Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 365 Business
The room fell silent, and a spark exploded in the firepit, making a crackling sound.

Fifth Lord Cheng shook his head, and said in disbelief, "Prince, how did you know?"

The Rong people occupy a huge area, but they like to live in chasing grasslands and live a free life. They don't like to be fixed in a city surrounded by mud and rocks, so there are very few cities built. The area of ​​the city is not much smaller than that of Song State, but there are no more than ten cities in serious calculations.

Shangjing City, where the Wang Tent is located, is the largest of all the cities, but it is also the farthest from Aye City, so the control over Aye City is naturally the loosest.

Relying on his martial prowess and his ability to deal with disobedient tribes, the eldest prince has gained a great reputation in the past two years, but the main place of activity is still in the north of Zhongjing.

And if those caravans really belonged to Yeluqi, it must be Yeluqi's biggest secret. They don't know it, but the eldest prince who is thousands of miles away knows it?

"Could it be that the eldest prince made an excuse?" After thinking for a while, Cheng Wuye asked.

Master Qi shook his head and said: "It's not like, it was the dancer from Yeluqi's mansion who sent me the news. At that time, she happened to be called by Yeluqi to serve the nobleman, and happened to hear the voice in the lobby. She said, she secretly looked at it. Excuse me, the eldest prince seems to have thrown away evidence, and Yeluqi's complexion is very bad."

"Is that so?" Cheng Wuye patted his thigh and said, "If it's true, this Yeluqi will be punished. I have to go back and tell General Wen!"

If Yeluqi can even control the caravan, then there must be spies in the Song Dynasty, and when the time comes, Wucheng will cooperate with the inside and outside...

"Well, you can't stay for a long time. I'll see. If it wasn't for waiting for your goods, Master Hong and Lord Lu would leave too, but they can't wait for a few days. I guess if you don't come, they won't be here for two days." just go."

Master Qi's voice paused, and he said in a low voice: "I think, no matter whether it is true or not, the eldest prince must want to trouble Yeluqi."

Otherwise, why sell him some crap at a high price?

Cheng Wuye pondered for a while, and said with a sneer, "If that's the case, it's a good thing."

That man Yeluqi can stretch his hand to Jinzhou City, he doesn't think Yeluqi just wants to make money.

Now, it's best to let them fight among themselves.

"This is an internal matter of the Rong people, but to be honest, I don't want Aye City to be in chaos." Master Qi sighed.

"Why don't you just go back with me?" Cheng Wuye said, "Master Lu first said that they may not come next year, that is to say, they themselves don't like this place, so it's dangerous for you to stay, so come with me." .”

Master Qi smiled wryly and shook his head: "My son has taken a fancy to a girl from the Rong people. No, he is about to get married now. He will definitely not leave. If he doesn't leave, how can I leave?"

"Rong girl?" Cheng Wuye asked in surprise.

"Yeah, otherwise, I wouldn't have asked someone to bring you something, and I might as well have brought him back to get married." Master Qi sighed, "It's also a bad fate. My son went to the grassland to collect leather, but he met him. The wild wolves were rescued by that girl, so they insisted on marrying her, no matter how much I tried to persuade them, it was useless."

"Hey, this is a life-saving grace, which girl?" Cheng Wuye said with a smile.

"Going north, take a member of the Tu family, who is said to be the little girl of the patriarch." Master Qi shook his head, remembered something and then smiled: "The girl is a lively person, and she also likes my son. According to the rules, when she marries in the city, she also said that the thousand horses, cattle and sheep that the family dowries can also be raised in the clan first."

Rong people don't use currency, they calculate their wealth by the number of slaves and livestock, and the beeswax agate lapis lazuli hanging on their bodies.

Moreover, their sons want to grab their property, but their daughters can get an extremely generous dowry, and all the slaves and livestock will be brought to the married tribe.

Therefore, in Rong Kingdom, women have a high status (slaves are not counted). Sometimes a daughter of a large tribe marries into a small tribe, which can improve the strength of the entire tribe at once. Of course, that woman can also control the real power of the tribe.

And a thousand horses...

That would be at least the daughter of a mid-level tribal chief.

Cheng Wuye said sincerely: "Congratulations, brother."

With such a backer, Master Qi really didn't have to worry about leaving.

Regardless of Yeluqi or the eldest prince, he must always be concerned about the face of this daughter-in-law's family.

Thinking of this, Cheng Wuye also relaxed, and said: "So, I'll go to Hongye's now, and quickly order the goods. By the way, you can also find someone to take away your things, and I want to buy them." Are the goods ready?"

"Everything is ready, you go to Master Hong first." Master Qi waved his hand.

Cheng Wuye looked at Xie Jue when he got up.

Seeing that Xie Jue didn't move, he thought that all he brought was silk, and Mr. Lu had already taken those samples, so there was really no need to go to Lord Hong again.

Then he said to Xie Jue that you should rest first, and I will call you tomorrow.

Hearing Xie Jue's good-bye with a smile, Cheng Wuye walked outside the door and suddenly realized that the reason Xie Jue didn't go with him was not because all the samples had been sent over.

Rather, it means not to grab goods from him!
This is to let him go and see Hong Ye's goods first, let him choose first, and Xie Jue will buy the rest.

Realizing this, Cheng Wuye's heart warmed slightly, and he walked away with big strides.

Master Qi sent Fifth Master Cheng out, turned around and poured Xie Jue a cup of hot water, and said with a smile, "Brother, can you give me some of your silk silk?"

Those silks are better than those brought by Jinzhou city caravan and Cheng Wuye, and they will definitely please the daughter-in-law. When the time comes, the son will give the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law's natal family as gifts, which will also be the face of their family.

"Master Qi is polite." Xie Jue said with a smile: "They are all from my own family, and they don't speak of two different languages. They all come from my own weaving workshop. Master Qi likes it. Feel free to choose it. When I give it to my little brother to marry Congratulations."

"That's so embarrassing." Master Qi said with a smile: "Well, I'll trade the leather with you!"

His main business in Aye City is not the inn and hotel, but to collect all kinds of leather in the hinterland of the Rong people, and most of those goods will be supplied to Cheng Wuye.

However, this year because of his marriage with that girl, his son took back more good goods than in previous years, so he can trade some of them with Xie Jue.

Xie Jue was not refusing, but just smiled and said: "So, so, five horses are included as congratulatory gifts, and the rest, Mr. Qi, I want to collect some good horses. I don't know if Mr. Qi has a way?"

Master Qi frowned: "You can't say that, the Rong people are strictly forbidden to sell horses to the Song people!"

Bei Rong and Song State have been fighting for so many years, Bei Rong lacks iron and Song State lacks horses, so it is strictly forbidden to export these two things to each other.

Once discovered, it is a serious crime of beheading.

Xie Jue smiled and said: "Of course this matter can't implicate Lord Qi, but, I came all the way here, and Tude is just a profit. Lord Qi, in the capital, a good horse can be sold for hundreds of dollars above."

Baiguan!

Master Qi frowned again.

The Rong people used to barter, one of Xie Jue's silks could be exchanged for an ordinary horse, and two of them could be exchanged for a high-quality horse. It's all ten times the profit!

As for the daughter-in-law, the dowry alone is [-] adult horses, half of which are mares. When the spring of next year comes, the foal will be...

Seeing the flickering look in Master Qi's eyes, Xie Jue smiled faintly.
