Cai Dao asked at the little minion: "By the way, did a few masters send you over?" Did they ask you to pick me up? ”

"No, after a few masters got the report, they settled the two groups of guests separately, and after that, they were in the Juyi Hall, presumably several masters are still there to continue to discuss this matter! The little one just heard the news, and I'll report to you right away. The little minion said flatteringly. Ah! Thank you Daochang Cai for your reminder, I am this stinky mouth and loves to cause trouble. ”

Cai Dao saw the appearance of this little minion, and knew that this kid was a money fan, after hearing Cai Dao's identity, he actually didn't want to be rich and rich, but just wanted to stay by his side and get a little bit of immortality.

"That's it! After you go back, reflect on it, if you can't control your broken mouth in the future, even if you have a lot of money, you will only end up ruined. Cai Dao was also a little impatient to send this little minion away, and by the way, he also pointed him out.

As soon as this little minion wanted to leave, Cai Dao suddenly stopped him again, and whispered in his ear: "You wait for a while, I'll write a letter now, and you immediately hand over this letter to Cai Junshi." You must remember that no one is allowed to peek at the contents of this letter until it is handed over to the military advisor. After he finished speaking, he walked quickly into his room, took out the four treasures of the study, and wrote a few words on the paper.

After blow-drying, he folded it and wrapped it in a tarpaulin, and handed it to the little minion.

The little minion was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that his hospitality would finally be rewarded, and if he handed over this letter to the military advisor, he would definitely get a reward.

Cai Dao wrote two sentences on that letter:

If you take things away, people will never put them down.

All the cottages under the name of the Lion Village can do some business with them, but these transactions must be handled by a special person.

As for who is responsible for the external trade, Cai Dao did not say that these Cai Lanling will discuss with other masters.

Cai Dao thought that he had explained it very clearly, but he didn't expect that after a while, Cai Lanling and Hua Xianqi walked into Cai Dao's room in person.

Cai Dao was a little puzzled, so he asked, "What, didn't I understand enough in the letter?" ”

Cai Lanling shook his head and replied: "Report to the master, your previous plan has probably been guessed by the people of the Folding Family, and that money has been asked all the time, this person may have no evidence, but he must also be suspicious of that matter." Moreover, the head of the Folding family not only sent the steward to send his son and a young lady into the village, but also asked the steward to ask a question. ”

"Oh! What words! As soon as Cai Dao heard that the Zhe family was sending his children to his side, he only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the head of the Zhe family was really not to be underestimated! Compared with Di Qing's descendants, this family that guarded the frontier for the imperial court at the end of the Tang Dynasty has always been in a situation of facing life and death, so it is no wonder that this family is so talented.

In the various versions of the commentaries in later generations, how the Yang family will be famous is compared to the Fuzhou family, it is a small thing. In the more than 100 years since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the immediate family members of the entire Zhejia family who died on the battlefield do not know a little.

"Zheng Xia is in charge of Hedong Road, how should they deal with the collapse of the family?" Cai Lanling repeated the original words of the quicksand in front of Cai Dao.

"Grain, the people who let them break their families will start hoarding a lot of grain in Fuzhou from now on. You should know very well about this! "Cai Dao is at the end of the point, that plan, Hua Xianqi is not clear.

The two of them suddenly started a dumb riddle, which made Hua Qiqi feel very awkward. He was born in the forbidden army, but since he became the owner of the lion village, he didn't know what happened to the Zhe family. What do we care about the life and death of his family? ”

"Master Huadazhai, are you short of horses?" Cai Dao suddenly said something that seemed to be more unrelated to the topic just now.

As soon as Hua Qiqi heard the word 'horse', she immediately became excited: "Lacking! Childe, don't look at us as bandits, but we lack old noses without horses. Will you be able to get a horse? ”

"I don't have the skills!" Cai Dao shook his head with a smile and said.

"Then what do you put g......" Hua Xuanyi said halfway through, and then he remembered who the person in front of him was, and suddenly stopped talking.

