The border town is called Bamu Town. Although it is the trading center between Xiliao and Xiliang, it does not occupy a very large area. This is mainly because it belongs to the area where the two sides do not care and vicious fights often occur.
People without any influence would not dare to come here to trade. If ordinary people come here, they will most likely be robbed, and those who are unlucky may even lose their lives.
There are very few local residents here, but those who stay are mostly courageous and capable.
When Xiao Yeyang came to buy horses this time, he found a middleman in the town to match him.
The town was quite lively. Xiao Yeyang held the rice flowers and walked slowly on the street, carefully looking at everything in the town.
On the streets, Xiliao people are more numerous and active than Daxia people. This can also be seen from the side that in this town, Xiliao people are more powerful. If you think more deeply, you may also get a glimpse of the Xiliang capital in recent years. How weak the command department's defense is.
In the territory of Daxia, people from Xiliao can come and go at will, but they still have to suppress the people here. What else can it be but the incompetence of the government?
¡°This is a bit like a wholesale market.¡±
Daohua said to Xiao Yeyang while observing the vendors passing by on the street.
"Wholesale" Xiao Yeyang chewed on these two words, and then smiled and said: "What you said is quite appropriate."
Daohua continued: "If the government comes to manage it, this place will definitely be more standardized and lively."
?????
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "Didn't you come? I believe there will be such a day."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, his eyes shining with determination to win. Since he came to Xiliang, he had to make some achievements.
The trade on the main street was normal. When Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the back street, it became filled with a lot of unfair transactions.
Looking at the women being traded in cages, Daohua frowned subconsciously.
"These women are from Xiliao and Daxia.
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua through the street quickly, and soon came to a courtyard that looked pretty good.
After Defu went up and knocked on the door, a middle-aged strong man soon walked out.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the strong man Ma Teng immediately put a smile on his face, cupped his fists and saluted: "Master Xiao is here, please sit in the room."
Xiao Yeyang: "No, Boss Ma, I don't have much time. I just want to go see the horses now. Is the horse dealer here?"
Ma Teng knew nothing about it. This person in front of him is a big customer. As long as he facilitates today's transaction, he can get a lot of commission: "Here, here, I've been here for a while. Can I take you over now?"
Xiao Yeyang said ¡®hmm¡¯: ¡°Lead the way.¡±
Because Xiao Yeyang wanted more horses, the horse traders did not enter the town, but waited outside the town.
Everyone was about to turn around and leave, but Daohua suddenly spoke: "Boss, I see there are two black and white cows in your yard?"
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly: "Madam, you have good eyesight. There are indeed two cows. They were left by a caravan from Xiliao to me for consignment. Unfortunately, because the asking price is too high, no one has bought them yet. "
Daohua: "Can we go in and have a look?"
Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang and saw that he had no objection, so he immediately invited a few people into the yard.
Looking at the two black-and-white cows in the yard that were obviously taller than ordinary cows, Xiao Yeyang asked: "There are still this kind of cows in Xiliao?"
Ma Teng smiled and shook his head: "It's not from Xiliao. It was exchanged by merchants from Xiliao and other countries in the Western Region. Maybe they ate too much and didn't want to raise it, so they left it here with me."
Seeing the rice flowers swirling around the two cows, Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile: "Want to buy?"
Daohua nodded quickly, Friesian cows, this is the breed of cow with the highest milk production.
Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Ma Teng: "We want these two cows."
Ma Teng immediately grinned: "These two cows happen to be one male and one female. Mr. Xiao and his wife will definitely not lose money if they buy them back."
Thank God, he finally bought these two cows. You know, after the cows were placed with him, he spent a lot of money to buy pasture. If someone bought them, he would naturally be extremely happy.
Mei Lan and Mei Ju stepped forward to untie the rope, and each of them pulled one end out of the yard.
Xiao Yeyang felt Daohua's happiness and said with a smile: "It's just two cows, do you need to be so happy?"
Daohua: "You don't understand "
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Ma Teng again, turned around and got into the carriage.
?¡
Looking at the carriage going away, Ma Teng lowered his eyes and began to ponder: "This Master Xiao his background seems to be very simple."
As a middleman, in order to avoid trouble, he actually didn't want to inquire about the background of the buyer and seller, but today Master Xiao gave him too much pressure. The force of Yelu Baichi's group of Xiliao people was not low, but they were beaten by Master Xiao. All his men were wiped out. This was definitely not an ordinary businessman.
He had to find a way to find out who this Master Xiao was.
On the other side, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua, Bu Gandang and others to meet up.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the five hundred horses surrounding the secret guards: "How about it, are the horses still obedient?"
Bu Gandang took out the whistle and said, "With this whistle, the horses don't run around."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "That's good. You guys have to work hard and send the horses to the newly built Ganxuan Town overnight. When I get back, I will start training the soldiers in riding and archery."
Bu Gan took the order and left.
In the carriage, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang frowning and asked, "But there are not enough horses?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Ganzhou Wei originally had about a thousand horses, and today's 500 horses, the total is only 1,500 horses. Usually a small fight is enough, but it needs to be done quickly. It is indeed impossible to take back Danhe."
"I went to Danhe to take a look before. There are 20,000 Xiliao troops stationed there. If we want to win a quick battle, we must train at least 5,000 cavalry."
"Once the time goes on for a long time, the Xiliao army comes to support. If you are not careful, it may trigger a full-scale war."
"Now the emperor's uncle's attention is on the navy. He definitely doesn't want chaos in the northwest. Fighting on two fronts will be too much for the national treasury."
Daohua thought for a while: "Have you noticed that there seems to be a special shortage of tea in Xiliao. I just paid close attention to the transactions in Bamu Town and found that someone actually exchanged a cow for a can of tea."
Xiao Yeyang: "Xiliao people live a nomadic life, and they eat almost all hot, greasy, and difficult-to-digest foods such as beef, mutton, and milk. They need to drink tea regularly to improve their physical condition. Tea is actually a good food in Xiliao. Plant good medicine to cure diseases.¡±
Daohua: "Since they are so short of tea, you can trade it with them."
Xiao Yeyang began to ponder: "This method does work, but judging from the words of the Xiliao man just now, Xiliao has strictly controlled the sale of horses in the past two years. If you want to buy horses in large quantities, there is no way I'm afraid it won't work for acquaintances." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
