Chapter 131: Selling Horses (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)
When Qian Yan heard the other party say this, her eyes also lit up, and it was the best to be able to sell the horses to the army at one time.
She pretended to be a little hesitant and said: "Of course, it's great to be able to sell it quickly, I don't know if the military master can make the decision and buy all my horses directly?"
Of course, I don't sell this mount, I only sell the next eight. Also, is it calculated at market price in the army? ”
The soldier guarding the city said, "You wait here, I'll go up and report it, and I'll get back to you soon." ”
Tilt Yan nodded, pulled over the donkey cart, and waited there.
Fortunately, there are basically no people entering the city now, and they are not blocking the road here.
Qian Yan and Xue Minghua glanced at each other and did not speak, this horse is not coming from the right way, so as not to say too much.
The soldier went to the city tower, and he thought he was going to ask his commander, because there were a lot of people out of the city, and there were carts coming and going, and Qian Yan couldn't listen to what they said, so he let Chou Chou pay attention with his divine sense, not to be bad for them.
The ugly ugly gave her a live broadcast of the other party's conversation and said: "The soldier went up and entered a room, and there were two generals in light armor inside, who should be the general of the prison gate."
An older grade said, "Hui'er, why did you come up, but what's going on down there?"
The soldier said, "Dad, second uncle, it's a good thing, didn't the second uncle say that the higher authorities ordered you to be responsible for purchasing horses and other armaments?" There happened to be a horse dealer down there.
I saw that the horses were all fat and strong, oily and smooth, very well raised, all of them were of the highest quality, and the most rare thing was that they also carried a complete set of saddles, which should be able to stay together.
It's just that there are not many horses, only eight, and the other party wants to pull them to the mule and horse market to sell, so I stopped them.
told her that it was definitely impossible to sell it at one time in the mule and horse market, and that the horses would lose weight after a long time, and they would definitely not be able to sell at a price, so she was persuaded to sell them to the army, and it seemed that she agreed.
It's just that I still need to ask about the price, I don't know how much price is given above, so I'll go back to the other party, or the second uncle will go down and talk to her in person.
The younger general, standing up, poked his head out and looked at it, and then said to the soldier, "Yes, yes, the horses are indeed good, they seem to be in good years, they are all good horses."
In this way, I won't go down, anyway, just these few horses, you go to negotiate with him, just say that you will give him a tael of silver at the market price, see if the other party sells it, if you want to sell it, you will buy it, and then the second uncle will also give you benefits.
After saying that, he gave him two silver tickets, one for one hundred taels, and it seems that we will have to get more than one hundred taels.
The older one also spoke, and said: It seems that there are a lot of silver taels allocated from the above this time, second brother, although there are only eight horses this time, but this batch is very good, and it can also let the upper head see your ability to do things, and it will definitely be more important to you in the future.
The second brother who said laughed, ah, the soldier is down, you are going to collect the money. ”
Qian Yan listened to the ugly relays and thought, it seems that the above has allocated a lot of money to them, which must be higher than the market price.
Think about it, there are no horses here, and the war horses are not better than the usual horses that pull the cart, there are requirements, and you have to go to a distance to get them, and this manpower plus long-distance travel is not also money.
People have the ability to make money, that's their ability, and Tilt Yan is not blushing, as long as the price can be sold within their expectations.
She really didn't have time to go to the mule and horse market, and she had thought about it before, so if she couldn't sell it to the horse sellers in the mule and horse market, as long as she could sell it at one time, it would save trouble.
The money you get can buy more things in the city, that is, some souvenirs and the like, and take them back to your parents.
The things in this Xingtang Mansion must be a little more complete than the things in Hancheng, after all, this city looks much bigger than that over there.
I didn't expect to encounter this good thing, not only did I buy it at one time, but I bought it more than the market price, she was already very content, this is the benefit of nothing, people earn more, that is people's.
Who let the family buy it for the public, and it can be reimbursed.
Similar to later generations, purchase and reimbursement is a matter of an invoice.
She remembers her father saying that this kind of thing had happened in their company before.
