These words seemed to touch the dull pain of the rough man, and he rolled up his sleeves: "Does this sick man deserve a beating?"
Jia Lian did not try to control his anger with others. He poured wine for the two of them with a smile and extended his hand: "It is fate that we meet."
The rough man was immediately attracted by the wine. He glared at the white-faced man. Finally, he picked up the wine cup and drank a sip of wine. The rough man's anger disappeared and he reached out to Jia Lian: "Brother, how do you sell this wine?"
Jia Lian waved his hand: "Not for sale!"
The rough man suddenly felt fooled: "You won't sell it? What are you doing if you don't sell it?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "I don't want money. I am a businessman. I have to take other goods back when I sell the wine. Instead of wasting time by buying and selling, it is better to exchange goods directly."
The rough man suddenly laughed: "Happily, what do you want to change?"
Jia Lian asked back: "Do you want a drink?"
The rough man laughed: "Nonsense, I don't care what you are doing?"
Jia Lian asked: "What goods do you have?"
The rough man said: "I am a horse herder. I have all the horses, cattle and sheep in my hands. I can have as many as I want."
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, and frowned: "I took a quick look before I came in, and it seems that there is no store like what you said?"
The rough man smiled: "This is your first time here. Once the deal is concluded, the goods will naturally come. There is no reason to bring living animals with you. There is no room for them here!"
Jia Lian asked: "What's the price?"
The rough man stretched out his hand, talking and gesturing with his fingers.
Jia Lian saw it clearly and said: "The price is a bit expensive. You paid twice as much as the market."
The rough man¡¯s eyes showed contempt: ¡°Can you buy such a good thing from me in the market?¡±
Jia Lian pondered for a moment and stopped answering, but looked at the white-faced man: "Brother, what's the price of the green salt?"
The rough man was anxious: "You haven't finished talking to me yet?"
Jia Lian waved his hand: "I told you, it's a bit expensive. No matter how much you mount, there's no reason to triple it. I'm crawling on the ice and sleeping in the snow in the cold winter. I can't lose my capital. I told you I'm a businessman, a businessman. Chasing profits!"
The salt dealer felt at ease at this time: "Brother, how much do you want, I'll sell it to you at a cheap price."
Jia Lian said: "To be honest, I don't dare to ask for more green salt. The court strictly prohibits the private sale of salt and iron. I'm afraid of capsizing the ship if I take too much. I'm a businessman and I can't do business at a loss."
As soon as these words were said, both people at the table showed the same smiles as before, and they both regarded Jia Lian as a coward.
But, does the aroma of Jia Lian¡¯s wine seduce the greedy worms in your stomach?
The rough man drank three glasses in a row and looked at Jia Lian again: "Okay, I will suffer a little loss. One jar of wine, one horse, two cows, and three sheep. Do you want to do it?"
Jia Lian was a little confused. The gesture the rough man made just now was one, two, three. Wasn't it twelve, twenty, two, and thirty taels? But one altar, two altars and three altars?
Why did the rules change? Back then, they didn¡¯t quote prices and then barter?
When the rough man saw Jia Lian groaning, he thought he was still not satisfied, so he immediately became angry: "You boy, you look like a man with a beard on your face, why do you act like a girl? The price I paid is not low, you are still not satisfied? You?" Is this too greedy?"
Jia Lian asked: "You mean three jars of fine wine and one horse?"
The rough man waved his hand: "Now I can exchange you a horse for a jar of fine wine, or you can buy two cows."
Jia Lian almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The wine and the jar together only cost two taels of silver.
"It costs ten taels of silver to mount a horse in the market, and three taels of silver to dismount."
Jia Lian was ecstatic: "It's gone."
He held his breath and asked: "How many altars do you want, brother?"
The rough man twirled his fingers and said: "We have a total of 103 households, and each family has two jars. No, it's not enough to drink. Three jars, that's all we can buy. I have to buy some rice and noodles. It's not enough to just drink during the New Year. Three hundred and nine altars.¡±
Jia Lian frowned: "Are you going to use horses or cattle and sheep?"
The rough man said: "Anything is fine, I'll give you whatever you want."
