    "Mr. Jia, let's continue the previous topic. I can refund you the one million taels of deposit you paid me half a month ago, and give you another two hundred thousand taels as compensation. But it just arrived in Kyoto from Hanyue Country  I can never give you those white snow horses again." At this time, a man in his fifties said.

    Jia Jinxue has just introduced him, so both Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu know that this old man¡¯s surname is Zhao.

    "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are an elder, and I respect you, but what you are doing is wrong. I have already paid the deposit, how can you regret it now? If you think this business is profitable, you can pay for it yourself next time.  Hanyue Kingdom imports white snow horses, but I asked you to buy this batch from Hanyue Kingdom, so you should leave it to me both emotionally and rationally." Jia Jinxue was a little unhappy.

    "Master Jia, what you said is wrong. I, Zhao, did accept your deposit, but you are too dishonest. Relying on your grandfather, Prime Minister Jia, you knew that the emperor would order a large-scale purchase of white snow horses, so you decided to  We got involved in this business. It would be fine if you just did this business without telling us, but you actually used us as gunmen and asked us to buy horses for you in Hanyue Kingdom, while you sat at home waiting to collect the money. Before  Those two batches of horses have already made you three times the price. I checked with several shopkeepers and you have made at least four million taels of silver. I want to sell these horses to the court myself, and I will not do it anyway.  For you." Shopkeeper Zhao also became angry at this time.

    "That's it, that's it Mr. Jia, you are so dishonest. You put a deposit on us and asked us to buy a horse for you, but we can't buy it ourselves. We are determined not to do this business."  At that time, the middle-aged man named Sun, who was in his forties, also spoke.

    Several other old men also echoed, accusing Jia Jin of being a student.

    "Seniors, please pay attention to something. In Kyoto, no one knows the status of Jia Jinxue in the Jia family. My grandfather has always looked down on me. I can probably count all the people I have met with him since he was a child. Let me ask you.  How could I get the news from him that the imperial court was going to purchase Snow White Horses? Moreover, my grandfather always regarded the imperial court as more important than our Jia family. Even as the prime minister, he would not dare to purchase horses in such a confidential matter.  You are talking nonsense. Jia paid for you to buy a horse for me because he saw this business opportunity. No matter what, you all accepted the money from Jia Jinxue. If you do such a regretful thing, I¡¯m afraid  It will damage your reputation."

    "Mr. Jia, you just paid us a deposit and asked us to do something, and you didn't buy something from one of our merchants. Now that your matter can't be handled, we will return the deposit to you and give you some extra compensation. What's the point of it?  Damaging reputation?" Another old man named Qian said.

    At this moment, Nangong Yi has basically figured out the matter.

    The Hanyue Kingdom is rich in white snow horses. This kind of horse only lives in the cold Snow and Cold Country, and because the white snow horse likes severe cold when living in the country, it is difficult to introduce this kind of horse to the Qin State.

    In this winter, Nangong Yi has seen the Snow White Horse several times. When he escorted Hong Yunxiu, Hong Jinquan and Kitano Qinyin from Qinzhou not long ago, the horse used to pull the carriage was the Snow White Horse, so Nangong Yi was very interested in it.  The stallion still has a certain understanding.

    In addition to being cold-resistant, the Snow White Horse is also extremely strong and is the most common war horse in Hanyue Kingdom.

    But among the Qin army, there are almost no such white snow horses.  This is because the White Snow Horse is not adapted to the mild weather in Qin. In winter, this kind of horse still has fighting ability, but when the climate warms, the White Snow Horse performs worse than ordinary horses.

    "And in the Qin State, there are also good horses like the Chollima, which are equally powerful, but they are not cold-resistant.

    There was only one large-scale use of snow-white horses as war horses in the history of the Qin State, and that was when the Qin State fought against the Hanyue Kingdom 1,200 years ago. The Qin State relied on the white snow-white horses originating from the Hanyue Kingdom to fight against the Hanyue Kingdom.

    In order to prevent something like this from happening again, Hanyue Kingdom has stopped selling snow-white horses to the Qin court since the war 1,200 years ago.

    However, Hanyue Kingdom has a cold climate and extremely scarce materials.  After the war between Hanyue Kingdom and Qin State, the two countries resumed trade, but Hanyue Kingdom could not bring many things to trade with Qin State, so the white snow horse had to be sold to Qin State as a commodity again.

    However, Hanyue Kingdom has imposed many restrictions. First, Hanyue Kingdom still prohibits the sale of white snow horses to the Qin court, and only sells them to Qin merchants for civilian use. Secondly, on this basis, Hanyue Kingdom also prohibits the sale of white snow horses.  Strict limits were placed on the number of white snow horses for Qin merchants, and it was stipulated that a maximum of three thousand white snow horses could be provided to a Qin merchant each year to prevent the Qin court from obtaining a sufficient number of white snow horses from Hanyue Kingdom through a third party.

    It is not difficult to explain why Jia Jinxue has money himself, but still asks someone to help him get money from HanyueThe reason why the country bought the Snow White Horse.  Because in his name, he could only buy at most three thousand horses from Hanyue Kingdom.

