Chapter 1055: Chapter 884, Black Eats Black
The border town was called Bamu Town; although it was a market place for mutual trading between Xiliao and Xiliang, it didn’t cover a large area. This was mainly because it belonged to a lawless zone, where fierce fights frequently broke out.
People without any clout wouldn’t dare to trade here; ordinary residents who ca over would likely be robbed, and the unlucky ones could even lose their lives.
The local residents here were scarce; however, those who remained usually had so courage and tactics.
This ti Xiao Yeyang ca to buy horses, he did so by finding a local interdiary in the town.
The small town was still quite lively; Xiao Yeyang led Daohua at a steady pace, carefully observing everything about the town as he walked on the street.
On the street, there were more Xiliao people than Daxia people, and they were more active, indirectly indicating that Xiliao people were more dominant in this town. Delving deeper, one could also surmise the military weakness of Xiliang’s Commandant Office in recent years.
Xiliao people ca and went freely on Daxia’s territory; if they could also oppress the local residents, what was this if not the incompetence of the Governnt Office?
“This place does seem a bit like a wholesale market.”
Daohua comnted as she observed the rchants on the street and spoke to Xiao Yeyang.
“Wholesale…” Xiao Yeyang mulled over the word before laughing, “You’re quite right.”
Daohua continued, “If the Governnt Office took over managent, this place would surely beco more standardized and lively.”
Xiao Yeyang agreed with Daohua’s statent, “But there’s a prerequisite, and that is that Xiliang’s army must be strong enough to intimidate Xiliao, forcing them to adhere to the rules we establish.”
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile, “Aren’t you here? I believe that day will co.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled back, his eyes twinkling with determination; since he had co to Xiliang, he had to make significant achievents.
Main Street trade was still relatively normal, but when Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the backstreets, they were filled with a lot of illegitimate business.
Seeing the won being sold in cages, Daohua subconsciously frowned.
There were won from Xiliao, as well as from Daxia.
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua along quickly, and in a short while, they reached a courtyard that looked quite decent.
After Dafu knocked on the door, a middle-aged burly man soon ca out.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the burly man Ma Teng imdiately smiled and greeted him with a fist and palm salute, “Mr. Xiao has arrived; please co in and have a seat in the house.”
Xiao Yeyang, “No need, Mr. Ma, I don’t have much ti. I’d like to see the horses now. Have the horse traders arrived yet?”
Ma Teng readily complied, as the gentleman before him was a major custor. If he facilitated today’s deal, he could earn a handso commission, “They’ve arrived; they’ve been here for a while, shall I lead you there now?”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Lead the way.”
Since Xiao Yeyang required a large number of horses, the horse traders had not entered the town and were waiting outside.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Daohua suddenly spoke up, “Sir, I noticed you seem to have a couple of black and white cows in your yard?”
Ma Teng was startled, then quickly nodded, “Madam has good eyesight; indeed, there are two cows. A Xiliao trade caravan left them with to sell, but unfortunately, they’ve been priced too high, and no one’s bought them yet.”
Daohua, “Can we go in to take a look?”
Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he had no objection, imdiately invited the group into the courtyard.
Looking at the two black and white cows in the yard that were obviously larger than ordinary cows, Xiao Yeyang inquired, “Xiliao has this breed of cows?”
Ma Teng chuckled and shook his head, “They’re not from Xiliao, they were exchanged by Xiliao rchants with other countries in the Western Regions. Perhaps because they ate too much, the rchants didn’t want to keep them, so they left them here.”
Noticing Daohua walking around the two cows, Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, “Do you want to buy them?”
Daohua quickly nodded; black and white dairy cows were the highest milk-producing breed.
Imdiately looking at Ma Teng, Xiao Yeyang declared, “We’ll take these two cows.”
Ma Teng’s smile widened instantly, “These two cows are perfectly a pair, one male and one female. Mr. Xiao and Madam won’t regret buying them for sure.”
Thank heavens, the cows were finally sold. You see, ever since those cows arrived, he had spent a considerable amount of Silver on feeding them. With soone buying them, he was naturally overjoyed.
i Lan and i Ju stepped forward, each leading one cow out of the yard.
Xiao Yeyang sensed Daohua’s happiness and chuckled, “Just two cows, are they really worth being this excited over?”
