Besides, Bagen's move has already broken the rules. According to the previous agreement between the two parties, no matter who it is, conscription is allowed, but the standard of treatment must be the same, which is two taels of silver and five catties of meat per month.Under the same standard, the people in the town can join whichever side they want.

That being said, Jurchen has [-] cavalry soldiers, and Mongolia has only [-] cavalry soldiers. Compared with this, those who want to join the army will naturally know how to choose.It is a psychology of most people to choose the strong and not the weak. In this way, the so-called fairness does not exist in the first place, which also makes Bert stronger and stronger, and Bagen weaker and weaker.

Forced to do so, the opponent had no choice but to break the rules, preferring to pay more, just to attract more people to join their cavalry.

A sturdy man was seated at the lower left of Bert. After hearing what the general said, he slammed the table and said in a very violent tone, "Ba Gen is unruly, that's it. The final general suggested sending troops to fight him, and let him know who will have the final say in Narcissus Town."

"General Hulu, please calm down." Seeing the impatience of his subordinates, Bot was not only not angry, but secretly happy in his heart.He likes people like Hu Lu, who have a straight temper and don't hide their thoughts. When he uses such a person, he will be more at ease.

General Hulu had already expressed his opinion, and Bert's eyes fell on the man on the right. This man's name was Hui Li Bu, and his mind was obviously much deeper.

Back home, he did not immediately express his opinion and decision, but said after a moment of contemplation, "Of course a Bagen will not be placed in our eyes. We have four thousand cavalry. As long as we launch an attack, they will not be able to hold back for long, and will eventually be defeated." It must be them. But don't forget that behind them is the mighty Mongolia. Although their rule is far away from here, once the news spreads, who can guarantee that they will not make up our minds? How should we treat a 5000-man Mongolian cavalry? If we fight, can we win?"

"This..." Hu Lu originally wanted to say something grandly, but after hearing this, he still had to keep his mouth shut after a long time.

Bert also let out a long sigh in his heart at this moment.Mongolia is too powerful, so powerful that when he wants to do something to Ba Gen, he has to think carefully, because once the terrible consequences come, he will never be able to bear it.

What he wants in his heart is to use the land of Narcissus Town to develop and strengthen himself, not to attract others to attack him.In order to achieve this goal, he didn't even forcefully recruit troops in the town, because he knew that there must be spies from the Beiming army here.Now he only has [-] cavalry and he will not be regarded as a threat by the Beiming army, but if he absorbs all the men in the town as his subordinates, his power can be multiplied in an instant, which will naturally attract Beiming troops. Ming Dajun's attention, once the other party sends a large army to encircle and suppress, it will be a problem whether he can gain a foothold.

"Well, in this way, do we want to see Bargen grow stronger step by step, until he threatens us?" Sighing, Bert said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Perhaps we can send someone to discuss this with Bagen. After all, we can't get the same conditions. At worst, we will do the same. Presumably the men in the town will choose to join us." Returning back, the general tried talking.

Although due to the environment, they didn't save much money, but it wasn't that they didn't have any inventory. It was really urgent, and they also offered the same conditions.

"It seems that there can only be such a person." Peter nodded, which was the same as what he had thought before.But in this way, the money in his hands will shrink a lot. If things go on like this, without enough income, he may not even be able to spend military expenses one day.

Just as Bert nodded and made a decision, a soldier walked in from outside the house, knelt down and said, "General, there is a man who claims to be the Five-Star Army who wants to see you."

"Five-Star Army." Bert is no stranger to this name, knowing that this is also a team with thousands of cavalry, and it also has some combat effectiveness.But that's all, after all, his strength is more than three times that of the opponent. "Well, can someone tell me something?"

"No, the person who came here claimed to be Ding Shan, and said he had business to discuss with the general. As for the business, he really didn't dare to talk to me." The soldier knelt down and answered truthfully.

"Business? Hehe, let's invite him in." Bert smiled, this is also a normal thing.Because they can get leather goods such as green mouse skins here, as well as things that are urgently needed outside such as sea dongqing and pearls, so it is not surprising that ordinary businessmen contact him.

It's just that usually this kind of businessman will appear in early spring and late autumn. It's already summer like this, and it's really rare to see businessmen talking to him.

With curious eyes, neither Hu Lu nor General Huilibu moved their bodies. They were also curious about what kind of business this Red Flag Ding Shan wanted to discuss with them.

The soldiers left and returned quickly, followed by Ding Shan with a smile on his face.As soon as this person entered the house, he hugged his fists very humbly and greeted the three of them one by one, "Dingshan has met three generals, hello three generals."