Once my father checked the accounts and found that the invoice from the person who went to buy office supplies quoted two yuan for a pencil, not to mention anything else.
This seems to be a small amount of money, but the problem is that the financial side has also reported it, what does this mean? Together!
This can make my own dad angry enough, it is still from institutions of higher learning, obviously this is a copy in it, otherwise fools know that a pencil is now sold for a dime, that is, no matter how good the quality is, it will not exceed five cents, and the reimbursement will be two yuan, so what's the situation?
However, this situation is not only in some companies, but also in the public house, if you don't find out by yourself, there is no way to prevent it, even if you use your own relatives, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
As long as the finance and cashier side move a little, they can get a lot of money, but they can only check the accounts frequently, and it is impossible to put an end to it.
It's just that I didn't expect this kind of thing to be passed down from my ancestors, and she was met with it in this ancient world.
But fortunately, at least for now, she has also benefited, so there is nothing to say.
Sure enough, after a while, the soldier ran down, and said with a smile to Qian Yan: "I asked Shangguan, what Shangguan means is that the current market price of horses is fifteen taels of silver, I see that your horses are all in the right year, and each horse will be added to one tael, which is sixteen taels, and we will not give you silver in vain, a new pair of harness is seven taels, and you are old and depreciated into five taels, what do you think?" ”
When I heard it, there was a windfall!
She thought about giving away the saddle or something, but she didn't expect people to give money, which is great!
Immediately nodded and said, "No problem, just do as you say!" ”
When she went to the mule and horse market in Handcheng to buy a donkey before, she also asked the price, and thought that if the price of a horse and a donkey is about the same, then she must buy a horse, so she knows that the price of a horse is indeed fifteen taels, which is twice as expensive as a donkey, so she will choose a little donkey.
It seems that the other party is quite sincere, and he increased the price for her according to what his second uncle said, and Qian Yan happily agreed.
The other party directly took out the silver ticket, and it was not strange for Qian Yan, I heard his conversation above just now, and I calculated in my heart, sixteen taels plus five taels is twenty-one taels, and eight horses multiplied by twenty-one are a total of one hundred and sixty-eight taels.
She took the other party's silver ticket and directly retrieved thirty-two taels for the other party, of course, the silver was now asked for by the ugly ugly, and the money was collected from those people.
When the other party saw that she had calculated the price so quickly, and that she had a whole amount of broken silver, he was even more convinced that they were selling horses, or at least they were definitely in business.
Otherwise, how can it be calculated so quickly, you have to play a plan to make a plan, people will calculate it directly, and the ability of this arithmetic is strong enough.
took thirty-two taels of silver from Qian Yan's hand and put it directly into his arms, his second uncle said before that he was indispensable, but in fact, when he gave him the silver ticket, he understood what it meant, and the rest was his.
If he wants to get more, he can actually bargain further, but, first, he is not that kind of person, and the second is that in front of such a beautiful little girl as Qian Yan, he still has to have a little face, and it is not good to compete with the little beauty for the two dates.
Another is that he also plans to see if he can have another chance, after all, his second uncle doesn't just want this, if the other party has a way, he can get more, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
So he said to Qianyan: "If the girl still has horses at home, she can also come here to find me, and if I am not here on duty, you can also go directly to the general of the prison gate, he also knows about this." ”
Qian Yan understood what the other party meant, there will definitely be no next time, but it goes without saying too clearly, nodded with a smile, said hello to him, and led the horse into the city with a donkey cart.
When they entered the city, they walked a little further by the light at the gate, but when they were far from the gate, the road was not light.
Tilt Yan pretended to take out a torch from the back basket, this is the torch they made when they were in the wilderness before, and the ugly ugly put two into the space.
He lit it with flint and steel, held it in his hand for lighting, and walked forward for a while.
Like Hancheng, the distance from the city gate to the inner city is not long, only two or three hundred meters, and there are no people.
This is in the event of an enemy siege or any emergency, and this is the place where the soldiers gather to fight.
