Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard the other party say that, it would be best if she could sell the horses to the army at once.

She pretended to be a little hesitant and said: "Of course it would be great if you can sell them quickly, but I wonder if Lord Jun can make the decision and just buy all my horses?

Of course, I don't sell this horse, only the next eight horses.What's more, is it based on the market price in the military? "

The soldier guarding the city said: "You guys wait here, I will go up and make a report, and I will reply to you soon."

Qingyan nodded, pulled the donkey cart to the side, and waited there.

Fortunately, there are almost no people entering the city now, and they are not blocking the road here.

Qingyan and Xue Minghua looked at each other, but didn't say a word. The horse came from a wrong path, so as not to make too many mistakes.

That soldier went to the top of the city tower, presumably he went to ask his chief, because there were a lot of people going out of the city, there were carts coming and going, Qingyan couldn't listen to what they said, so she let Chouchou use Just pay attention to the spiritual consciousness, it's not good for them.

Chou Chou broadcasted the other party's conversation to her live: "The soldier went up and entered a room, and there were two generals in light armor inside, they should be the prison generals.

An older student said, "Hui'er, why are you up here, but what's going on down there?"

The soldier said, "Father, Second Uncle, it's a good thing. Didn't Second Uncle say that the higher-ups ordered you to be responsible for purchasing horses and other armaments?"A horse dealer happened to come down below.

I saw that those horses were all fat and strong, smooth and well-bred, and they were all top-class horses.

It's just that there are not many of them, only eight. The other party wanted to take them to the Luoma Market to sell them, so I stopped them.

I told her that it would be impossible to sell them all at once in the mules and horses market. The horses would lose weight after a long time, and they would definitely not be able to sell for a price. Even if she was persuaded to sell them to the army, it seemed that she agreed.

It’s just that I need to ask about the price. I don’t know how much the price is given above. I can go back to the other party, or the second uncle will go down and talk to her in person.

The younger general stood up and poked his head out to have a look, and then said to the soldier: Yes, yes, the horse is indeed good, it seems that they are all in the right age, and they are all good horses.

In this way, I will not go down, anyway, just these few horses, you go to negotiate with him, say to give him a tael of silver at the market price, see if the other party sells it, if you want to sell it, buy them all, and the second uncle will also Give you benefits.

After speaking, I gave him two bank notes, one for 100 taels. It seems that we will get more than 100 taels anyway.

The older man also spoke up, and said: It seems that the higher-ups have allocated a lot of money this time. Second brother, although there are only eight horses this time, this batch is very good, and it can also let the higher-ups see what you are doing. Ability, will be more important to you in the future.

The second brother who was talking about laughed, ah, the soldier has come down, you are going to collect the money. "

After listening to Chou Chou's report, Qingyan thought, it seems that the higher up allocated a lot of money to them, it must be higher than the market price.

If you think about it, horses are not produced here, and war horses are no more than ordinary horses for pulling carts. There are requirements, and they can only be obtained from far away.

If someone has the ability to make money, that is his ability, and Qingyan is not jealous, as long as the price can be sold within her expectation.

She really didn't have time to go to the Luoma Market to waste it. She had thought about it before, if she couldn't do it, she would sell it at a lower price to the horse dealers in the Luoma Market. As long as she could sell it all at once, it would save trouble.

The money I get can be used to buy more things in this city, such as some souvenirs, and bring them back to my parents.

The things in Xingtang Mansion must be more complete than the things in Hancheng, after all, this city looks much bigger than that.

She didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. Not only did she buy it all at once, but it was worth more than the market price. She was already very content.

Who told people to buy it for the public, and it can be reimbursed.

Similar to later generations, purchasing and reimbursement is a matter of an invoice.

She remembered that her father said that this kind of thing happened in their company before.

Once my father checked the accounts and found that on the invoice reported by the person who went to buy office supplies, a pencil was reported for two yuan, not to mention other things.

