Chapter Thirty-Seven: Preparing for the Twenty-Three ___ "Cybernaut" Soma

The first to come upstairs was a man in his forties, who glanced at the crowd and judged that it was Zhang Zhimu, and arched his hand at Zhang Zhimu, saying: "Oh, it's Zhang Dongjia, it's really presumptuous, sweeping everyone's interest, forgive and forgive." In Xia Yang Zaisheng, apologize. ”

Zhang Zhimu was very polite when he saw that someone came, so he was polite, and said: "Yang Dongjia is polite, we are also a few friends gathering, since Yang Dongjia is here, if you don't dislike it, how about having fun together?" At this time, the Jiang Dongjia also came up, and he was also polite. Yang Zaisheng said: "Since Zhang Dongjia has made concessions, we will also have a good time with everyone." Is this good, tonight, everything is mine, we will withdraw the banquet first, how about we reopen the banquet? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Yang Dongjia is polite, in order to pay for today's wine and silver, I have fought with a few friends to get my wish, Yang Dongjia can not take away the good things of his brother as soon as he comes!" In addition, let's not withdraw this banquet first, we are all just drinking, basically haven't moved, we have all withdrawn, it is too violent. I look at the two owners, if there is anything they are willing to eat, we can go together. Two brothers, how about it? ”

Zhang Zhimu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and it was naturally difficult for people to refuse. In the middle of the banquet, there were the four people who admired Zhang Zhimu, and these words also gave them a lot of faces. Especially Zhang Zhimu called them friends, which was very expensive for them, usually, the four of them couldn't sit together with the two who came, and the difference was too far.

It turned out that Yang and Jiang came to the inn to visit Zhang Zhimu, but they came to nothing. I heard that Zhang Zhimu was drinking in Shengxing Building, so he came to Shengxing Building, and he also planned to come over to have a drink together, and by the way, he would also talk about it. originally thought that with the prestige of the Yang and Jiang families, ordinary people could give face. Who knew that Zhang Zhimu didn't see them. If you leave like this, your face will be lost today. Let the guy go up again and tell Zhang Zhimu that Yang and Jiang are here. That's when I got upstairs.

Then, I ordered the food and reheated the dishes on the table. Everybody toasts, too, and advises on drinking. Zhang Zhimu saw that the person who came was not malicious, so he pushed the cup and drank it, but his heart was always very clear, this is the kung fu he practiced in his previous life.

After a few rounds of drinking, Yang Dangjia explained his intention to Zhang Zhimu, because they soon knew that the news that Zhang Zhimu had chartered all the horses in the racecourse shocked them, especially the news that the garrison personally went to the racecourse made them dare not despise Zhang Zhimu. They also know that in this troubled world, they don't dare to buy this Doma with a little money, and it is the real ability to open up this trade route. In the past, it was okay for them to scare those small businesses, but for Zhang Zhimu, they didn't even have this idea. What's more, they have a batch of horses in their hands, and they want Zhang Zhimu to buy some.

Hearing that they had the idea of selling their horses, Zhang Zhimu hesitated, it was not a problem to buy a few more horses, the question was whether to deal with them. Thinking about it again, there is nothing to gain from dealing with them, as long as you buy and sell normally, do it normally, you can talk to anyone, and you will come here to kill Hu Kou in the future, and there is nothing wrong with knowing them. He said, "The two proprietors must already know that we have already purchased 800 horses." If you buy a horse again, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, but the two of you are so sincere to see the foolish brother, and the foolish brother can't brush off the good intentions of the two owners. So, tomorrow afternoon we'll go to the two brothers' horse farm and see if there's a suitable one and buy some more. ”

The two hurriedly said that the horses in the horse farm were selected by Zhang Zhimu at will, and they would buy that one if they were optimistic. It seems that the horses in their hands are also very difficult. Zhang Zhimu said, "Drinking now, business matters, tomorrow." ”

In the end, after drinking the wine, Zhang Zhimu was carried back, but Zhang Zhimu didn't know anything about all this.

When he got up the next morning, Zhang Zhimu was still dizzy, looking at Chen Yufeng and Liu Yun, who were all right. After eating, the three of them hurriedly ran to the racecourse, according to Chen Yufeng's words, the old thing didn't know what was going on.

Cybernaut didn't really toss lightly and re-divided the horses. Li Wei, Liu Chenghuang, and Fan Chengkun tossed it very lightly, and they didn't dare to squeak. As soon as the work slowed down, the little eyes of "Cybernaut" stood up.

Seeing that the horses were re-divided and done, Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Yan has worked hard, pay attention to your body, don't work too hard, there are still hundreds of miles to go back." ”

Yan Boju waved his hand and said, "Fiddling with Ma Tiring will not kill me." I looked and saw that it was okay to pack the goods, but the horse was still a little raw. One person can carry up to twenty horses. It is a man riding a horse, and the saddle is tied to the reins of a horse on the left and right, and then the horses behind are tied to the saddle in front, a string of ten, and a string on the left and right. In order to walk faster, one person and two horses can be changed. Each horse carries a maximum of 50 catties, so that the horse will not get tired when running long distances, and the speed can be guaranteed. On the road we came, carriages could come over, and it was no problem for two horses to go side by side. ”

Zhang Zhimu breathed a sigh of relief, and the weight of the goods that could be bought in this way came out. Then you'll have to hire some people to bring the horses back.

