Chapter 135: A Thousand Miles to Send a Mare
Gongsun Sheng nodded in agreement with Wu Yong's idea, now the mountain is in ruins, and any material is worth cherishing, let alone such a precious horse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that, in this way, they either choose to go back to the previous inn to find someone, or continue to go forward and find someone in the next county.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng told Wu Song what they thought and asked for his opinion.
Wu Song thought about the time it would take to go back, and reluctantly chose the next county, before letting them deal with the horses originally wanted to go to the next county first, after all, this place is still too close to Cangzhou, if these two horses find their way home, it will be easy to cause trouble.
The three of them agreed, and continued on to the next county.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng wanted to get off the horse and go with Wu Song, but Wu Song refused: "When you send the horse away, some of them are when you leave, now it's better to save a little of your physical strength." ”
Although Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng felt that they were underestimated, they really couldn't find a reason to refute it, so they obediently rode horses and followed Wu Song.
Wu Song's speed on foot was not slower than Wu Yong's horseback riding, and he didn't look exhausted at all, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng admired it very much.
In a hurry, at sunset, they were already able to see the county gate, and they rushed into the county seat in the last time.
This county is more prosperous than the previous one, probably because it is closer to Bian Liang.
Wu led the horses to the largest inn in the county, and asked them to take the horses to feed them, and at the same time asked them if there were any merchants who were willing to go to Shandong.
The only people who are willing to run back and forth in the summer are businessmen who are unprofitable and can't afford to be early.
The innkeeper said that he would help them inquire about it, and asked Xiao Er to take them up to rest first.
Wu Song saw that they were handling things in an orderly manner, and he was more relieved, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Early the next morning, when Wu Yong was having breakfast, the innkeeper led people over and introduced them to Wu Yong: "This one is the most powerful businessman on our side, just ask him if you have any requirements." ”
Wu Yong looked at this person, his complexion was dark, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously a shrewd person.
As for whether it was reliable, Wu Yong turned his head to look at the Taoist.
Gongsun Sheng nodded and said no problem.
Wu Yong spoke: "We brought two mares from the back, originally to send them back to our hometown, but now there is something temporary, we can't get out, and the family is waiting for these two horses, so I want to find someone to help us send the horse, if the silver, we will give you half here, and you can ask for the remaining half with the people over there after you send it, rest assured, we have already told that there in advance, and we will not deduct your silver." ”
Wu Yong waited for his answer after speaking.
After some consideration, he agreed: "You write me a note, so that they will not recognize it when the time comes." "In order to protect his own interests, he is also very careful.
Wu Yong nodded: "No problem, I'll write it to you now, and trouble the store to provide pen and ink." ”
The innkeeper neatly prepared the pen and paper on the clean table.
Wu wrote a letter with a brush and stamped it with his own private seal.
After the merchant put away the letter, Wu Yong gave him half of the silver taels first, and asked him to set off as soon as possible.
The merchant did not delay, and immediately left with the two horses that had already been fed.
Wu Song saw that Wu Yong had handled the horses, so he gave the innkeeper some copper coins as a thank you gift, after all, he introduced someone to come.
Wu had already given more when they gave the room money before, otherwise the innkeeper would not be so dedicated, of course, he would not have returned the money he could get.
The innkeeper was quite kind, and after collecting the copper plate given by Wu Song, he asked Xiao Er to give them a piece of beef on this table, of course, the price was definitely not as good as the money Wu Song gave him, and the merchant would not let himself suffer by nature.
After Wu Song and the others finished breakfast, they asked the innkeeper to replenish water and dry food, and then continued to walk in the direction of Qinghe County.
On the other hand, the people on Liangshan had just adapted to life in Zhuangzi, and the fields were rented out according to Wu Yong's instructions, and the rent was not collected much in the first year, mainly to keep the people.
This is a good time to sow wheat, and after the tenants rent the fields, they are busy with their enthusiasm, even if it is hot.
When the merchant came here, he saw such a hot scene.
When the tenants saw that a horse was being led, they asked their children to tell the steward to come, and in their minds, the horse was something that only the steward could afford.
The matter of managing the fields here A couple of a little old, before going up the mountain, were originally honest farmers, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no product in the field, they wouldn't have gone up the mountain.
When they heard the news from the children, they knew what was going on, they had just received a message from the military advisor flying pigeons.
The steward and his wife welcomed the merchant to the main house, which they had packed out and left for the military advisor, and it was not bad to greet guests now.
The merchant looked at the layout here, it was quite passable, it seemed that those two people were not Kuang himself, and he was originally prepared to come here and not get the silver.
The merchant still took out the letter in his hand and handed it to the steward and his wife: "This is the reward promised by your master, do you understand?"
Mr. and Mrs. Steward: "I understand." "Before they went down the mountain, they were all arranged by Wu Yong for emergency training, and there was no problem in reading the letters.
They compared the letter they had received with the letter they had received now, and when they confirmed that it was correct, they took out the remaining silver and gave it to the merchant and warmly invited him to stay in the village for two days.
After walking all the way, they were indeed a little tired, so they were not polite, and asked them to arrange a room for themselves, and they had to clean up themselves first.
The stewards and his wife arranged so thoughtfully that they couldn't say anything, so they enjoyed themselves, and when they came out, they saw them building stables.
The merchants stood on the side and watched, it can be seen that they had raised horses before, and the stables also knew that they should be arranged according to the height of the horses, but such talents would actually be in a small village in the countryside, and the merchants couldn't help but feel a little strange.
In fact, the steward and his wife still went to the mountain to ask for advice, and only then did they know that the stables were so exquisite, and they did not have the opportunity to contact such a precious animal, so they could only say that their flower shelves were very good, and even the eyes of the merchants were so fine.
The two horses were tied to the place next to them where the water and grass were abundant, and they were very happy to chew the fresh grass with their tails, even if the children of the village approached them, they only flicked their tails lazily.
