There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 884

[Chapter 884 Chapter 884, black eat black]

Town is called Bamu Town. Although it is the exchange market place between Xiliao and Xiliang, it does not occupy a large area. .

People with little influence dare not come here to conduct transactions at all. Ordinary people who come here will be robbed in all likelihood, and those who are unlucky may even lose their lives.

There are also pitifully few local residents here, but most of those who stayed have some courage and means.

When Xiao Yeyang came to buy horses this time, he found a middleman in the town to set up a match.

The small town was still quite lively, Xiao Yeyang walked on the street at a leisurely pace, holding Daohua by his hand, carefully looking at everything in the small town.

On the street, people from Xiliao are more active than people from Daxia, which can also be seen from the side, that people from Xiliao are stronger in this town. How weak the defense of the commander and envoy is.

In Daxia’s territory, it’s fine for the Xiliao people to come and go as they please, but they still have to overwhelm the people here. If it’s not the incompetence of the government, what is it?

“It’s a bit like a wholesale market here.”

Dao Hua said to Xiao Yeyang while observing the vendors passing by on the street.

“Wholesale.” Xiao Yeyang chewed on these two words, and then said with a smile, “You’re right.”

Daohua continued, “If the government manages it, it will definitely be more standardized and lively here.”

Xiao Yeyang agreed with what Daohua said: “But there must be a prerequisite, that is, the army here in Xiliang must be strong enough to prevent Xiliao people from invading, and they must abide by the rules we made.”

Daohua looked at Xiao with a smile . Yeyang: “Didn’t you come, I believe there will be such a day.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, his eyes flashed with determination, since he came to Xiliang, he had to make some achievements.

The trade on the main street was fairly normal. When Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the back street, there were many illegal transactions here.

Looking at the woman locked in a cage for business, Dao Hua subconsciously frowned.

These women include Xiliao and Daxia.

Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua quickly through the street, and in a short while came to a courtyard that looked pretty good.

After Defu went up and knocked on the door, a middle-aged strong man came out soon.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the strong man Ma Teng immediately raised a smile on his face, and saluted with fists together: “Master Xiao is here, please sit in the room.”

Xiao Yeyang: “No need, Boss Ma, I don’t have much time. I want to see the horses now, has the horse dealer arrived?”

Ma Teng has nothing to say, the person in front of him is a big customer, as long as he facilitates today’s transaction, he can get a lot of commission: “Here, here, I’ve been here for a while, so I’ll take you there?”

Xiao Yeyang said ‘hmm’ and said, “Let’s lead the way.”

Since Xiao Yeyang wanted more horses, the horse traders did not enter the town, but waited in the outside of town.

Everyone was about to turn around and leave, but Daohua suddenly said: “Boss, I see that there are two black and white cows in your yard?”

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: “Madam has good eyesight, there are indeed two cows , a caravan from Xiliao stayed with me for consignment, but unfortunately no one has bought it because the asking price is too high.”

Daohua: “Can we go in and have a look?”

Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he immediately invited a few people into the yard.

Looking at the two black-and-white cattle that were obviously taller and larger than ordinary cattle in the yard, Xiao Yeyang said, “There are such breeds of cattle in Xiliao?”

Ma Teng smiled and shook his head: “It’s not from Xiliao, but from Xiliao merchants and They were exchanged from other countries in the Western Regions, probably because they ate too much and didn’t want to raise them, so they put them here.”

Seeing Daohua circling around the two cows, Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, “Want to buy?”

Daohua nodded quickly, black and white cows, this is the breed of cows with the highest milk yield.

Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Ma Teng: “We want these two cows.”

Ma Teng immediately grinned: “These two cows happen to be a male and a female. Master Xiao and his wife will definitely not lose money when they buy them back.”

Thank God, The two cows were finally bought. You know, after the cows were put in his place, he spent a lot of money to buy pasture. If someone bought them, he would be extremely happy.

