Chapter 778: Cheap Horses on Fire

The transaction of 10,000 cheap horses made everyone lose their appetite.

At 3:30 pm, the money and goods were handed over.

Five thousand horses were given from the farm, and the other five thousand were used to transport things and were leased by the court.

Now the procedures for those horses were in the hands of the court, and no rent was required.

Song Jing was in a good mood and continued to eat at Tianshang Renjian.

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Starting tomorrow, we will send people to learn how to ride bicycles and ride them in Chang'an City to show others."

"Owner, are we leaving now? They are probably going to the place." Song De nodded to show that he knew about the sale of bicycles and talked about another thing.

"I haven't eaten yet because of all the trouble. Let's go, I'll go too." Li Yi rode a bicycle to change clothes.

Putting on a military coat and sitting in an ambulance with a sled underneath, the large group of people in the farm left the farm and went west.

A thousand sleds, three thousand Yulin flying cavalry and two hundred farm households were dispatched.

As soon as the Li family farm was dispatched, the people were curious again, what was it doing?

"Li Yi left Lijiazhuangzi, and his ambulance was protected and detoured from the south of the city, seemingly heading west." A member of the genban team ran to Tianshang Renjian to report intelligence.

"It's almost the New Year, what is his purpose? Is there a problem in the west of the city that needs his personal attention?" Song Jing had to pay attention.

Li Yi's every move touched many people's hearts. He just bought 10,000 horses at a low price. Would he be upset?

Bi Gou didn't understand the situation. He looked at Su Yan. Su Yan had not been the prime minister for a long time, and he didn't know Li Yi's thoughts.

Yao Chong took a look and sighed: "Alas! It's not expensive to buy a horse for 25 strings of cash. The sled doesn't cost much money. Ask the Gongmeng to make it."

"Yes, it's not expensive." Song Jing nodded. That's right, 25 strings of cash, buying in large quantities, 10,000 horses, reselling slowly, you can make a profit.

"Alas!" Wei Zhigu followed with a sigh: "Yu Huaide's people are back, right? I wonder if they will go out again next year."

Bi Gou slapped his forehead: "That's right, the smuggling alliance has not returned this year, they should want to come back for the New Year. Last year, they opened up the way, this year... Your Majesty will be happy."

Bi Gou remembered that there was another team, a team that made money for His Majesty.

That team cheated many officials. The officials took the money, and His Majesty asked them to work, so they had to pay for it themselves.

Song Jing was not in Chang'an last year, and no one told him. Now he heard everyone say it and asked in a low voice: "Is that team buying and selling things?"

"There will be a lot of horses sent back. I don't know if they are only buying and selling at the Tubo border this time, or they also ran to the Turks."

Bi Gou seemed helpless and picked up the wine to drink.

"Twenty-five strings of cash a horse, not expensive." Yao Chong comforted Song Jing again.

Song Jing: "..."

…….

Li Yi's team kept running westward. When it was almost midnight, the scout reported that the two sides were twenty miles apart.

"Hurry up, they must be impatient. Go first and help them set up camp and let them rest." Li Yi could guess that Yu Huaide and others were in a hurry.

The New Year is coming soon, and the closer they are to home, the more anxious they are.

When Li Yi's team met Yu Huaide's team, many people who came back with the smuggling team couldn't help but shed tears.

They were nervous all the way, and only when they met up did they feel completely relieved.

The people who came later helped to set up camp, and the people who came back just drank some soup and lay down to sleep.

It was already bright in the morning, so they woke them up, had a simple meal, and everyone went back.

The goods were moved to the sled last night, and the more than 40,000 horses brought back were also fed.

Sitting in Li Yi's car, Yu Huaide and others began to introduce the transaction.

Few horses were bought from Tubo, but pearls and furs were more. The horses were used for war preparations, and many were robbed by the Tang Dynasty.

The robbed horses were left in the border areas, and the governors or Jiedushi were responsible for raising them.

The trade team heard about the civil strife in the Turkic region, so they went to the border of the Turkic region and exchanged for many good horses.

Especially some small tribes, who thought that the days of being oppressed by the Turkic region were over, celebrated.

"On the way back, we exchanged food and grass for horses that were not physically strong, but officials from all over the country refused to accept them." Yu Huaide was quite regretful.

"They are not stupid. After being cheated once, they have understood who is behind you." Li Yi smiled.

"Master Li, these horses are still yours. The other things are enough for His Majesty to share and keep for us. We have made a lot this year."

Yu Huaide and his men don't want horses, as it is difficult to raise them.

The area around Jingzhao Prefecture is a plain, 800 miles of Qinchuan, where people grow food for living, not suitable for raising horses.

Going west is the horse-raising land of the Tang Dynasty. From Jingji Road up is Guannei Road, which is the Loess Plateau.

Continue to go north, after the Great Wall is a desert, the Maowusu Desert, where wells and roads are being repaired.

There is a small plain to the east, which is actually a basin, the Fenhe Valley.

If you want to find another plain, you have to go to the North China Plain further east, or the Heluo Plain in Luoyang.

Raising horses is too troublesome, so it is better to give them to Li Yi. Li's farm has the ability to find a place to house the horses.

"I want these horses, not the others. You stay. You will work hard outside. I don't know what the situation will be next year. It is best to stay at home and send someone to check."

Li Yi decided to ask for less this time, and give the extra to those who traveled so far to smuggle.

"Master Li is kind and righteous." Yu Huaide agreed on behalf of everyone.

In fact, it was not much, about 50,000 or 60,000 strings.

Of course, it was much more than last year. The situation this year was good, and the goods were more.

With the sled, the team moved fast. Just after arriving at noon, they saw the city wall.

The passers-by looked at this huge team, with so many horses, and they looked good.

The team continued to go around from the south, first to Lijiazhuangzi for repairs, mainly to rest.

Take a bath, eat well, sleep for a day and a night, don't think about anything, don't care about anything, and sell things when you feel comfortable.

…

"Looking at 45,000 to 60,000 good horses, they can be used as military horses. Jingzhao Prefecture is not short of horses."

The people who ran to inquire about the news returned to the political hall of Xingqing Palace and sighed.

Song Jing licked the two big bubbles on his lower lip with his tongue, his face full of bitterness.

He looked at Bi Gou, and Bi Gou shrugged and spread his hands like a profit: "I'll tell you, things are too easy, there must be a problem."

"The bubbles in my mouth should be pricked, apply watermelon frost, and go to the imperial doctor." Song Jing felt that the bubbles hurt more.

Yesterday, he was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he didn't eat and rushed to give the money to Li Yi. Both parties signed the contract, pressed their handprints, and stamped their seals.

Yesterday, the horses were worth 30 strings of cash each, but today they are not worth it.

More than 40,000 military horses are better than 10,000 horses bought with 250,000 strings of cash.

"Yes, find the imperial physician, watermelon frost is good. The preparation method of watermelon frost has spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yi has never kept it secret. Otherwise, he can make a lot of money with just this medicine."

Bi Gou was embarrassed, and he thought he had some responsibility in it.

If he was not so active, how could he spend 250,000 strings of cash to buy 10,000 horses today? 200,000 strings of cash were all overpaid.
