Early the next morning, Huo Guang walked out of the door with a pair of red eyes, and as soon as he went out, he saw two young girls standing in front of the door. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" (Pingnan Romance)

"Childe is up, please wait a moment, the slave will go to fetch water for Childe and wash his face." One of the girls said as a slave, and then trotted away. Huo Guang found that these two little girls were the same age as himself, and they were just wearing ordinary linen clothes, and they could only be regarded as handsome, so that they were not like a random maid who came out like Zhong was a beauty embryo.

Huo Guang is not surprised by this, it is estimated that these two little girls are the maids who arrange to serve themselves, after all, the Huo family is now a big family, not to mention that there is a champion Hou standing behind him, not to mention that in Pingyang County, even the entire Hedong County is also a big family with a head and a face.

The maid who left after a while trotted over with a wooden basin, Huo Guang was not hypocritical, and naturally accepted the service of these two maids, this time Huo Guang also comfortably enjoyed the life of the ancient upper class. But to be honest, that towel is not as soft as in later generations, although someone serves him, in fact, it is not much better than Huo Guang's previous life!

What Huo Guang is not used to the most is that at this time during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ancients did not brush their teeth. In the end, Huo Guang had no choice but to ask one of the maids named Shen Jun to get another basin of water, and Huo Guang dipped his fingers in the water and brushed his teeth so-so. At this time, Huo Guang also knew the names of these two maids, one was called Shen Jun and the other was Liu Zhi, the names were very ordinary, and Huo Guang didn't take it very seriously.

Soon, with the help of the two maids, Huo Guang finally finished washing and changed into a very good curved deep coat. In the Han Dynasty, this dark coat could be worn by both men and women, and the only difference between men and women was the pattern and color. Huo Guang was wearing a vermilion background with a coat with apricot yellow cuffs and neckline.

It was the first time to wear such a complicated costume, Huo Guangzhi didn't feel uncomfortable, and the fabric was not bad, but it was quite comfortable. It's just that the sleeves are too wide, so Huo Guang didn't know where to put his hands at first.

As soon as he had breakfast, the housekeeper Huo Zhong reported that the champion Hou had sent someone. And this time, Huo Qubing didn't come by himself, but sent someone to send a lot of daily utensils, of course, these things are all first-class goods, even if they are used in the general county guard's mansion.

Speaking of this housekeeper named Huo Zhong, he is naturally not from the Huo family. And he didn't even know what his original name was, this person was originally the housekeeper of the Zhang family, and after the manor property was changed to Huo, he also changed his surname to Huo. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" shows that in the Western Han Dynasty, the surname was far less important than that of later generations.

I used to wonder that Huo Quzhi didn't know who his father was when he was a child, and later Wei Shao'er married the Chen family, but Huo Qubing still had the surname Huo, neither his mother's surname nor his stepfather's surname. It seems that not only are surnames not as popular as later generations, but even the status of illegitimate children is not as unacceptable as later generations. Huo Guang suddenly remembered that his brother had always been surnamed Huo, and there were indeed many celebrities in the Han Dynasty who were illegitimate children. It seems that illegitimate children are a common thing in this era, and no one looks down on bastards.

In fact, during this period, the Confucianism that deeply influenced later generations of Chinese people had not yet been fully formed, and there was no Cheng Zhu Lixue's idea of preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires, and the three outlines and five constants. Not to mention illegitimate children, it is common for women to remarry, and even many princesses in the Han Dynasty were remarried.

At present, the Huo family seems to have become a big landlord, as for what Huo Zhongru and his mother do every day, Huo Guang doesn't care, but he, the eldest young master, still has a lot of things to do. Because according to the historical development, Huo Qubing was going to lead the army north in the next two days, and Huo Guang's plan was basically formulated.

No one knew what Huo Guang was doing, and the subordinates only saw that he had found a lot of wood, which was axe chopping and knife cutting, but the master didn't give orders, and these subordinates didn't dare to ask.

"Someone, go and call the butler." After Huo Guang was busy for nearly two hours, he finally shouted to a few subordinates not far away with a happy face, and soon someone ran to call the housekeeper Huo Zhong.

"What do you command, young master?" Huo Zhong has served people's lives all his life, and although the Huo family has only become his master for a day, he has easily adapted to this change.

"Go to the account room to pay some money to Young Master Ben, and send two more people to the city with me to buy horses." Huo Guangda has the appearance of a rich family. In fact, Huo Guang knew that his brother Huo Qubing must have a lot of good horses in his hands, and the horses he bought were definitely not as good as his brother's horses, but Huo Guang did not buy horses to ride the horses he bought to the Mobei battlefield, but to seize the time to practice his horseback riding skills.

"Young master, please wait a moment, the old slave will do it. The two of you will go out with the young master to do errands, and don't protect the young master's safety. Huo Zhong didn't ask Huo Guang why, he nodded quickly, and ordered two strong men who were chopping wood not far away.

Soon Huo Guang walked out of Huojiazhuang with two strong men, but what made Huo Guang depressed was that the housekeeper Huo Zhong gave himself a pocket, which contained a few earthy yellow metal blocks, which turned out to be the currency that was currently in circulation. Huo Guang saw that there were three different shapes of coins in the small bag, the largest of which was a round one with a dragon carved into a piece of cake, and the smaller one was a square coin with a horse on it, and the third smallest coin was a completely oval turtle shell.

