Chapter 500: Dominate the Crowd
Qufu has always been peaceful, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not right. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the sixth year of Zhengde, Liu Liu and Liu Qi's uprising really broke Qufu, and they burned Qufu City. But after Liu Liu and Liu Qi were finished, Zhengde immediately rebuilt Qufu City. And this time the scale is much larger than in the previous dynasty. The descendants of Confucius have always been respected, although Emperor Zhengde likes to have fun and does not do business, but he is not ambiguous about the descendants of Confucius and attaches great importance to them.
Qufu is in the southwest direction of Shandong, connecting Surabaya in the east, Yanzhou in the west, Zou Cheng in the south, and Mount Tai in the north.
Qin Li and the others entered Qufu City in the evening and found an inn to stay and rest. That night, I heard the livestock market in Qufu clearly. 1369 is the big set of Qufu, it is the most lively time in Qufu, and it is also the time when there are the most livestock in the livestock market.
There was nothing to say all night, but coincidentally, tomorrow was the twenty-third day of the first month, and Qin Li and the others got up early. Fifty servants were arranged to rest at the inn, Yu Dayou and Zhou Fan Dahu were arranged to buy seeds, and he and Murong Bing walked to the cattle market.
Although Qin Li is now a prefect and a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, Qin Li has never had the habit of wearing official uniforms. Besides, this time I came to buy livestock, and there was no need to wear official uniforms. Imagine a prefect going to a dirty cattle market, what would it become, and it would be a joke to spread the word. Besides, if the seller really knew that he was the prefect, who would dare to do business with him. Although there are many big merchants in Qufu, there are still no one who wants to deal with the officials.
So this time, Qin Li was just wearing the outfit of an ordinary merchant, wearing a green cloth robe and a square scarf on his head. Of course, his outfit was just the dress of a small merchant, and it was always a little shabby.
Murong Bing is a woman dressed as a man.
After all, this is a livestock market, and it is inconvenient for a woman's house. Although she was dressed as a man, Murong Bing's red lips and white teeth, and her fresh face still couldn't hide it. Walking with Qin Li made Qin Li inferior to a large extent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Murong Bing, which made Qin Li a little embarrassed, and smiled and joked, "Bing'er, are you the boss, or is your father-in-law the boss?" ”
"Giggles, no way, who told some people to stumble a little!" Murong Bing smiled disappreciatively.
It's really strange to say, Qin Li is also a talent, but he looks like a businessman, how can he look a little nondescript, how can he look a little philistine.
"Humph! Next time I come out with my own minister, if you dress up like this again, don't come out at all. Xianggong doesn't want people to take away the host! Qin Li said with a smile.
The two talked and laughed all the way to the livestock market.
The livestock market is located in the north of Qufu and is one of the most extensive venues. It was still early, and there were no buyers in the huge livestock market except for thousands of cows, horses, donkeys and mules.
The two walked slowly, watching as they went. Qin Li has been crossing the Ming Dynasty for nearly two years, and he has ridden many horses, but he still doesn't know much about livestock. What kind of livestock is suitable for farming, and what kind of livestock can only do foot strength, Qin Li really can't judge. However, Murong Bing has been a female bandit in Di Dao for a long time, and she has come into contact with more people and all kinds of people, and she has more contact with horses, but she has a little research on livestock.
The people of the huge Hejian Mansion are now poor and clanging, and it is absolutely impossible to say that every household can have livestock this time. After all, the Hejian Mansion doesn't have that much silver. This time, I just want to buy back more female livestock, so that the people can have a few or dozens of households with a mouthful of livestock, and everyone can raise and use it together. When the people of Hejian became rich, the help and support of the government and county government were on the one hand, and more importantly, it still depended on the people's own hard work and hard work.
Walking around the market among all kinds of livestock, Qin Li and Murong Bing had a preliminary understanding of this market. At this time, there were more and more people in the cattle market, and the people who sold their cattle or only a few animals brought them to the market to sell, and some of them were big merchants who specialized in the cattle business, and they were resident in the market, and they had thousands of cattle in their hands.
The same is true for those who sell livestock, there are small traders and peddlers who just buy a few livestock, and there are ordinary people who have a few surplus money in their hands and want to buy a mouthful of livestock and use it in the fields. Of course, there are also people who sell cattle on a large scale, who come from all over the Anu country, collect cattle from here, and then sell them to other places to make a profit. After all, this market in Qufu is the largest livestock market in Daming.
Qin Li came out this time and brought 130,000 taels of silver. 10,000 taels of silver were used to buy seeds, and the remaining 120,000 taels were intended to be used to buy all the livestock. Naturally, these silvers were copied from the treasure house in Li Kuan's house in Suning Zhixian County. If it weren't for Li Kuan's hoarding and being an authentic miser, Qin Li really wouldn't dare to imagine that there were no people in Qufu to buy livestock. It is said that although this Li Kuan is a scourge to the people for a while, it is also a disguised way to save the time for the people of Hejian to get rich.
The young couple stopped in front of the largest livestock merchant in the northwest corner of the market. They had been observing for a while, and it was possible that there should be no less than 3,000 heads of cattle in this place, and according to Murong Bing, it was all used to cultivate the fields. If all of this is bought, it is estimated that Qin Li's task of buying livestock this time will be half completed.
After a few rounds around the merchants, the more he looked at Murong Bing, the more satisfied he became. She nodded lightly at Qin Li and said softly, "Xianggong, have you seen it, the guys in the store always look at me!" You're now a little henchman! ”
If it weren't for Murong Bing's disguise as a man, seeing that guy focus on Murong Bing several times, Qin Li would have already become angry, maybe he would have already fought against those guys.
Qin Li is not a stingy person, but no matter how atmospheric a person is, he can't stand other men glancing at his women.
Qin Li grinned, and then walked over generously, "Shopkeeper, what is the price of these animals?" Qin Li's voice was not small, and his almost roaring voice scared a few guys.
A few guys then set their eyes on him. When they saw that Qin Li was dressed ordinarily, they knew at a glance that he was not a big buyer. One of the short men randomly scolded, "What roar? You roared that the cattle would not eat grass, and you could afford to pay for it? ”
Boom! Why does the master buy a livestock, he has to suffer from the nest.
Qin Li secretly complained bitterly, but Murong Bing couldn't help but laugh. Murong Bing shook it step by step, and asked very disdainfully, "Tell me, what is the price of this livestock?" (To be continued.) )
