Chapter 454: Easier said than done

In the restaurant, the Turks and merchants were arranged in the hall, and there were many people on both sides, and they all ate their own food due to language barriers.

However, the translator does be able to translate their message so that what both sides are saying will be clear.

"The Turks in charge of the shopkeeper are negotiating the price, and twenty guan is their bottom line." The interpreter on the merchant's side said.

The shopkeeper knew in his heart, he didn't think about competition or anything at all, there were too many people, he believed that even if the Turks were willing to spend money, they might not be able to take everyone away, there would always be left, so he was not in a hurry at all.

Seeing that the merchants next to them were silent, the Turks restrained a little.

The envoys of the tribe were still together at the beginning of the introduction, and now they were all discussed by several people in the case.

If their tribe wants to expand and have strength, population is indispensable, and the meaning of the Turkic royal court this time clearly states that whoever is redeemed by the tribe is considered to be the tribe.

In this way, the tribe's mind that wants to rise and develop is alive.

The Turkic court's strategy of getting the tribes to pay was actually a way to save money, and the warriors of each tribe charged into battle anyway.

Whether it is their own tribe has no essential influence at all, the difference will be less when distributing benefits, and the majority is still theirs.

Therefore, the Turkic royal court will not restrict the development of the tribes, but hopes that their rapid development will be used as a source of troops for the royal court.

The tribe wants to be strong in order to protect itself from becoming pawns, and so the cycle develops in this way, so they will not give up such an opportunity.

As long as there are people and things, they can get them back, and they believe that as long as the Turkic royal court really starts with the Sui State, their investment will be rewarded several times at that time.

When it came to go down, the negotiator of the vanguard appeared, the Li family brothers, Luo Yi followed, and the main negotiator was Yang Yuer.

She is responsible for logistics support, and all the money and materials have to pass through her hands, although she is only a captain, but the status of the county lord is very noble, and there is now this county lord, but he is in charge of the financial lifeblood of the vanguard.

No one will despise her.

The Turks were all surprised when they saw the woman coming, and they were muttering on the shore with displeasure when they learned that this person was the one with whom they were negotiating.

Yang Yu'er didn't care about the contempt of the Turkic envoys, but she was very jealous in her heart, and no one could be calm in the face of contemptuous eyes.

"The situation of the Turkic prisoners of war has been explained to you, whether to redeem or not, we will give you three days to consider, one thing to explain is that every day they are consuming supplies, so the price will increase according to each day that lasts, the ransom will increase a little, in other words, if you think about it, please call someone to inform me."

The lord of the jade county acted resolutely, turned around and left after speaking, leaving everyone aside.

Of course, the rest of the details are done by Li Shimin, and someone always has to do something.

Wei Li appeared at dusk, and after an afternoon of bargaining, the atmosphere on both sides was not very good, and Wei Li appeared to give these people a hope.

However, Wei Li did not directly offer the bottom line price, and the negotiations dragged on for two days, and some tribes were a little tempted to hear that they could get the lowest price by paying with horses.

Small tribes are like this, their strength can't be as strong as the big tribes, so the number of people who can redeem is not too much, and the price is more expensive, which actually doesn't have much impact on them.

These people were the first to want to compromise, but they haven't finally relented because of the face of the big tribe.

Another day passed, and while the tribes were still thinking about the press, the merchants from the various state capitals had already begun to take quite a few people and prepare to leave.

The Turks felt bad when they saw their warriors being taken away, and the small tribe finally relented, and when Yang Yu'er reappeared, he signed a ransom contract with the envoys.

The 60,000 Turks in the city were all redeemed in one day, and as for the embarrassment of being taken away by the merchants, the matter could not be changed.

The final price of income was 30,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep.

No matter how many horses there are, the tribes are unwilling to take them out, and in the end, they reach an agreement when they reach the limit.

The ransom would be paid within two months at the agreed time of the transaction, but Yang Yuer made another condition, that is, after the contract was signed, the prisoners of war would have to pay for food for more than one day in Youzhou City.

As a result, there will be some discrepancies in the original price when the final payment is made, and the materials are only a lot more.

"The governor has finally signed the contract, and we can have an extra cavalry of 30,000 people." Yang Yuer said.

"I think it's time to expand the troops, now the vanguard is all cavalry, and the additional 30,000 cavalry will eventually add the expanded guards, and the number will probably be 100,000." Li Dedao.

"If you want to protect the sixteen states of Youji, this bit of soldiers and horses is really not enough, at least 200,000 soldiers and horses can be recruited to feel at ease." Li De continued.

Yang Yu'er suddenly discovered how the situation of the vanguard soldiers was becoming more and more like the northwest soldiers of the backer king.

There are many Turkic prisoners of war in Youzhou City, so he will not take it lightly every day, and Li De's reply to his father is already on his way back to Chang'an.

Half a month later, a tribe came to pay the ransom, looking at the first delivery of more than 6,000 people, and the materials earned just enough to keep the economy of the vanguard from collapsing.

The local merchants were ready to resell these supplies, cattle, sheep and horses, and the pioneers did not buy or sell horses, but only sold cattle and sheep to merchants in exchange for a large amount of money.

The market of cattle and horses was opened in Youzhou, and many merchants heard that there were horses in Youzhou City, and all of them came to visit, and in the face of such a thing, Li De discussed with everyone and took out some horses to revitalize the market.

As the popularity increases, so do the merchants.

Li De is now the governor of the capital, and the nominal defense of the sixteen states of Youji is all up to him, and the last time the Turkic tribal envoy appeared, he didn't talk about the ransom.

Weri secretly exchanged trade with some small tribes, and the vanguard secretly bought fur supplies and offered some goods that the other side lacked in exchange, such as salt.

So a secret trade exchange was opened in this way, and the development of commerce on the one hand is to revitalize the economy of Youzhou City, and on the other hand, it is to sell the other party to get more information from it.

For these small tribes, the benefits are the most realistic, and ambitious people always want to get more benefits, and often pay some price for what can be achieved.

For example, it has become the eyeliner that Youzhou City has planted in the Turkic tribes.

Li De's business ideas are different from many people, and the development of spies actually does not play much role in the Turks.

Unless the eyeliner is really placed on the side of the royal family, it is not easy to say.
