Chapter 101: Horses

After solving the silver problem, Du Jun was in a good mood and tidied up the space casually.

Zhao Changshan's old things, I don't plan to use them, I plan to find an opportunity to sell them, as for those foxes, make a leather coat for my family to wear.

Nothing happened overnight, got up the next day and went out of the room, went downstairs to the lobby of the inn, Du Jun ordered a few dishes at random, and paid tribute to the Five Organs Temple.

A figure walked to the table where Du Jun was, and then stopped.

Du Jun looked up and saw that he was a strange man, about thirty years old, well-dressed, slender, red face and white teeth, delicate skin, big almond eyes, slightly upturned corners of his mouth, and a folding fan in his hand.

"Miss Du Jun, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting, do you mind if I sit down?"

Since Du Jun's name can be directly called, it is to be prepared, Du Jun smiled slightly.

"Childe, please sit down, forgive the little girl's clumsiness, I don't know who Childe is?"

The servant behind the man went over to wipe the chair, the man picked up his robe and sat down, folding the fan in his hand, "Don't blame those who don't know, the contemptible British Mansion, Song Qi, entrusted by others, came to find Miss Du Jun and talk about a deal!" ”

Song State Mansion? This is Uncle Song Jiang's mansion. The ancestors of the Song family made great contributions to the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty and were canonized as the Duke of England, a hereditary duke. But the Great Xia Dynasty has been more than 300 years, the children and grandchildren of the ancestors of the British duke, there are no amazing characters, but there are no traitors and villains, according to the classification of the title, the prince and the marquis, the three generations of downgraded one level, the current head of the British Duke's family is only a viscount, and it is also the third generation of viscounts.

The fiefdom has been recovered by the imperial court, and the current head of the family is only from the Hanlin Academy of the five products, but the accumulation of the past dynasties, the assets are quite rich, the in-laws are all over the court and the opposition, and the door of the house hangs the plaque of the national prince given by the founding emperor himself, and the people of Mingyuan City still call it the British Mansion according to the old calendar.

Song Jiang had mentioned the uncle's mansion, so as soon as Du Jun heard the British Mansion, he knew the identity of this person, Song Jiang's cousin.

I wonder why this cousin came? What kind of business can I negotiate with the British government? Du Jun didn't know why.

"Oh! It turned out to be Song Gongzi, I don't know who entrusted him, and what kind of deal was he talking about? ”

Song Qi put away the folding fan and became serious.

"Who entrusted it, this Du girl doesn't need to know, it's just a deal, as for what kind of deal, I think...... If the girl can get cattle and sheep from the north, is she also interested in horses? ”

The Great Xia Dynasty is located in this continent, the southern part of the Central Plains, there is no large grassland, there is a shortage of horses, and the war horses have been in a serious shortage of conditions, and in the war with the northern neighbors, it has been at a disadvantage, and can only rely on the numerical advantage to barely resist.

Especially in recent decades, the two northern neighboring countries have stopped fighting with the Bactrian Dynasty, explicitly forbidding the trade of horses, and only private stealing is carried out privately, but if caught, it will also be punished by death.

If you can't get horses from your northern neighbors, you can only settle the matter within Great Xia, and there is no restriction on the private horse trade. However, most of the horse farms belong to the army, which is considered military horses, which is forbidden to be traded by the people, and the remaining private horse farms are too small to become a big climate.

Therefore, after seeing the beef cattle and goats provided by Du Jun, some people think that Du Jun must be from the northern neighbor behind him, or these livestock are not from Dazhou, where did they come from? Since cattle and sheep can be sold, then horses can also be sold, it's just a matter of price.

"Horses?"

Du Jun was stunned for a moment, at the beginning, she did have this idea, but there are too few horses in Anxian County, let alone the type that can run quickly, Du Jun pressed this unrealistic idea, but unexpectedly, she came to Mingyuan once, and was thought that she had horses for sale.

She really doesn't have this, and the whole family only has a jujube red horse pulling a cart.

But if you have the opportunity, it can be a way to make money.

Her jujube red horse is still worth eighty taels of silver, and if she finds the right breed, the price will be even higher.

But how can this person be sure that she will have? Who is it?

Du Jun didn't want to give up the horse as a way to make money, but she had to find out who was beating her behind her back.

"Not yet."

Du Jun didn't say anything to death.

"Miss Du, why refuse people thousands of miles away, Ming people don't say a word, you can ask the master behind you, this matter will never implicate him."

The horse trade is widely implicated, and the profits are extremely lucrative, otherwise he, as the third son of the British government, would not have been moved by that person to wade into this troubled water.

So he personally stepped in to facilitate this deal.

Du Jun didn't have any other ideas, she really didn't have it now, if she had, she would definitely do this business.

But she didn't know Song Qi in front of her, as well as the other person he said, and she didn't want to take risks for the time being.

Since he thinks that there is a master behind him, he pushes it on the so-called master.

Du Jun, who had made up his mind, gently rejected Song Qi's proposal, no matter how Song Qi persuaded him.

Half an hour later, Song Qi left hatefully.

This woman doesn't get oil and salt, so she has to go back to someone to discuss how to pry open this opening.

Du Jun left the inn with Tong Yue and went to Yufu, where he wanted to settle Zhuangzi today.

Tong Yue was quite curious about the fact that in the morning, the owner and the strange man talked for a long time, but Du Jun didn't tell him.

The matter of horses is more sensitive, involving the court and the army, as well as neighboring countries, and she has to be cautious.

After entering Yufu, I confirmed with Mr. Liu that Zhuangzi in Yanhe Village.

The two Zhuangzi have their own pros and cons, and Du Jun wants both, but in total, there is only Tong Yue, so he can only endure the pain.

"Mr. Liu, can I use a batch of cattle to offset some of the silver money for this Zhuangzi I bought this time."

Du Jun still has 2,300 taels of silver tickets in his hand, but when it comes to building a factory later, Du Jun is tentatively bargaining with Mr. Liu.

In the past transaction process of Yufu, Du Jun's situation was uncommon, but it could also be accommodating.

"This kind of thing is okay, the price is eighty percent of the normal, after all, we have to send someone to take care of it, if you can accept it, this matter can also be discussed."

Mr. Liu also took into account that Du Jun's farm in Anxian County had just been established, and he hadn't returned to his original cost yet, besides, how many cows could Du Jun have?

He has seen the cowshed in Anxian County, there are only three cows, even if Du Jun has other ways, at most twenty heads, these cattle are divided into a few Zhuangzi below, and Yu Fu still has a way to digest them.

Du Jun didn't want to ask, but he didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so talkative, so he hurriedly asked happily: "How many heads does Yu Fu want?" I still have one hundred and eighty in my hand, Mr. Liu to see if it is enough? ”

"How much?" Mr. Liu is not calm, one hundred and eighty heads! Relying on the Zhuangzi and restaurants in Yufu alone, you will definitely not be able to eat so much.

In the end, after bargaining with Du Jun, I asked for a hundred heads, and I still sent them in four batches, a batch of twenty-five heads per month, and the price was eight taels of silver per head.

"Eight hundred taels, it's not too little", Du Jun said to himself.
