Manager Cui was cage of his hands in his long sleeves, passing through more than a dozen tents, and came to a white cowhide tent, slowing down.

"Shopkeeper Li, I am Lao Cui, can I come in?"

"Please come in!" Manager Li's voice was filled with respect.

Manager Cui opened the curtain to enter the account, but immediately bowed to the young Manager Li.

Manager Li was gently wiping a horizontal knife. There were more than ten people sitting in his lower head, but they were all leaders in the guards. He waved his hand gently at Manager Cui, "I agreed that I am Manager Li outside this frontier."

"Yes, yes!" Manager Cui quickly responded in a low voice. Even though he was like this, he still maintained respect. The person in front of him was not the nephew of the third wife of the Cui family, Zhang Gun Li, but the officer arranged by Shuai Shuai in his caravan. Although he did not know the true identity of Shuai Shuai, he knew that this person was a general trusted by Shuai Shuai.

This time the caravan was actually organized by the town ** Li Dashui. Although he and more than a dozen caravan leaders who often traveled outside the frontier were old acquaintances, this trip was actually asked by the coach Li. All the goods and guards were from the town **, and only a dozen of them were real merchants.

He didn't know what Li Dashui was going to do, but he dispatched 3,000 people at a time and mobilized so many merchants to the subway. It was impossible to be as simple as actually doing business with the Khitans. However, he also knew that he would not ask what he should not ask, and did not say what he should not say. Before he set off, the head of the Cui family also warned him to obey the orders of the shopkeeper Li.

When he was in Dengzhou, he keenly saw that the town was mobilizing for combat preparations, and the scale of the mobilization was definitely preparing to fight a major war. The head of the family also mentioned that this time it was to send troops to Liaodong. The Goguryeo people in Liaozhong are now unable to protect themselves, and they do not need to dispatch too much troops to deal with them. Therefore, the shopkeeper Cui vaguely guessed in his heart that this time it might be that the drunkard was not about wine. On the surface, it was to deal with the Goguryeo people, but the real thing should be to target the Khitans, with the goal of regaining the territory of the Andong Protectorate.

He speculated along the way that perhaps this "caravan" came to spy on intelligence or assassinate the Khitan leader. Although the future was dangerous, he had no choice.

Manager Li put the knife into the sheath, poured a cup of hot tea for Manager Cui, handed it over, and smiled gently, "How about it, the Khitan leaders have finished arguing?"

Manager Cui smiled and nodded. The goods brought by the caravan this time were indeed popular. This was the first time he saw these Khitan nobles fighting for so much regardless of their face, as if a wolf was fighting for meat.

"After fighting for a long time, the wine was finally distributed. The wine was divided into four portions, and the two men of Bala Khan and Yelu Yande's son-in-law were divided equally, and the remaining half was divided equally. The other 18 parts were also distributed. The other silk, silk, porcelain, glass ornaments, etc. were also distributed."

This time the caravan had a lot of goods, but almost all were luxury goods and consumables. There was no iron and sword armor in the past transactions. This disappointed the Khitans. The Khitans had just begun to settle down and farm. The population is now growing rapidly. The Khitans are constantly fighting and demanding weapons and armor, but the Khitans are not good at smelting and have to buy a large amount of iron tools from the Central Plains, Bohai Sea, Silla and even the Western Regions every year.

In the past, the Khitans mainly bought iron tools from Duli Town and other places. Manager Cui entered the subway every year, and the biggest selling goods were iron tools, followed by tea, silk, porcelain and other items.

After hearing this, Manager Li just smiled.

"I explained to them that the wars in some places this year were so they were so powerful that they were checked on the roads, so they didn't carry them. Bala Khan and others also discussed with me. They said that they would ask me to get another batch before the New Year. They said that no matter how many, they were willing to buy them at a high price. They also wanted to buy Qianli Mirror and Shenhuo."

"Hahaha!" Manager Li laughed.

These Khitans have a good idea, but this caravan is the best in the town. How could they sell their weapons and armor? Tea, wine, perfume, glass, porcelain, silk and other things in order to exchange for cattle, horses and other things, and iron tools, and only fools will sell them.

"Since the Khitans have allocated the share of goods purchase, have the transaction price been negotiated? What are the Khitans using to trade?" asked Manager Li.

The caravans who came to Khitan to trade would not charge money. They basically bartered from goods. They transported all kinds of goods from the Central Plains, and after they were sold, they exchanged them for various cattle, horse and leather goods, and then transported them back to the Central Plains. One return and one return, they were two transactions. When they transported money back, this was the stupidest transaction, and the Khitans did not have so much money to trade.

