The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Money for selling horses

Yan Laoer smiled and patiently coaxed some distressed old men.

It is not easy to feed a good horse, let alone a lame one.

At that time, the fight with Beirong was so hot that it was either you die or I live, who can care about the horse.

"Uncle Luo, I made a mistake, okay? From now on, I will keep the old lame ones... I will serve them with delicious food and drink, and feed them with beans, caramel, and concentrate. If they can sell for ten taels, it is ten taels." Yan Laoer smiled hippiely. Said.

Village Chief Luo glared at him angrily, then came to his senses and asked suspiciously, "Is it really only worth ten taels?"

The prince said openly: "The difference is not less than this number, fifteen taels at most, the price difference between a bad horse and a good horse is huge, there is no one in a thousand real horses, and it may not be possible to buy a few hundred or even a thousand taels. It is rare to get a horse. If it costs more than a hundred taels, a medium horse also costs seventy or eighty taels of silver, the most common one is a dismounted horse, which varies from three to fifty taels, depending on the age of teeth, skeleton, legs, and hoof shape... There are many things to talk about here."

He speaks deliberately slowly so that everyone around him can hear him clearly.

"In that case, we don't lose much." Old Song was the most shrewd, and soon understood the account here. "The horses are so difficult to raise. If you really want to keep them and not sell them, how much do you think it will cost you?"

"No." Yan Laoer clacked to settle accounts for the big guy: "The lame one has to be raised to the bone, and it may not be able to be raised back. If it can't be raised, the horse will be useless. It can't do work by eating alone. We want it to do it. What." Naturally, let Gu Feng take it away as soon as possible, and save fodder.

"I've inquired about it. Bei Rong is a thief. When the market was opened, the horses they sold to us were all gelded, and we were not allowed to keep the seeds. The horses they rode themselves were neat. Hehe, those males The horses looked good, and they were sold for a lot of money. There were also a few mares with cubs, who didn't look pregnant. Mr. Xue still wanted to deceive me. How could it be possible? I touched them one by one, one by one. For the price of two and a half horses, bet on the birth of strong and vigorous colts."

Qi Si listened fascinatedly, and asked stupidly: "Then what if the birth is not strong, do we have to pay others?"

"What do you pay for?" Yan Laoer said confidently: "I am willing to admit defeat, and we didn't ask them to buy it. This is all cheap for them. If we want to send Mara to the capital, the price has to be doubled."

"That is to say, the horses here in Guanzhou are cheaper, and other big houses can't buy good horses with money." Yan Laoer said: "It's the same sentence, let's let Xue Zongqi tie the knot to sell, one way saves trouble, two They are all sold to frontier soldiers everywhere, and we will accept them if they are cheaper."

"A lot, a lot." Uncle Hu said with a smile.

Hu Da took the silver and returned to hand it to his father. The old man smiled from ear to ear.

"The seventy-six horses in the village, the minimum is twenty-five, some sell for one hundred and two, not many, just a few top ones, the middle-of-the-road accounted for the majority, and each horse was more than fifty. Bar."

What Yan Lao Er didn't say was that Xue Zongqi had done his best. He and the people in the middle, Yan Lao Er, had stuffed some money. It is better to share the profit. This is called making money for everyone, and no one should be jealous.

Including the more than 4,000 taels of silver in hand, take out two shares, and every family has one share, and the same meaning is put in the village.

Those who eat meat eat meat, and the rest also drink some soup.

Yan's second son glanced at his daughter, received the money one by one, and the aisles were soft, heh, promising!

He deliberately didn't think about the fact that he and Xue Zongqi finished reconciling accounts, and when he came back, he grabbed his daughter and went back and forth to count five times.

One night on the kang like pancakes, he finally fell asleep, drooling from the pillow, his wife said that he talked about four thousand and one thousand in his sleep...

The first one is the total amount, and the second one is the amount of money that his family can get.

He also used his neck as a silver gnaw...

Eunuch Wang took a sip of water and pressed down.

He knows where these horses and cows in Xiaoan Village are obtained.

That Xue Zongqi is the uncle of the son, who came here a while ago to send two horses to the son. At that time, when he mentioned this Xiao'an village, he heard it familiar, so he paid attention.

Later Xiao Er came to deliver pancakes, and when he asked, it was indeed the Xiaoan Village where Yan's family was located.

In the huge Yongning City, Xiaoan Village is not the only one that has fellow villagers from Qishan Mansion. Why is he willing to associate with them? At the beginning, it was Yan Er who came to do things. The villagers are down-to-earth.

Listen to what these people are saying.

This one says to buy a few more large tanks and put them in the yard for storing water, pickling vegetables, and by the way, frozen meat.

Discuss with my daughter-in-law, let's buy a pig together with my brother's family during the Chinese New Year, pick fatter ones, boil lard, save it, our two families can eat it for a year, and we can keep the meat and bones for ourselves. The elders, coyly said that they don't want to take out food, they want to keep two families to eat, the big pig's head has been arranged, and it will be offered to his father, so that the old man can eat something good over there...

There is also a person who wants to buy fishing nets, saying that it is really exciting to use Yan's fishing nets to catch fish in summer. We are rich, and we will buy one for ourselves. We will go to catch fish every day in the future. It seems that the yard is full of sunshine...

Oh, there is another one who is more ambitious. He said that he wants to build a house with blue bricks on the outside and red bricks on the inside. all right!

The ears of the prince are full of these simple and innocent "wishes".

Listening and listening, Wang Gonggong also slowly joined in, discussing with the big guys what to add to the house.

Once the money for selling the horses is paid out, the cattle and sheep will be divided immediately.

The atmosphere is more enthusiastic.

Your family came to my house, and my family came to his house. There were so many people, I wish I could grow another mouth right away.

Yan's second child has become the most popular pastry.

The whole thing was pushed away.

"Yan Er, your family must be the first one. You choose a bull and a cow? How many will give me one..."

"Second brother Yan, how much do you sell to me?"

"Yan Er..."

Even Mrs. Tian was infected and clenched her fists nervously.

Regardless of the fact that you get a lot of money from selling horses, it still feels different compared to the work of cattle and sheep.

Farmers value livestock, especially cattle.

"Father, come and help!" Yan Yu shouted.

Yan's second son rushed out from the crowd.

"Father, I remember, you help others to calculate points." Yan Yu understood her father's arrangement.

"middle!"

Yan Er Er cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me first!"

On the small second floor of the bamboo stove, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to move a pony up. There are too many people below.

Good guy, just now, I don't know what happened next door, it's like boiling water.

In order to get closer to the reality, I checked the information for a long time~

Horses, especially tamed war horses, are really expensive. The upper, middle and lower here are graded according to the tea horse trade in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court would switch trade with the surrounding Fan tribes every three years, and the best horses could be exchanged. For 120 catties of tea, medium horses can exchange for 70 catties of tea, and inferior horses can exchange for 50 catties of tea.

Don't worry about the price of tea, because it's very cheap, about tens of pennies a catty, our ancestors knew how to do business haha~

The price of a bad horse is about 10 taels and 15 taels.

Ordinary families in the ancients really couldn't afford to raise a horse. It is a rectum, and it can be eaten as much as it can be eaten.

Let's go to the next chapter~ See you in the evening~(*▽*)~
