Verse 98 Asking for silver and money
PS: Thanks to M8, it's 22 votes. I was confused. I got up late yesterday morning, I was late for work, and I wanted to take a break today.
#############################################
At the end of the market, there were still cattle in the market, and the two hurried all the way over.
Dog chestnut did not forget to complain to Li Hu, he took the initiative to give the price of eight hundred and eighty taels of silver, and it became only three hundred taels, otherwise, he would be a rich man, you must know that now the government pays heavy taxes, and the yield per mu cannot come up, and one mu of good land is at most a dozen taels of silver, which is eight or ten acres.
With so many silver taels, can a horse buy two?
However, he just muttered and muttered, that Liu Ergongzi seemed to be powerful and powerful, and he was cowardly in his heart, otherwise he would have volunteered to negotiate the price.
Before, Li Hu would not comfort him.
Today, Li Hu was willing to say more: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, and we have made propaganda for ourselves, and we have made friends with the second son of Liu." ”
Dog chestnut still wanted to say something, but was diluted by the next thing, he has always wanted to have a fast horse, thinking day and night, buy one today, whether it is Li Hu riding or riding himself, he can't hold back his excitement, and suddenly he doesn't mention the money, first said: "I heard that heroes and heroes go to buy horses, they can buy good horses, and some of them are sold cheaply, and they take away a raising, which is to chase the wind for thousands ......of miles."
Smelling the stench of cattle and looking around the market, he was kind, and said, "When I heard that the horse recognized people, I saw that it was a heroic man, and when I heard it, I raised my head to the sky and neighed." ”
Then, he was not at ease, and said, "We are late, alas, you said that you rushed to the market in the morning, and the horses that were not expensive and sold to the market, were they all taken away?" ”
Li Hu smiled.
Can a hero meet a BMW?
He didn't believe it.
He tasted the product, and felt that the dog chestnut was not all made up, and people who were born in martial arts, especially those who were familiar with horse warfare, had dealt with horses, and knew horses, so it was naturally easier to buy good horses than ordinary people. As for whether the market is a market or not, it doesn't matter much, this Jingkang doesn't produce good horses at all, and it's good to be able to get a good leg and foot ride...... I still want to drop it. If you really meet a good horse, you can't afford it.
The market is almost gone, and in fact the market will be the last to disperse. Large livestock is valuable, it is not easy to take out a trip, generally not the family is in a hurry to use money, ordinary people are not easy to sell, buyers pick up also meticulous, like a cow, not only the cattle frame cattle bones and teeth have to be measured, but also to see the people and livestock to the eye, look good, feel obedient, only to lead it. Therefore, the horses, cows, mules, and donkeys don't want to be brought back, and the ones who buy horses, cows, mules, and donkeys are also hesitant to choose...... Unless it is a slaughterhouse, it will start before dawn in the morning, and look at the meat to be made, otherwise, even the rich owner's family is afraid that the livestock will not be good, so they will pick it up again and again, and turn around the market again.
There are still a lot of people and cattle in the market, and everyone has them, and they are noisy, and if they don't pay attention to it, they are just a foot of dung.
As soon as the dog chestnut came in, it aimed at a thigh-length one, which looked bright and bright, regardless of whether he bought it in the end or not, which satisfied the psychology of the teenager riding a horse.
Li Hu was also walking around and glancing.
When they came down from their group, the dog chestnuts had two looks, one was blue, tall and big, standing out from the flock, but the owner did not cook much, and there were mud scales below the abdomen, and the other was jujube red, and the mane on the top of the head was bright and smooth, and it was majestic and majestic. With the heart of picking up cheap, the dog chestnut's feet unconsciously moved towards the big green horse, because it was not well cared for, the price could not go up, right?
Li Hu dragged him back and told, "Don't go up, it's a mule." ”
Dog Chestnut didn't believe it, and demanded with all his might: "You haven't seen it yet?" How do you know it's a mule? Go check it out, this one looks ......."
Li Hu didn't think about it and said: "Long ears and square face, it must be a mule, if you don't believe it, go and take a look." ”
Dog chestnut said to run, run.
After a while, he walked back with his head down, and when he saw Li Hu looking at other places, he couldn't help grinning: "Why does this mule look like this, I admit that I am wrong." ”
Li Hu was looking at the other horse that Dog Chestnut had taken a look at, but he didn't come forward at all, as if he was looking at each other for a moment, and his footsteps moved again.
