After bathing, the whole body was smeared with balm, and Chi Tang felt that the smell was gone.

After climbing into bed, lying down, and holding the soft wood sleeping rabbit pillow into his arms as usual, he suddenly remembered someone's words.

After hesitating for a moment, he replaced the soft wood pillow.

Pillowed on a soft wooden pillow, and when she closed her eyes, her mind was full of the person who gave her the wooden pillow.

He rushed at her when he saw her crying, and he looked at her as if he had many words hidden in his eyes;

What did he want to say to her? Why is he here today? Are you here to congratulate Daddy? Or is there another reason......

Why hasn't he been there for so long? Are you busy with many rituals in the palace? Is it politically engaged? Still is...... Thinking about choosing a concubine?

Chi Tang pulled up the quilt to cover his face and sighed softly.

Don't think about him......

I had just warned myself that my fingertips had unintentionally touched the wooden sleeper, but I couldn't help but remember that he suddenly stopped before getting into the car, as if he heard what Xue Zheng said to her.

Is he-

couldn't help but whimper, covered his face and shrunk into a ball......

……

Early the next morning, Xue Zheng sent someone to send the horses over.

It is a little red horse, with wet eyes, pure and tame.

"This horse ......" Chi Tang hesitated a little, "It looks quite small?" ”

Tsing Yi glanced at it and didn't speak.

The servant replied, "One year and ten months." ”

Chi Tang was stunned: "Your Junjun told me that it was an old horse, right?" ”

What Xue Zheng promised her was an old mare she used when she learned to ride five years ago.

The servant smiled "hehe" and said, "That's right, this is the horse that the county monarch explained!" ”

Chi Tang didn't have anything to say, nodded, said "Thank you Junjun for me", and waved his hand to let the servant go back.

The servant saluted and said, "The county monarch let the slave stay and raise horses for the township monarch!" ”

It is also normal to give horses and give horse maids, Chi Tang didn't care, nodded, and was about to leave

The horse servant said: "The county gentleman also said, the early spring is cold, the horse farm outside the city is windy, if the township gentleman goes out of the city to learn to ride, it is easy to freeze, the township gentleman can go to the West Inner Garden to learn to ride with the East Palace order, and then let people use a cloth curtain to surround it will not be cold!" ”

Chitang stumbled at his feet.

This, where is what Xue Zheng said?

……

"Huh!" Chi Changting sneered after hearing this, and was so frightened that Chi Tang didn't dare to say anything later, with a well-behaved attitude of waiting for orders.

Chi Changting glanced at her and said, "The West Inner Garden is a forbidden garden, and there are many nobles who haunt and run into trouble. ”

Chi Tang hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I don't want to go either!" ”

Chi Changting nodded with satisfaction and said, "But it's really cold to learn to ride in the wild-" After a pause, "The Shen family bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing, it seems that they have built a horse farm, and I will ask them." ”

Chi Tang hadn't heard from the Shen family for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask: "The Shen family plans to open a racecourse in the capital?" ”

Chi Changting shook his head: "They plan to raise their own horse team and go to the Western Regions." ”

Chi Tang was puzzled: "Isn't the Shen family selling grain and tea?" ”

This matter is more complicated, Chi Changting pondered for a long time before explaining to her: "The Shen family started from Shen Xin's grandfather, and originally did salt and tea trading; But these two, under normal circumstances, salt is sold by the government, and tea needs tea to be bought and sold; It is also because of the turmoil in the last years of the previous dynasty, and the fact that this dynasty has only been founded for decades, and private businesses have not yet been controlled, so that the Shen family has its current place; Shen Xin is still a little knowledgeable, and he bought land to stock up on grain before the tightening of the salt policy, gave up the salt road, and sold grain instead; ”

"In the past two years, the imperial court plans to implement a tea and horse exchange market in the Huifu area-" Seeing her confused face, Chi Changting smiled, "These are all matters of the imperial court, and you don't understand it, so don't say it!" ”

