Chapter 59 Intrigue [6000 words full month(2/3)
As for why the price of buying cows is equally high?
This is nonsense!
Cows are the seeds that extend life, and of course they are taller than bulls.
In fact, the prices of horses, cattle, and sheep on the grassland are high in Dakang.
Only wealthy families can afford mutton in the capital. If you go to the south, it will be extremely expensive.
A horse with twenty taels, and three thousand horses with sixty taels of silver are sixty taels of silver.
Adding the 220,000 taels of 10,000 cows before, that is 280,000 taels of silver!
I have never seen such a large sum of silver.
He held his breath, "In half of the transaction... 100,000 taels of silver were exchanged for honeycomb coal?"
"Can."
"One honeycomb coal or two cents?"
"Can."
"Can I ship all to the designated place now?"
"Yes, but you pay the shipping fee yourself."
"good!"
Jin Chenbai slapped the table, "Your Highness, we have done this business! Three thousand horses, as soon as the goods arrive, I will hand them over to you! The cows will be transported in the spring next year."
"Um!?"
Now it was Liu Mingqi's turn to be surprised.
Unlike what I had discussed before, Jin Chenbai was willing to give Junma in advance?
Could it be that he has decided that I will agree to trade with him?
This person is not that simple!
※※※※※※
Jin Chenbai seemed to only talk about this business with Liu Mingqi.
After the negotiation was completed, he did not mention it, but only explained that the people below would start to discuss the details of the details tomorrow.
Liu Mingqi also likes this generous style.
The two then drank and chatted.
After watching Meng Xin'er dance, Jin Chenbai, who was half drunk, became interested and went up to dance a dance of begging for Yan.
Coupled with the loud singing of his group of his subordinates, it seemed very lively.
The banquet ended late at night.
Although Liu Mingqi didn't drink much, she was still a little dizzy when she got on the carriage.
Liu Mingqi, who drank several times more than him, was still energetic and looked regretful.
Tonight, he could have picked up two winds, but Liu Mingqi insisted on going home with him in a carriage, so he had to give up regretfully.
He knew what Liu Mingqi wanted to ask.
After getting on the carriage, Liu Mingjing said directly: "That man claims to be Feng's surname, and those who are flirting with Yan call him Mr. Feng."
"Mr. Feng?" Liu Mingqi blinked, "Isn't you a beggar?"
"I don't know, but he has no accent and cannot judge it." Liu Mingjing said, "But I can still tell from some of his habits that he may be from the northwest."
"oh?"
Liu Mingqi said, "Are we from Dakang or from foreigners?"
"I don't know this. I think it may be a mixed-race species." Liu Mingjing said, "There seems to be a layer of mask under this guy's hat, which is very mysterious."
"There is no other useful information?" Liu Mingqi was obviously dissatisfied.
"I can't see it for the time being." Liu Mingjing said, "But I guessed that his voice and speaking habits showed that this person should be a middle-aged man in his forties. Is it probably the kind of poor and poor person who was unsuccessful, so he ran all the way to the grassland to join the barbarians?"
There are many people like this.
These traitors appeared in the history of previous lives and in this time and space, and caused great harm to the Central Plains.
Of course, there are still a few talented people, most of them make a living, become staff members, or simply the decorations of other nobles.
After all, it is very elegant to have a Han scholar at home.
Liu Mingqi also nodded, "I can only think like this for the time being."
He always felt something was wrong with this guy, but no matter what aspect he looked at, he couldn't see the problem. Liu Mingjing didn't find any useful news, so he could only stop for the time being.
Liu Mingjing also asked here: "What did you talk about? I think you are all very happy?"
The boy smiled slightly and told the business he was talking about.
Liu Mingjing was stunned at first, and then said, "Mingqi, if you sell so much honeycomb coal to them, aren't you afraid that they will preserve their strength in the blizzard and pose a greater threat to us?"
"How can it be!"
Liu Mingqi laughed, "Mingjing, do you know how much honeycomb coal can be exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver?"
