Chapter 44

Zhang Jiu nodded with a smile: "This is the business we do, after all; it's just that the share of warhorses you want this time is quite a bit more, but it's not a problem!"

"This time, I can provide you with 500 top-quality warhorses; is that enough?"

Although he didn't know why Su Xuan suddenly wanted so many top-quality warhorses, Zhang Jiu was not a meddlesome person.

He was only responsible for supplying the goods; he wouldn't worry about any subsequent problems.

Located in Yanmen Commandery, they are not short of good horses.

Whether it's the spoils of war from battles between the border commanderies and the Xiongnu or Xianbei, or trading with Hu merchants, they can obtain quite a few warhorses every month.

Moreover, the profit from warhorses is quite objective; he couldn't ask for more.

"That's good!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then said: "However, 500 is not enough! For the next trade, I hope there can be at least 1,000 top-quality warhorses; the more the better, does Uncle have a way?"

In order to let his iron cavalry form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Su Xuan wished he could get 3,000 or more top-quality warhorses immediately.

In addition, he was preparing to build heavy cavalry;

Therefore, one horse per person is actually far from enough; it's best to have two horses per person.

3,000 people would need at least 6,000 top-quality warhorses.

This is not a small number, and the money required to consume is also very large.

With the Su family's current financial resources, they couldn't take out so much at once.

Only after a few months, when new businesses like Drunken Immortal Brew take off, will there be sufficient funds.

Fortunately, there is still time.

"Oh?"

Zhang Jiu was startled upon hearing this: "Is your demand for warhorses actually this large?"

He pondered for a moment, his expression became much more solemn, and he said to Su Xuan: "I won't ask what you want so many warhorses for!"

"The next trade is in three months; by then, I will try my best to prepare more top-quality warhorses! 1,000 horses should still be no problem!"

"By then, I also hope you can bring enough Drunken Immortal Brew, white sugar, refined salt, and such;"

"Of course, refined steel weapons are also the more the better."

Located at the border, one can never have too many good weapons.

If you can't use them all, you can trade them to the border army!

There's no worry about selling them.

As for the Hu people, forget it.

Zhang Jiu wouldn't sell ironware to the Hu people; that would be aiding the enemy.

"No problem! Then it's settled! Thank you, Uncle, for your help!"

Su Xuan also cupped his hands solemnly in thanks.

Afterwards, Zhang Jiu held a banquet to entertain Su Xuan and his party.

During the banquet, Su Xuan chatted quite a bit with Zhang Liao and Zhang Jiu.

Both sides gained a further understanding of each other.

Zhang Jiu and his son appreciated and valued Su Xuan more and more.

After the banquet, Zhang Jiu even instructed Zhang Liao separately: "Wenyuan! This Su Xuan is not a simple character; he will definitely achieve great things in the future; you should interact with him more in the future;"

"Isn't he planning to stroll around Ma Yi for a while? You personally accompany him these few days and interact more."

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao also had the same intention and immediately bowed in agreement.

Zhang Jiu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder with a look of emotion, and said earnestly: "Our Nie family's ancestors had to hide their names and change to the Zhang surname because they stood on the wrong side, and it took several generations of effort to reach today's situation!"

"But we are still neither high nor low, and I don't see an opportunity to restore the glory of our ancestors;"

"Everything in the future depends on you!"

"I see this Su Lie as an opportunity; work hard!"

Zhang Jiu didn't want to put such a heavy burden on Zhang Liao so early.

But there was no other way; everything was for the sake of the family.

In this generation of the Zhang family, only Zhang Liao is the most outstanding; if he doesn't rely on him, who can he rely on?

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao nodded heavily: "I know! Father! I will definitely achieve your wish!"

He has confidence in his own talent and ability.

And he will also work harder to learn.

He firmly believes that he, Zhang Wenyuan, will never be weaker than anyone in his life.

On Su Xuan's side,

"Big brother, you seem very interested in that Zhang Liao? Could it be that he is also a great talent?"

Following Su Xuan into the guest room, Su Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
