Liu Feng just asked the questions he was concerned about, while Xu Tian thought that this was an assessment of Liu Feng's staff under his account. The heart is naturally solemn.

However, he went to Hanzhong two years ago, although he stayed for a few months. But after all, it's been a long time, and some things have changed.

For example, war horses, Xu Zheng is an official who manages baggage, and Xu Tian is Xu Zheng's younger brother, of course, he knows that Jingzhou is currently short of horses, let alone Jingzhou, and there is a shortage of horses in places south of the Yangtze River.

And now the war horses can only flow from Liangzhou to Hanzhong, and then reach Jingzhou, as well as Yizhou, Jiangdong.

There are countless interests involved, and the horse dealers account for the second, and the majority is Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu. Through this trade route, Zhang Lu definitely made a lot of money.

And Zhang Lu has a grudge against Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and the war horses can hardly flow to Yizhou. Therefore, the price of war horses in Yizhou is the most expensive. The second is Jiangdong, because the war horses are often bought by Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, when they pass through Jingzhou. Very few people can sell horses through Jingzhou to Jiangdong.

Therefore, Jingzhou's war horses are the cheapest of the three places in the south.

But cheap is only relative, two years ago the war horse needed six gold each, and now in the Xiangyang generation, it has been sold for ten gold.

After a deep groan in his heart, Xu Tian sorted out what he knew in his heart and told Liu Feng.

Of course, Liu Feng felt disappointed, he now had a huge sum of 1,000 gold, and he was ambitious to buy hundreds of horses, but he didn't expect that 1,000 gold could only buy 100 war horses.

Thinking about it this way, it is completely unrealistic to spend all the gold to buy a war horse.

Gotta turn a thousand gold into ten thousand gold, a hundred thousand gold.

Although Xu Tian next to him was the younger brother of a heavy official, Liu Feng didn't expect him to help achieve this feat of doubling his property tenfold.

If he had this talent, he would have looked for other ways long ago, and would not have gone to him.

It would be difficult for him to insist on handing over the impossible task to him. It is a taboo under the ruler.

In the past three years, Liu Feng studied Han Feizi, Zuo Chuan, Liutao, etc.

"You'll be in charge of the finances from now on." It can be regarded as having a little understanding of Xu Tian's talents, considering that he is Xu Zheng's younger brother, and it is a family tradition to be in charge of money. Liu Feng said to Xu Tian.

"Live up to the expectations of the major general." Xu Tian's heart was shocked, and he immediately raised his fist.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded, no longer talking to Xu Tian, but looked up at the west.

To make money, you need to take your time to buy horses, and put it aside. Now recruiting soldiers is still the top priority, and this time to the west is the direction that Liu Feng deliberately selected.

Liu Fengke has never forgotten that there is also a small famous general in Dengjia Village.

It's been three years, because of Gan's warning back then. Liu Feng had never been in contact with Deng Ai, but the bamboo slips and meat were all personally inquired about by the Gan family after a period of time, and someone was sent over.

I haven't seen him for three years, and that kid should be full of learning, and he eats meat all year round, and he looks very strong. Although he was only about ten years old.

Liu Feng was extremely looking forward to Deng Ai in his heart.

It doesn't matter if you're young, as long as you have a developed mind. The children of this era are in charge of the family at a very young age, and there are many people who marry at the age of thirteen, and they can hold up half the sky at the age of ten.

With this extremely strong expectation, Liu Feng and the others walked fifty miles to the outside of Dengjia Village.

It is no different from the memory of three years ago, it was two days in this area, and the people were very healthy and lived a life of ploughing and returning.

"Major General, there are one hundred and thirty households in Deng Village, two hundred and thirty-five strong men, if it can be successful, more than ten soldiers may be recruited." Zhang Dao said softly. He knew the destination of today, and of course he had studied it carefully.

"Set up camp here, and you can take care of the rest yourself. I'll go to the village first. "Of course, recruiting is important, but for Liu Feng, Deng Ai is more important, not to mention that there are people under him, there is no need to do it yourself. Liu Feng gave Zhang Dao an order, and immediately rode his horse towards the village.

Riding the dark cloud horse, he walked slowly for a while. Liu Feng found the courtyard in his memory.

Three years ago, the Zhumen was mottled, and three years later it is still in tatters.

Smiling, Liu Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, and then quietly waited for the master to come out and open the door.

Soon a beautiful woman opened the door from within, fair-skinned, upright, and with a hint of weakness on her body.

"I haven't seen you for three years, how is ma'am?" Liu Feng smiled and raised his fist to the Deng family.

looked at the Liu Feng in front of him, who was very similar to his impression, but didn't seem to be the same person. Deng Shi was in a trance for a while, and after taking a closer look, he found that the person in his impression had grown up.

I was just a teenager back then, but now I'm a young man.

Back then, it was this person who changed the fate of their mother and son. Since then, Deng Ai has been studying every time he has meat to eat, because he is healthy and can help nearby people herd cattle to subsidize his family.

Their mothers and sons are getting better and better day by day.

After a moment's trance, Deng Shi showed a happy smile, bent over and saluted: "It turned out to be the young general." ”

"Madame, please." Liu Feng held his hands and said with a smile.

Deng Shi straightened his waist according to his words, looked at Liu Feng, and said with an apologetic smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, and the young general is very different from the past, so the little woman took a look and asked the young general not to blame." ”

"Fifteen years of the year, eighteen of this year. It's time to grow your body. It's human nature that Madame can't recognize her for a while, so how can I be surprised. Liu Feng naturally wouldn't blame the Deng family for some trivial things.

Saying that, Liu Feng looked into the courtyard and asked with some urgency, "Where is Deng Ai?" ”

"He's herding cattle for someone else's house outside, and he won't come back until noon, so the young general will come and sit down first." Deng shook his head and said, then invited.

Liu Feng smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and he was in an urgent mood, but he forgot about Deng Ai for a while.

Although he has not seen Deng Ai's mother and son over the years, Liu Feng pays a lot of attention to their mother and son, knows their family's family background, and knows that Deng Ai herds cattle for life.

Liu Feng not only did not stop this matter, but felt happy.

The so-called poor produce great talents. In history, Deng Ai once let people go for cattle, farmed fields, and worked as a small official and a small official. It has not been reused for more than ten years.

It was those years that sharpened Deng Ai's heart and made his surname extremely tenacious.

Therefore, Deng Ai herded cattle for people, and it was not a bad thing but a good thing to endure hardships.

"Nag ma'am." Liu Feng smiled and raised his fist.

"Your guests are coming, how can you say it's nagging, young general, please." Deng Shi smiled slightly, missed his body and made way for Liu Feng to enter.

Liu Feng entered the Deng Mansion at the invitation of the Deng family.
