Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen Two Great Horse Merchants
Cheng Liang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but when Liu He heard the name "Zhang Shiping", he seemed to have picked up gold!
"Zhang Shiping, the Malaysian Shang mentioned in the Romance, and he and another fellow villager Su Shuang once sponsored the three brothers Liu Bei to raise an army. The famous Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Eight Point Steel Spear, and the male and female double-stranded sword were made of iron they sponsored. These two can be called the top rich people in the Three Kingdoms. The other one of the two Ma Shangs mentioned by the third brother should be Su Shuang! It seems that Zhang Shiping should be named Zhang Ding, whose courtesy name is Shiping."
Liu He was very excited. This was really a sleepy pillow!
He grabbed Cheng Liang and shouted almost with a roar, "That's great! Is there a way for the third brother to contact these two?"
Cheng Liang was frightened by his capture, and Liu He also found that he seemed to be a little overly excited and lost his composure. He quickly regained his expression and sat upright.
"Brother Yu was just excited, just excited, haha."
Cheng Liang didn't think much. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's impossible to contact me. In fact, since I remembered, my family has never contacted them. They thought we were poor and we thought they were embarrassed to do business, so they never had any contact. But I know where their family is."
Liu He immediately slapped his thigh and stood up: "Okay! Second brother and third brother, tomorrow morning, you two will bring a box of coins as deposit to Zhongshan Country to find these two horse merchants. Be sure to buy a good horse and good horse!"
Guan Yu and Cheng Liang just thought that Liu He was eager to buy horses, so they didn't say much.
"Don't worry, brother!"
Liu He thought of Cheng Liang's character again, and was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he quickly instructed: "Two brothers, please go to Zhongshan here, remember to establish a good relationship with them. In the future, we will beg for others, but don't act recklessly."
In this era, the social status of merchants is extremely low. Even ordinary people may not look down on a businessman who does big business. What's more, his brothers are now in a different position. If Cheng Liang offended these merchants by saying the wrong thing, he was afraid that the other party would be angry and not do his own small business for a while, it would be troublesome.
"Brother, don't worry, even if I give up my face, I will definitely get it done!"
After the two of them said this, Liu He felt relieved.
After drinking and eating, the few people left, Liu He went to see Zhang Yu. Seeing that she had already fallen asleep, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she returned to her room.
Lying on the bed, Liu He was filled with emotion.
I am about to be truly involved in the whirlpool of this chaotic world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. I don’t know what will happen in the future. I didn’t expect that I was only nineteen years old. According to current standards, I am still a minor and have become a county magistrate in a city. It is really sad.
Liu He was feeling here, and the system's voice suddenly appeared, completely awakening him from his slightly drunk state.
"System prompt: the host completes a hidden task and occupies a county town before he is twenty years old. As of now, Langdiao County has been controlled by the host from the county town to the countryside and has obtained the position of county magistrate appointed by the court. The system has begun to calculate rewards for the host..."
Liu He suddenly sat up, full of anticipation.
"Haha, I don't know what reward I can give me. I feel that I have completed this task quite well, the time is ahead of schedule, and the results of governing the county town are obvious to all. Hehe, I hope the boss of the system will be more powerful."
Just as Liu He's various conjectures, the system's voice sounded again: "The system measures the completion of the host task and is recognized as excellent. The reward is awarded as follows: the host's political attributes are improved by 1 point, the lucky turntable has a chance, and the points are 500 points."
"Great! This reward is quite impressive! Just these 500 points can make me do a lot of things! It's really worth it."
Liu He cheered and almost jumped up.
Liu He happily "looked" at these rewards he received and wondered how to use them.
"Well... let's use the lucky turntable first!"
Liu He selected ten convertible items from the warehouse and put them in a large turntable to rotate.
"Congratulations to the host, I received a copy of the "Shenjiao Cultivation Picture Album" and has been stored in the system warehouse."
This reward finally helped Liu He recover a little.
Although this album is not expensive among the ten items he chose, it comes in time. Just when he was preparing to buy horses, it was considered timely raining, so Liu He could fully accept it.
"When you have points, then quickly exchange "The King of Armor Forging Map" and "The King of Beasts Taming Manual". I have been waiting for these two books for a long time."
As soon as the consciousness moved, 400 points were spent, and immediately there were only 178 points left.
The next day, Liu He handed over the "Divine Horse Cultivation Picture Album" and "Beast King Taming Manual" to Zhao Chang, and the "Armor King Forging Picture Album" was sent to the Five Wolf Valley.
Zhao Chang was extremely excited when he saw the "Beast King Taming Manual". After turning a few pages, his eyes were already shining, and he was no longer willing to let go, as if someone would compete with him.
But what made him a little confused was that he was only interested in cultivating beasts. He knew nothing about taming horses, so he was completely uninterested in the book of raising horses.
However, Liu He couldn't control so much and insisted on letting him learn according to the picture album.
Liu He also had his own considerations. The Black King would be his own mount in the future, but Guan Yu and his cavalry all rode horses. The Black King, the fierce tiger, not only had a deterrent to the enemy's war horses, but also to his own family.
So Liu He planned to keep the war horses and the Black King next door together in the future, so that these war horses gradually got used to the power of the Black King. When they go to the battlefield, they naturally won’t be in trouble.
In addition, in a short period of time, Liu He had no place to find someone who was good at raising horses, so this important task can only be handed over to Zhao Chang together. Anyway, they are all taming animals and raising animals.
All major events have already been settled, and Liu He finally has some free time.
After a long cloudy day of rain and snow, the weather finally cleared up on this day. Liu He took Zhang Yu out for a walk.
Liu He helped Zhang Yu and came to the bamboo forest in the backyard and sat on a stone bench.
"Husband..." Zhang Yu called out softly, Liu He looked at her and rubbed her hands gently.
"Yu'er, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yu smiled slightly: "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about it. I don't know if the boy or girl was born this time."
Liu He gently stroked the back of Zhang Yu's hand and said softly: "Haha, what's the harm of men and women? As long as the child the wife gave birth to me is all the blood of my Liu family, I like it."
Zhang Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "When did my husband become so slick?"
Liu He shaved Zhang Yu's nose and cursed with a smile: "How come I am so slick. What kind of person is a husband? Do you still don't know what kind of person is? Madam?"
"But yours has been a single pass since your grandfather, and it can't be cut off in my hands."
Zhang Yu stroked her big belly, obviously hoping that she was pregnant with a boy.
Chapter completed!
