Chapter 160: Wang's Gentleman
The owner of the horse was a Turk.
The Tang Dynasty is a very inclusive dynasty, and all kinds of people can be seen in Chang'an City. Don't say that the Turks have been wiped out now, even when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were at war, Chang'an's West Market has never broken off the Hu merchants. Moreover, the Turks have always been good at raising horses, so it is not surprising that the owner of this horse is a Turk.
But Li Mu had to spend a thousand yuan to buy a horse when he opened his mouth, which was a big surprise. He ran from far and near, and there was a loudspeaker near the third-step platform, and as he approached, the sound became louder and louder, and now no one had to listen, and people inside and outside the racecourse heard it.
When the audience who was about to leave heard this, they were not in a hurry to leave, they all stopped and watched. And the people waiting outside the racecourse to pay the prize money also craned their necks and waited, wondering what was going on.
Cheng Qian, who was counting copper coins with the three horse owners, visited Li Mu twice yesterday and the day before yesterday to learn how to explain, and he recognized Li Mu. As the shopkeeper, he also knows some details, and knows that Li Mu has a part in the horse farm, but he doesn't know how much. Seeing Li Mu coming, Cheng Qian hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Master Hou, you want to buy a horse, the small one can share your worries ......" While talking, he squeezed his eyebrows, obviously wanting to tell Li Mu, Master Hou, your price is high.
But Li Mu didn't seem to understand, raised his hand and touched the 'Iron Mountain', glanced at the horse owner next to him, and said, "It's really a good horse!" This Hou is chasing the deer Hou Li Mu, and he fell in love with your horse, a thousand times, sell it or not? ”
The owner of the horse is stunned, a thousand times! Golden Horse or Silver Horse? Even if it is a once-in-a-century sweat and blood BMW in the Western Regions, it is only a thousand dollars, the owner of this horse is self-aware, although his iron mountain is good, but there is still a very big gap from the sweat and blood BMW, it is really not worth a thousand times. Even if he deceived the layman, he only dared to ask for eighty or one thousand without conscience, did he plan to buy a group?
Li Mu said impatiently: "What about you, a thousand times to buy your horse, do you sell it or not?" ”
The owner of the horse finally came to his senses, he was a horse dealer in the West Market, and the things in Chang'an City were naturally known, and then I heard Li Mu report to his family, in the past few days, who doesn't know the name of the deer marquis? Don't dare to slack off, although the money is good, but you also have to have a life to spend, if you let Zhuluhou feel deceived and come back to the door, I'm afraid I don't want to do business in Chang'an in this life.
After struggling a few times in his heart, the owner of the horse still had a good conscience, saluted Li Mu, bowed and said: "Tell the Hou of Zhulu, the villain's horse is loved by you, and of course it is okay to sell it to you." It's just that the villain wants to say something in front, although this horse is good, but it is definitely not worth a thousand dollars, if you really want to buy it, give a seventy ...... No, fifty strokes is sufficient. ”
"Fifty?" Li Mu laughed and said, "Fifty Guan, Ben Hou still wants to buy you?" Besides, what is the face of the horse bought by Fifty Guan to present to His Majesty? Fifty times to buy a horse, how Ben Hou used it to win the next Marseille for Ben Hou? Ben Hou is a kind person, if Ben Hou only spent 50 guan to buy your horse, and won 10,000 guan in the next race, then you will say that Ben Hou only gave you 50 guan, it is to rob you. Now Ben Hou will tell you the pros and cons, give you a thousand yuan, set up a note, you sell me to buy, how much I make with it in the future has nothing to do with you, so as not to trouble in the future! ”
When the horse owner heard Li Mu's words, he was suddenly a little stunned. He's not a fool either, so he's naturally a little bit clear. Li Mu's meaning has been clearly expressed, he wants to buy this horse in order to participate in the next competition, and the prize money of the competition is secondary, it seems that he wants to bet on the horse. There is no question of winning or losing, and although I don't know if the horse will win next time, as the first horse in this first race, there is a chance to win the championship next time. Even if you can't win the championship, maybe Zhuluhou just wants to press second or third?
Or maybe he didn't want to bet at all, but just wanted to buy it and dedicate it to the emperor? After all, this is the first horse race in Datang!
In this way, a thousand runs does not seem to be a lot...... There is no one who is not greedy, the horse owner is thinking like this at the moment, and an idea came to his mind, if he scrapes together some money and bets on his own next game, the profit will definitely be more than a thousand!
Thinking of this, the horse owner spoke: "Thank you for telling the deer marquis, let the little one be empowered." It's just that...... The villain said it directly, if it is as the Hou Zhulu said, this horse, a thousand villains can't be sold! ”
Li Mu didn't really plan to buy a horse, he just wanted to hype it up in this way. Hearing this, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, sighed, and said: "Alas, Ben Hou is still too loyal, it's just that, since you don't sell it, Ben Hou can't force it to buy, forget it." ”
After the show, Li Mu was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a voice interjected: "This son is out of 2,000 yuan, do you sell it?" ”
People inside and outside the racecourse are stupid, what? Two thousand, just, just buy a horse? Lose your marbles! Another madman has popped up!
If Li Mu's rhetoric just now barely supported everyone's acceptance that a horse can be worth a thousand yuan, the value of two thousand yuan is unconvincing.
A simple calculation assumes that this horse must be the first and can get a prize of 500 yuan. If you bet another 500 guan, it is a profit of 1,000 guan, which is easy to understand. However, this horse won the championship this time, will it win next time? You must know that even in the race just now, this horse was just narrowly defeated. What if it loses the next one? Or, do you really dare to play so big and bet 500 yuan on this horse to win?
Everyone knows that if you really bet like this, the loss side will be much bigger than the win side. Buying a horse for 1,000 is already a risk, and buying a horse for 2,000 is a steady loss and no profit!
Therefore, everyone believes that this son who suddenly appeared is either stupid or looking for fault!
Li Mu was more intuitive than these guessers, because he had already seen the person who spoke. The person in front of him looked like he was from a wealthy family, and he was very well-dressed. If he is a fool, Li Mu does not believe it. Therefore, this person can only come to find fault.
"In Xia Wangpu, I have seen the Marquis of Zhulu."
"Taiyuan Wang?"
Wang Pu nodded slightly.
In the stands, Wang Ou's smile gradually faded. And Wang Jue, who was next to Li Shimin, was so anxious that he was sweating. If nothing else, this Wang Pu is his younger brother and younger brother! The two brothers are thirty-seven years old, but Wang Jue's father is an old man, he has been doting on him since he was a child, known as Taiyuan Yiba, but he is the gentleman in the squirrel, Wang Ju in order to fight for him for a future, he was arrested in Chang'an two years ago, fortunately, although Wang Puren is a gentleman, but the Wang family is knowledgeable, and there are some talents under the influence, so he arranged in Guozijian and became a professor.
