Chapter 8 Sweat and Blood BMW
After sending Du Chan away, Gao Ye began to prepare the wine and tea to be tributed, and after preparing the quantity, he still sent it to Du Chan's mansion in person. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Ye and Du Zan After a nutritious conversation, Gao Ye left Du Zan 's house.
If you want to say that Du Zhan's Taishou Mansion is different from other Taishou. In the past, the Taishou naturally had to live in the Taishou Mansion built by the government, and this Duzhan was originally from Wuyuan, and he already had a house in this city, so he naturally expanded his house and changed it to the Taishou Mansion.
Gao Ye came out of his mansion and happened to be not far from the West Market. There are quite a lot of Hu merchants in this western market, many of them came to Bingzhou from the territory of the Xiongnu, and the rest are some merchants who often go to the Xiongnu, selling some exotic goods here. And usually come here are some wealthy businessmen and officials, after all, the things sold here are equivalent to luxury goods in later generations, and ordinary people can't even eat enough, how can they have spare money to come here to buy and sell things?
Of course, this is not to say that ordinary people will not come here, because in the entire Wuyuan County City, only this West Market is allowed to trade people. It is only here that those who sell their children can be protected by the government. If you change places and encounter some bullying lords, then you will lose your children and make no money, and no one will care.
Therefore, the moment Gao Ye stepped into the West Market, he felt that countless eyes were staring at him. Without him, in order to send things to Du Zhan today, he naturally dressed very decently. Especially the jade pendant on the waist, which is something that has been passed down from generation to generation in Guiguzi, is naturally priceless. When such a big money owner comes, what businessman doesn't want to slaughter a knife and live a fat year? And what thief doesn't want to grab something and have a good meal?
Gao Ye walked less than twenty meters in the West Market, and he had already broken the wrists of three thieves, but seeing the many cowering eyes around him, Gao Ye knew that he might have to break three more.
However, the goods in the West Market are dazzling, most of them are gold and stone agate from the Western Regions, as well as wool carpets, and even the scimitars of the Huns. Can you buy this too? The Huns were originally short of iron weapons, and they could have a scimitar that was treated as if it were fate, and this merchant had never come to get this knife?
Gao Ye walked all the way, looked all the way, some liked it, and asked the price. Gao Ye is really not short of money now, after all, he sells wine and tea, plus the savings of his predecessors for hundreds of years, it is a bit too much to say that he is now rich and rivals the country, but it is more than enough to be an enemy of Wuyuan County.
After Gao Ye bought a few agate ornaments, he saw a group of people around in front of him, and Gao Ye knew that this must be lively again. I don't know when the character of Chinese people getting together to see the excitement was cultivated, but Gao Ye knows that as long as there is a crowd, it must be lively again, and the more people, the greater the excitement. No, even counting the merchants, there are only two or three hundred people in the entire West Market, and there are dozens of people gathered in front of it, which is very lively, and it must be not small.
Although Gao Yebelly slandered the bad habit of Chinese people to watch the excitement, he still got up without hesitation, and also wanted to see what happened.
Gao Ye's own height is actually considered tall, one meter eighty-five is not low in later generations, but in this crowd of people, he is really not a tall man, Gao Ye stands outside the crowd, his eyes are full of heads, but he can't see much inside. But you can hear the people inside arguing.
Gao Ye only listened to a few words, and he roughly knew what was going on. It turned out that the quarrel was between two groups of horse sellers, but these two groups were Han Chinese, and the horses trafficked back from the Xiongnu and other places in the Western Regions came to sell in the Wuyuan City. Originally, the stalls of these two families were next to each other, and on this day, there were many people in the West Market, and the business was also good, but the horses and foals of the two families who came and went were mixed together, and it looked like the market was about to close, and the horses were clearly divided, but the foals could not be distinguished, don't look at these two groups are Han Chinese, but when it comes to interests, no one will give in. Otherwise, it is not unreasonable that Confucianism has always despised businessmen and valued profit over righteousness.
What's more, this foal is the most malleable, and the price is naturally high, these dozen foals are a lot of wealth, who can give up easily?
What's more, this caravan that went to the grasslands of the Western Regions didn't have any combat effectiveness, and before it got out of the Western Regions, it might be killed by horse thieves. Those who can walk through the trade routes of the Western Regions, the guards are really from the battlefield, and when the two sides quarrel, who will be afraid of whom?
When Gao Ye watched behind the crowd, it was still in the quarrel stage, who would have thought that it would become a full martial arts after a while. As soon as the people on both sides made a move, the crowd immediately dispersed a lot, after all, no one wanted to be injured by mistake. Gao Ye is happy, now there is no one in front of me, this is lively. Although the crowd dispersed a lot, among the remaining people, there were really people cheering on both sides, which was really not a big deal to watch the excitement, and they just looked at it, what was it.