Mei Lan and Mei Ju stepped forward to untie the ropes, and each of them pulled one end out of the yard.

Xiao Yeyang felt Daohua’s joy, and said with a smile: “It’s just two cows, do you need to be so happy?”

Daohua: “You don’t understand.”

Under the leadership of Ma Teng, Xiao Yeyang and his party went out After walking almost two kilometers in the town, they came to a not-so-large racecourse.

“This racecourse was originally left by our ancestors. Unfortunately, the situation has been unstable these years. People from Xiliao kept coming to grab things, so I shut them down.”

“Master Xiao wanted a lot of horses, so I let the horse seller The businessman has driven the horses to my racecourse.”

Ma Teng led Xiao Yeyang and his party into the racecourse while talking.

Not long after, a group of Xiliao people gathered in the distance.

“You wait for me at the side of the carriage.”

Daohua glanced at the Xiliao people in the distance and nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Yeyang took Defu and Bu Gandang and walked towards the Xiliao people.

“Brother Yelu, this is Lord Xiao who wants to buy a horse.” Ma Teng smiled and introduced Xiao Yeyang to the horse seller from Xiliao.

Yelv Baichi squinted at Xiao Yeyang: “Did you bring any money? I don’t want any money.”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t care about Yelu Baichi’s attitude: “Boss Ma said before that you can buy it with gold. There is too much silver and it is inconvenient to take it. I brought gold.”

Yelu Baichi: “Gold is also fine, if you want Let me take a look.”

Xiao Yeyang turned his head and looked in the direction of the carriage, and soon, eight hidden guards dressed as ordinary people stepped onto the stage from the carriage and got down from four wooden boxes.

When the hidden guards arrived, Xiao Yeyang directly asked Defu to open the box.

Looking at the golden bars, Yelu Baichi nodded in satisfaction, and gave Ma Teng a smile: “You found a good buyer, and we can continue to cooperate next time.”

Xiao Yeyang signaled Defu to close the box, and looked at Yelu Bai Chi: “Now it’s time for me to look at the horses.”

Yelu Baichi said with a smile: “It’s natural.” Then, he put the whistle on his neck into his mouth, and with a burst of whistle, hundreds of horses were in the racecourse immediately. Li ran up.

After Xiao Yeyang saw it, he really frowned: “The quantity is wrong, right? I want two thousand horses, but you clearly only have a few hundred horses.”

Yelu Baichi smiled: “You have good eyesight, but you only have five hundred horses. However, you should be content with it. I can tell you that the Xiliao imperial family has been very strict with the sale of horses in the past two years. I was able to produce 500 horses because I have a strong relationship. Otherwise, you guys You can’t even buy five hundred horses.”

Ma Teng saw Xiao Yeyang’s face darkened, and he quickly laughed along with him, “Brother Yelu, didn’t we agree on two thousand good horses? See if they can be here.”

Yelu Bai Chi interrupted Ma Teng impatiently: “I said there are only five hundred horses, so you can’t understand people’s words, right?”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Defu, who immediately signaled the hidden guard to carry away three box.

Seeing Yelu Baichi, he hurriedly stopped: “What are you doing?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at him expressionlessly: “The gold I brought was for buying two thousand good horses, and you only brought five hundred now. Naturally, we will get back the extra gold.”

Yelu Baichi’s face turned cold: “I’ve never heard that what you take out can be taken back. If you want to buy these five hundred horses today, you have to leave all the boxes to me.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Yelu Bai Chi: “You want to rob me?”

Yelu Bai Chi sneered: “Don’t say it so harshly, I’m a businessman.”

Xiao Yeyang: “I have to take away the horse and the extra gold.

” As soon as he came out, the Xiliao people behind Yelu Baichi immediately surrounded him, and each of them drew their sabers.

