All Hail Cousin Brother

The latest website: Speaking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "Miss looks gentle and magnanimous, but she has a sharp personality, and she is about to overwhelm Miss San in every way. Instigated the Elder Master to ask for an imperial order for her deceased mother. The eldest lady is sick, not dead. Even if Mrs. Xie is the original wife, she has not surpassed the living wife to ask for an imperial order for the dead original wife. of……"

But she knew that the first day the Eldest Master asked Mrs. Xie for a seal, the Eldest Miss made a special trip to the Great Study to find the Eldest Master, and then the Eldest Master went to the old lady's room.

It must be the young lady, who wanted the old lady to ask for an order for his mother, but the old lady couldn't make up her mind, so she went to find the old lady, but the old lady was out of the same nostrils as the young lady, so she must have thanked her. Madam.

Lai Pozi used to work in the Yu Mansion and saw the intrigue in the inner houses of the rich family, so she firmly believed in this statement.

This didn't come out of one belly, how could it be one heart?

While talking, Bai Ye couldn't help feeling sad: "Miss San gave in everywhere, and everyone hid in the Zhuangzi. What is there to be dissatisfied with, Miss San? If it weren't for Miss San's age, it would be difficult to continue living in Zhuangzi. In fact, the third lady will not be forced to go back to the mansion. Since the third lady returned to the mansion, she has been a little depressed. The eldest lady is still alive, and it is already... If the eldest lady... how can there be three in this mansion? Miss's way of life? Third Miss is such a good person, how can she make Eldest Miss mean..."

Mrs. Lai thought, the third lady in the mansion is kind to their grandparents and grandchildren, and she is indeed a kind-hearted person. As she grows older, her granddaughter has no relatives and no reason. Only when the lady is well is the granddaughter able to be well.

Thinking of this, she asked Mrs. Yang about it.

Bai Ye didn't hide anything, and babbled about the situation of the eldest lady: "...the eldest lady has become sober recently, and the doctor asked me to eat more ginseng, I'm afraid..."

Mrs. Lai's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she patted her granddaughter's hand: "Someday you can mention to Miss San that when I broke up the contract with the mansion, life at home was not easy, and I was also taken care of by Mrs. Yang. Working in the hot spring village is the only way to survive, it is rare to go to the mansion, I want to kowtow to Mrs. Yang."

This request is also reasonable.

Mrs. Lai obediently stayed in the hospital, and Yu Jianjia also listened to the old lady's words, and went to Jingxinju to visit Mrs. Yang every day.

The mansion is also safe and sound.

On this day, Yu Youyao received a letter from her cousin,

The letter only mentioned returning home at the end of the month.

Yu Youyao is also used to it. Cousin will not mention any sensitive words in the letter. The information she wants to know will be known from the mouth of Yin Qi who sent the letter.

The post station is not safe, and it is common to check letters. Even if the letter does not go through the post station, the letter itself is the handle.

Once there is a change in the court, the first thing to check is the letter.

No matter how tightly hidden, there will be omissions.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Yin Qiyi knew everything about Yu Youyao: "Beijing and Beidi have successfully reached a transaction negotiation. At the price of 300 taels per horse and 1,800 yuan per bucket of grain and rice, the two sides will exchange horses for food. , The first transaction was completed at the end of July, and Beidi traded a hundred horses and a hundred sheep."

The first transaction can be regarded as a trial transaction with sincerity by both parties. The number of transactions is not large. Only when the first transaction is successful can the two parties establish initial trust, and then there will be the second and third times...

"Three hundred taels!" Yu Youyao made a calculation in her heart instantly, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

The most common old horse in the Great Zhou Dynasty cost more than thirty taels of silver, and the better ones cost six to seventy taels. The price of a high-quality war horse cost more than three hundred taels.

Yu Youyao has come into contact with horse dealers and horse dealers. A Beidi war horse can fetch a high price of seven or eight hundred taels, or even thousands of taels in the hands of a horse dealer in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

For such an outrageous price, apart from Beidi's war horses being rare and rare, the horse dealers also took a big risk in trading with Beidi.

In the transaction with Beidi, the price must not be calculated in this way.

But even so, Yu Youyao slapped the plate loudly and wrote to her cousin, as long as the price of a war horse does not exceed five hundred taels, the deal is worth it.

Unexpectedly, my cousin was so capable that he traded Beidi's war horse for the price of a war horse from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Can the war horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty be compared with those of Beidi?

Absolutely not!

The current price of a liter of rice in the Great Zhou Dynasty is 180 Wen, and the price of a bucket of rice is 1800 Wen. My cousin did not take advantage of the fire and traded with Beidi at the market price, which is considered very "sincere".

One is sold at the market price, and the other is bought at the market price. Comparing each other, neither side seems to suffer.

but!

The account is not calculated like this.

How can the market price of a bucket of grain and rice be compared with the market price of a war horse?

The two are not in the same gear at all.

Cousin took advantage of it.

However, food is also in short supply in Beidi. Generally speaking, both parties have achieved their goals at the "market price", and the first transaction can be considered a success.

Cousin is simply too powerful, able to keep the price of war horses down to such a low level.

Yu Youyao had a clue in her mind: "How many times have the two parties negotiated?"

Yin Qidao: "There are three times in total. The second transaction will be in early August. Beidi will trade 100 horses, 100 cows, and 300 sheep. The third transaction will be in the second ten days of the month. A cow, a thousand sheep."

Originally, Harmon only wanted to trade 500 war horses, and he wanted to exchange large quantities of cattle and sheep.

Even the people in Beidi can't get enough to eat, so how can they afford to feed a lot of cattle and sheep?

While the cattle and sheep are still alive, quickly exchange meat for food, which can also be exchanged for a higher price.

Seven hundred war horses were settled after a long tug-of-war between the two sides. This was already the maximum amount that Harmon could trade, and he couldn't and would not take any more.

After all, five hundred war horses can already form the most elite cavalry.

Any more would be a terrible threat to Beidi.

Feeling relieved, Yu Youyao asked, "Is my cousin still in good health? How's the drought in the north?"

Yin Qi's heart skipped a beat, but after all, he was the most outstanding hidden guard by the young master's side. He panicked a lot in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Young master, he is fine." The injury on his arm has almost recovered It’s okay, it’s all right, “The drought in the northern border is very serious. The Wumu Palace took the lead and encouraged the people to cut sweet potatoes. Most of the people have planted sweet potatoes in their homes. Those who planted earlier can already eat sweet potato leaves to satisfy their hunger. , the situation is still under control.”

In June, the sweet potatoes cut in the field sprouted vines again, and the manager of the village arranged for the people to plant another batch.