This sounds like a small amount of money, but the problem is that the finance side reported it back. What does this mean?Complicity!
This made my father so angry that they were all from institutions of higher learning. Obviously, there was a share in it, otherwise all fools would know that a pencil that sells for a dime now is because of the best quality. It will not exceed fifty cents, and the reimbursement will be two yuan. What is the situation?
But this kind of situation is not only in some companies, but also in many public companies. If you don't find out by yourself, you can't prevent it. Even if you use your own relatives, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

As long as the finance and cashiers are a little bit tricky, they can make a lot of mistakes. They can only check the accounts frequently, and it is impossible to prevent them.

It's just that I didn't expect that this kind of thing was passed down from the ancestors, and it happened to her even in this ancient time.

But fortunately, at least looking at it now, she is also the one who benefits, so there is nothing to say.

Sure enough, the soldier ran down after a while, and said with a smile to Qingyan: "I asked the Shangguan, what the Shangguan said was that the current market price of a horse is 15 taels of silver, and I think your horse is in its prime. You will add one tael for each horse, which is 16 taels. We don’t want to change the harness into silver for you. A new pair of harness is seven taels, but your old ones will be depreciated to five taels. What do you think? Sample?"

When Qingyan heard it, there was a windfall!

She thought about giving away the saddle for nothing, but she didn't expect that people would also give money, which is great!
Immediately nodded and said: "No problem, just do as you said!"

When she went to the mule and horse market in Hancheng to buy a donkey before, she also asked the price. At that time, she thought that if the price of a horse and a donkey were similar, then she must buy a horse, so she knew that the price of a horse was indeed 15 taels, which is more than [-] taels. Donkeys are twice as expensive, so we choose small donkeys.

It seemed that the other party was quite honest, and also raised her price according to what his second uncle said, so Qingyan readily agreed.

The other party directly took out the banknotes, Qingyan was not surprised, she had heard his conversation on the board just now, and she did the math in her head, 16 taels plus five taels is 21 taels, eight horses times 21 is a total of 160 Eight taels.

She took the bank note from the other party and gave it back to the other party directly for 32 taels. Of course, the silver was what she wanted from Chou Chou, and she used the money collected from those people.

When the other party saw that she calculated the price so quickly, and she was carrying some small pieces of silver, she believed even more that they were selling horses, at least they must be in business.

Otherwise, how could it be figured out so quickly? You have to make up your mind. If you figure it out directly, your arithmetic ability is strong enough.

He took 32 taels of silver from Qingyan, and put it directly into his arms. His second uncle said before that his benefits were indispensable. In fact, he understood the meaning when he gave him the bank note, and the rest is his. .

If he wants to get more, he can actually negotiate further. However, firstly, he is not that kind of person, and secondly, in front of such a pretty girl like Qingyan, he still needs to have some face Yes, it's not good to compete with the little beauty for those three melons and two dates.

Another one is that he is also planning to see if there is another chance. After all, his second uncle wants more than this. If the other party has connections, he can get more. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

So he said to Qingyan: "If the girl still has horses at home, you can come here to find me. If I am not here, you can also go directly to the prison general. He also knows about it."

Qingyan understood the other party's meaning, there will definitely be no next time next time, but needless to say, she nodded with a smile, said hello to him, and then led the horse and the donkey cart into the city .

After entering the city, I walked forward for a while according to the light at the city gate. After I was far away from the city gate, the road was not bright.

Qingyan pretended to take out a torch from the basket at the back. This was the torch they made when they were in the wilderness, and Chouchou put two into the space.

Light it with a flint, hold it in your hand for lighting, and walk forward for a while.

Like Hancheng, the distance from the city gate to the inner city in this section is not long, only 300 meters, and there are no people.

This is to meet the enemy's siege or some emergency situation, this is the place where the soldiers gather to fight.

If there are many people's houses or shops here, it will be more troublesome. It is not convenient for the soldiers to use it, and it is easy to hide some enemy spies and spies to cooperate inside and outside.

