Lin Qingwan glanced at him and said earnestly: "The people on the grassland have horses, they are for grazing, but my Daliang people use horses to travel like my Lin family, and there are four standing carriages, because there are regulations, so there are seven horses reserved for pulling carts, and there are more than fifty additional horses, which are rationed for family guards." ”

"There are only two aunts and nephews in my family, so as long as I have two more carriages for guests, but the other big families have luxuriant children, not to mention the female dependents in the family, the men always need a horse each, right? The six arts of the gentleman include the royal one. ”

"So don't think that we bought horses to enrich the army," Lin Qingwan pointed to Wu Shilang and said: "I don't believe you asked him, how much is the horse sold to the military department, and what is the price of being transported to Jiangnan and the Central Plains to sell to private individuals?" ”

"No matter how loyal I am to the country, I am reluctant to give up so much money."

Wendihan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Daliang's horse expensive?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "The Khan sent someone over to inquire and found out, why bother asking me, you asked me, I answered, and you may not believe it in your heart." ”

Wu Shilang put down the teacup and explained: "Horses are also divided into several grades, the best horses, especially the thousand-mile good horse, that is really hard to find, the lower official remembers that the Chu State specially sent a thousand-mile horse to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, which was originally intended for the second highness's ......."

Wu Shilang said this, "It is for the fourth highness, but because His Highness is not good at equestrianism, His Majesty dislikes him for spoiling good horses, so he wants to reward the horses to the military generals in the court." ”

Wu Shilang smiled and continued: "When the military department Shangshu heard the news, he specially carried a box of gold nuggets into the palace, and gave the queen a golden Buddha statue, and His Majesty rewarded him with the horse. For this reason, the military department Shangshu also quietly embezzled his wife's dowry, and I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the family. ”

Lin Qingwan: "......"

Wendihan and the right phase: "......"

Lin Qingwan coughed lightly, looked at Wen Dihan and smiled: "You see, there are few people in the world who don't love BMWs, and I have few horse farms in Daliang, so it is difficult to breed good horses, and Daliao has horses, why can't they communicate with each other?" ”

"Do you think that horses are war materials, so I'm afraid that my Liang State bought Ma Qiangjun, but don't forget, the importance of grain and salt in the war is no less than that of horses, but my Liang is still willing to let go of the transaction to you, aren't we afraid that you will buy food to feed the soldiers and fight us in turn?" Lin Qingwan sighed: "Cooperation can be mutual suspicion, but we must also trust each other. What is Quotient? Communicate with each other, exchange what I have for what I don't have, and what you have is business. ”

"You Liao are good at raising horses, and we Liang are good at raising grain, exchanging grain for horses is a business, it is a reasonable deal, the Khan wants to exchange what we don't need for what you urgently need," Lin Qingwan shook his head and said: "That is, I am willing to suffer this loss." ”

Wendy Han was thoughtful, and the right minister also lowered his eyes and pondered.

Of course, they couldn't be moved by Lin Qingwan's words, but in the end, after listening to the words, Shang was exchanging what the other party needed for what they needed.

If the merchants from the Liang Kingdom were not interested in their goods, they would have to buy them with gold and silver.

But if you can't make ends meet, it's just a merchant who uses the gold and silver of the Liao State to enrich the Liang State, which is not what the Great Liao Imperial Court wants to see.

Today, there is no court that is not poor, and the rich are all big families and individuals.

For example, Wen Dihan, he is very rich, but there is not much money in the treasury of Liao.

Wendyham's money was stolen from the war, as well as money from smuggling.

He knows better than Lin Qingwan how popular horses are in Daliang, but he has worked with Zhao Jie for many years, and he has never supplied a horse to the other party, what he is afraid of is that he will use the horse he gave to strengthen the army.

But what Lin Qingwan said is also good, not only horses are used in the military, but also horses are used in the people, and even the market of the people is much larger than that in the army.

Giving up this business, they don't know how much money they have to lose.

Lin Qingwan asked them to think about it for themselves, and said goodbye to Wu Shilang and left.

As soon as she returned to the camp, Lin Qingwan wrote a letter and handed it to Yi Han, "Send someone back to Lin Quan and Lin An, let them prepare food, and we will trade with Liao tomorrow." ”

Yi Han took the letter and asked, "Is the Liao Kingdom also ready for the goods?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, tomorrow is not a *** end, I only asked Lin Quan and them to bring one-third of the grain over." ”

She also wants to change more horses.

An adult stallion can be exchanged for 230 to 250 stone of grain, but a bullock can be exchanged for less than 90 stone, let alone a sheep.

Because mutton is hard to sell now, she keeps the price very low, and she doesn't believe that adding a few more horses can solve the problem, and Wendihan will watch her take advantage of it.

There are one and two, only if he lets go of the authority here first, she can buy more horses with others, and she doesn't have to think about using these grains to exchange with Wendihan for the horses she is satisfied with.

