Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1285
Hearing Kang Xun's question, the barbarian He Miao showed a somewhat exaggerated expression on his face, glanced at the few young men who were walking towards here while looking around, pointed at Kang Xun and scolded with a smile: "Thank you!" You've been hanging around in this place for a long time, you can be regarded as a leader in the city, but you are so blind!"

When Kang Xun heard this, the smile on his face became more submissive, and he quickly said: "He Weng said that, but I am too ashamed. I am just a mere wanderer, and thanks to He Weng's care, I can gain a foothold in the city It's nothing more than trying to mess with food and clothing, but what kind of leader is he? How many eminent figures in the world can be as kind and friendly as He Weng, making people admire him!"

Having said that, he still took a serious look at the boys, making sure he hadn't seen them before, but one of the leading boys looked vaguely familiar, but it really made him think nothing of it.A few teenagers spoke Luo Sheng mixed with local accents, but people couldn't tell where they were from by their accents.

He Miao was quite satisfied with Kang Xun's respectful attitude. He raised his hand and patted Kang Xun's shoulder, which was much taller than him. Just when several teenagers were approaching, he pointed to one of them and said to Kang Xun: "You have been making a living here in Hedong for a long time. If you don't even know the young and strong under Xue Du's guard, it would be really rude. Fortunately, I have time to accompany you into the market today. If you offended Mr. Xue's family in a ignorant way, don't be here in the future." This is a deal."

Hearing what He Miao said, Kang Xun's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the young man in the middle for a few more times, and then suddenly realized, no wonder he saw that this young man looked familiar, and his eyebrows were indeed very similar to his father Xue Tao.

Xue's family was originally a wealthy man in Hedong, and Xue Tao was now appointed by General Xingtai as the guardian overseeing the affairs of the Hedong Army Mansion. As a powerful horse merchant in the horse market, Kang Xun was naturally familiar with Xue Tao.It's just that Xue Tao is self-restraining and cautious, and his contact with merchants like them is limited to official business. On the contrary, he doesn't know Xue Tao's son.

Xue Tao's son is named Xue Qiang. He is seventeen or eighteen years old. Apart from his appearance, he looks like his father.

He also did not have the arrogance of an ordinary young man because of his background and his family's status. Hearing what He Miao said, he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "It's really good to see you off."

Xue Qiang also knew that although his father Xue Tao was currently the town general in Hedong, he could be said to have a high position and authority.But the Hu man in front of him, He Miao, is not an ordinary idiot, but an old man of the General Xingtai's mansion, and was entrusted with the important task of supervising the horse administration of a county in Hedong. Even if his father dared not be rude in person, Xue Qiang naturally did not dare to neglect .

"Whether it's work or not, your father and I share the same county, so we are colleagues who go in and out of each other. It is also necessary to care about the juniors."

He Miao smiled and waved his hands, showing a carefree and open-minded look, then pointed to Kang Xun and said to Xue Qiang: "This Hu Er, Kang Xun, is a well-known horse owner in the city. There is no lack of horses, not ordinary profiteers who are perfunctory and deceived. There are too many tricks in the horse market, you young men are born and immature, if you choose at will, you will definitely be framed."

Xue Qiang hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks, and Kang Xun on the other side walked up in time, and said in a rather exaggerated tone: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Xue is Xue Shijun's beloved son, it's really rude! Xue Shijun is guarding the river east , We are also deeply respected and sheltered by the peddlers. The gentleman actually walked in here, and He Weng personally sent him off. I am not a greedy person, and I will immediately lead the gentleman into the stable. If you like it Animal power, just take it away."

Kang Xun said in his mouth, but he was troubled and lamented in his heart.He paired up with He Miao, and He Miao helped him introduce some young men from fashionable families. After selling the horses at a high price, the two shared the profits equally.

Moreover, He Miao can not only attract customers for him, if the other party finds out that there is something wrong afterwards and causes any trouble, because he is afraid of He Miao, he dare not speak up.Otherwise, Kang Xun would not dare to do too much of this kind of thing, even if he is a strong dragon passing through the border, it is not easy to offend those local tyrants too much.

When it comes to local tyrants, the Xue family is the biggest local tyrant in the Hedong region!

Other families in the east of the river, if they can get a corner of the land by the river, they can take advantage of the business to reap huge profits.The Xue family was originally from Fenyin, and the area of ​​hundreds of miles from Fenyin to Puban had been under the protection of the Xue family in previous years.

