Yegolo came once and asked the guests if they were satisfied with the food as an excuse, and the cliché was true. He was curious to know what the next shipment would be, how many there were, when it would arrive, and what it was intended to be exchanged.

Fu Ji couldn't answer any of these questions, because she didn't know them herself. But you can't say that you don't know, and you have to reassure the other party without saying anything, which is where your value lies. Fu Ji understands this very well, and the colt has entrusted him with a heavy task and made a heavy promise, I am afraid that he thinks so too.

"Lord Ye is too anxious, business is not like this. Even if the camel is handed over to us, this transaction is only half completed, and whether there will be a next time depends on whether I have the life to return to the Song Kingdom with the goods. ”

Catching up is not a deal, whoever is in a hurry during the negotiation will lose, and in this regard, three Yegolo can't fight a rich guy. When she saw that this general was about to be surrounded by herself, Fu Ji finally stopped talking about him left and right, and pressed the other party down again.

"I'll send troops to send you back, but you can only go fifty miles away, and I'm afraid there will be Song soldiers if you get closer!" This problem is indeed a problem, Yegoro gritted his teeth and solved it!

"That's good, of course, but can you and I be able to count them in such detail here? Don't hide it from Lord Ye, I'm just a pawn. If a gentleman does not stand under the wall, people who can really call the shots will definitely not come here to take risks, and presumably the same situation is the same on Lord Ye's side. So instead of wasting our tongue on the problem of not being able to count, let's talk about the things that can be counted, such as how to connect with each other next time and what to use as tokens. And what kind of goods you can offer in exchange, I will take them back to those who can call the shots. ”

Again, whoever makes the first concession during the negotiation will be passive, and even a little concession can explain a lot. Fu Ji is more bottomed up now, originally she didn't know anything, but she sounded like the other party was a novice.

“…… I'll make a decision when I think about it......" Yegolo's face turned red, and he didn't hold back any dry goods in the end. Fu Ji was really right, what goods there were, how many were there, and how to exchange them, his small escort team didn't know at all, so he had to ask again, but he couldn't admit it for the sake of face.

Before Yegolo could think clearly, the 30 camels were driven over by several shepherds, and the two sides carried out a handover and inventory at the gate of the barracks, and then an old man who claimed to be an elder of Ahmad invited Fuki into the felt tent to continue negotiations on the future deal.

Without being reminded by others, Fu Ji could be sure that this person must be Ahmad's elder, or his own father, because the two of them looked alike.

But it doesn't matter what kind of age he is, and it doesn't even matter if he knows Ahmad or not. Talking about business is not climbing relatives, it is useless to rely on this kind of favor.

The end result was that Fu Ji recorded a large amount of goods that they could provide, including, of course, horses, albeit in limited quantities.

The number of horses in each tribe was relatively fixed, and if there were too many horses in a sudden situation, it would not only affect breeding, but also be easily detected by the Western Xia government. In particular, stallions and mares, which can be used as war horses without castration, are not only more expensive, but can also provide fewer quantities, no more than three or five at a time.

It also depends on whether Fu Ji's goods are good or not, and they will not exchange them if there is not a horse they particularly need. Once discovered by the Western Xia government, they will be driven out of this pastoral area at best, and they will die at worst, and the risk is too great to be worth it.

Fu Ji forcibly did not pay more attention to the horses, but faithfully recorded what the old man said, and then picked up Ahmad's dagger again, and returned the same way under the escort of a small group of Western Xia cavalry.

In a short sentence, the group of four re-entered the border of the Great Song Dynasty in the evening of the same day, and originally wanted to endure the night at the bottom of a ditch sheltered from the wind, and then go to the Nusha Valley to meet after dawn, so as not to get lost at night. The ravines in this area are all similar, and even veterans like Shi Tong can't find their way at night.

He never wanted Bian Ma to be more anxious, and he sent three scouts to patrol this border every day, day and night. With their guides, the man and the camel quickly returned safely to the valley. Then, without stopping, Bian Ma's people drove the camels and embarked on the return journey together.

On the way back, Fu Ji chose to take the waterway, which was still Jiang Dalang's suggestion. According to him, starting from Lanzhou and going southeast along the official road for more than 300 miles is Gongzhou Cooked Sheep Village, which has the largest wharf in the upper reaches of Weishui.

This is the distribution center for water transportation along the west of Weishui, and there are many grain merchants' tanker ships docked. When the grain merchants finished unloading the grain, there was not much to transport locally, and most of them had to go back empty.

So you only need to pay a very cheap price to take a boat down the river, and if you are lucky, you can go straight to Kaifeng. Even if you can't catch the boat that goes directly to Kaifeng, it is not a loss to rent another boat on the way. Moreover, it is comfortable and fast to travel by boat, which is a hundred times stronger than taking a land route.

Don't ask him how he knows, this guy is a veteran oilman, he is not good at fighting, how to steal and play tricks is his business. But the more such people are in the army, the more popular they are, Jiang Dalang relied on his mouth and served as a contractor for escorting grain and grass for a while. As for why he didn't do it, Jiang Dalang didn't say it, he must have been masturbated for not doing a good job.

Fu Ji didn't doubt Jiang Dalang's ability too much, even if there were no ships available in Cooked Sheep Village, he would not delay the trip, because he didn't have to make a detour to Yan'an Mansion, and the official road back to Kaifeng by land would also pass through Longxi City, and Cooked Sheep Village was only thirty miles away from Longxi, just a little turn.

Now all four of them are cavalry, and although they have no horses, they are still skilled in riding camels, which is much faster than walking.

Relatively speaking, Fuji also prefers to take the waterway, not only for comfort and speed, but mainly to try the waterway. Maybe it can be used in the future, since this time it is out to explore the way, then it is most efficient to explore any way.

Facts have proved that what Jiang Dalang said is true, the dock of Cooked Sheep Village is indeed full of trough ships, not only ships but also a large number of slender men, without them, the trough ships cannot go upstream.

But when they got here, their fate was the same as that of a tanker, and they were useless, so they could be hired for a small fee, especially someone like Fu Ji who went east along the river, which was simply the favorite of the slender man.

Even if you don't give money, as long as you can get on board, you are willing. Isn't it just serving dozens of camels, this thing is much easier to serve than horses, and its character is more docile.

Employing five trough ships and ten slender men, Fu Ji also asked Bian Ma for a token, and the next time she came, she would go around the tribe of this general, which was a good word. Then he took two short knives and went on the boat, these Tibetan people are too vulgar, and the tokens are the same, they are still short knives.

But Fu Ji didn't care, the boatman said that it would take less than 20 days to walk more than 2,000 miles of waterway directly outside Kaifeng. Why can't you follow the water into the city? Because there are camels on board, all ships with goods need to pay taxes at the West Water Gate.

Fu Ji naturally didn't want to hand it over, didn't the horse have Qionglin Garden, so she simply encircled the camel in it, and it was up to the horse to decide what to do with it.

"It doesn't seem good to be a jumping girl......" Lying in the shipyard watching the five big ships leave the dock one after another, listening to the shouts of the sailors and the neighing of camels, Fu Ji suddenly had a feeling of inexplicability.

This time, I was able to get so many big animals just by bringing dozens of sets of scriptures, and the profit was much higher than selling scriptures, and the most important thing was that I was respected in the process of trading, very high respect.

If there are still goods that are better than the scriptures as the horse said, and the quantity is many times more, then he is not a VIP in the eyes of these Tibetan people? It seems to be more enjoyable and addictive than making money.