Yelu Baichi has been doing business in the border town all year round. Although he is used to being arrogant and domineering, he still knows how to look at people. Seeing that his people have drawn their knives, the other party didn’t react much. He immediately knew that the buyer was not easy to mess with.

In the silence, Yelu Baichi suddenly spotted Dao Hua and Mei Lan Mei Ju standing in front of the carriage. Dao Hua couldn’t see her face with the curtain on her head, but Mei Lan Mei Ju could see clearly.

Yelu Baichi loves the beauties of Daxia especially, especially when he thinks of the white, soft and smooth snow skin of the noble daughter of Daxia married by the eldest prince, his heart itch is unbearable.

Seeing that the plums, orchids, plums and chrysanthemums are growing well, Yelu Baichi couldn’t help drawing Daohua’s attention.

The maids are so beautiful, the master must be stunning, right?

Xiao Yeyang noticed Yelu Baichi’s gaze, and a cold light flashed across his eyes, but Yelu Baichi didn’t care about anything, and said desperately: “You can buy these five hundred good horses, and give that woman a gift. Me.”

As soon as these words came out, Defu’s heart beside him couldn’t help but tremble, and looked at Yelu Baichi with the eyes of a dead man.

This guy really lived up to the name his parents gave him, he really was an idiot!

Beside the carriage, Daohua saw the leader of the Xiliao people pointing at her, feeling puzzled in her heart, and saw Xiao Yeyang turning around and walking towards her.

“Get in the carriage, let’s go!”

Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua get into the carriage as soon as he arrived in front of the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang’s slightly ugly face: “What’s the matter, I didn’t buy a horse, and the price wasn’t negotiated?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “No, the horses are bought, but the quantity is a little less.” After speaking, he knocked on the door of the carriage, and soon the carriage started.

Daohua didn’t ask any more questions. When the carriage turned and drove out of the racecourse, through the curtain of the carriage, the hidden guards brought by Xiao Yeyang moved their hands towards those Xiliao people.

Half an hour later, Defu brought the hidden guards together with Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang got off the carriage: “It’s been dealt with cleanly?”

Defu stepped forward and replied, “Don’t worry, master, there are no traces left.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng, who was a little pale, and said, “Boss Ma”

witnessed After Defu’s group killed Yelu Baichi and those people, Ma Teng’s face was a little stiff, but everything else was fine.

Obviously, a middleman like him who does business in the border town has long been familiar with such things as robbery and murder.

However, after seeing the extraordinary skills of Defu and others, Ma Teng began to guess Xiao Yeyang’s identity: “What orders does Master Xiao have?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Just pretend that what happened today never happened.” Go.”

Ma Teng nodded quickly: “Master Xiao, don’t worry, I know about this.”

Xiao Yeyang: “I am short of horses here, if you meet a horse dealer from Xiliao again, please let me know. “After finishing speaking, he looked at Defu.

Defu immediately took out two gold bars and handed them to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng didn’t refuse, it was what one of them should do with money, and he took the gold bar with a smile: “Thank you, Lord

Xiao, for the meal.” Xiao Yeyang nodded and turned to get into the carriage.

At this moment, an old woman came over with a basket: “Master Ma?”

Ma Teng looked for his reputation, and seeing someone he knew, he immediately walked over: “Mrs. Feng, why are you here?” The

old woman The man lifted the basket in his hand: “My son went to Yunlian Mountain again last month and found a lot of caterpillar fungus. Don’t I just want to bring it here and let you sell it?”

Ma Teng looked at the basket covered with grass, and raised it in his hand: “Okay, I see, you go back first, let your son come to me in two days.” The

old woman nodded, and was just about to leave. Daohua suddenly opened the curtain of the car: “I heard you talking about Cordyceps, can you show me?”

Ma Teng glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he didn’t object, he immediately ran over with the basket, and didn’t mind. Dare to lean into the carriage, but handed the basket to Defu.

“This Cordyceps is a kind of herb that grows in alpine regions and snow-capped mountains. It is good for your health if you eat it often.”

