Chapter 550 Chapter 540 Nine: Horse Market 2
Song Qiu and his party left the animal market without any hesitation, got into the carriage and headed for the gate of the city, planning to go directly to Yunshan County.

Squeeze again, and when we arrive at Yunshan County, we will look at buying horses again.

Meng Chaoqun and Ma Liang sat in the carriage, while Du Chuanfu and Song Qiu'aling sat in the carriage.

Song Qiu looked at Du Chuanfu and said, "Uncle Du, you also ran around in the former master's house, but have you heard of the horse market in Yunshan County?"

Du Chuanfu said: "I have heard that this horse market has been going on for more than [-] years now, and it was facilitated by Master Liu Heliu who was in Yunshan County back then.

The Nawula tribe is more than sixty miles west of Yunshan County and belongs to the jurisdiction of Yunshan County, so although they are not Han people, they are also the people of Yunshan County Magistrate.

The Wula people live by raising horses, and they don’t speak Chinese. It is said that they are often fooled by the Han people who sell horses and sell their horses for the lowest amount of money. When Master Liu came to work, he realized this. This horse market.

On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, people from the Ula tribe would drive horses to Yunshan County together, sell them for silver, and then happily buy some daily utensils and go home. At that time, it was considered to be prosperous for several years , but later Master Liu was promoted to Governor of Xiangzhou and was involved in a case of favoritism and fraud. After his family was confiscated and exiled, the horse market in Yunshan County gradually changed. "

"It's similar to what the man said just now, but there are differences. If you want to enter the horse market, you can't get in without a ticket. Those horse dealers gathered together, bribed the government, and gave the name of the advantage, and the government signed it. The money obtained by these handbooks is filled in private pockets, so not only horse dealers and people with reputation can get handbooks."

In other words, as long as you give money, you can sign a ticket to enter the horse market at the government.

The man just now was Zai Sheng, thinking that they didn't know, so he bought his handset.

It is estimated that a note will cost no more than ten taels, and the scalper will earn more than half of it if he switches hands.

Du Chuanfu paused for a moment, then continued: "I heard that the government not only makes profits here, but also seeks a higher level from the Wula people. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the horses sold at the horse market get money, [-]% If it is to be handed over to the government, this is not much more money than the money obtained by the horse dealers without this horse market, and you have to work hard to drive the horse all the way to Yunshan County."

"So in recent years, fewer Ula people are willing to come to the horse market, and almost all the horses that come to the horse market will be cut off by horse dealers. Even if ordinary people enter the horse market, it is difficult to buy suitable horses."

That's why he knew that the girl planned to buy two more horses in Shunyang County, but he didn't mention the horse market in Yunshan County first.

After hearing this, Song Qiu also understood what Du Chuanfu meant. The horse dealers were difficult to deal with, and the Yunshan County government had tacitly agreed with them. If you want to buy a horse, you still have to go to the trafficker.

It is not easy for ordinary people like them to buy a horse with a hand price.

Song Qiu thought about what Du Chuanfu said before the horse market, it was the horse dealers who went to the Ula tribe to buy horses by themselves, so he was silent and took out a hand-painted map.

"West of Yunshan County?"

In the business, there are also people who go this way.

There are many other teams!
Even the convoy of Tongfang Pharmacy almost all took this route.

Because after passing Yunshan County and heading west, this road leads to Suzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture, among other things, is rich in medicinal materials.

Many of the regular guests of her inn came and went on this road, so Song Qiu made it a point to remember.

She thought about it, and immediately decided not to go to the horse market in Yunshan County. When she arrived in Yunshan County, she didn't stay any longer, and went west to Gongcheng, and went all the way to Suzhou Mansion to have a look.

This is what Song Qiu thought. He passed through three towns that day, but before he could enter Yunshan County, he had to stay in a small town for one night.

That night, when the sky said it would change its face, it changed its face, and it rained heavily, and it didn't start pattering until dawn.

This delayed another morning, and after noon, when the sky cleared and the road was easier to walk, we continued to set off.

Huang Huangyouyou finally advanced to Yunshan County after dark, so he had to stay in Yunshan County for one night.

Lying on the bed in the inn, Song Qiu watched Ah Ling wrinkle his little face into a ball after eating a pack of sour apricots he bought in the city just now, and sighed faintly. Rag up.

A slap in the face.

What a waste of time.

Hearing her sigh, Ah Ling leaned over with Suan Xing in his arms, and said with a smile: "You and You are also in Yunshan County, why don't we go outside Nama City to see the excitement?"

Song Qiu reached out and took a sour apricot from her and put it into his mouth. Not surprisingly, it was so sour that his teeth fell down. She didn't bite it, but just sipped the sour taste in her mouth. After the sourness, it became sweet.

"Okay, I don't care about delaying the whole morning now."

Yunshan County is a large county, and it is also an upper county, so it is quite prosperous.

Today is the first day of the new year, and I heard that there is a temple fair in Yunshan Temple in the south of the city, and it is even more lively.

Early in the morning, the carriage of Song Qiu and his party was blocked on Jiangmen Street, and nothing could get through.

The opposite side is full of people rushing to Yunshan Temple to go to the temple fair. There are countless horse-drawn and mule-carts. There are also many people walking on both sides of the street, rubbing shoulders, which also affects the passage of cars and horses.

It took a full two quarters of an hour to relax, Song Qiu couldn't help but support his forehead, he knew that he would not be in a hurry yesterday, and stayed at an inn in the south of the city.

Hurrying quickly, they finally arrived at the west of the city where the horse market was located.

The horse market is located on the east ramp in the west of the city, and the location is remote and not in the right way.

When I came back for the first time, I stumbled and asked the way and finally saw the sign of the horse market.

Before they could find a place to stop, the sound of horseshoes kicking and trampling sounded from the rear. They swept through the yellow sand in the sky, rushed past the carriage, and even shook the ashes from the carriage.

The curtain of the car was swung open, and some dust flew in. Song Qiu covered his mouth and pressed the curtain firmly.

After a while, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Then I saw the group of young masters who were on the errand at the gate of the horse market just now, nodding and bowing, and swaggering into the horse market.

At one moment, the errand was flattering, but the next moment, when he saw Du Chuanfu and his party, he straightened his face, "Come to buy a horse? Do you have a handbook?"

Du Chuanfu shook his head, "No."

The errand immediately said: "You can't enter without a hand ticket. Buy it now, five liang of silver a piece, you have to buy as many horses as you want to buy. If you just go in for a stroll and are not sure about buying a horse, then Calculated by the head, one person enters with one hand."

"How many do you want?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, waiting to receive the money.

In this way, it seems that he is used to this kind of thing, and he is proficient in it.

Ah Ling couldn't help but said: "Those people just now didn't seem to have given any notes or money."

Hearing the errand, he immediately lowered his face, "Are you going to get in or not? Are you going to make trouble in the horse market?"

As soon as he said that, several government servants with knives behind him stared at Du Chuanfu and the others with unfriendly expressions, as if they would rush up and take them down as soon as they made a move.
