The low city walls and the sparse crowds surprised Pei Changhao.

Pei Changhao also heard about Su Chunhua boasting about the lively and prosperous county town. Although he did not completely believe it, he thought that the county town must be lively, there must be a lot of people, and the city walls and houses were quite grand. In fact, this is also the inherent characteristics of the city in ancient times. Generally speaking, famous families would purchase land, build houses, and buy shops in the county town. The county government would also spend a certain amount of money to repair the city wall. Almost all resources in the county were concentrated in the county town to ensure the lively and prosperous city to the greatest extent.

After thinking a little, Pei Changhao shook his head helplessly.

The long-term war, including the capital Chang'an and the accompanying capital Luoyang, were all desolate, and the rest of the place was so good.

There were guards at the city gate, and they looked listless, so they were too lazy to even look at the people entering and leaving the county town.

When Pei Changhao led his horse into the city gate, he looked at the soldiers guarding on both sides of the left and right.

Su Chunhua was quite familiar with the situation in the city and took Pei Changhao and Su Chungui to find the inn with the best conditions in the city.

The first-class room in the inn requires eight cents of silver for one night.

The price is very high. You can buy one stone of barley noodles for eight cents of silver, which is enough for a strong laborer to eat for a month.

Pei Changhao didn't care. The three of them stayed overnight and consumed two or four cents of silver, so there was no problem.

However, the high price of the first-class hotel in the county town has also made Pei Changhao understand one truth, that is, the money he owns is the richest man in Heluo Village, and he will spend his entire life without worries. When he comes to the outside world, it is really nothing.

No wonder Pei Che emphasized in his letter that he should not be extravagant and wasteful.

The conditions for getting to the A-level room are average in Pei Changhao's opinion. Although it is a suite, the furnishings are very simple. The reception room has only a table and a few chairs, a teapot and a few tea cups, and the bedroom has a bed.

After staying there, Su Chunhua came to Pei Changhao's room.

"Brother Chunhua, you are very familiar with the situation in the county and know where the largest market in the county is."

Su Chunhua spoke quickly without hesitation.

"The largest market in the county is in the south of the city, not very far from here. It takes only half a quarter of an hour to walk there, and you can buy anything there..."

Pei Changhao smiled. Su Chunhua's so-called purchase of any goods was obviously exaggerated.

"I understand. I'll go to the market to check it out later. You and Su Chungui stay in the inn and have dinner when I come back."

Su Chunhua showed a eager look.

"Brother Chang Hao, I am familiar with the county town. Why don't I follow you to the market?"

Pei Changhao politely refused. Although Su Chunhua was Li Zheng's nephew and had been in the county town for some time and was familiar with the road, he was still simple and could not deal with complicated situations. If he followed him to the market, it might cause trouble.

The county town is not big, and the trading market in the south of the city was easily found. Pei Changhao touched the package behind him, drove the carriage, and headed towards the market.

There were a little more people in the market, but after noon, the peak of trading had passed, the flow of people was significantly reduced, and it didn't look very lively.

Pei Changhao's purpose in coming to the market was to sell the carriage for delivering goods, add some silver taels, and buy a carriage specially for riding. If possible, sell the Mongolian horses that Su Chunhua and Su Chungui rode, but keep the Hequ horses he rode.

The carriage for delivering goods is no longer used, either sold or exchanged.

All three of them rode horses along the way, which would definitely attract the attention of others. If you don’t show your wealth, it’s easy to avoid hidden arrows and it’s hard to prevent them. If you are targeted by others, you have to worry about dealing with it. It’s still good to be low-key.

Change to a carriage that you can ride in, Su Chunhua takes the carriage, and Su Chungui pretends to be a carriage driver, and Pei Changhao follows him on a horse. There are many carriages like this on the official road, and it will not attract the special attention of others.

Hiring a carriage is the worst strategy. Time is difficult to grasp. The three of them need to rush on their way at any time without revealing their whereabouts. It is much more convenient to own a carriage to ride in.

When he went to the market to trade, Pei Changhao was very cautious and just drove the carriage. Hequ horses and two Mongolian horses stayed in the inn. In the trading market where fish and dragons were mixed, he would never show his wealth and mighty appearance.

The carriage stopped at the door of the market, and a middle-aged man with a thin flesh on his face came over.

"Young Master, are you driving a carriage and planning to buy something at the market?"

Pei Changhao looked at the middle-aged man with a fat face.

"The carriage is no longer available, so I can use it for some money."

"This young man, the carriage is not easy to sell. If you can trust me, I will help you."

The middle-aged man patted his chest and smiled generously.

Pei Changhao was not sure or deny, looking at the middle-aged man with a fat face.

Seeing Pei Changhao not speaking, the middle-aged man showed a slightly anxious expression on his face.

