At this time, Yue Yang didn't know that someone was jumping up and down to deal with him, and he was busy training the more than a thousand newly recruited recruits at this time.

With the support of the powerful productive forces of modern society, he didn't care about the hundreds of loads of salt that were burned, and he soon ordered people to rebuild the two salt shops that were burned down, and soon reopened the business.

Because the salt sold by Yue's shop pΓΉ was of good quality and low price, it soon set off a rush to buy in the city. In order to prevent other salt merchants from coming to his shop to sweep the goods and then sell them elsewhere, Yueyang also stipulated purchase restrictions, that is, the amount of salt that each person could buy should not exceed two catties a day, which temporarily suppressed the rush to buy.

And while Yue Yang was busy, he did not forget to take revenge on the Wang family, he sent Hu Laosan to lead hundreds of regimental training soldiers into several ways, and launched a crazy revenge on the various industries of the Wang family, whether it was arson or murder, he did it without psychological pressure. In less than 20 days, more than 20 shops in the Wang family were burned down, three caravans were robbed, and hundreds of people were killed.

In November, the Wang family finally couldn't hold on, especially after Wang Shoucheng received a letter from his eldest son, and saw that the governor Xu Dingchen actually favored Yueyang, he finally realized that if the Wang family survived again, there would only be the end of the family being ruined. After realizing this, Wang Shoucheng finally made the decision to break the wrist of the strong man, and he sold the Wang family's property in Shanxi at a low price in a short period of time, and then moved his family to Jinling. This news also shocked all the gentry and wealthy families in Yingzhou City, and everyone was stunned by Yue Yang's black hand. Once upon a time, the Wang family was in Yingzhou City, but they were forced away by this kid, and it seems that you should be careful when facing this kid in the future.

Not to mention the jealousy of others towards Yueyang, Yueyang, who is familiar with history, knows that the real troubled times will come soon, and he must seize the time and do everything possible to enhance his strength, otherwise he will be swallowed up by the frenzy of history in the near future, so he has no psychological pressure on himself to force the Wang family away. No, he took the initiative to find someone again today.

In a spacious lobby in the eastern part of Yingzhou City, Yue Yang's voice rang out.

"Master Li, we haven't seen each other for a few days, but you're blessed again!" In this spacious lobby, Yue Yang was sitting on a seat in the lobby, holding a teacup and talking to Li Yuan with a smile.

But Li Yuan's looked at Yue Yang helplessly, with a hint of helplessness on his face. To be honest, he really didn't want to deal with the smiling young man in front of him now, and the movement made by this young man during this time was too big, and it was already so big that it was terrifying. killed hundreds of Wang family's guards and family members in one go, forcing the Wang family to move out, although this incident was of course because the Wang family broke the rules first, but after that, Yue Yang's methods revealed shocked everyone who was familiar with the inside story.

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Yue Yang said to himself: "Master Li, to be honest, I came to you this time to ask for a little thing. ”

Li Yuan said weakly: "Anyway, what's the matter this time?" ”

Yue Yang smiled and said: "Master Li, I heard that the Li family is often very familiar with the Tartars outside the Guan, and eighty percent of the leather business in Yingzhou Capital is in your hands, is that so?" ”

"Well, what do you want to do?" As soon as he heard Yue Yang's words, Li Yuan, who had no spirit, suddenly straightened up, and said in a deep voice with a vigilant light in his eyes, "Nephew Yue Xian, you have driven the Wang family out of Yingzhou Mansion, and his salt business has also been taken over by you, do you still want to put your hand into the leather business?" ”

"Huh...... The Li family's words are heavy! Yue Yang waved his hand, "Don't worry, Master Li, I don't have much interest in your leather business, I came to you this time to inquire about other matters, I hope you can tell the truth." ”

"You say." The vigilance in Li Yuan's heart did not weaken, but became stronger, he now understood that this Yue Yang was definitely a ruthless master, and his means of doing things could not be measured by common sense at all.

"Master Li, I just want to ask, if I want to buy a large number of war horses, is there a way to get them?"

"War horses? Or is it a large batch? As soon as Li Yuan heard this word, the tight string in his heart slowly loosened, and then asked, "How many war horses do you want?" ”

"For now, I want this number first!" Yue Yang calmly stretched out a slap.

"Five hundred?" Li Yuan's brows furrowed, and then he asked with some curiosity, "How many people are there in that regimental training you run, do you need so many war horses?" ”

"Master Li, you are wrong. I'm not talking about five hundred, but five thousand! Yue Yang stretched out his slap again, shaking it again in front of him.