Leave this empty, you can better prevent these.

Because of the delay for a while, there were no more people going out from the city.

It should be almost nine o'clock in the evening now, and the shops are probably closed, and I don't know if there is any inn to stay in.

Qingyan stopped the donkey cart and said to Xue Minghua: "Sister Minghua, shall we go directly to your house or find an inn to settle down first?"

Xue Minghua thought for a while and said: "Because it's not very late, let's go home first, if... If the family doesn't want us to go back, it's not too late to find an inn to stay in, the inn is only open when it's closed. It will be closed."

She was thinking that if she was found in broad daylight, the family would not want to recognize her, and if the neighbors saw her, it would be bad for the family's reputation.

If she goes back at night, no matter what, whether her family accepts it or not, she doesn't have to worry about being seen by others. Even if she sees it, others don't know what happened. This is to save the last face for both parties.

Qingyan nodded and asked Fulai to hold the torch. She tied the horse to the side of the cart again, sat on the shaft and took the torch before asking Xue Minghua, "Then do you remember the way home? How do we go?"

Xue Minghua nodded, "There hasn't been much change in this city. If my family hadn't moved out, it should still be where it was. We came in from the north gate. We entered the inner city after a while. When we saw the intersection, turn right and go It's the end."

Qingyan nodded, patted the donkey's buttocks, and let the donkey cart move forward again, thinking in her heart, the Xue family is really easy to find, on the west side, it should be the West Street of Xingtang Mansion.

After that, the car was very quiet, and the two children should have felt their mother's uneasiness. Although they looked at the scene in the city curiously, they didn't chatter like before, but sat quietly beside Qingyan.

Qingyan was holding a torch in one hand, there was nothing she could do, it didn't look like a lantern could be hung in front, and the carport was made of a mat, so there was no way to insert a torch, as she was afraid that the carport would be set on fire if she didn't pay attention. It can only be held by hand.

To tell you the truth, the light of this torch flickered and flickered when the wind came. It was really hard to see clearly, far worse than a flashlight.

The flashlight focused its light forward, but the torch's light was scattered, and could not reach far ahead, and the donkey cart couldn't get up to speed. After walking for more than half an hour, it came to Xue Minghua's address. that crossroads.

This intersection looks a bit like that of Hancheng. I don’t know if the cities of this era were built the same way. Anyway, this one is quite similar to Hancheng.

After walking to the west for a while, I passed the gate of the Yamen, and then there was a long wall. It was either an official residence or a wealthy family.

However, this street is much longer than that in Hancheng, because there are no pedestrians on the road, and the front is very flat.Even if someone could see it in time, Qingyan made the donkey cart speed up, and it took another half an hour to reach the last house in the west.

It was also after passing the long fence that she reached the main entrance, but Xue Minghua didn't let her stop at the main entrance, but continued to walk until she reached the westernmost point, and found that there was a side entrance there, so she asked Qingyan to stop the car , and helped her out of the car.

When she just arrived at the main entrance, Qingyan took a special look at the plaque on the door, and saw that the word Xue Fu was written on it, so she felt relieved.

It seems that it has not been moved away. If the plaque is changed to another surname, then it is hard to say and I really have to make another plan.

After all, more than ten years have passed, and a generation may have changed. It is also possible that the Xue family moved to another city.

Xue Minghua got out of the car, walked to the door with a cane, and knocked on the copper ring on the door.

Apparently there are porters guarding the door, and a voice asking inside soon heard: "Who is it? You're here so late?"

Xue Minghua replied: "I'm looking for Steward Yang in the house, can you pass it on to me?"

Hearing this, the other party quickly opened the door and saw two women and two children outside the door. He looked puzzled at first, and then asked, "Are you looking for something to do with Manager Yang? At this hour, Manager Yang should I have already rested, if there is no urgent matter, why not come back tomorrow."

It's Haishi now, and if it's something unimportant, he doesn't want to go and wake up the manager, it will be bad if he fails.
