Chapter 113 In Tang Yin's mind, Yingbu has been stationed in Baguan for many years, and he is naturally very familiar with the situation in Mozambique, and using him to defraud horse merchants may be helpful.
Sure enough, hearing Tang Yin say this, Zhao Fu rubbed his hands, smiled dryly, and looked slightly embarrassed.
He doesn't know if Tang Yin and Yingbu have been good friends for many years, but Yingbu switches and releases it is true, and he must have a good relationship with Tang Yin.
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "One hundred taels per horse, this is the lowest price I can give."
My lord, from Mozambique to here, thousands of miles away, the distance is long, the cost is also high, if the price is low, I will not be profitable, I hope you will understand. ” Tang Yin smiled, and secretly said in his heart that there was still room to reduce the price.
He glanced at Shangguan Yuanji, who was also shaking his head at him slightly, indicating that this was not the lowest bottom line.
He took a deep breath and said leisurely: "To buy war horses, I want not just a few hundred, but thousands or even tens of thousands, if Brother Zhao really has the heart to cooperate with me, then you should show your sincerity." ” Zhao Fu secretly said that Tang Yin was difficult, he smiled bitterly: "My lord, I transport horses from the country of Mo to the country of wind, how much risk is this, if there is no sincerity, how can I do this?"
Tang Yin nodded, paused for a moment, and then said: "Eighty taels per war horse, excluding these hundred, I still have a thousand." ” His words, without the slightest hesitation, said that there was no room for negotiation.
"This" Zhao Fu frowned and hung his head silently.
Eighty taels per horse, of course, there is still a profit to be made, but this profit is much smaller, and he is also considering whether it is worth taking such a big risk for these profits.
Seeing him pondering, Tang Yin said slowly: "Actually, this thousand war horses is just the beginning, and then I will buy more, of course, if Brother Zhao thinks that the price I open is too low, he can also give up cooperating with me, and I will find someone else." ” "No, no, no" When he heard that Tang Yin was looking for another horse dealer, Zhao Fu's head shook like a rattle, this business opportunity in front of him was too rare, once he missed it, he didn't know how much money he would make less.
He gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and said, "Okay, I accept the adult's price, and I will calculate it as if I don't have eighty taels."
"Okay" Tang Yin peeked at Shangguan Yuanji, and at this time, the latter smiled, just nodded slightly, indicating that the price was acceptable, seeing this, Tang Yin stood up and smiled at Zhao Fu: "I hope we can have a happy relationship in the future." ” "Of course, of course, please take care of me."
"Brother Zhao is polite" After setting a price with Zhao Fu, Tang Yin immediately ordered Tang Zhong to go to the silver treasury to take out eight thousand taels of silver, hand it over to Zhao Fu, and buy the hundred war horses he brought first.
Taking advantage of Zhao Fu's inventory of silver taels, he walked out of the hall, came to the courtyard, picked out one of the hundreds of horses brought by Zhao Fu at random, and then turned over and ran around the courtyard.
Although these Mozambican horses are not as good as the one that Wu Mei gave him, they are not much worse, their speed is much faster than the wind country war horse, and they are many times faster than the barbarian Pab horse.
If he can really have thousands of Mozambican war horses, he can lead his cavalry to drive straight into the barbarian state, come and go freely, and even directly hit the barbarian city of Besa is not impossible.
After a few more turns in the courtyard, Tang Yin jumped off the war horse and patted the horse's back lovingly.
At this time, Zhao Fu walked out of the hall and asked with a smile: "Are you still satisfied?"
"En" Tang Yin nodded quietly and said, "Although it can't be called top-grade, it's not bad." ” Zhao Fu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The horses I brought to the adults are all carefully selected."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting his words, and then Ling Jiading took his horse Ruying, and asked with a smile: "What does Brother Zhao think of me, this Mozambican horse?"
Zhao Fu is a horse merchant, and naturally he is also a person who knows horses, so he doesn't need to ride it to experience, just look at the appearance of Ruying to know that this is a good horse that is one in a thousand.
Seeing his shocked face, Tang Yin said: "This is what I bought from other Mozambican horse dealers, I hope that Brother Zhao can also send a few such good horses from time to time" He said this, implying that Zhao Fu was not the only horse source in his hands, and also asked Zhao Fu not to try to pay attention to the price.
"Yes, yes, yes, definitely, definitely" Zhao Fu nodded again and again, and his original confident posture also decreased sharply.
Tang Yin smiled, turned his head to Shangguan Yuanji and said, "Find the best hotel in the city and settle Brother Zhao to stay, we can't neglect the guests." ” "Yes, my lord," Shangguan Yuanji replied, a faint smile on his face.
Tang Yin's performance was better than he expected, and he kept the price so low that he didn't have to negotiate with Zhao Fu again.
Finalizing the war horse with Zhao Fu made Tang Yin secretly relieved, and also made the plan in his heart take a big step forward, and the next step was to wait for Lotte and Ai Jia to send back the information of Beastmaster Town and the arrival of a large number of war horses from Mozambique.
Since Tang Yin took up his post in Pingyuan County, he has continuously mobilized troops to fight, first to exterminate bandits, and then to fight with barbarians, Pingyuan County has not been depressed by continuous conquests, but has shown signs of prosperity, of course, this is inseparable from the reason why Shangguan Yuanji presided over internal affairs.
