It's a change of dynasty!

Almost as soon as the ship entered the port of Xiangguan, Sun Tianen, who was standing on the bow of the ship, did not believe what he saw. www.biquge.info The reason why he didn't believe it was because he knew who the more than 300 horses on the ship were sold to.

It was sold to the Southern Rebels!

As a horse merchant, for Sun Tianen, there is no court or a chaotic army in his eyes, and he has always sold to whoever has money. For Sun Tianen, who has been in business for generations, the silver man is more important than the others, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to Dihua, where he would have bought good horses and sold them in the mainland.

But this time it was not as good as in the past, he just arrived in Tianjin, and more than half of the yards were taken away by the government at a low price, leaving all the mares that the government did not want, just when he looked at the silver tickets and wanted to cry without tears, so he bought all these mares, and used cash.

In addition, the horse buyer also talked to him about the future business, and in the future, he could exclusively supply his mares, and there was no limit to the number of them!

This time, the reason why he crossed the ocean from Tianjin and came to this Ezo was to open up this market, to be precise, to find out, to see if what the man said was true or false.

The Sun family has been running horses for several generations, and all they have missed is an opportunity, and now that such an opportunity is in front of him, how can he miss it.

"Sun Dongjia, you see, this is Xiangguan, out of Xiangguan City, tens of millions of acres of pastures to the north, those places are reserved for our righteous army to raise horses."

Pointing to the north, Li Chengfang said proudly.

As the military governor of Ezo, his most important task now was to revitalize the city, but this was obviously a bit difficult - the inhabitants of the city, in addition to a battalion of garrisons, were dozens of prostitutes from Japan, who had been bought from Japan by brothels.

It is precisely because of this that he is extremely attentive to businessmen, especially businessmen like Sun Tianen from China, who said that he is a horse merchant and came here to make money, but as long as there are merchants here, he will be prosperous one day.

Just like Sun Tianen, in addition to his quota of 20,000 horses, he is also responsible for bringing in 300 grooms, and horse merchants like him have a total of 20 people, and they will all bring grooms over this year and next year.

"It's that big?"

This time it was Sun Tianen's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a big pasture here. No wonder the man wanted so many horses?

"This is a barren land, and there are only a few thousand savages living there, but don't worry, those savages can't threaten the people you brought, my soldiers are here, if they dare to hurt one of us, I dare to take a hundred heads and let them pay for their lives!"

Noticing that Sun Tianen seemed to be a little worried when he heard him mention the wild man, Li Chengfang opened his mouth to comfort him, and then said with a smile.

"Sun Dongjia is not afraid of your jokes, in the eyes of others, these horsemen are not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of this official, they are the root of Tunkenken Ezo, do you know why you want homeless horsemen?"

Li Chengfang looked at Sun Tianen and asked,

"I think the adults are afraid that they will be dragged down by family affairs."

Not to mention the adult in front of him, even Sun Tianen himself does not want to use a family groom, this time the thirteen grooms who followed him from Xinjiang all the way to Tianjin are all without exception without family ties.

"Of course not!"

Shaking his head, Li Chengfang said with a smile.

"Why should they be afraid that they will have a family drag? The official was afraid that they would have a family in the hinterland, and the horses they had raised for a few years would want to leave here, so the official wanted to leave them all here. ”

"Leave them all here? How to stay? ”

These people aren't going to be forced to stay here, are they? If that's the case, you're guilty.

"Look at you, how can the official do that kind of thing of plundering people, the official wants them to stay here willingly."

At this time, a few Japanese prostitutes were soliciting business at the dock, and Li Chengfang smiled and pointed to the prostitutes in his hand and said.

"The official is going to use a woman to keep them here."

Because he is usually used to fighting with that group of big-headed soldiers, Li Chengfang has no scruples about this.

"Women?"

"That's right, it's a woman!"

Pointing towards Japan on the other side of the strait, Li Chengfang said with a smile.

"There are more than 30 million people on the other side of the strait, and everything in Japan is cheap, including women. I don't know how many Japanese people sell their daughters to human traffickers because of their poverty, and then they are sold by human traffickers to work as prostitutes in the city, and most of the prostitutes in this city are from this background......

Sun Tianen didn't think it was strange for this kind of thing, after all, he knew that it was common for him to sell his children and daughters because his family was poor, and it was not surprising that the Qing Dynasty and Japan were like this.

"That's why the official will name the horsemen who don't have families, as long as they are willing to stay in Ezo, the official is willing to pay money to help them buy a daughter-in-law to go home and wait for them, so that they can live and work here in peace and contentment......"