    The reason why Shopkeeper Zhao said that Jia Jinxue was dishonest was because after Shopkeeper Zhao bought three thousand horses for Jia Jinxue, he could no longer buy another Snow White horse from Hanyue Kingdom.

    Now, Nangong Yi is thinking about another question: why the imperial court suddenly purchased Snow White Horses from Qin merchants.

    "Does Qin Ren want to go to war with Hanyue Kingdom like Qin Zhi?" Nangong Yi thought to himself, vaguely feeling that things were not simple.

    "Mr. Jia, I think it is better for us all to take a step back. Mr. Jia, if you pay double the price, we will hand over the white snow horse to you, and you will sell it to the court. In this way, we will all make money.  Yes." Li Jingming suggested.

    Nangong Yi no longer wanted to waste time here, so he said: "Brother Jia, I think what shopkeeper Li said is right, you can just pay double the price, even if it means forming a good relationship with the shopkeepers here.  .¡±

    If someone else had tried to persuade Jia to study, he might not have relented, but it was Nangong Yi who persuaded him.

    "Okay, I will listen to you, brother, and I am willing to pay double the price. I just don't know if the other shopkeepers are willing to accept this price." Jia Jinxue said.

    Except for Li Jingming, several shopkeepers were hesitant.  Because the price the imperial court paid for the Snow White Horse was three times the price they paid for the Snow White Horse from Xueyue Kingdom, even if Jia Jinxue paid twice as much, it would still be Jia Jinxue who made the biggest profit.

    "Several shopkeepers, it is true that you have lost money on this transaction, but there are business rules. Since you have received my friend's deposit, now my friend has agreed to double the price, which is already done.  It's a big concession, and you guys have no reason to hesitate anymore." Nangong Yi became a little impatient and said calmly.

    Nangong Yi suddenly interrupted and spoke to them in such a condescending manner, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other six shopkeepers except Li Jingming.

    However, although these six people did not take Nangong Yi seriously, they valued Jia Jinxue. Firstly, Jia Jinxue had stronger financial resources than them, and secondly, because of Prime Minister Jia, they had no choice but to swallow their dissatisfaction.

    Of course, if these six people know that Nangong Yi is a powerful person in the Yuan Qi realm who can rival the Holy Realm, I am afraid that Nangong Yi will call them grandson, and these six people will not dare to show dissatisfaction.

    "Okay, at the price you pay, we will give you the horses this time." The middle-aged man surnamed Sun stood up and said seriously.

    As soon as the middle-aged man relented, the others had no choice but to agree regardless of their unwillingness.

    In Kyoto, the Jia family is stronger than any of the seven of them in terms of wealth and power. This is why the seven of them appeared together with Li Jingming today. Only the seven families can join forces to negotiate with Jia Jinxue.

    Now that Li Jingming is helping Jia Jinxue to speak, and Shopkeeper Sun has relaxed his words again, how can the others persist.

    After the negotiation, there was nothing to talk about. Except for Li Jingming and Li Ruolan, the other six shopkeepers all left one after another.

    "Mr. Jia, Mr. Li wants to talk to you alone about something. I wonder if you are willing to give me a favor?" Li Jingming came to Jia Jinxue and said after everyone else left.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay if Shopkeeper Li has any objections,¡± Jia Jinxue said with a smile.

    "This" Li Jingming looked at Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu, and then at Li Ruolan, feeling a little hesitant.

    "Shopkeeper Li, there are no outsiders here, so just tell me."

    Li Jingming smiled awkwardly first, and then said: "Mr. Jia, I heard that you are not married yet. Is it true?"

    Having said this, Nangong Yi, Hong Yunxiu, Jia Jinxue and Li Ruolan all understood what Li Jingming meant. Before, Nangong Yi had speculated that Li Ruolan would appear here tonight to help his father negotiate business. Now it seems that this is not the case.  , it turns out that Li Jingming wanted to bring Jia Jinxue and Li Ruolan together.

    "This" Jia Jinxue looked at Li Ruolan, a little hesitant, not knowing how to answer.

    "Dad, why do you ask Mr. Jia this question?" Li Ruolan seemed a little unhappy and wanted to urge Li Jingming to leave.

    "Shopkeeper Li, Brother Jia does not have a wife." At this time, Hong Yunxiu answered for Jia Jinxue.

    "That's good. Mr. Jia, my daughter is only eighteen years old"

    "Dad, is there anyone like you who can be a matchmaker for your daughter? Stop talking here and leave quickly." Li Ruolan was a little anxious, urging her while looking towards Nangong Yi.

    "Shopkeeper Li, I am indeed not married yet. However, marriage is about your will and my will. I admire Miss Li very much, but there is no other way."?? means.  And I think Miss Li doesn't seem to have that kind of intention towards me. I can only accept Shopkeeper Li's kindness.  "

    "Mr. Jia, this matter" Li Jingming wanted to say something else, but Li Ruolan had already walked to him, took his arm, and almost dragged him downstairs.

    Seeing this, Jia Jinxue shook his head helplessly.
