Chapter 305: How much do you say?

Linghu City, Yang Family Courtyard

This was also the first time Chu Qianqiu came to visit.

The Yang family's house is very ordinary. It is neither tall nor sturdy. To put it bluntly, it is not much better than the luxury houses of ordinary thousands of families.

Of course it is understandable that not all officers are rich.

On the contrary, officers like Chu Qianqiu and Huang Qianhu were in the minority.

Most officers have a large family and don't have much ability to build bunker-type mansions and raise a bunch of servants to work.

Normally, the family members are working. For example, when I saw Yang Guang, the guard at the door, a young man with a small amount of energy, he shouted excitedly:

"Brother, you are here. What delicious food can you bring today?"

"Be serious, didn't you see Mr. Chu coming?"

"See Mr. Chu!"

The guard quickly performed a military salute and looked at Chu Qianqiu with admiring eyes.

"What do you call this little brother?"

"Sir, he is my cousin, Yang Xu." Yang Guang said quickly, then thought of something, and explained using the secret technique of sound transmission:

"He is almost 20 today, and he has just reached the stage of accumulating energy."

"The third uncle was afraid that he would have no future, so he asked my father to arrange a job for him first."

"My father arranged for him to be a guard and trained him to a high standard."

"He has made some progress recently, and he will be able to become a master in a few years."

The Yang family is not the Chu family. The Huang family is a thin family. In Yang Wanhu's generation, there are six brothers and a lot of cousins, not to mention Yang Wanhu's own family, so the Yang family makes more.

The cost is even greater.

The janitor is also a member of the family, so he can get a salary, so Yang Wanhu has good intentions.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianqiu took out a bottle of [Qi-Building Pill] from his arms, which is the basic pill of Yuanyang Sect. It can speed up cultivation. He handed it to Yang Xu, worth 5 taels of silver. For Chu Qianqiu,

A small gift for someone.

"Brother Yang, thank you for your hard work. A small courtesy is not a sign of respect."

"Brother, this is not good." Yang Xu showed a wishful expression. Being a doorman has some benefits. A seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door and guarding the door under Wanhu will naturally get a lot of benefits.

I can usually charge a little more for tea, etc., and my life is much more prosperous than before.

"Just accept the reward from my lord," Yang Guang said cheerfully.

"Thank you sir, but the weapons have to be kept in the warehouse and cannot be brought into the hospital." Yang Xu was very happy. The guards were all discerning and naturally knew the price of the Qi-Building Pill. One pill cost 1 tael of silver, and there were a total of 5 taels in it.

It is equivalent to picking up 5 taels of silver for nothing. Who can be unhappy?

It was just his duty to remind Chu Qianqiu that he needed to leave the weapons behind.

"It's natural."

Visiting guests in the world of martial arts are much stricter than in previous lives. Whether a warrior has a spiritual weapon or not makes a huge difference.

Unless you have a particularly good relationship, you must put down your weapons when visiting your host's home to show your sincerity.

Chu Qianqiu put down the moon-holding knife readily and was led to the living room by the doorman. Yang Wanhu had already come to greet him.

"Master Chu's visit has brought great joy to the Yang family."

Yang Wanhu opened his hands and laughed heartily.

Yang Wanhu's appearance is very good, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very heroic.

Anyone looking at him would think he was an upright officer.

"Uncle Yang, how can this be done?" Chu Qianqiu said politely. After all, he is his elder. Even if he comes to investigate, he must be polite, not to mention that he has not yet broken up.

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

"It should, it should."

"Guang'er, you still need some experience in doing things. You can't embarrass the Yang family, do you understand?"

"Yes, daddy!" Yang Guang's awe for his father seemed to penetrate deep into his bones, and he quickly stood at attention and saluted.

"I heard that you have been going to Yihongyuan with your colleagues these past few nights?"

"Then who will be responsible for Mr. Chu's safety?"

Yang Wanhu sharply criticized his eldest son.