"According to your instructions, we require the Khitans to trade war horses in this transaction. If there is not enough war horses to use plowing oxen, then fur, then horses, various ores, and gold and silver are also fine. This time, all our goods are worth 2 million guan. Finally, we traded with the Khitans. We agreed that a war horse is fifty guan, a plowing oxen five guan, and a calf two guan. Each sheep costs 50 guan, a good sheepskin of one hundred guan, a cowhide horned oxen, and a cow horned oxen. The price is also agreed on."

After hearing this, Zhangguin Li nodded with satisfaction. Zhangguin Cui is worthy of being an old shopkeeper, and the price is very good. A war horse is now at least 80 stakes in the Central Plains, and a good stake of 100 stakes is even more expensive to go to Jiangnan. Even if Dengzhou is closer to Liaodong, a good horse can be worth ten stakes. Although it would be much cheaper to buy horses directly from the Khitan, it would be half the cheaper now, and Zhangguin Cui made great contributions to it.

"I will remember the credit of Manager Cui, and I will report the credit to the Grand Marshal when I go back."

"In fact, it is because there are too few caravans entering Serbia in the Central Plains this year, so the price is much cheaper than in previous years. Moreover, the Khitan divisions also hope that we can travel a few more trips, so this price is so discounted this year."

After saying that, Manager Cui took out a list, which showed the harvest from this trip, with a total of 10,000 war horses, 100,000 cows, 20,000 horses, and a large number of fur goods. There were also the gifts from Bala Khan to the general, including 10,000 horses and 200,000 sheep each.

With this kind of plus, there are ten thousand war horses, 30,000 ordinary horses, 110,000 cows, 200,000 sheep, and various fur goods.

"This is probably more than two million yuan, right?"

"It's beyond a little, but many of them are gifts given to the Grandmaster by the leaders of the twenty tribes." Manager Cui said with a smile.

When Manager Li heard this, he understood that Li Jing was so strong and wealthy. The gift he gave to Bala Khan was envious of everyone. Now they were competing to give gifts to Li Jing, of course they also wanted a return gift.

Looking at this list, Manager Li couldn't help but be moved. Ten thousand war horses are precious strategic materials. Even if the town is not short of horses, these horses can give cavalry a better choice of war horses, and the mobility of some infantry can also be greatly improved. In the early days of the town, the infantry were all horse-riding infantry, but now it has been continuously expanded, which has led to a significant decrease in the rate of infantry matching. If there is a large number of horse equipment, infantry can be equipped with horses again, which greatly improves the maneuverability.

Thirty thousand horses and 110,000 cows are also exciting. They can not only be used for military purposes, but also divided into various military camps below. With so many cattle, the land that has been reclaimed this year will definitely increase significantly.

Even these 200,000 sheep can be slaughtered directly in the Khitan and transported them into canned food to the mountain city on the front line in southern Liaoning. This is an excellent war preparation material.

"The Khitans' demand for transactions exceeded our expectations." Manager Li sighed a little.

"No, shopkeeper Li doesn't know. Nabala Khan bought a large amount of fur this year and mined a lot of ore. Now, this batch of goods has been sold for twenty pieces, and he has only bought a small part, and his things are piled up in warehouses."

"We have to find a way to change it." Manager Li said with a heart-warming look.

"This is not a big problem. I will talk to Bala Khan tomorrow. As long as we sign a contract with him and give him some profits. I think he will agree that we will buy his goods and transport them away. Then wait for the next time to transport the goods traded for him." As soon as he was talking about doing business, Manager Cui immediately became smart.

Manager Li nodded, and finally discussed with Manager Cui for a while, and decided to hire a group of people from the Khitan. He built a wooden barrel factory here, cut wood and made large wooden barrels, and then hired a group of herders to kill sheep, and directly made canned food here and took them back.

To this end, Manager Li sent someone back to Liaonan to report to Li Jing, asking Liaonan to send another batch of goods, and sent someone to receive horses, cattle and other goods. At the same time, Manager Cui asked Manager Cui to continue to buy old and weak cattle and sheep from various Khitan tribes.

When Manager Cui talked to various tribes, he responded very enthusiastically. They were very happy that Manager Cui was willing to exchange various spices, perfumes, tea and wine for the old cattle and sheep that could not be cultivated. Anyway, in the past, in winter, the Khitans had to slaughter a large number of livestock. Now that these animals were sold to Manager Cui, they could also be exchanged for a lot of tight-selling goods, so they were not willing to do so.

