Chapter 102: Windfall

Bao Qing was very satisfied with this transaction, but the question came again, how to deal with these twenty truckloads of grain?

"My lord, is this Liao really crazy? Not only is the grain precious, but the horse is an important military material, and the Liao people usually prohibit the sale of horses to the Great Song Dynasty. I didn't expect to have so many good horses today. Zhang Long said.

Bao Qing really didn't realize this problem, twenty carts of grain, basically two horses pulled together. If you calculate it like this, you can make a lot of money in this business. This pound of tea can be exchanged for such military supplies, but I am afraid that those important ministers of the DPRK and the central government never thought that they could do this business when they drank tea.

"Let people contact Commander Li and find a way to transport the grain and horses back. At the same time, inform him and ask him to pull out the camp and approach the Yizhou grain road, and try to support us at any time. ”

"Yes, sir! I'll do it! Zhang Long responded.

"Brother Bao, I really didn't expect that they would really exchange grain for tea." Cao Yun sighed.

"Drinking tea is addictive, especially this Liao people, who eat meat all day long, believe that there is too much fat in the stomach and intestines, and drinking an appropriate amount of tea can help them clean their stomachs. Of course, the tea tastes good. Haha, I'm also when it's a drink! Bao Qing said nonsense namelessly, and Cao Yun was stunned for a moment.

Along the way, although the weather was cold, Cao Yun was obviously slightly excited, and kept asking this and that.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

"What did you find? So panicked! Seeing that the detective was very anxious, Zhang Long couldn't help asking.

"My lord, I found a caravan of the Song people not far away, but the scouts sent by the caravan also saw us, and the other party seemed to be very scared, and as soon as he found me, he turned around and ran!"

"Since it is the Song people who see the Song people, they are all their own people anyway, so they should not be afraid, is there any problem? Zhang Long, you bring some people to take a look, and at the same time order everyone to prepare for battle. Bao Qing said.

As soon as the herald gave the order, all the soldiers put their bows and crossbows in their arrow boxes and placed them in the wagons to hide.

Zhang Long pulled out the long Mo knife from the horse's back, tore off the cloth wrapped outside, clamped the horse's back with both legs, clasped the Mo knife with one hand, the horse neighed, and galloped away with more than a dozen crossbowmen.

……

Let's say that the scouts sent by the thirteen princes reported that they had discovered the caravan of the Song people, and the words had just fallen, and from a distance, you could see that Zhang Long had already caught up with a team of men and horses.

"Where is this caravan? It's cavalry! Dig up the guys and get ready to fight! Hu Fei shouted.

"No, if the other party is an army, there must be reinforcements nearby, and if we are discovered, we will not be able to escape at all. Now we can only continue to pretend to be a business trip, and everyone hides all the weapons! Fast. The Thirteenth Prince said anxiously.

After a while, Zhang Long and his soldiers had arrived in front of him.

"Who are you? Where is this going to go? Zhang Long immediately raised his sword and asked loudly.

When the thirteenth prince heard this, he had no choice but to drive forward to answer.

"We are businessmen near Bazhou, and we took the goods to Yizhou to sell, and we want to exchange them for a good price."

"Don't you know that Song Liao is at war? Aren't you afraid of encountering any accidents? Open the cargo box and take a look. Zhang Long shouted.

Although the thirteenth prince was a little reluctant, he still opened the box. Zhang Long looked at it, it was just some cloth. Zhang Long didn't check all the boxes one by one, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, be careful on the road!" With that, he took the people away.

"Looking at the appearance of this young general, it should be a border army, and there are more than a dozen people behind who are crossbowmen, fortunately we were not exposed, otherwise it would be troublesome." The Thirteenth Prince said.

Zhang Long returned to Bao Qing, just an ordinary caravan.

"Why is this great Song businessman so desperate to make money? These two countries are at war, and they still have the interest and courage to directly cross the war zone to sell goods! Bao Qing couldn't help but think that if it was in his own time, once the two countries were at war, they should have evacuated overseas Chinese quickly, stopped all commercial activities, and could not exchange their lives for money.

Of course, the more dangerous it is, the more profitable it is to return on the goods sold. Just like yourself, sell some luxury goods such as tea.

"Have you inspected the goods? They were beaten by the cold and war all the way to Yizhou to do business, what did they sell? Bao Qing was a little curious.

"It's like cloth." Zhang Long said.

"Oh."

"Haha, what a fool, what kind of money can you make with cloth in Yizhou? The margins are too thin. Why don't you sell some porcelain and tea? After hearing this, Cao Yun laughed.

Bao Qing heard Cao Yun laughing, and at first felt that what Cao Yun said made some sense, but then he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said: "No, this caravan is weird!" Let's go, all get on the horse, and we'll chase it and see. Find out what kind of caravan it is! ”

The thirteenth prince just thought that he had gotten rid of the trouble, but he never thought that the trouble he had just gone would now catch up again. Zhang Long took Bao Qing's order and knew that he was negligent, so he chased after him again and ordered the soldiers to surround the caravan.

"What does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, you wait a minute, wait for our family to come and ask!" Zhang Long replied.

"Your lords?"

Suddenly, there were more cavalry behind the soldier, and a young man dressed as a merchant drove forward and laughed loudly: "Their adult is me, Bao Qing!" Don't come to the prince? ”

Bao Qing recognized the thirteen princes at a glance, and he was overjoyed, as the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. This tea for grain deal is really worth it, and there is an unexpected harvest.

"Is that you? Lord Chinchabao? "The thirteenth prince is really shocked.

His bodyguard, Hu Fei, and a group of guards showed their weapons one after another and protected the Thirteen Princes.

"Protect the prince and prepare to rush out!" That Hu Fei roared.

"Don't move, you don't want to live? My hundred or so are crossbowmen, and if you dare to move, they will shoot you into a hornet's nest at once. Bao Qing said.

"They all put down their weapons, and this king admitted it, but this king really didn't expect that Master Bao actually had such a skill, and he actually chased him out of the border pass. Since Lord Qincha has received the emperor's order, and this king doesn't want you to be embarrassed, you can do whatever you want! This king just hopes that Lord Bao can spare this king's entourage, they have worked hard to follow this king for many years, but this king has nothing left for them! Ay! The Thirteenth Prince sighed.

"Lord Wang!" The guards all shouted in grief.

"Lord Wang, I also want to ask you for one thing! See if you can persuade this Liao army to leave! So that General Cao can be released. ”

"This, I'm afraid this king doesn't have this ability."

"In that case, then it is offended! Zhang Long, all unloaded their weapons and took them away. Bao Qing said coldly.
