Sample, Lao Tzu can't hook you two dead eunuchs?

Chao Gai felt the fiery gaze and sneered in his heart. It was decided to continue to increase the bargaining chips and increase the temptation: "The two senior officials do not understand the local situation. The rich households I am talking about do not include Chao's Zhuangzi.

Half a year ago, when I went to Yuncheng for a banquet, Zhuangzi was attacked by that group of grass robbers, killing two or three hundred villagers, robbing all the livestock, burning more than 200,000 stone of grain, and suffering heavy losses. You think I can swallow this breath? ”

The two eunuchs were in a happy mood and were not in a hurry, and nodded their heads again and again while drinking tea. Unaware of the ridicule in the eyes of Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, and Lu Fang.

"In the past few months, the purchase of large and small ships, personally led the Zhuang Ke to collide with it and fight, but Jeju is a small place, and the governor of the state is also powerless, and the equipment is insufficient, so he came to Tokyo to rescue. No, this is the official document of Yuncheng Governor County, Jeju Prefecture Yi personally instructed. ”

The more Chao Gai spoke, the more excited he became, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, he turned around and took out two voucher seals issued by the government from the package, and handed them to the two eunuchs.

Cabinet Chief Yang and Pavilion Chief Wang took it and saw that sure enough, the official document recommended by the government on it was clearly written, and the paper and the bright official seal explained that it was true.

The two treacherous and cunning eunuchs looked at Chao Gai and then looked at the letters, and guessed! The angry bearded man in front of him is the king of Shandong Chaotian!

This sale will really make them a lot of money.

No wonder Ling Zhen, such a sloppy and upright person, would take the initiative to find them, saying that he had a shocking wealth that could empty his inventory for many years.

Chao Gai watched and listened to all directions, and caught a glimpse of the expressions of the two out of the corner of his eye. knew that his identity was mostly hidden from the two old fritters in officialdom. I don't plan to hide it, it's just profitable to talk to smart people about business.

"Hey, two big officials, you probably guessed who I am. It is really a strong man who is rampant, and he has to organize a strong man to resist, but after several battles, the loss is not small, the clothes and armor are not complete, and he hopes to be accommodating. At the end, Chao Gai bowed to the two eunuchs.

"Don't be polite to the big officials, in order to exterminate the thieves, our family will definitely do our best to help." This is the big money lord, Pavilion Chief Yang, and Pavilion Chief Wang dare not put on a show. They all held their hands on each other, and their faces showed a strange complaint.

"I have also heard in the deep palace that the big officials have defeated the bandits many times to ensure the safety of the people on the side of the party, so I rushed to this, how can I do it with a little armor?"

The two sides met again, and after sitting down again, the relationship became familiar. The three of them tasted tea and ate pastries, praised again and again, talked and laughed, like old friends.

Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, and Ling Zhen were stunned when they saw this. Especially the thundering thunder Ling Zhen, how could he not know that the eunuchs in the palace were very arrogant, especially the Yang Pavilion Chief, who rarely saw such a kind attitude.

"Two, Jeju, Yunzhou more than 20 Zhuangzi, counting Chao's Zhuangzi. With so much money gathered, he counted on Chao to bring back the armor. Chao Gai talked about business again, only worried that the two eunuchs were bragging.

"There is a lot of demand for so many Zhuangzi, I don't know how much the two of you can get?"

The two eunuchs exchanged ears, and the chief of the royal pavilion said: "The two of us have accumulated only seven or eight hundred sets of iron armor, two or three thousand sets of leather armor, and more than three thousand sets of paper armor. ”

Chao Gai was a little disappointed when he heard that there were only a few hundred sets of iron armor, but fortunately, there were a lot of leather armor and paper armor, but it was better than nothing, and this trip was not in vain.

But then Pavilion Chief Yang's words stirred his heart.

Because I saw that the eunuch put down the teacup, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "There are definitely not enough private goods, but the armor of the armor can't be misappropriated." Borrow it first, and then replace it later. ”

"Will this be discovered?" Chao Gai hesitated, but he admired this dead eunuch in his heart, he really had brains for money, and he did this kind of thing less.

Pavilion Chief Yang didn't know what confidence he had, and he only had a disdainful smile on his face: "Don't worry, no one dares to come to check the inventory of the Inner Court's workshop." We dare to guarantee that many places dare not say that it is not a problem to borrow thousands of sets of iron armor. ”

"Oops, thank you so much!" Chao Gai was overjoyed, and said hesitantly: "The two big officials don't know, more than half a month ago, Zhao Xianggong of Yunzhou said that the imperial court approved the official document to forcibly requisition the Chaofu wharf and more than 200 large and small warships. Temporary change of generals......"

Chao Gai used nine points of truth and one point of falsehood to mention the matter of the night attack on the dock. The more than 200 ships that had been accumulated over the past few months were all gone.

"Well, there's such a thing?" The two eunuchs looked at each other in surprise. As a palace attendant, I wonder if the imperial court has an approval document? But the doubts didn't last long, and the focus was on buying and selling.

"The big officials want to buy a boat?" Yang Gechang touched his chin.

"Exactly, you can't encircle the thieves without a ship. There are at least dozens of ships between 500 and 2,000 materials, and the price will definitely satisfy the two of them. In addition, if there is a god arm bow and a bed crossbow, Chao also wants to ......"

Before Chao Gai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the exclamations of two eunuchs: "What? Divine Arm Bow? Bed ballista, this is strictly forbidden by the imperial court......"

It's just that the two pavilion chiefs didn't finish their words either, and they stopped abruptly like a rogue duck pinching his throat. Because they saw Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, and Lu Fang coming over with a big box, the lid had been opened, and the big gold ingots of fifty taels were neatly placed, shining with golden light.

