Gongsun Zhan came to the spirit, so he had to drag Liu Jian to interrogate Hu Ren at night, but Liu Jian didn't go.

Instead of pretending to be pretending, it was really late, and he really needed to get a good night's sleep.

Also, he also wants Gongsun Chan to be comfortable.

As expected, Gongsun Chan will probably be unable to sleep tonight.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Jian cleaned up and got up for morning exercises, and he was not in a hurry to go to the county office, just waiting at home.

He had to wait for Gongsun Zhan to be in a hurry, and someone took him from his home to the county office, not because he deliberately made it big, but today's matter is very important, and he must always occupy a psychologically advantageous position before he can act.

What is the most anxious thing about a person living in the world? It's the unknown, especially the unknown that is closely related to oneself.

Gongsun Chan is like this now.

Liu Jian ate a big meal, then took the scriptures, sat in the courtyard bored, lay on a wooden recliner made by himself, took a nap in the sun, and put the scriptures on his face.

Of course, it's not that he really doesn't like to read the Bible, it's just that he doesn't like to study the commentaries of the Zhujia, but he can't stand Liu Zhou forcing him.

Every time Liu Jian was on the recliner, Liu Zhou would sneer at him for "Kit Kat" and "very bad manners" and so on.

But what's interesting is that when Liu Jian was sitting on a recliner once, he took a scroll of scriptures in his hand, and Liu Zhou obviously wanted to lose his temper when he saw it, but for some reason, he swallowed the words back into his stomach, just snorted heavily at Liu Jian with his two nostrils, and then turned his head and left.

Perhaps in Liu Zhou's view, even posing is better than lying down.

Since then, every time Liu Jian rests on the recliner he made, he will take a scroll of scriptures at random and use it to plug Liu Zhou's mouth.

Today, when Liu Jian was resting on a recliner, Liu Bei walked towards him from another direction.

He sat cross-legged next to Liu Jian's recliner and said with a smile:

"Lend me to lie down for a while."

Although Liu Jian was very generous to Liu Bei, he never gave Liu Bei the chaise longue he made himself.

At least when Liu Jian himself was there, Liu Bei didn't sit down.

I also borrowed you to lie down, should you borrow Jingzhou?

"Didn't I tell you how to make it? Make your own! ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "You are comfortable lying down." ”

"How do you know it's comfortable?"

"Hey, hey!"

"Go and go, don't borrow."

Liu Bei was not angry, and began to talk nonsense with Liu Jian again.

"Uncle has a hangover, and he still gets up uncomfortably tight this morning, and he hasn't eaten a lot of food."

Liu Jian sighed helplessly: "Alas, I have to let him drink less in the future, how can there be such a way to drink, by the way, there is a medicine called kudzu, which is the best to make sobering soup, and I can't prepare it when I look back." ”

"What did you do with Gongsun Bogui last night? How long has it been. ”

"He has abdominal pain and leaks, and he produces pickled food, so he has no choice but to wait for him."

"Medium toilet?"

"Outside the toilet, etc."

"This morning, my aunt's sunflower vegetables are delicious, and I want to eat some."

"Then I'll tell my mother tonight that I want to eat."

"Brother Xian, lend me to lie down for a while."

"Go and go."

“……”

For many years, the two brothers have been idle, just in the yard like this, you and I gossip a sentence, often even an hour, sometimes the end, even the two brothers don't know what Shicai said, or the same thing or a sentence, they will be in a trance and say it over and over again.

Perhaps, this is just a habit.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Liu Jian stretched and looked up at the sky.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Gongsun Bogui."

"Huh? Didn't he come yesterday? ”

"Yes, but I'm sure he's coming today...... No, I should say that someone was sent to me. ”

"Boasting!"

God seems to be deliberately trying to give Liu Jian a chance to show off, and at this moment, a servant came to Liu Jian, saying that Gongsun Zhan's assistant had arrived at Liu She, and asked Liu Jian to go to the county office with him, saying that he had something important to do.

Liu Bei couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "It's really here?" ”

"Hehe, look, you're not bragging, are you?"

