When Fan Tianshun hurriedly called to see Ma Hanshan, the boy was still dreaming about Duke Zhou.
Besides, since he is a monster, how can he be seen as easily as an ordinary person?
Do you have anything? Then you can come and visit me.
The two government officials who came to Xiangfan Prefecture have worked with several magistrates. They have been working as government officials for more than ten years, calling people and passing on people countless times. But they have never seen anyone like Ma Hanshan. , the magistrate did not take it seriously when he was summoned.
They had emphasized to Shen Hua many times that they were sent by the magistrate to invite Master Ma, but Shen Hua only told them that the young master has not gotten up yet.
The two government officials waited for more than half an hour and still didn't see Master Ma get up, so they had to go back to the house to resume their duties.
"What...what did you say? He...he is so arrogant?" Fan Tianshun was furious. He had never seen such an arrogant person before. He was really too arrogant. This...this was contempt for the government...
"Haha, what did I say before they left? Now Fan Shuai knows what kind of monster he is, right?" Lu Wenkuan actually smiled heartily. He liked this kid Ma Hanshan, he has such a good character.
"Humph, I don't believe it...someone...go and tie up that kid..." Fan Tianshun was very angry. He felt that Ma Hanshan was too disrespectful.
"Wait a minute... Lord Commander, please be patient. It's easy for you to kidnap him. But with that kid's character, if you kidnap him, you'll never be able to buy anything from him. In the hands of that monster There are too many treasures, we can't just cut off the source like this." Gai Rencong comforted Fan Tianshun. For him, it was not a mistake for the people in Ma Hanshan not to wake him up. They are not your subordinates, nor are they. If you violate any laws, I have no obligation to wait for you.
"Yes, Fan Shuai, that boy dared to pierce two holes in Xuanling's legs just to see Mr. Gai. If we forcefully tie him up, I guarantee that not only will we not be able to buy what he has in his hands, but we may also Be our enemy. You know, everyone likes the things in his hands. What if he falls into the arms of those rotten factions?" Lu Wenkuan actually wanted to say, what if, this evildoer is chanting If you don't get respect, why go to Donghu? It's not just as simple as losing a talent.
"Yes...yes...you must not treat monsters in the same way as ordinary people." Gai Rancong nodded.
"Okay... Well, for the sake of the army and horses, let's send another person..." Fan Tianshun thought about it. He is not an ordinary person and cannot use ordinary methods.
"I think we should go to the door to beg for a meal. Believe it or not, if we go later, that guy must have prepared lunch and wait for us." Gai Rancong believed that Ma Hanshan had already determined that they would come to the door, because the army and horses It's his invitation letter.
"Brother Yingming, you let him go too much..." Fan Tianshun was a little unhappy. How could He De, a grassroots man from the mountains and plains, work for civil servants and generals like them to visit him?
"Brother Tianshun, the quotation he sent last night is just an invitation. If we don't come, there will be nothing. He just wants to see if we are sincere for Dasung. If we don't even have such a so-called face, If you can't let go, then...he will definitely not believe us, and will look down on us...Everyone, there are too many people in Dasong who talk high and high but have no backbone." Gai Rencong handed Fan Tianshun the quotation sent by Ma Hanshan. .
In fact, he had already understood what Ma Hanshan meant, but he was not sure and wanted to try this group of colleagues, so he sent someone to invite Ma Hanshan at Fan Tianshun's request.
Now, he was sure that Ma Hanshan meant to invite them to come to discuss matters.
…
Ma Hanshan indeed meant this, and he had already arranged for Qi Nanyue to go to the shopkeeper of Gaosheng Inn to prepare lunch. This lunch was all the dishes he ordered himself, and he also asked Qi Nanyue to bring a small half bottle of umami powder.
After the business was concluded, he would greet Gai Rancong and the others well. If Gai Rancong didn't understand what he meant, the business would not be concluded. He would enjoy the delicious lunch by himself, and then take a boat south to Ezhou for fun. Then he went east to Lin'an to find the backer he needed.
"Huahua, are there any guests arriving?" When it was almost time, the leader of Ma Dazhai finally got up.
"Come and leave again." Shen Hua said lazily.
"Ah? Who is here? Why are you leaving again?" Ma Hanshan was a little anxious.
"Is it possible that we still have bad guests? They are the government servants sent by Magistrate Gai to inform him. Magistrate Gai wants to see the head of the horse." Shen Hua was still lazy.
"Oh...he doesn't understand what I mean? It's really disappointing. I thought he was really different from other officials..." When Ma Hanshan was disappointed, Zhang San rushed in to report to Magistrate Gai and General Fan. Wait for someone to come.
"Haha, it's good to be here, it's good to be here. After all, Gai Rencong understands what I mean." Ma Hanshan was overjoyed and ordered, "Zhang San and Mr. Qi invite guests into the banquet hall, Huahua, help me fetch water to wash up... ….”
When Ma Hanshan went to the luxury box of Gaosheng Inn in front of him after washing up, Gai Rancong and others were already drinking tea.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to staying in bed, getting up late, getting up late, I'm really rude, I'm so rude, my lords, general, please forgive me." Ma Han, with his usual "apologizing" attitude, shouted before anyone arrived. opened.
"The leader of the horse is young, young people understand deeply, understand, understand." Gai Rencong stood up and said.
