Wu Song said: "We merchants naturally have to abide by the laws and regulations, and the court must listen to what they say."

Wu Song turned his head and asked Mao Hai to go to Wu Zhuang to get a machete. Mao Hai came back soon. The standard machete of this Tongda Big Car Store is only one and a half feet long, which is completely in line with the size of the weapons used by the escort agency stipulated in the Song Dynasty's laws. Among them, the blade is one foot long, the hilt is half foot long, the straight knife with a diagonal square head is hard, the blade is sharp, the back is thick, and it weighs three pounds. It can be used as a daily knife, chopping firewood, repairing trees, killing prey, etc. It is used as a hand and foot on the hilt, and there is a plug on the tail. You can use the plug to install a wooden pole and turn it into a big knife in seconds.

Wu Song took a few copper coins and put them on the table, cut them off one by one, and then looked at the edge of the blade without any damage.

"A good knife, a good knife. But the price should be not low." Mr. Li exclaimed.

Wu Song said: "To be honest, the retail market price of this kind of steel knife is more than ten cents of money, and others also need three cents of money to purchase in large quantities. However, Li Yuanwai is a friend of the owner of Hu, so he only needs two cents of money, and a knife is only a profit of hundreds of cents of money."

Mr. Li handed the knife to Du Xing, the butler beside him. Du Xing tried it with the knife in his hand, nodded to Mr. Li. Mr. Li said to Wu Song: "I have no objection to the price, but the quality must be as good as this sample."

"This is certainly the business that is done." Wu Song said.

Mr. Li was so happy. He took two hundred taels of silver from Du Xing and handed it to Wu Song, saying, "I want five hundred reed leaves spear heads and one hundred diagonal machetes. This is the deposit."

"No problem, I guarantee delivery before the New Year." Wu Song said that Zhang Blacksmith now has more than a dozen skilled blacksmiths, and there are as many as fifty or sixty other strong men. The reed leaf gun is not enough, mainly one hundred square-headed machetes.

The transaction was settled so smoothly, and Wu Song said again: "I heard that there are many good horses on Mr. Li's house. Wu Song had a reluctant invitation. Want to see how the horses are?"

Mr. Li said: "What's the matter? I just sell horses. Just watch it. In this way, I will ask Butler Du to take you to visit my horse farm. I have some things to talk about with the owner of Hu."

Wu Song said: "Okay, I'll go and check it out with Butler Du."

Wu Song took Luo Ping, Li Kui, Mao Hai, and a group of four on horseback and followed Du Xing to Lijiazhuang horse farm. The horses needed a lot of exercise to stay healthy. The Lijia horse farm was on a large beach in the south of the village. The beach could not grow crops. It only grew some knee-high wormwood. Dozens of horses had long mane and fluttered in the wind when they ran.

Du Xing introduced: "These are Yanyun horses, produced in the Yanyun land of Liao Kingdom. They are powerful, tall, resistant to rough feeding, and are very suitable for riding. Of course, the price is also expensive, the market price is 60 to 70 guan per horse. If Boss Wu wants it, I will give you a discount price, 50 guan per horse."

"Okay, give me five." Wu Song was not on a whim, he had prepared for it. At that time, there were only thirteen good horses sent by Hujiazhuang, Luo Ping, Li Kui, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Shi Tiehan who had no horses yet.

Li Kui held Wu Song's hand: "Brother said there is me a horse, but it's true?"

Li Kui was so happy that this was a great joy. The young horses of the Song Dynasty were young. Where can ordinary people have horses to ride? The standard for successful people is to ride a horse.

"Of course it's true. You have performed well recently. How could you lose your horse?" Wu Song said.

Du Xing immediately selected five good horses, all of which were trained and could be ridden with horse harnesses. Wu Song's eyes were bright, and suddenly found a group of short Mongolian horses, and asked immediately: "Are those horses grassland horses?"

Du Xing said: "Boss Wu is very knowledgeable. These dozens of horses are from the grasslands in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom. The horse's hooves are hard and there is no need to be nailed to the horseshoe. Unfortunately, the horse is short and only a size larger than a donkey, so the price is not enough. But in fact, the horse's endurance is stronger than that of Yanyun Horse. For light cavalry, it is still the Mongolian horse, not to mention that this horse eats less, is resistant to rough feed, and has a stronger resistance to disease. Other horses go to the horse shed at night, and they are all frozen outside and have a strong body."

Du Xing ordered someone to bring a horse, and Wu Song looked carefully. It was indeed the case. The iron-hoofed horse produced from the Mongolian grassland. Genghis Khan Temujin made his fortune by making his iron-hoofed horse. This horse has extremely strong endurance. It is no problem to run a light infantry with a weight for two hours. It can be seen that its strength is obvious. But it is the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom is still there, and the Jin Kingdom has just emerged. The tribes on the grassland are still subordinates of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, this iron-hoofed horse is not famous yet. The iron-hoofed horse is a type of Mongolian horse.

Wu Song pressed the horse's back with his hand. Although the horse was short, it had a firm back and strong strength. He ran around the horse and felt that it was not that bad. In fact, the iron-hoofed horse was more than ten centimeters shorter than the Yanyun horse.

Wu Song said: "Butler Du, how do you sell this iron hoofed horse?"

Du Xing said: "Adult mares are twenty-stop, and they need to grow stallions for thirty-stop. Pony is generally seven or eight-stop per horse. But I am ugly saying that the horse looks bad and is not popular in the horse market."

"It's because I don't know the appearance, but I don't care. I bought it for crossing with male donkeys and raising iron-hoofed mules." Wu Song said.

Du Xing was speechless. He wanted to cross the horse with donkeys to cultivate mules. But it was understandable if he thought about it. He was doing a big cart business. Mules were stronger than horses, more resistant to rough feed, and more obedient. Naturally, it was a better choice than horses.

There were more than twenty iron-hoofed horses in total, which required four hundred stagnants. Wu Song didn't have that much money on hand, so he agreed with Du Xing to come and pick up the horses when he came to deliver the iron goods. Both sides were very happy. Wu Song sold the iron goods and the Li family sold the horses.

Hu Cheng's seasoning business is really strong. Forty trucks of goods are all peppers, peppers, and old ginger slices. Forty trucks are valuable. The goods are transported to the dock in Jeju Prefecture, and the cargo owners are there to pick up the goods. The Hu family sent a shopkeeper over there. After the other party inspected the goods, Wu Song had to escort the silver back to complete the task. Hu Cheng paid 500 taels of silver. The price was not high, mainly because Wu Song could not be high. Tongda Big Cars Store had just been established, and Hu Cheng handed over the business entirely because of saving Hu Sanniang's life.

The loading was completed at around 3 pm. Hu Cheng insisted that Wu Song rest for a night before leaving. Wu Song said that it was still forty miles to reach Yanggu County, so why not go to Yanggu to rest. Wu Song could not delay immediately. Everyone got on the horse and walked on foot. As for the shopkeeper and clerk of the Hu family, they made their own carriages. The two horses were pulled, and they were full of strength.

"Set off." As Wu Zhuang ordered the convoy to set off in a mighty manner, the flags that were connected to the front car were flying in the wind. The winter was short and cold. When we arrived at Yanggu County, we had already used lights at the gate. The two infantry guarding the gate saw Wu Song coming and said, "The one with a long sword, stay."
