.

Bu Yi has been in Dongdu for a long time, but he still yearns for the life of turning back the ranch, but he has been tied step by step and cannot do what he wants to do as he wants. After all, horse trading is far from simple as he imagined, and it has too much connection.

In the inn, in addition to cheering up and practicing, when he was doing business, he would look for a few books he was interested in in Xiuwen Hall to read. He read quickly and read a lot. He felt that he was gradually like an ancient man, integrating modern views and understanding more principles. Of course, he would be bored when he went to Sigongfang to find Li Jing and ask him about the distribution of Xiaxia Pastures.

Li Jing was a horse official, an inventor, and later Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was not successful at this moment, he was not arrogant or full of complaints. If he was talking about business, he was much stronger than Yu Wenhua. Of course, Yu Wenhua didn't have to learn business anymore. In Xiao Buyi's eyes, he was already gloriously laid off. Now he didn't know whether to be stumbled in Dongdu or where to speculate. Xiao Buyi didn't expect to meet him now, but just asked Li Jing about the world's ranch. Although this was considered a state secret for official affairs, Li Jing was not dull. He knew Xiao Buyi's personality and would not talk nonsense, but he knew everything.

Only then did Xiao Buyi realize that the official horse farm was mainly distributed in Longxi, Hanoi and Jianghuai, and private horse farms were allowed, but they were generally reported to the court for record. Living horses like him was basically a banned crime. However, in recent years, it was different from the past. In addition to some horse farms, there were also private horses like Xiao Buyi. But there was only legal publication. Li Jing joked to Xiao Buyi in the yamen office that if Xiao Buyi wanted this approval, it would be absolutely fine if he issued it here, but he had to bribe the few kilograms of wine that he was the second brother before talking about it. Xiao Buyi was very happy at the moment and knew that Li Jing was serious and serious. However, it was not the rigid type. Since Li Jing let it go, he would basically have an official permission to sell horses in the future. That was an unexpected gain after he came to Dongdu.

In the information at Li Jing, Xiao Buyi unexpectedly discovered that Ma Xingkong was also registered. Ma Xingkong met the man in Yuan’s house. He has been a horse seller for many years and has experienced experience. Luling is in Jiangxi and is also a good place to raise horses. Ma Xingkong has some contact with the government and has records in the files in Li Jing’s hands. This time he came to Dongdu to sell horses to the court.

Although Li Jing was not a high official position, Xiao Buyi obtained much practical information from Li Jing. He also knew that in addition to Luling, most official horse breeding locations were along the canal. In this way, the canal water conservancy not only develops the economy, communicates transportation, but also has great benefits for horse breeding.

Xiao Buyi got up and had nothing to do, so she could be considered a day off. She wanted to go to Li Jing's office. Although Li Jing was cowardly and taciturn at home, she was quite prestigious in the office. Others believed him and called him Brother Li. When she learned that Xiao Buyi was Brother Li's brother, she loved the house and the world. She got along with him. Relatively speaking, it was much more interesting to have sex with those people than to discuss the dead with the old scholars in Xiuwen Hall.

He stood up and pushed open the door. He saw a noise from afar. The guy said repeatedly: "Customer, sorry, there is no merchant named Xiao Buyi here. Oh, I said no, why don't you believe it?"

Xiao Buyi followed the noisy sound and looked surprised. He quickly walked over and said, "How did you find this place?"

One of the two people who came was depressed and thin, while the other one was fat, as if the victim was eaten by him. When he saw Xiao Buyi, he was overjoyed and said, "Buyi, you are really here." After greeting Xiao Buyi, the man said to the clerk in dissatisfaction: "You said you don't call Xiao Buyi's merchant, which one is this?"

The guy rolled his eyes, "This guest official, his name is Bei Peidi."

Xiao Buyi then remembered that Yuan Xi had left for some time, but the friend had not forgotten his instructions. He was a little grateful to the guy for his duty and casually sent him to the guy and said, "My man, thank you, the debt collector has left. These two are my friends. Please make a pot of tea."