Defu handed the basket to the car window.

Daohua flipped through it, and surprise flashed across her eyes: “It’s really Cordyceps sinensis.” Then, she looked at the old woman, “Old man, how do you sell this herb?” The

old woman was a little embarrassed, and looked at Ma Teng for help.

Ma Teng said with a smile: “Ma’am, we usually sell this Cordyceps for one tael per catty.” Dao   Hua

: “I want this basket of Cordyceps.”

He took out a few taels of silver and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman thanked the silver repeatedly, and handed the smallest piece to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng refused with a smile: “Mrs. Feng, I didn’t sell it for you this time, so I won’t charge you. You should go back quickly, it’s getting late.” The

old woman looked happy and bent a few times in the direction of the carriage. , turned around and left.

Seeing the old woman’s legs and feet, Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and said: “This old woman is in good health.”

Dao Hua: “Eating Cordyceps often is good for your health.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ma Teng: “Many people ask you for help. Do you want to sell things?”

Ma Teng nodded with a smile: “They are all neighbors from nearby villages, people from Xiliao in Bamu Town come and go frequently, and they dare not come to buy things by themselves. Why don’t you just help everyone buy things, charge some intermediate fees, and eat together.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng: “You have been living in Bamu Town, you should know the things here very well?”

Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang, turned a few turns in his heart, and then smiled confidently “There is nothing about Ma Teng that I don’t know about Bamu Town.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng again, turned around and got on the carriage.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Ma Teng lowered his eyes and pondered: “This Mr. Xiao seems to have a very complicated background.”

As a middleman, in order to avoid trouble, he actually didn’t want to inquire about the background of the buyer and the seller, but today this Master Xiao gave him too much sense of oppression. Yelu Baichi and the Xiliao people were not low in force, but they were all wiped out by Master Xiao’s men. This is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

He had to find a way to find out who this Lord Xiao was.

On the other side, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua, Bu Gandang and others together.

Xiao Yeyang looked at the five hundred horses surrounded by the guards: “How about it, are the horses obedient?”

Bu Gandang took out the whistle: “With this whistle, the horses didn’t run around.”

Xiao Ye Yang nodded: “That’s good, you guys have to work hard and send the horse to the newly built Ganxuan Town overnight. After I go back, I will start training the soldiers to ride and shoot.”

Bu Gandang took the order and left.

In the carriage, Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang was frowning, and asked: “But there are not enough horses?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded: “Ganzhou Wei used to have a thousand or so horses, and today’s 500 horses. It’s only 1,500 horses in total, and it’s enough for small troubles, but it’s really impossible to take back Danhe quickly.”

“I went to Danhe to look at it before, and there are 20,000 people stationed in Xiliao. If the army wants to win a quick battle, at least 5,000 cavalry must be trained.”

“Once the time is too long, the Xiliao army will come to support, and if you don’t pay attention, it may trigger a full-scale war.”

“Now the emperor’s uncle’s attention They are all in the navy, and on the northwest side, he certainly doesn’t want to cause chaos, fighting on two fronts, the treasury can’t afford it.”

Daohua thought for a while: “Have you noticed that there seems to be a shortage of tea in Xiliao? I just paid close attention to the transactions in Bamu Town, and found that someone actually exchanged a cow for a pot of tea.”

Xiao Yeyang : “Xiliao lives as a nomad. They eat hot, greasy, and indigestible food such as beef, mutton, and milk. They need to drink tea frequently to improve their physical condition. Tea in Xiliao is actually a kind of cure. It is a good medicine.”

Daohua: “Since they are so short of tea, you can exchange it with them.”

Xiao Yeyang pondered: “This method is feasible, but from what the Xiliao people just said It can be seen that Xiliao has strictly controlled the sale of horses in the past two years, and if you want to buy a large number of horses, you may not be able to do it without acquaintances.”