Liu Mingjing calculated and said, "One honeycomb coal costs two cents, one tael of silver is 500, and one tael of silver is 50 million!"
"It takes a lot of effort to transport 50 million honeycomb coal from the capital. How troublesome will it be when it arrives on their grasslands, on the snow-covered grasslands?" Liu Mingqi said, "It's November now, and it won't be transported to Datong as early as December. Do you think they can transport it back to the grasslands in a month? And when passing through the tribes along the way, those tribes will not be moved?"
"This..." Liu Mingjing immediately thought about it.
"What a pity!" Liu Mingqi sighed: "If my ten thousand cows had not been transported here, I would have promoted them to all the tribes along the way to let them know how precious winter resources these honeycomb coals are!"
Liu Mingjing was dumbfounded: "Mingqi, you are too cruel! Isn't this obvious that someone is going to snatch and kill?"
"Yes!"
Liu Mingqi shrugged, "The people of Qiyan are not good things. When they become stronger, they will be another Wei, Xiqiang and Uighurs. Let them die more, so we can die less in the Central Plains in the future. What's wrong with it?"
People from modern times disagree with many people in ancient times.
Especially Liu Mingqi is very disgusted with the so-called "forgiveness" of Confucianism.
Every time I have to wait until someone calls me, I will resist like a chicken blood.
Why can't we just learn from the United States, prepare in advance, and constantly weaken the enemy?
No, it was not invented by the Americans first.
That's what I am in the Qing Dynasty!
Relying on the religion of Living Buddha, the Mongolians have been firmly transformed from warriors who gallop around the world into groups of ordinary people who only know how to recite scriptures and respect temples.
From then on, the northern Qing Dynasty eliminated the major problems.
How good is this method?
It doesn’t cost much money, and it can be safe and stable for a long time!
After all, Liu Mingjing is a person from this era and a clan of the royal family. He has never been exposed to such a dark thing.
Hearing Liu Mingqi say this, he was a little dissatisfied at first.
But as I listened, I felt thoughtful.
"Mingjing." Liu Mingqi didn't ask him to understand immediately, "Whenever you have a chance in the future, you must remember one thing... Only the day of death... the enemy is the best enemy! For our thousands of compatriots in Dahao, you must not have any sympathy for these guys who may turn into beasts at any time!"
Liu Mingjing smiled mockingly when he heard this, "Don't say that, how could I have the chance to go to the battlefield? Just a person like Mingguan dares to let me go?"
"Maybe!"
Liu Mingqi didn't mention it any more.
He also knew in his heart that this matter was probably unrealistic.
If Liu Mingguan becomes emperor, he may improve the treatment of the royal family, such as restrictions on whether to leave Beijing, etc., but he will never allow the royal family to participate in the government and military affairs.
Not to mention whether Liu Mingguan agreed or not, none of the royal court could agree.
...
In another carriage, two people were also talking.
Jin Chenbai, who seemed drunk just now, was not drunk at all except for the smell of alcohol.
However, Mr. Feng, who had drunk a lot of alcohol, looked a little dizzy and leaned against the carriage.
"King, how about this Liu Mingqi?" asked Mr. Feng.
"He is a greedy and smart man." Jin Chenbai said, "and he is not a scholar like Dakang at all, nor does he have the so-called 'saint' temperament. Instead, he looks like a... I can't understand, he is very interesting anyway."
"So, he is the biggest variable in Dakang." Mr. Feng said, "Dakang chose Liu Mingguan as the emperor, which is the best among all our grassland tribes. If he chose Liu Mingqi, it would probably not be that simple and easy."
"Not necessarily, what if he is greedy for fun and likes all kinds of romantic occasions? This is easier to deal with than a gentleman." Jin Chenbai smiled, "You haven't seen the courtesan tonight, they almost got stuck together! What's the future of a man who is greedy for beauty?"
To put it bluntly, Jin Chenbai is not in a hurry to do things according to Mr. Feng’s advice.
