Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 677: : Take advantage

Latest website: Speaking of this, Baiye couldn't help but blush: "The eldest lady looks gentle and generous, but she has a picky temper. She always overpowers the third lady. She herself was banned from Shaoyi County Lord, he also instigated the eldest master to seek a royal decree for her deceased mother. The eldest lady was ill, not dead. Even though Mrs. Xie was the original wife, she did not go beyond the living wife to marry the dead first wife. Please give me the imperial edict..."

She knew that on the first day when the eldest man asked Madam Xie for a title, the eldest lady made a special trip to the big study to find the eldest man, and then the eldest man went to the old lady's room.

It must be the eldest lady. She wanted the eldest man to ask for a royal decree for his mother. The eldest man could not make up his mind, so he went to find the old lady, but the old lady was so angry with the eldest lady that she must have Facing Mrs. Xie.

Mr. Lai used to work in the Yu Mansion and saw the intrigues in the inner rooms of wealthy families, so she believed this without any doubt.

This didn’t come from the belly, how could it be from the heart?

As she said this, Baiye couldn't help but feel sad: "The third lady gave in at every turn, and everyone hid in Zhuangzi. What else could the eldest lady be dissatisfied about? If the third lady hadn't grown older, it would be difficult to continue. Living in the village, the third lady will not be forced to have no choice but to return to the mansion. Since the third lady returned to the mansion, she has been a little depressed. If the eldest lady is still alive, it will be... If the eldest lady... this mansion Is there any way for the third lady to survive? The third lady is such a good person, how can she make the eldest lady look bad..."

Mrs. Lai thought that the third lady in the house was kind to her grandson and grandson. She was indeed a kind-hearted person. She was getting older and her granddaughter had no relatives for no reason. In the future, she could only rely on the third lady to reward her with a meal. Eat, the third lady will be well, then the granddaughter will be well.

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

Baiye didn't hide anything, and talked about the eldest lady's situation: "...the eldest lady has become much more awake recently. The doctor asked me to eat more ginseng, I'm afraid..."

Mr. Lai's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she patted her granddaughter's hand: "Someday you can mention it to Miss Third. Back then, I terminated the contract with the government, and life at home was not easy. It was also because of Mrs. Yang's fault. I have to take care of her and work at the hot spring village, so I have a way of living. It is rare to go into the house, and I want to kowtow to Mrs. Yang."

This request is reasonable.

Mr. Lai stayed in Kuehuiyuan honestly. Yu Jianjia also took the old lady's words into her heart and went to Jingxin Residence to visit Mrs. Yang every day.

The house is also peaceful.

On this day, Yu Youyao received a reply from her cousin, which only mentioned returning home at the end of the month.

Yu Youyao is also used to it. Her cousin will not mention anything sensitive in letters. The information she wants to know is all from the mouth of Yin Qi who sent the letter.

The inn is not safe. It is common to check letters. Even if the letter does not go to the inn, the letter itself is a clue.

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

No matter how tightly you hide it, there will always be oversights.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

Yin Qi always knew everything about Yu Youyao: "Beijing and Beidi have successfully reached a trade negotiation. At the price of 300 taels per war horse and 1,800 taels per bucket of grain, the two parties exchanged horses. The first transaction of grain was completed at the end of July. Beidi traded one hundred war horses and one hundred sheep."

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

"Three hundred taels!" Yu Youyao instantly calculated in her mind, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.

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

Yu Youyao had contact with horse merchants and dealers. A Beidi war horse, in the hands of a horse dealer from the Zhou Dynasty, could fetch a high price of seven to eight hundred taels, or even thousands of taels.

With such an outrageous price, in addition to Beidi's war horses being rare and rare, the horse dealer also took a huge risk in trading with Beidi.

When trading with Beidi, the price must not be calculated this way.

But even so, Yu Youyao made a loud noise and wrote to his cousin. As long as the price of a war horse does not exceed five hundred taels, the transaction will be worthwhile.

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

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

Absolutely not!

The current price of a liter of rice in the Zhou Dynasty is 180 Wen, and the price of a bucket of rice is 1,800 Wen. My cousin did not take advantage of the situation and traded with Beidi at the market price, which can be regarded as very "sincere" .

One sells at the market price and the other buys at the market price. Comparing each other, neither party seems to have suffered a loss.

But!

That's not how the account is calculated.

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 on the same level at all.

My cousin took advantage of me.

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

My cousin is simply amazing, being able to lower the price of war horses to such a low level.

Yu Youyao had an idea: "How many transactions have the two parties agreed on?"

Yin Qidao: "Three times in total. The second transaction will be in early August. Beidi will trade one hundred war horses, one hundred cattle, and three hundred sheep. The third transaction will be in late August, and Beidi will trade another five hundred war horses. , one hundred cows, one thousand sheep."

Harmon originally only wanted to trade 500 war horses, and wanted to exchange a large number of cattle and sheep.

Beidi can’t even feed the people, so how can they afford to feed a large number of cattle and sheep?

While the cattle and sheep are still alive ~IndoMTL.com~ quickly exchange meat for food, and you can also get a higher price.

The seven hundred war horses were settled after a long period of back and forth between the two parties. This was already the maximum number that Harmon could trade. He could not and would not take any more.

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

Any more will be a terrible threat to Beidi.

Yu Youyao felt relieved and asked: "Is my cousin in good health? How is the drought in the north?"

Yin Qi's heart skipped a beat, but after all, he was the best secret guard around the young master. He was panicking, but his face was calm: "Young master, he is fine." The injury on his arm has already been He’s almost recovered, and everything is fine. “The drought in the north is very serious. Prince Wu Mu took the lead and encouraged the people to plant sweet potatoes. Most of the people have planted sweet potatoes at home. Those who planted them earlier can already plant sweet potatoes. Sweet potato leaves satisfy hunger, and the situation is still under control."

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