"Captain, please see, the older and taller one is Li Liang, a local squire from Shangdang; The other younger, named Gai Tong, is from Beidi County, the westernmost part of our Shangdang, and is a merchant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shi Jin is a little strange, these local squires are either rich and noble, or well-managed, in short, they all have their own ways, especially unwilling to have economic involvement with the people in the government, even if they are willing to give some filial piety money every year, they don't want to do any substantive business with the court officials.

Li Liang was in his fifties, well-maintained and in good spirits, he was waiting on the sidelines, and when he saw his own soldiers beckoning to him, he took Gai Tong and walked over in two steps. Shi Jin said hello and nodded, "What's the matter with Old Li?" ”

"Ah, don't dare, the grass people can't afford to be called Captain Shidu." Li Liang was very humble, bowed and waved his hand again and again, and was polite before returning to business.

"Back to Shi Duwei, it's like this, this Gai Tong is a distant relative of Xiaomin, and our two families haven't been in contact for some years. A few days ago, he suddenly came to my house and walked around, and he happened to hear about it and came to meet him. ”

After going around for a long time, it turned out that there was something wrong with this Gai Tong, and Li Liang was just a middleman. Shi Jin motioned for several people to talk in the next place, and Gai Tong didn't wait for Shi Jin to ask, and then he had already spoken.

It turns out that Gai Tong is actually a remnant of a small tribe in Mobei, although the small people of the tribe are poor and have no property, but they are rich in horses, Gai Tong is a businessman, in today's words, he is a white wolf, who sells the things of the A family to the B family, and sells the things of the B family to the C family, and earns a difference in price to do errands. He lived in the north, looking around for business, of course, he knew the situation in this county, and he also heard that Shi Jin, the captain of the Shangdang Dynasty, was looking for horses to buy, and he had a high interest in war horses, so he couldn't help but think that if a large number of horses were brought from Mobei and sold to Shi Jin, wouldn't it be a great joy for everyone.

Businessmen are inherently profit-oriented. As soon as he thought of this, Gai Tong could still sit still, so he prepared some gifts and knocked on the door of his cousin's house, who had not been in contact for many years. Li Liang was a little surprised by his sudden visit, and after hearing about his intention, he also thought that if he contributed to this matter, whether he had money to make was secondary, the key was to help Taishou, so that he could look down on his own family, and he would invisibly climb the big tree, and when he climbed on the ground, he would be a head taller, which was not something money could buy.

So Li Liang was also willing to contribute, he was a local native, and soon trusted the relationship and found Shi Jin's personal soldiers. As soon as the soldiers heard about it, it was not a small matter, so they bluntly told each other, I can't be the master of this matter, but I can help you and others introduce it to Captain Shidu, and this is what the two want.

So there was a scene of the right talent. Gai Tong finished speaking with great interest, and looked at Shi Jin with a blank eye, for fear that he would shake his head or have another change. Shi Jin pondered for a moment and said, "How many horses can you bring, and what about the price?" ”

"The quantity, it depends on how much appetite Captain Shi Duwei has, the price is negotiable," Gai Tong felt relieved, as long as you buy it, it doesn't matter what else you do.

Shi Jin couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Oh? Are you ready? "Not long ago, he bought horses from the people of Xihe, and each horse cost nine yuan, but Shi Jin only bought a few dozen; turned to Liangzhou to buy horses, each horse cost ten yuan, Shi Jin's flesh hurt.

Now I suddenly heard that each horse only needs five times, which is already very cheap. couldn't help but hesitate, and couldn't help but say: "I buy a horse in the hands of Xihe people, and I need nine yuan, but it is indeed the best Qinghai Cheng." As long as you go five times, you won't fool me with a sick horse, right? ”

When it comes to trading, Shi Jin is indeed not good. But Zhang Quan has no reliable people, and only Shi Jin can deal with it.

Shi Jin thought that he had picked up a bargain, but he didn't know that Mobei was even willing to sell it. Over there are many horses in Mobei, and now there are few wars, and there is no use for keeping them, and they can't sell them if they want to exchange for property, and no matter how treasures they are, they are useless if they are not worth money.

Gai Tong hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Captain, I promise you with my life, they are definitely strong and sturdy horses!" I just want to earn a little money to make a living, but how dare I coax it, and besides, I will have to deliver it in person in the future, if there is a difference, the captain will dispose of it at will! ”

"Hmm. If so, then you can give it a try, but what if the horse travels a long distance, and there is something sick and tired on the way? ”

Gai Tong hurriedly lowered his face and said: "I was about to tell the lord that there was a loss on the way, this is a matter of no way, so I can only bear with the captain, and there will be as many horses as there will be at that time."

Shi Jin was originally attracted by the unit price of five guan per horse, but now that he heard Gai Tong tell the truth, he calculated in his heart, and it was acceptable, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then." I will buy a thousand horses at one time, you take the lead, after the matter is completed, and then there will be dividends to thank each other, in the future, my family will be too shou to buy in large quantities, the transaction is there, it depends on whether you are sincere in doing this transaction. ”

Gai Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, he was able to receive an order for a thousand war horses, he was already an ancestor of virtue, and there was a bigger business, this was the rhythm of soaring!

The deal is basically settled, but if you run a little more, you can make a steady profit. Gai Tong smiled happily, and repeatedly swore that he would get things done no matter what, and he would not live up to the trust of the captain.

It is useless to be anxious about the horses, so you can only wait with peace of mind. But the matter of Taihang Mountain can not be delayed at all, Shi Jin sent several groups of spies to inquire about the movements of Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro, Zhang Quan stabbed such a big Lou Zi, almost pulled out one-fifth of Zhang Yan's forces, judging from Zhang Yan's actions across Taihang and Weizhen Hebei, it was only a matter of time to retaliate against the party.

made a clear division of labor for the generals, Zhang Quan became the shopkeeper again, except for occasionally looking at the progress of the martial arts training under his command, that is, to step up the improvement of his own quality base, and strive to catch up with the figure of the Heavenly Khan, or even surpass.

Pei Yuanshao also sent information that he had arrived at Tianjing Pass and began to prepare to build and strengthen the defense of Tianjing Pass. Zhang Quan also sent a letter instructing him not to be in a hurry, not to alarm the nerves of Hanoi and Chang'an, just keep a low profile, and find out the news of the two places by the way.

I planned to take advantage of this free time to do a major operation on Shangdang County and clean up these black sheep of Shangdang, but after thinking about it, through Li Dingguo's investigation last time, it was found that some of the county orders of Shangdang have a lot to do with Taihang bandits, if you can't clean it up now, it will inevitably give Zhang Quan a fatal blow in the upcoming war, or wait until Zhang Yan's attack is successfully repelled, and then clean up these moths will get twice the result with half the effort.