The guy rolled his eyes and turned into a smile. He grabbed the string of money and put it in his sleeves, and said, "Young Master Xiao, you are always so polite."

When the guy brought the tea over, Xiao Buyi brought the door and said in surprise: "Dezhi, Fat Huai, how did you find me? How is the copycat? I can't pull myself away."

The one who was depressed was Yang Dezhi, and the one who was fat was of course the Fat Huai from the Copyright. When they saw the two of them, they were only surprised. Xiao Buyi already knew that even if the copycat was not good, there would be no mistakes.

"Young Master, what's going on with the creditor you just mentioned?" Fat Huai didn't answer Xiao Buyi's question, and looked around and found that Xiao Buyi was simply in silence. His eyes turned red and tears almost fell, "Young Master, thank you for your hard work."

He was half false and half true, but the joy of seeing Xiao Buyi was self-evident.

Xiao Buyi looked up and down at Fat Huai and patted him on the shoulder, "How is your injury healed?"

Fat Huai grinned and said, "It's almost gone. Young master, you have been in Dongdu for so long, have you been living here?"

"Where do you live here?" Xiao Buyi asked curiously.

Yang Dezhi said, "Last time we went back to the village, we said that when we were in the east, we were all high-ranking officials. Fat Huai said that the young master must have lived a life of luxury and lushness, leaning against red and snuggling with Cui, so he asked that he must come this time. He didn't even see you, but he looked like Cui had grown hair, and he was inevitably disappointed."

Xiao Buyi wanted to laugh, but Fat Huai's face turned red, "Death, you are not kind, when did I say that I came here to Yihongjicui? I just came here to see what can help Shaozhu. Shaozhu. When did you hear that you were summoned by the emperor, what did you have to be named an official?"

"Chasing Scholar." Xiao Buyi smiled.

"Chasing the Craftsman?" Fat Huai didn't know much, "What are you doing?" When he understood what the Craftsman was doing, Fat Huai was furious and said, "Bu Yi, this is someone making things difficult for you."

Xiao Buyi didn't expect that he was angry. He even guessed and signaled him to speak softly. Yang Dezhi also frowned, "Buyi, the master of the village heard that you have arrived."

I miss you very much. I originally wanted to find you, but the second head of the army said that you can never travel around the sky by the little eagle, so I asked Pang Huai and I to Dongdu to find you to see if there is any place in need of help. The second head of the army said that you are from Pei family and are mature and steady. As long as you work carefully, there will be no big problems."

"Young master, what does the proofreader do? Pei Fang arranged the recommended fourth-level imperial examination candidates? He didn't even arrange the place for you to live. I'll let go and leave." Fat Huai said angrily.

—

"Bu Yi naturally has his plans. Fat Huai, it's not your turn to decide now." Yang Dezhi shook his head and said, "Bu Yi, I'll talk to you about the copycat first. Our ranch should be said to be of some scale. After considering the Lai San's last time, the staff of the ranch are absolutely trustworthy subordinates. Others don't know, and even the people of the copycat, many people don't know the exact location."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "It's always right to be careful."

"The money invested in the early stage of the ranch was very large," Yang Dezhi continued: "In addition to the necessary conditions for raising horses, the second head of the army also strengthened the guard measures. The second head of the army said that guard measures are essential, and this money cannot be saved. In the future, all the villages will be based on this. If they are occupied, they will be a wedding dress for others."

Xiao Buyi knew that Xue Buren and Xiao Dapeng were not giving it in vain, and praised him, "I just wanted to talk about it again and again, but I didn't expect that the second leader was more thoughtful than me. Is the money enough?" It seemed that he remembered something, Xiao Buyi went to the bed and carried a bag, which was quite important. He untied it and saw that there were clothes and a bookcase inside.