"Uncle Yang, that was after get off work, so it doesn't matter." Chu Qianqiu saw that Yang Guang was almost crawling into the cracks in the ground, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Lord Chu, you don't know something. This kid has a lot of problems. If he is not disciplined strictly, he might fly into the sky."

This father beat his son, so Chu Qianqiu had no choice but to take a neutral stance, looked at Yang Wanhu and cursed:

"It's right to have a good relationship with your colleagues, but don't indulge in women, which will delay your practice and Master Chu's business!"

"That Mo Nianyao, you are not allowed to look for her again in the future, do you understand?"

"Yes, daddy!" Yang Guang did not dare to refute and quickly agreed.

"That's pretty much it."

Yang Wanhu nodded with satisfaction, then knocked his head and said apologetically:

"You don't know how to teach your son, which makes Master Chu laugh."

"Master Chu, please sit down."

"Why don't you order some tea quickly?"

At this time, the maids of the Yang family came out one after another to serve Chu Qianqiu with tea.

"Uncle Yang is so polite. They are all family members."

"I came here today to talk about some trivial matters in the Li camp, uncle."

Chu Qianqiu raised the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He no longer had much appetite.

This tea must not cost more than 5 taels of silver.

For an ordinary middle-class family, this kind of tea is of high quality, but for a family of ten thousand households, it seems a bit shabby.

This shows that the Yang family's financial situation is somewhat difficult.

It is wrong to say that the Yang family has no money. The spiritual weapons, elixirs, etc. used by Yang Guang are all of the highest quality. In total, they need more than 100,000 taels of silver.

But they don't have any spare money to enjoy life, so they invest more in martial arts.

"Bad hospitality, poor hospitality."

"Who asked you to use these teas? Exchange them for my [Chengtian Snow Dragon]." Yang Wanhu's face darkened. He was also a battle-hardened man.

I just forgot my usual money-saving tips today.

These tea leaves are meant to entertain ordinary guests, and only real distinguished guests will use the tea leaves well.

"Tea and everything else are trivial matters."

"My nephew just arrived at the Li camp and didn't understand anything. He found that there were too few horses in the Li camp, so he wanted to come to my uncle to buy some horses."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the Yang family is prosperous, they still raise horses for the army.

It's just that the deal has become bigger.

There are two types of horses for the army. One is quota. The Yang family needs to provide the army's requirements every year, and the army purchases them at standard prices. The other is excess. For example, the part that the Yang family exceeds the army's requirements can be used as a balance output.

The army will increase the purchase price.

The Shenwei Army gave up these benefits, naturally hoping that the Yang family could raise more powerful war horses to offset Daxia's military advantage.

The flexible handling of the excess amount is an important source of wealth for the Yang family.

"My good nephew wants to buy a horse, okay." Yang Wanhu's eyes lit up, and his heroic face with the Chinese character "Guo" suddenly shone brightly, and he began to make calculations like a businessman.

"A good horse is worth 5 taels of silver, a war horse that has just learned to accumulate qi is worth 500 taels, a war horse with a small amount of qi is worth 5,000 taels of silver, and a war horse with a good amount of qi is not for sale."

"So expensive?" Chu Qianqiu said in surprise.

Due to the prosperity of martial arts, the value of ordinary horses has dropped a lot.

Mainly communication, running, etc. are all handled by manpower, which is cheaper.

People have taken away the horse business. Ordinary horses are not that expensive and are even widely used among the people.

But Daxia's cavalry is extraordinary. Their horses all store energy, and some can even trample and charge with their true energy, which is very scary.

"Good nephew, don't be too expensive. There is a price but no market." Yang Wanhu's eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"If my brothers in the army transfer it, I can give it half."

"Uncle will give you a 30% discount."

"As for the war horses that have a small amount of energy, let's get a thousand of them first." Chu Qianqiu said lightly. Although his purpose was not to buy horses, he could just get them casually.

"How many did you say?"

Now Huanyang Wanhu was stunned.
