Regarding the opening of a mutual transaction in Jingkou, Sima Ke held three conditions for Fan Meeting.

The first condition is that Fan will sell him one thousand Arab war horses within one year, and he will pay at the price and will never take any advantage. In the future, no less than one thousand war horses will be allowed to negotiate the price, but the quantity must not be small.

Of course, the quality of the horse cannot be bad, and it must not be just a substitute.

Sima Ke knew deeply that the Northern Expedition was not as good as the Western Expedition, nor as the defense of the Jiangnan. Once you arrived in the Central Plains, you would have a flat horse. At that time, whether it was the Zhao army, Dai, Yan and even Liang Kingdom, they would be iron cavalry. The cavalry not only had outstanding maneuverability, but also had the ability to collide during field war fronts. If there were no cavalry, it would be too difficult to go north with infantry people.

Since cavalry is organized, war horses are the biggest shortage of supplies. In the south of the Yangtze River, most of them ride ox carts. Although there are reasons why ox carts are more stable than horse carts, the biggest reason is that there is a shortage of horses.

Arabian horses are undoubtedly the most suitable horses for war horses in the world. They are a kind of military horse with beautiful body, tall body, strong endurance and fast speed. They also have a very high IQ, sharp temperament and gentle temperament, easy to train, and have low requirements for breeding and management conditions. Like Mongolian horses, they can adapt to various harsh environments.

Compared with Mongolian horses, Arab war horses are obviously better war horses, and they have gained an advantage when competing for the Central Plains and even conquering the northern desert.

The second condition is to require Fan Hui to provide 100,000 kilograms of Chameng rice seeds within one year to be used as rice seeds produced in Jiangnan. Of course, Sima Ke also has to pay for these 100,000 kilograms of Chameng rice seeds, and it is not in vain.

Since the promotion of potato and sweet potato planting, the people have no longer liked to grow rice because the yield is too low. Even the tenants in the manors of those aristocratic families either raised their requirements or abandoned their old bosses and planted potatoes and sweet potatoes for a living, which has caused a major impact on the gentry.

More importantly, potatoes and sweet potatoes are ultimately not resistant to storage and cannot become military rations. Once the rice yield is small, it will be difficult to support the long-term Northern Expedition.

Although Chameng rice is not as good as the hybrid rice in later generations, it is also a rice seed with extremely high yields at this time.

The first advantage of Chameng rice is that it has a high yield, and the bad land can produce nearly 200 kilograms per mu, while the fertile land can produce about 250 kilograms per mu, which is equivalent to double the grain output. Moreover, Chameng rice is still ripe for two a year, which is equivalent to a four-double grain output.

Moreover, there are two characteristics of Chameng rice: one is “drought tolerance” and the other is strong adaptability and “born from the ground”. Although the south is relatively water compared to the north, its distribution throughout the year is not evenly distributed. Sometimes it has drought without rain for a long time, and sometimes it is very rainy, which brings great adverse conditions to the production of rice.

When the rain is abundant, as long as there is no flooding, the excess water can be diverted and stored through farmland water conservancy facilities. However, once a drought occurs and rivers and lakes are depleted, the rice will inevitably suffer a great blow.

The advantages of Chameng rice and drought tolerance are reflected in the fact that they can withstand drought for a period of time and can still produce some harvest after rain. Chameng rice can give farmers more sense of security.

Every time a drought occurs, many people will starve to death. Although the rice in Chameng will reduce yield due to drought, it will at least not have any grains. This is the foundation of life-saving.

Moreover, the strongly adaptable Chameng rice can grow in these places where it was not originally used to grow rice, which means that it expands the cultivated land that can produce rice, and thus greatly increases the yield of rice.

Although the introduction of potatoes and sweet potatoes greatly solved the problem of food rations, it is ultimately not resistant to storage, and rice is the staple food.

Once Chameng rice was introduced, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would probably enter the rich country of the Song Dynasty in advance. With financial resources and food support, it would be possible to ensure that the Northern Expedition was successful and permanently occupied, rather than being able to defeat or defend.

The third condition is that the merchant ships in Funan, who trade in Jingkou, must pay a half-percent business tax, that is, 20 taxes, as the management resources.

