Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Several people in the room chatted around the four mockingbirds. Ji Qingwan asked, "Husband, are you going to go to your parents-in-law's house today?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I want to go so that Hui Niang can meet her family."

Ji Qingwan said: "Then let's clean up and have a few words with my parents-in-law."

After that, a few people started to pack some dried fruits and brought some fresh fruits and vegetables. Zhao Zhen and others rode horses, while Ji Qingwan, Ji Xuan and Liu Huiniang took a carriage and went to their father Zhao Jin's place together.

After seeing the gift, Liu Huiniang took out the handkerchief she had prepared in advance and gave it to her mother-in-law, second mother and sister-in-law with both hands. What they gave to their father-in-law Zhao Jin and eldest brother Zhao Xiang was a jar of [Yimeng Mountain Wine] that the Liu family had buried for 30 years. There was also a little frog with a string on its foot that could jump. After serving tea again, Liu Huiniang sat down.

Li E first glared at Zhao Zhen, then took off a golden hairpin from her head, handed it to Liu Huiniang, and said: "After entering the Zhao family, we will be a family from now on."

Liu Huiniang smiled and agreed, and several people talked for a while. The second mother, Miao Ying, personally cooked the big fish brought by Zhao Zhen. The family was busy for half a night, and then Zhao Zhen and others left and went home.

On the second day, as soon as Zhao Zhen had breakfast, the concierge Su Dong came in and reported: "Master, Lu Sanlang heard that the master has returned and is waiting outside."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen got up and went to the front. Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian got up and went to the courtyard to practice martial arts. Ji Qingwan and Ji Xuan accompanied Liu Huiniang while teasing two pairs of birds and chatting.

Liu Huiniang is well-read and knowledgeable. Ji Qingwan and Ji Xuan have been exposed to different fantasy worlds in the inner city since they were young. They are familiar with biographies. They are also very knowledgeable. When the three of them talk to each other, it feels like they feel like old friends.

Not to mention the jokes among the female family members in the inner courtyard, Zhao Zhen only said that he met Lu Zhuocheng and asked: "Lu Sanlang, how did you know that I was back? I didn't see you working in the store yesterday."

Lu Zhuocheng smiled and said: "Zhao Erlang, you want to know how difficult it is for you to come back? Just look at the many more goods in the shops in front of you."

"Couldn't it be my wife who collected it?"

"Others must not be fools. Your wife only collects raw materials, so where do you get the finished product? Besides, these bone carvings of peonies, boxwood ornaments, and refreshing bamboo mats are all not from your fantasy world." , Lu Zhuocheng looked envious.

Zhao Zhen said: "Why, Sanlang, what do you have to take care of your brothers?"

After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng corrected himself and said, "Erlang, my dad has a group of good horses looking for buyers these days. Are you interested?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said happily: "Of course, my fantasy world is not peaceful either. Up to now, many of the horse troops in my hand are riding horses. It's no problem to go on the road, but I have to go to the battlefield. I won't wait. Charge, the horse will startle itself."

"I wonder how many war horses my uncle has?"

"More than four hundred horses, and most of them are mares. There are only forty or fifty geldings, and there are also more than ten stallions."

"What's the price?"

"Erlang, don't worry. This horse has been tested and can indeed be used in battle. However, most of these horses are five feet, three or four feet tall at the withers, and only eleven of them can reach five feet, six or seven feet. Most of the horses are six feet in length. about."

"Mongolian horse?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Lu Zhuocheng nodded: "If it weren't for the Mongolian horse, this horse would have been bought by someone long ago. Do you want it, Erlang?"

"No wonder the Mongolian horse is not as good as the local Bohai horse in terms of height and weight alone. This horse has good endurance and can withstand rough feeding. I wonder how much it costs?"

"The shopkeeper wants 30 guan per horse."

Zhao Zhen was a little confused. He was in the fantasy world and exchanged tea leaves. One stone of tea cost less than 20 strings. If he went to the north to exchange for it, he could exchange it for three or four horses. Because of the long distance and too many uncontrollable factors, it is unrealistic to sell on a large scale. Moreover, the road is not smooth. If you are not careful, the horse will not be sent back.

At present, these more than 400 Mongolian horses can be obtained by spending some money. It is hard to say which one is cost-effective.

The fantasy world is currently short of war horses. Although the current horses are short, they are capable of serving as light cavalry.

