Chapter 121: Closing the Deal

The sale of horses to the Great Song Dynasty in Western Xia was a matter of opening the heavens and the earth for the Great Song Dynasty, so Wu Jue's attitude took a big turn. Thinking about it, in front of this church, it is not a place to talk about this kind of thing, and said to Gao Chong:

"Come on, let's change places."

The big pillar followed behind Gao Pet. Gao Zhong and Dazhu walked for a while, and walked through a garden before arriving at Wu Jue's study. The environment here is quiet, plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums are still fresh buds, and even better is that there is a mountain water passing through this garden, which is really a good place. I can't think of a military general who still has this hobby.

Re-brewed tea and sat down, Da Zhu and Wu Jue's guards stood at the door, and there were also figures shaking outside the window of Shufang, surrounded by Wu family guards.

"I am entrusted by the princess of Xingguo County of the Western Xia Kingdom to be fully responsible for the transaction between the princess and your army. This is the Princess's Power of Attorney. ”

Gao Chong took out the power of attorney and gave it to Wu Jue, and there were two big seals on it, one was the seal of the princess of Xingguo, and the other was the seal of the princess of the prison country.

"There's no talk of horses here."

"Lord Wu, there are some things that can be done and cannot be said."

"Oh yes. How do you sell this horse? ”

"To be exact, it's a change."

"What does Xixia want to change?"

"Grain. Only grain for it! ”

Wu Jue listened to Gao Pet's request for food, and fell into deep thought, this food is a strategic material, and there is food at home, so he is not panicked. This Sichuan is the land of abundance, rich in grain, but this food supply is not afraid of much, in case there is a famine, war, now there is a war, so every ruler attaches great importance to food production. Though there have been years of abundant harvest in the production of this grain, there is no excess that has rotted out. Sometimes, you can still squeeze it out.

But the Western Xia is a subject country of Dajin, and the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty have also fought for hundreds of years, and now the Great Song Dynasty is weak and has something to do with the Western Xia, so that the Western Xia has food, it is difficult to say what the result will be.

"Virtuous nephew, we can exchange such goods as cloth, silk, and tea, or pay copper, gold, and silver."

"Cloth, silk, and tea can be exchanged for my green salt or other specialties of Western Xia, but not for horses. Horses can be said to be the weapon of the country, and they should not be easily dealt with. ”

"I have just won the battle, and I have more than 10,000 horses, and there is no shortage of horses. Besides, I guard this southwest, the gateway of the river, and I have this natural danger, which is more suitable for this infantry archers. ”

Wu wanted horses, but he didn't want to exchange them for grain, even though he had food too.

"Since the adults are not interested in this horse, but in addition to the horse, we can also communicate with each other in other aspects, and I have come from a long distance, and it is not easy for the adults to have any intention to talk?" Gao Zhong knew that this Wu Jue was just taking a fight, or he really didn't want to exchange it for food. But Gao Zhong is not a fool, so he doesn't mention the matter of horses, and talks about the opening of this port.

The two sides talked for a while, Wu Jue heard that Gao Zhong didn't talk about horses again, and he was a little anxious, if he really let the officials know, even if he let these generals in Song know that if they don't buy horses, they won't be cut into meat sauce, Wu Jue himself will doubt it. Even if you don't buy it to fight, it's good to use it to cultivate land.

Wu Jue is really not short of horses? He had long wanted to build a horse army, but a few days ago he attacked and assaulted at night, and he added Liu Qi's horse army of less than 5,000 people, although he recently added more than 10,000 horses, he could only build a horse army of about 8,000 people, and what about the future? He thought. But in this way, he was really unwilling to exchange the food supply for Gao Pet.

Seeing that the time is almost up, I can't talk about it today, and this meeting can only end here.

When it came to the issue of Tongshi, the two sides did not have any opinions, and he was not ignorant of the intentions of the imperial court.