"The money is yours to keep, and the two of you will negotiate the price when you buy the horse, but don't let the horse seller cheat us." Huo Guang didn't know how to distinguish the value of currency in the Western Han Dynasty, let alone the current market price of a horse, and even how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of horses. Only after the real crossing will you find that life in different eras is really difficult, even if you have a good birth, it will take a long time to adapt, so Huo Guang simply handed over this matter to the two entourages.

"The villain will not disappoint Childe, and he will buy a good horse for Childe." The entourage who took the money bag said excitedly, in his opinion, Huo Guangneng handed over the money to him for safekeeping, which was a trust in him, and as a subordinate, it was naturally a matter of joy to be entrusted with important tasks by the master. However, he also wondered, why did the young master leave everything to himself, but he didn't even ask his name?

The entourage who wanted to leave a good impression in Huo Guang's heart felt a little lost in his heart. The other entourage on the side looked much more honest, he didn't say much, and he didn't envy his companion, but this person's actions attracted Huo Guang's attention. However, Huo Guang knew that he was about to leave Pingyang, and he didn't have any plans to accept loyal servants, so he didn't even ask the names of these two people.

Along the way, Huo Guang learned a lot about the social situation of the Western Han Dynasty from these two people, and the focus was on currency. It turned out that the three styles of coins that the housekeeper Huo Zhong took for Huo Guang were the 'platinum three products' that had just been minted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the beginning of this year, and they were also the most popular currency at the moment. Of course, although the name of this coin has a gold letter, in fact, there is no gold component in it, but an alloy of silver and tin.

From these two people, Huo Guang also learned that there are many other currencies now, such as half a tael, three baht coins, etc., which can also be used, and even in this era, there are many private coins. And Huo Guang also knew that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han government had not banned the minting of coins by the people, until Emperor Wu's perennial war, which made the treasury empty, and began to collect the coinage rights to the central government, but private money still occupies a large proportion in the society.

Fortunately, in ancient China, coins are metals, even if they are private money, they are real precious metals, so this is fundamentally different from those counterfeit coins in later generations, and it is also because of this that private money can circulate unimpeded.

"Do you know where there are horses for sale in the county?" Soon Huo Guang asked another question that he was concerned about. In fact, this question came out of Huo Guang's mouth, and it didn't look like a question from a local who lived in Binh Duong at all. Fortunately, the two attendants were not suspicious, and the attendant who kept the money bag hurriedly replied: "There are horses in the East Market." All kinds of livestock can be bought there. ”

"Okay, let's go directly to the East Market to buy horses." Huo Guang took two entourages and swaggered towards the east of Pingyang County. On the way, Huo Guang was still thinking, buying horses in the East Market, to the same place where Mulan bought horses in "Mulan Ci", could it be that the ancient East Market was planned to sell livestock?

Pingyang County is a large county, and the commerce and trade in the city are relatively prosperous, and as soon as he arrived in Dongshi, Huo Guang smelled the smell of livestock urine from afar. Before entering the market, I heard many animal barks, including pigs and dogs, and before I entered the market, it felt more like a slaughterhouse.

"Bring me five pounds of dog meat." As soon as he entered the East Market, Huo Guang saw a stall at the door with a dog that had been drenched in blood for several days, and a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and a man's temperament was buying dog meat.

In fact, many people in later generations thought that they had eaten pork since ancient times because of their living habits, but in fact, the meat of ancient people was still mostly cattle, mutton and dog meat, and in ancient times, there was such a category as a dog butcher, and even many founding generals and famous assassins were killed dogs before they became famous.

"Hey, Ah Guang, why did you come to Dongshi, I haven't seen you in the past two days, and there is no one in your family? What's going on? Just as Huo Guang's gaze was drifting left and right in Dongshi, a head was stretched out from behind the dog meat stall and shouted to Huo Guang with joy.

This voice Huo Guangke is not unfamiliar at all, it is the first person he met through the Western Han Dynasty, looking at this familiar face, Huo Guang vaguely remembered, isn't Zhen Youcai's father a dog killer? It seems that this dog meat stall is likely to be Zhen Youcai's family.

Huo Guang also showed a familiar smile on his face, and shouted to the dog meat stall: "Youcai, it's you!" I happened to come to East Market to buy a horse, come with me! Huo Guang knew that Zhen Youcai often wandered here, so he must be quite familiar with this place, and asked him to lead the way to save a lot of trouble, and it was not easy to be sold into the pit of horses.

Zhen Youcai also noticed Huo Guang's dress at this moment, and looked at the two entourages behind him, with deep doubts in his eyes, he hadn't seen him for two days, why did his familiar playmate Ah Guang suddenly change a lot?

"Hehe, I have an elder brother who became a senior official in Chang'an, and he came home yesterday, so I will become a young master." Huo Guang knew Zhen Youcai's doubts, and hurriedly explained. Huo Guang felt that Zhen Youcai was his playmate, and his reliability exceeded that of everyone in the house, as long as he was well guided, Zhen Youcai might be able to become Huo Guang's right-hand man in the future. After all, Huo Guang knew that he would definitely have to cultivate a set of his own forces in the future, and some people would have to cultivate them as soon as possible, so Zhen Youcai became the first cronie that Huo Guang valued.
