Gusa Heiyun immediately said: "If there are any conditions, the son-in-law can just ask, as long as we can do it, we will try our best to meet the needs of the son-in-law."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The attitude of the ceremonial officer makes the matter easy to solve." After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. If the money is traded, there will be problems with the way of the money, and they will definitely think that the governor is suspected of enriching their own pockets."

Gusa Heiyun asked Chu Huan, and he could only nod in agreement with what Chu Huan said.

Chu Huan smiled slightly and guided him: "So I think that the best way to let you get salt and satisfy the people of Xiguan is that you can exchange something. Of course, although we don't use money Trading, but you can come up with some valuable goods that can be seen by everyone at a glance...!"

After all, Gusa Heiyun is not an ordinary person, and his brain is still flexible. When Chu Huan said this, he immediately blurted out: "Does the son-in-law want us to exchange horses?"

Chu Huan's expression remained the same, but he looked thoughtful, "The ceremonial officer is saying that you are going to exchange horses? This... the ceremonial officer is indeed a ceremonial officer, why didn't I think of this way...!"

Gusa Heiyun said anxiously: "My son-in-law, I'm not...!"

But Chu Huan had already interrupted: "Grand Ritual Officer, you have given me my heart of loyalty. There are enough horses, and the common people can suspect that the governor hides money at home, but this horse can't hide it...!" They clapped their hands Come on, "Good idea, good idea." Then he shook his head and sighed: "Even if this is the case, I am afraid that the governor will have to bear some infamy, but... the regent was still kind to me at the beginning. Do your best."

Gusa Heiyun said helplessly: "My son-in-law, this war horse... hey, everything else is easy to say, but this war horse...!" Shaking his head and sighing: "Although the founding of Xiliang is only a hundred years old, it has also gone through several generations of saints. Lord, the second generation of the Holy Master has already issued a decree that he is not allowed to sell a war horse to the Central Plains. If anyone dares to trade a war horse in private, it will be a serious crime of killing everyone."

Chu Huan said "oh", stood up, and said, "Master of Rites, you have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and the journey is hard, but it is not easy for the governor to keep you here. I will send someone to prepare a hundred catties of salt for you. Take it as a gift for you, and you will have a smooth journey." He shouted, "Blind man!"

Bai Xiazi was waiting outside the door. Hearing Chu Huan's voice, he immediately pushed the door open and said, "My lord!"

"Prepare a hundred catties of salt, and then send a few people to escort the Gusa Grand Priest out of the customs." Chu Huan said seriously: "Be sure to send the Grand Priest out of Yanmen Pass...!" The governor still has official duties, so he can't see you off, and you have a good journey."

When Gusa Heiyun saw that Chu Huan had clearly issued an order to chase away guests, he changed his face and said, "My son-in-law, what... what does this mean?"

"One hundred catties of salt is not much, but it's my heart." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Salt is scarce in Xiliang, and every inch of salt is precious. The ceremony officer will not refuse this gift?"

Gusa Heiyun sweated on his forehead, and said anxiously: "My son-in-law, I'm not ready to leave yet, you...!" The tone was pleading, "My son-in-law, we can discuss everything, and we can always come up with a solution."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Don't the chief ceremonial officer think that there is no need for us to talk anymore?"

The blind man already knew Chu Huan's intentions, so he deliberately said, "My lord, I'm going to prepare now, and then send a few capable brothers to escort the chief ceremony officer out of the customs." He turned around and wanted to leave.

Gusa Heiyun raised his hand and said anxiously: "Wait a minute." Reluctantly, he said to Chu Huan: "My son-in-law, the exchange of horses, that... is not something that cannot be discussed."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Didn't the Holy Master of your country decree not to allow horse trade with the Central Plains?"

Gusa Heiyun forced a smile and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains, it is called one time and another time. It was a thing many years ago. The situation is different now. Now Xiliang is governed by the regent, and the rules are determined by people, so... !"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "So that's the case." After waving his hand, the blind man stepped back and closed the door again. Chu Huan raised his hand and said politely, "Come on, the chief ceremonial officer sit down and talk."

When Gusa Heiyun sat down, Chu Huan went straight to the point and said, "If the chief ceremonial officer has no objection, the matter will be settled like this. Horses will be sent from Xiliang, and I will provide you with salt. Of course, you can't bring horses into the customs. A trade war will be set up outside Yanmen Pass, as many horses as you send, we will provide the corresponding value of salt."

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment before saying: "As far as I know, in the earliest days, the price of table salt in the Northwest was between 25 and 45 Wen per catty, but...but the price here became more expensive after the war. Many, at the highest point, reached [-] Wen per catty, which was already the most expensive period. After the son-in-law produced new salt, the price was adjusted down. In the four states of Xiguan, the price was unified at [-] Wen per catty, and it was located in Beishan. And the salt shop in Tianshan is priced at [-] Wen a catty...!"

Chu Huan looked at Gusa Heiyun with a smile, and knew very well in his heart that since Gusa Heiyun came here specifically for the salt this time, he would naturally know the price of the salt.

The trade of new salt is now in the hands of Chu Huan. The actual operators are Du Fugong and Linlang. Du Fugong is responsible for the supply of goods, while Linlang is in charge of operating the entire sales network.

Chu Huan didn't care about the market price, it was negotiated by Lin Lang and Du Fugong, and then informed Chu Huan, Chu Huan agreed to such a price without even thinking about it.