"Bang dang!" The teacup in Li Yuan's hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, and at the same time lost his voice: "You are crazy, five thousand war horses? Are you rebelling? Do you know how much silver it costs? ”

"I don't know!" Yue Yang shook his head honestly.

"A horse costs at least sixty to seventy taels of silver! And you may not be able to buy it! Li Yuan said angrily: "If you buy a dozen or twenty horses, maybe people will sell them to you, but if you buy thousands of horses in one go, the fool will know what you are going to do?" Unless the Mongols are fools, then you can still buy it! And if you buy so many war horses in one go, even if the Mongols are willing to sell them to you, you can't transport them in, you are a fool at the level of the border army! ”

"Sixty or seventy taels of silver a horse?" Yue Yang secretly calculated in his heart, if he bought five thousand horses in one go, it would cost more than 300,000 taels of silver. If that's the case, he really can't afford it now.

Thinking of this, Yue Yang thought for a moment and then said, "Master Li, since five thousand war horses are too many, you can buy one thousand first." ”

Li Yuan looked at Yue Yang with the eyes of a monster for a while before he said helplessly: "Nephew Yue Xian, the old man really can't understand, what are you buying so many horses for?" Do you know how much it costs to raise a cavalry? Aren't you afraid that this cavalry will destroy Yuejiazhuang? ”

Some people may say that there is nothing wrong with raising horses, let them eat grass, hay and wheat straw every day, is it possible for them to eat? In fact, the person who said this is himself a person who does not understand horses. Maybe ordinary horses can be raised like this, but war horses used in war must not be raised like this, war horses must be fed and eaten well, otherwise they will not have the strength to train and fight. Generally, the food of war horses is beans, wheat and wheat bran, and sometimes some vegetable oil is mixed in wheat bran, which is also to add some nutrition to war horses and prevent constipation. If the horse eats too much hay and is constipated, the horse owner has to feed it some low-quality honey to moisten the intestines and laxative. What's worse is that the amount of food eaten by horses is much larger than that of people, a horse has to eat six to ten catties of grass a day, and four to six catties of concentrate, how do you feel after seeing this? Scared, right? Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, the cost of raising one cavalry was equivalent to raising five infantrymen, and it was Li Yuan who asked Yue Yang in such a strange tone.

However, this question is a problem that ordinary people are scratching their heads, but Yue Yang doesn't care about it.

"Of course I do!" Yue Yang said nonchalantly: "But don't worry, the head of the Li family, since I can afford it, I will definitely be able to afford it, and you won't have to worry about it!" All you have to do is tell me if I can get so many horses! ”

The idea of forming a cavalry was not a temporary idea of Yue Yang, but a plan he had for a long time. Although Yue Yang is not a military expert, he knows very well that in the era of cold weapons, cavalry is the undisputed king of the 6 wars. If he didn't have a strong cavalry in his hands, even if he wrapped the soldiers in his hands into iron cans, he would still be deflated when he encountered the cavalry. But because the number of soldiers in his hands was too small before, and there were also the Wang family and the Lin family watching on the side, and there was no way to buy horses, he never mentioned it, but now the Wang family has been driven away by his thunderous means, and Li Yuan is afraid of his own means to show favor to himself, it just so happens that this guy has to buy and sell leather goods with the Mongolian tribes outside the border all the year round, and the very challenging work of buying war horses will naturally fall on his head.

Li Yuan was really a little scared of this guy who played cards out of common sense, and he said helplessly; "If you want to buy so many war horses, I can't help you get them, you have to talk to the Tartars outside the gate by yourself, and I can only match you up at most!"

"Then it's a deal!"

Although Li Yuan didn't agree to come down, Yue Yang was already very satisfied. He smiled and said to Li Yuan, who was depressed: "As long as you can introduce those Mongolian tribes outside the customs for me, I am willing to sell you five thousand catties of refined salt at a price of three hundred wen per catty, so that you can earn some pocket money!" ”

"Is that true?" As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, Li Yuan, who had been beaten by frost and looked decadent, was suddenly shocked.

Yue Yang smiled: "Of course it's true, as long as you don't grab business with me in Shanxi!" ”

"Well, it's a deal!" is worthy of a businessman who sees money, and his spirit immediately comes up as soon as he hears the benefits. You must know that after this period of word of mouth, the reputation of the refined salt sold by Yue Yang has spread all over Shanxi, and even to other provinces, and the price of a pound of experience outside has even risen to 900 Wen and there is no market, Yue Yang is giving himself silver by doing this, how can he not make Li Yuan overjoyed!
