The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1335 News from the Horse Dealer

"He really suffered like this at the beginning, probably he didn't want his child to grow up to be a playboy."

Wanwan, who had heard the whole story, understood at this moment why Zhao Xu was so strict with his child. It turned out to be because of this.

"I know what you mean, but the two brothers are still a child, you can't treat the two of them like this, this is his son, why does he think that Zhong'er and the others have already started to associate with tigers and leopards when they were so old, I Look at him, this is bullshit."

Gao Guiying still didn't calm down, but directly pointed the finger at Zhao Xu. He felt that Zhao Xu was a little too harsh, and most of the time his speech was a bit confusing and immature at all.

How can Wanwan explain this to her? She can't always say that Zhao Xu is a person from later generations. Zhao Xu was an orphan since he was a child, and what Zhao Xu said is true, but how should these words be said? Export too!

"Gui Ying, you don't know that he is in a bad mood recently, especially the death of Sister Meng, which hit him too hard. They wanted a child at the beginning, but now that Sister Meng is dead, of course he is not feeling well. Seeing Zhonger and the others, he probably had something in his mind."

Wanwan felt bad from Zhao Xu's heart, and Zhao Xu and Zhao Mengru were neither male nor female, so they probably thought of this, so they were in a bad mood.

"Besides, the two of their brothers will be the princes of the Song Dynasty in the future. They are strict with them, and they are good to them. Otherwise, how can they take on great responsibilities in the future? It is also for their good. Don't be angry. You are really serious about some things. I don't know, so you still don't understand Zhao Xu enough."

While comforting Gao Guiying, Wanwan said that Gao Guiying and the others didn't understand Zhao Xu at all. In fact, sometimes Wanwan didn't know exactly what kind of person Zhao Xu was.

Where is Zhao Xu at this time? He left the palace alone, changed into casual clothes, and came to the market. He really didn't know why he was so angry today.

Zhao Xu came to the horse market without knowing it. It was quite noisy here. Song Dynasty still encourages free trade among the people. There are a lot of horses being traded here, especially some horses smuggled from other places.

Now that I've come here, let's go in and have a look. The reason why the folks raise and sell horses is that one day when the imperial court wants to use military horses, the folks can quickly get the horses they need.

This can be regarded as a policy of the imperial court, but Zhao Xu couldn't think of how to mix everything up completely at this time.

"Why is this horse so expensive? The price is twice as high as before. You are making black-hearted money. We have been dealing with each other for so long, and you are still like this. How can you do business together in the future!"

"There is no way that now the control of horses in Khitan is relatively strict, and the roads are not safe, so the price will naturally go up. Do you think we are going to raise the price? Once the price goes up, my business will not be easy. , Besides, we are acquaintances, we have been in business for so long, you think I think so."

"You said you didn't want to, but with the money that usually buys two horses, you can only buy one at this time. There must be a reason for that."

Zhao Xu could see that one of these two people was a horse dealer, and the other specialized in doing business with horse dealers. The two people were now arguing because they had a dispute over the price.

People who do business are like this, they must pay every penny, there is no way, who made them the ones who eat this bowl of rice.

"Old Cousin Ma can't help it. It's not the first time you and my younger brother have met. You know how the younger brother is, but I also encountered difficulties. I really have no choice. Otherwise, the younger brother wouldn't ask for such a thing." many."

"Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't believe you, but your price is indeed a bit outrageous. How will this guy give it to you? The Khitan horses you sold in the past are not like this."

One of these two people was named Ma and the other Zhou, and they had known each other for not a day or two, otherwise they wouldn't have talked like this.

"Hey, you don't know that Khitan is very strict with the border management now, especially for horses, they don't let them out at all. I have worked hard to get these two horses. If you don't want them, I will give them to others." Alas, business is difficult these days." The horse dealer surnamed Zhou shook his head and said helplessly.

Zhao Xu, who was about to leave, stopped at this moment. Khitan has strict border control. What's going on? Could something have happened to Khitan? Zhao Xu walked over immediately.

"Boss, this horse is good. I bought it. By the way, you just said that Khitan has strict border management. What's going on?" Zhao Xu praised the horse for being good, and he was willing to buy it. I also asked myself, is there anything wrong with this Khitan?

"This horse is not bad. If you want this official, I will give you a cheaper price. To tell you the truth, the current business is not easy to do. It is better for you to know the goods. Look at the fat and healthy horse. It is a thousand-mile horse."

The horse dealer surnamed Zhou did not return to Zhao Xu's words, but directly boasted about his horses. He was really a businessman, and he was still boasting about his horses at this time.

"Okay, this is your horse money. By the way, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now. I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to do business. You know that you have opportunities in this troubled world, don't you? "

I also want to take advantage of this time to start some small businesses. Only during times of war can there be louder voices. The horse dealer surnamed Zhou also understands it. After all, he also wants to take advantage of this time to make huge profits!
"This official, let me tell you, my exclusive inside information is that a major change has taken place in Khitan. I heard that the current emperor has changed, so martial law is imposed on the border. I spent a lot of money. I just got the news, but this is not our concern, by the way, I will send you to your mansion where is your mansion."

What Zhao Xu only cares about now is that Khitan seems to have changed the emperor. The news is true or not. He heard such news from a horse dealer, but the official did not get the news. How does this person know? This is a person You're bragging.

However, Zhao Xu didn't mean to look down on him at all, because Zhao Xu thought of a person, a horse dealer in the Western Han Dynasty, named Nie Yi, who almost brought the Xiongnu Shanyu into the encirclement because of his participation. But people have to admire his courage.

These horse dealers travel all over the world and sometimes they are very well informed. Zhao Xu decided to ask him carefully, and then sent someone to investigate. I have to say that this horse dealer accidentally sent an important message to Zhao Xu. Intelligence, that's the benefit of paying attention to detail.
