213. War Horse for Quota

"Tang Dynasty envoy, can you give us more quota for selling fresh milk?" Wu Qishi begged to Jing Wen.

Wu Qishi had no choice. He was oppressed by the big tribes. Originally, they only had 50,000 kilograms of fresh milk sales quota, but now they were snatched away by the big tribe, which made them almost unreal. And they also knew that although the Han people gave them quota, the Han people could not manage the affairs on the grassland. If they were snatched, they would be snatched, and the Han people could not make the decision. Therefore, they could only find ways to ask Jing Wen to give more quotas, so that they would still make a profit.

Jing Wen immediately pretended to be stupid and asked, "Didn't I give you 50,000 pounds? Why do you still want it?"

Of course, Wu Qishi couldn't say that he was robbed by the big tribe, he could only say: "Our tribe is too poor and cannot live, so I hope Tang can give you pity for us and give us an extra chance to make money. At that time, our tribe can maintain it safely, and we will definitely be grateful to Tang Zhi you!"

Jing Wen's face showed a smile, obviously a formulaic smile. Jing Wen has gradually adapted to the work of this diplomat, and it feels very interesting. Not only can he make money, but he can also provoke other people's relationships. Isn't this great? This exciting game is very fun. Moreover, the Turks knew their own behavior, but it is impossible for them to kill themselves. Because the two countries are fighting, they are not killed yet! Moreover, they have not started a war, and if they kill the envoys without starting a war, it is a great hatred and cannot be easily resolved.

As for people like Wuqishi, Jing Wen has actually been in contact with several of them in the past few days. They all have a requirement, which is to increase the quota. The quota of those guys was indirectly snatched away by the large tribe, but they were unwilling to lose the opportunity to make money. So they all thought about increasing the quota. Only in this way can they continue to make money and maintain the lives of the tribe leaders like them!

"Well, since your tribe is too poor, we can also consider it. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and is enthusiastic about helping friendly countries. We can do our best to help whatever friendly countries need." Jing Wen first set the tone.

Jing Wen was so angry that he wanted to vomit because he was enthusiastic about helping friendly countries. This was completely unshakable. Not to mention whether the Turks were friendly countries, Jing Wen did not have the habit of doing Yang Bailao. Although the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had the preference for Yang Bailao, at least Jing Wen did not. Jing Wen did things with purpose, but the other things were not good. This was the good habit of people in later generations who could not get up early without profit. They would not easily raise the enemy for some invisible reputation, and they would also pay financial resources!

"But, we don't need that much! What do you think?" Jing Wen asked.

"I'll ask the envoy of Tang to think of a solution!" Wu Qishi begged.

Jing Wen looked at it seriously and finally said, "Actually, there is no way! We might as well do this. You can sell horses to us and then exchange for quotas. Didn't we discuss a trade agreement with the Turks about war horses for tea? We can reach an agreement with you small tribes. You can sell a war horse every time, and I can give you a quota of 100 kilograms of fresh milk. This is to take advantage of the opportunity to sell war horses to get more quotas. In this way, you can not only sell fresh milk, but also sell war horses to gain wealth. You can kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Jing Wen's idea is very simple, that is, to obtain war horses. Although the Tang Dynasty and the Turks signed an agreement on tea for war horses, they could think of it with their butts that the Turks would never sell their war horses to the Tang Dynasty, and they would definitely sell them to a limited extent. But if Jing Wen wants to obtain more war horses, he naturally had to find a way out from these small tribes. These small tribes don't care about national plans, as long as they can make money to develop tribes. Now no one in the Turks is willing to purchase their things, only the Tang envoy Jing Wen in front of them, so they all found Jing Wen in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Now what Jing Wen said, can they still refute? So, now Jing Wen said that he wanted to use war horses to exchange for quotas, and those small tribes really couldn't say anything.

"War horses exchange for fresh milk quota? How many war horses do you want every year? If there are too many, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it." Wu Qishi asked.

Jing Wen immediately stretched out his five fingers and said, "Five hundred horses! As long as you can provide 500 war horses, I can give you a quota of 50,000 kilograms, so your quota will be doubled. And we can also exchange war horses with tea, is that fair, right?"

When Wu Qishi heard that he was 500 war horses and exchanged them with tea, he immediately became happy. Because tea is now famous on the grassland, many Turkic nobles were drinking it, and it was good for the body. In the future, it is probably a huge amount of tea needed on the grassland, so tea is one of the hard currency on the grassland and is not afraid of depreciation. Wu Qishi also felt that it was impossible to hear that Jing Wen was willing to exchange tea for war horses. Anyway, he could make money twice at a time, and no one was unwilling to do it. And Wu Qishi was fooled by Jing Wen again. Now, these ordinary Turkic people were sold by Jing Wen and helped Jing Wen count the money!

Jing Wen’s so-called 100,000 kilograms of fresh milk at the beginning actually left room for room. In fact, 2000 kilograms of fresh milk, which is about 20,000 tons, is not enough for many people in the Tang Dynasty to drink fresh milk! If more people in the Tang Dynasty want to drink fresh milk, 2000 kilograms of fresh milk is far from enough, so more is needed. The reason why Jing Wen only said that he wanted a quota of 200 kilograms was actually just to prepare for his subsequent actions. Now he can kill two birds with one stone, and he can obtain a lot of channels for war horses and fresh milk. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone? When the fresh milk processing factory starts at one point, then you can process these fresh milk into milk powder, and then transport it back to the Central Plains to enjoy for those nobles.