"Young master, what are you doing?" Pang Huai asked, "Did you have a problem with being a proofreader and bring a book in the package?"

Xiao Buyi smiled and opened the book box, which showed a soft golden light, which was a book box with gold leaves. When he left Mayi, the five-zhu coins, silver beans, and gold leaves given by the merchant were indispensable. Xiao Buyi was generous, but he was frugal. He used few silver beans, so the gold leaves were never used. In addition to the gold leaves, there was also a ingot of gold in the box, which weighed ten taels, which was given by Yang Guang.

"I can't use this money either. If you take it back when you go back to the counterfeit village, you can take it back in an emergency." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Yang Dezhi and Fat Huai looked at each other and shook their heads, "I finally came here, how could I go back so quickly." Yang Dezhi continued: "Buyi, although the ranch has invested a lot in the early stage, fortunately, many merchants have already sent money before you go out of the frontier. When the second boss went out of the frontier, they sold all of them into money and saved some money. They were a little nervous, but they didn't expect that we made another profit after turning around. Now they are not short of money."

He reached out and took a purse from his arms and put it on the table. Yang Dezhi smiled and said, "The second leader is afraid that you are nervous, so he asked us to bring some money for you."

Xiao Buyi looked at the purse and felt that although it was winter, it was full of warmth. "Then keep it all first and take it back together. Don't forget that I still have a salary now."

Yang Dezhi and Fat Huai looked at each other, and Fat Huai asked first: "Young master, don't tell me, are you going to be a proofreader in this place for the rest of your life?"

"That's not. Now it's late winter, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a flash. It's better to keep horses and other horses in the pastures. Are the horses in the pastures okay?" Seeing Yang Dezhi nodding affirmatively, Xiao Buyi was very pleased, knowing that they were all trying their best. "I'm now checking if I can contact some buyers. The approval documents from the government are not a problem. In the future, we sell horses and leave them in normal official channels."

Yang Dezhi was overjoyed, "After all, Buyi is still a headache for the fake village. It turns out that you have done it well! Buyi always takes a step forward faster than others, and he thinks more."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Just by chance, it's still useful to be a small official in Dongdu. By the way, Dongdu is so big, how did you find me?"

Fat Huai Yangyang was proud, "You are the leader, guess."

Xiao Buyi gave him a thrill, "Don't tell me to find a fortune teller to calculate the land."

"That's not." Fat Huai said proudly: "This is thanks to Dezhi. As soon as he arrived in Dongdu, he went to find the Yuan family's shop. Yuan Lan was there, so he told us that you are here."

Xiao Buyi thought that this method was simple and direct. But only Yang Dezhi thought of this method, "I haven't eaten yet, I'm fine anyway, so why don't you go out and find a place to deal with the two of you."

Fat Huai's saliva flowed down and he said loudly that the young master was wise.

Yang Dezhi asked, "Buyi, Yu Wenhua has not even come to Dong. Didn't he cause trouble for you?"

"He is in trouble with the earth now," Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "He has been demoted to serve as a people. I think he has to stay for a few days before he has time to find trouble for me."

Yang Dezhi thought more and was most worried about Yu Wenji. He was a little unbelievable when he heard Yu Wenji and the deposed position for the people and Xiao Buyi. He said after a while: "Buyi, since you are in Dongdu for the time being, you should check the situation, then we must be careful, Yu Wenshu."

"Dezhi. I said you, you are always afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. How can you do this?" Fat Huai said dissatisfied: "His son has been overthrown by the young master, so what's the point of Yuwen Shu? Be careful of this and that. If Yuwen Shu falls, will you pay attention to his aunt again?"

When Xiao Buyi saw Yang Dezhi's frown, he asked, "Dezhi, do you know Yuwen Shu?"

"He is just a bandit. Do you think he has relatives in the court?" Pang Huai teased.