Liu Jian cleaned up a bit, came to the main hall, and saw Yu Ze, who came to Liu She with Gongsun Zan yesterday.

Yu Ze didn't say too much, and said simply: "Shao Langjun, I came to pass the word on the order of the Ming Court, and the appointment between Shaojun and the Ming Court yesterday should be fulfilled by going to the county office." ”

Liu Jian knew that this was Gongsun Zhan's that he had to quickly cash in and blow out.

"Later, let me prepare a little, and then I will go."

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you outside." Yu Ze's face was cold, and he had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"There is brewed tea in the hall, and the officials can drink it slowly here."

"No need, I'll just wait outside, hurry up when you are tired."

After that, Yu Ze didn't give Liu Jian a chance to continue talking, and turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Gongsun Bogui's subordinates are all like him." Liu Bei shook his head beside him: "Deran, what did you agree with Bogui yesterday?" ”

"On the road for a while, I said, brother, you help me greet people, pack up the gifts that Gongsun Bogui brought yesterday, load the car, and take them to the county office together in a while."

Liu Bei's face showed a little reluctance, but this matter was discussed by their brothers earlier, and this thing really couldn't be wanted, so it had to be returned, so they could only do it.

After assembling the things and putting them in the car, Liu Jian and Liu Bei went to the county office together.

Yu Ze saw that they loaded all the gifts brought by Gongsun Zhan yesterday into the car, and he was not surprised at all, and he consciously thought that everything was under the control of his county monarch, and he didn't say a word of superfluity.

The county office is in the middle of the county, and Liu Jian's home is in the west of Zhuoxian County, and the road is just passing through the noisy market, which is just in time for the opening of the market, the peak season of compradors and exchange items, so the market is particularly lively.

Horseback riding is not allowed in the city, this is the most basic rule of the counties and counties of the entire Han Dynasty, which is the same as the later generations can not go retrograde on the main road, unless your family is really very special, like the origin of the ghost Yuan Changshui in the road, otherwise ordinary people will never succeed in this ability.

Seeing that he was about to pass through the downtown area and arrive at the county office, he suddenly heard a long hiss on the right side of the downtown area, which attracted the attention of Liu Jian, Liu Bei and even Yu Ze.

When I heard the prestige, I saw that under a big mulberry tree on the side of the road, there was a tall horse with a wide chest and a gray body, but it was a tall and good horse with a white face.

The horse attracted the attention of many people around him.

Dozens of passers-by gathered under the big mulberry tree, pointing at the good horse, talking and commenting, but most of the people were full of admiration, and it was obvious that most of them praised and envied.

Liu Bei's favorite four things on weekdays - gorgeous clothes, hunting dogs, geisha, and the other is a good horse!

As soon as this good guy appeared, Xuande naturally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Deran, take a look!"

Liu Bei likes these things, in fact, Liu Jian also likes, especially the best horses, which can always attract his attention.

This is similar to in later generations, when most men see the top luxury cars, they will wait and see for a while, make judgments, and desire to have them, but they have changed the era and the car has changed its load.

With so many people around, the green horse was obviously a little restless, and it stepped back and forth, its head held high, and it looked at the crowd, gasping for breath, and its sturdy legs and hooves were digging holes back and forth in the ground from time to time, as if it were about to rush out......

"Boom ——!"

Suddenly, I saw that the young horse raised its two front hooves and neighed loudly into the sky, and the horse slave next to it hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the reins on its mouth, carefully controlled it, and with all his strength, ripped off its head as if it was about to run into the sky.

The surrounding audience couldn't help but exclaim.

What a wild Hun horse!

There is a way: the Huns ride, the west is a white horse, the east is a green horse, the north is a black horse, and the south is a horse.

"What a good horse!" Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaim.

Yu Ze did not urge Liu Jian and Liu Bei, who were watching the horses, but watched with them, he had been in the subject country of Liaodong for a long time, he was better than horses, he knew more about horses than others, and he also loved them more.

Liu Jian and the three of them squeezed in front of the crowd, and Yu was unceremonious, walked to the side of the big green horse, carefully watched the big green horse move back and forth, and counted the beats in his mouth one by one.

