Chapter 592: Save, get

"That's all?" After leaving the horse house, he sat in the pavilion where Gongsun Helan was. Wang Zhihong frowned lightly, and his disbelief showed his face. He looked up at Li Jihe in front of him and said, "There are only five hundred strong horses, but there are thousands of old and weak. With these things alone, why does the 'Yantian Ranch' provide enough horse source for our Tang Dynasty cavalry?"

"The imperial envoy understands horses, and he should also know the rare things about this Yili horse. It is a limit to obtain more than a thousand horses in half a year." Sitting on Wang Zhihong's lower head bent, he carried the pot and filled the tea bowls for Wang Zhihong and Gongsun Helan. Li Jihe then opened his voice to complain: "Those alone have used up most of the villain's wealth. If you want to bring back enough Yili horses, you don't know how much money you need. The villain is now very troubled about this matter and raises money everywhere, but there are still many things that are missing..."

"I am a rare horse, and I know it too," Wang Zhihong pursed his lips slightly beside the bowl. Wang Zhihong interrupted Li Jihe's words and deafened his words. He said in a deaf ear to the court, "But since the contract has been signed, the owner of Ji still needs to find a way to fulfill his original promise as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Li family understands this matter, but the law of my Tang Dynasty and the army that is waiting to use horses in the Tang Dynasty are ruthless."

With a soft and hard threat, Wang Zhihong narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jihe, saying, "Also, such a large area of ​​'Yantian Ranch', with plenty of water and grass, it can be said to be a good place, is there only these more than a thousand horses?"

"Mr. Wang was joking," he despised Wang Zhihong very much in his heart. Li Ji and Xiao smiled and said, "If there were only more than a thousand horses in the ranch, wouldn't the villain starve to death on the roadside long ago?"

Turning his head and looking at Wang An standing beside Gongsun Helan, Li Jihe raised his hand and pointed lightly, saying, "This is my Malaysian master in Yantian Ranch. He usually takes care of all the daily affairs in the pasture. Lord Wang can ask him about the situation in the pasture."

"Little man Wang An, please see the imperial envoy!" Wang An slapped his sleeves slightly, bowed and stood up from the side, bent respectfully to bow to Wang Zhihong, his expression as usual, and was not scared by the title of the imperial envoy. After all, when he was in the Sanyuan Liu Mansion, even nobles like the prince, princess, princess, princess, princess, and princess, and princess, and now when he looked at the imperial envoy, he would no longer feel that kind of fear and fear.

"Well," nodded slightly, Wang Zhihong's eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang An's not very tall body. He didn't expect that a little Ma Master would have such a calm and steady state, calm and unhurried, and even better than their owners. It was rare.

"In this pasture, except for the more than a thousand Yili horses, what are the other horse breeds? How many are there?" Asked the question, Wang Zhihong gently put down the tea bowl, looked up at Wang An seriously, and asked slowly.

"Reply to the words of the imperial envoy," Wang An bowed and replied, "In addition to the Yili horse mentioned by the generals, there are also yellow fat, green ears and other hybrid horses in the ranch, totaling more than 10,000. They are now all placed in the horse shed in the village. If the imperial envoy is happy, the villain can take the adults to take a look."

"Oh? It's okay to go and have a look. Our mansion also wants to go around, take a look," Wang Zhihong did not delay. Taking Wang An's words, he stood up and responded, and Wang An took him to the village to look for him.

"Uncle Wang, the smell is so stinking in the horse shed, especially now, it is the time for horse breeding and mingling, so don't go," Gongsun Helan pretended to be his young master of Gongsun Mansion, raised her head, and whispered to Wang Zhihong.

"If my nephew doesn't want to go, just wait here for uncle," Wang Zhihong said with a smile on his face, and patted Wang An's small shoulder beside him with his backhand, and said, "The master Ji doesn't have to follow him anymore. Since this little brother is a Malaysian master in the ranch, he knows the situation of the ranch. It's enough to have this little brother lead the way for our mansion."

"Uh?" Li Jihe was stunned and hurriedly bowed to Wang Zhihong and said, "The imperial envoy came to the ranch to inspect. The villain was added as the owner but was not next to the adult. There would inevitably be rudeness. The villain would take the adult with him..."

"The Master Ji was too worried," he waved his hand to interrupt Li Jihe's words. Wang Zhihong said: "I am just walking around casually. It's the same for anyone to take. There is no ritual or rudeness. The Master Ji and Helan are waiting for a moment. Let's go and go back."

