I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 177 Business is not like this
Is this girl a human?
Tang Can almost laughed angrily at Yuan Shang's handwritten letter.

Really are……

Thanks to her for coming up with such a bad idea.

On the side, Tong Mingde looked embarrassed.

In addition to embarrassment, there is also a little uneasiness.

after all.

This kind of humiliation is very direct and unbearable.

But it is undeniable that the benefits in exchange for this humiliation are really not small.

With [-] horses, you can avoid paying tribute for one year.

This benefit is really possible.

As the saying goes, people are poor and have short ambitions, while horses are thin and long-haired!
Tong Mingde is a very practical person. In Gaochang's current situation, embarrassment is nothing, but lack of money is the biggest problem.

He even said that if Yuan Shang asked him to raise horses for a year and save Gaochang from paying tribute, he would be the first to agree, and he would never hesitate.

No way, Gaochang... Poor.

Losing some people and getting some money back is more important than anything else!

On the way here, he had thought carefully about how to persuade Tang Can.

But before he could speak, Tang Can spoke first: "You can't do this in business."

what?
Tong Mingde was a little surprised, and looked at Tang Can in puzzlement.

Tang Can smiled: "Look, the letter only said that I was going to raise horses, but it didn't say where the pony came from."

"No way, I, Gao Chang, have to give her [-] horses, right?"

"Think about it, Daliang sells horses, and an ordinary horse costs [-] yuan."

"How much is that?"

"250 taels of silver."

"Gaochang military horse, if sold to Great Liang, 300 taels is the bottom line."

"Ten thousand horses, that's three million taels!"

"If the business is done like this, we will lose money!"

"Let's go, let's go to the king and make a good calculation."

Tong Mingde: ...

He was also worried that Tang Can would feel humiliated if he refused to agree.

But unexpectedly, Tang Can refused to agree, but what he thought was that such a deal was too bad!
This……

A strange emotion flashed in Tong Mingde's heart.

Can bend and stretch, man!
Two people, talking and walking, the pace is not slow.

It didn't take long and they had already arrived at the king's tent.

After the transmission, I saw Tuoba holding the child with a gentle face in the king's tent.

After meeting, Tang Can said directly: "My lord, I discussed it with Tong Mingde just now."

"Up to a thousand war horses, provided by Great Liang."

"Also, Great Liang must give at least fifteen hundred horses."

Tuoba looked at the energetic Tang Can with a look of astonishment.

"why?"

"You don't know how to settle accounts?"

Tang Can said angrily: "I told Tong Mingde just now, ten thousand horses, three million taels of silver!"

"Since when did Gaochang not be short of money?"

"Think about it, building a city now is the time when money is needed."

"If you help them train a thousand military horses, it will be 30 taels."

"If Great Liang wants another horse, we can sell it to him at a slightly cheaper price."

"At that time, they will definitely be willing."

"Really?" Tuoba was dubious, but still a little uncertain: "Great Liang, are you really willing to spend so much money on horses?"

When she said this, Tang Can couldn't help being startled.

It suddenly occurred to him that Tuoba had also been to the Divine Capital of Great Liang, and he seemed to have some unexplainable gray deals with Empress Yuan Shang in private.

"The king sold them before, how much is a horse?"

Tuoba's face froze, and he said with some guilt: "How could Gu sell it to the Daliang army horse? Isn't that shooting yourself in the foot!"

"Really?" Seeing her performance, Tang Can didn't understand anything, so he sneered and asked, "Then how many ponies did the king sell?"

Tuoba was even more embarrassed, lowered his head, teased the child, and whispered, "It's only a thousand horses."

"how much is it?"

"One hundred thousand..."

"How many!"

Tang Can was almost pissed off by Tuoba.

One hundred thousand, sold a thousand foals.

That is, 100 taels a horse, sold.

This loser...

No brains, no brains, no brains!

Tuoba seemed to know that what he did was wrong, but he said bravely, "Selling the foal, save yourself the cost of raising it, it's a good deal."

"What a bargain!"

Tang Can couldn't help exhaling fragrance, and his voice was a little loud.

The little baby girl in her arms was startled, woke up immediately, and started crying.

When he cried, Tang Can's heart softened.

At the same time, Tuoba carefully hid his hands, and would never admit that he just scratched the child's "armpit" secretly to wake her up.

After taking a deep breath and regaining his composure, Tang Can said as softly as possible: "The little pony can't be sold."

"Basically everyone knows how to raise horses in Gaochang, and everyone is familiar with it."

"It doesn't cost much to raise horses like this, it's just grazing, and pasture doesn't cost money."

"A thousand horses, if you have 100 people, you can take care of them."

"As for domestication, it's even simpler."

"Just let those who go hunting go with new horses."

"Think about it, a foal costs 300 taels if raised for one year!"

"This business, let you do that, isn't it a loss?"

Reason, even if it is such a reason, it is impossible for Tuoba to refute it.

He could only coax the child and bring it up again: "Can Great Liang agree? In the past, all alone were..."

"Stop talking about the past."

Tang Can couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Now that Great Liang has offered to buy a horse, it's because they refused the horse!"

"Ten thousand horses, don't even think about it, you are shameless and I want shame!"

"Up to a thousand horses, not negotiable."

After speaking, Tang Can flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Tong Mingde, who stayed in the king's tent, looked embarrassed, and whispered: "I will persuade him."

"It's okay, a thousand horses are a thousand horses, I'll find a way alone."

Tong Mingde took a deep breath, a little moved!
only……

He didn't know that after he left, the corners of Tuoba's mouth rose slightly.

She is still smart!

If the thousand horses hadn't been replaced with ten thousand horses in advance, Tang Can's donkey temper might not be so easy to agree...

Well, Yinliu knows more.

……

The next day.

Tang Can woke up early and remembered another matter. Before Wang Ting discussed matters, he found Tong Mingde, frowned and said, "Longqing, how did you arrange it?"

"I arranged for someone to deliver a letter to him." Tong Mingde frowned, and said softly, "But you also know that in Dafeichuan, it is not so easy to find someone."

"Similarly, if our letter cannot be delivered, Yelu Chuncai may not be able to find Long Qing either."

"En." Tang Can nodded, understood the truth, and simply stopped talking, waved his hand, and let Tong Mingde go to the discussion, while he walked away.

……

In a flash, it was several days.

Once the spring breeze is over, spring begins in Gaochang one day, and it seems that everything you see is green.

All the people are smiling...
