Since Li Xian's people can't tame it, and no one under his command can tame the horses, Zhu Youzhen is ready to do it himself. He had a vague feeling that this was a rare good horse, and the more difficult it was to tame, the stronger the horse's legs became.

Zhu Youzhen used his magic skills to form an aura around his body to protect himself. "Li Dongzhu, let me try to see if I can tame this 'snow and fire'."

"Guest officer, there have been three horse trainers who fell off its back, broke their legs, and left the horse training business forever." Li Xian didn't underestimate Zhu Youzhen, but professional horse trainers didn't conquer the 'snow and fire', can this young boy be tamed?

Wang Mujiu also came to Zhu Youzhen's side: "Son, no." ”

Zhu Youzhen whispered in Wang Mujiu's ear: "Don't worry, I have divine power to protect my body, and I won't be injured." ”

"Guest officer, why don't I sell you 'Snow Fire' first, how to tame it, and the guest officer will do it?" Lee Hyun didn't want a fourth trainer with a broken leg on Snow Fire.

Hehe, Li Xian is trying to shirk the responsibility for safety. Zhu Youzhen didn't care, "Please ask Li Dongzhu to make a price." ”

"Eighty taels." Lee Hyun spreads his thumb and forefinger.

"Eighty taels?" Zhu Youzhen couldn't believe his ears, how could such a precious 'snow fire' only be worth eighty taels? Now an ordinary war horse has a market price of eighty taels, and there is no market price, so it would be good to buy one hundred taels.

"Guest officer, to be honest, I have lost a lot of money on this horse, and I don't expect to make money now, so I will pay the price when I bought it." Li Xian didn't know why he told the truth in front of this young man, he just had a feeling that this young man was different from ordinary businessmen, and he couldn't tell what was different.

"Okay, then I'll borrow Li Dongzhu's horse market for use." Zhu Youzhen slowly approached the 'Snow Fire', and the divine skills around his body were already pressing towards the 'Snow Fire'.

'Xue Huo' may have sensed something unusual, it tilted its head to look at Zhu Youzhen, then shook its ears, and its long tail flicked two rattles in the air.

"Beware, guest officer!" Li Xianbi stretched out his right hand and wanted to stop Zhu Youzhen again, but he didn't make a move in the end, he was more nervous than Zhu Youzhen now.

Zhu Youzhen is still approaching, and he is only one step away from 'Snow Fire'.

'Xue Huo' did not show a new disgust, and Zhu Youzhen did not forcibly step on the horse's back like a horse trainer. He stretched out his right hand and soothed it from the horse's mane to the horse's back, and from the horse's back to the horse's hips, and the divine power had been thrown into the body of 'Snow Fire'.

'Snow and Fire' remained motionless, and all the senses seemed to be closed at once.

Zhu Youzhen wiped it twice, and saw that 'Xuehuo' was not disgusted, so he took the reins from Xiao Er's hand, stepped on the saddle with one foot, and the wind rushed onto the horse's back.

'Snow Fire' just shook his head, as if shaking off the dew that was not on his head.

Zhu Youzhen shook the reins, and the 'snow fire' slowly moved under the traction of the reins, and his posture was as elegant as a dressage in the Olympic Games.

Li Xian's eyes had already widened, but this time he didn't shout, as if he had forgotten the shout.

"Drive!" Zhu Youzhen clamped the horse's belly and issued an order to speed up the movement.

'Snow and Fire' also raised their hooves and ran on Li Xian's horse market.

The horse market is not much smaller than the authentic horse training factory, but there are many horse sheds in the way, and Zhu Youzhen still can't let the 'snow and fire' exert the maximum energy.

"Woo ......", after trotting a few laps, Zhu Youzhen slowly let the 'snow fire' stop. Xuehuo' didn't seem to be having fun, it raised its head, looked up to the sky and roared, the snow-white ponytail shook twice, its head turned back again, and rubbed it twice on Zhu Youzhen's thigh before it stopped steadily, really standing like a pine.

Zhu Youzhen turned over and dismounted, patted 'Xuehuo' on the neck, and then handed over the reins to Wang Mujiu.

"Guest?" Li Xian only came to his senses now, "This 'snow fire' seems to be born for the guest officer, rush here, and give it to the guest officer today." "He is now as interested in people as Zhu Youzhen is much more interested in people than in silver for horses.

"Haha, Li Dongzhu, how embarrassing is this? This is a famous horse! Zhu Youchao and Li Xianyi arched his hand.

"It's about making friends." Li Xian also returned the salute, "By the way, until now, Li has not asked the guest official Gao for his name." ”

"Well said." Zhu Youzhen also looked up at the sky, "Proprietor Li, it's noon now, why don't we find a restaurant, let me be the host, let's talk while drinking?" ”

"Okay, then Dengyun Tower, it's not cheap there, I want the guest officer to spend more silver, and also make some contribution to Shaanxi's taxes, haha, haha."

The two walked side by side, and Zhu Youzhen asked, "Proprietor Li, does this Dengyun Tower also pay taxes?" ”

"What the guest officer said, which shop in Xi'an does not pay taxes? Even my horse market is taxable. Li Xian was ready to befriend Zhu Youzhen, and regarded him as a friend from the bottom of his heart, and he also regained his usual boldness.

"Won't the merchants object?" Zhu Youzhen guessed that from tax exemption to tax payment, merchants must have a painful process.