After saying that, without waiting for Gongsun Helan and Li Jihe to react, Wang Zhihong pulled Wang An and walked out of the pavilion. On the top of his head, he walked towards the other larger horse sheds in the maid village.

"This old man Wang likes to be smart," When Wang Zhihong and the others left, Gongsun Helan sat back on the original seat, drank the herbal tea in his tea bowl, and said, "Does he think that Anton Wang is a good person to deal with?"

He is loyal and honest on the outside, but he is smarter than anyone else in his heart. If Wang Zhihong wants to say something from his mouth, it will be a little harder than if he wants to get the real message from Li Jihe.

"Young Master Helan said," Li Jihe sat sideways, took a sip of tea, and said, "After all, the servants who came out of Mr. Liu's mansion can't be fooled by everyone. Lord Wang is afraid that his intelligence will be misled by intelligence this time."

"I don't understand yet," he pinched the dessert on the table and put it in his mouth. Gongsun Helan chewed it and said to Li Jihe: "There are so many Yilimas in the ranch. That is a great thing. Let Wang Zhihong know that the ranch will be valued by the court in the future. Why do you still have to cover it up and look like a thief?"

"Young Master Helan is right," Li Jihe lowered the tea bowl, looked up at Gongsun Helan and whispered: "But one thing, I wonder if Mr. Helan has ever thought that if the court knew that there were nearly 10,000 Yili horses in this ranch, could they still be at ease and let the villain start to take care of it? Can Mr. Liu have a peaceful life in this "Yantian ranch"?"

"Ten thousand Yili horses, and most of them are pregnant mares, may even be unwilling to let go if the emperor knows it," Li Jihe continued: "Forced requisition, forced expropriation, or randomly put some crimes on it and directly confiscated are all common tricks used by those who serve the government and the army. It is not uncommon, and Master Helan is not unfamiliar with it. If they use these things in this "Yantian Ranch", even if Master Helan and General Kun Shang are standing beside him, they may not be able to block it."

"Well," Gongsun Helan nodded suddenly and said nothing more. Looking at the occasionally revealing foal in the yard, she said in a voice: "What are you going to deal with those thousand-mile horses?"

"In addition to the two horses taken away by Master Helan yesterday, there is still one in the village left in the horse shed," Li Jihe said softly: "Wang An will take Lord Wang to see it later. If nothing unexpected happens, this horse will be taken back to Chang'an for promotion by Lord Wang. As for the other four horses, the villain has made proper placement. When Lord Wang leaves, he will take them back."

"Send a thousand-mile horse to him?" Gongsun Helan turned his head and looked at Li Jihe, and said, "You are so generous and tight, but you are a little courageous. Once you give this thousand-mile horse, I think there will be less trouble in this ranch in the future."

"Only with giving, there is gain," Li Jihe continued to say respectfully: "This is what Mr. Liu taught to the villain when he came."

Although a thousand-mile horse is expensive, it seems a bit insignificant compared to the entire "Yantian Ranch". It is not difficult to distinguish which one should be given, which one should be given, which one is more important. Therefore, when saying this, there was not much pain on Li Jihe's face.

"After so long, do you know where Brother Liu is now? Is there any message to him?" Hearing Li Jihe mentioned these, Gongsun Helan once again spoke to Li Jihe and asked Li Jihe that he had always cared about the safety of Brother Liu's family.

"The villain has said this question many times. Master Helan should not be too embarrassed by it anymore." Seeing Gongsun Helan's tea bowl at the bottom, Li Jihe picked up the pot and poured it lightly for him, saying: "The villain and Mr. Liu met in Kuizhou for the first time. When they met, Mr. Liu covered his face with black cloth and did not tell him where he is now. The villain did everything he did today, just obeying Mr. Liu's instructions."

Man said that Li Jihe didn't know now. Even if he really had the exact news, he didn't dare to talk to others casually. After all, Liu Yi's current situation is not safe.

"Mr. Liu is not a vulgar person," Li Jihe said to Gongsun Helan in a vocal voice: "Some problems will definitely not be trapped. Master Helan should not worry. You and Mr. Liu and you will definitely meet."

"Well," he nodded slightly and withdrew his thoughts. Gongsun Helan stood up and looked at the sky outside. It was already noon. He said, "Okay, let's not mention it. It will be too late to talk about the future. Now it's not too late. Let's go back to the living room first. I think they will be hungry for a while and they will turn back."

"Yes, Young Master Helan!" Li Jihe also stood up, waved and greeted a friend beside him, gave him a few instructions, and then followed Gongsun Helan and entered the courtyard of the village.
