Chapter 232: Horse Farm

"It's me who is so incompetent to hurt you." Chang Le suddenly raised his head very guiltily, stared at Wu Ze solemnly, "Don't worry, you don't have time to go out to look for it, I'll help you find it." When this year passes, our studio has made money, and I will give you more of my dividend, so that you can also have money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law. At the beginning of spring next year, I will find a matchmaker to help you find a girl on a blind date, and we have to pick a good one! ”

Wu Ze's eyelids jumped, swallowed his saliva and said: "The master doesn't have to be so polite, the matter of marriage is just a matter of fate." ”

"If you're so casual, you'll never be able to wait." Chang Le said seriously, "Not only you, but also a blind date for ten miles next year." Although I think Shili is still young, don't you advocate early marriage here? If ten miles is older, and all good men become relatives, wouldn't it be too much of a loss? If you both can marry next year, I'll find a way to help you get a dowry and a bride price......"

The more Chang Le talked, the more excited he became, and he said that if the two of them had children in the future, they would be godmothers or something.

Wuze sighed, he could only listen to it as a story. But probably because of the constant chatter, Wuze's mind went blank when he leaned against the wall of the car and looked up at the foggy mountains in the distance.

The matter of starting a family is really like those mountains for him, out of reach.

Hearing that Chang Le had been talking about ten miles, Wu Ze's eyes inexplicably showed ten miles of anger, and his heart was entangled.

Since Shili was poked in front of him for fear of him, Shili seems to be relieved, and he doesn't have any guilt in the face of Wuze, but he still doesn't talk to him for more than half a sentence.

……

After walking on the official road for half an hour, I finally turned to an avenue on the right. This avenue leads to the mountain, but it is still as wide as an official road. The coachman explained that it was because he wanted to allow the emperor's luan to drive, and said that the road was called Tongma Road.

It's really a very random name.

The road is wide and smooth, and there are a lot of people coming and going, and there is a fight with the daily passenger flow of Xuanlingguan. Moreover, there are very few people who lead horses up the mountain, but many people who go down the mountain lead horses, and some people lead a series of four or five horses.

Chang Le couldn't help frowning curiously: "Is this a horse market?" How do I think they all look like they're going up to buy horses? ”

The coachman's back was poked twice, accompanied by Chang Le's "uncle". Every time the driver heard Chang Le call him "uncle", he couldn't help but be moved to answer her question.

On weekdays, when he is driving, no one will chat with him at all, let alone someone will call him "uncle" so respectfully and affectionately.

"The horse farm has a lot of horses, so the horse starts a business. When it is important, it is used for royal hunting, and it is common to buy and sell horses with people, and if you want to hunt, as long as you pay for it, you can also go to the hunting grounds of the horses. ”

Chang Le was surprised, and once again refreshed his three views by this world, and said, "Are all merchants popular now?" Why can a colt also do business? ”

As a Taoist temple, Xuanling Temple relies on activities such as the Qixi Festival to do business. As a prince, King Huai is also an investment study and an investment workshop, and he also does a small yellow picture business with her. There are also horses that open their horse farms and hunting grounds to the outside world.

Is it really because of customs, or is it true that everyone is so good at doing business?

These three categories don't look like people who are short of money.

The coachman just laughed dryly twice, and did not continue to talk. I thought to myself: It's not because he has no money to feed this horse farm and hunting ground, in order to build Princess Shun'an's music workshop and this horse farm, the horse's income and taxes are gone, what can he do, can he only make some money in this way?

In order to help the horses, Princess Shun'an also opened the music shop to the outside world to attract those high-ranking and dignitaries to spend money.

Thinking that the princes and nobles are so miserable, the surface is glamorous, but in fact they are poor jingle bells, and the coachman is somewhat psychologically balanced.

The further up you go, the more guards you find patrolling. Until he arrived at the gate of the hunting ground, Chang Le was a little amazed.

This hunting ground is not very tall, the shape of the whole hunting ground is similar to the entrance of the barracks seen on TV, the hope building, there is a high door number, and the gap can run into the wooden fence of a child.

However, the hunting ground can only be such a simple shape, after all, it is for horses to live in prey, and the luxury of building is not only unnecessary, but also loses the wild sense of hunting. But Chang Le got out of the carriage and looked to the left, and immediately felt that his thoughts just now were too one-sided.

To the left of the hunting ground, there is a row of large palaces, with black walls and gray tiles, and the structure looks not small, almost the size of two or three basketball courts. I don't know how they dug up that place.

But in fact, if you take a closer look at this mountain, the slope below is gentle, and the terrain above is not very steep. It's a natural hunting and racing ground.

Chang Le took the lead, followed by Wuze, and the coachman led the carriage and waited to be arranged.

The rows of guards guarding the door ignored her as if they didn't see her. Chang Le also planned to say that she was stopped by them, and she was very arrogant about the purpose of reporting it, but as a result, she thought too much.

