Chapter 549 Chapter 540 Eight: Horse Market
Shunyang County is a lower county with a small population and not as prosperous as Tangling County.

But the lean camels are bigger than the horses, and the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and north are also wide enough.

Du Chuanfu inquired clearly with the innkeeper last night, knowing that the special livestock market in Shunyang County is in the north of the city.

Therefore, early in the morning, they packed their luggage and paid for the room and meals, and drove the carriage directly to the north of the city.

In this way, if you find a horse later, you can go directly to the north city gate, so you don't have to go back and waste time.

There were many people on the street in the morning, and it took nearly three quarters of an hour to drive the carriage unsteadily from the south of the city to the north of the city.

After inquiring about the location, we arrived at the cattle market all the way.

After leaving the carriage, they went to the market.

At this moment in the morning market, there are quite a lot of people in the market, and the smell of all kinds of feces is mixed together, which is really unpleasant.

Song Qiu held her breath, couldn't hold it anymore, let go, and took a sharp breath. Suddenly, the miscellaneous smell entered her nose forcefully, causing her to frown.

But the people in the market, who opened their mouths to yell, and talked with a smile, seemed to have lost their noses and couldn't smell.

It's been a long time here, and I don't smell it.

She had no choice but to take two more puffs, she got used to it and felt better now.

It's similar to the animal fair in Tanglin County, where there are piles of cows, donkeys, and mules.

There were several horse dealers, but looking at them one by one, none of the horses caught the eye.

The last horse dealer had a big brown horse that looked good, but when asked about the price, it was 28 taels, which was not a bargain at all.

Song Qiu also shook his head.

At this time, a man wearing a square scarf approached Du Chuanfu, and said with a smile, "I have seen some of you wandering around for several times. Is there anyone who wants to buy a horse?"

"This is also true. The horses sold here are all crooked melons and dates left over from the horse market in Yunshan County. Those Ula people come to the horse market once and have to rush back. The ones that cannot be sold are all sold at low prices. , It's very cheap, these horse dealers, they put up a few percent when they buy them, and they count as one if they are slaughtered!"

"Let me tell you, big brother, Shunyang County is not far from Yunshan County. If you really want to buy a good horse, why not go to the horse market in Yunshan County and buy it from the Wula people? The price is good and the horse is good!"

They happened to be going to Yunshan County, and it was by the way.

Song Qiu was a little moved when he heard the horse market, but he was just curious why this man was so enthusiastic.

She didn't talk to her, Du Chuanfu said calmly, "The horse market? My brother, I have never been to Yunshan County, and I have never heard of this horse market. Why don't you tell me about it?"

As soon as the man saw Du Chuanfu heard about it, he started talking, and he became even more excited, "You don't know? Because Yunshan County is not far from the Wula tribe, the Arima City that was opened is the head of the entire Qingyuan Prefecture!

You don't know the Ula tribe, do you?This tribe is best at raising horses, and they live by selling horses to us Han people for money!This horse market was opened by Mr. Liu Heliu, who was the magistrate of Yunshan County, when he was in office. The government's maintenance of order is absolutely guaranteed. Once the horse market opened, it was very lively!

There are only two times in a month, one on the first day of the new year and one on the fifteenth day. During these two days every month, the Wula people will drive a large number of adult horses to Yunshan County. At that time, they will be able to choose any kind of good horse!And the price is absolutely satisfactory to Mr. Bao, well, it's the first day of junior high school, why don't you go to Yunshan County! "

Du Chuanfu listened, and also looked interested, "Is there such a thing? Then this horse market can be entered casually, right?"

The man stroked his short beard and said: "Brother, this question is on the right point. Strictly speaking, this horse market is handled by the government. Naturally, not everyone can enter. In order to prevent unscrupulous people from entering the horse market The city is making trouble, so you have to have a slip issued by the government to enter."

"It's not easy to get this handbook. If it's not someone with a reputation or a horse dealer who specializes in horse business, it's rare for others." As he said, he winked at Du Chuanfu, touched his cuff and said, "I happen to have a lot of them here." Brother, do you want it?"

Since it is a horse market specially opened by the government, it was originally for the benefit of the people. I think Master Liu thought so when he facilitated this horse market.

But after the change of office, one term after another of the county magistrates came and went, and the horse market probably changed.

Only people with status and horse dealers are allowed to enter. If ordinary people or ordinary merchants want to buy horses, they still have to buy them from horse dealers.

The government opened the door, coming and going, and probably got a lot of benefits.

Throughout the ages, which line of business cannot find unspoken rules.

Song Qiu listened, curled his lips, looked at the man, thinking that it would be useless for him to talk about these things so hard.

Du Chuanfu then heard Du Chuanfu ask, "Do you have this elder brother? How can I take you for nothing?"

The man smiled and said: "Hey, it's not easy for me to get this slip, but seeing how kind my brother is, I'm willing to give you one at a low price, only ten taels of silver."

As he spoke, he was afraid that the other party would not like it, so he said tightly: "Ten taels of silver is not a loss. You have never been to the horse market, so you don't know how cheap the horses are there. There are many Ula people who don't speak Chinese, and the horses are there. It’s not uncommon, ordinary horses can be bought for a few taels of silver, but here, the horse dealers cost more than a dozen or 20 taels!”

"So, these ten taels of silver a piece of hand, in exchange for you to go to the horse market to buy horses at a low price, it is not a loss."

Isn't this the scalper?

Song Qiu listened, and couldn't help but interjected, "Uncle, you can buy as many horses as you want with this note in it?"

The man laughed dryly, "Of course not, wouldn't that be messy? One hand can bring in as many people as you want, but it can only bring out one horse."

"If you want to buy two more horses, it's easy, just bring two more hand slips! How about this, I see you are kind, how many horses do you want to buy? I still have three hand slips, I will give them to you together, I will suffer a bit , only 25 taels, what do you think?"

Song Qiu is convinced that this is the scalper!
Left and right, they are also going to Yunshan County, to find out for themselves what it is like, if they really listen to scalpers, they will definitely be slaughtered.

She hurriedly gave Du Chuanfu a wink.

Du Chuanfu politely rejected the man, and Meng Chaoqun and Meng Chaoqun went out of the market to protect Song Qiu'a Ling.

The man saw that he spent a long time drooling, but the other party didn't take the bait, wasting his throat in vain, so he spat to the side.

A horse dealer who was sitting idle in the back laughed at him mercilessly, "Do you think everyone is a fool? I don't think this business can be fooled by you. I just see you wasting your efforts in vain. Sure enough. Bar?"

The man gave him a blank look, but he wasn't annoyed. He sat down next to him, shook his head and said, "I've been in this business for half a year. If it's spread out evenly, I can kill one a month, which is enough for me." After eating and drinking, the happiness of one person eating enough and the whole family not hungry, you, a woman who gave birth to five children for you, can't experience it!"
