Yang thief sold most of the livestock after seven days of busy life.

After waiting for another three days, Niu Jinbao sent someone to call him: "The court has sent gold. You can count one or two, and see if the number is correct."

The court was so anxious to send gold and silver because in August last year, the Weishui Alliance scared away the Turkic army. Now the court cannot withstand the war.

This time, Yang Hao brought back a large number of livestock and strategic supplies, which was a good thing. If the livestock sold on behalf of others could not send the money, it would easily lead to the Turks' re-invasion of the border.

So the court sent the money tightly.

Niu Jinbao said again: "You want to send money to those tribes. It may be dangerous to bring too much money. I will send some soldiers to escort you."

This time, Yang Hao sold most of the livestock and goods, and they were all gold, with at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels. Not to mention that there were still a large amount of copper coins that had not been exchanged.

It is not easy to carry.

How could Yang Hao agree to send someone to send him off? He has no partner to hand over.

However, it is easy to make people doubt that if there is an army escort, it is natural and safe. But if a large group of people is sent, wouldn’t it be even more eye-catching?"

He hesitated for a long time and said, "It's better for the general to send someone to escort Yang to Yangguan. After arriving at Yangguan, Yang set out on his own."

"You're on the road yourself, so many cars?"

Yang Hao did a full set of acting. There are two salt lakes near the sandbank, which produce salt. So he bought a lot of salt. With the copper coins and gold, there are quite a lot of things.

Yang Hao shook his head: "Yang can drive so many livestock back alone. There is a way to send things away. If someone follows you, it will be bad. There are too many people, which will easily attract attention. If there are fewer people, Yang is still worried about whether someone will take risks."

He did not wait for Niu Jinbao to retort: ​​"General. I will wait for a strong wind or a heavy snow to leave the city. In this weather, there are fewer horse thieves in the desert."

In short, no matter what Niu Jinbao said, he hoped that he would come out of seclusion alone: ​​"And those tribes are not willing to contact my Tang Dynasty for the time being. They are not willing to outsiders to know where their pasture is."

Niu Jinbao couldn't refute this reason.

In fact, people from the Central Plains know very little about the plateau.

Yang Haowen said that, Niu Jinbao couldn't say anything to refute it.

I heard Yang Haowen say again: "Yang also hopes to still trade with them next year. This can be considered as giving some efforts to our Tang Dynasty."

When Yang Haowen talks about this, Niu Jinbao will seem "bad-hearted" if he says more.

However, he sent his own team of personal guards to send Yang Haowen to Yangguan. Before leaving, he told his personal guards: "Tell General Cui that Yang Haowen must send the things to the hands of those herdsmen."

But it was useless to give his order.

When three hundred camels and more than one hundred tall horses came to Yangguan with goods, they happened to encounter wind and snow.

Yang Haowen immediately left Guancheng and headed west, leaving General Cui without even time to prepare.

...

When General Cui met Yang Haowen again, it was more than ten days later. This time, camels had one hundred more peaks, and those tall and big horses had one hundred more, two thousand plowing oxen, two hundred beef cattle, and more than three thousand sheep.

Every livestock carries goods on its back.

Yang Haowen looked for General Cui and gave him five hundred sheep: "Yang has given money to the newly brought livestock. Last time the court said he wanted to buy five thousand cows, but it was not enough. This time, he asked those tribes to squeeze out another two thousand.

"There are three thousand sheep, and one will give another five hundred of the army to work hard. One thousand will be sent to Shazhou to work hard. One will drive five hundred to return home."

General Cui saw the one hundred tall horses that had been added before, and confirmed that Yang Hao had indeed sent the money to those tribes.

Because before Yang Hao brought these horses back, he had never heard of such horses. I think only that tribe has them.

However, this kind of horse that can only be used as a cart or arable land, no matter how beautiful it looks, he doesn't care much about it.

Yang Hao worked hard again, and he also warmly treated him.

Then another team of cavalry sent to escort Yang Hao to the sandbank.

