Chapter 251: War Horse Trading

Gu Banqin covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "I heard that Xie Zhaoyi and Fang Liangyuan are coming, do I want to come, how unsocial do I be?" ”

Helian Hongyi: ......

I know what not to expect from her.

Gu Banqin looked at the horses running on the horse farm, and asked Helian Hongyi, "What are you doing now?" Is it faster than which one? ”

"Well, sort of. This time, the State of Chu brought more than a dozen good horses produced in the territory of the State of Chu, which is not much better than the sweat and blood of the horse, which is not a test run. ”

Gu Banqin's eyes fell on the horse farm, and the horses that were really running were scarlet all around, and when they ran, they were like red clouds on the horizon, fast and steady, although they were not as tall as sweaty BMWs, but their speed was first-class.

After running two laps, not only was he not thrown away by the sweaty BMW, but he followed more and more tightly, and the rider on horseback seemed to start accelerating, and Helian Hongyi couldn't help but look fascinated, it seemed that it should be the last lap.

I saw that the horse suddenly accelerated, and swept forward like a gust of wind, and after the leader of the horse took the lead and surpassed the three sweaty horses, the remaining two also swept out with the wind of the leader.

In a few moments, the three horses were more than in front of the sweaty horse, until a whip was remembered, and the knight on horseback tightened the reins, and the six horses on the horse field neighed.

As a result, three horses defeated three sweaty horses, Helian Hongyi turned his head, nodded to Dingyuan Hou Luo Bi, clapped his hands and said:

"Sure enough."

Luo Pi stepped forward and replied to Helian Hongyi: "This horse is a special war horse of my Chu country, the body of the horse is stout and strong, although it does not have the appearance of a bloody horse, but it is a good product to be used as a war horse on the battlefield." What does the emperor think? ”

Helian Hongyi stood up from the dragon chair and said from the bottom of his heart: "Horses are indeed good horses, there is no doubt about it. ”

Luo Bi was affirmed by Helian Hongyi, and his face became more and more proud, and he said to Helian Hongyi: "The emperor feels that the good ministers are relieved, my country came to Daqi this time, one is to pay a visit to ask for peace, and the other is to discuss with the emperor, can our Daqi make this war horse deal with Chu State?" ”

Gu Banqin's eyebrows suddenly suddenly, this Luo Bi really spoke directly and unpretentiously, although he said that he wanted to discuss, but he brought it up here, so that Helian Hongyi would agree or not.

"War horse business?" Helian Hongyi raised his eyebrows quietly, made a gesture of invitation to Luo Bi, and asked Luo Bi to come to the side of the dragon case to talk, looking very interested.

"Yes, I'm a rough person, I'm not afraid that the emperor will hear the joke, and if you have something to say, you will say it directly. As we all know, our Chu country has experienced more than ten years of civil strife, and now the national strength is not as good as before, tens of thousands of war horses are useless, our emperor thought of the neighboring country of Daqi, if Daqi can digest some war horses for my Chu country, it will be the greatest help to our country, and my Chu country will be grateful to the emperor. ”

Luo Bi was as he said, rough people said rough words, Gu Banqin couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him when he heard it next to him, this Chu State is too arrogant.

The so-called digestion of war horses is nothing more than a compassionate forced buying and selling, with a sense of 'my things are so good, it is your honor to sell them to you'.

Helian Hongyi sat on the dragon chair and groaned, did not speak, looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more to Luo Bi on this issue, because no matter what Helian Hongyi said, he was at a disadvantage, if he didn't care about these war horses, then it was bound to introduce Luo Bi to the person in charge of this matter, and if he wanted to take care of it, it would be even more degraded.

Luo Bi stood on the side, the old god was there, waiting for Helian Hongyi's reaction, and a sweet voice came from behind Helian Hongyi:

"I don't know how much this horse in your country costs if it is a war horse?"

Gu Banqin walked out from behind Helian Hongyi, blocked in front of Helian Hongyi, and looked at Luo Bi, Luo Bi took the initiative to take two steps back, I don't know why the favorite concubine in front of him, who looked very young, suddenly asked him this question, but he couldn't help but answer, so he replied with a smile:

"Qi Yu Niangniang, this horse is the most prestigious thing in our country, which is a combination of sweat and blood horses and wild horses on the Mongolian steppe......"

Gu Banqin didn't wait for him to finish, and then asked again: "Oh, don't tell me about those bloodlines and other things, I don't understand, what's more, people can't guarantee the purity of blood, let alone animals?" Just tell me, how much are you going to sell a horse? ”

Luo Bi was choked by Gu Banqin's words, and clearly knew that this little concubine was scolding him with words, but he couldn't get angry on his face, endured his temper, and replied to her:

"It's not expensive. The price of one horse is two hundred taels, and it can supply three to fifty thousand horses every winter. ”

Gu Banqin inadvertently glanced back at Helian Hongyi, and the two exchanged a 'not small' look, Gu Banqin still used her relatively innocent appearance to say to Luo Bi innocently:

"Oh, two hundred taels a horse is not too expensive, a sweat and blood horse is at least three or four hundred taels, and the annual output is small, so it seems that your horse does have some advantages."