"There are no relatives. But I still have some understanding of Yuwen Shu." Yang Dezhi ignored Fat Huai's joke and pondered: "Yuwen Shu is now the General of the Left Guard, and the General of the Left Guard Zhang Jin, but the status of the two cannot be compared in the eyes of the emperor. Yuwen Shu is greedy and despicable, and loves money as if he is life. He heard that the wealthy businessman and the Hu children in Longyou are rushing to give him gold, silver and treasures. Those who give a lot of money are recommended by Yuwen Shu to be appointed as officials. He has some ability in leading the army, but his greatest ability is

Emperor Xiao’s thoughts, he should do whatever the emperor said, not the severity of the severity, but the emperor likes this, so he trusts him very much. Although you have defeated Yu Culture and with Yuwen Shu’s nature, you will never let you go.”

Fat Huai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yang Dezhi understood this. Xiao Buyi knew that Yang Dezhi's background was not simple, so he didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "I'll be careful, but I'm a little proofreader. It's hard to do something wrong. I'm afraid he's not easy to frame him."

Yang Dezhi laughed, "Pang Huai said it well, we just need to know. It's boring to be worried about wolves in front and tigers in the back."

The three of them left the inn. After all, Xiao Buyi had been to Dongdu for a few months. She didn't rush to go to the restaurant first, but took the two of them to take a walk and see the scenery. Yang Dezhi was not unfamiliar with Dongdu, but Fat Huai was relished. However, the weather was cold and it took him not long to move. Fat Huai could not consume it, so he just had to eat.

Xiao Buyi found a restaurant on the street and took it to the second floor. There were not many people upstairs. There were two people drinking on their own in the corner. Although they were opposite each other, they didn't say much. Seeing someone going upstairs, the man looked up at the stairs. Xiao Buyi's eyes swept away and his heart moved. This person's eyes were full and sharp eyes!

He has been practicing martial arts for a while. He knows that people who practice martial arts often start with their energy, spirit and blood. The external manifestation is the momentum and eyes. This person is calm and has a strong gaze. You can tell at a glance that he is a practitioner.

The man stood over the age of the year, with a face with a bright face, and a stubble under the jaw. When he saw Xiao Buyi, he was slightly stunned and lowered his head to drink. The man had a felt hat on his left hand, which was used to block the wind and snow when he went out. Although he was drinking, his left hand tapped on the table, and his back was facing Xiao Buyi, and he straightened his waist, just picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Wang, come, drink."

Pang Huai didn't know anything. Yang Dezhi and Xiao Buyi looked at each other and knew that these two people were not ordinary people and did not have much trouble. They found a place on the street to sit down and enjoy the scenery. Xiao Buyi asked the guy to warm up the wine and ordered food. He just talked to Yang Dezhi. When Pang Huai saw the wine and food, he forgot to talk. He stuffed the three mouths into his mouth and said vaguely: "Buyi, the food here is more than a mountain..."

Yang Dezhi coughed, and Fat Huai woke up and changed his mouth: "It's much better than the wild vegetables in the mountains."

"You can eat some wild vegetables," Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Fat Huai, don't be anxious, no one will compete with you."

The man with a Chinese-shaped face picked up the wine glass, moved his lips twice, but did not make a sound. Xiao Buyi saw it and felt strange. However, Yang Dezhi reached out and drenched in the wine, and wrote the words "lip" on the table.

Xiao Buyi suddenly realized that the man with a national face was very cautious. He had martial arts skills and was afraid that people would listen to him, so he used lips to speak with his companions. He didn't know that he knew that his opponent was a master at first sight, but the other party could tell that Xiao Buyi was an extraordinary person at first sight.

Lip words are a kind of hidden words. Xiao Buyi didn't know this, but he knew a little about lips. When he said lip words, he only moved his lips and did not speak. In his era, some deaf children could also speak skillfully to other people through acquired hard practice, staring at other people's lips, just distinguishing their lip shapes and knowing how to speak.

