After Wang Defa came back, he immediately ran to the Yamen Mansion to report his transaction to Zhou Yi.
"I am so lucky to have fulfilled my destiny and brought back all the cattle, sheep and horses we agreed on earlier!"
"After this successful transaction, the Khitan people also agreed to exchange more cattle and horses in the future. Next time they are willing to increase the transaction volume by five times based on this time, but..."
Zhou Yi thought that Tuo Ba Lie wanted the lion to open his mouth, so he quickly asked: "Just what?"
Wang Defa hesitated and said: "They asked for more mustard."
Zhou Yi thought it was a request, but it turned out to be just to ask for a few more packs of mustard.
If you want Zhou Yi to add money and silver, that is impossible. But if he just asked for more mustard, Zhou Yi still felt that the business was a sure profit.
"No problem. The head of the Wang family will leave it to you to negotiate with them in the future. You can increase the price appropriately. It's okay to let Tuo Ba Lie and his family become second-rate traders. Remember to ask them to exchange more cows and horses!"
After explaining this, Zhou Yi couldn't wait to go and see the horses exchanged by the Khitans.
When he arrived at the ranch, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because the horses in front of him were not the tall horses that Zhou Yi had imagined.
Although these horses that were exchanged from Tuobalie had a rough and strong physique, with deep and long rib cages and straight backs, they were smaller in size and had stubby limbs, much like the Mongolian horses in their previous lives.
The reason why Zhou Yi was a little disappointed was not because the Mongolian horses were not good. Compared with the Arabian horses, the Mongolian horses were naturally thick-skinned and did not need too fine feed. Although the explosive power is not as good as that of Arabian horses, the endurance of Mongolian horses is not comparable to that of Arabian horses.
It can be said that a ruler is long and an inch is short!
"Don't they have any better or taller horses? Why are they all so short?"
Wang Dehua quickly explained: "The villain also asked at first. The Khitan people said that the best and tallest horses from each tribe were sent to the Khitan royal court. Most of the horses in the tribe are short like this."
Zhou Yi snorted coldly: "What a liar. When Tuo Ba Lie was captured last time, his mount was that kind of big horse."
"He Tuobali just wants to raise the price. Next time you meet him, let him set a price. As long as he is willing to sell that kind of big horse, he can get whatever he wants!"
However, Zhou Yi misunderstood Tuobalie. Most of the horses on the northeastern grasslands of the Khitan tribe were short horses similar to Mongolian horses.
As for the Xiongnu, because they bordered the Western Regions, they could purchase tall horses similar to the sweat-blooded BMWs from the countries in the Western Regions. Even so, the only people the Xiongnu could ride on the sweat-blooded BMWs were tribal leaders and royal elites. The rest of the ordinary soldiers also rode dwarf horses similar to Mongolian horses.
Although tall and muscular BMWs occasionally appear on the grassland, it is not easy to catch and tame them.
Tuo Ba Lie discovered a BMW last time and followed the horse to the vicinity of Pingjiang County. The horse was not caught, and he became Zhou Yi's prisoner.
However, Tuobalie lost his horse, which was not a blessing.
If he can ride on the big ship of Zhou Yi, his tribe will definitely be able to rise slowly in the future.
Ten days later, Wang Defa and his men dragged a large amount of grain and mustard out of the city again. This time he brought back more cattle, sheep and horses.
This time Ye Wuhua was even more sure that Wang Defa was sent by Zhouyi to make a deal with the Khitan.
However, in order to obtain evidence, Ye Wuhua specially went to invite Wang Defa, the head of the Wang family, to dinner, and took the opportunity to get Wang Defa drunk and obtain evidence from him that Zhou Yi had an affair with the Khitan.
However, Wang Defa did not accept Ye Wuhua's invitation.
Since Ye Wuhua and the others were not whipped together with him last time, their major families have begun to exclude Ye Wuhua.
It happened that Li Xiuliang, the head of the Li family, and Guo Chuan, the head of the Guo family, also came over at this time, and they happily invited Wang Defa to have dinner with them.
Wang Defa naturally did not refuse, and deliberately congratulated the other two in front of Ye Wuhua: "Oh my, I heard that the head of the Li family was arranged by Magistrate Zhou to be the general manager of the state-owned soybean oil farm? Congratulations!"
"It is also gratifying that the head of the Guo family is also the director of a state-owned cotton spinning factory!"
Li Xiuliang and Guo Chuan also congratulated: "No, Master Wang, aren't you also promoted to the director of the state-owned breeding farm!"
Wang Defa responded with a smile: "Hahahaha, we all have a bright future."
At this moment, Li Xiuliang deliberately asked sarcastically: "Huh? The head of the Ye family doesn't know what kind of work the county magistrate has arranged for you?"
The head of the Guo family laughed again and said: "It seems that the head of the Ye family has limited abilities and has not been entrusted with important responsibilities by the county magistrate!"
The three heads of the Wang family, Li family, and Guo family suddenly laughed together.
Ye Wuhua, who was ridiculed, just smiled awkwardly and said nothing, thinking: "A bunch of idiots who didn't even know how much money they were sold to."
"The one who induced you to buy food is Li Feiyu, and the one who stole your food is also Li Feiyu. Maybe Boss Yang is also someone sent by Li Feiyu."
Although Ye Wuhua thought so, he never thought that he was the one who introduced the so-called Boss Yang of Beijing to the heads of the Wang family, Li family, Guo family and other families.
Now being ridiculed by the heads of the Wang family, Li family, and Guo family, Ye Wuhua felt annoyed and angry.
Seeing the heads of the Wang family, Li family, and Guo family leaving together, Ye Wuhua became more determined to overthrow Zhou Yi.
Regardless of whether there is any evidence now, after Ye Wuhua returned to the family, he immediately went into his study and filled out his conjecture into a letter, a whistleblower letter to officials of Yan Song's line.
The last time Zhou Yi took out a letter from an official of Yan Song's lineage to Ye Wuhua, Ye Wuhua already knew that his family probably had Zhou Yi's spy, so he had to find someone he trusted most to send the letter. People do it.
Therefore, Ye Wuhua secretly called his most trusted shopkeeper, Ye Jianrong, and ordered him to leave Pingjiang County secretly and deliver this letter to the officials of Yan Song's lineage.
Ye Wuhua said to Ye Jianrong: "This letter is the key to overthrowing Li Feiyu. You must personally deliver it to Mr. Lu this time!"
Ye Jianrong nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely deliver this letter to that gentleman!"
After saying that, Ye Jianrong stuffed Ye Wuhua's autographed letter into his arms and secretly left Yejiazhuang under the cover of night with a donkey.
Seeing Ye Jianrong disappear into the night, a trace of smile appeared on Ye Wuhua's face.
"Hehe, Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, your good days are over. Regardless of whether my guess is true or not, you, Li Feiyu, can't explain the origins of those cattle, sheep, and horses!"