The dog chestnut pulled him: "This is definitely not a mule." Surely not, you? Take a look. ”
Li Hu whispered: "This horse is sick and injured. ”
Dog Chestnut was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Can you see this?" ”
Li Hu nodded and said softly: "This is a horse in the army, and there is a poke on the buttocks, but it has been injured and scrapped." ”
Dog Chestnut asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Li Hu said lightly: "Shrink your waist from time to time." That's a pain. If we want to show our own horse, we can't buy a horse that hurts us. ”
Dog chestnut will be skeptical.
Li Hu walked all the way over, and the dog chestnut followed slowly, but found that he almost didn't stop.
Is this buying a horse to pick a horse?
Dog Chestnut thought to himself: I'm too anxious.
Just thinking about it, Li Hu stopped, this is a horse with very light teeth, I'm afraid only three or five years old, round buttocks, except that the ears are quite spiritual, people go all the way, its ears will hit it, it really looks ugly, and a horse's mane is thick, long, and chaotic.
Dog chestnut said in his heart: don't look at it, don't look at it.
Things do not turn out the way you want.
Li Hu stepped forward, he squeezed, and the horse immediately began to stir, roaring, the reins were tightened, and the wedged wooden pillar shook violently.
A dozing young man rubbed his eyes, tucked his whip, and helped him with a dogskin hat, and said, "Breed, where are your livestock?" ”
Li Hu was stunned and said: "Its teeth are so light, you specially use it for breeding?" ”
The young man said, "What should I do?" Ma Lie. I couldn't help it, and when I saw the mare and the donkey, I climbed. What do you do? I've been deceived. Go to the township where the Hu people live to sell grain, and change it for them, don't we understand, and the stallion and mare don't know each other, so they will be exchanged for two or five eyes, short and big buttocks, and irritable. Thinking about castration, at least plough a field, pull a cart or something, and the cattle who invited them were all drugged, but they were still kicked in the face...... I couldn't help it, I pulled it to the bazaar, pulled a few sets, and no one said it except for people asking if it was a match. ”
Li Hu asked, "How strong is it?" ”
Dog Chestnut stopped and said, "Li Hu." You wouldn't want to buy it for spirit, would you. Is it really a horse with heroes? ”
The young man sighed and wanted to go back to dozing off.
Li Hu demanded: "How strong is it, can you get close to it?" ”
The young man raised his voice and said, "I feed it every day." I don't come near it, it starves to death. None of them can be done by anyone else. Someone asked me to slaughter it, and when I think about it, I can't do anything about it. No one can bear it, so it recognizes me, but it does not listen to me. ”
Li Hu said: "Then I'll try." ”
He took the initiative to take the long whip down from the hand of the man that year, without saying a word, he put a whip into the air, the horse stood up, and suddenly struggled in the opposite direction, Li Hu slashed again, the whip exploded in the opposite direction, where the horse was startled, where he slashed, a full dozen whips, the horse shrank back and turned his head, and jumped on all four legs together...... But the people around him were so happy that they said, "Come and see this horse, and jump on all four legs." ”
The young man had a hunch that the young man in front of him might be able to control the horse, and run loudly while commanding, so that people could avoid it, so that the horse would stretch back and kick people.
Fifth, the whip goes down.
The horse began to grieve and retreat, and the anger that seemed to exist in his voice was gone.
Li Hu put away the whip and said softly, "It's not very strong...... Horses are free-range and untamed. ”
He said so sure, and stopped the young man on the spot.
The young man asked rhetorically: "Isn't this a martyr?" ”
Li Hu said: "The free-range stallions are like this. ”
He threw down his sleeves and stretched them out, which he had learned from his Abba, and since he learned it, he had enjoyed it. The young man also put down his sleeves, and the two of them discussed the price in their sleeves. The people around him were laughing mockingly, and the dog chestnut was anxious on the side...... This is Ma Lie's.
How to ride it.
When he heard someone laughing at him, "Buy a stallion to ride, this boy pretends to be the real thing," and he was so worried that he tried to get close to the horse, and the horse looked at him vigilantly, and he did not dare to take the reins at all.
Li Hu made a deal.
I didn't see how much money he gave, anyway, he was not afraid, he ran to the horse's face, touched the horse's face a few times, fished under the horse's neck, and the horse was also restless, so he relieved him, and there was an open space in the east of the market, which was trying to pull the livestock, and there was a railing, and there were two horsemen who tamed the cattle for others sitting on the railing...... Of course, they are worth a lot of money, and the animals of ordinary small families will not be asked to recuperate.
