"The escort agency? It's the delivery car company, right?"

"It's almost the same. The escort agency has a higher reputation. It can accept valuable goods and dare to carry gold, silver and money. It doesn't matter whether it is to take care of the job or not. It's mainly to cleanse Li Kui and Liu Tang. Both of them have criminal records. If you want to take a sword and a sword all day, you must have an identity. The easiest way to handle the procedures of an escort agency. You can carry the sword and the government approve it."

The escort agency belongs to a special industry, and the approval authority is in the head of the infantry, which means that Lei Heng needs to approve it. Naturally, there is no problem, but Chao Gai has more far-reaching considerations, and his energy is limited after all.

"The escort agency has temporarily stranded it. The soldiers from Chaojia Village have reported to the county government, with a quota of 200 people. The county magistrate also allocated fifty rusty pavilions to the village for defense. Liu Tang and Li Kui also obtained new household registration, and they are all tourists from Chaojia Village. Tomorrow we are going to buy horses and buy more than twenty horses. If it is appropriate, buy another hundred donkeys and use them for my shopkeepers."

"My brother is kind-hearted and it is really rare to protect the law. When the guards have horses, they are a mobile and fast cavalry, which is a bit expensive."

Chao Gai smiled and said, "Start from small things, do your own village well, and then do big things. If you come a little bit, it will be messy when the span is larger."

The next morning, Chao Gai called Chen Niu, who was in charge of the big animals, and brought more than a dozen farm directors. Chen Niu was in his forties and had gray hair, but he was strong and energetic, and he was very knowledgeable about animals.

"Master, please look for me."

"Yes, today isn't a big livestock market. I'll ask you to come and choose some livestock. Let's go to Ma City."

Ma City is not far outside the south gate of Yuncheng, surrounded by fences and covers an area of ​​dozens of acres.

In this year, large animals such as horses, cows, donkeys, and mules are all protected. They have to transfer and pay taxes in market transactions. If there is a problem, they cannot be dealt with privately. They must be reported to the official before they can be dealt with.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Chen Niu, and his group were walking in the market for a long time, and suddenly their eyes lit up. There were more than twenty good horses in the fence in front of them, with a slender figure, and they were riding horses at first glance.

Several men selling horses were wearing black clothes and a short knife around their waists. The leader was a man in his twenties, wearing silk clothes and flowers, and he looked like a young man from a wealthy family.

Chao Gai came over to pinch the horse's mouth and touched the horse's back.

The man selling horses was dissatisfied: "Do you buy it or not? Just touch it when you come up?"

Chao Gai said: "Ask your boss if you want him to see him?"

The young man behind came over and bowed: "Don't blame me, my subordinates don't understand the rules. Just watch it."

Chao Gai returned the favor: "I haven't asked what the head of the family is called?"

"Xiao Ke Zengmi is from Zengtou City nearby. Is Chao Baozheng going to buy a horse?"

Chao Gai was quite surprised: "So it's the second young master. How do you know me?"

"I went there yesterday, but I was there too. It's a pity that I went too late and there was no place."

Chao Gai quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, the shop only has more than twenty tables, but I didn't expect it to be full. I'll be the owner of the next day, so I'll invite the second son."

Chen Niu has a very deep study of livestock. These twenty horses are all three or four years old horses. Horses grown up in farmland have average foot strength, but they also have advantages, that is, they can take steps, are wild, easy to control, and can run more than a hundred miles a day.

"The owner of the manor, this batch of horses is good, but the age of a small person is not big, it is very suitable for riding for transportation, and it is probably OK to pull a cart and cultivate the land."

Chao Gai was very satisfied and could not expect to buy a first-class war horse. The entire Song Dynasty was scarce.

"Second Young Master, I've asked for all these horses. Tell me a price."

Zeng Mi was stunned. He had been in business for many years and had never seen such a buyer.

"This is twenty-seven horses? Bao Zheng is right."

"Don't worry, the second young master, Chao still has this amount of money."

"These horses are sold at a price of 32 and 30 stakes. Baozheng is determined to do it, and it will be fine for 30 stakes."

"It's OK, highlight and arrange for the account to pay."

Chao Gai used copper coins to pay, pulled a large carriage, and counted it one by one.

Zeng Mi was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that the business would come so rapidly. Although the Zeng family's wealth was rich, it had accumulated a little bit.

After completing the procedures, Chao Gai bought twenty aconite donkeys from the side at a price of ten to fifteen stakes, a female donkey with a water supply, which can breed a donkey baby.

The aconite donkey is a local species with a large size and a large size of 600 to 700 kilograms. The land is not worse than that of a horse, but the price is much cheaper than a horse. The most important thing is that the food is less, unlike the horses, which is not as expensive as the horses.

Zeng Mi saw that he bought so much and rushed over.

"Chao Baozheng, you still need a donkey, what about the thousands of heads in my family."

"If so, there are still a few hundred heads, but we need to produce a small donkey with a young age, which is big."

"That's fine, I'm so much. I'm writing a letter home and arranging someone to send 100 heads for Baozheng to see."

"Okay, as long as it suits me, I must."

When you spend money to buy things, who will buy it? When will you buy it one by one, it is best to buy it in batches.

There is a saddle shop next to the horse market. I bought dozens of sets of Takahashi saddles made of wood and cowhide.

Wu Yong was stunned: "Brother, if this money is spent like this, it won't last long."

Chao Gai didn't care: "Don't worry, Jialiang, the money is spent. The roads nearby are uneven, and walking or riding a carriage is slow, so riding a horse is the most suitable."

"Okay, what do you want to do when you buy so many donkeys?"

Chao Gai smiled slightly: "Send it to the tenants, so that the tenants can have livestock to work, and at the same time cultivate mules for us."

Wu Yong suddenly realized that the stallion and female donkey produced a donkey mule. The mule is stronger than a donkey, has stronger endurance, and is more suitable for pulling a cart on a farmland.

If that's the case, the more money you spend.

When twenty-seven horses were pulled in in the Chao family's backyard martial arts training ground, it immediately caused a sensation, and everyone watched sideways.

Chao Gai waved his hand and called Liu Tang, Li Kui, and Ruan Xiaoqi over. Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu went home.

"I bought some horses for transportation today. Let's choose first. Xiaoqi, you can choose for both brothers."

Ruan Xiaoqi looked embarrassed. He was a dragon in the water, but he had never rode a horse.

"Brother, I can't ride a horse."

"It's okay, I can't learn it, it's much easier than swimming."

There are Takahashi saddles and double-sided stirrups. Riding a horse is not complicated, but raising a horse is quite troublesome. Not only does it mean to feed grass and feed, they have to roll around and move their bodies every day.

Li Kui was really rude and went up to pull a horse. This was the biggest dark horse.