Handing over the letter, Lin Qingwan looked at Wu Shilang, who had been sitting silently on the side, and asked, "What else is the matter with Wu Shilang?" ”

"County Lord," Wu Shilang bowed slightly, "the youngest son in the family has also reached the time to practice martial arts, so I want to buy him a foal and let him raise it from an early age." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Good idea." ”

Wu Shilang said embarrassedly: "It's just that I'm shy in my lower pocket, so I want to borrow some silver from you first." ”

Lin Qingwan didn't care and said, "What's so difficult about this, I'll ask Yi Han to send you a hundred taels when I go back." ”

Wu Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted, "Thank you, Lord County." ”

In Liao, an adult horse is between sixty taels and seventy taels, and a foal is about thirty taels, but if it is a good foal, it is more expensive than an ordinary adult horse, that is, around eighty taels.

Lin Qingwan borrowed just a little more silver, so that Wu Shilang had more choices.

This is a rare opportunity for him to choose a better foal for his youngest son.

It's a pity that this time he came with the determination to die, so he deliberately didn't bring much money when he left Beijing, and now it's too late to ask for it from his family.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

Yi Han sent a guard back and returned, just in time to meet Shi Zhan and lead Lanna into the big tent.

Seeing the emaciated and haggard Lanna, Yi Han's pupils shrank and he hurried up.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, he heard the voice of the stone tablet: "The Khan said that Lanna has been by your side for a while, and you are used to it, so he gave her to you, and you will go back tomorrow, just take her away." ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at Lanna and said with a smile: "A gentleman doesn't take people's favor, I think Lanna is very caring, so it's better for Khan to keep it." ”

Shi Zhan said expressionlessly: "It seems that the county lord doesn't like her, then she has no meaning to exist, don't worry, I will deal with her." ”

Lin Qingwan's smile was cold, and his gaze swept across his face, and this momentum directly overwhelmed Lanna, and Shi Zhan also had a chill down her spine, and she looked up in surprise, but she didn't dare to look at Lin Qingwan.

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and Yi Han stood behind Lin Qingwan, standing with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered.

Lin Qingwan slowly retracted her momentum at this time, and said with a chuckle: "Since Wendihan Khan is so gracious, then I will accept it, General Shi, why don't you give Lanna's family to me together, so that she will not miss home in Jiangnan in the future." ”

Shi Zhan sneered: "Lanna's father and brother were both killed in this battle to defend Youzhou. ”

Lin Qingwan said regretfully: "That's really a pity, since her father and brother are gone, what about her mother and sister-in-law?" Oh, I wonder if she has a niece or nephew or something? ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at Lan Na.

Lanna's face was numb, Xiao Shi couldn't help but push her, and said in a low voice: "The county lord asked you something, you can say it quickly." ”

Lanna came back to her senses, first subconsciously looked up at Shi Zhan, Shi Zhan looked at her coldly, she couldn't help but have a fire in her chest, and when she came back to her senses, she had already "pounced" and knelt on the ground......

She shook her body, raised her head to look at Lin Qingwan, and met her indifferent gaze, Lan Na's eyes were hot and said, "County Lord, County Lord, I beg you to ......"

She stepped forward on her knees and wanted to hug Lin Qingwan's legs, but Yi Han suddenly stood in front of her, frowning and glaring at her.

Lan Na didn't look at him, looked straight at Lin Qingwan and said, "Please ask the county lord to bring my mother, sister-in-law and nephew over, we are willing to serve the county lord and use the county lord as a cow and a horse." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at Shi Zhan and said with a smile: "I'm tired that General Shi brought them, and I will take them away tomorrow." ”

Shi Zhan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "They are not in the army, how can I know where they are?" The county lord might as well ask Lanna for the address and send someone to pick them up. ”

"That's right," Lin Qingwan said regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't go in and out of the Liao Kingdom at will, so I can only ask him when I go to see the Khan at night, and I hope he can help find it." ”

Shi Zhan puffed out his cheeks, he hated Lin Qingwan, and he hated Lan Na, in his opinion, without Lin Qingwan, Youyun Liangzhou would not have been lost, if it wasn't for Lan Na not looking at people, they would have weight in their hands, and they would not be defeated in front of the Liang army.

Lan Na heard Lin Qingwan and Shi Zhan's words, her whole body trembled, her father and brother had died on the battlefield, because of her, her mother and sister-in-law and nephew were all arrested, following Lin Qingwan, she didn't know what would happen in the future, but she knew that if they were left in Liao, they would live worse than beasts in the future.

She couldn't help but kowtow again and again.

Lin Qingwan looked at her for a while, got up and walked to the front of the case, took a pen and wrote a contract, handed it to Shi Zhan and said: "This is the price I negotiated with the Khan today, you give this contract to the Khan for me, if there is no doubt, we will sign it, and we can trade it tomorrow." ”

He smiled again: "Whether you can find her family or not, please tell the Khan, since General Shi specially sent Lanna to me, he obviously thinks she is very useful, even so, I don't want her to be distracted by her family, thank you." ”