"Haha, thank you Mr. Gai for understanding. Yes, young people are sleepy and don't sleep as lightly as the elderly... Hey, Mr. Gai, your eyes... Did you stay up all night last night? You turned into a panda?" Ma Hanshan pointed. Gai Rencong's eyes said.
But he was feeling proud in his heart, haha, this old guy must have been so excited by the words "military horses" on the quotation that he couldn't sleep for a whole night. Alas, it was really hard for them, the great Song Dynasty actually had no horses...
"What does panda mean?" Gai Rencong knew that the dark circles under his eyes were ugly, so he wanted to divert his attention.
"Panda... is a cat... haha, sir, don't worry about these details." Ma Hanshan took the teapot and poured tea for everyone and said, "My lords and generals, Ma is snoozing and neglecting you, I... I pour tea and apologize. "
Ma Hanshan's attitude was very sincere. If you didn't know better, you would think that he was really apologizing and that he had neglected them because of his snooze.
But now they all know that this kid is acting on purpose.
But what can I do? Now I have to ask him for help.
"Understood...understood...Master Ma, let me introduce our commander to you..." Lu Wenkuan stood up and introduced Ma Hanshan to Fan Tianshun and several other generals who came with him.
Of course he had heard of Fan Tianshun's famous name, Ma Hanshan. To his surprise, he did not expect that Fan Tianshun was also a civil servant.
"Hello, Marshal Fan...Hello, General Zhao..." Ma Hanshan shook hands with them one by one. He didn't care even if Fan Tianshun and the others were confused, he was determined to force his handshake.
"My lords and generals... To express my apology..." Ma Hanshan originally wanted to say that to express his apology, he would give each of them a small gift, but he was interrupted by the impatient Fan Tianshun.
Fan Tianshun raised the quotation in his hand and said: "Master Ma, please wait for the rest of the gossip. I just want to know if you can really get military horses?"
"Fan Shuai, although I'm a sleepy boy, I never tell lies." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Okay, very good." After receiving the confirmation, Fan Tianshun was really happy. He grinned and continued, "But is the horse price too harsh? The Xixia horse actually costs one hundred and twenty taels?"
"Yes, Xixia horses are one hundred and twenty taels, Northern Mongolia is also the same, Xiyili horses are ten taels more, and Dawan horses are 300 taels." Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "It sounds like it is indeed very expensive, compared to Southwest China.
The price of a pony is simply sky-high. But, my lords and generals, I will give you two hundred taels now, can you buy it? I said that the Dasong Dynasty is dominated by a bunch of rubbish and a bunch of rubbish.
The country has no intention of making progress at all and has no will to regain its territory. They just want to spend every day drinking and reciting poems and having fun... Oh, it is really infuriating... I'm sorry, my lords and generals, I'm not scolding you..."
He is really not afraid of death. This boy is really not afraid of death. He scolds the emperor and the court every day...
However, although Gai Rencong and the others were dissatisfied, they did not dare to do anything. What could they do? Capture him and send him to Beijing? Or behead him? But can he be changed by beheading him? This is the reality.
Ma Hanshan glanced at Gai Rencong and the others, waved his hands angrily and said: "Forget it, just think of it as me doing a little more for Da Song, and reduce it by ten taels for each horse. No matter how low it is, there is no other way. After all, it's just a few countries."
If you catch prohibited items, you will be beheaded."
"Is the Xixia horse a Baizhang horse?" Lu Wenkuan had already experienced Ma Hanshan's big mouth yesterday, so he was too lazy to worry about a few more complaints. Buying a horse was the main business.
"Mostly, General Lu should know that not all Hequ horses have white badges." Ma Hanshan paused and said, "Similarly, Northern Mongolian horses may not be completely Mongolian horses. Maybe, if you are lucky, they will
Will buy some Ogus horses.”
"Can we choose?" Fan Tianshun said.
"My people have already selected them for you, and I guarantee that they are all high-quality military horses. They will never give you short-footed horses, nor will they give you old and sick horses." Ma Hanshan looked at Fan Tianshun and said, "Fan Shuai, it's been a long time."
You will know that although I am a sleepy and scolding kid, I am absolutely trustworthy when doing business. I will give you whatever you pay for. We negotiate the price openly and honestly, do business fairly and reasonably, and do not bully others.
.”
"What about...the quantity?" Fan Tianshun said, it would be really pointless if we could only supply a hundred or dozens of horses.
"Shuai Fan, tell me a number, and I will find a way to help you organize it. After all, military horses are not ordinary commodities nowadays." Ma Hanshan scratched his head and said.
He really didn't dare to say how much he could supply. That bastard Yelucai hadn't even delivered a single horse since last year.
"At least we need to buy horses for seven cavalry battalions." Fan Tianshun thought for a while and said, there are seven armies on the southwestern road of Beijing, and one army builds a cavalry battalion. This is really a generous move by Marshal Fan.
"Haha, Fan Shuai has such a big appetite. Does the Commander-in-Chief of Jinghu City have so much money? The horses of the Seventh Battalion of Cavalry cost thousands of horses, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Wouldn't it be better to give those rubbish in the court to Hu Gou and the others?
It hurts, but if you use it to buy horses, they will definitely talk nonsense." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