In exchange, Sima Ke will set up a special trade trade near the Jingkou original ferry, and send troops to maintain order, set up a special shipbuilding agency to manage transactions between the two parties, ensure fairness and justice, and avoid chaos.

Fan Hui had heard that Sima Ke had put forward three conditions, and thought that Sima Ke wanted the lion to speak loudly, and couldn't help but feel sank. However, after hearing Sima Ke's opinion, Fan Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

For the first condition, although it would be a bit difficult to have a thousand Arab war horses in a hurry, Sima Ke gave a year, and using Fan Hui's methods, it was basically a problem. After all, Sima Ke gave money and it was not in vain. As long as he had money, Fan Hui's business was full of things and was not afraid of not being able to get the goods.

The matter of rice and grain planting in Chameng City is a matter of little effort for Fan Hui. Instead, Fan Hui felt admiration for Sima Ke naturally.

It is obvious that the general and prince of the Great Jin Dynasty were really considering the people. In fact, Fan Hui often traveled to and from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was not that he knew that the rice yield of Chameng City was higher than that of the local rice seeds in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was easy to survive. However, merchants were born to pursue profits, and such a thing that was not beneficial was nothing to do with him.

As for the third condition, Fan Hui had long had psychological expectations about the issue of business tax. His expectations were 10%, and the maximum could not exceed 20%. Unexpectedly, Sima Ke only had half a century, which was already a surprise for him.

Next, Sima Ke called Li Yan again and asked him to take charge of the matter.

Although Li Yan was a little greedy for life and feared death, he had a strong internal affairs ability. He did everything he had to do in an orderly manner and was not bad at all. Therefore, Sima Ke attached great importance to him and wanted to hand it over to him with full responsibility.

The three of them were in the lobby of the General's Mansion and chatted for nearly two hours before they successfully concluded the discussion on the major issues of the establishment of a mutual transaction in Jingkou.

When Fan walked out of the General's Mansion, his steps seemed a little fluttering and a little arrogant, as if he saw a lot of money flying towards him.

After Sima Ke saw Fan away, he looked at the top-quality Arab war horse.

It's strange that the Arab war horse was originally tied to a pillar, and was extremely irritated and kept making violent neighs like thunder. When Sima Ke came over, it immediately became quiet, but it was just a sniff.

Sima Ke walked over and saw that the horse was indeed of high IQ. He gently touched its head without realizing it. The horse immediately rubbed his face with his body intimately, looking extremely intimate, and stunned everyone for a moment.

Sima Ke asked someone to take the saddle, and personally fixed the saddle to the horse's back, then patted its neck affectionately, and said with a smile: "Let's go out for a walk with Gu for a while, so that Gu can see what kind of divine horse you are, how about?"

Everyone was even more stunned when they heard Sima Ke talking to the horse.

Before everyone could react, the horse neighed three times, then slowly knelt in front of Sima Ke, signaling Sima Ke to get on the horse.

Sima Ke laughed, turned over and rode the war horse, and sat on it steadily.

After the horse waited for him to sit firmly, he carried him out of the mansion and walked out of the crowded place. After he arrived in the wild, he raised his four hooves and soared into the air, carrying Sima Ke away like the wind. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the cavalry guards who were following him.

In the wilderness, Sima Ke was like a cloud and fog, her clothes were flying, and her whole body seemed to float. Only the whistling wind could be heard in her ears, and the fields and hills in her sight were rapidly retreating backwards.

He experienced this feeling of extreme speed, far beyond the pleasure of racing in his previous life.

But this horse was a young horse after all. Sima Ke couldn't bear to make him too tired, so he ran for more than ten miles and gently pulled the reins of the horse. The best Arab war horse slowly stopped.

At dusk, one man and one horse walked back in the sunset, his whole body was filled with red light, like an immortal or a god.

The king of this Arabian horse also has a formal name called "Fanyu", which pays tribute to its predecessor with the word "Fu" of the same name, the Western Divine Horse Feiyu.

At the same time, "Feng Yu" is also one of the eight horses of the Zhou dynasty, and it is said that it travels to the Yue Fei Bird.