"Well, are you Ding Shan of the Five-Star Army? May I ask what position do you hold there?" He asked involuntarily, he also played the role of a vanguard, and he couldn't just let the general take care of himself if there was something wrong.

"A villain's talent is limited, he's just a company commander." Ding Shan still had a smile on his face, with indescribable sincerity.

"Company commander?" Bu Bu frowned, apparently he had never heard of this position before, "Company commander? I wonder how many people under Brother Ding's command?"

"Oh, there are only 100 people." Ding Shan still said with a smile, and he didn't show the slightest self-deprecation because he could only lead a hundred troops.

"Hundred people? Hehe, hehehe." The three of Bet couldn't help laughing when they heard that the other party was just a centurion.So what is the prestigious official position of the company commander?Unexpectedly, he was a centurion.By the way, it must be that Ding Shan also knew his official position and was embarrassed to say it out loud, so he intentionally called him the company commander, but in the end the three of them saw through his identity.Hey, I don't know what the five-star army thinks, but when they came to see me, they only sent a centurion. Does this mean they look down on me?

The three of them seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of sullenness on their faces. Ding Shan saw it, and he naturally knew that there was a change in the other party's heart, and he sighed in his heart. Sending me here is enough to give you face.

Of course, he couldn't say these words, and no one would believe them when he said them. Thinking about his mission, he put away his original smile and said as seriously as possible, "Three generals, this time In fact, I came here to trade with you, and I think it shouldn't matter what identity I am in front of interests."

"Yeah." Huili didn't hold back his anger, "You're talking about a deal, so let's talk about the content and amount of the deal."

They didn't refuse right away, they wanted to wait for Ding Shan to finish speaking, and then humiliate the other party. After all, he was only a centurion, and they really didn't think the other party could come up with anything to seduce them.

Ignoring the other party's somewhat indifferent attitude, Ding Shan finally said, "Three generals, our Five Star Army came here to buy war horses. We know that the nobles have many war horses in captivity. It’s better to sell it to us than to eat food for free, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

"Buy horses? Do you want to buy war horses?" Still he said these things in silence, and then laughed, "Company Commander Ding, right, but I don't know how many horses you want? What price can you offer? "

The words "several horses" are intentionally emphasized, and the meaning is to satirize Ding Shan. As a mere centurion, you can be such a master. Even if you buy horses, you should only buy a few horses. The sale of war horses is indeed the main source of income for their Jurchen clan, but if it is just a few horses, they will not pay attention to them.

How many horses?

Ding Shan sneered at the other party in his heart, and then changed his tone into a very proud attitude. He had already thought about it, whoever said that a businessman must bow his head, was a small businessman.He was a big businessman, and since he was a big businessman with a lot of money in his pocket, it wasn't that he wanted to see other people's faces, but others wanted to see his mood.Ding Shan, whose tone changed accordingly, seemed to be a different person compared to just now, "Three generals, you must have made a mistake. Our five-star army is not about how many horses we want, but how many horses we have." You can ask for as much as you want, as for the price, it is negotiable.”

Chapter 643 It's All About You

"Huh?" Originally, they were not paying attention. If it wasn't because they didn't want to stand up enemies at will, they might have driven Ding Shan out of here. It's just a small force with only more than 1000 troops. They Jurchens are really not afraid.But all of this changed with Ding Shan's words.

It seemed that he thought he didn't hear clearly, but this time it was Bett who asked in person, "Wait a minute, what did Company Commander Ding say just now?"

Seeing that Lian Bote was shocked by himself, Ding Shan's sense of superiority immediately increased a lot. Thinking that the store owner can deceive customers, but at the same time the Keda can also deceive the store, so he recovered. He said with a smile on his face just now, "I said that there is no limit to the number of war horses to buy this time. We can buy as many as you can provide, and the price will satisfy you."

"Hiss!" He heard it clearly this time, but it was because of this that the three of Bert gasped.Unexpectedly, the Five Star Army is still a big customer, let alone that they are really rich.

Just now, Bet was worried that he didn't have enough money in his hands, and that he didn't have enough advantage when facing the Mongolian army.Unexpectedly, God of Wealth was sent to them so soon, and he, who didn't care about the other party, added a smile on his face, "Haha, come, prepare a seat for Company Commander Ding."

Just now Ding Shan was standing in the middle of the main hall, surrounded by the three of Bert, giving people the feeling of being judged in three courts. Now when he heard that the other party has strong strength, his attitude immediately changed. This is strength the role of the.

Immediately, soldiers entered the main hall, moved a long table, and prepared a blanket for the floor.Ding Shan didn't see him either, and after expressing his thanks with a smile, he came to the long table and sat down. He casually took a wine bowl on the table and poured it into his mouth, and then said good wine.