Although Gao Pet wanted to get this done as soon as possible, it was not so simple to do this big business. I didn't go back to Yang's house at night, and stayed in Xingzhou City.

Although Dazhu didn't know what the outcome of the negotiation was, he was very dissatisfied with Wu Jue's attitude. I can't help but complain:

"Without our support, he Wu can beat the Golden Vulture? Even if you can hold this immortal pass, it is impossible to win so easily. He was given all the things in the Golden Vulture Technique, and he didn't see him say a word of thanks. ”

"Dazhu, don't talk nonsense here, what do you have to say."

To be honest, the nucleus between the two sides is slowly breeding in this way.

This Xingzhou city is not big, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the city, which is not as good as Tongling. They will turn around for a while, it is rare that the scenery of the Jialing River is good, the fishing sails on the river come and go, the Jialing River and the two estuaries sandwich the Xingzhou city in it, forming a cross. This is also a wonder of Xingzhou.

I waited for two days, and on the third day, Wu Jue asked Gao Pet to talk again.

"The virtuous nephew is here? , In the past two days, Lord Ben has been too busy, and the hospitality is not good, and the hospitality is not good. ”

"My lord, my lord's Xingzhou scenery is unique, everything is beautiful, and there is a thriving trend, so that I will not forget to return." Gao Chong also followed Wu Jue and said that this is not nutritious.

"Sheltered by the dragon vein of the Qinling Mountains, the south of China is rich in products, the climate is mild and humid, and this Hanzhong is of course not the same as Guanzhong and Hexi. Last time, the virtuous nephew said that this horse could be sold, oh, it can't be exchanged, I don't know how many horses can be exchanged? ”。 Haha After fighting, this Wu Jue is straight to the point, or has some military style.

"I don't know how many horses do you need, sir? There are still not many words. ”

"But 10,000?"

"This is the first time we have done it, this 10,000 horses is too much, and two or three thousand horses are still possible." This business is still growing, and it is naturally impossible for Gao Pet to sell so much together, first, this large number of horses is not easy to do, and the target is too big, so a small batch of many times is a better way to trade. Besides, the variables brought about by various military-political scenarios are too great.

"Okay, three thousand horses first." Is there so much food or money in it? Although Wu Jue has the name of sheep in Sichuan and Shaanxi, it is also in Hanzhong. But Hanzhong became a scorched earth last year.

"What kind of horse do you want, do you know how much this horse is worth?"

"Tang horse, Hetao horse, isn't this horse eighteen or nineteen one?"

"Lord Wu, that is the price of the Xuanhe period, and it is the price of the domestic horse in the Central Plains, and this horse can be a plow and a cart, but it is not good to use it for war. Now that this is a time of war, this is worth a lot of money. ”

"I have Nanfan horses, Hetao horses, and Yanqi horses here"

"This Yanqi horse is a good horse from the Western Regions, and I don't dare to ask for more price in the future, it's just a cost, the price is eighty stones, and it will take a little time. Nanfan horses and Hetao horses are the best Tang horses, which are in stock and cost seventy stones. ”

This is calculated for a three-year-old healthy horse, and the grain is, of course, priced at wheat. At that time, the money was about two stone of grain.

"Okay, just 3,000 Hetao horses, where will they be delivered?" Wu Jue asked.

"Three thousand Hetao horses cost 210,000 stone of grain, even if 200,000 stone is good, the first business, this 10,000 stone will be discounted."

The delivery was set at Niyang, Chengzhou, and the grain arrived at the handover. Cut within a month.

After talking about business, it was a bit painful to take out 200,000 stone of grain. Thank God that they can give it to you, and besides, these are authentic and good horses.

"My lord, I want to make it convenient for you here."

"Oh, what does the virtuous nephew have to say."

"I want to go back to Tongling during this time, I have a group of Gao family children and old Song people who want to borrow the Tao and go home through Hanzhong, can't I?"

"How many centaurs?"

"Six thousand five."

"Six thousand five?" Wu Jue opened his mouth.
