Xiao Ming asked Ai Qi to immediately prepare to go to Xuzhou Taiping Iron Factory with him, but Ai Qi Li claimed to still deal with some of his private property, and could not accompany him for the time being, it turned out that he still had more than a dozen plots of land to sell, and if these plots were to be bought now, they would definitely lose a considerable part of their interests, as a Jew, this was not allowed by nature.

Xiao Ming is right to think about it, at least the current Xuzhou Iron Works is still in the beginning stage, and he has not received a large amount of financial support from Richanglong, if he wants to complete the preliminary planning of the private bank, that is, the money bank, he will definitely let it go, so he promised Ai Qili to let him deal with his own affairs for half a year, and then go to Hangzhou Richanglong to find him directly.

At the same time, the two drafted an employment contract in front of Boss Cai, stating the details of Xiao Ming's decision to appoint Ai Qili as the big tent, Ai Qili's income, the responsibilities of both parties, etc., this kind of thing is almost too deviant in the eyes of Boss Cai, how can there be such a "labor contract" in the Song Dynasty!

But Xiao Ming knows that as Jews, they can sell anything for profit, but their greatest advantage is to respect the contract, as long as it is a matter of contract, they will obey it, and even their children and grandchildren will obey it, and this contract spirit is incomprehensible to the Chinese.

The contract was written in duplicate, borrowed the pen and ink of the restaurant, and the two pressed their handprints, the middleman was Boss Cai, and he also pressed his handprints, Xiao Ming put away the contract, said goodbye to Ai Qili, and took Gu Xiaoliu to Xixi Building.

Su Cai'er has not yet returned from the household department, and the matter of purchasing tribute silk is still relatively cumbersome, the imperial court last year's annual tribute purchase was in January, and basically just finished collecting taxes, and the imperial court calculated 21,468,000 yuan, this year's southeast and two Huai floods, the imperial court rescued, plus the salaries of officials from all over the country, plus the money and grain for the mobilization of the western army, this year's taxes have been a little stretched.

No wonder Song Huizong was a little moved when he heard that Xiao Ming was going to do business with Liaojin, this "redundancy" did give Huizong a headache, he could increase the country's income and recover the lost land of his homeland! Where can I find the best of both worlds?

Xiao Ming sat on the Xixi Tower and waited, waiting for several hours, the tea was changed twice, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious! Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Not good! Pulling Gu Xiaoliu and running out.

Su Cai'er now only has two martial artist guards with her, and now Pang Wanchun's men and horses don't know how many, if I were Pang Wanchun, I would definitely find someone around Xiao Ming, Ding Jianpeng has been arrested once, Su Cai'er will definitely be in danger, thinking of this, Xiao Ming ran out like a burning ass.

From the Xixi Tower in the outer city to the Hubu Yamen in the outer alleys of Xishangshu Province in the inner city, there is a city gate and more than a dozen streets......

On the street, a young man in a brocade robe was running wildly regardless of his image, and the people around him were all panicked and scattered, Xiao Ming was already very restrained, he didn't use the strange power on his body at all, but ran completely on his own physical strength, panting while running, and suddenly thought: "No, the other party must have a lot of people, you have to go and bring the tiger guards!" ”

Turning his head, he found that Gu Xiaoliu was gone, Xiao Ming said secretly: "I am a little reckless, the so-called concern will be chaotic, it seems that I need to think more about doing things in the future."

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming turned around to look for the car, he wanted to rush back to the inn to call someone, but there were ox carts everywhere, very few carriages, Bianliang City was really not as good as Hangzhou City, if there was no carriage, it was not impossible to run back on your own, but if you run in the crowd like a ghost in broad daylight, it will definitely cause chaos, and you can't go up to the roof to take a shortcut.

Xiao Ming had no choice but to look around for the carriage, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and there was a horse under the eaves! The horse was as red as coals of fire from top to bottom, without half a stray hair; From head to tail, one zhang long; From hoof to top, eight feet high; The nose is like thunder, the eyes are bright, although it is bolted under the corridor, but the muscles and bones of the whole body are like iron, if it is put in the wild galloping, the roar is really like a dragon!

The mane on the horse's head is a grass mark, obviously to be sold, but it smells, the owner of the horse is a lean man, is sitting down on the steps under the porch with a sad face, looking at the aroma wafting from the noodle restaurant opposite, the Adam's apple rolls, swallowing saliva.

Xiao Ming stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask this gentleman, do you want to sell this horse?" ”

The man said: "What the official asked, I can't afford to buy a horse, and I can't afford to raise it!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

The man looked up at Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming was dressed like a rich man, so he stood up and said: "This son, that's the case, this kind of horse is a war horse, which was bought by the villain after selling all his net worth, this horse looks like a divine horse but is not the material for pack goods and carts, but it is used to charge into battle on the battlefield, and the bean valley is amazing, not something that ordinary people can raise."