Ding Shan intentionally showed a heroic look, even if he drank, he took a mouthful of a bowl, which instantly attracted the favor of the three of Bet, especially Hu Lu, who was originally straightforward, and when he drank Naturally, he also likes to drink heavily. Seeing that Ding Shan seems to be a fellow, he laughed out loud with a sincere smile on his face, and drank a bowl with him from afar.

Ding Shan, who drank two bowls of wine, didn't change his face, and his heart didn't beat wildly. He looked at Bert who was sitting at the head, and said with a smile, "General, can we discuss the price and the number of horses?"

"Okay, since Company Commander Ding came here on his own initiative, then you should set the price." Bert chuckled, expressing his opinion like an old fox.

The other party wanted to listen to his own opinion. This was to make a decision before making a move. Ding Shan had no opinion on this. After all, this was his territory, and of course he had the final say. "Okay, now that the general has said it, let's make an offer for the small ones. We bid 120 taels for a batch of good war horses, which is already the highest price in the market. As long as the war horses arrive, we will deliver the money, but it's only a few 10 taels." Ten thousand taels of silver, our five-star army has nothing but a lot of silver, hahaha."

Ding Shan is very confident, and Bert and the others also believe in this point.If the other party didn't prepare enough silver, then why should they talk about cooperation with themselves.Besides, if there is not enough money, aren't they afraid that they will go crazy?You must know that this is their Jurchen territory, and their military strength is several times higher than that of the opponent, no one will take the initiative to provoke such a powerful existence.

As for the price of 120 taels for a horse, this is indeed very fair.In the market, ordinary horses are generally around 30 taels, war horses are generally 100 taels to 120 taels, and very few high-quality horses will be sold for a sky-high price of 150 taels.But that all refers to the price of home delivery. This time people came to Narcissus Town on their own initiative, then they only need to hand over the goods to the other party. For this alone, I don’t know how much transportation costs and It's risky. From this point of view, the price of 120 taels is indeed exciting.

But who in this world would think that money is more?

Since it was a door-to-door deal, and Ding Shan seemed determined to win it, of course Bert had no reason to let it go lightly.So even though his heart beat a few times when he heard 120 taels of war horses, on the surface he was really calm, shook his head and said, "The price is too low."

Ding Shan was able to drive 120 taels of horses, which was naturally after careful consideration.Yes, Zhang Mingzhi of Shuangcheng did see the price of 200 taels of a war horse before, but he didn't mean to do business sincerely at all, he was going to grab it.Facts also proved this point. After the dead Zhang Zhizhi's body was found in Jiaoshan Col, no large sum of money was found on him or in the team.

This time Ding Shan really wanted to trade sincerely.But the other party still dislikes that the price is too low, which is a bit of a stretch.Ding Shan argued with reason, "General Bert, we came here to buy it. You only need to send the horse out of Narcissus Town, and our transaction is considered complete. This will save you a lot of trouble."

"I told you, the price is too low." Not intending to reason with Ding Shan, Porter still bit his previous thoughts and repeated it.

Ding Shan really wanted to leave in a hurry, he saw the greed of Bert.But when he thought that the Sixth Young Master was waiting for his news outside the town, he had to forcefully suppress the idea of ​​getting up and leaving, then looked at Pott and said, "How much does the general think is appropriate?"

"150 taels. We can guarantee the quality of the war horses. If you don't like them, you can return them to us." He said proudly, and a picture of our Jurchen war horses looks like the best.

This horse is equivalent to an extra 30 taels. In this way, if you buy four horses, you will lose one horse. The business is a bit of a loss.But considering what the Sixth Young Master said before coming here, as long as the quality of the horses is good, it doesn't matter if you pay more. What the mercenaries lack now is horses, and they can't delay the big event just because of a little money.Thinking of this, Ding Shan finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, that's it, I agree to this price, but I don't know how many war horses the general has to sell, so I can go back and prepare money."

Ding Shan actually agreed?

Thinking of opening his mouth wide in front of the lion, the other party has to hesitate for a while, even if he gets up and leaves now, it is normal to come to discuss in a few days.Even if it must be settled today, then a little price, such as 130 taels or 140 taels, is acceptable.He just agreed without saying anything, which was indeed beyond the surprise of the three of them.But at the same time, they are also very happy, a horse can sell 30 taels more, how much more money can they make, with this money, can't they have a good fight with the Mongolian army on the issue of recruits?

"Haha, okay, Company Commander Ding is indeed a cheerful person, and he speaks quickly. Even so, this general is more open-minded, and I will sell you a thousand war horses at the price of 150 taels each." Bert laughed loudly, as if Fearing that Dingshan would regret it, he quickly settled the matter.
