Chapter 842 The sale of ten million stone grain and grass
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Cai Hao's head was pounding like garlic, and his face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Good luck came so suddenly!
It was as if a lump of gold fell from the sky, hitting Cai Mao until stars appeared in his eyes.
Liu Biao tried his best to restrain the joy in his heart, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Deng Zhizong, Qin Gong is so generous, how can Benzhou Mu live up to Qin Gong's kindness?"
"Honzhou Mu has agreed to the Wuguan matter! I hope Qin Gong can trade war horses as soon as possible!"
The contrast between Liu Biao and Liu Biao was so great that Deng Zhi couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
This is a rustic, and as soon as the war horse exits, his true colors are revealed.
"Liu Jingzhou, don't worry, we haven't discussed the price yet..."
Liu Biao slapped his forehead and reacted immediately.
That’s right! Deng Zhi hasn’t negotiated the price yet!
If Liu Zhang sets the price of the war horse at a sky-high price, Liu Biao will not be able to accept it.
Then there is no difference from not selling it to him!
"Deng Zhizhi, Duke Qin can't open his mouth like a lion...?"
Cai Mao looked at Deng Zhi with some embarrassment, his eyes filled with prayers.
It is said that it was purchased by the Jingzhou Prefectural Mufu, but in fact it was jointly financed by major aristocratic families in Jingzhou headed by Cai Mao.
Now that Nanjun has been lost, the tax revenue of the entire Jingzhou has been severely reduced, and the price is too expensive and cannot be afforded.
Deng Zhi smiled and then stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred stones of grain in exchange for a war horse!"
"Qin Gong said, this is the price of friendship!"
Liu Biao and Cai Mao were stunned for a moment, and then surprise appeared in their eyes.
Suitable, so suitable!
As Liu Zhang said, it is definitely a friendship price!
Wanting to buy a war horse at this price in Jingzhou is simply fantastic!
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the price of a war horse ranged from 50,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.
After twenty years of fighting, the price of war horses has already skyrocketed!
However, food prices are relatively stable in relatively stable states and counties.
Generally, one stone of grain costs between 20 and 100 yuan, which will fluctuate according to the market price.
Prices in Jingzhou will be very low when there is a bumper grain harvest. You can definitely buy one stone of grain for about 40 yuan.
The 500 shi of grain offered by Liu Zhang is equivalent to between 10,000 and 50,000 yuan!
This is no different from a clearance sale!
Even Jingzhou can make a fortune by reselling war horses!
"Deng Zhizhi, are you sure it's five hundred shi of grain?"
Cai Mao couldn't help but ask again. He couldn't believe there was such a favorable price.
In Cai Mao's mind, a war horse costs at least a thousand dan!
Deng Zhi raised his eyebrows, revealing a trace of teasing.
"Why, General Cai thinks it's cheap?"
"If Jingzhou is rich and powerful, Duke Qin will naturally be extremely happy!"
After receiving Deng Zhi's confirmation, Cai Hao smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"What the hell! Deng Zheng was joking!"
"Mr. Qin is truly worthy of being a great hero in this world. His courage alone is unmatched by others!"
Deng Zhi also nodded, and when he complimented Liu Zhang, he naturally had to show his approval.
"Liu Jingzhou, General Cai, I wonder how many horses you two want?"
After Deng Zhi finished speaking, he became nervous.
The reselling of war horses this time was actually a last resort.
There is no food in Guanzhong, and there is not that much food in Yizhou. All we can hope for is the food exchanged by war horses.
Whether Liu Zhang's life in Guanzhong was bitter or sweet depended entirely on how much Liu Biao and Cai Hao wanted to buy.
The war horse could have been priced higher, but considering the current conditions in Jingzhou, it might be difficult to pay for it too much.
But the price of five hundred shi of grain for a war horse is definitely far lower than the market price.
This will also stimulate the desire to buy war horses within Jingzhou!
Anyway, these war horses were given by the Xianbei people. Liu Zhang didn't pay any cost, so he was completely free of charge!
Otherwise, just raising these war horses will consume a lot of food and grass.
Although it is a selected inferior war horse, its ability and performance are definitely not comparable to that of the Jingxiang horse!
Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others will definitely fall in love with it when they see it!
However, Liu Biao and Cai Hao immediately hesitated as to how many war horses to buy.
In fact, it was Cai Hao who hesitated, and Liu Biao looked at Cai Hao's hesitation.
Liu Biao's prefectural pastorate had no real power, and everything had to be decided by Cai Mao.
After all, Cai Mao had to find a way to get food, and the state pastoral office was unable to obtain food.
Even if you only buy one horse, it has to be paid for by the Cai Mansion!
Cai Hao was extremely conflicted at this moment. He knew how much Cai Mansion could eat based on his ability, but Cai Hao was unwilling to give in!
It’s hard to get this opportunity. If you miss it this time, maybe Liu Zhang won’t sell it next time!
If you resell these war horses casually, you can easily make double the profit by selling them to Jiangdong!
After thinking about it, Cai Mao became cruel, stamped his foot, and stretched out two fingers?
"Only two thousand horses?"
Deng Zhi frowned, his voice full of disappointment.
Is Jingzhou so poor?
Can you only take one million stone grain and grass?
"General Cai, forget it if you run out of food! Even if you buy two thousand horses, it won't be enough for us!"
"No no no!"
Cai Mao waved his hands repeatedly, and then took a deep breath.
"I want to buy 20,000 horses!"
Wow...!
Suddenly there were exclamations in the room, and everyone looked at Cai Hao in astonishment.
Twenty thousand horses?
That’s ten million stones of food and grass!
The Cai family is too rich!
Even Liu Biao opened his mouth in shock!
When did Jingzhou become so rich? Cai Mao could actually buy 20,000 horses!
Deng Zhi tried his best to restrain his joy and confirmed with Cai Mao again.
"General Cai, are you sure there are 20,000 war horses?"
"It's not easy to transport war horses from Chang'an to Wuguan! If you dare to tease Duke Qin, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Cai Hao's eyes were firm and he nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Mr. Deng, Mr. Cai will definitely raise the food and grass!"
There are 20,000 cavalry for 20,000 horses!
With these 20,000 cavalry, Cai Mao could travel across the Jiang and Han Dynasties without fear of anyone!
No matter how strong Liu Bei is, he can only hide in the city. As long as he dares to come out, he can be defeated in one battle!
It can be said that these 20,000 war horses carry Cai Mao's hope of dominating Jingzhou!
As for 10 million stones of grain and grass, Cai Mao himself would definitely not be able to come up with it.
He also had to go to the Kuai brothers, the Pang family, the Huang family, the Ma family, the Xiang family, etc. for discussion.
The only pity is that the Kuai brothers didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Biao, so they are not here today.
Deng Zhi received Cai Mao's confirmation, and his anxious heart finally calmed down.
With these tens of millions of stones, grain and grass, all problems will be solved!
"Okay, I have faith in General Cai! Let's high-five each other!"
Bang bang bang!
Cai Hao and Deng Zhi high-fived three times in a row and immediately confirmed the deal.
"In one month, Cai will definitely gather 10 million stones of food and grass at the foot of Wuguan City!"
“It’s a deal!”
All Deng Zhi's goals were achieved and he immediately said goodbye to everyone.
"Liu Jingzhou, General Cai, it will take some time to prepare the 20,000 war horses. In order not to delay the important event, I will take my leave!"
"Deng Zheng, wait a moment!"
Cai Hao quickly stepped forward and stopped Deng Zhi.
