Chapter 165: Buying a Horse Turmoil

Don't look at Lin Lu on weekdays, he looks like a little old man who is out of tune, but once he is cured, he seems to be immersed in it, with superb medical skills and a rigorous attitude, he is worthy of the title of "the world's first strange doctor".

Under Lin Lu's careful conditioning, Huang Gong's complexion improved, and the pain at night was relieved a little, but the cause of the disease could not be found, let alone a complete cure.

Lin Lu, who was immersed in it, either studied the water quality by the river in August every day, or studied Huang Gong at home, and the relationship between the two was rapidly warmed up, and they were almost inseparable.

Xiao Yi also returned to the county seat today, and instead of going back to his residence, he went directly to the county government and met the county magistrate Jiang Fang.

didn't even have a polite word, and directly handed the secret letter of military intelligence in his hand to Jiang Fang Jiang County Order.

Looking at the list of military supplies written on the secret letter, Jiang Fang, who has always been scheming, could no longer pretend to be calm, his voice suddenly raised a lot, and he said excitedly: "Major General, this horse farm has always been controlled by the Ma Zheng Division, why don't you apply to the Ma Zheng Secretary in the capital and manage me for a small county order?" Not to mention that it is levied, even if you spend a lot of money to buy it, you may not be able to take out a thousand horses from Jiangyang County! ......”

Since receiving his father's secret letter, Xiao Yi has a sad face.

The two armies fought, on the one hand, it was a battle of people, and on the other hand, it was also a battle of materials.

Especially in this era of cold weapons, the weapons are sophisticated, and one can be ten; The war horse is strong, and one can be ten.

And now Daqi, both are inferior to Beiqiang, the disadvantage is very obvious, the breed of war horses is not as good as the enemy, and even the number of war horses is far from the same.

These thousand horses, for Jiangyang County, the task is more; But for the entire Beiguan, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Yi has been demoted and can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy head-on, and now he is in charge of armament transportation, and he has to do his best in the rear.

was rejected by Jiang Fang, but Xiao Yi was powerless to refute, the military and the county government are two subordinate relationships, and from the public-to-public perspective, the county government has no obligation to help Xiao Yi solve the horse problem.

The formal, only way to do so is to apply to the Secretary for Justice.

However, the current Ma Zheng Department is already a big tree that has been insected, lush on the outside and rotten on the inside.

It is almost a secret that the rich and noble families would buy a fine foal that was not included in the register, and that they could grow into a horse every two or three months.

Xiao Yi returned to Zhuxiang Village with a sad face, his mind was full of horses, horses, horses, horses, and horses, without a second word.

When he entered the courtyard of the Huang family, he saw that the little ruffian Yang Xiu was in the courtyard, and he threw all the worn-out ironware into the blacksmith furnace boredly, and when he saw Xiao Yi, he was obviously vigilant.

Looking at the broken iron basin and broken iron pot like a hill, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered that the reason why Huang Zheng was able to bring back so many iron tools in one fell swoop was all due to the merits of this little ruffian, and they all said that the dragon has a dragon road, and the shrimp has a shrimp road, perhaps, this thousand horses, the little ruffian has a trick, and it is not sure that the little ruffian has a trick.

Xiao Yi rarely put down his posture, and said with a pleasant face for the first time: "Little Eleven is here?" ”

Yang Xiu didn't say anything, just nodded indifferently.

I didn't expect a little ruffian to ignore himself, for the sake of the horses, Xiao Yi endured the bottom fire in his heart, so he said indifferently: "I have a batch of goods that need to be shipped to the capital urgently, and I want to buy some horses, I don't know what tricks you have?" ”

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up immediately, and he changed his indifferent attitude to the appearance of a stock marketer, and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, how many horses does the young general want?" How much silver do you want to buy? ”

"A lot is also good, as for the silver...... Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed, his father meant to let him collect horses, but he didn't mean to buy them, and the private silver that he temporarily brought out was only a thousand taels.

Xiao Yi stretched out a finger embarrassedly, and said stubbornly: "One thousand horses, one thousand taels of silver......"

Yang Xiu's originally bright smile turned dark, and he said coldly: "Young General, are you making fun of me Yang Xiu, buy a horse for one or two silver, should you buy chicken cubs?!" ”

Xiao Yi was embarrassed by Yang Xiu's face and blushed, and the young general, who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, was ridiculed for the first time because of his lack of money.

Xiao San really couldn't stand it anymore, and said indignantly: "What do you know and talk nonsense? These horses are not used by the major general personally, but to resist the Beiqiang Tartars, the skin does not exist, the hair will be covered, and the border pass cannot be guarded, how can it be home? How can you save your life? If you have just a horse, you should give it free of charge......"

Listening to such righteous and awe-inspiring words, the smile lines on Yang Xiu's face became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into laughter, laughing so that Xiao Santie's face turned blue, if it weren't for Xiao Yi being here, he would definitely teach this unruly little ruffian a good lesson.

Yang Xiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and clapped his hands and said to Xiao San: "Xiao Guard, what you said is really good, 'If you can't guard the border, why is it home?'" How can you save your life? I come to ask you, if the poor eat this meal today, they don't know if they will be able to eat it tomorrow; I closed my eyes and slept today, I don't know if there will be tiles to cover the frost tomorrow, what is the use of guarding this border on such a day? What's the use of holding the country? ”

Xiao San was speechless when asked, he is a descendant of the Xiao family, and he has the rank of a seven-rank military general, although he can't be rich and noble, but he is also a small rich family, with no worries about food and clothing, and he never knows what it's like to be hungry and frozen, so he has never thought about how to protect his family and defend the country when the most basic survival is a problem, or, whether such a country is worthy of his people's love and defense.

The more Xiao San thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "It's really a poor mountain and bad water out of the people!" These words you say are rebellion! It's a judgment of the country! Believe it or not, I reported to the court, deprived you of your surname, and all your nine clans! ”

Yang Xiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Master, I just told a few words of truth, but I was labeled as Diao Min, and I was really flattered." Unfortunately, the master's surname is because he was thrown under a big poplar tree since he was a child, so he is surnamed Yang. The nine clans of the master, I am the one who counts up to eighteen generations, and I have not yet married, so I am still one of the eighteen generations down, and you can punish if you like! Who made you a ruler and I am a citizen? ”

Xiao San was so angry that he really wanted to make a move with Yang Xiu, but Xiao Yi stopped him in time, shook his head and said, "Xiao San, do you think you are those sour Confucians in the court?" Brother Yang's words are not rough, the poor have eaten the last meal and the next meal, where does he have the right to dredge the Ma Zheng Secretary, and where can he afford to buy a horse with money? What you said just now is not bad at all, but the mistake is wrong, and you should go to the high-ranking officials and nobles like Jiang County Ling and the rich businessmen in Jiangyang County.
