it is like a conformist person, one horse after another, maintaining distance and speed.

If there is a ditch ahead, the migrant workers in charge of escorting will lead the horses and slow down. The horses behind them do not know what is going on, and sometimes appear impatient and neigh, as if an emergency person is in trouble.

Naturally, the Baigui caravan would not simply transport horses, but took the opportunity to transport the goods on the grassland by the way. If it is shipped separately, it is also necessary to declare customs duties. Sandwiched in the team of transporting horses, let the horses carry them by the way, and you can avoid tariffs by killing two birds with one stone.

When they arrived at the border gate, the migrant workers from Zhongshan led the horses to the checkpoint, and the escort migrant workers from Zhao came forward to pick them up. After the handover of the two sides is completed, it will be considered clear. The people on Zhao's side transported the horses away, and the migrant workers from Zhongshan hurriedly went back to transport the next batch, and so on.

Bai Gui personally went to the checkpoint of Zhao State, did not come forward, and did not pass the pass to Zhongshan Kingdom. He hid in the carriage and watched the handover. OK! Everything went well, and he didn't have to worry about it.

After the handover, the person in charge of Zhongshan came over to report the situation to him.

"My third brother-in-law? What's the situation? Bai Gui asked uneasily.

A group of them were guarding the pasture, and he didn't say much about this small batch of horses. They said! As long as they don't move their horses, we'll do whatever we want! Transporting their horses, they turned their faces. And also! He wants to see you personally! ……”