How to buy them a daughter-in-law?

Sun Tianen looked at the adult beside him in surprise, and wanted to leave those bachelors here by buying a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid he was still the first person. But if there is a daughter-in-law, those people ......

Looking at the horsemen he had invited, Sun Tianen believed that if they knew that there would be such a good thing, he would probably be at ease to settle down here and herd horses.

"That's a lot of money."

"Not much, not much, a talent is more than a dozen silver dollars, much cheaper than a horse!"

A talent of more than a dozen silver dollars!

Even if he was drunk and a little unconscious, Sun Tianen's mind was still thinking about a woman's more than a dozen silver dollars, and he didn't even know how he got back to the room. It seems that someone helped him into the room. Then he lay on the bed, his head had just touched the pillow, and the wine quickly came up, his eyelids were heavy, and it was not long before he fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, I suddenly had a spring dream, dreaming of a young girl, lying on top of me, stretching out a pair of tender little hands, stroking him nervously and astringently.

The girl's hair was very long, covering her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure was first-class, and her skin was shining with crystal luster, flawless, and extremely endearing.

Sun Tianen, who was being waited for like this, wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, and he wanted to reach out to hug the girl in his dreams, but his arm was sore, and he couldn't exert any strength, so he felt that he was a nightmare.

"Who is it?"

The girl in the quilt was obviously a little flustered, and her body trembled again, and after a while, she said in a stiff Chinese dialect in a childish childish voice:

"Yes, yes, it's me, Masami is here to serve Mr. on the orders of the adults!"

Zhengmei, who is Zhengmei?

This is not important, for Sun Tianen, everything that follows is wonderful, it can even be said to be wonderful, the body suddenly came with a strong stimulus, and there was even no psychological comfort, which made people even more confused, in the gentleness that he had never experienced, so that his desire and hope soon got an unprecedented satisfaction,

After everything was satisfied, Sun Tianen couldn't sleep, he looked at the roof, he could still feel the temperature of the girl's body around him, looking at the young body, imagining her gentleness, there was only one thought left in his mind.

"A dozen silver dollars, a dozen silver dollars!"

But it's only ten taels of silver!

How cheap is a woman! In China, a woman like this costs at least twenty taels, and Sun Tianen, as a businessman, immediately discovered a business opportunity - he wanted to empty the ship and return to Tianjin, if he brought a boatload of horses when he came, and a boatload of women when he returned, then he didn't know how much silver he could earn!

Over the years, Sun Tianen knows that in the north, many places are more people and less land, and people often drown babies in order to feed their families, and the drowning is basically a female baby, because boys can be passed on to the family, and raising daughters is a loss-making thing, so that there are more and more men in the countryside, and many young and strong men can't find a daughter-in-law at all, so that they are mixed up as singles and wander around, and ordinary people still don't look down on these singles.

If you take these Japanese girls back to China and sell them to those bachelors, you can earn ten taels per person, and this boat can hold at least 500 people, that is......

The more he calculated in his heart how much money a boat could make, the faster Sun Tianen's heart beated, and he knew that if an empty ship like this returned to Tianjin, as long as he talked about it well, he would definitely be able to negotiate the freight. If he can buy a large number of people like selling horses, he will definitely be able to keep the price down, and he will earn more than 5,000 taels at that time.

In this way, when you come, you can sell horses, and when you return, you can earn at least 10,000 taels of silver for a round trip. You only need to come five or six times a year, and it won't take three or four years for you to be able to raise your eyebrows, and when the time comes, who can compare to the Sun family in Dihua City?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Sun Tianen became, and when he looked at the Japanese girl who had fallen asleep next to him, he saw a woman full of temptation, which was clearly the silver of the activity.

"When the time comes, you can also open a brothel, yes, open a few in Tianjin, open a few in Beijing, open a few in Jinan, as well as Baoding, Taiyuan, Zhang Heng, open a brothel in the country, obediently, what kind of horse will you sell when the time comes, there are these Japanese little ladies making money in the garden, are you still worried about not being able to earn money......

Sun Tianen, who was getting more and more excited, looked at the little woman beside him, hugged the woman on his body with both hands, and stared at her who was awakened with a pant breath and said.

"Wake up and wait for Uncle Ben!"

The girl has become accustomed to this kind of life, and when she woke up from the dream, her movements became more and more gentle and skillful, and her body was shaking gently, Sun Tianen, who could no longer bear it, raised her head and hummed softly, but despite this, there were still two words in his mind...... Silver. (To be continued.) )