Jia Lian asked carefully: "We need to bring some other goods when we go back. The ox-cart is too slow. I want a horse. But brother, I'm going to say something ugly first. A pony under three years old will not be used if it is over thirteen years old." I don¡¯t want that old horse. It¡¯s not easy to get rid of. If it falls into my hands, I will lose money. I am a businessman and I don¡¯t do business where I lose money.¡±
The rough man said: "Don't worry, they are all green horses. They are over four years old and under ten years old, under three years old, and over thirteen years old. I am too lazy to pull them out. It is unlucky to die on the road."The man cupped his fists and said, "Yesterday you gave me a green ox. As a courtesy, I will also give you a gift today. This is my family's secret medicinal wine. It can save people's lives at critical moments. Please don't drink it as water and wine."
The rough man took the blue and white porcelain vase, put it in his arms with great treasure, then bent down to salute, and said: "Thank you, brother, I am polite to you."
Jia Lian was surprised: "You speak Chinese very well. I thought you were a Han who migrated there?"
The rough man smiled and said: "I am half Han Chinese. It is not bad to say that I am Han. My grandma was saved by my grandpa when she fled. My mother is also Han. I have been able to speak Chinese since I was a child. This is why my tribe asked me to take the lead in trading. "
Jia Lian was surprised: "Have you never thought about returning to the Han nationality and living a stable farming life?"
Chaolu shook his head: "My father and I both like the feeling of running on the grassland. Although it is very hard, it is very enjoyable. As for here, I bring my grandmother and mother back every year to visit, and that is enough."
Jia Lian raised a question in his mind, why do so many girls just happen to flee to the grasslands, but are unwilling to come back to settle down after settling down?
Returning to the station that day, Jia Lian explained his doubts.
Wei Kun smiled and said: "You are so smart, you should be able to guess their identities, right?"
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "Is she really the daughter of the guilty minister?"
Wei Kun nodded: "To be precise, they are camp prostitutes. Every year, there are some fierce women who would rather die than obey and escape into the vast grassland. We have an unwritten rule here. If someone would rather die than surrender and escape, the garrison will generally not really Most of them just do it for a show. Whether they survive or not depends entirely on their luck."
Jia Lian sighed: "There should be fewer people running away, and even fewer surviving, right?"
Wei Kun nodded: "Exactly!"
Chaolu¡¯s family are all kind-hearted people.
Jia Lian, who thought his heart had softened a lot, felt inexplicably sad that night. He thought of Qiaojie who was trafficked, Xiangyun who was sold by the officials, Yingchun who died tragically, Tanchun who married far away, and Xichun who was missing. If they could meet a good man like Chaolu's grandfather and father
The next day, Jia Lian met Chaolu again. This time Jia Lian bought Chaolu's remaining 400 horses and 500 sheep. Finally, Jia Lian presented Chaolu with twenty altars wrapped in red silk. Liquor, two bottles of Jia's medicinal wine.
Jia Lian said: "We Han people all have the custom of giving dowries to our daughters. Your grandmother and mother fled to the grassland and probably don't have a dowry. You go back and tell your grandmother and mother that this wine also has a name called Nuerhong!"
Chaolu immediately fell into disbelief and started chattering in Mongolian in excitement.
It will soon be New Year¡¯s Eve.
On New Year¡¯s Eve, Jia Lian rarely got drunk.
Xue DaZi was also drunk. He went to Jia Lian's camp and went crazy with alcohol. He cried for his father and his mother at the same time. The crying made Jia Lian think of those tragic days and felt sad for no reason. The two grown men hugged each other and cried together.
Fortunately, there are very few sober people in the Imperial Guard.
When he sobered up the next day, Jia Lian could still remember the ugly behavior of being immoral after drinking, and made up his mind not to drink to drown his sorrows in the future.
Xue Pan seduced Jia Lian to the point of making a fool of himself. He seemed to have amnesia and forgot all about what he said before about breaking off relations with Jia Lian. He stayed behind Jia Lian's butt with shame and shame all day long.
Jia Lian hated him for bringing him into trouble and was too lazy to pay him any attention.
He actually became familiar with dozens of family members in the Jia family.
He is a man who is willing to spend money and knows how to play tricks. There was no military training in the New Year, so Xue Pan suddenly had a place to play, teaching everyone how to play in different ways. Shuiwen's Shuiziying and Xue Pan are the same thing. They all have similar odors and quickly got along with each other.
Although Jia Lian felt sorry for Xue Pan's loneliness, after discovering that Xue Pan had lured the Imperial Guards to the station to visit prostitutes, he decisively turned Xue Pan away and punished several soldiers who followed Xue Pan by deducting their monthly pay.
Xue Pan was also punished by Wei Kun and was forced to dig trenches for one month. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