"Young Master, you don't know that the carriages here are difficult to buy and sell, and they will not be sold for a while. I think you have difficulties and I sincerely help you. If you don't believe it, you can come and buy it early tomorrow morning. See what the situation is. If you believe me, I buy your carriage and you won't use it tomorrow."

Seeing the middle-aged man with a fat face talking very hard, Pei Changhao finally spoke.

"How much money are you willing to pay?"

Before Pei Changhao's words were finished, the middle-aged man spoke immediately.

"Young Master, I will give you thirty taels of silver. This is the highest price. If you don't believe it, come early tomorrow morning."

Pei Changhao was speechless. Thirty taels of silver were not enough to buy a horse. According to his understanding, a carriage costs at least fifty taels of silver. The middle-aged man with a fat face in front of him had a little too much appetite.

A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake.

Pei Changhao believed that even if he came to the market early tomorrow morning, the carriage would not be thought of selling at a high price. The middle-aged man in front of him would definitely have a way to contact or control the people in the market and lower the price of the carriage.

This is how the trading market is. Everyone wants to make money, especially those who rely on the trading market. They re-trade and make the difference in the middle, which is reasonable, so there is no need to cut off the life of these people.

However, it is definitely not possible to make a low price. Pei Changhao will not do business that is obviously at a loss.

"The price of thirty taels of silver is too low, I won't sell it."

Seeing Pei Changhao taking the carriage away, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly.

"If you really want to sell the carriage, this price can be negotiated."

Pei Changhao looked at the middle-aged man and stopped.

"I am planning to sell the carriage. The price is too low. My carriage is less than forty taels of silver, so I will definitely not sell it. Not only this carriage, but I also have two Mongolian horses, and I also want to sell it together. The price of each Mongolian horse is not less than forty taels of silver, a total of 120 taels of silver, which is less than this price."

The middle-aged man widened his eyes and his mouth opened. He would never have imagined that the elegant young man in front of him not only wanted to trade a carriage, but also sold two Mongolian horses.

Seeing that the middle-aged man had not spoken for the time being, Pei Changhao pretended to be disappointed and shook his head.

"Forget it, you can't afford it. I'll come to the market tomorrow morning."

The middle-aged man reacted and unconsciously reached out and grabbed Pei Changhao's arm.

"Young Master, don't worry, the price is easy to discuss. You have two Mongolian horses and one carriage, and you have to sell them. This is a big deal. Don't worry, I will definitely sell them for you. But you didn't talk about the transaction of Mongolian horses before. I didn't expect that you will come with me and sit in the house for a while. I will help you ask and reply to you immediately. You will definitely satisfy you."

The middle-aged man pulled Pei Changhao to the wooden house outside the market.

There were two people chatting in the wooden house. When they saw a middle-aged man with a fat face, they nodded.

"I'm here to visit the distinguished guest. Please help me greet me. I'll go to the market to ask."

The middle-aged man with a fat face blinked at the two of them, and they quickly stood up and looked at Pei Changhao, with a smile on his face.

Pei Changhao's feeling was not very good, but at this time, he could not retreat. If he didn't trade, it would be unlikely that the carriage and Mongolian horse would be disposed of in the county market. He could only take the road and become the targets coveted by everyone. As for buying a carriage specially used in the market, it would be even more impossible.

Since he came, he would be at ease. When the middle-aged man left the wooden house with a fat face, Pei Changhao felt at ease. He left Heluo Village and had to encounter many things. He would block the water and soil and deal with it calmly. The more storms he experienced now, the smoother the road will be in the future.

The same thing is said, you always look for trouble and don’t be afraid of trouble if you have something to do.

Pei Changhao sat on the chair, his eyes glancing at the two people in the room. There was nothing strange about these two people. One of them stood at the door and kept looking into the market, looking a little anxious. The other person was standing next to the window, looking at the direction of the market, occasionally looking back at Pei Changhao.

The two people in the wooden house were obviously two minions. They expected the middle-aged man with a fat face to come back immediately, and were afraid that Pei Changhao would drive the carriage to leave the market.

Pei Changhao tried to stand up and walked towards the door of the wooden house.

The person standing at the window came immediately, with his body blocking in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Young Master, don't worry, the boss will come over immediately and will definitely buy your carriage."

Pei Changhao pretended to show an impatient expression.

"How long has it been? The price is not high at all. I still have something to do. Could it be that I will wait until dark?"

The man standing at the door stood on tiptoe and looked up at the market.

"Young master, brother is here. Don't worry, I'll call brother faster, just wait."

Pei Changhao sighed and sat down reluctantly.

"Tell you boss to hurry up. If there was no way, I wouldn't have come to the market..."
