Chapter 120: Bai Gui sends the horse
"He? He might have heard us? Shen asked worriedly.
"Yes! Brother-in-law! If he runs away and runs back and tells us everything, then it's going to be a big problem! The third brother of the sheep girl was also worried and asked.
"Alas!" Bai Gui sighed and said, "Who asked me to have such a brother-in-law!" Just let him say it! Let him pit his sister! He doesn't cheat his sister, his sister still wants to have a relationship with him! It's a pit! Seeing the essence of this younger brother, I will not associate with him again in the future. Alas! β
"White officials!" When everyone saw Bai Gui and Bai Guanren sighing, it was not easy to say anything.
"I saw it back then, saying that this brother-in-law may have a problem with his character, but his sister! It's to protect him. There is no way! I didn't want to be cheated by my brother-in-law, so I moved my family out of their house. Then! His sister is still having trouble with me! Alas! In order to avoid this brother-in-law, I have moved countless times. But? Every time he was betrayed by his sister. Good! It's up to him to toss this time! Don't talk about him! β
Bai Gui waved his hand, not wanting to say any more.
For Bai Gui's sake's sake, for his sister's sake, Bai Gui didn't want to do anything to this brother-in-law. It's still the same sentence: What can you do with such an uncle? The only way! It's to stay away from him.
To be on the safe side! Bai Gui sent another person to chase the unicorn Bai Jiao and told him about his brother-in-law's escape. Let him rush in front of Linyi, in front of the people of Qi Guo, and transfer his family members again.
There is no way! This stupid brother-in-law, when the time comes, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and for his own sake, he may really sell his sister's family.
After arranging this side of the matter, Bai Gui took Shen to see the horses.
Of course! It's not about looking at any good horse.
The best horses have already moved places. The horses that are openly sold are medium and second-class horses.
All the horses were personally verified by Uncle Wu's hands one by one before they were stored separately. The horses, which could have been "Maxima", were kept in another place from outsiders. Those horses with Maxima potential were also put aside. And the best horses were put aside.
The thousand horses given to the Chu State were put aside on the other side, and these horses were all good horses. Bai Gui deliberately put him in a conspicuous place and deliberately let others see him. Once the other party asked, he said that this was a horse specially purchased for the Chu State. The people of Chu paid a lot of money, so they naturally gave them the best horses.
In fact! What is said deliberately is to stimulate others. That means: If you give me a big price, I will keep a good horse for you.
If you are reluctant to spend money, you can only buy other people's leftover horses. Whoever comes first to buy a horse can pick first.
Under Uncle Wu's personal selection, those horses with "specialties" were put aside, and they were not easy for outsiders to see.
What is a "specialty" horse?
It's those handsome horses, horses of pure color, tall horses, and so on. For example! In the herd, it is rare to have a few pure white horses. And! This is a docile horse or can run or wait for something, this is the extra-long horse.
This kind of horse is not for sale, but! Give it away!
Pure black horses, or maroon horses, or black-backed horses, etc., are all given away. These horses are not necessarily good horses. But! Because they are good-looking, they have another value.
Just like some contemporary film and television stars, they can also be famous because they are good-looking. It doesn't matter if you can't act, you can shoot commercials, right? You can also make money by selling your appearance.
When I came to Lan Gongzi's ranch, the horses inside were very orderly and not messy. Under the management of Uncle Wu, small ranches were divided. Around! It's all fenced off. Inside the pasture, a temporary horse shed was also erected.
Normally, the horses are tied to the stables and eat fresh forage cut from the mountains. Every day at the specified time, they are released to run freely on the large pasture. Because it is an orderly release, only one horse in the stable is released at a time, so! The pasture is large and not crowded at all.
When the horses are tired of running, they can graze freely on the pasture. When the time comes, they will be driven back and locked up in the designated venue. And then! Bolt them to the stables one by one.
After visiting the ranch, Bai Gui led Shen Buxian to come and see the horses.
"These! All are prepared for the state of Chu. The state of Chu has already paid the deposit, a thousand horses! The price given by the State of Chu is this number! Bai Gui said, making a gesture: raise the index finger of his right hand.
Shin didn't understand what Baekyu's gesture meant? How much is it worth?
"Chu Jun is willing to give me a thousand loads of ore, and I will trade it freely! β¦β¦β
Originally! The gesture made by Bai Gui refers to a thousand quintals of ore.
"A thousand quintals of ore?" Shen Buxin was surprised again.
But! He still didn't understand: what kind of ore is this thousand quintals of ore? The price varies depending on the ore. If it's a rare ore, it's big. If it's an iron ore, it's even bigger. Even if it's copper ore, it's quite impressive!
"We said before, five hundred quintals of iron ore! It is pure iron ore, and 500 quintals can smelt 400 quintals of pure iron! Other than that! Give me back two hundred quintals of miscellaneous ore! β¦β¦β
"Miscellaneous mines?"
Miscellaneous ores are ores that did not have a name at that time. This ore is smelted in a copper furnace or iron furnace, which makes copper or iron harder and easier to smelt.
During the Warring States period at that time, smelting technology was quite developed. But because it is an emerging energy source, so! Some of the ores they can't name yet. I only know that it is a kind of ore, and after adding this ore, the smelted Dongdong will be better.
"Uncle Wu! Go and pick two good horses for me, one for Shenzi and the other for Han Jun in Korea! Bai Gui said to Uncle Wu.
"Yes!" Uncle Wu agreed and rode away.
In fact! Before he came, Bai Gui had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Uncle Wu. Let him pick a good horse and give it to Han Jun. That's what it means! Just send a good horse. And what was given to Shen Bu was an ordinary horse. It has to be in good condition, and it's fine.
Shen Buxian is a civil official, not a military attachΓ©, and he doesn't understand horses, so there is no need to send such a good horse. And the horse given to Han Jun is different, you have to choose the best horse. After all! The gift is too bad, and it will be difficult to talk to him in the future.
Coming to one of the stables, Bai Gui took Shin to watch the horses.
"These horses! No one has picked yet, you can pick first! There are 500 horses in total. Bai Gui waved his hand and said very generously.
"Pick?" Shen Buxian couldn't believe it. But! Then he said, "So be it! I believe in you, white officials! I'm not going to pick and choose. If you are a businessman, you should pick a good horse first, and the worse horse will not be easy to sell. There are five hundred horses in one stable here, so I will ask for six stables in succession, five, six or three thousand! β
"Good! Readily! Bai Gui agreed. Did you hear that? From here, there are six stables, a total of 3,000 horses, all of which are Shenzi! Shenzi has already bought it! β
"Yes! White officials! A steward agreed: "There are three thousand horses in six stables, all of which have been sold to Shenzi!" β
"This? White officials! Shen Buxian suddenly got up embarrassed and said, "I haven't paid my deposit yet!" β
"I believe in you! I believe in Han Jun! Hahaha! β¦β¦β