From this point, one can imagine the strength of Xue's hometown.All the villagers in Hedong can be said to be the only ones who follow the lead.Not to mention that Xue Tao is currently in charge of guarding the military mansions in Hedong, but General Shen has been cited as a general who is reused by Bishi.

While saluting, Kang Xun looked at He Miao with veiled eyes, thinking to himself, bro, are you joking?This is not a fat sheep, it is simply a beast!No matter how courageous he is, if he really offends the Xue family, the whole of Hedong may become a restricted area that he cannot set foot in in the future.

But He Miao gave him a calm look back, which meant business as usual.After Kang Xun heard the words, he couldn't help but slander again and again in his heart, and felt even more in a dilemma.

It is true that the Xue family is very strong, but this He Miao is not an ordinary person, not to mention the current job that directly supervises the Hedong Mazheng. There are relationships.Even when General Shen came to Hedong, He Miao was able to get up and answer a few words.

Kang Xun has been in business for many years, and he is also a flexible mind, so he thinks of more.Although He Miao is usually a little greedy for money, he is by no means ignorant of his interests. He is very shrewd and will never touch anything that shouldn't be done.He would not fail to understand the prosperity of the Xue family, but he personally sent Xue Qiang to the horse market. Apart from wanting to kill him, he was afraid that there were other meanings in it.

Not to mention that Kang Xun was still frowning there, Xue Qiang had already said with a smile: "I am just a white dog in my family, and I stayed in Heluo a lot before. The next time I returned to my hometown, I was accompanied by a good friend. When I learned that the horse market was booming, I came to visit it. It would be the best if I could visit a good horse. Kang Jun only needs a fair deal, and the rest is just chasing customers."

Kang Xun was a little surprised by Xue Qiang's kind attitude, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances, and felt that this young man showed a good upbringing both in appearance and character.It can be seen that the rumors that Shu Xuehaowu was vulgar are somewhat distorted.

But seeing He Miao who was still standing aside with squinted eyes and hands behind his back, Kang Xun inevitably felt heavy again.He bowed his head in thought, pondered for a while before making a decision, no matter what idea He Miao had in mind, since he came to him, he naturally had no reason to disappoint the other party.

Not to mention the joy of the two sides collaborating together in the past, just one point, Xue Jiaqiang is stronger, but it is only limited to the east of the river, and it is still deeply supported by Xingtai.But He Miao is different, he is an old man of the general's mansion, no one can say how many generals in Wang Shizhong have a close relationship with him, and the influence is not limited to one place.

If he disgusted He Miao because he was afraid of the Xue family, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold here in He Miao City, even if he turned to the side, he would inevitably be beaten.

Thinking of this, he showed a courteous smile again on his face, and said to Xue Qiang with a smile: "Mr. You returned satisfied, not only did you neglect your lord, but you also failed He Weng's expectations, and ruined your own reputation!"

While speaking, he led several people into the confines of his own racecourse.Speaking of which, the horse farm he rented also belonged to the Xue family's property, but right now he was in a hurry, so naturally he wouldn't talk about these topics.

He Miao was familiar with this place, and he was willing to condescend to send Xue Qiang here because he was looking at the property he was about to acquire. He would not follow him to the stinking place of the stables, so Kang Xun ordered his servants to lead him there. Sitting in the cool pavilion by the river.

The scale of Kang Xun's horse farm is very large, occupying a large grassland at the bend of the river. At the moment, there are people coming and going on the grassland, either buying horses, or the servants in the horse farm are letting the horses live.

"The racecourse here is really extraordinary, far superior to those in Henan!"

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the racecourse and the tall horses that can be seen everywhere, a young man who was walking with Xue Qiang sighed.

During the walk, Kang Xun also found out that these young people had extraordinary identities, presumably, the Xue family is now a Juwang family in Hedong, so it is not vulgar to be able to get close to Xue Qiang, the son of the family.

"My horses are mainly Hexi horses, which are much more handsome than Sai horses. Of course, the daily breeding is more complicated..."

Kang Xun proudly introduced his own racecourse, and commented on the advantages and disadvantages of some mainstream horse breeds by the way. The Saima has enough stamina, can bear weight, and is good at traveling, but not explosive enough, and is relatively short. As for the Hexi horse, it is tall and mighty. It is powerful and powerful, but it is not good at jumping over rough roads.

Kang Xun's main business was Hexi horses, and he was quite proud of being able to transport them from the far west to Hedong, which showed his strength and experience.

Of course, these are just rough divisions. Generally speaking, horse dealers who deal in horses, besides breeding and grooming horses, also choose the best breeds of horses to take advantage of various advantages. Hard money.

