Tang Yin had been guarding the Ba Pass for a long time, so he was naturally very familiar with the condition of the Mo Country.

Just as expected, after hearing what Tang Yin said, Zhao Ju rubbed his hands together and laughed dryly, looking slightly embarrassed. He did not know if Tang Yin and Ying Bu were good friends that had been for many years, but it was true that Ying Bu had allowed them to leave, so he believed that they definitely had a deep relationship.

After a moment of silence, he smiled apologetically: "One hundred silvers each, that's the lowest price I can give you. Master, from the Mo Country to here, we have traveled thousands of miles, the distance is very far, and the cost is also high. If the price is any lower, I won't have any profits anymore.

Tang Yin smiled, and thought that there was indeed room for him to lower the price. He glanced at Shangguan Yuanji, and the latter was also shaking her head at him, indicating that this was not the bottom line. He took a deep breath and said, "Buying war horses is not just a few hundred, but thousands or even tens of thousands. If Brother Zhao really wants to cooperate with me, then you should show your sincerity."

Zhao Ju thought that Tang Yin was troublesome to deal with, and laughed bitterly: "Master, I have been transporting the horses from Mo Country to Feng Country, how big of a risk is this?

Tang Yin nodded and paused for a moment, then replied sternly: "80 taels of silver each, other than this 100 horses, I still have 1000."

His words didn't have the slightest hesitation. He said he would cut down gold and cut down iron, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

"This …" Zhao Ju frowned, he lowered his head and remained silent. Of course, there was a profit to be made for every 80 taels of silver. However, this profit was already much smaller. He was also considering whether it was worth taking such a huge risk for these profits.

Seeing him lost in thought, Tang Yin said slowly: "Actually, these thousand warhorses are just the beginning, I will purchase even more later. Of course, if Brother Zhao thinks that my offer is too low, you can also give up cooperating with me. I will look for someone else."

"No, no, no!" Hearing that Tang Yin wanted to look for another horse merchant, Zhao Ju shook his head like a rattle drum. This business opportunity was simply too rare, if he were to miss it, it would be unknown how much less money he would earn. He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart, saying, "Fine! "I accept your price, and will pay less than 80 taels!"

"Alright!" Tang Yin secretly looked at Shangguan Yuanji, and at the moment the latter had a smile on his face, he only nodded his head, indicating that the price is acceptable. Seeing that, Tang Yin stood up and smiled to Zhao Ju: "I hope that we can exchange happily in the future."

"Of course, of course, please take care of me, milord."

"Brother Zhao is being too polite!"

After booking a price with Zhao Ju, Tang Yin immediately ordered Tang Zhong to take out 8000 silver from his Silver Bank and passed it to Zhao Ju. They first handed it to him, and then he bought the 100 war horses that he had brought with him.

Taking the chance that Zhao Ju was counting the silver taels, he walked out of the hall and into the courtyard. He casually picked one of the hundred horses that Zhao Ju had brought along, climbed onto the horse, and started running around the courtyard.

Although these Mo Country horses were not as good as the Ru Ying that Wu Mei gifted him, they were not much slower. Their speed was much faster than the Feng Country horses, and it was unknown how many times faster they were than the Savage Country horses. If he could really possess a few thousand Mo Country War Horses, then he could lead his subordinates, the cavalry, to go straight in, to slaughter his way in and out as he wished, and even fighting Bessa City with directly wasn't impossible.

After circling around the courtyard a few times, Tang Yin finally jumped off the horse, at the same time patting the horse's back with affection. Just then, Zhao Ju walked out from the hall, and laughed: "Is Master satisfied?"

"Yes!" Tang Yin calmly nodded his head and said: "Although it is not considered high quality, it is still not bad."

Zhao Ju was startled, and immediately said: "The horses I brought for Master were all carefully chosen."

Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting him. Then, he asked Domestic Servant to bring his Ru Ying over as he smiled and asked: "Brother Zhao, what do you think about my Mo Country horse?"

Zhao Ju was a horse merchant, so he was naturally a man who knew horses. There was no need to ride him to understand, just by looking at the appearance of the Ru Ying, he knew that this was a good horse that could be picked one in a thousand miles.

Seeing his surprised face, Tang Yin said: "I bought this from another Mo Country horse dealer, I hope Brother Zhao can also bring me this kind of good horse from time to time!" He said this to hint to Zhao Ju that he was not the only Ma Yuan in his possession, and to stop Zhao Ju from trying to set a price.

"Yes, yes, yes, of course, of course!" Zhao Ju nodded his head and cupped his hands, the confidence in his posture lessened.

Tang Yin laughed, then turned and spoke to Shangguan Yuanji: "Find the best inn in the city and settle down with Brother Zhao. We cannot neglect this guest."

"Yes, my lord!" Shangguan Yuanji replied as a faint smile surfaced on his face.

Tang Yin's performance was much better than he expected, pushing the price down so low to avoid the trouble of negotiating with Zhao Ju.

The matter of sealing the war horse with Zhao Ju had caused Tang Yin to secretly heave a sigh of relief, and allowed his plan to take yet another big step forward. What he was going to do next was to wait for Yue Tian and Ai Jia to report back about the Beast King Town and for a large number of war horses to arrive.

Ever since Tang Yin took up his position in the Pingyuan County, he had consecutively mobilized troops to fight. First, he exterminated the bandits, and then, he fought with the Savage Soldier.