Chi Tang was anxious: "How can you say half of it, don't say it!" ”

Chi Changting laughed, pulled her to sit down, pondered for a while, and continued to explain to her: "The Western Regions produce good horses but no tea, and the tea and horse market is to exchange our tea for the horses of the people of the Western Regions, to ensure that the tea and horse market is normal, first of all, we must strictly control the domestic tea policy, so as not to sell tea to the Western Regions privately, and the people of the Western Regions will not need our tea, so at the beginning of this year, the imperial court promulgated a new tea law, and all the tea guides issued to tea merchants before this year will be invalidated, and all tea merchants must be re-issued by the yamen. The amount is also more than half of the original amount! ”

"The Shen family can't get the tea, so they changed it to a horse farm?" Chi Tang asked.

Chi Changting shook his head: "Not really, it's just that now it's all in ruins, it's actually an opportunity, the Shen family gave up the foundation of Jiangnan and moved the family north, wanting to get a piece of the tea and horse market; If you obtain the qualification of the tea and horse market, you are the imperial merchant registered by the imperial court, and the tea and horse market is not only tea and horses, but also the spices of the Western Regions and the silk of the Central Plains, all of which are profitable transactions, but it is not very safe on the way, so the Shen family has to raise their own horse team. ”

Chi Tang heard a little wrong: "Didn't you say that the new tea method will only come out this year?" Why did the Shen family go to Beijing with us last year? ”

Chi Changting said with a smile: "The promulgation is this year, but before the promulgation of the new law, it is considered fast to discuss it for a year or two!" ”

Chi Tang sighed: "Then the Shen family is also powerful, and they all know that the court is discussing the new law." ”

Chi Changting glanced at her: "Do you think anyone can know the news of the new law promulgated by the imperial court?" ”

Yes? Chi Tang blinked in confusion.

Chi Changting smiled and poked her forehead: "It was your father who told them!" ”

Chi Tang was stunned.

Could this be the legendary collusion between officials and businessmen?

"The Shen family has helped a lot in this counterinsurgency, I have to give them some benefits, these highnesses also know that the Shen family is qualified as a tea and horse merchant!"

The opening of the tea and horse market and the new tea law are both implemented by the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also intends to cultivate a few useful imperial merchants to supervise the situation of the tea and horse market from top to bottom.

He recommended the Shen family to His Royal Highness the Prince, which can be regarded as repaying the Shen family's love for taking care of Ah Tang in his previous life and Shen Zhichun's injury for Ah Tang in this life.

"Daddy, will Miss Shen also go back to the Tea Horse Market?" Chi Tang was a little envious.

Chi Changting said with a smile: "You learn to ride hard, and there will be a chance for your father to take you to the Western Regions in the future!" ”

Seeing her nodding excitedly, she felt a little guilty: "I originally promised you to teach you to ride a horse in the spring, but now you are so anxious to learn it before the company, I'm afraid my father won't be able to catch up." ”

Chi Tang comforted: "It's okay, Tsing Yi and Sister Yan can teach me!" ”

Chi Changting nodded and said, "Tomorrow, you go to practice first, and the day after tomorrow there will be a holiday for the Lantern Festival, and Daddy will accompany you again!" After thinking about it, he instructed again, "Bring more people, Mo San and Mo Qi will bring them, I will let Zhanyu follow you, you have just learned to ride a horse, you still have to be careful, it is not a trivial matter to fall!" ”

As soon as he said this, Chi Tang became a little uneasy: "Daddy, is the horse sent to me by Xue Junjun bad-tempered?" ”

When Chi Changting heard this, he sneered: "I don't know if it's good-tempered or not, but it's an authentic Dawan horse, and when you are happy, you may be able to run fast!" ”

Xue Zheng himself may not have a big Wanju, and Li Yan is not afraid of being discovered!
