Xu Huang told the Shangdang landlords and tycoons who were guarding the camp gate that the remaining 1,000 or so horses would be sold in ten days, and that the time vacated in the middle would be reserved for the families to prepare the goods they needed for trading, and the specific price of the horses would definitely rise.

Huguan County is located in the middle of Shangdang County, and ten days is enough for the heads of each family to go back and forth. Ten days is enough time to spread the news and let people who want to buy horses rush to Huguan County.

Because there was ten days to prepare, the heads of each family took the horses they had picked up and went home in no hurry, and discussed with the clansmen by the way to see if they would spend a high price to buy some horses from the Tiance Army.

The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Wei, had a very personal relationship with Chen Shi, so he quietly asked Chen Shi why the Chen family did not choose a horse this time, and Chen Shi told Zhao Wei that the Chen family had already joined the Tiance Army as a whole clan, and when they needed to use horses in the future, they would provide it free of charge, so there was no need to compete with each family for horses.

Zhao Wei asked Chen Shi if the horses sold behind him were better than the ones they had selected earlier, and Chen Shi told the truth, saying that the quality and condition of the horses sold later were similar to those of the previous two thousand horses for people to choose, and some of them were better and some were bad, but the overall situation was definitely better than that of civilian chariots and horses.

Zhao Yan had a bottom in his heart, and hurriedly returned to his clan with the selected horse. There is one thing he didn't tell Chen Shi, that is, there is a group of horse buyers from Jizhou living in the Zhao family's manor recently, and they have a lot of money, and it is said that they want to buy some horses that can be used as war horses for the people in the county to go back, so as to protect the territory and the people, and prevent nearby bandits and bandits.

Zhao Wei's family is in Lu County, only forty miles away from Huguan County, one hundred miles east from Lu County, through Fukou Cheng, you can reach Sheguo County in Wei County, Jizhou. Bingzhou and Jizhou both belonged to the Zhao State with strong cavalry during the Warring States Period, and many Han people in the territory had the same surname as King Wuling of Zhao.

The group of horse buyers living in Zhao Wei's manor are from Zhending County, Jizhou, and they not only have the same surname as Zhao Wei, but also do have a kinship, and they have been moving around with each other. The horse master who helped Zhao Yu choose the horse was from Zhending, and he was also brought from Jizhou by the horse buyer.

Zhao Wei and the horse master returned to the Zhao family manor in Lu County with forty-five selected horses, and the horse buyers in the village gathered around to watch the horses.

"Master Zhao, congratulations, these selected horses are all Yinshan horses with good endurance!"

"Yes, these horses are said to be Xianbei horses captured from the battlefield after the Tiance Army defeated the Xianbei people!"

"Master Zhao, can you sell some of these horses to us, I promise not to let you suffer!"

Zhao Wei explained to these horse buyers: "I hurried back with my horse to tell you good news!" The total number of horses brought by the Tiance army from Lishi this time is 3,000, of which 2,000 have almost been chosen, and there are still 1,000 horses left, and the condition is the same as the one I brought back. You want to buy fifty horses this time, even if I am willing to put out some, I can't make up the number, so it's better to go to Huguan and directly find Tiance Army to buy horses! ”

The horse buyers discussed with each other and felt that what Zhao Yu said was also reasonable. As long as the price of the horses here is not as high as that of Jizhou, and the quality of the horses is like the one brought back by Zhao Wei, it is worth buying directly from the Tiance Army. They elected a leader named Zhao Feng, and he and four other people carried the gold to buy horses, and went to Huguan with Zhao Wei, deciding whether to buy horses or not, and how many horses to buy, depending on the situation.

The reason why these horse buyers did not go with them was also because they were worried that because there were too many people, their identity as Jizhou horse buyers would be discovered, and then the price of the horses would be raised on the spot.

Zhao Feng is about twenty-seven or eight years old, tall and burly, usually less verbal, but calm and cautious, and is very popular among horse buyers, and is quite respected. He came to Zhao Wei to discuss, and wanted to pick a few horses to ride first, the time was three days, and the distance was between Lu County and Hyun's family, Zhao Wei generously agreed.

Zhao Feng then took a few young men in the village who could ride a horse, and one of them rode a Xianbei horse, starting from Lu County, according to the normal marching speed of the cavalry, heading towards the Hyun clan, and would rest regularly on the way, and give the horse water and feeding.

Three days later, Zhao Feng rode back to the Zhao family's manor. He told the rest of the horse buyers that the horses sold by the Tiance Army could be used as war horses, but they were not the best horses among the Xianbei war horses, and if the price was cheap, they could buy enough at one time, and if the price was too expensive, they would simply go to Yanmen County to see if they could buy suitable horses from there.

No one objected to Zhao Feng's opinion from the horse buyers, they came to Shangdang from Zhending this time, and the price of horses in Bingzhou was much cheaper than that in Jizhou, if there was no such cheapness, it would be better to take a little risk and then go north, and go to Yanmen County to see if they could directly trade with the Xianbei people.

On the day when the Tiance Army sold horses, there were many people in Huguan City who were ready to buy horses with goods. Because it was sold publicly, there were not only landlords from the previous period, but also merchants who were trading nearby, as well as small families with a little more solid family who wanted to see if they could pick the remaining horses of others at a cheap price.

According to the notice posted by the Tiance Army, the 1,320 horses for public sale were divided into three grades, of which 400 were good horses, each priced at 80,000 yuan; 600 horses, each priced at 65,000 yuan; The rest were flat horses, each priced at 45,000 yuan and sold out.

This transaction is no longer numbered, but divided into three rounds according to the price, and those who are willing to spend a high price to buy a good horse are ranked in the first round, and they sign up and pay the money in a unified manner. Whether you want to buy 20 horses or just one, you can sign up, and when the time comes, you can go into the horse pen together to choose, each person can only pick one horse at a time, those who buy more stay and continue to pick, and those who only buy one horse leave immediately. And so on, until the quota of 400 picks is exhausted, you can enter the second round of selling horses.

The price of the three types of horses set by Tiance Army is quite fair, and it is indeed a little higher than the last time, but the increase is not black enough to scare people away. In particular, the price of Pingma has been reduced by 10,000 yuan! The specific sales process is more fair, there is no deliberate distinction between more money and less money, anyway, those who buy a horse and those who buy dozens of horses go into the horse circle to choose horses, but those who buy more can pick a few more times in it.

In addition, there is another point that is more clever or ingenious is that the Tiance Army did not divide the horses in advance, but more than a thousand horses were all locked together, and those who paid more money only had the opportunity to choose first, and those who paid less money definitely had a lower chance of picking a good horse than before, but it was not a complete no chance. Anyway, each horse's face will not be marked with good, medium, and flat marks, who dares to say that the one left by someone must be a flat horse?

When Zhao Feng saw the notice, he frowned. Because the rules for selling horses set by the Tiance Army are very unfavorable to the real horse buyers he represents!