At the moment, Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. I can eat this horse. You also know that most of the horses in our country are hybrids. The Bohai horses are not considered good war horses. Fortunately, these Mongolian horses Most of the horses are mares, so I sent them to the fantasy world to see if I can improve the breed."

Zhao Zhen did not come forward and asked Lu Zhuocheng to make a trip and place an order for these Mongolian horses. Zhao Zhen didn't have room to keep it here, so he asked the shopkeeper who sold the horse to keep it for a few days. When he returned to the fantasy world, he asked him to drive the horse to Bailiu Village. All the fodder for these days will be borne by Zhao Zhen.

After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng said happily: "Brother, you take 1,000 guan, and I will place the order. The deal is done, and I must ask for a hundred guan as the middleman fee from my father. I will also ask about the price of the horse." , it’s always better to be cheaper.”

Zhao Zhen sent people to the backyard to get a thousand taels of silver notes, handed them to Lu Zhuocheng, and said with a smile: "Sanlang, you should also go to the market more often. If there are any good horses at the right price, buy them."

Lu Zhuocheng smiled bitterly and said: "There are not many horses on the market. If you want to buy a horse, you still have to buy it from a horse dealer. If Shopkeeper Zhai has any news, I will let you know."

With that said, Lu Zhuocheng took Zhao Zhen's banknote and got up and went to Guanya, Beishi.

Not to mention that Zhao Zhen returned to the backyard and chatted with Ji Qingwan and others, only that Lu Zhuocheng rode to Guanya and found Father Lu who was looking for a buyer.

Father Lu met Lu Zhuocheng and asked, "Sanlang, what are you doing here today?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Dad, Mongolian Marco has found a buyer?"

Father Lu shook his head in distress, "There are sporadic people who want to buy a riding horse, but Bayardan refuses. After all, these people want the best, and the remaining horses are even harder to sell."

"Dad, I have found a big customer. He can eat these more than 400 horses in one bite, but the price has to be waived. I want half of the commission."

"That classmate of yours who married the daughter of the Ji family, the one named Zhao Zhen?"

Lu Zhuocheng nodded.

"You will talk to Bayardan about the horse price later. As for the commission, after all, it has been registered with the government. I can only give you a figure of 41. No one can change this."

“Don’t Bayardan know that the filing commission is high?”

"It's his first time here. Although the commission will be high for filing, it's better than being cheated. You're young, don't always be too ambitious." Father Lu scolded angrily.

Lu Zhuocheng heard this and said, "Don't I want to save more money so that I can buy some family property and get married as soon as possible?"

After hearing this, Father Lu also laughed: "Your mother is asking people to ask around these days. Naturally, the family has prepared a share of the betrothal gift for you. You can keep the money for yourself, and you will have an easy life in the future."

With that said, Father Lu led Lu Zhuocheng to meet Bayardan at the livestock farm. After some introduction, Lu Zhuocheng said bluntly: "Shop manager Bayardan, there is a powerful man in this county who wants to buy it. Please ask me for the price?"

"You want them all?"

"I want it all."

After hearing this, Bayardan smiled and said: "I have a total of 431 war horses here, with 30 horses each. It costs 12,930 horses. At a discount, it's 12,500 horses. There can't be any less."

Seeing Bayardan's firmness, Lu Zhuocheng said: "Okay, just 12,500. However, these horses will need to be taken care of by Bayardan for another five or seven days in the past few days. I have a written document here, and I will do it with 1,000." Order, and the remaining 11,500 coins will be delivered within ten days. At that time, the shopkeeper will need to drive the horses to my brother's village outside the county. If it takes ten days, the shopkeeper will own the remaining 11,500 coins."

After hearing this, Bayardan said: "I still have enough fodder for half a month. I will give it to you within 10 days. If you have enough money to drive your horse, I will also give you the remaining fodder."

At that moment, Bayardan put away the receipt stamped with the monograms of Mr. Lu and Lu Zhuocheng and the 1,000 banknotes. A SOLD OUT sign was also hung at the entrance to the racecourse.

Father Lu and Lu Zhuocheng said goodbye to Bayardan and left the fence.

Lu Zhuocheng was about to say goodbye so that he could reply to Zhao Zhen. Father Lu said: "I made this order today, so there is no need to rush to do anything else. You haven't been home for seven or eight days. Come home with me today and have a few drinks to save your mother from talking about it. I There are other good things here, let me tell you about them and see if your classmate Zhao Zhen wants them."

Lu Zhuocheng heard this and went to Father Lu's house.