The glow of gold is intoxicating, as if the private rooms are gilded with a layer of gold. Where had Lei Lingzhen seen him like this, and his expression was a little sluggish. looked at Chao Gai, who was not heartbroken at all, and admired his courage.

"The two cabinet chiefs, Chao really needs an armored warship, and he came with enough sincerity. This is just a deposit, and the big head will be several times more. Chao Gai pointed to the three large boxes of gold ingots, and smiled sincerely and cunningly.

I'm afraid that there will be as many as 10,000 taels, and two more eunuchs will look at the gold directly. When the Yang Pavilion Chief heard the question, he grinned and touched his chin.

"This is really embarrassing for our family, and we can only trouble my father-in-law and his old man."

Chao Gai wondered that the eunuch still had his father-in-law, so Ling Zhen stepped forward and whispered. Immediately, his face was full of surprise, and his gaze at Pavilion Chief Yang changed.

Unexpectedly, there is a big Buddha behind this guy, Yang Jian, the number one eunuch in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, no wonder he has the confidence to say that he embezzled something.

"Yang Gong, please leave everything to you!" Chao Gai bowed his hand respectfully. If we don't grasp this way of forming a party and running a private business at this time, when will we wait?

Male, this title is amazing, how many people can afford it?

Yang Gechang said that he didn't dare to be, but his face bloomed with a smile. grabbed a few ingots of gold and put them down, and gave Zhun Xin: "Okay, the big officials are so sincere, and they are for the purpose of suppressing bandits, then our family will have a big one." ”

Ling Zhen reminded him that although this person is greedy, he has a very good reputation. If you collect money, you will do things and talk about credibility, and you have never harmed anyone for more than ten years.

Chao Gai's heart blossomed, and he hugged his fists to thank him for saying good things by the way: "Two big officials, the deposit will be given first, and the balance will be settled in person, and there will be no arrears." ”

"Hehehe, this is easy to say." After a few boxes were covered, Pavilion Chief Yang took the initiative to propose: "Aren't the big officials suppressing bandits?" The armored warships are complete, it is better to buy a group of good horses to form cavalry, and it is easy to exterminate the thieves. ”

"Oh, Yang Gong didn't say that I wanted to go to the north in the spring." Chao Gai was stunned and then overjoyed, Chaojiazhuang's lack of war horses was his heart disease.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Bianliang City, he could still buy a war horse, which made him a little puzzled.

"Yang Gong, isn't the imperial court short of war horses?"

"Lack of horses? It depends on what the situation is. Yang Gechang smiled meaningfully.

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up, the people above said that if there is a shortage, there is a shortage, and if there is no shortage, there is a shortage. The Western army that charged into battle, the border army had no horses to replenish.

The one above the court is so mediocre!

As a soldier in later generations, he really didn't know about the eliminated horses. It was only at this point that I gradually remembered the remarks I had read on the Internet.

The Song Dynasty lacked war horses? Don't be funny, okay?

The actual situation is: the Song Dynasty did not lack a place to raise horses, let alone war horses, what the emperor and ministers lacked was a fighting spirit, they only had suspicion of the border generals, afraid of another Chenqiao mutiny.

The Song Dynasty had at least 100,000 good horses, and the Merry Emperor thought that the world was too peaceful and did not allocate them to the front-line troops, but stayed in the suburbs of Beijing to feed the pampered Praetorian Guards! This has led to a shortage of horses in the front-line army and among the people.

Pavilion Chief Yang was in a very good mood, and said a few more words with a smile: "The Imperial Horse Supervisor of Mutuogang outside Bianliang City, there are many horses, if the big officials need it, I will also say hello to my uncle, and it is not difficult to take away two or three thousand horses." ”

"Then thank you Yang Gongfu for taking care of it." Chao Gai was busy thanking him, and he was numb in a good mood. And the dusty memory is also clear, remembering Mu Huogang.

This place is an important base for the Northern Song Dynasty to hoard grain, after the Jin people beat down, it is recorded that more than 20,000 strong war horses were found, as well as a mountain of granaries, millions of stone grain, the Jurchens ate enough to be planted in the Northern Song Dynasty.

If such a court is not finished, what is the reason of heaven?

Chao Gai thought of the tragedy when Jin Bing went south, and he was very happy to think of the deal, although he was rich, he hugged his fists and thanked him and did not forget to cry poor: "Two big officials, be considerate, please give a preferential price." ”

"Hehehe, this is nature!" The two eunuchs smiled and nodded.

After pondering for a while, the chief of the Yang Pavilion for the Lord said skillfully: "Twenty rounds of iron armor, ten times of leather armor, five times of paper armor, thirty times of horses, two times of strong bows, two thousand pieces of warships, two thousand rounds of warships, a divine arm bow, and a bed crossbow......"

Chao Gai has a lot of business dealings with the government, and Ling Zhen reminds him by the side. Knowing that the cost of iron armor is forty times, leather armor is twenty times, paper armor costs ten times, and equipment such as strong bows and crossbows cost a lot of money, and now this Yang Pavilion Chief has directly come to a half-half discount, and he is not distressed at all when he has no capital to buy.

Next, Chao Gai and the two eunuchs discussed the types of iron armor and transportation matters over tea. It was finally decided to load directly into the ship and hand over at the dock. Pavilion Chief Yang also specially reminded to prepare more money, and the amount may be more.

When the two sides were finalized, it was getting dark outside. The two eunuchs claimed that it was inconvenient, politely declined the banquet, and let the entourage carry the boxes and leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw a gold ingot to Ling Zhen.

said that this is a benefit fee, look at it, the quality of eunuchs is exquisite!