"Of course not. At the beginning, the merchants collectively went to various yamen in Shaanxi to make trouble, but Lord Sun personally came forward to explain, and there were soldiers watching behind to support, and the people in Shaanxi at that time were indeed without food, so the merchants slowly got used to it. "Li Xian is also elegant, just like the 'snow and fire' just now.

"Will the merchants in Shaanxi move to other places? Nearby provinces are not taxable. "Merchants have always avoided taxes, and if Shaanxi's merchants move to other provinces on a large scale, then Zhu Youzhen's plan to rejuvenate the country through industry will be discounted in Shaanxi.

"There are too few such people after all. First, it is not easy to develop a new market, and second, Sun Daren personally came forward to ensure that in addition to paying taxes, the government will protect the interests of merchants. In other words, the businessman only used the money that he used to honor the officials to pay taxes, and did not increase his spending much. This Lord Sun is really a rare good official! Li Xian laughed.

Zhu Youzhen nodded slowly, no matter how good this policy is, in the final analysis, there must be someone to implement it. If those who implement it will read the scriptures crookedly, no matter how good the policy is, it will be in vain.

They had already walked to Dengyun Tower, and Zhu You found that he had five entourages, but Li Xian was alone, "Li Dongzhu, why didn't you bring an entourage?" ”

"Haha, on my territory, will I still worry that the guest officer will eat me? This Dengyun Building is not bad for cooking raw materials. Li Xian smiled self-deprecatingly again.

"Haha......" Zhu Youzhen also laughed, "Mu Jiu, you find a place to eat by yourself, and come back in an hour." ”

"Childe......" Wang Mujiu hesitated.

"Don't worry, Xi'an is not a place to eat people, I want to talk to Li Dongzhu alone."

"Yes, Childe." Wang Mujiu bowed down and left Dengyun Tower with the four of them.

Xiao Er greeted the door: "Proprietor Li, but do you want a private room?" How many are there? ”

"Old place. Two people. "Li Xian's words are like gold.

"Okay. Li Dongzhu, please come with me. Xiao Er invited Li Xian and Zhu Youzhen to a small room by the window on the south side of the second floor.

"Little Er, make a good pot of tea." Li Xian was obviously very familiar with this cloud building.

"Yes, proprietor." Xiao Er closed the door and went out, and came in again after a while, with a delicate white jade pot and two white jade cups on the tray in his hand. "The proprietor, this guest officer, what do you want to use? Small good to arrange. ”

"Xiao Er, add a few more of your specialty dishes, this guest officer is a rich man, don't save him." Li Xian also glanced at Zhu Youzhen.

"Okay, let's prepare for the small ones, and use them slowly." Xiao Er brought it to the door.

Li Xian looked at Zhu Youzhen and smiled silently.

"But proprietor Li wants to ask me about the origin of my name?" Zhu Youzhen also smiled.

Li Xian picked up the white jade pot, poured a cup of tea for Zhu Youzhen first, and then poured himself a cup as well, "If it's inconvenient for the guest officer to say, don't force it." ”

"It's nothing, I promise, when I leave this house, I'll give you the answer you want. Now, allow me to keep a little secret. ”

"Okay, son, let's fall in love, first replace the wine with tea, and go one."

"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youzhen and Li Xian touched their cups. "Li Dongzhu, I not only admire Li Dongzhu's boldness, but also admire Li Dongzhu personally went to Yaerqiang and other places, where it is thousands of miles away from Daming!"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just begging for a living in these places."

"Proprietor Li, can you introduce Yarkand?" Zhu Youzhen finally got to the point.

"What does the guest officer know about Yarkand? Has the guest officer been to Yarkand? Li Xian's hand picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

"To be honest, I have never been to Yarkand, and all I know about Yarkand is that it is a country founded by the descendants of the Mongols." Zhu Youzhen didn't lie, he only knew that Yarkand was the southern frontier of the later generations, around the Taklamakan Desert.

"How did the guest officer know about Yarkand? Could it be that someone in the family is doing business there? Li Xian's body leaned against Zhu Youzhen.

"No, don't worry, no one in my family is doing business in Yarkand, and no one will do business in the future." Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to dispel Li Xian's concerns.

"Oh, then let me briefly talk about Yarkand! It is true that Yarkand was founded by Mongol descendants, but most of the inhabitants of Yarkand are not Mongols, but white people called Aryans, who are blue-eyed and red-haired, and very different from our Han Chinese. ”

"Oh, so are they religious?"

"Faith, it turned out to be all white religions, and in recent years, black religions have also risen in Yarkand, and the two sides are fighting fiercely for the people, and there will even be armed conflicts." Speaking of this, Li Xian also looked thoughtful, and he didn't know if he was also involved in religious disputes in Yarkand.

"White Sect? Black Cult? "Zhu Youzhen is puzzled, when did these unknown religions appear here?

"Actually, both the White and the Black religions believe in Allah, but they are different sects." Li Xian also did not know much about religion, and in order to avoid causing trouble, he tried his best to avoid contradictions with various sects.

"I see." Zhu You understood that it was no wonder that there were always rebellions in southern Xinjiang in later generations, and it turned out that white people and their religion had long taken root in southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years. "And what about the further west of Yarkand? Does Dawan still have zài? And what about Bukhara and Kazakhstan? "The history of Central Asia is too complicated, and the integration and division of various nationalities is a matter of time or time, and there is no special person to study it.