After fighting for a while, I heard a shout: "Downtown brawl, what kind of system, take it all for me!" Then I saw a dozen heavily armed soldiers rushing in. These people are also interested, and when they see that the soldiers patrolling the city are coming, why bother to fight again, fight again, and fight again, maybe they will fight with these soldiers, it will be a rebellion. As a man who looked like an officer walked in, both sides stopped, and two businessmen hurried up to meet them.
The officer looked at the two businessmen, and he was angry. I patrol the vicinity of the West City on weekdays, which one dares to make a mistake, today these two people really didn't put the uncle in my eyes, they all dare to fight, I don't know if the Taishou Mansion is next to it, this makes the Taishou know, scold me for a small matter, and fine my silver is a big thing!
"You two, fighting in the city, what's the matter! I can't tell you why, don't blame the uncle, I'm not welcome, let you enter the yamen to eat! ”
The two businessmen hurriedly said the reason, and when the officer heard it, he was also embarrassed at the moment, these dozen or so foals were about the same length, how could this be divided? was stunned for three seconds, and then reacted, Lao Tzu is a bird, and all of them will be confiscated.
The officer feigned anger and said, "Whatever points are still divided, all will be confiscated!" Let you fight in the city, and the right will be punished! Gao Ye immediately laughed when he heard this, this officer has a brain, he can't tell the difference, if he forcibly divides the horse, he will definitely make a big joke, it is better to take it like this, take it away directly, and use the law as a shield, to give an explanation to the people, and the benefits of Shangguan are indispensable.
These two groups of businessmen were anxious when they heard this, what is this called? Such a large sum of silver, you said you would take it away? We worked so hard to get this back from the Western Regions! No, absolutely not.
Gao Ye kept looking at the two businessmen, and when he saw the faces of the two of them, he changed from surprise when he heard the word "confiscation" to resoluteness, and Gao Ye guessed that these two people were probably unwilling to obey. This is Wuyuan, it is the border, even if you kill the official and rebel, you can still escape to the Xiongnu, and you don't have to die.
Not only did Gao Ye see it, but the officer also saw it, and then he held the hilt of his sword and shouted: "Why, do you still want to kill the official and rebel!" ”
When the officer had finished speaking, all the soldiers raised their weapons again.
"What's going on! It's noisy, I hear it all in the house! There was a loud shout, like a thunder shock, whether it was the merchant or the officer, or Gao Ye, they were all stunned.
I saw Du Chan walking out of the crowd. As soon as the officer saw the governor, he hurried to see it, and the two merchants also bowed to the Taishou. When Du Zhan came over, he also had a general understanding of the situation, and just now he saw the officer's behavior in the crowd, and he felt that it was just right, who would have thought that it would become a tense situation in the blink of an eye. Hurry out so that the two sides don't fight. However, as soon as Du Zan walked to the front, he saw Gao Ye who was watching the excitement, Gao Ye smiled and saluted him, and he also returned the salute, saying, "I don't want Mingxi to be here." ”
"Haha, when I came out of the adult's house, I wanted to come to the West Market for a walk, and I happened to come across a lively look." Gao Ye said with a smile.
"It made Mingxi smile." After saying that, Du Zan turned his head to look at the three of them, and said, "What are you going to do, do you want to fight in the street!" ”
"My lord, these two men were fighting in the streets, and the last general came to stop them, and confiscated thirteen foals, and these two men refused to accept it, and seemed to have intended to attack the officers and soldiers, so they ......."
Du Zan has already come, naturally he has seen everything in his eyes, but what can he do at this time, if he says that he will confiscate the horses, it seems that this battle is unavoidable, and now there are only one or twenty soldiers on his side, and the other party adds up to more than fifty people, so it is not necessarily advantageous to really fight. If you can't convince the two of them, not only will your official prestige be damaged, but I'm afraid you will still have to fight. Alas, it was a mistake to stand up without asking people to call the army.
Gao Ye naturally could see that Du Zhan was in a dilemma, so he said: "Adults don't have to be embarrassed, there is a way to distinguish the foals of the two at night, and it will definitely be able to convince the two of them." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and looked straight at Gao Ye. Du Zan asked directly: "What can Mingxi do, let's hear it." ”
"It's simple, adults just need to lock up these foals and mares separately, let these foals starve for a day, and then release them, and these foals will naturally go to their mothers and drink milk." Gao Ye smiled and said the way. This is the old wisdom of Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan is a native of Tibet, and he worked hard for Songtsen Gampo to create a strong country like Tubo. It's just that Lu Dongzan was a person from the Tang Dynasty, and now he is just a wisp of ghost between heaven and earth. And Lu Dongzan is probably the most famous for the three things of "outwitting the foal", "intellecting the roots" and "skillfully wearing jade", I can't say, when I describe his wisdom in the future, only the last two will remain.