Because Shangguan Yuanji had supported his policy, it was completely implemented. Not only did the rewards for farming and the titles of the citizens attract the citizens who had fled deep into the mountains, but it also attracted the citizens of the other counties to settle down in the Pingyuan County. The tax cuts for the businesses also attracted a large number of merchants to come and trade in the Pingyuan County, removing the restrictions on the titles of officials, allowing a large number of talented citizens to develop and improve.

When Tang Yin first arrived at the Heng City, the streets were filled with people, and the shops on both sides of the street were also in a half-closed state. But now, people were walking in and out of the streets, and looking at the shops in the city, there was not a single opening.

To have achieved such results in a short few months was naturally beyond Tang Yin's expectations.

The development of a town depended on the hearts of the people, and in order to win the hearts of the people, one had to know what the people wanted. If one wanted to know what the people wanted, they could not get an accurate answer from their subordinate officials.

That night, after Tang Yin finished eating, he called Qiu Zhen over. The two of them changed into coarse hemp clothes, exited the County Magistrate Mansion s, and headed towards the bustling night market.

In the past, the night market of Heng City was only opened once every ten days or half a month, and there were very few hawkers within the night market. But now, there were almost every night, with lanterns and festoons, a string of lanterns lit up the night market as if it was day, and there were also a lot of people wandering about in the night market.

Coming to this point, Tang Yin felt like he was in the midst of Yan City.

Tang Yin was extremely busy, he rarely had time to spare, and felt that everything was new and fresh. However, Qiu Zhen was different, he looked around and smiled: "Big Brother Tang, what do you think about the Heng City's night market?" Privately, Qiu Zhen's way of addressing Tang Yin had changed to the close to him from Big Brother Tang, and just pretending to be a scout was not suitable for him to call him Master.

"It's very lively, the feeling of having returned to the Yan City!" Tang Yin laughed.

"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen said half-jokingly: "If this continues development, perhaps one day, the level of flourishing of our Heng City will be comparable to that of our Yan City!"

Tang Yin laughed as he heard this.

Tang Yin stopped in front of a candy seller's stall. He was not interested in snacks, but he wanted to taste the sweet flavor of Pingyuan County. Picking up the sugar grains, he asked the owner of the candy store, "This brother, how's your business recently?"

Tang Yin was a handsome man, and he had a natural smile, which was very pleasing to the eye. Of course, people who knew him well would never think so. The owner of the candy store obviously had a good impression of him. He smiled and said, "There's been a lot of people in the city lately, so the business is especially good! "Little brother, from the sound of your accent, you're an outsider right? Don't come home, come to Hengcheng City and make a small deal. You'll be able to buy a house and land in a few years!

Hearing the boss's words, Tang Yin's mood was exceptionally carefree. He had originally planned to buy a bag of candy, but casually picked up two more packets, and asked: "How much three bags?"

"30 copper."

Tang Yin did not bring any loose copper coins, he took out half a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it over to the owner, smiling: "No need to look for it."

In Feng Country, one tael of silver was equivalent to one thousand copper coins, and half a tael of silver was equivalent to five hundred pellets. The boss was surprised at first, but when he confirmed the money was real, he beamed with joy and thanked him profusely.

Tang Yin gave the candy in his hand to Qiu Zhen, as he continued to walk forward.

Just as the two of them left the candy store, they suddenly heard a scream from behind them.

Tang Yin turned around and saw three burly men standing in front of the candy stall. One of the burly man grabbed the owner's wrist that was holding the broken silver and laughed coldly: "Boss, your business is not bad, I will take this silver for you. Even if you pay for setting up the stall here tonight!"

The candy stall owner's face was ugly, as if he was angry but didn't dare to say anything. His face was flushed red as he stammered, "Isn't it 100 copper coins every night? "This piece of silver is five hundred copper coins …"

"Stop f * cking blabbering!" That brawny man didn't wait for the boss to finish his words and snatched the silver taels from his hands. Then, he pushed the boss away fiercely. Before he left, he even brought two bags of candy with him and his companion.

Looking at the three of them strutting away, the candy store owner was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He clenched his fists tightly, but didn't dare to argue with them.

The three burly men walked up to the next stall. Just like before, they were asking for money and taking things. Their attitude was overbearing and arrogant, and the stall's owners did not dare to provoke them, allowing them to bully and bully them.

Seeing that, Tang Yin frowned, and looked at Qiu Zhen beside him suspiciously.

As a county governor of the Pingyuan County, he didn't even dare to treat the locals in such a manner. These three burly men were actually even more powerful than him, extremely lawless, and even dared to collect taxes on their own accord.

Qiu Zhen also did not recognize these three people, and said in a low voice: "They should be local bullies." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I'll go inform Gu Yue and have him dispatch people to apprehend these people."

Tang Yin waved his hand, he had only captured a few people, and could not cure the symptoms. If there was no one to support them, how could these three people be so arrogant and despotic? If he wanted to catch them, he would have to grab a big head.

He said softly, "When you go back, remember to remind me to ask Cheng Jin to come and see me immediately!"

"Yes sir!" Qiu Zhen agreed but he was confused in his heart. He did not understand why they did not look for Shangguan Yuanji or the other regiment leaders, but instead went to look for Cheng Jin.
