Legend has it that horses in ancient times had wings and were called Pegasus. It can run on the ground, swim in the water, and fly in the sky is a very powerful animal, and later it made a royal horse in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace.

Tianma because of the favor of the Jade Emperor, gradually arrogant, often misbehaved, one day, Tianma out of the Heavenly Palace, straight to the East China Sea to break into the Dragon Palace. The turtle guarding the palace gate led the shrimp soldiers and crabs to block it together, and Pegasus became angry and kicked the turtle to death. When the matter was reported to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor ordered the wings of the heavenly horses to be cut off and pressed under the Kunlun Mountain, and they were not allowed to turn over for 300 years.

More than 200 years later, the ancestor of the human race, to pass through the Kunlun Mountain, the gods of the Tiangong Jade Horse Garden gave Tianma a letter, and told Tianma how to come out of the mountain, when the ancestor passed, Tianma shouted: Kind ancestor, come and save me, I am willing to go to the world with you to serve you for the rest of your life.

When Renzu heard this, he felt sympathy, so he cut down the peach tree on the top of the mountain according to Tianma's words, and only heard a loud noise, and Tianma jumped out from the bottom of Kunlun Mountain.

In order to thank the ancestors for saving their lives, Tianma came to the world with the ancestors and served the ancestors for the rest of his life. In peacetime, ploughing the land to pull carts, pack goods, work hard, in wartime, put on armor and saddles, occupy the battlefield, and live and die with the master, and repeatedly make meritorious contributions.

Since then, horses and people have become inseparable friends. When the Jade Emperor was ready to choose the twelve animal zodiac signs, the horse became one of the animals chosen by humans. The Jade Emperor also allowed the horse to become the zodiac because of his meritorious service and atonement for his sins, which helped people.

Stories are just stories, but they also highlight the importance of horses.

The thing that Liu Mingzhi had to deal with when he went to Yangzhou this time was the horse business run by the Liu family in Yangzhou.

The price of horses in the Great Dragon Dynasty is extremely expensive, it should be said that all dynasties are very expensive, an ordinary horse costs more than ten taels of silver, and a slightly better horse needs thirty or forty silver.

As for the war horse, it is expensive, fifty or sixty taels of silver is the usual price, and it is not easy for the Great Dragon Dynasty to ride a horse, first of all, you have to have money.

However, it was difficult for the people to earn that little money to support their families, and they could not even think of such a valuable thing as a horse.

Liu's horse farm is outside Yangzhou City, the horse farm has just come in from the northwest and Zhou horse farm with more than 1,000 fine horses, Liu's horses have always been in demand, there is no price in the market, and the businessmen who buy BMW every year are endless.

However, there was a big problem this year, the Liu family's BMW was unsalable, and more than a thousand fart BMWs were only sold a dozen.

More than 1,000 horses were nested in their hands, and the silver lost every day was hundreds of taels and hundreds of taels. Ma Biao, the shopkeeper of Yangzhou's horse farm business, had to write to the head of the family, Liu Zhi'an, for advice.

Ma Biao is sitting at home and frowning, the head of the family will put the Liu family's horse farm business into his own hands, this is a great thing, how many people can't ask for this kind of good thing, the first two years are really good, and they have also earned a lot of silver for the Liu family, but there is a problem this year.

"Master Ma, Master Ma, the young master is here."

The subordinate person's report made Ma Biao's expression even more ugly, what virtue does his young master have, and Ma Biao is not deaf, how can it be clear that it is not a joke to let a bullshit boy handle the business of the horse farm.

But Ma Biao didn't dare to delay, after all, he was his own young master, and of course he should go out to greet him, in case he hadn't seen him for so long, the young master had changed his temper.

The old man is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation, the horse business is an important source of income for the Liu family, and he must have a deep meaning in sending Liu Mingzhi here.

The deep meaning of bullshit, at all, Liu Zhi'an is angry and confused, after Liu Mingzhi left, Liu Zhi'an's intestines were green, and letting his son deal with the business of the horse farm didn't add to the chaos?

"Quick, go out and greet you."

Looking at the decent hinterland in front of him, Liu Mingzhi was not surprised, a good house can be better than his own house, that is a mansion.

"Ma Biao greets the young master, the young master has worked the boat."