Seven or eight people watched the excitement, including its original owner, and they followed it together, and the dog chestnut walked behind Li Hu, and couldn't help but look back, and walked back, it depends on the joke.
However, he also has a little confidence in his heart, Li Hu is from Dongxia, Dongxia raises horses, and besides, he has given horses to others in the Baihe Market.
When they got to the railing field, a bearded horse master jumped down from the railing and greeted him...... One glance, he directly said, "I can't take this horse." This is a free-range horse. ”
Li Hu said: "I know. He motioned to the railing door, and the bearded horse master hesitated for a moment, then went over and tore the door open, and when he turned around, he reminded Li Hu: "Hou Sheng." I can tell you, this horse doesn't look high on the horse, and it seems that it is okay to throw it off, but if it does fall, it will have the strength of an animal. If it's not honest and steps on you twice, it's a ruined person. Li Hu "en" a sound, pulled the horse and went in, and when he entered, the people outside remembered that his horse had a bare belly, but there was no saddle.
I don't know if I should be reminded or not, Li Hu has already turned over.
How to tame a child, his father taught him very early.
Their family also has this tradition, and every year they go to their pasture, choose the strongest horses, and then show off their taming. According to his father, the family is a horse breeder, if the children dare not tame the horse, it is too embarrassing, and the younger children to tame it is temporarily dangerous, just stand by and watch, their bees are eager to try, go to fight the horse once a year. The horse in front of him, it has lost the grassland, the wolves, and the horses, where can it go?
Ride it and buckle your knees......
Outside, the dog chestnut was nervous, grabbed the railing, and shouted: "Li Hu." You be careful. I felt that I couldn't be tamed, so I hurried down. ”
It is inevitable that he will be nervous, if the two of them go out together, Li Hu will buy a horse and fall and be injured in Baojun, why will he go home.
The horse scurried slightly, but did not jump high.
Everyone already felt that it was the rhythm before the storm, and some were shouting unkindly: "Kick." Kicks. The horse, however, refused to do so, for it knew that it was ridden, and it wanted to jump, but after a while it had been jumping for a while, it had become a little numb, and the man's ride did not make it uncomfortable, so it only neighed and walked, but there was no thunder. The Clicker Tiger began to try to command it, and it was easy to understand the intentions, east, west, east, west, left, right, left, right, trot, and then run faster and faster, faster and faster.
People who have really tamed a large number of horses know that at this time, the horse, it can't understand, it relies on your body movements, you touch it to move.
This room it doesn't understand, when you don't understand, you have to find a way to make it understand, touch the neck, cover the eyes, pat the horse's buttocks, and pull the reins, all of which are used at this time, one is not good, it becomes irritable, and it begins to stumble, and there are a lot of skills in communicating with horses.
Several horse masters have begun to applaud, affirming that he is a good horse trainer, and even began to admire, because the horse, when there is no resistance at all, it can be said that he communicated with the horse, and there was no problem between him, and there was no control because of the problem, and there was resistance.
For the uncommon fierce horse, riding it and making it honest and not irritable is already successful...... As for receiving the order later, it is only a matter of time.
However, this time seems to have expired.
The horse did not do a wrong once, trotting, trotting, trotting, turning, stopping, and, and began to quicken its pace, and gallop in circles......
Its original owner stood beside the dog chestnut, tears of excitement, and the proof pointed to the people: "This man recognizes the horse, and this horse also recognizes the man." I don't think he went anywhere else, he just fell in love with this horse, what about this horse, I don't know why now, it's just honest, it's honest......"
As the horse galloped faster and faster, it was like lightning, because the field was not large, and the human eye could not see it.
The bearded horse master on the side muttered: "I know this horse, I haven't trained it at all, it's tamed, and it doesn't obey the call for three or five days, doesn't this mean that it doesn't need to be tamed." ”
Dog Chestnut turned out a sentence and flashed in his mind: BMW knows heroes.
In his heart, Li Hu is a hero.
When everyone was about to leave, suddenly, the situation changed, Li Hu took the reins, the horse neighed, and stood up to the sky, this is the real harbinger of the stumbling, everyone is curious, all back, and those who went out are still busy running back. The horse stood up and jumped forward quickly, and in front of it was a fence, and everyone said "not good", even if they wanted to see the excitement, they felt nervous.
