Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 142 The Sick Horse
"I won't go back yet. I've booked a room at the inn for two days. I'll go to Fangshi to see the situation. How many escort agencies are there in He Song Town?"

"There's only one family. It's a family business. There's a chief escort named Wei. There are four or five disciples under him. They can only accept some ordinary business. They don't take long bids. The business is mediocre." Zhou Li said to He Song. The situation in the town is fairly familiar.

"Then is there a place in He Song Town that is responsible for delivering letters and items?" Gu Qi asked again.

"Mostly, acquaintances are sent to help deliver, and there are also walkers. In addition, there are also imperial post stations that can help send letters and silver taels.

However, if you go to the official station, the speed will be much slower.Ordinarily, it takes at least half a month to go to the post station for a letter that can be delivered within three to five days. Therefore, unless there is no one to send it to, ordinary people seldom go to the post station to deliver letters. "

The post delivery mode saves a lot of cost, and naturally the disadvantages will be obvious.

Gu Qi nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "In fact, the Escort Bureau can open a special window to accept small consignments and letters. The price is comparable to that of post stations, and the speed can be half faster than post stations."

Zhou Li was a little puzzled: "It can be done, but if it is compared with the price of the post station, there will be no profit."

No wonder Zhou Li was puzzled.The official post station, entrusted to deliver a letter, only accepts three to five cash for short distances, and no more than a hundred cash for long distances.If the consignment is not heavy, at most it will charge one or two cents.

The cycle is long and the operation is troublesome. It is really not a profitable business.

What's more, in Zhou Li's eyes, Gu Qi doesn't seem like a person who can satisfy his appetite by patiently doing small business and earning a little money.

"Although taking these small orders won't make you much money at the beginning, you may have to lose labor costs. But only after receiving these orders can our people touch the surrounding counties, counties, towns and villages of several transit points as quickly as possible. clear."

After all, Gu Qi looked at Zhou Li and smiled: "It's still an upright reason. Whether it's the Cao Gang or the Caravan, or even the pedestrians who noticed it, they can't say anything."

Zhou Li was stunned.After a while, his expression became solemn: "You are quite courageous."

Gu Qi lightly licked his parched lips, raised his brows and said: "Since ancient times, the bold have been supported to death, and the timid have been starved to death.

Now that you are ready to do business under the eyes of the water transportation caravan, it is better to prepare a few more hands from the beginning, it will always be useful. "

The expression on Zhou Li's face relaxed, and a smile slowly appeared: "I thought I was the one who pulled you into the thief's boat, but now that I think about it, I think I fell into your thief's den.

I'm afraid you have wanted to do these things a long time ago, otherwise why would you accept Liu Long's staff? "

Gu Qihun waved his hand nonchalantly: "They are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so what is the order?"

"Pfft!" Zhou Li sneered, "You're right."

After bidding farewell to Zhou Li, Gu Qi went straight to Fangshi.

Mashiguan is the busiest place in Shifangshi where people come and go. In addition to government officials and dental businesses, there are also people from caravans and traveling gangs.

However, maybe He Song Town is only a small place, and the caravan and pedestrian gangs stationed here are just some insignificant peripheral personnel.Gu Qi glanced at them, and knew that these people were not very skilled, and they were not much different from ordinary street gangsters.

"You barbarian, you brought a sick horse here, and you dare to sell it as a BMW? Are you thinking that we have no one in the horse market in Hesong Town?!"

Gu Qi casually watched and walked, when suddenly he heard a noise coming from the left side.

Hearing the sound and looking around, I saw a tall Fanren wearing Western clothes, wearing a multi-colored baotou, with three-dimensional and profound features, surrounded by several Dakang people with a panicked expression on his face
When Gu Qi walked over, he saw that fan talking intermittently in broken Dakang dialect.

Gu Qi couldn't hear clearly, and probably could only make out words such as, 'I didn't deceive people,' his 'horse is not sick'.

Soon the yamen servants and the management of the square city who were responsible for maintaining the order of the square city came over.

"What's the matter? Don't you know that you can't make trouble in Fangshi?" The yamen servant asked with a cross-knife, stepping between several people, frowning.

"Master, it's not that we want to make trouble, but that this barbarian dared to sell a sick horse in the horse market, and even claimed that it was a BMW from the Western Regions. Isn't this a lie?"

Among the surrounding crowd, a small young man came forward with a smile and talked about the cause and effect with the yamen servant.

The yamen servant frowned when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the Fanren and asked, "Where did you come from? When you came to He Song Town, did you bring the business documents?"

Fan Ren was obviously frightened by this posture, and his speech became more slurred under nervousness. Even after saying it several times, the yamen servant did not understand what he was saying.

The Fangshi manager who came with the yamen servant knew some Fanbang dialect, so he patted the fanman on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly.

The documents of the merchants, do you have to bring the documents for the city guards when you pass the customs? "

"Take it, take it!"

The fan stabilized his mood, touched his body randomly, and then took out a document and handed it to the yamen servant.

After the yamen servant checked the document to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, he asked again, "Why do you want to sell sick horses in Fangshi?"

"I'm not selling soldiers and horses!" Fanren ninja said angrily.

This sentence was very clear, but there were a few words followed by Ji Li Gu Lu, and no one around could understand a word.

The yamen servant felt a bit of a headache, so he turned his head and said to the Fangshi manager, "Go and ask him if he has someone with him. His official language is so bad, he must not have come to our He Song Town alone."

The Fangbang language of the Fangshi Management Committee was also very limited, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this.But at this moment, others can't help, so they can only bite the bullet and communicate with those people word by word.

The two chattered a few more words, and after a while, the manager of the square city breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the yamen servant: "This man came with the caravan, and the rest of the caravan are at the inn right now.

He said that his horse was not a sick horse, but that it was of this breed, called an Ahal horse.It is different from our Dakang horses. "

Hearing this, the yamen servant turned to look at the horse that Fanren was leading behind him.I saw that the horse had slender limbs, a slender head and a high neck. It was quite handsome and energetic, and there was nothing wrong with it.

As for the only problem, the horse's fur was silvery white, and it was so vivid under the light, it was very different from ordinary horses.

But these people also said that this is a horse from the Western Regions, and the breed is different from the horses of the Dakang Dynasty, so it is understandable that the coat color is a little strange.

Thinking about it this way, the yamen servant couldn't help but look at the other people who caused trouble and said, "Why do you say that he sells sick horses. Do you have evidence?
Furthermore, even if you can't tell whether these people are selling sick horses or not, you don't have to buy them, why stop them from making noise in the horse market? "
