The opportunity that Wei Lu was looking forward to has finally come.

The envoy of the Han Dynasty rushed to Chigu City, and before she reported it to Liu Ye, she already knew that Wei Lu had already sent someone to send her news, as if she didn't remember to help him.

This time, the Han bought a thousand high-quality horses from Wusun, ready to be used as war horses, and the envoy of the Han learned that Princess Xie Wei was in charge of supervising the construction in Chigu Castle, and she had never even seen Jun Sumi, so she came here directly to find her.

Since ancient times, the mother's family has been oriented to their own daughter, and such a good errand must of course let the princess of Xie Wu take credit, and it can't be cheaper for others.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there were no silver bills, and the main currency in circulation was the Han half tael, which was eight and a half baht taels and four baht and a half tael, as well as the wear-resistant five baht coins promoted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The economy and culture of the Han Dynasty are much more advanced than those of the Western Regions, and in addition, Zhang Qian made two envoys to the Western Regions to strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the two sides, and more and more people in the Western Regions are also accustomed to using five-baht coins.

In 119 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to launch the Battle of Mobei, and smashed the Yellow Dragon to annihilate the Xiongnu forces, the Han Dynasty at that time experienced Gaozu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu several dynasties to have the world's most powerful 100,000 elite cavalry, in order to ensure the complete victory of the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collected 40,000 horses from the people.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made every effort to prepare for war, and had a life-and-death posture with the Huns, Wei Qinghuo went to the sick and did not disgrace his mission, went deep into Mobei to severely damage the Huns, and drove the Huns thousands of miles away from Mobei, so that the Huns suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to invade the Central Plains. This campaign fundamentally reversed the passive situation and also eliminated the threat of the Xiongnu for more than a hundred years.

The Han Dynasty preserved the stability of the Central Plains, and after the Battle of Mobei, the losses were countless. Colleagues resting with the people, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's eyes were aimed at the Western Regions again, and the remnants of the Xiongnu gathered in the Western Regions.

If the Xiongnu subdued Wusun, Dawan and other countries, it was possible to become a threat to the Han again. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow this to happen in any case, but it was impossible to immediately conquer the Western Regions, so he could only adopt this roundabout tactic to gradually infiltrate the power of the Han Dynasty into the Western Regions, and then rule the entire Western Regions.

For the Han Dynasty at that time, the importance of horses is self-evident, and it is not easy for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to save this money to buy horses, you must know that at the market price at that time, the price of a horse is equivalent to a BMW 7 Series in Hyundai, and the cost of a thousand horses is indeed a big expense. But this 1,000 good horses are indeed what the Han needs, and they are more expensive, but fortunately, they are worth the money, and they can also breed and breed offspring in the Han in the future, and it is worth spending this money in the long run.

According to the rules of buying and selling, if the Han wanted to buy a thousand horses, he had to pay a deposit for 500 horses first, and the rest of the money would be paid off after receiving the goods. Therefore, the deposit brought by the Han envoy was calculated in boxes, totaling 500 boxes of money, and each box of money contained tens of thousands of coins.

Wei Lu's eyes were straight when he saw this box of coins being shipped to Akiti City, and he hated that he didn't have so many horses to sell, otherwise the money would be his. Of course, this is just his own sentimental idea, even if he has a thousand horses, Liu Ye will not hand over this business to him.

After receiving the news from Wei Lu, Liu Ye and the others immediately went out of the city to greet each other, and after seeing the envoy of the Han Dynasty, they tactfully explained the current situation in Wusun. The envoy naturally trusted Liu Ye, handed over the documents quite cooperatively, and acted according to her orders.

The five hundred boxes of money are outside Chigu City, waiting for Liu Ye to give an order to Ubuji or Wei Lu. Liu Ye knew that this matter could not be delayed, whether this deal went smoothly or not was related to her next plan, this was her first move, and she must not make a mistake.

Without waiting for Liu Ye to summon him, Wei Lu sent it to the door by himself, and as soon as he came, he said straight to the point: "Mrs. Right, you have already met the messenger of the Great Han!" Dahan made a generous move this time, how many horses are he estimated to buy? ”

Shizhong and Chang Hui both looked at him unpleasantly, and because of the temporary cooperation between the two sides, in addition to giving him white eyes, they couldn't give him fists. Wei Lu approached Liu Ye with a hippie smile, so he didn't care about their super big eyes, and he was a scoundrel.

Liu Ye took out the documents of the Han Dynasty and handed them to him, the numbers marked in Chinese and Western Regions respectively, Wei Lu could see it clearly, he was not a person who had never seen the world, but the hands holding the documents were trembling slightly: "One, a thousand horses......"

Wei Lu expected that this business would be very large, but he didn't expect it to be so big, whether it is for the Han people or the people of the Western Regions, horses are absolute luxuries, especially the good breed horses that can go to the battlefield. It is not easy for a well-off family to buy a good breed horse, and a large family can raise four or five good breed horses even if they have the capital to show off. Only those princely nobles who had independent horse farms could afford more than ten horses.

