Chapter 3, Buy Dragon Horse on the Black Market
After arriving at Dawan, the order here is much better, and this is the most prosperous place in the Western Regions except Loulan. The North and South Silk Road is here, and there are a large number of merchants in each city. Although there are not many Han people, there are many people from Loulan and Guizi, some of which are sent from the Han Dynasty. It was bought directly from the Han people by Loulan, and the price is relatively fair.
Fu Jiezi and Yuantong came out to buy horses, but Su Qiaoer wanted to see if her father's people would appear here, so she also wanted to follow. Gonia and Pan Youyun were not interested in this, so they had to rest in the post stack early.
Along the way, Su Qiaoer looked at it and saw that she had to buy some. Fu Jiezi thought that she didn't have any daily necessities, so she bought some. Anyway, the money was enough, but she didn't expect that there would be no end to this purchase. Fu Jiezi had to remind her that we are here to buy horses. You will walk there when you spend all the money. Go to the city.
Su Qiaoer felt that she did buy a lot of useless things, but for some reason, as soon as those people said that they had to buy it, they felt regretted buying it and said, "Then I'll return it."
Women are for those who please themselves, and men are poor for those who please themselves.
Fu Jiezi sighed and said, "Forget it, you should buy them. Your father has these things. Why did you buy them? Don't listen to those people fooling around anymore. Let's go and see the horse.
Su Qiaoer answered, and Yuan Tong praised, "Xiaofu, Qiaoer is still obedient and easy to serve. The one in your house and the one in my house are not very obedient.
Fu Jiezi nodded with the same feeling. When Su Qiaoer saw them, her face turned slightly red, and she walked quickly in front of her.
Fu Jiezi said, "Uncle, Dawan's sweat-blooded BMW is a famous horse in the world. If only I could buy a few. Anyway, let's go to the horse market first."
Yuantong is not as affectionate as Fu Jiezi. He just buys a few animals. He doesn't have much opinion. What Fu Jiezi said is what he said.
The three walked for a while and asked Ma Shi all the way. Fu Jiezi was suddenly stunned when he saw it. The model of this horse market is simply the Fu family's horse farm seven years ago.
There are 3,000 horses in it, all of which are raised in a pasture. There are not mountains or river banks on all sides, and there are fences. There are special wrangers guarding them, which looks very large.
Fu Jiezi thought that when he was in Bedi County, his Fu family also raised 2,000 horses. If it hadn't been for the war, he would still be a horse merchant.
Businessmen can at least be with their loved ones. A war of the Xiongnu not only took away his racecourse, but also the lives of his beloved.
It's sad to think of these.
Yuan Channel: "Xiaofu, don't think about those sad things. Wait here for a while. I'll ask about the situation." After saying, "Qiaoer, it's up to you."
Su Qiaoer nodded and went to work as a translator. Fu Jiezi said, "Let's go together."
When I asked the gatekeeper of the horse farm, I learned that the horses here were official horses. If they were caught selling horses without permission, they were going to be beheaded.
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why is the punishment so heavy?"
Su Qiaoer said, "He said that all the horses here are official horses. Every horse is branded, and there is no way to sell them. Moreover, there are many wars in Dawan. For military reasons, horses cannot be sold by name."
Fu Jiezi said, "How can this work? We are here to beg for horses. Ask him. Our Han Dynasty sent messengers to beg horses. What's the situation now?"
Su Qiaoer asked and said, "He said he didn't know what messengers of the Han Dynasty begged for horses. He only cares about this horse farm. No matter what, he won't sell horses. If he wants to buy horses, he can go to the market to buy horses, or go to the black market to buy them.
Fu Jiezi said, "In this case, ask them if they can let me go in and have a look. I'm also a master of Xiangma, and I just want to see how the horses in here are."
Su Qiaoer asked again, but was kicked out by everyone and said, "Brother Fu, they said that if we don't leave, they will arrest us. This is spying on the military situation in Dawan and will light the skylight."
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but look big. Lighting the lantern is a very severe punishment. It seems that Dawan's management of Ma is indeed very strict. He said, "Forget it, let's go."
Yuan Channel: "Xiaofu, I'm afraid we can't buy a good horse in the horse market. We might as well go to the black market to have a look."
