At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Tuoba Jinghui looked out the window.

At this time, in the entire trading square, the number of vendors selling furs accounted for almost half of all the vendors.

"Oh, forget it. The base price of leather this year is 30% lower than last year!"

"If it's old sheepskin, the price has dropped even more, to less than half of its original price."

Huyan Jueluo spat and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

He naturally knew that Tuoba Jinghui was trying to change the subject, but when smart people interact with each other, they often see through things but don't say them out loud.

"As far as I know, the area where the Northern Barbarians live has good water and grass this year. The hides that Brother Huyan brought should be able to fetch a good price."

Tuoba Jinghui looked extremely puzzled.

Since the Dune Dynasty is located in the north, the demand for leather is huge.

Therefore, in any previous year, the leather from the Mobei grasslands was extremely popular in the Dune Dynasty. Why did something different happen this year?

"Who says it's not true? The leather I brought this time is all new sheepskin, the quality is absolutely impeccable!"

"But the people of Dune are just like that. They have all become treacherous this year. Just now, that group of people from Dune tried to cut my price by 40%!"

"Damn it, if you really push me too far, I'll take this batch of goods to Central Plains to sell!"

Huyan Jueluo spoke again and again, and became more and more angry as he spoke. When he became excited, he slammed the table with his hand!

boom!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire box changed because of this slap.

Unconsciously, Xiang Wentian put his right hand back to his waist, fearing that Huyan Jueluo would do something extreme in the next second.

However, Huyan Jueluo soon realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, and then he looked at Xia Yun with an apologetic expression.

"We are from the grasslands, and we are usually rude. Please forgive us, Boss Xia."

Huyan Jueluo took the initiative to express his apologies.

When Xia Yun heard this, he burst into laughter on the spot.

"Brother Huyan, you don't have to be so polite. Since you are Brother Tuoba's friend, you are also my friend, Xia."

Xia Yun didn't take Huyan Jueluo's rude behavior to heart at all, and gave him enough face when addressing him.

At this moment, he became somewhat interested in the leather business that Huyan Jueluo mentioned.

"I wonder how many skins Brother Huyan brought with him?"

Xia Yun asked immediately.

"There are fifteen trucks in total, and each truck is about 100 kilograms."

Huyan Jueluo didn't understand, but still responded truthfully.

"What price did these skins fetch in previous years?"

Xia Yun continued to ask, his eyes moving over Tuoba Jinghui and Huyan Jueluo one after another.

Tuoba Jinghui immediately understood what he meant and responded immediately.

"According to the price of leather in previous years, new sheepskin can be sold for about five taels of silver per pound."

"The Northern Barbarians brought fifteen carts of leather, each weighing one hundred kilograms, a total of one thousand five hundred kilograms, which can probably be sold for about seven thousand five hundred taels of silver."

Tuoba Jinghui said one after another.

Upon hearing this, Huyan Jueluo on the side nodded repeatedly, but before he could speak again.

The next words that came out of Xia Yun's mouth made him stunned on the spot.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, and all the skins that Brother Huyan brought, I want them all."

Xia Yun waved his hand and took out a silver note from the Daliang Dynasty from his waist.

There were a few clear big characters engraved on the silver note: Ten thousand taels of silver!

When Huyan Jueluo saw this, he was stunned on the spot.

He never expected that the extremely young-looking Boss Xia in front of him would actually buy the fifteen cartloads of leather goods he brought with him for 12,000 taels of silver!

You know, he thought the actual transaction price of these fifteen carloads of leather was probably around five thousand two hundred silver coins.

However, he soon noticed that the 10,000 taels of silver notes that Xia Yun took out were from the money house of the Daliang Dynasty, not the silver dollars and silver notes of the Shaqiu Dynasty.

"How about it, Brother Huyan, are you interested in this deal?"

Seeing that the other party was a little hesitant, Xia Yun continued to ask, with a smile on his face and a calm look on his face.

Of course he knew that from a business perspective, spending 12,000 taels of silver to buy the leather from the other party was a losing deal.

But what he was thinking at this moment was far more than just this fur trade.

As the most powerful tribe on the Mobei grassland more than 300 years ago, the fact that the Northern Barbarians have survived to this day is enough to show their extraordinaryness.

From a political and military perspective, if the Northern Barbarians could also join him and serve under him, then there would be no doubt that his control over the entire Mobei grassland would be strengthened.

This effect far exceeded the effect of ten thousand taels of silver itself on him.

"Of course!"

Although Huyan Jueluo didn't know what the young man in front of him was planning, he knew he would take advantage of the opportunity that came to his doorstep.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yun immediately took out the 10,000 taels of silver note and pushed it in front of Huyan Jueluo.

"Then our deal is done."

Xia Yun still said with a smile.

"Boss Xia, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Huyan Jueluo nodded excitedly, and after shaking hands with Xia Yun, he carefully put the ten thousand taels of silver into his arms.

This ten thousand taels of silver is not a lot for Xia Yun, but for the Northern Barbarians, it is almost their entire year's external income!

The Northern Barbarians rely on this income to purchase all their daily necessities, including tea, rice, oil, salt, grain and cloth.

"Brother Huyan, I told you a long time ago that Boss Xia is a big businessman. If you make friends with Boss Xia, the Northern Barbarians will never suffer any loss."

Looking at Huyan Jueluo carefully putting away the banknotes, Tuoba Jinghui laughed out loud and said on the spot.

Once upon a time, the Tuoba tribe, like the Northern Barbarians, had to rely on the fur trade to survive every year.

But now, the Tuoba people no longer have to run around for just a few tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Because Xia Yun spent a full one million taels of silver at once!

"Boss Xia is very generous. I wonder what big business Boss Xia is doing in Lantuo City? If you need my help, just ask. My Northern Barbarians will never refuse!"

Huyan Jueluo, who was in high spirits, immediately made a promise. At the same time, he was also very curious about what the big business that Tuoba Jinghui was talking about was.

"It's just a small business selling salt, tea and porcelain. It's not worth mentioning."

Xia Yun laughed.

When Huyan Jueluo heard this, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Boss Xia actually sells these things! It really is a big business!"

In Huyan Jueluo's opinion, only those businessmen with extremely strong financial strength are qualified to engage in the business of salt, tea, porcelain and other commodities.

Especially items such as tea and porcelain, which could only be produced by the Daliang Dynasty.

Without a strong background and strong financial support, it would be impossible for ordinary merchants to transport these goods from the Daliang Dynasty to Lantuo City!
