Li Xianzhong thought that someone would send the silver directly, it seems that this horse market is really a good thing.

In fact, the horse market is an important means for the Ming Dynasty to maintain the stability of the frontier, initially just the imperial court in order to have a channel to obtain war horses, and now it has become an important trading market.

It's just that the imperial court has strict control over the amount of trade, so as to prevent the aliens from gaining too much material and becoming powerful.

The intention is naturally good, but these restrictions have also become a tool for the relevant departments to collect money.

Today's horse market involves the interests of all parties, and it is not something that Li Xianzhong, a general soldier of Kaiyuan, can eat, even if the Li family of Liaodong behind him is powerless.

The horse market did promote the prosperity of the border passes and the stability of the alien races, although the Ming Dynasty had many restrictions on the trade of the horse market, but after all, it was also an additional channel of exchange.

Without this passage, the Mongols and Jurchens would have had to meet their needs by plundering the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why these people took the initiative to send silver was because the horse market in Kaiyuan was the most important horse market in the entire eastern Liaodong, and there was no one.

At its most, the Ming Dynasty opened 8 horse markets in Liaodong.

They are: Guangning, Fushun, Kuandian, Qinghe, Liaoyang, and Kaiyuan's "three passes and three cities".

Now, due to the invasion of Jianzhou, the three horse markets of Fushun, Qinghe, and Kuandian no longer exist, and there is no possibility of recovery before the complete pacification of Jianzhou.

The three passes of Kaiyuan: Zhenbei Pass, Guangshun Pass, and Xin'an Pass are all relatively large.

Among them, Guangshun Guanma City is no longer possible to reopen due to its border with Jianzhou.

The remaining two Mashi towns, Beiguan, mainly traded with Yehe, while Xin'an Customs mainly traded with the Mongol ministries.

The imperial court has a special horse market agency to supervise and manage, and these positions have naturally become fragrant and sweet.

Obviously, these current horse market officials are not Li Xianzhong's people, or even the Li family in Liaodong.

They were either people from Marin, or people from the yamen of Liaodong or even the imperial court.

Judging from Marin's reluctance to restore the horse market, there are probably not many of his people.

The Ma family has been in Kaiyuan for many years, and it is difficult to completely control the horse market, which shows how big the interests behind it are?

Obviously, these two wanted to take advantage of Li Xianzhong's new takeover of Kaiyuan and come over to try their luck.

Although the Li family is the head snake of Liaodong, this Li general soldier is only 20 years old this year, and now he is proud, maybe this will happen.

But it was clear that they had miscalculated.

Li Xianzhong said: "The heart of serving the country outside the horse is really touching the general, and this 5,000 taels a month is not a small amount. ”

"It's a pity that now that the war in Liaodong is not over, when to open the horse market is not something that the general of Kaiyuan can decide. When it comes to the blockade of foreign races, it depends on the meaning of the imperial court. ”

"However, if the two wanted to trade goods, they could have helped to match, although the horse market did not know when it would open, and there were still merchants who could buy and sell. Without Zhang Butcher, you can't eat pigs with hair, right? ”

"Do you still have to do the errands of the imperial court?"

As soon as these words came out, the two knew that there was no play.

This Li Xianzhong and Ma Lin are the same raccoon dog, and they both want to get a piece from their own hands so that they can peel off a layer of skin.

However, Ma Yuanwai and Liu Gonggong's reactions were still different.

Gonggong Liu of the Imperial Horse Prison was obviously a little angry, with a straight face, as if to say that you dare not give face to our family.

Ma Yuanwai was obviously much more sophisticated and calm, but he still maintained a smiling face and said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Li for showing us businessmen a clear way, I don't know which big businessman has such energy?" ”

Although Ma Yuanwai knew that the businessman Li Xianzhong said was definitely just an agent, he himself was the real boss behind the scenes.

However, he still wants to know the name of the other party, so he can find out the details.

After all, these businessmen have saved a lot of contacts after many years of working at the border.

Li Xianzhong said: "His name is Liang San, and he is a businessman newly discovered by Benjin, and this person has some means. And honest and trustworthy, the price is fair, presumably the horse will be happy to cooperate with him. ”

At this time, the horse clerk had some doubts in his heart, there was no merchant in the Liaodong horse market or smuggling that he didn't know, and there was no one named Liang San among those merchants.

However, there is a trade steward named Liang San under his command, and I heard that he found a "big backer" a few days ago to make a fortune, and for this reason, Ma Yuan also scolded him for being a "white-eyed wolf".

Could it be that this "big backer" is Li Xianzhong?

For the sake of safety, Ma Yuanwai still asked: "Dare to ask this Liang San is a person in his thirties, with a thin figure and a black mole next to the left corner of his mouth?" ”

In fact, Li Xianzhong couldn't remember Liang San's appearance clearly, and his attention was all on Kong Youde at that time, but he still had some impressions of the mole next to the corner of his mouth.