After Gao Ye finished talking about this method, Du Zhan nodded again and again, and said: "It's really a good way, just wait a day, who this foal is, naturally it is clear." What do you two think? Du Chan asked.
"We have no objections." The two businessmen said in unison.
"Well, in that case, let's do it. It's just that you two connived at the servants and fought in the streets, and you must not go unpunished! Each person will be fined 20 yuan to set an example! ”
Twenty runs, for ordinary people, is really a huge amount of money. These twenty times are enough for a family to eat and drink for two or three years. But for these two businessmen, it's really not heavy. At least compared to the foals, it was a drop in the bucket, so they were both willing to be punished.
The officer took the fine, and then turned back to the county office, and as for the horses, the two merchants knew how to distinguish them, and naturally they were able to do it themselves.
Gao Ye saw that the matter was over, so he wanted to leave, but was stopped by one of the merchants. Du Zhan was about to leave, but when he saw that Gao Ye was stopped, he stopped to see what the merchant wanted to do.
The merchant saluted Gao Ye and said, "In Xia Zhongshan Sushuang, thank you for your help today." Gao Ye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just an idea." Brother Su told me to stay, but is there anything else? Gao Ye knew that this merchant had never been profitable, and he had already solved the problem for them, and the two of them had already thanked him, and if it wasn't for something else, he would never stop him again.
"Uh... Precisely. Although this method is simple, even people like us who sell horses all the year round have never thought of it, so it can be seen that the wisdom of Childe is really extraordinary. Now I still have a difficult matter, and I want to ask Childe for advice. ”
At this time, even Du Zhan came: "Oh, what's the difficulty, it's better to come and hear it." ”
Gao Ye also smiled: "Listen to me." ”
"In the previous generations of my ancestors, they were all horse sellers, and there were naturally many good horses in the family, but there were not many real BMWs, a total of seventeen. My father passed away last year, and before he died, he gave these seventeen horses to my three brothers, but this distribution is really strange to us. Therefore, the three brothers have divided other things, but these BMWs have not been clearly divided. ”
"Oh? How is Lingzun divided? Gao Ye asked.
"The next is the eldest son in the family, inherited a huge family business, so my father is unwilling to share more BMW with me, and wants to make up for my two brothers, so I share the number of ninety-one, my second brother also has some skills, my father divides him with the number of three-one, my third brother is young, so he divides more, and his father gives him half. The three of us brothers don't have any opinions on this, but how can we divide half of these seventeen BMWs? Is it possible to split a horse in half? The BMW is worth a lot of money, but the horse meat can be worth a few dollars. Therefore, we have been hanging on the issue, but we can't think of a solution. ”
After listening to this, Du Zan also thought carefully, but he had no clue, and when he looked at Gao Ye, he found that Gao Ye had a smile on his face, obviously he was already confident. Then he said: "Mingxi has already thought of a way?" ”
"It's a little weird, but it's not impossible."
"Haha, Mingxi's wisdom, it's really extraordinary, he will definitely be in the picture one day and leave a name in history. I can't do it, old man. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue. After Du Zan said that, he turned his head to Su Shuang and said: "Your problem is really difficult, but Mingxi has come up with a way, and it can't be cheaper than you, if you don't come up with a suitable price, I won't allow Mingxi to tell you." ”
Gao Ye also laughed after hearing this, but he didn't expect this hall to be too guarded, and he actually started business.
However, Su Shuang was refreshing: "That's right, in the next trip to the Western Regions, I really received a BMW, if the son can answer for me, this horse will be given to the son to express gratitude." Then he ordered his men to go and bring the horses out. As soon as the horse was pulled out, Gao Ye's eyes lit up.
I saw that the body of this horse was tubular shaped, the chest was narrow, the back was long, the ribs were shallow, the phalanges were long but not obvious, the hind area was slightly narrow but strong and powerful, the hips were slightly long, muscular, the nails were high, long and muscular, the shoulders were long, the arc was beautiful, and the shoulders were clean; The black fur is shiny, and it is really a good horse.
For Soma, Gao Ye doesn't know much about it, but Duzan is a big expert. After turning around the horse, he turned back to Gao Ye and said: "Mingxi, this is really a good horse, if what I see is correct, this is the legendary sweat and blood horse!" Looking at the teeth, he is only two years old, and he is still wild, and he is really a rare good horse. Mingxi, you've picked up a big bargain. Get this horse, it's all up to the old man to open his mouth, you have to invite the old man to eat, no matter how bad it is, give the old man some burning knives, winter is good to keep out the cold, hahahaha. ”