Su Qiaoer couldn't help but be a little scared when she heard that it was a black market and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Fu Jiezi said, "This depends on luck. Let's go and have a look."
They talked, but they couldn't find a black market. They still walked around the market and didn't see the right horses. The horses here are far less expensive than those of the Han Dynasty. After all, they are the hometown of famous horses, and the price should be fairer.
But the best horses seen in the horse market are some tall Tianma. Although this is already the best of the horse, Fu Jiezi came back and begged for a sweaty horse. He bought a few horses to ride. Although it is more expensive, it can be included in the number of purchases, so he can buy it. Sweat-blooded horses try to buy sweat-blooded horses. If you buy some Mongolian horses here, they will definitely be regarded as jokes.
After turning around, I didn't see the shadow of the sweaty horse. After asking, I knew that all the sweaty horses had been acquired by the state. For the use of combat, the sweaty horses raised by civilians were also forced to be sold to the officials. Otherwise, only some noble families could have sweaty horses for the crime of mistaking the army.
Fu Jiezi was extremely disappointed. It seems that it is really difficult to get a sweaty horse. It seems that he can only go to the nobles or officials. But they don't know anyone here. How can they find an official?
At this time, a man suddenly called them behind him. Fu Jiezi saw that he was the fierce gatekeeper of the horse farm just now, but he seemed to be careful. He knew that only Su Qiaoer knew his language best, so he attached it to Su Qiaoer's ear and said, "This young lady from afar, how many Ahaljie golden horse do you want to buy?"
Ahaljie Jinma is the real name of the sweaty horse in Dawan. The reason why it is called the sweaty horse is that Zhang Qian came to Dawan more than 20 years ago and found that this kind of BMW was actually bleeding like sweating. He was puzzled and named this god-like horse the sweaty BMW, and was later named "Heavenly Horse" by Emperor Wu of Han. Or "Dragon Horse".
Su Qiaoer asked Fu Jiezi, who hesitated for a moment. This kind of person is often not very reliable. If he talks too much, it may make them suspect that they are trying to kill or desperately raise the price, so he said, "We need three horses. Look at the horse first before bargaining."
The man couldn't help but be a little disappointed and said, "As long as there are three, it's easy."
Hearing his tone, Fu Jiezi was going to steal the horse into the horse farm and couldn't help frowning and said, "Where does the horse come from?"
Su Qiaoer asked, and the man said, "You don't need to know where the horse comes from, but you can't pass it on. You can leave here after riding it. And the price is high.
Fu Jiezi thought that buying the horse he stole here will definitely cause trouble and said, "We are going to the second city. If there is a problem with your horse, we will not buy it. You'd better talk about the source first. Whether it's good or bad, businessmen are honest, and we won't spread it.
The man seemed a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still said, "You two are sincere to buy horses. Don't worry, I will be in danger in this horse business, but everyone is fine. This is what I told everyone about before. This horse is indeed not the horse in this horse farm, but because the people dare not raise it privately, we have collected some horses in the horse farm, but it is not branded. These horses can be sold by noble eunuchs, but we have to secretly stuff them to the official.
Fu Jiezi said, "But in this case, isn't it the same trouble for us to ride out?"
The man said: "When the horse is sold, it will make the imprint of the nobles and become a horse, which is not an official horse. Don't worry, just ride it."
Fu Jiezi was much relieved when he said this and said, "Well, you can take us to see how the horse is first."
The man said: "Ahaljie Jinma is a descendant of Pegasus. The common hair colors are light gold, jujube red, silver white and black. The head is thin and neck are high, the limbs are slender, the skin is thin, the skin is thin, the pace is light, the strength is fast, the speed is fast, and the endurance is strong. This is also the best horse in the world. Horse friends, don't worry, it's definitely a good horse.
Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "I've seen this kind of horse many times. You don't have to say more. Just take me to see it."
He saw the sweaty horse in the royal family, and Gui Shuangyihou also sent him one, but he was asked by the little queen. He had seen the speed and strength of the sweaty horse.
The man took them to a whistle not far from the horse farm and said, "Wait here for a moment, and the horse will be there in a moment." With that, I went.
Su Qiaoer was still worried and said, "Brother Fu, will there really be no problem? It's not good."
Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's take a look at Ma first." Fu Jiezi loves Ma Chengchi and is dangerous, so he is not afraid of anything. Yuan Channel: "Don't worry, Qiaoer, this black market is the same everywhere. It's similar to that of our Han Dynasty. They are all collusion between officials and businessmen. It's nothing serious to get rid of oil and water from the court."
Su Qiaoer nodded. She was pure-minded and completely different from her father.
After a while, the same guy brought three horses, a silver-white two jujube red. Fu Jiezi couldn't help admiring them. He touched them and looked at them again and again. These three horses were really not ordinary. They were smooth and clean, with high necks and their legs were slippery and slender...
Besides, it's like talking about women.
But these three horses are indeed top-quality. The sweat-blooded horse has all the characteristics. Fu Jiezi is a master of Xiangma. Naturally, he will not only look at these. Looking at the horse's brain shape, ears, hip width and leg length, the more you look at it, the more you like it, but you forget the unspoken rules of buying and selling. If you like it, it is equivalent to increasing the price yourself.
Sure enough, the man began to ask for the price. A good horse and a daughter can't be bought by a large family in the Han Dynasty, and only nobles can buy it. Not only horses, but also bows and arrows, knives, guns, spears, halberls, and lances are all very expensive weapons. Generally speaking, if you are poor and rich in martial arts, why do you learn martial arts if you are not rich?
The sweaty horse is too expensive, and the price increase is too fierce. Fu Jiezi said, "Although I praise your horse, it is also compared with ordinary bad horses. This horse is definitely not the best in your horse farm. If you sit on the ground like this, we won't buy the horse."
The man laughed and said, "My friend is joking. This horse is indeed not the best in the horse farm, but it is the best we can sell. I just watched my friend Xiangma all the way and knew that my friend was a master of Xiangma and couldn't fool him, so I didn't use the bad horse to confuse you. And friends don't know that we all choose horses to sell in the horse farm.
Fu Jiezi said, "How do you say this?" Generally speaking, good horses are unwilling to be sold casually.
The man said, "One is that when we began to choose the horse, we all left the best without a mark and kept it privately. The horse is particular about varieties, so no matter how bad the horse is sold, it is also a top grade, and friends have seen it; secondly, if this horse is the best, then it is the king of this group of horses, and the horses will follow it around it. This is too windy, and it is easy to find out that there is no imprint. Third, cough, the best horse was asked by the official himself, and they also picked it up, so our little Lou Luo kept a good horse is not his own, so he has the opportunity to sell one by one and make a few more money.
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be relieved when he heard this. It seems that there are people who drill leaks everywhere in the court. Although this is a bad thing, there are everywhere. Fu Jiezi just wants to buy horses and is not interested in the official governance of Dawan Kingdom. Although this person is a moth of the court, it has nothing to do with him, so he also treats him. I can't say I'm disgusted, but because I met a good horse, I have a good impression of that man.
Bargaining with the man was a compromise. Fu Jiezi bought three horses, which were indeed expensive. Fu Jiezi said, "Qiaoer, which one do you want to ride?"
Su Qiaoer pointed to the white one, and Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "I guess this horse is understanding and obedient. Don't worry about riding it."
The three got on the horse and went back. Because the horse farm was far from the market, they walked for more than an hour to arrive, and it was in a secluded place, so they had to hurry back quickly.
At this time, it was much faster to ride a horse. Su Qiaoer rode a white horse in front. Obviously, the horse did not come out for a period of time and ran happily. Fu Jiezi was worried that Su Qiaoer would fall down and followed Yuantong closely, but found that Su Qiaoer's riding skills were very good. She also rode horses since she was a child, and did not have high horse legs. She was hugged up, and later came to the Western Regions and rode for a long time, so she seemed weak, but her ability to ride was not small.
I walked around the foot of the mountain. This is a flat and shallow bend, surrounded by weeds, and a path that is not wide or narrow leads to the distance.
Su Qiaoer's horse suddenly stood up, stopped in place and refused to leave. Su Qiaoer didn't even ask twice. The child asked angrily, "Maer, why don't you leave?"
And at this moment, Fu Jiezi suddenly shouted, "Qiaoer, come back quickly! Hurry up and turn back!"
The voice is full of fear and anger.