Luo Bi secretly said good, thinking that this little concubine was going to be a bad thing, but he didn't expect to hear a satisfactory word from her mouth.

hurriedly replied: "Yes, Niangniang Mingjian." ”

But before she was happy for a while, she saw Gu Banqin ask Wang Shun's father-in-law to get her an abacus, and began to calculate the account with Luo Bi carefully:

"A horse costs two hundred taels of silver, and now the feed for war horses is more expensive than one day, plus feed, the price of each horse is about two hundred and twenty taels, and it has to be transported from the Chu State Horse Farm to my Daqi territory, and it has to pass through the mountains and plains, right?"

Gu Banqin began to plan the plate, Luo Bi looked at her inexplicably, and heard Gu Banqin suddenly ask him about geography, Luo Bi was stunned for a while before reacting, licked his lips, and subconsciously looked at Chu Xiaocheng, who was dressed as a guard, and then took out his confidence and said to Gu Banqin:

"Yes. You have to go through mountains and plains. ”

Gu Banqin nodded, flicked it twice on the abacus, and said: "Then you have to add the labor and the wear and tear of the horses during transportation, so that if you spread it evenly, the cost price of each horse will at least add another thirty taels, that is, about two hundred and fifty taels." Dingyuan Hou also thinks about this palace, is this the truth, can this palace miscalculate? ”

Luo Bi looked at Gu Banqin's serious way of settling accounts with him, and really didn't understand Daqi's painting style, looked in the direction of Helian Hongyi, and asked:

"Your Majesty, the minister is sincerely discussing the matter of war horses with the emperor, but the mother is here to calculate these wonderful accounts with the minister, I don't know ......"

Before Luo Bi's words were finished, Helian Hongyi waved his hand while drinking tea: "Well, it's the same with Concubine Xian, there is no need to worry about Dingyuan." ”

Where is the worry, there is no confidence at all.

"Yes, there is no need to worry about Dingyuan, in fact, the result of your negotiation with the palace must be better than the negotiation with the emperor, and the palace will not detain your horse, what are you afraid of?" Gu Banqin's smile was like a flower, and she was really willing to talk about business with Luo Bi.

Helian Hongyi was behind Gu Banqin, taking in Luo Bi's expression, an invincible general on the battlefield, when facing Gu Banqin's fingers, he was also heroic and short of breath, but according to today's situation, if it weren't for Gu Banqin's neutralization of the mud, Helian Hongyi would have a headache now.

"Minister, obey the order."

Luo Bi had to pay attention to Gu Banqin's crackling and earth-shattering abacus again, I really don't understand, she is a good favorite concubine, how to change the style of painting, and now she actually began to make calculations, and on the price he proposed, he added some things that seemed to make no sense, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with the price.

Gu Banqin pushed the abacus in front of Luo Bi, pointed to the numbers on it, and said to Luo Bi: "After calculating it in this way, the messy expenses add up, and a horse is safely transported to Daqi, at least three hundred and twenty-three taels, such a high price is almost worth the sweat and blood of the BMW." ”

Dingyuan Hou Luo Bi looked at the numbers on the abacus that he didn't know at all, scratched his head, obviously not good at mathematics, he couldn't figure out how Gu Banqin increased the price of a horse to such a high level, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Gu Banqin: "This, this price is not right, what I said is two hundred taels, Niangniang, you added so much out of thin air, deliberately raising the price of the horse, but why?" ”

This little concubine is really unusual, people are all lowering the price, counteroffering, she is good, directly increase the original price, and in the end, even they themselves are a little confused, how much did their horses sell.

Gu Banqin's eyes lit up, and Luo Bi's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he only listened to Gu Banqin's question:

"Dingyuan Hou means that you only need two hundred taels for each horse, and then be responsible for feeding, and a horse that is not bad will transport the horse to Daqi safely? No matter how much wear and tear there is in the middle of the journey, you can send a lot of horses when you set a date? ”

Luo Bi not only had a numb scalp, but also worried in his heart, how could he feel that this little concubine was digging a pit for him to jump, and raised his eyes again to ask Helian Hongyi for help, but this time, Helian Hongyi simply leaned on the dragon chair, watching the equestrian performance on the horse farm intently, and had no time to care about his call for help.

"Lord Luo, what do you see doing elsewhere? You haven't answered yet. Gu Banqin urged him.

Luo Bi couldn't help scratching his head, wiped his beard, and said a vague 'ah': "This, is there any difference?" What did Niang Niang just calculate, why I still don't understand. ”

Gu Banqin put away the abacus, stopped selling it to him, and said: "I previously calculated how much silver it would take for a horse to be transported from Chu to Daqi, including feed and labor, as well as the loss of horses along the way, and the amount of loss is not the same for each mile, so it has to be recalculated. ”