Seeing that it was about to hit the fence, the horse took off, and Li Hu leaned forward on the horse and jumped over together.
The excitement of watching the joke before disappeared, and there was a sudden applause.
The dog chestnut ran forward desperately, and when he saw Li Hu coming down, he parted the mane of the horse, stroked the horse's neck, and the horse also responded lightly, so he shouted: "Ah Hu." This horse is a good horse. ”
Li Hu waved his hand and said, "Don't rush over, this horse is still alive and easy to be frightened." ”
After speaking, he took out the peanuts from his pocket, pushed them away, and rubbed them into the horse's mouth.
The dog chestnut originally wanted to rush over and take a few hits on the horse's buttocks, but after listening to Li Hu's words, he put this away, Li Hu turned his head and told him: "Then buy the big green mule you fancy too." The horse was bought low. Only forty taels. I guess the mule costs fifty taels. ”
Dog Chestnut was stunned for a moment, and although he knew that he had bought it for himself, he still said, "That's a mule." ”
What he thought to himself was, buy a horse, pick up a bargain, then there is no need to buy it again.
Li Hu smiled: "You haven't ridden a horse." Let's take a mule and practice riding. The mule is honest. ”
The dog chestnut thinks about it, not to mention that the mule is big and looks beautiful, and it is also happy to run forward.
The mule was bought, and it was eighty taels that I could buy two of these ponies...... Dog chestnut felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, and then he thought about it, the horse was too cheap to buy.
The big animals that can be called are expensive, not to mention the huge mules that are good for their appearance. Going out, the two of them carried the stone tiger box, went back and led a mule and a horse, to the store where they stayed, the store's notch had been useless for a long time, and they urgently cleaned it up for them, standing aside, but they were sighing at the mule and the horse was ugly. This dislike, how did the dog chestnut feel good and gave it to himself.
The saddle sheath was also bought, and the dog chestnut was going to rest, because the meal had not yet been eaten, he was so tired that he didn't want to move, and urged Li Hu to go to eat together.
Although he told Mr. Bao that he had bought livestock and would go back tonight, it was actually an excuse, after all, he hadn't brought anything to his family yet, Li Hu suddenly remembered that he asked him to buy it and eat it, and by the way, he asked the bookstore guy to have dinner with him - he said that he would invite others to dinner, and he would buy another set of books.
When the dog chestnut went out, he began to brush the horse's body and clean the horse's body, and when it was cold, he didn't dare to wash it directly, but just used the brush to try to straighten out the horse's hair and mane.
The horse and the mule chewed the hay that the shop had found, and ate it. It's a lot of work to keep the horse from hurting. Li Hu brushed and brushed, and remembered that in addition to going to exchange money in the afternoon, he had to go to the stone yard again and tell the old craftsman to leave. In fact, he was hesitating about something, he wanted to tell the old craftsman the truth, and then hire someone else, or ask someone to recommend an apprentice to him to go back, but he couldn't get it for sure.
He knew it was what he lacked.
He doesn't know the situation of other people's families, he doesn't know the relationship between people and the owner, he doesn't know how much other people get, and he doesn't know if others approve of his ideas. sighed unconsciously, but I missed Abba, if I was around, I could naturally ask him.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he would buy something for the old craftsman, return to Yangjia Village, write a letter to the old man, maintain the relationship, and wait until he was more intimate before he spoke directly.
After a while, the dog came back and bought some food, and he stopped taking care of the animals and went to eat with the dog.
Dog Chestnut thought he could do anything, so he couldn't help but say, "Originally, your family raised livestock, and your father let you get it." How do you know what this animal is doing? ”
Li Hu didn't want to talk about this issue, so he talked about homesickness, so he said: "Don't mention my father, I don't want to mention him." ”
Seeing that he didn't have the sadness of his relatives, Dog Chestnut suddenly had a thought: Will his father not die, he was angry with his father and ran out alone.
After eating and drinking, the horses stayed here, and the mules were pulled out to exchange money...... After asking, I can only go to the Sanfentang, but there are many people who withdraw money there, I am afraid that I can't withdraw it today, the two of them were shocked, so they hurried to go, so they queued up, and when they arrived at the Sanfentang, there was no run a few days ago, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they were still thinking, if they changed to a few dozen taels, hundreds of taels, whether there was so much change in Sansantang, and whether they could fit it. Unexpectedly, this was not a problem, and he was told that the daily silver had been lifted up early, and if he wanted to raise it now, it could only be copper coins......