It was very casual to see those people with a big gap in clothing going in and out of the hunting grounds. Chang Le still can't believe that this is a hunting ground for horses, and it won't be long before this place will be used for royal hunting, isn't this too child's play?

Aren't they all used exclusively for the royal family?

A question mark popped up on his head, Chang Le shook them, threw them behind, and glanced at Wu Ze, who had already gone directly to find a guard.

"Our owner was invited by the horse to come and paint the "Horse Picture". The purpose of the introduction is expressionless.

When the guard heard this, he glanced at Chang Le, but he didn't show any warm and friendly meaning, and also said coldly with a blank face: "Follow me." ”

Chang Le's brows never relaxed.

Since you are going to do business, you are a service industry worker. As a person in the service industry, shouldn't you have a little professionalism, don't be so ruthless?

Chang Le felt that he wanted too much again, and under the man's gaze, he turned his head and returned to the carriage.

The guard stared at them, showing a look of "really troublesome", and waited for the carriage to follow, and then slowly led the way in front.

Chang Le was still sitting at the door of the car, and when he entered the racecourse, he saw a large eye-catching wooden sign.

Chang Le poked Wuze and asked, "What is written on that sign?" ”

"Announcement, at the beginning of August, the emperor will hunt here, and the clearing will begin tomorrow, and there will be no horse trading for the time being." Wu Ze read it out without emotion.

"That's right." Chang Le replied and looked left and right again.

On the right was an endless forest, which should have been their hunting place. Not far in front of them is a large empty field, still the size of three or four basketball courts, and a row of exquisite and magnificent high platforms and large sheds have been built at one end, which should be the audience seats, of course, the people sitting on them must not be ordinary people.

They crossed a wide road behind the high platform, turning and turning for more than a quarter of an hour. Not far in front of him there was a large field, all surrounded by wooden fences and covered with sheds, and the muffled smell of animals and the incessant sound of horses could be heard from afar.

There were also heavy soldiers' handles, and several of the openings were open, and there were people who talked to those who bought horses. On the left side of the racecourse there is a house that looks like a checkout window.

When Chang Le sighed, the carriage had stopped. The guard exchanged a few words with a person who looked like a supervisor, looked at Chang Le twice, and then retreated. When Changle stepped out of the carriage, the director-like man stepped forward.

This man was dressed in gray linen clothes, but he didn't look very cheap. Watermelon has a round face, triangular eyes, freckles on his face, and a two-handful mustache. When he smiled, he was greasy and flattering, and he could see that he was a person who often did business.

"In Xia Zhangguan, he is the royal horse envoy of this horse farm, in charge of the horse farm." The man bowed his hand and introduced himself, "The horse has already explained, and when the owner comes, he will take it directly to see the horse." ”

"Then it's troublesome for Zhang Yuma, let's go over now."

Chang Le also bowed back. After all, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, although this person is a subordinate of the horse, he will not be targeted everywhere.

"Bring the stuff." Chang Le turned his head to Wu Zedao.

Wu Ze answered, and turned back to get the easel and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Guan continued to talk with Chang Le: "I have already picked five first-class horses for the owner, all of which are BMW tribute from the Western Regions. ”

"Oh?" Chang Le raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing curiosity, "The tribute horse is also here?" ”

"Naturally, they are all rewarded by His Majesty."

Zhang Guan saw that Wu Ze had already followed, and his eyes swept casually, so he took a general look.

Wu Ze was holding a wooden shelf and didn't know what he was doing, and he was carrying a small wooden box and a long cylinder, presumably containing pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Without waiting for Chang Le to speak, Zhang Guan had already stretched out his hand and said, "Owner, please here." ”

"Hmm."

Chang Le answered and kept up with him.

Zhang Guan took Chang Le from one end of the racecourse to the other, and when he reached the end, he turned a corner, and a small horse shed appeared in front of him.

There are five very strong horses tied to it, Chang Le doesn't know what breed they are, just looking at their body and coat color, as well as this majestic spirit, he can roughly guess that they are all good horses.

In particular, there was a snow-white horse, which was very eye-catching, white to shiny, and his body was not so strong compared to other horses, but he was muscular and very good-looking. Chang Le approached it in an instant, with only one sigh, could this be the legendary White Dragon Horse?

Looking at the rest, two short and sturdy black and brown horses, and two tall red and brown horses. The color of the fur is very smooth, Chang Le touched it twice curiously, and it felt very comfortable, and the surprise was beyond words.

"Owner, these two black and brown horses were paid tribute by Nanyi, and they are called Black Tiger Horses. These two red and brown horses were paid tribute by Beiyi and were named sweat and blood horses. This white horse is the most precious snow horse of our dynasty. Zhang Guan proudly introduced these horses, and when he saw Chang Le's expression, he raised his neck and said, "These horses, each of them is priceless, and ordinary people can't touch them." ”
