Chapter 192: Quite an Honor
Chapter 192 is quite an honor
The annual expenses of a peasant household are only about 20 taels of silver, what is the concept of 1,000 taels of silver? It's not too much to say it's astronomical. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With this thousand taels of silver as bait, as long as there are red horses in Yunjiang County, they are desperately rushing to the county office. Who knows which cloud makes the rain? What if this luck hits you?
As soon as Zhou Ning came out, he immediately provoked a surge of emotion, and everyone gathered around and dragged their horses forward, hoping that Zhou Ning would take a fancy to him at a glance.
Zhou Ning doesn't know how to be a horse, and it seems to be good at a glance. He glanced at the horses' hooves, and none of them were 'four-hoofed white'.
Zhou Ning once asked Song Guoxing if his horses had any other characteristics besides 'a large ridge and a wide hair, red like charcoal'.
Song Guoxing replied at the time: "My horse does not have a single miscellaneous hair on its body, except for the white hooves. ”
"Which hoof is white?"
"All four hooves are white."
This was not written in the notice sent by Zhou Ning, because if it was written in such detail, it would not be like buying a certain breed of horse, but a frame for which horse to buy.
If you buy a certain breed of horse, it gives the impression that you want to buy a horse. If you buy a horse, it feels like you're looking for a horse.
This little detail is very important, the so-called difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles away. If you want to buy a horse, you will attract people who want to sell horses, and if you want to find a horse, you can attract people who steal horses?
Of course, Zhou Ning's horse purchase was just an illusion, and his real purpose was only one, that is, to find the horse thief who stole Song Guoxing's horse.
As for whether this method is effective, Zhou Ning is not 100% sure in his heart, but before he thinks of a better idea, he must always try his best to play this play realistically.
Zhou Ning opened the record book, and according to the registration content above, he called them one by one, and he read them all seriously.
Touching the horse's head and then touching the horse's back, pretending to find fault with each horse's flaws. He took it for granted that he couldn't ask for any of them, but he couldn't be too direct.
If people see the flaws, can the play still be called a play? The biggest charm of the play is that the fake is true and true, the truth and the fake can be seen through at a glance, so who else can be fooled?
"Everyone's horses are good, but they all have problems of one kind or another." Zhou Ning sighed helplessly: "This county just wants to buy a good red horse, I personally like red, horses, to tell the truth, I don't know the art of Soma, I invited a Soma expert to help me Soma, about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, please come over and take a look if you have time these days, in case your horse is really a good horse, this county will not break its promise." ”
When the big guy heard the county order, he really wanted to buy a horse, and he didn't know how to do horsemanship. This is also normal, and the county magistrate will not necessarily be an official.
Since he doesn't know how to do it himself, he has to ask someone he trusts to help him. One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, no wonder people are cautious.
It's useless to tell him anything, no matter how good you say, the county order won't believe you. You are a horse seller, he is a horse buyer, can he trust you?
Which seller is not Lao Wang selling melons and boasting? It is impossible for Zhou Ning to have a low IQ and pay for believing that the horse seller is boasting, after all, a thousand silver cannot be used casually.
Everyone led the horse out of the county government, and one after another someone led the horse into the county government, and the main book has been recording, busy until it was dusk.
For four or five days in a row, the county government was like this, and the record book of the main book recorded a full two hundred and seventy-one red high-headed horses.
"My lord, what kind of horse are you going to buy?" The master finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Ning, so many horses can't choose a favorite one?
Although 1,000 taels of silver is a lot, the price is set by yourself, and if you are reluctant to buy it now, just say it.
Why let people sit here all day to record, record, is this work meaningful or not? You can't just rely on the fact that you're a county magistrate and you're a tired silly boy here.
"It's a big ridge with a wide spine and a red hair." Zhou Ning's eight words are about to become an eight-character mantra, and there is nothing wrong in saying dreams in the dream.
One sentence choked the master book and couldn't open his mouth, what kind of horse Zhou Ning wants to buy, now the whole city knows, what else do you ask? Even three-year-olds playing on the street now say, 'It's a big spine and it's red.'"
The matter of the county order to buy a horse has caused a stir and has become the main topic of conversation after dinner. In the past, the people of Yunjiang County went to the county yamen to hang around, in order to see if there were any lawsuits to watch.
Now I go around in front of the county yamen to see if anyone has sold the horse, and every day I see a group of people leading the horse in, and then leading the horse out.
Then someone came around and asked, "How's it going?" How's it going? ”
It's not like a person going in to sell a horse, it's like a person leading a horse to take an exam. Everyone regarded this as the touchstone for the red horses to leap into the dragon gate.
The man who led the horse out shook his head and sighed deeply: "The adult said that my horse is too thin, alas, it is true, the horse is thin to run fast, can the horse fat run?" ”
"Hahaha" people who watch the excitement don't feel anything to regret, anyway, it has nothing to do with them if they don't sell or not, and there is no conflict of interest in a copper plate. "Adults really don't know Soma."
The man led the horse and parted the crowd dejectedly, a thousand taels of silver was not so easy to earn, and his hopes were thus disappointed.
He had not taken a few steps forward when suddenly a man blocked his way, and the man smiled and raised his hand to caress it. Touching the horse's head, he asked, "Have you seen your lord?" ”
The man straightened his back and replied, "Of course, the Lord is still talking to me." ”
The man was as proud as a rooster when he mentioned this, and his mood suddenly improved, although the horse was not sold, but he had spoken to the adults, which was also a very worthy thing to be proud of.
There are more people who haven't sold horses, and it's nothing, but it's a real honor to have a chance to talk to adults.