That is to say, the biggest business that Wei Lu has done so far is to sell more than a dozen good stalled horses at a time, and the rest are bits and pieces of retail investors, although he can sell a few good stallions a month, he can eat and drink spicy, but who doesn't want to make more money!

The concept of a thousand well-bred horses is equivalent to a red valley castle, and if he can do this business, he will be able to earn money that his Wei family's descendants will not be able to spend for several lifetimes. However, he did not have a thousand high-quality horses in his hands, and even if he returned to the Xiongnu to collect them, there would only be a few hundred at most that could be bought and sold, and it was impossible to sell the war horses reserved by the Xiongnu royal family. Besides, Liu Ye will not hand over this business to him alone.

Then again, he can get 500 good horses! is still inexhaustible in eating and drinking, if this deal is done, not to mention that the rich rival the country, there are few people who can compare with his Wei family in the entire Western Regions. Wei Lu had a wishful thinking in his heart, and looked at Liu Ye nervously, Liu Ye is still a Han after all, and there are no enough attractive benefits, can she let him, a Hun person, earn this money!

"Mrs. Right, you big man is really rich, you have experienced the battle of Mobei, but after more than ten years of work, you have almost a place to recuperate, as far as I know, plus this time, you have to have four horses, and each time is more than one time. It seems that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a new goal! Do you think Wusun would dare to sell so many horses to the big man? Jun Su Mi is not afraid that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty will ride Wusun's horse to kill him? ”

Wei Lu paid attention to every subtle expression on Liu Ye's face, and carefully returned the documents worth 10,000 gold to Liu Ye.

Liu Ye handed over the paperwork to Shizhong disappreciatively, and laughed easily: "Wei Gongzi said this, are you worried about the Huns?" I really didn't see it, it turns out that you are also a patriot! I don't think the king of Wusun is worried at all, he wants the Han to buy 2,000 horses, 3,000 horses, so that Wusun's treasury can be much fuller. In fact, even if Wusun's horses are sold, if the Han is ambitious, it will take a year or two to come and go. During this time, the king could do more with the money, and the fact that Wusun's horses were bred and were able to reach their original numbers was a good thing for him. ”

Wei Lu nodded again and again, he also understood this truth, he was a businessman, and he could live freely anywhere if he made enough money. Whether it is the Huns or Wusun, it has nothing to do with him who wins or loses. If there is a real fight in the future, he can go to Persia with his money, and maybe open up a larger market.

Wei Lu is a very direct person, and he is even faster enough to make money, he smiled flatteringly, nodded and said: "Mrs. Right, I know that Wusun has this strength, and it is not a problem to sell a thousand horses at one time." But I also have strength, our Xiongnu's high-quality horses are stronger than Wusun's, and I am willing to sell them to the Han at a price lower than the market price of Wusun, what do you think? ”

"Okay!" Liu Ye agreed and was also happy, squinted at him, and said with a smile, "You won't let me pick up this big bargain for no reason, tell me about your conditions!" ”

"I just like to deal with smart people!" Wei Lu's eyes flashed with blue light excitedly, and he leaned in front of Liu Ye and said, "The condition is that there must be enough for me to have five hundred horses, and I guarantee that the stallions and mares are evenly matched, you can rest assured!" ”

"Oh, five hundred horses, your breath is not small, and you took away half of Wusun's treasury at once!" Liu Ye pondered.

"Mrs. Right, as long as you agree, the difference between the two percent will be yours, Wei is so sincere, what else do you have to consider! Think about it, if you help Wusun make such a big deal, how much benefit can Jun Sumi give you, you are his wife, you should help him, not only will he not give you benefits, but he also takes it for granted. The treasury you rebuilt for Wusun will be left to Xu Qige and her son in the future, and you will be willing to make wedding dresses for others, let go of the benefits you have in vain, and achieve the great achievements of others? ”

As Liu Ye's "resentful woman", Wei Lu's words are to the point, even a woman can't tolerate her man taking her own money to other women, even if it's just a nominal man.

Liu Ye cooperated with a fierce look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you make a deal, I'll give you five hundred horses!" ”

Wei Lu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but applaud, only to hear Liu Ye turn and say: "But I also have a condition, when the time comes, you must let my people verify whether they are good breeders." I have said that these 500 horses must be of good breed and will not be allowed to be shoddy. ”

Wei Lu nodded like pounding garlic: "Hey, Mrs. Right, you can rest assured, how can I do that kind of work, just check your people, okay!" ”

Liu Ye and Wei Lu successfully reached an agreement, Liu Ye asked Shizhong to write a good document for him to sign, Wei Lu held the parchment scroll and read it over and over again, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and hurriedly signed his name.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ye asked Shizhong to imitate the documents of the Han Dynasty and remake a copy, changing the purchase of 1,000 Wusun horses to 500 horses. In this way, out of the 1,000 horses that the Great Han needed would be 500 from Wusun and 500 from Weilu.

Shizhong didn't quite understand why Liu Ye did this, he didn't think it was a good thing to help Wei Lu make money, Wei Lu was very ambitious, and he was a Huns. Help a wild wolf forage for food, will the wild wolf turn around and eat them!

Despite this, Shizhong still did it, he believed Liu Ye, even if he became the ancestor who made a fake certificate for this!
