Chapter Thirty-Nine: Picking Up a Treasure
"He?" the slave seller was a little surprised, because in addition to the sick girl, there were two more sturdy men, and he was mentally prepared for the other party to pick one of the two men away, after all, to buy slaves is to buy labor. www.biquge.info Who knew that Feng Shanyue didn't look at these two men, but named a little old man who was about to kneel on the very edge.
"Yes, I just want him, okay?"
"Okay! Of course it works!" The slave seller agreed repeatedly, for fear that Feng Shanyue would change his words, this little old man sold all the way and didn't sell it, and thought that he could only throw it away in the end.
Feng Shanyue paid the money, went to help the sick girl by herself, and asked Ah Bao to help the little old man, Ding Maoqiu and Nie Panshi had just bought blankets on their backs, and the group went to the exit.
When he arrived at the exit, the fox came up from afar and said with a smile: "Yo, Qiu Laoqi is very fast today!"
"Yes, the capital is not big, just buy some small things. Ding Maoqiu said with a smile, took out a few more shells from the money bag, and handed them to the fox eye, "Xie Cui Ye took care of it!"
The fox glanced at Mo Bei in his hand, and his smile became even brighter, "We still like businessmen like Qiu Laoqi the most." Good luck!"
Ding Maoqiu nodded, left the black market with Feng Shanyue and the others, and walked all the way back. The sick girl was very sick and couldn't support it after she had not gone far, but the old man, who looked thin and in good spirits, was okay.
"Bao, you can carry her! I'll help the old man!"
Ah Bao looked at the sick girl, a little hesitant, he instinctively refused to contact other women, but seeing Feng Shanyue's very difficult support, he couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a long time, Ah Bao still walked over, squatted down, and said angrily: "Come up!"
"Thank you...... Brother Xie!" The sick girl said this breathlessly, and fainted.
Feng Shanyue was about to step forward to see what was going on with this girl, but the little old man moved faster, he immediately rushed over, put his hand on the girl's pulse, and listened to her chest, the tension on his face was relieved, and then turned to Feng Shanyue and said, "It's okay, she's just too weak and unconscious, just give her something to eat." β
Feng Shanyue nodded, "Then let's walk a few steps quickly, and we will have something to eat when we get to the town." β
Everyone quickened their pace and rushed to the town, and when they arrived at the hotel where Ding Maoqiu lived, it was not yet dawn. Ding Maoqiu gave the shopkeeper some money, asked him to get up and cook on the fire, and then pulled Feng Shanyue outside the hotel.
"Miss Shanyue, I wanted to ask you all the way, why did you save these two slaves?"
He used "save" instead of "buy", Feng Shanyue smiled, "Uncle Ding really knows everything, I am indeed saving them." β
"Then the slaves, why are they the two of them? one is sick and the other is old and weak. β
"It's because of a sick person, an old and weak person, that I want to save it! Although the other few people are not in good condition, they are in good health and can still support it. If these two men had stayed in the hands of the slave seller for two more days, they would have died. β
Ding Maoqiu nodded, but there was still suspicion in his eyes, "It's not that simple, is it?"
Feng Shanyue smiled, "There is another reason, when I was checking on those slaves, I smelled a strong smell of horses on that old man's body, and then I looked at his hands, the tiger's mouth was covered with calluses, it seems that it should be caused by holding a whip or weapon for a long time." So I'm guessing that this man is either a marching man or a long-time horse dealer. Either way, it was useful for what I'm going to do next. β
"Miss Shanyue is the real discerning!" Ding Maoqiu exclaimed, "Even such subtleties are seen by you." It's just that I don't know what Miss Shanyue's plans are next, can you tell me?" Ding Maoqiu intuitively felt that Feng Shanyue was not a simple person, as a sensitive businessman, he felt that he should stand with Feng Shanyue, and there was only good for him.
Ding Maoqiu thought like this, who knew that Feng Shanyue was waiting for this sentence, she was still afraid that Ding Maoqiu would not be interested in her plan! Without the help of a business veteran like Ding Maoqiu, it would be difficult for her to draw the first stroke of her business blueprint, let alone be able to contact the royal family in the future and help the woman find the Seven Spirits. Because with her current status, she is not even qualified to talk to the county magistrate, let alone contact the royal family. Although the status of businessmen in this era is not high, but the pursuit of interests is the root of human inferiority, even LΓΌ Buwei can change from a businessman to the prime minister of Qin, so the idea of achieving his goals through the road of commerce is not unrealizable.
"I want to raise horses. β
"Raising horses?" Ding Maoqiu immediately shook his head, "It's impossible. I told you, the Fire Phoenix Nation has been trying to raise horses for many years, but it has never been successful. Why do you have to go down this dead end?"
Feng Shanyue smiled and said with confidence: "If you change someone, maybe it won't be a dead end." β
"What do you mean?"
"I know a little bit about livestock breeding. Although the Fire Phoenix Kingdom does not produce horses, it is not completely without horses, right?"
"Yes, but they are all used to pull carts or farm, and their legs and feet are short, but they have a lot of strength, but they can't run fast, so they can't be used as war horses. β
"Then what if I use the horses of Quchi Country or Mafang Country to cross with the horses of Fire Phoenix Country?"
"Hybridization?" Ding Maoqiu heard this word for the first time, "You mean to use the horses of the Mafang Kingdom to breed with the earth horses of the Fire Phoenix Country?"
Feng Shanyue knew that crossbreeding was a technique that could combine the strengths of two female parents, and if successful, it was entirely possible for the Fire Phoenix Kingdom to breed horses that were good at running and had great endurance.
"This ...... No one has ever done this, okay?" Ding Maoqiu was very skeptical, because everyone thought that the horses of Ma Fangguo and Quchi were good, so they were eager to mate with their best horses, hoping to give birth to better horse breeds.
"Okay!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, Ding Maoqiu and Feng Shanyue hurriedly turned around, it turned out to be the little old man who was bought.
The old man knelt down towards Feng Shanyue and Ding Maoqiu, kowtowed three times, and Feng Shanyue and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. The old man stood up and said, "Thank you two for saving your life! The little old man's surname is Feng, his name is Feng Baiquan, and the girl in it is my daughter, called Feng Yougu." β
"You're father and daughter, no wonder the girl fainted just now, you were so nervous. Feng Shanyue realized that she happened to save a father and daughter.
"Old Man Feng, what did you mean by saying okay just now?" Ding Maoqiu was more interested in the topic just now.
"I can help two benefactors breed horses!"