Kang Xun naturally opened his mouth for these basic knowledge of horses, but there were a few teenagers beside him showing an impatient look, and they opened their mouths and said, "The owner should take us to see the stables."

These free-range horses outside look tall, but they are not good horses.Real good horses will not be bred with ordinary horses. It seems that these young men often visit some horse farms, and their vision is extremely high.

Hearing the impatient tone of the teenagers, Kang Xun was not ashamed, but a slightly mysterious color suddenly appeared on his face, and he approached and whispered: "You guys seem to be very knowledgeable about horses. I don't know if you have ever heard of the name of the Hexi Dragon Colt?"

"Hexi Dragon Colt? There is such a fine breed in the owner's stable?"

Hearing what Kang Xun said, the faces of all the teenagers changed, including Xue Qiang, who also looked at Kang Xun in disbelief.

Seeing the reaction of several teenagers, Kang Xun couldn't help feeling that none of them were ordinary people, He Miao really brought him a lot of trouble this time.

The so-called Hexi Dragon Colt is an elegant name for a good Hexi horse. It is exceptionally handsome and has the advantages of many horse breeds. It can be said to be one of the few good breeds of Hexi horses. Even in Hexi, the number is absolutely rare. A small amount flowed out from the Xianbei Tuyuhun tribe entrenched in Xihai County, and the method of breeding and breeding was also strictly kept secret by Tuyuhun to prevent it from being leaked.

The name of this kind of divine horse was passed down to Zhongzhou, and it was after the king's master went to Long, and Yu Manzhi, the governor of Long You, was cleaning up the barbarians from all over Long, and accidentally found the trace, as if he had found a treasure, he had people take good care of him all the way and sent him to Heluo line table.Although it was also Guangsuo afterwards, Tuyuhun itself was nomadic and not a tribe with too strong a sphere of influence, but he gained very little.

Kang Xun also learned about it through hearsay because he was running the Hexi Road, but he had never seen the real Hexi Dragon Colt.In the entire Zhongzhou, probably only Luoyang Xingtai has a number of hundreds of horses, and its news has not been widely disseminated. When Kang Xun mentioned it, all the teenagers reacted fiercely, which shows that they are also well-informed.

"Several gentlemen think highly of me."

After Kang Xun heard the words, he waved his hand and denied it, not to mention that he didn't have such a horse at all, even if he did, he would try his best to present it to the general of Xingtai, so as to gain the most, and it would be a great loss for these anointed disciples to take a look at it .

When the teenagers heard this, they were all very disappointed, and then they talked about the rumors about the various gods and gods in Hexi, and they knew more details than Kang Xun.It is conceivable that they must have their relatives hold important positions in the platform, so they will come into contact with such small-scale rumors.

"Although I was not lucky enough to obtain a divine horse, I have been traveling to Longbian and Hexi all year round, and I occasionally got a few rare animals, which are suspected to be the remnants of the dragon horse..."

Hearing what Kang Xun said, the pupils of the teenagers became bright again, urging him to take a look.

Kang Xun didn't refuse any more, called his servants to whisper a few words, and then led the boys to the depths of the racecourse.As they gradually entered, the defense of the racecourse also became tighter, and there were many slaves walking around with sticks, looking vigilantly at the people passing by.

Even outside several well-defended stables, there were actually armored Wu Ben standing outside with weapons, and it was obvious at a glance that they must be Wang Shijing's warriors.Seeing that Kang Xun had the ability to ask Master Wang to come forward to protect him, the teenagers looked at him more solemnly.

When Kang Xun saw this, he also smiled reservedly. In fact, those soldiers of the king's division had nothing to do with him. It was the military leaders of the various ministries who put them in the racecourse to guard the horses they ordered, and took them away together after all the purchases were completed, but Kang Xun did not explain. Happy to remain mysterious.

Before approaching the deepest stable, there was already a loud and clear horse neighing. Hearing this sound, the excitement on the faces of the teenagers became more obvious.

Hearing the sound of the horse, with the blazing wind of martial arts under the command of Xingtai, there are many printed copies of ancient books such as the so-called "Bole Xiangma Jing". The family didn't bring much with them, so they dared to come directly to the racecourse full of mud and sand to choose horses.

Kang Xun has been running a horse farm all year round, and he is not afraid of customers who know how to look out for horses. In fact, the more such people think they have excellent vision, the more they are willing to buy horses with huge sums of money.Those who don't understand are not very interested in horses. Even if they come here, they just choose a few poor horses to use their animal power, but they won't make huge profits.

