Nalan finally couldn't make up his mind. Nalan bowed to Bai Qi and smiled, "Brother-in-law, this matter is too big. I want to find a few people to discuss before making a decision."
Bai Qi said in a hurry: "Girl, you have to think about this matter carefully, but there is a saying that my brother-in-law wants to say first. Exchange of war horses to eat may be the only way now, so you can think clearly."
Nalan left with disappointment and hope. Hope that the food problem was not good, he could exchange it for a war horse. The disappointment was that Bai Qi didn't have any other thoughts when he looked at her from beginning to end. This made Nalan, who had been dressed up for a long time, feel a frustration. Think about Qin Yushu's face and proud figure that could bring all living beings, and look at the petiteness on his chest, Nalan had no confidence at all.
Nalan went out of the door, and Qin Yushu flashed out from behind the screen, walked over with joy and said, "Honey, I didn't expect that you really have a gentlemanly style in front of Nalan. Such a handsome girl, you are indifferent to seeing you with that look at her several times."
Bai Qi smiled slightly after hearing this, and thought to himself that Nalan is indeed a beauty. It’s a pity that she is still young. She is 16 or 7 years old and has not grown up yet. For Bai Qi, such a young and tender person is not much lethal. Bai Qi thinks that he does not have Luo Li’s preferences, so he naturally has less interest in this Nalan girl.
"My wife said this. Nalan is the girl you recognized. How could I have a bad idea? Besides, she is still a little girl, how could I publish her?" Bai Qi looked righteous and stern.
Qin Yushu's eyes rolled and he smiled, "Is that right?" Before Bai Qi could answer, he retreated back to the room with a cunning smile. Although Bai Qi felt that Qin Yushu's smile was a little wrong, he couldn't find any name, so he had to stand in front of the hall and continue thinking about how to operate the transaction of fighting horses for food.
Nalan, who returned to his room, immediately called Derile and said that Bai Qi's opinion to Derile. Derile was happy when he heard this, "Master, this is a good thing."
Nalan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Derile said seriously: "As for us, the food that people eat is not settled, and the hay that the cattle and horses of various tribes spend the winter is also tense. Once the food is gone one day, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no killing horses to satisfy hunger. Then, master, think about what kind of mood the men on the grassland will be."
Nalan frowned when asked this question, but he didn't know how to answer it. Dejile's words were actually a bit exaggerated. The men on the grassland loved war horses the most, and even if they starved to death, they might not kill war horses. Dejile just thought about it based on the situation in front of him, but this idea made Nalan very moved.
Seeing that Nalan didn't say anything, Derile continued: "Master, it's not a slave to complain. These old masters and you are compassionate. In order for the people on the grassland to recover from the war as soon as possible, they have not collected taxes seriously for more than ten years. You know the situation of the treasury now. Just to get more than one million silver, the people you are worried about have lost a lot. What we lack on the grassland is silver, but we have never lacked war horses, cattle and sheep. Now Bai Qi has proposed this method. Isn't this just for our needs?"
Derile said this to Nalan's heart. Nalan was worried about money for the past period of time. Although the princes of all tribes were united, everyone was the same. There were many cattle, sheep, horses and horses in the family. If the silver was mentioned, the thing was not very useful on the grassland. Even if mainland vendors traded on the grassland, they would mainly barter.
After thinking for a long time, Nalan Xin asked unwillingly: "Derrile, have you ever thought about it? Once the Han people have these war horses, what other advantages can we have if the two sides fight in the future?"
After hearing this, Derile corrected his color again and knelt down to Nalan and said, "Although my master is young, his ambitions will not allow Junggar Khan of the past to prepare for the future, and now he can rest assured his servant." Speaking of this, Derile changed his tone and said, "But judging from the current matter, the slave thinks that the master does not have to worry about the future. Although we have been recuperating for thirty years, our national strength and financial resources have been greatly improved, but the Huns are always on the side. If we want to ride the Central Plains, we have to wait until we have cleaned up the Huns and unify the grasslands before we can consider this issue. This is one of them."
Before Nalan answered, Derile continued: "Secondly, this time the Great Qi needs war horses. According to our intelligence, the Huns have been severely damaged by the Great Qi State on the intelligence network of the Great Qi State. The angry Huns are constantly causing trouble on the border of the Great Qi. The people of Da Qi are now focusing on the Huns. I think this time buying war horses is also to deal with the Huns. Since it is used to deal with the Huns, isn't it just right for us?"