Then he spread out his palm, separated by a distance, closed one eye, and counted the proportion of the horse's neck and body, as well as the limbs, palm by palm.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jian asked beside him.

"The same breed of horses, also divided into excellent, although the green horse is a good horse of the Huns, there are also high and low, good horses are divided into three kinds, can be based on the length of the legs, to infer whether it is a horse that can be ridden for a long time, or a horse that can be transferred, or both......"

Speaking of this, Yu sighed lightly: "This fierce horse is not tamed, can not be ridden, it is a pity, today can not watch it stroll and walk fast, otherwise it can be judged that it is suitable for ride, but from the long leg type alone, it is a rare good horse!" ”

"Oops! This is a connoisseur! ”

With an exclamation, on the other side of the mulberry tree next to him, a man who had been listening to them walked out with a smile, although his face was kind, simple and cute, and he looked as amiable as the elder next door, but a clean and unpleated cloth suit and a neat and symmetrical brows and whiskers were decorated, which seemed to tell his fineness and ability on the side.

Liu Bei smiled when he saw this: "Who should I be...... It turned out to be this puppet! ”

Liu Jian also smiled, and said secretly in his heart: It turned out to be Su Shuang, no wonder he could get such a good horse.

In the Han Dynasty, the so-called donkey generally referred to the intermediary of the horse, that is, the intermediary.

Including the housing agents of later generations, the intermediaries of the horse market are the originators of all intermediaries in the land of China.

Of course, a horse business intermediary like Su Shuang is not an ordinary intermediary, but a kind of joint venture and multi-channel development.

He not only introduces buyers and sellers to trade horses, but also spends his own money to buy horses and press horses, and then analyzes the market, or sells them in the north and south, earning a huge price difference.

This is much more risky than ordinary puppetry, but at the same time it is much more profitable.

"Hey, this is not the big tiger and the second tiger among the four tigers, how can you have the leisure to come and see the horse?" Su Shuang ridiculed the Liu brothers, but there was no malice, they had a relationship of several faces.

Don't look at Su Shuang's business now, in recent years, he has begun to hoard horses in a large number of secluded places, but a few years ago, he was also a famous prodigal in Zhuo County, and he was better than the Four Tigers in Zhuo County.

Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "Don't scream, who is the second tiger." ”

"Hehe, Ah Jian, have you seen my big green horse? It's hard to get the top grade! No matter if you search the entire Zhuo County within three years, you won't be able to find such a good breed! ”

After that, he looked at Yu Ze: "Mr. is very accurate, everything he said is reasonable, I heard it, do you like this?" ”

Yu Ze said very bluntly: "I can't afford it." ”

Su Shuang looked at Liu Jian and Liu Bei: "This horse is actually not for sale, today is to bring here to slip the foot, my green horse since I started, I have never been exposed in the horse market in the past, I don't want to go out for the first time, let the two brothers bump into each other, for the sake of friendship on weekdays, if you like it, you can be cheaper, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What is the price?" ”

Su Shuang stretched out four fingers and said with a smile: "I received 350,000 yuan in Mayi, counting the round-trip journey of people eating horses and feeding, I will give you the principal, 400,000 yuan, how about it?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face couldn't help but darken: "In our Zhuo County Horse Market, the most expensive Wuli that has been sold is only priced at 250,000 yuan, you are a golden horse?" 400,000 dollars? Make it clear that you're lying to me! ”

Su Shuang was not angry, but smiled: "Ah Bei, isn't it narrow, how can the cheap horse you said compare with me?" It is as straight as comparing the chaffinch to the bird, and the tiger to the pine dog. ”

Liu Bei was laughed at by Su Shuang's anger: "The 400,000 yuan is too expensive." ”

"It's not expensive, it's really not expensive, it's just a capital, I don't count labor."

At this moment, Liu Jian on the side suddenly smiled and said: "It's really a first-class master, it's really one in a million...... A million dollars, brother selling? ”

Su Shuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, and subconsciously nodded vigorously: "Sell, sell!" Naturally it is sold! ”

"Hehe, don't buy it, let's go!"
