Lu Kang was relieved when he saw Lu Su's official purchase list.

The things that Lu Su wanted officials to buy were nothing more than three kinds, cattle, horses, and grain.

The grain is mainly millet rice, barley, corn, millet, and rice that is still a special product of Jiangdong at this time, in addition, in fact, there are common plants and Liang rice, but Liang rice is a relatively high-quality grain, and some families will pay attention to eating these when they are in good years, and the price is relatively high.

According to the price a few years ago, Liang rice cost about 400 yuan a stone, the others are two or three hundred yuan, and tempeh costs 500 yuan, and the price of grain has soared in recent years, even in Jiangdong, it has risen by 50%, and it has even doubled in the Central Plains!

On the contrary, the land at this time was very cheap, and ordinary farmland only cost 1,000 yuan, at most 35,000 yuan per mu, and the anointed land also cost 10,000 yuan.

However, whether it is a family of five in the Central Plains or a family of six or seven in Jiangdong, they can only cultivate a hundred acres of land, and the current cultivation method is still very rough, and the yield per mu of ordinary medium fields is only about one stone - that is, one hundred and twenty catties in the Han Dynasty and sixty or seventy catties in later generations.

And the purchase price of grain given by Lu Su was 300 yuan.

What reassured Lu Kang was that the purchase price of the buffalo and the good horse was 150,000 yuan and 2 million yuan respectively!

After Bai Tu arrived in Jiangdong, Lu Bu once wanted to expand the cavalry, but after inquiring about the price of horses, he basically dispelled his idea.

The "good horse" that can train the horsepower of the war horse only costs a few thousand yuan in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and the ordinary preferred good horse only costs ten thousand dollars.

However, once in the Central Plains, the price of horses immediately soared, and when the imperial court used more soldiers, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a good horse cost more than 50,000 yuan, and it cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in normal times.

However, during the period of Emperor Ling, because of the "Hao Right Gu Yu" - that is, the monopoly of the horse trade by the wealthy family of the family, the price of horses floated to the sky, reaching the sky-high price of 2 million yuan per horse!

It was not until recent years that these wealthy families dared to take the Han family as a Kaizi, but they did not dare to treat the princes from all walks of life as Kaizi, which made the price of horses fall, but even so, the price of horses in the Central Plains was more than 100,000 yuan, and Jiangdong was even more than 350,000 yuan......

That is to say, the same is to train cavalry, in the northern border states of You, Bing, and Liang, the cost of horses is only 10,000, in the Central Plains it will be increased tenfold, and in the south it will be increased by another three or five times!

Moreover, when training war horses, the most important weight and explosiveness, the Jiangdong horse, which is crossed by the Dian horse and the Central Plains horse, is far inferior to the grassland horse, and is better at carrying weight and endurance.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao, who will hold Hebei in the future, has a lot of money in cavalry, while even Liu Biao, who is very rich in the south, does not have many cavalry.

As for the price of cultivated cattle, it is about the same as that of horses in the Central Plains, and it is also about 100,000 yuan.

But that's "ploughing cattle"!

Koto's buffalo is a "beef cattle", and the price is based on meat, which is equivalent to a dead farming cattle.

For a long time, the people of the Han Dynasty have accepted the exchange ratio, that is, ten catties of meat, one stone of rice, the "catty" of the Han Dynasty is much smaller than that of later generations, almost only half, a buffalo can produce a thousand catties of meat, and the market price is only one or two thousand yuan......

And now Bai Tu is willing to use the price of 120,000 ploughing cattle to buy buffaloes, and use the price of 2 million yuan to buy horses, obviously the so-called 200,000 yuan fine, but the thunder is loud and the rain is small, most of them want to knock the big families - at this time, Lu Kang thinks so.

"Lu Gong, I think it's not so easy for each family to get cash, I'm afraid it's not so easy, it's better to give my Ministry of Civil Affairs a convenience, and use the spot to offset the account! For every 100 households, it is necessary to pay 100 cattle, 1 good horse, and 10,000 stones of grain. Lu Su said.