If there are many people's houses or shops here, it will be more troublesome, and it will be inconvenient for the soldiers to show their hands, and it is easy to hide some enemy spies and spies to cooperate with each other.
Emptying this place will better prevent this.
Because of the delay just now, there are no more people to go out of the city.
It should be almost nine o'clock in the evening, and it is estimated that the shops are closed, and I don't know if there are any inns to live in.
Qian Yan stopped the donkey cart and said to Xue Minghua: "Sister Minghua, shall we go back to your house directly or find an inn to settle down first?" ”
Xue Minghua thought for a while and said, "While it's not too late, let's go home first, if so...... If the family is not willing to let us go back, it is not too late to find an inn to stay, and the inn will only close when it is open. ”
She was thinking that if she looked back in broad daylight, her family would not want to recognize her, and she would be seen by the neighbors, which would not be good for the reputation of the family.
If she goes back at night, no matter what, whether the family accepts it or not, she doesn't have to worry about being seen by others, and even if she does, others don't know what's going on, which is also to save the last face for both parties.
Qian Yan nodded, asked Fu Lai to raise the torch, she tied the horse to the side of the car again, sat on the wheel and took the torch before asking Xue Minghua, "Then do you remember the way home?" How are we going to go? ”
Xue Minghua nodded, "There hasn't been much change in this city, if my family hadn't moved away, it should still be in the original position, let's come in from the north gate, enter the inner city for a while, see the intersection and turn right, and walk to the end." ”
Qian Yan nodded, patted the donkey's buttocks, and let the donkey cart move forward again, thinking to herself, the Xue family is really easy to find, on the west side, it should be the West Street of the Xingtang Mansion.
Then the car was very quiet, and the two children should have felt their mother's apprehension, although they looked at the scene in the city curiously, they did not chirp as before, but sat quietly next to Tianyan.
Qian Yan held the torch with one hand, no way, this is not like a lantern can be hung in front, and the carport is made of a mat, and there is no way to insert a torch, I am afraid that I will not pay attention to the carport to light, so I can only hold it with my hand.
To be honest, the light of this torch jumps and jumps, and it is clearly extinguished when the wind comes, it is really not clear to see, and it is far worse than a flashlight.
The flashlight was shining forward with a concentrated light, but the light from this torch was scattered, and it couldn't shine far ahead, and the speed of the donkey cart couldn't get up, so it walked for more than half an hour before it came to the intersection that Xue Minghua said.
This intersection looks a little similar to the side of Handcheng, I don't know if the cities of this era are built the same, anyway, this is very similar to Handcheng.
After a while to the west, I passed by the yamen, and then there was a long wall, either an official's mansion or a large family.
However, this street is much longer than that of Handcheng, because there are no pedestrians on the road, and the front is very flat. Even if someone could see it in time, she asked the donkey cart to speed up, and just like that, she walked for more than half an hour to reach the last home in the west.
also passed by the long fence to reach the main gate, but Xue Minghua did not let her stop at the main gate, but continued to walk forward until she reached the westernmost place, and found that there was a side gate there, so she asked Qian Yan to stop the car and helped her down from the car.
When she just arrived at the main gate, she also glanced at the plaque on the door, and saw that the word Xue Fu was written on it, so she was relieved.
It seems that it has not been moved, and if the plaque is changed to another surname, then it is really necessary to plan otherwise.
After all, more than ten years have passed, and there may have been a different generation, and it is possible for the Xue family to move to another city.
Xue Minghua got out of the car, walked to the door with a cane, and buckled the copper ring on the door.
Obviously, there was a porter guarding this door, and soon the voice of the question inside was heard: "Who?" Coming back so late? ”
Xue Minghua replied: "I'm looking for Steward Yang in the house, can I pass it on?" ”
When the other party heard this, he quickly opened the door, and when he saw two women and two children outside the door, he first looked puzzled, and then asked, "Are you looking for Yang to do something?" At this hour, Steward Yang should have rested, if there is no urgency, it is better to come back tomorrow. ”
It's time now, and if it's something inconsequential, he doesn't want to run to wake up the steward, and then it won't be good if he eats it.
