Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290: Unexpected Success
The staff member rubbed his eyes and confirmed the number on the wooden sign again. It was indeed number 27.

"Sir... do you really want to buy these 40,000 war horses? You have to pay 650 shi of grain in one lump sum!"

His words were like a bolt from the blue to those who were still in the business, and they all gathered around quickly.

"What? Someone actually bought it? Who is this person and how can he be so powerful?"

"Could it be that he didn't read the transaction requirements on the wooden sign clearly?"

"I think he said the wrong number. Maybe he wanted number seventeen."

While everyone was speculating, the one-eyed man said, "Yes, it is these 40,000 war horses. The food carts are outside the city."

When they heard him confirm this, their surprise became even stronger.

"Oh my god, who on earth is this person? How could he be able to come up with so much food?"

"Too terrifying. How come we have never heard of or seen such a force?"

"May I ask where you are from, brother? I am from the Tang family in Hedong..."

"I am from the Yuyang Liu family..."

Many people introduced themselves to the one-eyed man, trying to establish this relationship.

However, the one-eyed man didn't even look at them.

"How about it? Should we ask the seller to come out and negotiate?"

His voice was like a loud bell, waking up the staff member who was still immersed in shock.

"Oh, okay... Oh, no, I'll go get the shopkeeper. Please wait a moment, sir..."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a strong spirit came out. It was Li Ang, the head of the business.

He saw the one-eyed man, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I am Li Ang, the person in charge of this place. I heard that you want to exchange these 40,000 war horses?"

The one-eyed man seemed a little impatient.

"Too much nonsense, are you going to sell it or not?"

Li Ang frowned slightly, but these big merchants were powerful and most likely had some background, so it was expected that they had some temper.

"Of course we have to sell it. The seller has asked us to do the transaction as written on the wooden sign, with the horses in one hand and the grain in the other. After the transaction is successful, you and the seller will each pay our company a reward of 50 million coins. What do you think?"

According to the rules of Anhan Trading Company, after a successful transaction within the company, the buyer and seller will each pay a certain fee to the company. The rates vary for different commodities.

Originally, the rate for war horses was 10% after conversion into currency, but considering the large scale of this transaction, the cost of hundreds of millions was indeed too high, so Li Ang set it at 50 million coins.

The one-eyed man was straightforward and said only one word: "Yes."

Then he looked at Li Ang: "Where is the warhorse?"

Li Ang smiled and said, "With 40,000 war horses, the city is naturally crowded. They are now in the north of the city, and are being guarded by someone from my company. How about I take you there to check it out?"

The one-eyed man nodded.

Li Ang made a gesture of invitation, and the group followed him all the way to the north of the city.

Those caravans that came to watch the fun were unwilling to miss out on such an unprecedented business, so they followed to see what was going on.

The group went out of the north gate of the city one after another, followed by Li Ang and a group of guards, and after many twists and turns, they arrived outside a valley.

Before entering the valley, everyone heard various clear and loud neighing sounds of war horses coming from the valley.

"What a good horse! This sound is definitely not something that those short, dull horses can make."

There were also many people present who knew a lot about horses, and they could tell about three-quarters of the way there just by looking at the sounds.

With this understanding in mind, everyone followed Li Ang into the valley with excitement.

Everyone felt as if the view was suddenly enlightened. The valley was flanked by dense forests and lush greenery, with a few trickles running through it.

On this land, groups of horses were grazing, running wildly, or neighing at the sky. The scene was very harmonious. "What great horses indeed! Each of them is tall and majestic. If they were used as war horses, with a little training, they would definitely become a powerful cavalry! Most of our Han cavalrymen have two horses per person, which is equivalent to a powerful cavalry of 20,000 people! Even the Luoyang Imperial Guards do not have cavalry of this size!"

Many caravans' eyes turned red when they looked at these war horses.

In their eyes, if these horses were theirs, wouldn’t they be able to make a fortune?
But this was just a thought, because they didn't have so much food to trade? Thinking of this, they couldn't help but cast envious and jealous eyes at the one-eyed man.

Li Ang looked at the one-eyed man and said with a smile, "Forty thousand war horses, not one less, all are here. Do you want to count them?"

It was not known whether the one-eyed man's cheeks were trembling with excitement, joy, or some other reason, but he seemed to be trying hard to hold back his emotions.

"I can trust you."

After saying that, he waved to the people behind him, and two of them ran out of the valley.

"Go get some food."

The one-eyed man said this, then turned and left.

Li Ang looked at his back and sighed in his heart: "This person does not show his emotions, and his financial resources are so huge, why have I never seen him before? Even if I am not familiar with the world's top businessmen and their trusted people, I should have heard of them. Who is this person?"

But no matter what he thought, he still took a step forward and walked out of the valley.

Not long after leaving the valley, everyone saw from afar a group of black shadows appearing on the surface in another direction.

The dark shadow was getting closer and clearer.

"Ah, it's the convoy!"

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that there were indeed rows and rows of convoys, including ox convoys, donkey convoys, horse convoys, and a few human-powered convoys. The scale was so huge that everyone was so surprised that they opened their mouths wide.

The convoys finally arrived in front of the crowd, so huge that the empty grassland at the city gate was crowded.

"These are all corn and wheat produced in the past three years. Please count them."

The one-eyed man said.

Li Ang was not as generous as him. He waved his hand and said there was no need to order. After all, these were not his own things, but a deal for Liu He, so of course he had to check them thoroughly.

A group of business staff ran over and randomly checked a number of convoys. After a long time, they came back and nodded to Li Ang.

"Okay, since both parties have finished inspecting the goods, shall we trade now?"

Leon asked.

"Well, let's trade now."

The one-eyed man winked at the people around him, and several of them, along with a group of laborers who had just been driving, ran into the valley together.

Li Ang also asked the people in the trading company to transport the convoy to the designated place. Because there were too many people in the convoy, when the people in the city saw it, many of them came out to help.

Not long after, a strange scene appeared in Yinguan City.

Outside the city, a group of people were galloping with a large number of strong war horses.

At the city gate, more people were pushing carts and walking happily into the city.

"Hey, shopkeeper, we made a lot of money this time. In addition to the 6.5 million dan of grain, we also got more than 6,000 cows, more than 8,000 donkeys, and more than 5,000 horses for free. In addition, these ox carts, donkey carts, horse carts, and wheelbarrows are not valuable, but they are in large quantities!"

A merchant guard who was already exhausted and out of breath was talking to Li Ang excitedly.

However, Li Ang's expression was far from as happy as his. Instead, it looked a little solemn.

"Who on earth could be so generous? How could so much food be gathered so quickly, and how could so many manpower and resources be mobilized to transport it to Yinguan City so quickly? Who on earth could have such power... This matter went too smoothly, so smoothly that it was a little strange. Why do I feel so uneasy..."

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

"Oh, never mind. This is not something I can worry about. I'd better inform the adults of the news as soon as possible."

Li Ang was filled with sorrow, but in a private residence in Jinyang City, there was a festive atmosphere.