I wanted to ask what Yang Dezhi said, but then I gave up. Everyone has their own privacy. Why do I have to explore it because of curiosity? The man who turned his back to Xiao Buyi was facing him at this moment. Xiao Buyi saw that the man had a slanted eyebrows, his magnificent weapon, handsome and without a rouge smell, and he secretly praised him, what a man.

Because everyone was afraid of each other, they were drinking and drinking, and suddenly the sound of gongs came from the streets and alleys. After the sound of gongs, the sound of footsteps came, as if there were many people. Even if Fat Huai heard it, they all looked up at the streets and alleys.

There were two rows of cavalry on the streets and alleys, and immediately held up signs that were quiet and avoided. There was a large sedan chair behind it, which was magnificent, with gold as the top and jade as the curtain. It was quite luxurious.

"Buddha, which official is this? How come he has such a state of elegance? Do you know?" Fat Huai asked curiously.

"This official's surname is Li." Yang Dezhi whispered: "It seems that it should be Li Zhuguo."

Fat Huai was very strange, but Xiao Buyi's heart trembled slightly. He suddenly felt something was moving behind him. He looked back and saw that the two people who were drinking were gone. He was stunned and An Lin and the two of them were so fast.

All three were attracted by the high-ranking officials on the street. They didn't pay attention to when the two left. Xiao Buyi didn't care about the two. He just asked Yang Dezhi, "Dezhi, how did you know it was Li Zhuguo?"

"There are Li in the brand, the sedan chair is luxurious, and the golden top and jade curtains are only able to have such honors." Yang Dezhi explained: "Even if the other officials in the land have this kind of sedan chair, they would not dare to sit in such a sedan chair."

When Xiao Buyi saw the pomp at the end of the street upstairs, he thought to himself, Li Zhuguo, killed his arrogant and domineering son, and he didn't know how he was. He was very luxurious and luxurious, but he didn't know how to restrain himself. With Yang Guang's temper, it was the way to die!

"I think what you said is wrong." Fat Huai said suddenly.

Yang Dezhi was puzzled, "Pang Huai, what are your opinions?"

"You said that only the pillar country has such honors as the golden-topped jade curtain. Isn't there a sedan chair on that side? Is it also a pillar country? Is it not known what the pillar country?" Fat Huai reached out to point to the other end of the street. Yang Dezhi looked at it, and his eyes were very surprised. There was also a sedan chair on the other end of the street slowly. Although the scale was not large, it was also a golden-topped jade curtain!

However, there were only four people carrying the sedan chair, the porter was strong, and there was a maid next to the sedan chair.

In this moment, the sedan chair had already arrived at the street below the restaurant, stopped and avoided the roadside. Seeing Yang Dezhi silent, Fat Huai was proud, "Dezhi, you have always claimed to be knowledgeable, it turns out that most of the time you were confused."

Yang Dezhi was not upset, but said, "I said that there will be no sedan chairs in all officials except Zhu Country. I did not say that the royal relatives in the palace cannot have such sedan chairs." After a little pondering, "I think most of the people who sit in this sedan chair are royal relatives, but they are also taboo to Li Zhu's power, so they are humble."

"How do you say it is reasonable." Fat Huai scoffed, "You know I can't ask."

Yang Dezhi smiled and said nothing, Li Zhu

He actually stopped, and a soldier rushed out of the team, walked forward from the sedan area, turned over and dismounted early, walked over respectfully and bowed: "Prince, please go first."

Although Xiao Buyi and Yang Dezhi were far away from the soldiers, both had strong ears, and the soldiers were also very loud, so they heard clearly and looked at each other and smiled. But Fat Huai asked from the side, "Dezhi, what did that person say?"

Yang Dezhi smiled and said, "He said he would ask Zhuguo to go first." He was teasing, and Fat Huai was confused, so he said, "Why is it another Zhuguo? This Zhuguo is too valuable, right?"
