Chapter 9 Small people make great achievements, ordinary life is also a hero
They have worked much harder today than Xiaoliu and others. Almost all the towns around Zuojiazhuang, Shibalipu, Heifengling, and Baishiqiao have to run over.
It is naturally impossible to walk such a long way, so everyone must first rent a horse from Manager Hao in Feilong Valley.
In ancient times, horses were always going to the horse market, but everyone did not intend to buy horses. After all, the cheapest horse costs more than thirty taels of silver, which is the salary of Lao Bai and his team over ten years.
They run inns, not escort agencies, so they only run this time when they buy horses and have to keep them in the future, so they are far less cost-effective than renting them.
And since you want to rent, it is definitely the best thing to find an acquaintance.
And this shopkeeper Hao from Feilong Valley is an absolute old acquaintance. He appears many times in the play, whether it is inviting wild game or the one who is bitten to death by 123 West Bubai.
This shopkeeper Hao is actually a businessman specializing in animal breeding.
In ancient times, in animal breeding, the most profitable one was cattle and horses. After all, one was agricultural demand and the other was military demand. It can be said that there was no need to worry about buyers.
And the shopkeeper Hao of Feilong Valley is the largest horse merchant in the Qixia Town, and the so-called Feilong Valley is actually the place where he raises horses.
As for dogs, monkeys, etc., they are actually just his side job.
Xiao Liu followed Lao Xing and listened to Lao Xing's introduction while walking.
After the two left the inn, they did not go straight to the county government. After all, the genius has just begun, let alone the county magistrate Lou. Even the shops on the street have not opened their doors to do business.
Only shops like Zhanggui Tong, which have breakfast business, opened the door early.
Since Magistrate Lou has not woken up yet, Old Xing cannot disturb him now.
So he took Xiao Liu to stroll around the street first, both patrolling the streets and also to guide Xiao Liu to get familiar with the terrain of the Seven Heroes Town.
After all, it was too late when they arrived in the town yesterday, so they went directly to Tong Zhanggui’s Tongfu Inn, and they didn’t have time to take Xiaoliu to visit the Seven Heroes Town.
While taking Xiaoliu to get to know the environment, Lao Xing also did not forget to introduce Xiaoliu to the people and things in the town.
Qixia Town is just a small town with a small population. Because of its small population, there are fewer merchants here, and most of them are in a monopoly state.
The so-called monopoly here does not mean that a company is so big that it can monopolize the entire market, but that the market here is only enough to support this company.
For example, the shopkeeper Hao from Feilong Valley mentioned just now, the shopkeeper Qian from the only pawn shop and money shop in the town, the shopkeeper Liu from the Rouge Shop on West Street, and even the shopkeeper Tong from Tongfu Inn is like this.
But Zhanggui Tong was not there soon, because there was a Yihong Building opposite Tongfu Inn to open soon.
And then the two companies will definitely fall one, because the market in the entire Qixia Town is so big.
Of course, that's all a story.
Lao Xing took Xiao Liu all the way from the West Street to the East City, and then from the West Street to the North Bridge. Finally, the two of them walked all the way to Nanting.
Sitting in the stone pavilion of the South Pavilion, the master and the apprentice finally had a rest.