Seeing Chu Huan smiling and looking at him, Gusa Heiyun sat up slightly, and continued: "The northwest side used to be a place where horses were produced. The price of ordinary horses is between 60 taels and 90 taels, and they can go into battle. The price of war horses is about 120 taels, but at that time there were two large horse farms in the northwest, and there were a lot of horses, so the price would inevitably be lower, and now the price of those horses is only higher than before."

Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Now there is a price but no market, 200 taels of silver, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a good horse."

Gusa Heiyun saw Chu Huan's amicable face, and his nervous mood relaxed a lot, he smiled, nodded and said: "What the son-in-law said is very true." After a pause, he said cautiously: "The son-in-law also knows that our Xiliang horses , if you compare the price...!"

Before Gusa Heiyun finished speaking, Chu Huan had already said: "War horses in Xiliang are famous all over the world, and horses in the northwest are far inferior to your horses in Xiliang. A war horse in Xiliang, in the Central Plains, will cost 300 taels of silver. Grab it."

Gusa Heiyun became excited, waved his hands and laughed: "The son-in-law is serious. The son-in-law helps me in Xiliang. Of course, I in Xiliang cannot be valued at such a price. I think it is not too much at 150 taels of silver per horse."

Chu Huan smiled, but did not speak.

"According to the price of salt in other places, seventy yuan a catty, if it is calculated by three times, I need two hundred yuan in Xiliang to buy a catty of salt." Gusa Heiyun's arithmetic is obviously very good, " One tael of silver can buy five catties of salt, and a war horse costs 150 taels, which means 750 catties... Son-in-law, I don’t know if I’m not bad at all?”

Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "According to common sense, there is no mistake."

Gusa Heiyun heard something in Chu Huan's words, and hurriedly said: "Of course, in order to make the people in Xiguan accept it, we can pay five times the price...!" After thinking for a while, he said: "A war horse, It can be exchanged for 450 catties of salt."

Chu Huan looked at Gusa Heiyun with a half-smile, and was not in a hurry to speak.

When Gusa Heiyun saw Chu Huan's smile, his originally relaxed mood suddenly became suspended again, and he asked cautiously: "My son-in-law, if this is the case, we will make an agreement like this, and today I will return to Xiliang... Well, this time Come here, the regent sent two hundred cavalry to escort me. Although I was very careful, a few horses died on the way. There are still a lot left. We can trade a hundred horses first. Those horses are now in the Outside of Yanmen Pass, there are all first-class horses, and even here in Xiliang, they are the best horses in a hundred."

He looked at Chu Huan expectantly, but saw that Chu Huan was thoughtful. After a long time, he sighed and said, "A horse weighs forty catties. This is already within my power."

Gusa Heiyun didn't understand for a while, or felt that he had misunderstood, and asked, "What did the son-in-law say?"

Chu Huan held up four fingers, "Forty catties of salt...!" Then put away three fingers and left one, "A horse, this is the price I offered, there is no room for negotiation."

Gusa Heiyun lost his voice and said: "My son-in-law, you are extorting." As soon as the words came out, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and was immediately embarrassed, but also quite indignant.

Chu Huan said with a faint smile: "The governor said earlier that if you want the governor to be able to explain to the common people, you must pay a price, and this price must reach the price of making the common people speechless. Only at this price can they accept it."

"My son-in-law, this is absolutely impossible." Gusa Heiyun's tone was filled with anger that could not be concealed, "We have made the biggest concession, and my son-in-law can't be so bullying."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The regent holds three major grasslands in his hands, and his horses are like clouds. When Xiliang's [-] cavalry invaded the Central Plains, it is said that there were no less than [-] cavalry... I am afraid that only Xiliang has such a huge cavalry army." Ability. You have no shortage of horses, but salt. In the current situation, you have too many horses, but too little salt. We have plenty of salt, but not many horses. But you don’t need salt, but we don’t have enough horses. But no... Great Ritual Officer, you are a wise person, what I mean, do you understand me?"

Gusa Heiyun said angrily: "Since this is the case, we can't take advantage of the situation to bully others."

Chu Huan sighed: "The method of taking advantage of the situation to bully people came from your Xiliang. Didn't you take advantage of the situation to bully people when General Feng Hanxiao was killed?" He waved his hands and said, "I won't say these things, we are talking The deal, if it wasn’t for the love between the Prince Regent and Qi Luo, the deal wouldn’t have started at all, and Ben Du is a man of friendship, so I’m giving you this chance, the right to choose is yours, and I will never force it.”

Gusa Heiyun got up abruptly, with an angry expression on his face, he went out the door, Chu Huan said with a smile: "I promise to give the gift officer a hundred catties of salt, and I will never lose my word."

Gusa Heiyun strode towards the gate, took a few steps, and his footsteps became slower and slower. There were still three or four steps away from the gate, and finally stopped, without turning around. After a long time, Gusa Heiyun smiled wryly: " Son-in-law, your conditions are too harsh, I can't make the decision, I have to go back to Xiliang to report to the regent, and the regent will make a decision." After a pause, he turned around slowly and stared at Chu Huan, "But for the hundred horses, I can In charge, the son-in-law prepares four thousand catties of salt, and I will give you one hundred horses...not four thousand catties, but four thousand one hundred catties, the son-in-law said that he would give me one hundred catties."

Chu Huan stood up, laughing brightly: "Deal!"