Nalan was still worried and said, "But have you ever thought about Derile? When our warlike horses arrive in the Central Plains, it is equivalent to leaving the seeds of warlike horses for the Han people. With the wisdom of the Han people, will they not use this opportunity to develop their own warlike horse numbers?"
Derile smiled again, gently curled his mouth and said, "Master, I am not underestimating the Han people. We are not as good as them in terms of fighting, but in terms of serving cattle, sheep and horses, they will never catch up with us for several lifetimes. Besides, besides the grassland, how can we raise wild war horses? Can we still praise war horses without wild war horses?"
Nalan thought for a long time, and finally bowed slightly to Derile and said, "Thank you for your teachings. The strange mother Khan repeatedly recommended you to me before her death, saying that you look rough on the outside, but in fact you are meticulous and have a long-term vision. You are really a rare talent for prime ministers on the grassland. At first I didn't believe it, and I often complain about you on weekdays. Now when I think about it, I am actually jealous of you."
A rough man in his thirties turned red, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "I was just an orphan on the grassland. If the old master hadn't been merciful, I would have already fed the wolf. My life would have belonged to my master long ago. I said it all for my master's country. Now that the master is so proud, I am ashamed of it, and I can only work harder for my master in the future to repay my master's knowledge."
"I'm so lucky to have a subordinate like you."
Nalan, who made up his mind, came to Bai Qi's room again and expressed his determination to exchange war horses for food. After Bai Qi got this expected answer, he smiled slightly and said, "Since Nalan's sister has made up her mind, please come with me to Jiezhou. Jiezhou Army will make good friends with me. He will be responsible for changing grain for war horses. As long as he can tell him, this matter will be done."
Nalan agreed immediately without hesitation this time.
After getting on the road again, I didn't have much money to prepare two luxurious carriages. The wide carriage was covered with thick felt cloth, and it was very comfortable to sway on it. Although it was good to feel the shaking in the carriage, Bai Qi was still a little dissatisfied. The reason was very simple. Qin Yushu didn't know what was wrong, so he actually called Nalan to the carriage. The two women chatted along the way, ignoring Bai Qi's existence at all. This was not the most dissatisfied with Bai Qi. What Bai Qi was dissatisfied was that he had always wanted to feel the feeling of having sex with a woman on the stallion. Now, due to Qin Yushu's arrangements, it has become a bubble.
Qin Yushu, the initiator of the incident, saw Bai Qi raising his mouth dissatisfiedly, and he showed a cunning smile every time. Seeing Bai Qi's teeth itchy, the only way to revenge was to wait until it was dark to stay, Bai Qi vented the desire accumulated during the day. Qin Yushu made Bai Qi half-dead every night, so he could be clear and full of energy, and he still called Nalan over to chat with him. Bai Qi had to sit alone, humming in his mouth, "I don't have that life..."
This time was really booming for the Bai family. Because Bai Yunfan destroyed the Xiongnu intelligence network in one fell swoop, Xue Yiran, the lord of the Great Qi Kingdom, appointed Bai Yunfan as the governor of Jiezhou Army and the governor, and arrested all major military and political affairs. Secondly, Bai Yunfan's elite military plan was also highly valued by Xue Yiran because of the crackdown on the Xiongnu intelligence network. Not only did it pass immediately, but it also required Bai Yunfan's 50,000 troops to be reorganized.
In addition, the follow-up handling of the Xiongnu Intelligence Network case was also left to Bai Qiwei, and the Bai family suddenly became lively. Many officials who were originally swaying between the Bai and Su families, but because they had some connection with the Xiongnu Intelligence Network case, have now turned to Bai Qiwei's side.
Originally, the Bai family came to visit the family on weekdays, but now they are full of civil and military families. This made Bai Qiwei so popular that he was in the capital.
Just when people thought that Bai Qiwei, who always liked the arrogant, would take the opportunity to suppress Su Yuncheng, it turned out to be a big expectation. Bai Qiwei was surprisingly low-key and rarely expressed his opinions on anything in the court. Even if it was within the scope of his own rights, he would seek Su Yuncheng's opinions in everything, which made the civil and military officials in the court confused. Could it be that Bai Qiwei had changed his nature?
However, the king of the country, Xue Yiran, was very satisfied with the situation that appeared in front of him. Ran Xue Yiran was very pleased with the cooperation attitude shown by the two important officials of civil and military affairs.
As for the Taiwei Ye Zhuifeng, he still looked the same, as if he didn't care about anything. An unprecedented strange situation occurred inside and outside the government and outside of the Great Qi State.