It seems that this horse rider really has some magical powers, and he can even know such a small person as Liang San.

This made Li Xianzhong a little impressed by him!

Li Xianzhong said with a wicked smile: "That's right, it's this big businessman, it would be great if you knew each other." He also has a nephew named Kong Youde, I wonder if he can have an impression outside the horse? ”

Familiar with each other, he is naturally very familiar with Liang San.

Originally, he ran an errand under his hands, but now he has become the object of his own stuttering, which is really impermanent!

Ma Yuanwai said embarrassedly: "Liang Sanai and I are old acquaintances, and we will definitely cooperate happily." ”

Li Xianzhong added: "Don't blame Ben Jiang for talking too much, if it is tea, salt, farm tools or some daily necessities, Ben Jiang can still turn a blind eye here; But there must be no iron weapons, weapons and other things, otherwise don't blame Ben for being unkind. ”

Ma Yuanwai said: "General Li rest assured, we are all serious businessmen, and we will never give such a betrayal of state-owned assets!" ”

Zhu Chunchen saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing at this time, and hurriedly said, "Look, isn't this business negotiated?" ”

"Zhu Mou respects a few glasses, I wish you a happy cooperation and a wide range of financial resources!"

Several people also hurriedly raised their wine glasses and replied: "Thank you Cheng Guogong!" ”

Li Xianzhong said: "Since the two of them are friends of Cheng Guogong, they will naturally take care of them a lot; Marin's method of extracting the lion's head would have been heard of, so naturally he would not be as insatiable as him. ”

"Your goods only need to be transported to Kaiyuan, so that you don't have to worry about it later, whether you want to exchange it for goods or silver, after Liang San completes the transaction, he will definitely settle with you. It will be possible to guarantee that it will not exceed one month at the latest, and as for the income to be shared equally, do you think it is fair? ”

At this time, Gonggong Liu seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said: "Our imperial horse supervisor still has a lot of official affairs to deal with, so I will lose company first!"

And then he walked away!

This scene made Zhu Chunchen quite embarrassed.

Li Xianzhong said with a smile: "It's okay, the business is not lovely, I didn't expect this Liu Gonggong to be castrated, and the anger is still so big." ”

The horseman was also thinking quickly in his mind, although the income was divided equally, in fact, Li Xianzhong still took the lion's share, after all, the cost of the goods was paid by himself.

However, it is not without benefits, he has now stopped the horse market, and can only trade at the customs. The risk of leaving the customs is something that they businessmen cannot afford.

Although the profits are a lot thinner, there are still some profits, and the most important thing is that there is no risk.

They are still willing to do this kind of profitable business, after all, doing business can not only look at profits, but also see risks.

Ma Yuanwai said: "Mr. Li's method is feasible, and Ma is willing to cooperate with Liang San." ”

In fact, this is a win-win situation, although it is said that their goods outside the horse crew cost a lot more than Li Xianzhong's own purchase.

But he has no capital to trade, he doesn't need capital, and the goods are all someone else's; It also saves time on the road and the trouble of opening up various purchase channels.

For example, salt sales still need to be carried out in salt introduction, and these energy-consuming things are still done by businessmen like them.

In this way, he himself had a monopoly on half of the profits of all merchants other than the Kaiyuan Li family in bulk transactions with Mongolia, which was already very considerable.

After all, business needs to be done by everyone together, and one person can't make a fortune for a long time.

For the merchants, although the profit was less, the risk was almost passed on to Li Xianzhong, and the cost of trading with the Mongols and dealing with the officials of the horse market was eliminated, which greatly improved the efficiency of their shipments.

It is also an acceptable result.

Thinking about this, the horse crew didn't bother anymore, and soon he also took his leave.

At this time, Zhu Chunchen said: "Brother Li is really better than the blue, and he reformulated the trading rules so quickly, and your methods are even better than Ma Lin." ”

"But if you offend the Imperial Horse Supervisor today, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future, and I hope my brother will be more careful. This time I was thinking about my brother, but I didn't expect it to end up like this! ”

Li Xianzhong said: "Brother Zhu is also for the sake of the younger brother, so there is no need to mind." ”

"Brother Zhu rest assured, when the younger brother breaks through Hetuala, there will naturally be more Dongzhu sent to Jubaozhai."

Hearing Dongzhu, Zhu Chunchen's eyes lit up directly, and he said excitedly: "Then I wish my brother a great break, and our Dongzhu business will be more prosperous." ”

Li Xianzhong has also been delayed in the capital for a long time, and now the situation in Liaodong is complicated, after bidding farewell to Zhu Chunchen, he set off to return to Liaodong overnight.
