After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

The buying and selling of horses is not as casual as that of cattle and sheep, and requires going to a special horse market.

The horse market in Sishui County is located on the south side of the eastern section of East Street, not far from the city gate and inns, making it convenient for merchants to purchase and trade.

There are also horse market officials in the horse market who are responsible for transactions and ensure fair transactions.

In addition, the horse market will also collect "horse market points" as a reward fee.

The horse market at this time is very busy, with people coming to buy and sell horses, and even people coming just to see the horses.

"Dad, how do you tell if this horse is good?"

The horse market was full of horses, tall, strong, black, white... Bai Qingyun was dazzled by the sight.

Horses in Dazhao were very valuable, and most of the places where horses could be raised were located in the northwest, where the imperial court specialized in raising war horses.

Thanks to this, there are many merchants who specialize in raising horses here, and many noble families will send people here specifically to buy good breeds of horses.

This is why there is a horse market in a small county town.

If you go south, you can only buy horses in some provincial capitals, and the price will be much more expensive than here.

Bai Qingyun only knew that the horses here were famous, but if he really wanted to buy one, he would have to consult carefully.

"My dear, when choosing a horse, we first look at its appearance, then its physique... and finally..."

Father Bai spoke a lot hesitantly, and the children of the Bai family were fascinated by what they said. It was the first time for the children to hear about horses, and they found it very interesting.

"Hey, sir, are you here to buy a horse?"

When they reached the middle of the horse market, everyone visited the various horses. It was Bai's father's words that made the horse owners in the horse market stop the group.

Those who have been in the horse market for a long time and have seen all kinds of people can guess whether people are here to see the horses or to buy them just by taking a look at their attire.

Therefore, as the Bai family walked along, not many enthusiastic horse owners came to talk to them. At most, they just took a quick glance and then looked away.

The conversation between Bai Qingyun and Bai's father lasted for a while, but most people thought it was just a casual conversation, and only the horse owner was willing to step forward.

The Bai family had a good impression of this enthusiastic horse owner and immediately started a conversation with him.

Father Bai greeted the man and then said, "Big brother, sorry to bother you. We are here to buy horses!"

As soon as Mr. Bai finished speaking, several horse owners nearby saw a gleam in his eyes.

The horse market is a place that sells luxury goods. It is rarely open, but when it opens, the amount of money sold is not small, enough to feed the family for a year.

"What kind of horse do you want to buy?"

Bai Qingyun was puzzled: "What's the point of this?"

The horse owner smiled and explained, "If it's for carrying people or goods at home, then of course there's nothing wrong with it, but if it's for riding, it's best to choose a good breed!"

Ordinary people naturally buy horses to ride sometimes, but some horses are suitable for long-distance riding, while some horses, due to their breed, are only suitable for short-distance travel.

"You don't have many horses here!"

As soon as Bai Qinghai came in, he looked around, but he didn't dare to touch the horse. He just watched from afar with great curiosity.

Although there are many horses in the horse market, the horses here can be clearly counted with the naked eye.

There was only one black horse with some white on its forehead, and the other was a foal. According to the owner, the foal was eight months old, four feet five inches tall and weighed six hundred kilograms.

"Sir, you may not know that although my horses are few in number, they are precious. Although they are not as good as Dayuan horses, they are bred with Dayuan horses!"

Dayuan horse, that is, the Ferghana horse produced in Dayuan in the Western Regions, is also called the Ferghana horse!

A fully grown Arabian horse is worth a house, let alone a foal.

"So how much is your horse worth?"

Father Bai had heard of Dayuan horses, but this breed of horses is hard to find in the horse market.

Because of the characteristics of this type of horses, Dazhao used them as war horses for the army. The war horses were specially raised and trained and were sensitive to danger.

Even if this horse is just the result of mating a Dayuan horse with other horses, its excellent genes mean that the price of such a horse will not be low.

The horse owner smiled embarrassedly, then gestured to Bai's father. Everyone in the Bai family gasped when they saw it. This price was much higher than the budget.

Three hundred taels of silver is the price of an adult horse. A foal is even more expensive than this.

It is equivalent to three houses in Qujiang County.

As expected, those who can afford Dayuan horses are either rich or noble!

Father Bai was a little undecided. He looked at Bai Qingyun and wanted his daughter to make the decision.

Bai Qingyun just shook his head slightly, and his father already knew.

He saluted the horse owner and said, "Excuse me, we are just looking for an ordinary horse!"

Then he turned around and left with everyone from the Bai family.

When the horse owner saw that the Bai family was leaving, his originally happy mood suddenly sank to the bottom. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Bai's father and said, "Hey, don't go! If you really want it, I'll give you a discount. I'm the only one in the horse market who can buy such a good breed!"

Several nearby horse owners had been keeping an eye on the Bai family for a long time. When they saw someone coming out, they gathered around and pulled Father Bai eagerly: "Sir, come to my house and take a look. I have worked in this horse market for more than ten years, and I am very familiar with it!"

He first dragged Bai's family to the horse shop opposite his own, and said as he walked, "You are lucky you didn't buy the horse across the street. The hybrid horse across the street has been unsold for half a year! It is said to be bred from Dayuan horses, but it can only fool you who don't know anything about it!"

Bai Qingyun became interested after hearing this and asked quickly, "Why does the horse owner say that? I see that the black horse has a steady posture and its hair is very shiny!"

Judging from the posture and the hair, these are what this half-expert just learned from Mr. Bai. Now, when he uses them to talk to people, they are not inferior at all.

The horse owner is also a horse lover, and he talks endlessly about horses: "Miss, what you said is wrong. You must know that the stallion must be good. Only one good one is not enough."

After saying this, he was afraid that Bai Qingyun didn't understand, so he quickly explained, "Take us for example. If we have a good father and a good mother, our life will be smooth. If we are reborn into a family with a gambling father and a virtuous mother, even if we have a fortune of millions, it will not be enough to squander!"

In the case of horses, even though the horse was born from the mating of Dayuan horses, its father's origin may not be noble, and he may have inherited some of his father's shortcomings. The foal was born from a hybrid horse, so its bloodline is probably even less pure.

With such a price, it is really a rip-off.

It seems that when doing business, a good first impression does not necessarily mean sincerity!

No wonder the horse owner said that the horse on the other side has not been sold for many years. It turns out that he is just waiting for a sucker to come to him.

But it is hard to find such a sucker, as ordinary people cannot afford such precious horses. And those wealthy families are all shrewd people and are not so easily fooled.

Only farmers like the Bai family, who have no vision but some money, would become the target of the horse owner.