Shangguan Yuanji's policy was thoroughly implemented because of Tang Yin's support, and the rewards for farming and the knighthood of civilians not only attracted the people who fled to the mountains to take refuge, but also attracted the people of other counties and towns to settle in Pingyuan County, and the substantial tax reduction on commerce attracted a large number of businessmen to come to Pingyuan County to do business, and the restrictions on officials' titles were abolished, so that a large number of talented civilians could get room for development and promotion.
The most obvious place to show this is Hengcheng, the county seat of Pingyuan County.
When Tang Yin first arrived in Hengcheng, there were hardly many pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides were also in a semi-closed state, and now, people came and went on the street, and there was an endless stream, and then looked at the shops in the city, all the facades were wide open, the guests came in and out, and the business was prosperous.
Such results were achieved in just a few months, which Tang Yin naturally did not expect.
The development of cities and towns is inseparable from the people's support, and in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, we must know what the people want, want to know what the people want, and ask subordinate officials for fear that they will not get accurate answers, and the best way is to go out and visit in person.
This night, after Tang Yin had dinner, he found Qiu Zhen, and the two changed into casual clothes made of coarse linen, left the county guard's mansion, and went to the most lively night market in Hengcheng.
In the past, the night market in Hengcheng will only have the last time every ten days and half a month, and there are few vendors in the night market, but now there are almost every night, the lanterns are colorful, and the series of lanterns illuminate the night market as bright as day, and there are many people who visit the night market, bustling, and the voices of people are boiling.
Walking here, Tang Yin had the illusion of being in Yancheng.
Tang Yin is busy with affairs, and he rarely finds time to come out, and he feels fresh to see everything, but Qiu Zhen is not, seeing Tang Yin looking around, he smiled and said: "Brother Tang, what do you think of Hengcheng Night Market" In private, Qiu Zhen's title to Tang Yin has become close to Brother Tang, and he pretends to be on patrol, and it is not appropriate to call him an adult.
"It's very lively, I feel like I'm back in Yancheng," Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Hehe" Qiu Zhen half-jokingly: "If we continue to develop like this, maybe one day the prosperity of Hengcheng can be compared to Yancheng."
Tang Yin smiled when he heard this.
Walking to a stall selling candy, Tang Yin stopped, he was not interested in snacks, but at this time he wanted to taste the candy flavor of Pingyuan County.
While picking out the candy grains, he asked the owner of the candy stall, "This big brother, how is the business lately?"
Tang Yin is handsome, and he is naturally smiling, which is very pleasing, of course, people who have a deep relationship with him will never think so.
The owner of the candy stall obviously had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Recently, there are more people in the city, and the business is also very good, little brother, listen to the accent, you are a foreigner, don't be at home, come to Hengcheng to do a small business, and you can buy a house and land in a few years."
Hearing what the boss said, Tang Yin's mood was extremely happy, and he was going to buy a pack of halva, but he picked up two more packs and asked, "How much is three packs?"

"Thirty copper plates."
Tang Yin didn't bring scattered copper plates, took out half a tael of broken silver from his pocket, handed it to the boss, and said with a smile: "Don't look for it." ” In the Windy Country, one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins, and half a tael of silver is a full five hundred.
The boss was startled at first, took the silver, and after confirming that it was true, he smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Tang Yin gave the candy in his hand to Qiu Zhen, and continued to stroll forward while eating.
The two had not taken two steps away from the candy stall when they suddenly heard an exclamation behind them.
Tang Yin looked back and saw three burly men standing in front of the candy stall, one of them grabbed the wrist of the boss holding the broken silver, and sneered: "The boss has a good business, I will help you accept this piece of silver, even if you pay for the stall here tonight."
The candy stall owner's face was ugly, he looked angry and didn't dare to speak, his face was flushed, and he stammered: "Isn't it only a hundred copper plates every night, and this piece of silver is enough for five hundred copper plates?"
The strong man didn't wait for the boss to finish speaking, snatched the broken silver in his hand, and then pushed the boss away, and before leaving, he and his companions each took away two bags of candy.
Looking at the backs of the three of them swaggering away, the candy stall owner trembled angrily, his fists clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to step forward to find his theory.
The three big men walked to the next vendor, just like just now, asking for money and taking things, with an arrogant attitude and arrogance, and the owners of the stall did not dare to provoke them at all, and let them bully.
Seeing this, Tang Yin frowned and looked at Qiu Zhen beside him suspiciously.
As the county warden of Pingyuan County, he didn't dare to treat the local people like this, these three big men were even more powerful than himself, lawless to the extreme, and even more odious was that they dared to collect taxes privately.
Qiu Zhen didn't know these three people either, and he whispered, "This should be a local bully."
After a pause, he said again: "I'll go and inform Gu Yue and ask him to send someone to arrest these people." ” Tang Yin waved his hand, only arresting these few people, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, if no one supported them, how could these three people be so arrogant and domineering, and if they wanted to arrest them, they had to catch the big head.
He said softly: "Remember to remind me when you go back, and let Cheng Jin come to see me immediately."
"Yes" Qiu Zhen agreed, but he was inexplicable in his heart, and he didn't understand why he didn't find Shangguan Yuanji or Bai Yong and Gu Yue, the captains of the corps, but went to Cheng Jin
