Chapter 428: Driving Horses

Early in the morning, the servants of the Sahazhuo family waited at the door of Wang Zaixu's house, and when Zhang Yi and the others came out with Sahazhuo, they went to the horse farm of Sahazhuo's family together.

The sky had just dawned, and Zhang Yi and his entourage, plus the people of the Sahazhuo family, totaled more than 200 people.

However, although there were many of them, they were extremely quiet all the way, more than two hundred people, and they didn't make too much noise.

Zhang Yi and Sahazhuo were a little surprised in their hearts, they both thought that the other party was just a businessman, and their own people were trained, and they both felt that the other party's people should be a little worse.

However, in such a comparison, Sahazhuo and Zhang Yi both glanced at each other, and from the entourage, they could also see the strength of the master's family, the retinue team with such strict discipline, and there were so many people, which was enough to show the strength of Zhang Yi and others.

Sahadok's horse farm was some distance from Qingtang Market, and even though they set off at dawn in the morning, they walked on two legs and walked for almost an hour before they reached Sahadok's horse farm.

At this time, the sun had come out, and listening to the neighing of horses in the distance, Zhang Yi and the others couldn't help but speed up their pace.

From a distance, in the horse farm, countless good horses are running around with their hooves raised, looking cheerful.

Such a horse is definitely a good horse!

Sahazhuo's housekeeper was already waiting at the racecourse, and when Zhang Yi and the others entered the racecourse, Sahazhuo's housekeeper came to report to Sahazhuo.

According to the steward, there were only 1,000 good horses in Sahadro's horse farm, and the other 1,000 were bought from other horse farms, but they were also good horses.

Zhang Yi didn't study horses very much, but Yue Shiyi and Wang Wu and others were very familiar with them, and now that they saw such a good horse here, if it weren't for Sahazhuo here, they would have wanted to go up and give it a try.

But now these horses are also theirs, and with Zhang Yi's permission, Yue 11 and Wang Wu immediately beckoned a few people over.

Several of them were good hands, and they rode their horses, without even using a saddle, and they were able to run easily.

The horses whistled by, and they tried to ride the horses not just to satisfy their curiosity or anything, Zhang Yi asked them to come for the purpose of letting them try the quality of these horses.

Everyone ran around the horse farm twice, and Yue Shiyi, Wang Wu and the others walked back and nodded lightly at Zhang Yi, signaling that these horses were fine.

Sahazhuo looked at Zhang Yi and the others' cautious appearance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my Sahazhuo's horse farm can be said to be the biggest and best in the entire Qingtang, and these horses are naturally the good horses I selected for your guests." ”

After Sahazhuo finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, Zhang Yi is a businessman, why do he want so many good horses.

And even if he doesn't do anything, he has so many good horses to go back, these horses can be cultivated into war horses, and if he sells these horses to the Tang Army when the time comes, then he will not become a sinner who delivers war horses to the Tang Army.

Thinking of this, Sahadro added: "Honorable guest, although my Sahadro family's horses are all good horses, but you have also seen that in this transaction, almost all the good horses in my horse farm have been swept away by you, so I think that the next time we trade, we can exchange something else." ”

Zhang Yi could think of what Sahazhuo was worried about with his toes, but he really didn't care much about what was exchanged.

Now he is purely to make Datang's military strength stronger, so he will get them so many good horses to go back, and the purpose of his doing this is also to sell the border army a favor, and when you need help from others that day, others will also be willing to help you.

But there are enough of these horses, even if you still want them, you don't dare to come to Sahadro for the second time, and there are not so many horses to sell to you.

So Zhang Yi said easily: "No matter what kind of transaction is used, we can accept it, but we think that the horses can maintain their value, and no matter when, these good horses will not depreciate." ”

After receiving Zhang Yi's affirmative answer, Sahazhuo suddenly smiled, as long as Zhang Yi didn't ask him for horses, then anything else was fine.

In addition to many horse farms in Qingtang, there are more yaks, sheep and the like, and Zhang Yi is already thinking about getting some yaks and sheep the next time he comes, and get them back as beef and sheep.

When the time comes, you can send some to the border army to improve the food, or you can let the fat man come over and take it back to Chang'an to sell, although Datang is not allowed to slaughter cultivated cattle, but these beef cattle are allowed, if these yaks can be brought back to Chang'an, it is definitely in short supply, and a lot of people take silver and copper coins to buy.

Now Zhang Yi and they are doing a business, these green salts, spirits and Tibetan mastiffs, all of which Li Er took out from the treasury, so Zhang Yi thought about getting some horses, beef cattle or something to go back, which can be regarded as giving back to Datang, giving back to Datang, and giving back to Li Er.

Now that they have finished their trial on the eleventh day of the month, Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong have talked to Sahazhuo about some issues of the next cooperation, and after the negotiation, the sun has already shone on the people's bodies.

"Let's go, we should go back too, Lord Sahazhuo, give us a ride, otherwise, we may not be able to get out of Qingtang!"

Zhang Yi said jokingly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Sahazhuo originally promised to send them out of Qingtang, so he didn't refuse, and immediately asked his servants to help Zhang Yi's people drive the horses together.

Two thousand horses is not a small number, and if you want to drive horses for long distances, you need at least fifty experienced herdsmen.

There was no shortage of these experienced herders at Sahadro's horse farm, so Sahadro asked them to follow.

Zhang Yi led the way with Yue 11 and Sahazhuo and dozens of young men at the front, followed by dozens of herdsmen driving horses, and at the end, Xu Jingzong led all the people.

When they went back, they didn't let Wang Zaixu follow, and even Li Yan, they didn't let him come back with them.

Because they left the remaining grain, as well as some medicines and inferior salt, to Li Yan and Wang Zaixu.

Those things should be regarded as the reward they gave to Li Yan and Wang Zaixu, and they promised Li Yan before leaving.

Although those things were not as valuable as the green salt they sold to Sahazhuo, they were enough for the two of them to make a fortune, after all, they didn't need to cost those things, they were pure profits.

If the two of them dumped those things, they would definitely make more money than they had made a trip before.
