Chapter seven hundred and seventy-six official purchase of cattle and horses

"Wow~~Get down from the place." A horse-drawn sled from Xianyang County to Chang'an stopped.

The driver jumped out of the car first and urged the four passengers on the car to get off so that he could unload the sled and make the horse easier.

The horse was rented from Lijiazhuangzi. The tenant cherished it very much. When he was rushing, he always let the horse run at a constant speed and never urged him.

It turns out that the place where free soup is given by the river is widened, and five sheds are combined into one shed.

There is still free soup for people and horses to rest.

Xianyang County is fifty miles away from Chang'an. The horse and five people ran for more than an hour, resting in a shed for a quarter of an hour.

Four people got off the sled, and one of them took out a four-cent exchange coupon to the coachman.

This is their car money. Renting a boat in summer is cheap. You can take six to eight people from Xianyang to Chang'an, and the cost is four to five cents.

Come here in winter, and one person takes a sled and costs four cents.

I didn't want to spend this money, so I walked more than fifty miles on the snow.

"If you like something, hurry up and buy it. You have to rush back before dark at night." The four middle-aged and older people said to others.

"I know Uncle Eleven, the things in Chang'an City are cheaper. After traveling, the things we buy are less than those in Xianyang."

Someone told me the purpose of this trip and shop.

I celebrate the New Year today, I buy it once, and I won’t come out after I get home.

Things in Chang'an City are cheaper, and the same goods are comparable to Xianyang.

There are still goods that are not available in Xianyang in Chang'an City, and the prices are as high as the sky.

The price of vegetables produced in Chang'an is more expensive than that of twenty counties in Jingzhao Prefecture, and people in the county do not buy them.

The driver watched the four people leave, took off the feces behind the horse's butt, took off the sled, and led the horse to have a meal.

There is a place to stop horses nearby. Some people provide food and grass for horses in the past, and those who drive the cart purchased the forage according to the packaging, a small bale.

Purchase the essence according to the pounds and add it to the horse.

There is a guillotine next to it. If you are willing to cut the forage for your horse, you can do it yourself.

Water is free, and the water is provided by the court, just like the supply points on the road.

"Eat, eat, eat, go back after eating, they brought the goods and charged more money. They ran back and forth for another one and a half today, and rested and added food to you tonight."

The driver told his horse that his face was full of smiles with a little bit of grin.

Coming from Xianyang, four people paid 16 yuan. When they returned, they found the goods and negotiated the price according to how much the goods were.

If you have too many words, you must keep going and you cannot be tired.

The rent is now ten yuan a day, and the food depends on what the tenant gives.

Feeding essential ingredients costs more money, which costs more than ten yuan a day, while feeding ordinary hay is cheaper.

There is a problem. If you don’t feed the horses with essential ingredients, you will have no strength. You will die of malnutrition. Don’t expect to rent things from the farm in the future.

The neighbors around him would even point fingers at him, saying that he had harmed the livestock of Lijiazhuangzi in the Bashui River.

The coachman planned to go back and earned the rent and forage money back, and then ran back and forth to make his own income.

I earn nearly forty money in a day, but in a winter, it’s not a lot.

Next to it, a ox-pulled snow sled came, carrying nine people on it.

The cow stopped, and everyone came down one after another, carried the goods they brought, and wanted to sell them to the West Market.

The driver took out a broom to clean the snow for the cow's hooves and legs. The cow could pull the cart, but the speed was slow.

The ox cart obviously came out earlier, then took a little longer, went back in the afternoon, and made almost the same money as the time.

...

"Owner, I bought three cows and two horses today. I am old and I cannot use them to do a lot of work. I can't afford to feed them. I asked Zhuangzi, if Zhuangzi doesn't buy them, they will report to kill them if they don't buy them.

.”

Song De found Li Yi who was watching the big-breasted parrot and reported the situation.

"Booked for the meat money?" Li Yi used long tweezers to pick up a pine nut and sent it to the cage.

"Hello, my boss." The parrot connected the two words he learned.

Sometimes I say, 'Hello, welcome, it's too cold, my boss.'

"Yes, it depends on the meat money." Song De responded.

"Maintain it for a few days, and then get a cart." Li Yi didn't want to kill him and eat meat.

He knew that Song De was not buying the kind of livestock that could not be done at all, but a family raised a cow. When they were old, they hoped that it would not be done as much as before.

There is a way to put two cows together to pull a cart, or even three cows and four cows.

They can do it by working together. In theory, two such cows and horses do more work than one normal cow and horse.

Now working, you can earn some money, and you can eat it yourself, and there is still some leftovers.

Then he kept it, until one day when the four cows could not do the work of a normal cow, he fed them with the extra money they earned.

By that time, they will not be far from natural death and will not live for a few years, otherwise they will be able to work and have a high efficiency.

When you die of old age, check it out, eat meat and peel it.

That is, use the labor of cattle and horses to exchange for their later years a chance of natural death.

You still have to eat after death. As long as there is no disease, no matter how important the cattle and horse are, no one is important.

"The head of the east is benevolent and righteous." Song De always thought that Li Yi was benevolent and righteous, kind.

Li Yi no longer explained, others did not believe it.

He wants to make the best use of labor and work together with more livestock, just like an engine that is not easy to repair.

If you can do it, you can do it, and the value generated cannot be calculated directly based on the value of the money at that time.

If a bull can live for another five years, he will work for four years, and he will wait for his last year to die slowly.

We need to consider the issue of currency depreciation. The money people earned in the first year of the four years was greater than that of the last year, so the farmer made money.

There is another issue involving job positions. One thousand acres of land is plowed with old cattle and horses. The feed is basically the same as the work done, which does not mean there is no profit.

If you don’t need cattle and horses to plow, it will consume more and you can’t even attract people. One thousand acres of land will be abandoned.

Value is reflected in the maximum utilization of resources, and old livestock supplements the location.

"The master of the host is kind and righteous." The big crimson parrot, slowly fed by Li Yi, suddenly imitated what Song De said.

"Okay, you are smart, I'll give you two more." Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and continued to pick up the pine nut and hand it in.

"The master of the host is kind and righteous!" the parrot shouted again.

"This is the power of capital. Even if it is a waste collector, it can make a fortune even if it reaches a certain scale.

When the cattle and horses die, the processing of meat, leather and tendons can make money at the scale of the farm.

Yes, bones are used to make free soup, giving livestock a chance to die naturally, and people get a lot of it.”

Li Yi explained to the parrot, idle, slander, wanting to eat beef sauce, why haven’t there been any dead beef in the past two days?

...

At noon, heaven and earth.

Song Jing invited a group of people to have dinner, and he had important matters to discuss.

Everyone from the First Inspection Team of the Tang Dynasty came. It was probably because he felt that the power in the court was not enough and he had to find more people.

"You have seen the carrying capacity of sleds in the snow in winter. Compared to last year, I can't imagine that this year's water network works, because it is easy to drive on land because it is heavy snow."

Song Jing pointed out the crowd outside. There were no sleds in the city, but there were many people on the street.

Everyone looked at him and waited.