Hearing Zhang Zhimu say that he was going to buy a horse, Yan Boju's eyes lit up, and he said, "In the afternoon, you will listen to me which horse to buy." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Of course listen to you, if the horses are possible, we will buy another 200, and we will make up the whole number." ”

The horse farms of Yang and Jiang are next to each other, with a total of hundreds of horses. The negotiated price was thirty taels of silver for a high-class horse, twenty taels of silver for a medium-class horse, and fourteen taels of silver for a third-class horse. Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng and Yang Jiang, the two owners, drank tea and chatted on the side. Yan Boju led the people to pick the horses one by one. Yan Boju was so serious, the sun was a little westerly before he finished picking. A total of fifty horses were selected in the upper stalls, one hundred in the medium stalls, and fifty in the third-class stalls. The two proprietors of this horse picked praised directly, and today I met a master of Soma. Zhang Zhimu laughed and said: "This is the Yan Boju on the rivers and lakes who is called 'Cybernaut'. "The two of them were very surprised, they had heard a long time ago that Xiurong had a family of horses, and there was an expert in horses. The reputation of Cybernaut has since grown. Seeing that "Cybernaut" had finished selecting horses, he came over to drink some water, and Yang Dongjia asked people to bring more than a dozen horses over. Let Yan Boju take a look and ask if these horses want fifty taels. Yan Boju glanced at Zhang Zhimu and said, "Accept it," Zhang Zhimu also said, "Accept it." ”

Of course, Yang Jiang and the others were very happy, not only sold 200 horses, because this kind of business was not too much in these two families. What they are even happier is that they can have a relationship with Zhang Zhimu, and they think that it is embarrassing to kill Hukou without them, not to mention that there may be a greater opportunity in the future.

Zhang Zhimu didn't expect that Yang Jiang and the others also asked Zhang Zhimu if he could leave the steel spring carriage when he left, and also leave some thoughts for killing Hukou. Zhang Zhimu can only say that he will talk about this matter when he leaves.

After remitting the silver, the two families called over the horse-driving men who had been waiting beside them, and one of them gave them some silver and asked them to help drive the horses into Zhang Zhimu's horse pen. Looking at their skillful horse-driving skills, Zhang Zhimu thought to himself, there are people who drive horses. Chen Yufeng said beside him, this killing Hukou, there is no shortage of royal horse masters.

After going back, Zhang Zhimu called Chen Yufeng, Yan Boju, Liu Yun and others together, and said: "Now we can basically decide, use these horses to carry the goods back, we have to calculate, how many horses are needed to carry fodder, tethered horse stakes and other things, how many horses are ridden, and how many horses are used to carry the goods left in Fanjiaying." The rest is based on the amount of 50 catties of goods per horse, and we can calculate how much cargo we can buy. Zhang Zhimu said that Li Zhi had been remembering, and then Li Zhi calculated the amount of goods that could be carried.

Zhang Zhimu arranged for Li Wei and Li Zhi to be responsible for hiring twenty men who were driving horses, and hired them to help drive the horses to Xiurong. In addition, buy or customize the horse carrier by quantity. Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng took Liu Yun into the city, and went directly to find Pan and Li, the two shopkeepers, and said the number of varieties of furs to be bought. But Pan and Li's two shopkeepers said that your goods are not easy to sell back, because different skins have different uses, and people who buy skins will have different needs, so they will match the goods in proportion according to the suggestions of Pan and Li's two shopkeepers. Zhang Zhimu told Pan and Li that the two shopkeepers would pack the horns and tendons directly, and he completely believed them and didn't need to look at them anymore. After ordering the goods, Zhang Zhimu asked the two shopkeepers for a favor, and wanted to buy a house with a small courtyard in Hukou. The two said that this is easy to do, but now the business here is not good, there are more houses to sell, and few to buy houses. Then according to the introduction of the two, I went to a few businesses, ordered some Mongolian felt, camel hair, cashmere, hump and other precious items, saw that there were wolf skins, a total of more than a dozen, Zhang Zhimu bought them all, there were high-quality lamb skins, Zhang Zhimu bought some.

In the evening, Yan Boju returned to live in the city, and Zhang Zhimu asked him, why don't you choose more among the best horses. Yan Boju smiled and said, "I am a horse horse, I don't care what grade they are in, the horses I choose are all good horses." ”

Zhang Zhimu was puzzled, Yan Boju said, go back and give me half a month, most of the horses I picked out today are high-quality horses, not worse than the high-class horses in our horse pen, the horses here, I will take a closer look, I pay attention, maybe I can produce a few excellent horses. They have eyes but do not know horses. Those fifty taels of horses made a lot of money. You don't have to sell it elsewhere, you can earn a hundred taels by selling it to Li Mao. Zhang Zhimu began to be a little in awe of this Soma god. This is Soma, and greatness can be seen from the ordinary. "Cybernaut" is not for nothing.

As soon as Zhang Zhimu thought about it, leave it to him. People generally give a point of trust, and the reward is very loyal.

Waiting for the goods to be done, Pan shopkeeper came to Zhang Zhimu, led Zhang Zhimu to see a house with a front and back yard, there are three main rooms, three east and west wings, and three main houses in the backyard. Then, Zhang Zhimu brought Mrs. Qin Peng and others and told them that this was a newly bought property, and after Zhang Zhimu left, they came over to help look at the house, and left some silver, so that they could ask someone to repair the house well, and leave some silver to make a small business to make ends meet. Zhang Zhimu said that he will come back in the fall, and by then he may open a branch here.
