Xu Huang agreed to the request of the head of the Zhao family, and Tian Cejun was not afraid that the landlords of the party would repay their debts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info3,000 horses consume forage every day, and if you get it out earlier, you can save more food and grass.

Qin Yi began to negotiate the price of the horses with these shrewd family owners, and after some bargaining, the landlords agreed to set the price of the part of the horses that deducted the price of grain at the level of 55,000 yuan, which was 5,000 more than Qin Yi expected.

After setting the price of the horse, Qin Yi had to negotiate the price of grain with these landlords and tycoons. After some discussion, they sold it to the Tiance army at a price of 550 yuan a stone for high-quality rice, 430 yuan a stone for high-quality millet rice, and 320 yuan a stone for high-quality corn.

This grain price has risen somewhat from the normal harvest years in the past, but it is also cheap compared to the grain on the black market, which is as high as 800 yuan a stone.

This kind of thing of bargaining is also suitable for Qin Yi, and the civil officials in Tiance Mansion who cherish their reputation can't pull this face.

Once the price of horses and grain has been negotiated, the first step of the transaction can be carried out. Each family reported the type and amount of grain to be sold to the Tiance Army to Qin Yi in detail, and Qin Yi then converted the price and determined the number of horses that each family could get on the spot.

Chen Shi whispered to Qin Yi that the amount of grain reported by each family this time was 20% more than the last time he was in the Hyun family's Chen family. Qin Yi didn't care about this, because only he knew that the extra two percent of the grain was actually earned for nothing! Because the price of horses was higher than originally estimated, and the price of grain was actually a little lower than his estimate. As a result, the number of horses that ended up being used to offset food did not increase.

After the negotiation, Xu Huang told these family owners that they could take people who knew horses into the camp to choose horses the next morning, and arrange them according to the number of grains sold by each family, starting from the trumpet each time, and selecting five horses at a time, and then selecting the second round after the first round, and so on, until each family selected enough horses, they could take the horses home and start preparing to transport grain to the West River.

There was no objection to this arrangement, and they felt that it was fair. The first to choose horses is a large grain seller, who has made a great contribution to the Tiance Army, and it is understandable that he has such a small privilege. Anyway, the number of horses is enough, even if you can choose a horse again, you can only choose five horses in a round, maybe because of the problem of vision, it is better to choose the horse selected by the person who is behind!

After these family owners left the temporary camp and went to stay in Huguan City, Xu Huang discussed with Qin Yi and selected 1,000 horses from the 3,000 horses for sale, and temporarily handed them over to the cavalry in the rear camp to take care of, so that there would be 2,000 horses left to choose tomorrow. The main reason for this is that they are worried that these shrewd landlords will have too poisonous eyes, and they will choose all the better horses, and the remaining ones will not sell well.

Although these 3,000 horses have been strictly screened when they leave the stone, and there are basically no high-quality horses mixed in, horses, which are spiritual animals, are the most difficult to match, and each horse cannot be completely compared with other horses. That's why it's not uncommon for someone to let go of a good horse and someone to choose a bad horse.

The 1,000 horses that were selected were selected according to the average, which was on par with the overall standard of the other 2,000. When the time comes to sell them separately, if these landlords still want to buy them at a high price, it can be seen that the Tiance Army is not secretly playing tricks and leaving the best horses to sell, which is beneficial to the positive image of the Tiance Army insisting on fair trade.

Early the next morning, the landlords of the Shangdang led people into the camp to select horses, and according to the set rules, everyone held the number plate in their hands and looked at the large number of war horses from a distance in the waiting area and drooled.

In the first place is Qiao Ling, a large landowner near Qianmuju, who sold 10,000 stone of grain to the Tiance Army at a parity this time. Thousands of acres are gathered in the upper reaches of Qinshui, and there are more fertile fields, so the grain production is abundant.

Qiao Purlin showed the number plate symbolizing his status to the guards guarding the entrance, and then brought two specially invited horse masters to help him choose his horse.

"Master Qiao, there is a recipe for choosing a horse. This looks at a piece of skin from afar, and at close look at the limbs and hooves. Look at the chest width in the front and the buttocks in the back. When the waist is pinched, the nose is pinched and squeezed. Shaking in front of his eyes, he opened his mouth to look carefully...... We two brothers are guaranteed to choose a good horse for you today! ”

"Then there are two Master Laohu! If you can choose a good horse, the Qiao family will be grateful! ”

Because of the tight time, Qiao Ling only stayed in the horse pen for a short time, and according to the instructions of the two horse masters, he brought out five Hetao horses of similar height and color.

"Master Qiao, congratulations, you have chosen such a good horse!"

"Master Qiao, why did you choose five horses of similar colors?"

The heads of the families waiting outside stepped forward to congratulate and inquire.

Qiao Ling explained to everyone: "Fortunately, Tiance Army took care of me, so I had the opportunity to come and choose horses in person, these five horses are for the Qiao family's own use, so choose the same color." ”

After hearing this, everyone became more anxious, and they just wanted to go in and choose as soon as possible.

Human psychology is like this, once there is a comparison with each other, it begins to become impatient and blind, and the original calm mind will disappear.

The process of selecting horses lasted almost a day, and Xu Huang did not urge everyone, considering that the temporary camp was set up outside the city and there were no food shops nearby, Xu Huang also sent soldiers to bring lunch to these family owners, which can be described as patient and thoughtful.

When it was almost dark, the families finally chose their horses, and they were all satisfied. Anyway, the people who help choose the horses will have all kinds of formulas and reasons to fool these family owners, so that they can be convinced that they have chosen the best.

Xu Huang took out 2,000 horses for people to choose from, and in the end there were 320 left. Qin Yi entered the empty horse pen and took a closer look, and found that these family owners were still quite powerful, and the three hundred and twenty horses left behind were relatively poor in terms of appearance, actual weight and running speed.

Since everyone knows the goods, it's the best. Then when you sell the 1,000 horses at the market price, you can make an extra profit!

After the families had picked their horses, it was supposed that they should leave on their own, but they stayed near the camp gate, wanting to inquire from Xu Huang and Qin Yi about how the remaining 1,000 horses were sold.

Qin Yi had already made it very clear that the horses used to deduct the grain payment were actually a reward for the Tiance Army to the big farmers who actively sold grain in Shangdang counties, so the price was set lower, but the rest of the horses should be sold according to the market price, as for what the market price is, it is necessary to refer to the horse prices in Jizhou and Sili and other places.

Although these landlords who refused to disperse had no surplus food in their homes, they still had gold and copper coins! It's rare to see a chance to buy a horse in a big box like this, and if you miss it, you don't know when you want to buy it again in the future.

Horses can pull carts, ride, plough land, carry goods, and carry their masters to escape when war comes.
