Li Ye intercepted the Hu of Yunlu Pavilion, causing them to lose at least one million taels of silver.
The Great Elder was so angry that he was burning with rage, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone.
The Great Elder was so angry that he really wanted to slap Li Ye to death.
But he just said that it was too difficult to transport the iron.
We simply can't afford it.
I really regret saying these words. Just do business properly, why put on airs?
I wanted to slap myself hard twice.
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no way to take them back.
Besides, the iron supply is indeed tight and demand cannot be met in a short period of time.
I could only stand aside with a gloomy face and remain silent.
The Turkic Khans of various countries were overjoyed.
The more we talked, the more we felt that it would be more profitable to continue doing business.
You can save at least half the price and also save time.
The most important thing is not to look at Yunlu Pavilion's face.
Not only do they cooperate with each other, but they also try every possible way to make money from them.
They all hated this extremely.
Deliberately making sure no one paid attention to him during the chat.
They quickly reached a consensus and each bought armor and weapons in equal quantities.
No one can rob anyone else.
The compensation was to be paid by the Barbarians in the amount of 3,000 cattle, and the rest by the various countries.
"Although I've decided to buy all the equipment, there's something I have to say beforehand.
Such a large sum of money and livestock is not a small amount.
We must find a safe way to trade.
After all, there was no war in doing business in the past, and both parties were trustworthy.
This time we tore up the agreement and sent troops to invade. Given the Sixth Prince's character, he has always been one to seek revenge.
We have to be more careful!"
The barbarian Khan said seriously.
"You're right, we still need to find a safe way to handle such a large transaction.
Do you want to send troops to escort them? Let's complete the transaction at the border.
If Dayuan dares to go back on his word, don't blame us for being rude."
"It's not right. If we mobilize troops at this time, we will be the ones who suffer.
If we send too many troops, they might use this as an excuse to refuse the deal.
I think it is better to trade in batches.
The livestock are exchanged for the goods, and the transactions are carried out in batches of ten.
He won't turn against me for such a small benefit."
"I also think that a wholesale deal would be safer. Get the equipment first, and then consider the war later."
The khans discussed for a while and decided on the transaction method.
He ordered his envoys to go and discuss the matter immediately.
Li Ye waited at home for the envoy to return.
Holding an abacus, he couldn't stop smiling.
"We made a fortune in this war. We captured over 100,000 war horses, and I won't even mention their value.
More than 200,000 sets of armor and equipment can be sold for 14 million taels of silver.
With this money, our people living on the border will no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Especially when using cattle and sheep to pay off debts, each family can buy livestock.
Raise the sheep and breed them, and keep the cattle as livestock so that more land can be cultivated.
We still can't rest. In addition to training, we must plow the land as quickly as possible so that we can still harvest in the fall after planting in the spring."
"Okay, we don't mind having more livestock. Every household has at least ploughed more than 30 mu of land this year.
The harvested food is enough to last for several generations!"
"We need to continue building villages and relocate more people.
It's such a pity to ruin such good land!" Li Ye said.
You should know that these places are all black soil, which is very fertile.
Even without applying fertilizer, the harvest is several times higher than that of other places.
If it weren't for the need to escape the war, it would definitely be the best place.
While they were chatting, someone came over to report: "Your Highness, the envoys from several barbarian countries have arrived."
"You came so quickly, it seems you are really interested in this business.
Let’s go and meet him!”
Li Ye brought everyone back to the tent.
The barbarian envoy bowed and then said, "We have reported this to the king and have received his consent.
I am willing to pay one thousand cattle as compensation, and to purchase all the armor and weapons at the price Your Highness has specified."
"Okay, when will you send the money?" Li Ye didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"Well, since the quantity is so large, our king said it would be best to trade in batches.
After all, there are so many cattle and sheep being driven here, it's really too much."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I think your king is worried that I am not keeping my word, so he sent soldiers to rob cattle and sheep without giving you equipment?"
"Your Highness has truly misunderstood. We certainly believe in your credibility and would never go back on our word." Even the thickest-skinned person would blush when his secrets were exposed in front of others.
Li Ye continued, "It's you barbarians who have repeatedly broken the ceasefire agreement through letters. When have we, Dayuan, ever done such a thing?
However, this prince will not bother with you. Let's trade according to the method you said.
But I have to say this first: if you dare to play any tricks, you will definitely pay a thousand times the price."
"Of course, of course, we are sincere in our dealings with Your Highness. How could we possibly play tricks on him?
I can guarantee it with my life!"
"That's the best way, hurry up and get ready!
Please send the compensation package over first. I will confirm that there is no problem before continuing the transaction."
"No problem, it's guaranteed to be the best beef!"
Over the next few days, the two sides conducted transactions at the border, delivering equipment and cattle and sheep.
When the news reached the Third Prince, he was furious.
"Li Ye is so bold that he actually dares to sell all the captured equipment. I think he is tired of living.
I will report him immediately and he must be severely punished."
The third prince was furious.
Originally this was his business, but he didn't expect it to be snatched away by Li Ye.
After buying so much equipment, he no longer needed to buy too much metal, and all his ways of making money were blocked.
Wushuang was also very angry and hated Li Ye.
Every time we snatch their business away in advance.
It's like he's his nemesis.
"I heard that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to investigate the war.
Your Highness, please do not report this matter directly to the court, but tell the imperial envoy instead.
It would be better to let him tell the emperor.
This way, even if something happens, it will have nothing to do with you, the Third Prince.
In front of the emperor, it shows that you care about brotherhood and don't betray him.
I believe the Emperor will also look upon you with new eyes!"
When the third prince heard this, he immediately thought it made sense.
Looking at Wushuang, his eyes were full of admiration: "You are right, the emperor hates brothers fighting each other the most.
I almost forgot such an important thing. Thank goodness you reminded me."
He smiled coldly after saying this: "Providing weapons to the enemy country is a capital crime. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be exterminated along with their entire clan.
Even if he is a prince, he cannot escape the blame.
Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, no ministers in the court would agree!"
Wushuang smirked sinisterly, "As long as we can get rid of the Sixth Prince, no one will ever be a match for Your Highness."
