Chapter 38: Buying Horses in the East Market, the New Turkic King!
Xiang Yan's eyebrows trembled.
Turkic traders poured into the local horse market in large numbers?
It's not its territory!
Something has changed?!
And......
Their way of trading is that they don't want gold and silver!
As long as the grain and grass.
So it seems!
The answer is already on the horizon!
"Load 50,000 quintals of grain! Come with me to Jingshi East City! ”
"Let's go now!"
Xiang Yan turned over and got on the horse!
Completely ignoring the feelings of the cheap dad.
50,000 quintals of grain!
That is, 3 big carriages were put in!
After all, the carriage of the uncle's mansion can be loaded with a single one.
Looking at Xiang Yan's distant back, Xiang Guozhong and Xiang Kuo only felt empty in their hearts!
"You go on."
"What else did you find in the horse market?"
"What is the market price for which they sell their horses? Are there any other types of livestock besides horses? ”
Get out the door!
Xiang Yan's smile directly hung on the corner of his mouth, and a series of questions were asked!
"Childe, it's me who is incompetent."
"The merchant said, "When they see the grain, they will not sell it except the horses......
Interesting.
I still have to see the price of grain.
Moreover, they wandered into the territory of Dazhou, and did not sell meat and livestock!
He actually started buying and selling horses.
It's so much fun!
It seems!
Nine times out of ten, there is a large-scale conflict in the Turkic territory!
Even war!
The Turkic side was mostly cavalry and less infantry.
A war is fought!
There are at least a few thousand, good performance war horses roaming around.
At that time, if there were a few masters of horse training!
Then this is equivalent to picking up money for nothing!
It's just that your old Turk met the master, and he still let you grab the cheap?!
.....
Horse Market.
Today's market is different from the past.
Recently, there have been a lot of Turkic merchants.
And it is especially popular with the noble sons in the capital.
The northern war horses have a strong temperament and strong ability, and there are few benign horses in the Great Zhou that can compete with them.
However, there are many people who come to see, but there are not many transactions.
The Turkic merchants were also a little confused.
Shouldn't the territory of the Great Zhou be rich in grain?
How can the people here be poor, all that is left is gold and silver?!
"Hey!"
"Horse dealer, how do you sell your horses?"
A crisp sound instantly exploded in front of the horse dealer.
Look up!
is also the appearance of a noble son with fine skin and tender meat.
However, unlike some of the nobles who came before him, this one was honest and honest, to the point of resembling them Turkic.
"Hey!"
"If you don't see grain and grass, you don't talk about the price!"
The Turkic merchant replied with a heavy accent.
Xiang Yan waved his hand!
The family put three large carriages in front of the merchant.
According to Xiang Yan's general estimate!
There should be at least 10,000 Turkic horses in the entire horse farm!
If you can really use these 50,000 loads of grain to take down these 10,000 Turkic horses!
That's a lot of money!
Moreover, if this horse is hoarded and maintained, maybe when the war spreads in the future, it will be able to collect wool from the Great Zhou Dynasty once!
Why not!!
"It's shocking!"
"My noble son! Aren't you the rich kid who paid 100,000 dollars a night? ”
The Turkic merchant spoke amazingly.
Xiang Yan was also stunned!
Are you already that famous?
Old iron abroad, all know their heroic deeds?
"How do you know?"
The Turkic horse merchant had a little more pride on his face.
"That's right."
"Those sons of the capital, they left after seeing the horses."
"If you have to buy it with gold and silver, I said let them exchange it for food, and they will all have it."
"Then I asked, who is the richest prince in the capital, they said that there is a son named Xiang Yan, 100,000 gold a night, he is the richest!"
The tone of the Turkic horse merchant directly changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
I was coaxing just now!
Now groveling like a licking dog.
Xiang Yan smiled awkwardly!
It's true to the old saying:
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!
"Alright, let's talk nonsense."
"I've got food, you've got horses, it's time to tell me the price!"
Xiang Yan pursed his lips, he hated this kind of wall grass the most in his life, and he had no integrity.
"Oops! You revert to the unruly appearance you had just been. ”
"Otherwise, I won't buy this horse at your house."
When the Turkic merchant heard this, he immediately regained his previous face.
"Look, is this okay?"
Xiang Yan was silent, just nodded.
Followed by!
The Turkic horse merchant took Xiang Yan and walked towards the horse farm behind him, explaining to him as he walked!
"Childe, look at our horses, all of them are fat and strong!"
"These are all horses coming down from the battlefield!"
Xiang Yan snorted lightly!
He had already seen everything.
It seems that the situation within the Turks has indeed been chaotic.
"Battlefield?"
"There is a war going on inside the Turks?"
Xiang Yan suddenly asked!
The Turkic horse merchant nodded and said:
"It is precisely because of the war that I have the opportunity to receive so many war horses."
"Within the Turks, there is a new king who has appeared, and his strength is very strong."
"Now the Turkic territory is falling apart!"
As soon as these words came out!
Xiang Yan suddenly realized.
The new Turkic king!
Isn't this the agent of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past?!
Seemingly!
Zhao Longji is not a faint gentleman who is completely addicted to alcohol and has nothing to do......
In such a short period of time!
To carry out the agent program to this point, he is really a capable person.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Let's talk about business."
"The three carts of grain behind me have 50,000 loads."
"Right now, there is a shortage of food in Dazhou, and these horses of yours are only worth 50,000 quintals."
Xiang Yan changed his words and directly put forward the idea of exchanging three carts of grain for 10,000 horses.
"Hey!"
"Childe!"
"It can't be!"
"I have 10,000 Turkic war horses, and I need at least 200,000 loads of grain!"
Xiang Yan smiled crookedly!
It seems that this Turkic merchant is not stupid, and knows some market prices.
But...... He's not that smart.
In the capital boundary of the horse for grain, do not go out to inquire, which landlord around the capital still has surplus grain!
Even if there is!
And who can afford 200,000 loads of grain?!
"Just 50,000 loads of grain."
"Isn't there more?"
"There is a shortage of grain in Dazhou, if you don't sell it, I dare to guarantee that these horses of yours will starve to death and won't be able to sell them."
Xiang Yan spoke in a very low tone and spoke very slowly, inadvertently, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The Turkic horse merchant looked at which horses were behind him.
Regardless of anything else, just feeding these war horses will cost thousands of loads of grain and grass a day!
After staying in the capital for a few days, I can't afford to feed it!
In the end, Ma Shangchang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said:
"50,000 quintals of grain, sold!"
Xiang Yan didn't say a word!
Directly on the contract, pen and ink blood imprint.
Forthwith!
He said to the family behind him:
"Hurry up the organization of people and horses, and place 10,000 war horses in the stables in the suburbs."
"If the stables aren't enough, buy more!"