Just now, Lu Kang was still thinking that although it was the most cost-effective to use "ploughing cattle" to settle the account, in order to ease the relationship between the two sides, he was still ready to persuade everyone to pay some grain and horses.

This can also be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the white picture by the wealthy families.

Now that Lu Su has proposed the proportion, Lu Kang has no intention of objecting.

Instead, Bai Tu asked more: "There is so much meat in each family...... Ahem, so many buffaloes and grain? ”

"I can still get some of them." Lu Kang said.

In fact, Bai Tu has already found out that the one who breeds the most buffaloes in Jiangdong is the Xu family of Wu County!

After all, when it comes to family assets, the most basic is grain, the best is salt and iron, and raising cattle is a second-rate business that the four surnames in Jiangdong can't look down on......

This time, each family wants to buy a large number of buffaloes, and the Xu family can make a lot of money, and Bai Tu estimates that Xu Gong will be happy for two or three months.

This idea of opening his mouth first and then letting them settle the account with cattle and horse grain was proposed by Lu Su, and after Bai Tu put him in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was also his duty to collect strategic materials.

Ling Baitu made a "no-capital transaction", and the money that was supposed to buy buffalo and grain was also saved.

At the same time, "on the surface" to avoid the disgust of the Jiangdong family after Bai Tu spread the nose ring technique, I Bai Tu, I didn't take advantage of you, I bought it at the price of cultivated cattle!

Of course, it is only on the surface that it cannot express its dissatisfaction in a righteous and open manner, in fact, this move is still put on the side of the wealthy families of the Jiangdong family, but Bai Tu really needs these cattle ......

With these 50,000 head of cattle, most of the buffaloes in Jiangdong are under the name of the state pastoral government, and Baitu can guarantee that at least one cow can be used in ten households - Baitu can be lent to farmers for free first, and more grain taxes will be charged afterwards, but the wealthy families will not.

Especially after knowing that the biggest cattle household is the Xu family, Bai Tu has no sense of guilt.

Another 500 good horses, although not able to expand the size of the cavalry, are enough to supplement the horsepower of the existing cavalry.

Five million stone grain is not a small amount - a few decades later, when Deng Ai was in Huainan Tuntian, he could only save five million stone grain and grass a year, and he could only save 30 million stone in six or seven years!

However, Bai Tu believes that the wealthy family in Jiangdong can make up for it, after all, even Lu Su, who is not too trenched, and usually fights righteousness and squanders money, and does not store grain, can give away thousands of stones.

After Lu Kang and Lu Su discussed the specific details, such as the calf, two to one, and three horses to one, etc., they also hinted to Bai Tu that he could talk to the wealthy families of the major families, but this salary was not just a "fine", but also the support and goodwill of the major families to Bai Tu.

After all, Bai Tu has shown strength and potential, and ...... There is also the effect of "Enlightened Grandmaster"!

"My lord, my Yu clan is willing to offer an additional hundred good horses and 10,000 silk horses to help the great cause." Yu Xuan took the initiative to say at this time.

A horse of silk is about equivalent to five stones of grain, but ordinary people generally wear linen, and the price is only one-third of that of silk.

The Yu family is a big horse breeder - in Jiangdong, if you can take out a hundred horses, you can already be regarded as a big horse breeder, and you can't compare with the north.

Lu Kang became more and more surprised when he heard this, what kind of medicine was Yu Tuan injected......

At the same time, I also understand that now Yu Tuo intends to show loyalty to Bai Tu in front of himself, and also indirectly warns other families that if they want to buy his horse, even if they don't need two million dollars, it will be more expensive than usual.

Lu Kang guessed that Bai Tu and Lu Su should have other things to say, and when they saw that there was nothing to do with him, they took the initiative to leave, and Yu Fu also left with Lu Kang, and then he would also assist Lu Kang to complete the household registration of the household department.

Lu Kang had expected that Hubu would definitely come to Bai Tu's henchmen to be his deputy again.

It's just that I couldn't guess that this person would be Yu Fu from a family!