Xiao Ming saw that he was talking well, and he couldn't help but respect him very much, and arched his hand: "Such a good horse, why should Mr. sell it, isn't it a pity?" ”

The man said: "Don't hide it, the villain's name is Duan Jingzhu, Xiliang people's family, a good horse in his life, and he is called a horse idiot!" Intensive study of the art of horse training, last year through Ganliang Road, see this horse, know that it is a rare good horse in the world, then scattered the price to buy, I ride this horse does travel thousands of miles a day and night eight hundred miles of horses, get should be the world's famous general's mount, but the villain has been penniless, I heard that there are many famous generals in the capital, so I borrowed the road money to come here and wanted to sell this horse to the destined person, but the villain has been here for ten days, the body has been empty, I don't know what the fate of this horse is? ”

Duan Jingzhu shook his head and sighed, with a sad face, this horse idiot is not worried about his own situation, but about the situation of the horse, if no one buys this horse again, it is estimated that he will have to endure the pain of love, at that time, this kind of fate is only on the battlefield, and it must be the fate of pulling a cart and carrying goods.

When Xiao Ming heard this, he stepped forward and looked at the red horse again, only to see that the horse had no stray hair on its body, with a narrow waist and big buttocks, slender legs, and muscles on its chest, which seemed to be full of strength, and the two big eyes were watery, staring at Xiao Ming without blinking, and tilted his head at the same time, as if he was very curious.

"What a good horse!" Xiao Ming praised that although he didn't understand Soma, the horse in front of him didn't look like the horses he had seen at all, but like the kind of Western horse he had seen in equestrian competitions on TV! I couldn't help but admire in my heart.

"Dare to ask Mr. Duan, I don't know how much this horse will sell for?" Xiao Ming asked.

Duan Jingzhu thought for a while and said, "Originally, I wanted to sell it for five hundred gold, but now I can sell it for one hundred gold."

Xiao Ming was taken aback, "This price is not low!" The ancients said it was worth a thousand gold! It seems that the value of things is not at all the same for modern people as the ancients! ”

Xiao Ming said: "One hundred gold is a small matter, but I don't have gold or silver on me now, can you go with me to get the money?" ”

Duan Jingzhu nodded and said, "Since it is sold to the son, it doesn't hurt to follow you on a trip!" "Turn around and lead the horses.

Xiao Ming walked into the noodle restaurant opposite and asked for a few steamed buns and a plate of cooked beef! Packed these things, and when he walked out, Duan Jingzhu led the horse over, so he handed over the food and esophagus: "I see that you haven't eaten for a long time, and let's simply fill your stomach first."

Duan Jingzhu thanked him and took it, and something seemed to flash in his eyes.

Xiao Ming walked side by side with him, and asked him on the way, "Does this horse have a name?" ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Look at this horse, the red body and long ears are very long, the red rabbit horse ridden by Lu Bu Guan Yunchang in ancient times is probably like this?" But that red rabbit horse is a god horse of the ages, and using its name will make this horse die, so I named it 'Chiyu Satoshi'."

"Chiyu Cong! Chiyu Satoshi! What a name! Xiao Ming praised, "Cai'er must like this horse!" "Thinking of Cai'er, he secretly screamed that it was not good! said to Duan Jingzhu: "I have an urgent matter and must return to the Yuelai Inn quickly, what should I do?" ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Childe can ride back first, and I'll be there later."

Xiao Mingqi said: "I haven't even given you a deposit, aren't you afraid?" ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Childe doesn't know, this horse is tamed by me, even if you run away on horseback, as long as I whistle, it will naturally come back, so the villain can rest assured that you will ride away."

Xiao Ming said: "Then you have this stunt in your hand, isn't it that the horse is always afraid of being sold?" ”

Duan Jingzhu said with a smile: "The villain is an honest person, after the horse is sold to the son, he will naturally teach the son the method of taming this horse according to the agreement, so that he will recognize you as the master from now on."

It turns out that the most amazing thing about horse taming is that the ancient horse tamers will find that the characteristics of each horse are different, and the way to tame it is also different.

Xiao Ming thought for a while and said: "Forget it, my equestrian skills are not good, and I wasted the foot strength of this horse in vain, so let's go, you go and ride Chi Yucong to wait for me at the door of the inn first, and I will arrive later." ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Okay, in that case, the villain will take the first step," turned over and got on the horse, Chi Yucong only had a simple saddle on his body, Duan Jingzhu gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse neighed softly, let go of its four hooves and flew away......

"Damn! So fast! Xiao Ming shouted, looking in the right direction, lifting the placket of his clothes and unfolding the cloud body method, and chased after him like a puff of smoke.

Gu Xiaoliu caught up from behind out of breath, looking at Xiao Ming's back and wanting to cry without tears, "You want to run again?" ”

Xiao Ming gradually felt that the bone joints on his body began to heat up, and he couldn't help but slow down his steps, even so, passers-by were exclaiming: "you, look!" Shenxing Taibao! ”

……

Xiao Ming and Duan Jingzhu rushed to the door of the Yuelai Inn almost one after the other, Duan Jingzhu got off the horse and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xiao Ming, and said in his heart: "This son is a good method, isn't he full of thaumaturgy?" ”

Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief, finally arrived, and rushed into the residence in the backyard of the inn with Duan Jingzhu, who knew that he happened to bump into a tiger guard, and the person screamed in pain, and saw Xiao Ming hurriedly pay homage.

"Mr. Xiao! You're back! That's great! Miss Su has been waiting for you for a long time with a lot of people who are growing for a long time! ”

"What?"

Xiao Ming was shocked and said, "It turns out that nothing happened!" That's good, when did it come? ”

"It's been two hours!"

Xiao Ming said: "It seems that something has happened!" Take me there! ”