They immediately agreed to recruit herders to directly slaughter cattle and sheep and help transport goods back to southern Liaoning. The shipping price given by Manager Cui is very high, which makes people unable to be moved.

They vaguely knew about the canned food by Manager Cui and others, but some people on the grassland were cattle and sheep, and they could kill them immediately if they wanted to. How could they be so troublesome? In their opinion, canned food is just cured meat, and no one cares.

Manager Cui kept talking about business with people from various tribes day and night, and had bought a lot of supplies, many old horses, cows, and sheep, as well as various furs, as well as various minerals, etc. Anyway, even if it is something that is inconspicuous in the eyes of the herdsmen, this generous and generous shopkeeper Cui is willing to buy it.

The long list of goods on the list of fine wine, perfume, tea, spices, salt, glass, porcelain, silk, cloth, rock candy, poetry, Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, gold and silver jewelry, etc., made these Khitan nobles very happy to see it.

However, as soon as they mentioned medicines, food, iron tools, weapons, armor, etc., shopkeeper Cui showed a embarrassed expression. Although several transactions were reached in the end, almost all of them were the most gorgeous and precious armor and precious weapons for sale. Each piece was extremely precious, with thousands of silos of golden armor, kirin armor, fish scale armor, mountain armor, and horse spears, iron spears, swords, etc., even the Yilijins from various tribes could only buy a few sets.

For Manager Li, he didn't worry about buying a hundred sets of such weapons and armor. Such equipment could only be worn by these leaders. For the war, the Khitans spent tens of thousands of sets of iron armor, and in the end they only bought a hundred sets of exquisite equipment, which was scattered in the hands of each leader, and the threat to the town was almost no.

Manager Cui is busy discussing business all day, but Manager Li is successfully fighting with the Khitan nobles who are waiting for the Chai Ce ceremony in the Khan Court these days.

Especially Yelu Puguzhi, the Khitan Diela tribe, has become very good friends with Manager Li, and is almost the only way to make Jinlan.

On the grassland, we rode together for a long time. Shopkeeper Li and Yelu Pugu both gained great harvests and were immediately hung with many foxes hunting. This season is the best time to hunt foxes. The fox is cunning, and only the best hunters can hunt. And the fox's fur is extremely valuable.

It was the excellent archery technique of shopkeeper Li that surprised Pu Guzhi. Until now, the relationship between the two is very close.

When they arrived by the river, the two of them dismounted and drank water and fed the horses.

Manager Li handed his wine bag to Pu Guzhi. He took it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "This wine is so drinkable, but unfortunately it's too expensive." His family also bought a lot of white wine last time, but there were so many warriors in the tribe, and everyone wanted to buy some strong wine that only warriors could drink. As a result, after all, he didn't get much. He could only drink a little at a time. How could he carry it with him like Manager Li, and drink it whenever he wanted.

"Yelu Yande is about to hold the Chai Ce ceremony. Is that okay if your brother Yelu Sassai and others are fine?" Manager Li asked casually.

When Yelu Yande's name was heard, Yelu Puguzhi's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

He took a big sip of wine, sniffed a long sip, but didn't say anything.

Manager Li pretended to be surprised and asked, "Did he say that he refused to let Sashis after becoming Yilijin? If this is the case, your family will be in danger."

"My father, nine generations of Diela's tribe, Yilijin, Yelu rude dared not touch us."

"Maybe I don't dare now, but since he dares to kill your uncle Yelu Yundeshi and threaten to kill all the male members of Yelu Yundeshi's family, this person may not be judged by common sense. He was just the son-in-law of Bala Khan before, so he dared to assassinate your uncle and refused to let your clan brothers go. If he really becomes Yilijin, the next one may be to deal with your family. After all, your father is Yilijin of the nine Dieli tribe, and he is also worried that he will be re-elected in three years."

Pu Guzhi said angrily, "He dares!"

"What's there to be afraid of him? Your uncle has been assassinated, so what's there to be afraid of? I think this man is very domineering. When he was distributing goods last time, he didn't even give him the face of Bala Khan." Manager Li continued.

Seeing Pu Guzhi's face getting darker and darker, Manager Li hit the railway while it was hot: "Actually, in my opinion, this matter is easy to solve."

"Brother Li teaches me!" Pu Guzhi turned his head and looked over after hearing this, and said anxiously.
Chapter completed!