Similarly, Niu Jinbao was very enthusiastic about working in the army again.

When he learned that he had bought two thousand cows, he was very surprised: "There are many cattle and horses in that tribe. Can you buy more?"

Yang Hao didn't want to do it anymore and said nonsense: "That tribe was originally descended from the Qiang and Xianbei people. In the early years, it was exploited by Tubo and Turks, and now it is just thinking about finding a place to escape the war.

"This time they went there, they said that they would move with money and supplies after spring. Let me go and find them if I have time next autumn and winter."

When Niu Jinbao heard this, he had to let go for the time being and sighed: "That's why Yang Langjun is honest and trustworthy, which is touched by others. I wonder if they will have another war horse next year?"

Yang Hao nodded and said, "I told them that more war horses are better. The Central Plains are short of cows. They also responded. They will catch more wild horses and breed more. The cows will also be kept."

"That's good. I wonder if there are cowhide and other items brought back this time?"

"They brought back this time, there are no cowhides and horns. Most of them are fox fur, wolf fur, etc., and some mountain products such as mushrooms and cowhides and other goods. There should be cowhides and other goods next year. Someone has asked them to buy some if they meet other tribes."

"Okay. I'll have trouble with Yang Langjun."

"It's just a trick. It can not only contribute to the country, but also make some money."

Niu Jinbao laughed and said, "It's true that it's just a little bit. The plowing ox brought back this time does bring a lot of benefits to the people of Guanzhong."

The price of those cows is lower than usual. If the imperial court buys them and resells them to the people, it will naturally be cheaper.

When he talked about the cow, Yang Hao remembered something: "General, I don't know about beef cow..."

"Oh, if you don't mention it, I will almost forgot."

Niu Jinbao smiled and said, "In the previous episode, I ordered people to send dozens of beef cattle in the snow, and the court has received it. It has confirmed that the beef cattle is different from the plowing cattle.

"The court wanted to set up a pasture in Guanzhong to raise this beef cattle. In the future, the beef cattle would have to be branded with the word 'meat' to distinguish the plowing cattle. The plowing cattle are still not allowed to be slaughtered at will."

In fact, no one is willing to slaughter the ox at will. It is just because although the price of beef is high, the ox is a heavy tractor of this era, and the stock of cattle is insufficient. Killing one ox is equivalent to losing more than two labor.

If you kill, you may not be able to buy it.

The price is more expensive than buying two coarse slaves.

In this case, who is willing to kill the plowing ox?

Yang Hao was overjoyed: "I dare to ask the general to issue a document for Yang to prove that these are beef cattle."

"Haha... If you don't say it, you will also issue a document to you. In addition, the court will also give you a reward for buying a large number of cows, cow leather, horns, cow tendons and other items at a low price. The emperor is wise and knows that you have left some beef cattle, he ordered Fengxian County to give you a place to raise cattle."

Yang Hao was dumbfounded: "If this is the case, are those bulls from the court or Yang?"

"Of course it's yours." Niu Jinbao said. "The priest loves the people as much as his son, how can he compete with the people for profit? This is the gift given to you by the priest. I hope you can raise more beef cattle and let the people of the Tang Dynasty eat beef."

Yang Hao was overjoyed and was busy complimenting the emperor.

Niu Jinbao also said: "Shazhou will send the remaining beef cattle to Guanzhong in the near future. Some of the plowing cattle will also be sent to the eastern states and will be assigned by each state. We will be sent to escort people, but Yang Langjun might as well travel with him, which is also cheaper."

He paused and said, "The court in the previous period wanted to buy 5,000 plowing oxen, but only 3,500. The amount distributed to each state along the way was insufficient. Now Yang Langjun has two thousand more, and perhaps he can sell it along the way."

If there is such a good thing, Yang Hao is a fool if he refuses it. He hurriedly thanked him and agreed.

But I didn't know that Niu Jinbao also saw that he could drive tens of thousands of livestock by himself, and the livestock was fast at the side of him. So he deliberately waited for him.
Chapter completed!