However, Cai Dao heard that he was scolding him, so he glared at this guy fiercely, and then said: "I don't have it, but I have it!" ”

"Childe, although the Sprinkle family doesn't know how to read, don't coax the Sprinkle family with big words. There are very few places where our Great Song Dynasty produces horses, and even the imperial court is not enough, let alone the folding family. Moreover, in Fuzhou, the northwest is the Western Xia Kingdom, and the northeast is the Great Liao Kingdom. Although these two countries produce horses, even if the Zhejia family has already been rich, these two countries will not be stupid enough to sell to the Zhejia. Unless, the fold family wants to reverse our Great Song. "Don't say it, Hua Qiqi is really not in vain in the Lion Village, and he really understands the situation around Hedong Road.

"Yes! Childe, as far as his subordinates know, the Zhe family themselves are very short of horses, how can they sell horses to us? Cai Lanling didn't interject just now, but carefully recalled the information about the Zhi family that his subordinates had collected, and asked solemnly.

"Lanling doesn't understand the situation, I understand, but, Hua Xuanyi! I just wanted to praise you, but, looking at your current knowledge, it's really in vain to stay in Lion Village all these years! Cai Dao couldn't help but ridicule Hua Xuanyi.

Seeing that he looked unconvinced, Cai Dao took the initiative to uncover the mystery: "Indeed, the northwest of Fuzhou is Western Xia, and the northeast is Liao. But, let me ask you, is there a nomadic settlement in the north of Western Xia! In the northern part of Liao Kingdom, are there any ethnic minorities living there? During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Tuoba Xianbei of the Northern Wei Dynasty was originally a Hu person, and later built a capital in Pingcheng, which is now Yunzhou. But there are also nomadic people in the north of him, whose names are Rouran. Later, the Turks, who were at their peak, were only soft wrought iron slaves at that time. ”

"Really!" When Cai Lanling heard this, he couldn't help but look at Hua Qiyi, only to see that after listening to Cai Dao's words, this guy looked a little wilted, and wanted to open his mouth to refute Cai Dao several times, but he didn't seem to know how to speak.

"Why, still not convinced. As far as I know, in the northern part of Western Xia, in the northwest of the Liao Kingdom, there were also countless ethnic groups, and they were called by different names in different places. In short, I have heard that one of these tribes is called the Tatars, although these numbers are not large, and the tribes are relatively scattered, but they are all skilled in arching and horses, even if the iron harriers and some back-carrying troops of the Western Xia Kingdom encounter them, they will not be able to get any benefits. ”

"Childe, since the other party is so powerful, why can't he beat the Western Xia Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom?" Hua Qianqi finally found some arguments from Cai Dao's words that he could refute Cai Dao, so he boldly retorted.

Cai Lanling also asked some questions, but what he was thinking about was naturally different from that of Hua Xuan: "Yes!" Childe, since the other party has a horse, why hasn't the Zhe family made a deal with them? ”

"Stupid, how many! The Western Xia Kingdom has always been a wolf pack tactic when it comes to fighting, and no matter how brave the Tatars are, their tribes are too small and have too few warriors, not to mention that these nomadic tribes have always lacked iron weapons. What is even more deadly is that the Tatar tribes have been fighting each other all the time, and there is no cohesion at all.

As for the Ori, there are two reasons why they have not been able to make a deal with these Tatars. First, the courage of the Zhe family is too small, even if they are in Fuzhou and want to mobilize the army, UU read the book .et that must be reported to the Hedong Road transfer envoy, otherwise, once the transfer envoy cuts off the food supply in Fuzhou, the Zhe family's army will be self-defeating.

Second, there are too few horses in the folded family, and this kind of transaction is basically a one-shot deal, and when the two sides trade, the action must be fast. In case the border army of the Western Xia Kingdom learned of this situation, whether it was to bring troops to surround them. or bring troops to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao and go straight to Fuzhou, which will bring a very fatal blow to the Zhi family.

What's more, those Tatars have never dealt with our Song people, and it is difficult for both sides of the transaction to trust each other. Cai Dao couldn't help but mock Hua Xuanyi, and he told the reasons one by one.

This time, whether it is Cai Lanling or Hua Qianyi, they are all convinced and admired.

Cai Lanling thought for a while, and asked a key point: "Master, if that's the case, even if you give the Zhe family this idea, they still don't dare to trade with the Tatars!" ”

"Yes! Childe, although you are extremely smart, but the people of the folding family are not stupid, is it just because of your words, their entire family dares to take risks. Hua Xuanyi echoed.
