Chapter 871: Wuji County

Liu Zheng, who has just arrived, naturally cannot swagger into Wuji County, and when he arrives at someone else's territory, he can only restrain his arrogance by a few points, and only take Dian Wei, Chen Dao, and Guo Jia to go to the inn restaurant in Wuji County to rest temporarily.

This Wuji County is also a good place, located in the North China Plain, leaning on Taihang in the west, facing the Bohai Sea in the east, and Gyeonggi in the north.

Of course, the current north is not the imperial capital of later generations, but it is also an important territory.

Because it is far away from the core battlefield of Jizhou, Wuji County, in the battle between the Yuan brothers some time ago, did not encounter the baptism of war, and most of the time, the people in Wuji County are still living and working in peace and contentment.

This point can be known by Liu Zheng from the daily life of these people in this Wuji County, as well as the merchants who come and go in the city.

To the north is Daijun, and to the north of Daijun is the territory of some Xianbei people, which is the foothold of Xianbei people and Central Plains people trade all year round.

It is precisely because of its natural geographical advantages that the Wuji Zhen family can trade and make profits.

"Melons and fruits, fresh melons and fruits."

"Guest officer, please inside, our store has good wine."

"Sell horses, sell horses, my BMW is a famous horse, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day!"

On the streets, there are quite a few hawkers calling.

When Liu Zheng and Guo Jia looked at such a scene, they really felt a little emotional.

I didn't expect that Jizhou, which should have been prone to wars, still has such a peaceful place.

If they didn't know that this was Jizhou, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia, they would really think that this was a small city in the south.

After walking around the streets of Wuji County, Liu Zheng and Guo Jia were already thinking about how to contact the Zhen family.

Liu Zheng and the Zhen family are not familiar with each other, so they dare not visit the door rashly, firstly, they do not know what the attitude of the Zhen family is, and secondly, they are also worried that this is Yuan Xi's territory, and if Yuan Xi has eyes and ears in the Zhen family, Liu Zheng will easily expose his identity when he goes.

After all, Liu Zheng clearly knew that Yuan Xi in history married Zhen Mi of the Zhen family, and Liu Zheng couldn't believe that Yuan Xi and the Zhen family had nothing to do.

Since he can't go to the Zhen family directly and contact the people of the Zhen family, Liu Zheng has come to this Wuji County, and he can't just give up, so he still has to think of a way.

In the north in May, it is not hot, but it is definitely not cold, spring has passed, summer has not yet come, spring ploughing is also considered to be busy, ordinary people have no farm work to be busy, most of the time, they begin to come out to set up stalls, sell some surplus crops, and some superfluous things, subsidize the family.

Wuji County is close to the northern nomads, so unlike the south, there are many people who sell horses, sheep, and dogs.

In this era, the meat was mainly eaten by sheep and dogs, and although pigs were also available, there were fewer in the north.

Of course, there are also some people who sell horses.

Most of the horses in their hands were exchanged from the Xianbei tribe, Karasuma tribe and others in the north.

Just like Liu Zheng used to exchange horses from the Karasuma people, an ordinary horse is probably worth twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

At a time when this kind of grain is relatively scarce, it could have been exchanged for fifty or sixty stone of grain, but now it can only be exchanged for twenty or thirty stone of grain.

"There are a lot of farmers selling horses on this street."

Looking around, Liu Zheng saw a lot of horse sellers, but they were all scattered merchants, and there were few horses, at most three or four, and seven or eight horses were better.

These people were all small merchants, who ran their own business, and went to the north to find some small tribes in Xianbei, and then traded salt and iron to them, and then bought some horses from the tribe and returned to the Central Plains.

Earn two price differences, when the market is good, this is indeed able to make money, after all, the round-trip is not far, half a month's time, enough to come to a trip, and this trip can earn several times the difference.

In half a year, the money earned is more than others earn in half a lifetime, which is why people who do business can get rich.

It's just that the profits are large, and the risks are naturally large.

As long as there is a slight difference in this, all the goods will be lost, and the life will not be guaranteed.

Not to mention whether the Xianbei people would really give them horses after taking the things of these traveling merchants, it was enough to make them worry about the bandits and rogues who were hiding somewhere on the way.

What's more, even if you encounter an official army, you may not be fine.

Some greedy officials and soldiers will also confiscate your wealth, and some of them will be insidious, and even kill people and goods like bandits.

It's really not easy for people who can really go on a trip and earn this little income.

"Lord, since we are here to pretend to be businessmen, then we might as well understand how the business here is done first, maybe in this way, we can slowly catch the line of the Zhen family."

When Guo Jia and Liu Zheng were still thinking about what to do next, he opened his mouth and gave Liu Zheng an idea.

"Well, it just so happens that there are a lot of merchants selling horses here, and we have been short of horses recently, so it is a good choice to buy some war horses from them."

"Haha, but the lord, you may have this idea in vain, even if we can buy a lot of war horses from here, it will be difficult to transport them back, the lord doesn't want to think about so many checkpoints on the way, how to pass?"

"Also, even if we buy horses, it's not good luck to go back, but buy less, and equip us with some horses, it should be no problem."

Although Liu Zheng is not too interested in buying a large number of war horses, it is still possible to buy less.

Even if he wanted to buy a large number of war horses, he didn't have enough money to buy them in the current situation.

After all, although he came to Jizhou this time, although he was pretending to be a businessman, the money he brought in his hand was not much.

Looking at the row of vendors selling things in front of him, Liu Zheng found a merchant who only sold horses and walked up.

"This brother, how do you sell this horse?"

The man glanced at Liu Zheng, but he had some concern for Liu Zheng's appearance, after all, through Liu Zheng's dress and the servants around him, this person knew at a glance that Liu Zheng's status was not low, so he immediately replied to Liu Zheng with a smile.

"This gentleman, my horses, but they are all good horses sold back from Xianbei, for farming, it is simply overkill, even for the purpose of a carriage and horse, it is completely okay, the price is good and cheap, if Mr. really wants, give me 28,000 yuan now!"

This dealer immediately introduced Liu Zheng.