Ask about the price of copper coins, and copper coins have fallen again.
You look at me, I look at you.
Dog Chestnut had a kind of fear and didn't want Li Hu to withdraw money.
Li Hu knew that this was the surplus of money, also known as currency depreciation.
He accepted how to govern the country when he was a child, and naturally knew that it would be depreciated to a certain extent, because the money itself was made of copper and had weight, and to this extent, the sale of bronze casting ware might have been profitable, and it would be difficult to fall again than the exchange...... Maybe the price will rise, but the money and silver ratio has come to an end, and it is even safer to hold the currency, but he doesn't know why such a big bank as Sanfentang does not cover it up, but tells the truth.
He asked rhetorically, "What about Xia Yuan?" ”
The people of the Sanfen Hall said, "One tael can be exchanged for three hundred." ”
Li Hu stood up suddenly.
He had a wonderful feeling.
One or two against three hundred, what is the concept?
The horses from Eastern Xia were originally about one hundred taels, but now they have reached three or four hundred taels...... And he bought a horse today, even if he picked it up, Jingkang's ordinary, his own horse, is only about a hundred taels, which means that Dongxia will not sell horses now, and will not sell other things to Jingkang.
Dongxia bought Jingkang's things, the original one hundred taels bought, now only twenty-five taels.
He remembered that when the peace was negotiated, Abba asked the court to open a forum, so that the next thing would be a deficit...... Could this be the means of the Jingkang court?
Not like.
If Jingkang does this, it will not depreciate so sharply and rapidly, it will be robbing the people of their wealth and causing prices to soar, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
What's going on?
Jingkang money fell, Dongxia had to fall to be advantageous, how did it rise so terrible, the comparison between the two is equal to one Dongxia money can top more than a dozen Jingkang money.
If it wasn't Jingkang manipulating, how could this be, who was manipulating?
He thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "How was the Dongxia money exchanged yesterday?" ”
The people from the Sanfen Hall smiled: "Yesterday it was two hundred and eight. ”
The fluctuation of money, either something is wrong with the country, or someone manipulates it, this is unthinkable, and now it is not normal to this extent...... I'm afraid that Jingkang is also intervening.
Li Hu was recording prices, and vaguely felt that the speed of depreciation was about the same as the rate of depreciation, so he asked again: "What kind of money insurance is that?" ”
The people of the Sanfen Hall proposed: "Take the Dongxia coins, the money of the imperial court, spend it quickly, this momentum is not right." ”
Li Hu asked again: "Then if this momentum is followed, the people of Jingkang will use Dongxia's money to buy things in the future?" Will it be banned from use? ”
The people of the Sanfen Hall smiled bitterly and said, "How do we know this? Now the trade is all based on silver and Dongxia money, and we don't collect and store the money of the imperial court, and we are also in the Qing ...... Otherwise, why not? As for the run, why not only copper coins. The bosses said that we couldn't stand it, and said that we would close the door, but the court wouldn't let it. If we close the door, what will the people of the world do? It's not that after Lord Yang Juan retired from illness, the people in the court were messing around and sending too much money, and now the court is remedy, sending troops to help us clean up the loan, stabilize the bank, and help us survive. ”
He suggested: "Exchange the Dongxia money, the Dongxia money is valuable, and it is finely made, there is steel in it, there are filament lines, and it can't be faked." ”
Li Hu shook his head.
The money ratio is over, and the price of goods is rising, which no one can do...... Why are prices rising? Who is sucking in people's goods.
Who?
Who will it be?
Li Hu suddenly suspected that it was his father.
Because Dongxia lost a lot of arable land, but had to conquer the grasslands, he needed food, cloth and other people's vital materials, but he couldn't believe that if Dongxia issued money, passed in Jingkang, and used to buy things, then Dongxia could not produce anything, just rely on coinage.
Dog Chestnut begged, "Don't ask. Don't change the money, let's come early tomorrow...... Let's come early tomorrow and change to silver. ”
Li Hu thought again: No. If everyone had this heart, there would be a shortage of silver. The reason why the Dongxia coin is like this is to make up for the shortage of silver.
Oh, my God.
The countryside is still getting two wages, but in this city, already? It is hundreds of baked cakes.
Do you want to exchange Jingkang coins?