"Uncle Ma, don't be polite, you are an elder, I don't need this etiquette as a junior."

When Ma Biao saw Liu Mingzhi's appearance, he couldn't help but nod secretly, the young master has also grown up and knows how to be considerate.

"Young master, let's go to the mansion to rest and rest."

"There's no need to rest, I'm not particularly tired, since the old man sent me to deal with the business of the horse farm, don't delay, go to Uncle Ma's place to entertain guests, let's talk and talk."

"Young Master, please." Ma Biao was confused when he saw that there was a black-faced man beside Liu Mingzhi, which one is this? The old man didn't say anything in the letter.

"Young master, this son?" Ma Biao has to be cautious, the business of horses must not be sloppy, otherwise this year's hard work will be in vain, more than 1,000 BMW hundreds of thousands of silver, even if the Liu family is the richest man in Jiangnan, the big business is also a big loss.

"Oh! Look at my brain, I forgot to introduce to Uncle Ma, this is my good brother Qi Shan, the son of the Jinling Thorn Shi family, not an outsider. ”

Qi Shan? Isn't the son of the Qi Assassin family called Qi Liang? Ma Biao was a little confused, but with Liu Mingzhi testifying, he naturally didn't dare to doubt it too much.

Liu Mingzhi sat in the first place: "Uncle Ma, let's talk about the situation." ”

Ma Biao did not delay, and told the Liu family's business situation in Yangzhou Horse Farm.

The Hong family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou, although it is not as good as the Jinling Liu family, but it is also regarded as a wealthy gentry in Yangzhou.

The business of the Liu family to run a horse farm and sell horses has been operating in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and it has been a smooth sail, and the Hong family has naturally been hot for a long time, and last year they came to Ma Biao to negotiate, hoping to be able to join the business of the horse farm, and are willing to take out 200,000 taels of silver to invest in the business of the Liujia horse farm.

Ma Biao naturally disagreed, there were no natural disasters in Liujia Racecourse, no man-made disasters had occurred, and there was sufficient financial resources and no need to supplement the loopholes of funds, how could he agree to allow others to meddle in their own business, once there were two voices in the business field, it was often easy to have troubles.

Therefore, Ma Biao did not report this matter to Liu Zhi'an, he understood Liu Zhi'an's temper, and he was most taboo that his business would be interfered with by others, so he refused the Hong family's request on the spot.

The face was refuted, the Hong family's face was naturally not good-looking, the most important thing was that the horse business was not successfully mixed in, and seeing the white silver flowing out, the Hong family was of course unwilling.

left a sentence for Ma Biao and left.

Nothing happened for more than half a year, and Ma Biao gradually forgot about the past.

Just when the horses were ready to be sold this year, the Hong family did not know that more than 2,000 horses were brought from there to be transported to Yangzhou for sale.

You must know that Huma is naturally more likable than the Central Plains horse, and Huma is stronger than the Central Plains horse in terms of endurance and physical strength. Huma is the first choice for the Great Dragon Dynasty to replenish war horses, but Huma is in short supply, and there is nowhere to buy it if you want to, and the grassland prohibits the sale of horses to the Great Dragon Dynasty.

Whenever there are Hu horses flowing into the Great Dragon Dynasty, the price of each horse is as high as one hundred taels of silver, and the supply of one horse is in short supply, but the batch of horses brought by the Hong family is only sold for 90 taels of silver per horse, although there are still some earnings, but with the various losses on the way to transport the horses, it is not cost-effective at all, and it can be said that it is thankless.

The Liu family's BMW, the most expensive horse, is only eighty taels of silver, but it is not as pleasing as this batch of horses.

Therefore, the BMW transported by Yangzhou carriage from Bingzhou Racecourse was unsalable this year, and the number of sales was pitiful.

Liu Mingzhi frowned and listened to Ma Biao.

"Hu Ma is cheap, does this Hong family want to squeeze my Liu family out of Yangzhou?"

"It's not, young master, you also know that Jiangnan is not suitable for raising horses, horses are in demand in Jiangnan, the lord has established such a big horse farm in Bingzhou, shepherded a few good horses, and every year a batch will be shipped to sell in Jiangnan, but this year it was calculated by the Hong family, more than a thousand good horses, and the feed they eat every day is a big loss, and I am worried to death."

"I'll go to Hong's house."