When he arrived at a stable in the middle, Kang Xun raised his hand to signal the servants to open the fence, and then said with a smile to the young men: "The gentlemen are all knowledgeable horses, so I won't be tired of talking about it, and I won't flatter myself, but instead induce everyone to judge. Choose."

Hearing what Kang Xun said, the teenagers inevitably gave him a higher opinion.Usually when they visited other racecourses, the owner wished he could put the reins into their hands without a word. Compared to this, the owner surnamed Kang was much calmer.

Several teenagers filed in, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the big horses in the stable.Liangzhou horses have tall skeletons and strong explosive power. This is a very distinctive feature, and the few horses in the stables are the essence.

"The coat color is not good..."

A young man rolled his eyes and frowned and said, and soon someone beside him laughed and said: "Get the essence and look at the thickness, look inside and look at the outside. You can tell a horse by looking at the fur!"

Standing outside the stable, Kang Xun heard the discussion coming from inside, turned his head to one side hastily, and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.Together with horses, broad and profound, with many special details, it is the experience and vision of the examiners.Kang Xun has been in the business of horses for so long, and sometimes he would go astray, and a few teenagers would try to find beautiful jade in the mud just by relying on a few horse scriptures, which is nothing short of fantasy.

The few teenagers didn't know how Kang Xun was thinking, they circled around the horses in the stable, some touched their heads and ears, some looked at their articulate teeth, some stroked their muscles, some counted their ribs, amazed from time to time, and occasionally groaned. Discuss a few words.Even Kang Xun sighed that he was inferior to that kind of concentration and profound posture.

The teenagers observed for half an hour, and after each selected one or two horses, they took them out of the stables and went for a trial run, and then they each chose one.One of the young men pretended to be mature, walked up to Kang Xun and frowned and said, "These horses can be called fine breeds, but what the owner said about the remnants of the dragon colt seems to be exaggerating..."

Kang Xun was overjoyed at this moment, and after hearing the words, he said hastily: "Yes, I also only think that the quality of these horses is better than usual, because I have doubts about it, let's just say, I'm really not sure. "

Xue Qiang stepped forward and said: "I have been bothering Mr. Kang for a long time, and we have selected these horses..."

Before Xue Qiang finished speaking, Kang Xun hurriedly asked for various high-quality riding gear. At the same time, even the horse slaves who took care of these horses said they would give them together. Those who are easy to take care of always take care of them before compromising.

He even made a statement and said: "What I said before is by no means a joke. Mr. Lang travels far away to return to his hometown, and even travels with his best friends. These horses will be counted as my congratulations on Mr. Lang returning to his hometown..."

Xue Qiang held an exquisite horsewhip in his hand, waved his hand and said: "Could it be that Mr. Kang is chasing away guests again? If I receive such a precious thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return home."

At this point, Kang Xun invited several people to look for He Miao.It was up to He Miao to decide how much to blackmail these people.

Finally, the transaction was completed, and the servants of the racecourse followed Xue Qiang and others to withdraw the money.Kang Xun looked at He Miao, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, with a look of hesitation on his face, especially when he thought of the few poor horses that were under the stables, under He Miao's suggestion, they would ask for a high price of more than 300 million yuan, which was so hot for Kang Xun Xun dare not accept it.

He Miao didn't have Kang Xun's uneasiness, watched Xue Qiang and others leave, and murmured, "The Xue family is really a wealthy family, a mere kid spends millions of dollars without changing his face!"

While talking, he looked at Kang Xun again, and said with a smile: "This time it will not be as usual, and you dare not keep too much if you want to give you, 20 yuan, it can be considered as a use of your racecourse."

Kang Xun felt even more bitter when he heard this, and said in his heart that I wish I could give you 20 yuan, and I just beg you not to cause me this kind of trouble again in the future!

But seeing He Miao's joyful face, Kang Xun couldn't help feeling that this old Hu had the guts to pull out the tiger's whiskers of the Xue family.

After pondering for a while, he said again: "It is my honor that Weng He can read me when there is something to do. I will follow Weng He's instructions on how much profit to share. It's just that I have a difficult matter recently, and I don't know if Weng He is willing to do it for me. May I give you some pointers?"

As he said that, he took advantage of He Miao's mood to talk about his idea of ​​ending the horse market and turning it into tea.

When He Miao heard this, his face suddenly became serious, he looked Kang Xun up and down, and then sighed: "If I hadn't known how old you are, Old Kang, I would really doubt whether you Xingtai Dazong’s portal is out!”
