Chapter 92

"President, three thousand coins cannot be more!"

"Otherwise, this horse is worth six or seven thousand coins, how could I be short of you?"

In Huyang Pavilion, Heifu and Ju were having a unique bargaining. The seller Ju kept suppressing the price, but the buyer Heifu kept raising the price...

It turned out that the horse came to visit and said that Heifu had saved his daughter's life, but he had no other answer. He had a pretty good horse at home, and he was too old to ride. He hoped that Heifu could accept it.

Heifu flatly rejected Ju's kindness without thinking.

He said seriously: "Not to say that I will help you find your daughter, it is your duty. Just say that Qin Law does not allow officials to receive bribes in private. If you give one ounce, you will be a Chengdan! This horse is worth at least several thousand yuan. If you give it to a horse, it will not only not benefit me, but will harm me."

In Qin State, if you accept bribes and accept bribes as much as a copper coin, you will be punished with tattoos on your face and hard labor. It is the most severe period of greed in history, and it can be compared during the Ming Taizu period. Although there are people who can be trusted around you, Heifu does not want to try the law with his own body and ruin his future for the sake of greed for some profit. It is not worth it.

This made the hoo very anxious. He quickly said that he was not bribing, but repaying his kindness.

"The difference between repaying kindness and bribery is not in the law."

Heifu said as he looked at the horse, but he saw that the horse was red, with smooth hair and no damage. The horse's hooves were the same in shape, with shoulder height similar to Heifu's height, with bright eyes, and horse chewing in the horse's mouth, and the reins fell down, but there were only "corns" on his back, no saddles, and no stirrups...

The ju said that he worked in the cattle and horse garden in the countryside and took care of these livestock on weekdays. As expected, the horse he raised was also very strong. Although Heifu didn't know how to look at horses, Li Xian knew a little. After walking around the horse, he told Heifu that this was indeed a good horse.

Heifu couldn't help but flashed an idea. The time between Qin and Chu was getting shorter and shorter. Not only did he have to practice swordsmanship, archery, but he might also have to learn riding and driving. These are essential skills for Qin military officials. Moreover, with horses to travel to the county town or go home, the time for going to the county town or going home can be reduced by half. He doesn't have to take a break every time, and he is waiting on the side of the road for a ride.

When the foal was sad because he failed to give the horse, the black husband suddenly said, "It's better to pay for the horse yourself!"

So, the two bargained.

"Six thousand and six hundred yuan can't be less. If it's less, I will take advantage of you by favor."

After some push, Heifu set the price at once. He received a reward of more than 5,000 yuan last time, and some savings were just enough.

So he shouted to the horse, took the money and horse, and followed him to the township and township to testify. The two of them made a coupon and left half of each, so that the transaction was legally completed.

The township officials were amazed at this because although Qin State stipulated that officials were not allowed to benefit, Heifu and Ju had no official relationship now. It was said that it was a private gift, and there was no need to be punished by law. However, Heifu said in a stern manner: "If you lose your horse, you cannot ride a horse; if you don't receive a Paul, you will have a horse for life. I am not a moral integrity person, I am just afraid of the law and Paul position and dare not take it..."

After saying that, Heifu bowed and led the horse away with everyone in the township.

Holding the heavy copper coins, the jutsu looked at the back of Heifu's departure, feeling mixed feelings, and could only thank him.

On the other hand, the Blackfu, who left the market, looked at the horse that already belonged to him and stared at him with big eyes.

The horse was a little recognizable. After the horse left, it sniffed a little uneasy and looked at the black man in front of him with a scrutiny. At this time, the black man suddenly remembered a question.

"I can't ride a horse!"

He is not the kind of talented person who can ride a horse and drive a breeze and shoot a bear as soon as he travels through time. He doesn't dare to ride alone on the tortuous and bumpy path, and fall down and break his neck. That would be funny.

So the black man could only lead the horse and slowly walked back to Huyang Pavilion...

...

After that day, Ju met everyone in the village and said that Heifu was a honest and righteous man. Heifu's words, "If you lose your salary after a horse, you cannot ride a horse; if you don't receive a salary, you will have a horse for life" were also spread through the mouths of the town officials and spread to the county town, which washed away a lot of the image of Heifu's "ruthless official" left behind by the last case.

The three virtues of righteousness, courage and integrity are prepared, and the cases have been solved repeatedly, making the local security. In the eyes of the people of Anlu County, Heifu is almost a perfect Qin official.

How can such a person bend to the head of the small pavilion? Some people have begun to repay the bad husband.

Hefu was not aware of his reputation changes. He spent the whole month of May learning how to ride a horse.

Horses were very important in ancient China. Because of their important uses in wars, transportation, etc., it was called the first of the "Six Livestock". At first, horses were only used for driving. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, they gradually began to ride single horses. When King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting, the wind of riding was even more popular in the north...

Nanjun is a Jianghan River Water Network. It uses more boats than horses, but the government still raises many horses in the pastoral garden. There are two large horse farms in Anlu County. There are also many private horses. Generally speaking, people with titles above "Zhanniu" basically have to own horses, because Zhanniu's original intention is to form a horse, so this title is also called "Zhanniu", which means that you can bring your own horses to the battlefield.

Although Heifu was a small man, he still could afford this horse. The reward he received was more than 20,000 yuan. Apart from buying oxen and horses for his family, there were still several thousand left, which could satisfy the beans and beans that the horse ate every day. The manuscript of the beans and beans that the horse ate every day. Heifu dared not embezzle the beans and beans in the pavilion. In Qin, it was not only not allowed to accept bribes, but also not allow public grain to be used for private use. This behavior is like later generations taking public cards to cheer for private cars. Once discovered, it would be punished for theft.

Since the case of Blind Mountain, perhaps because of their reputation as "the five people in Huyangting", everyone in the jurisdiction of the Tingmen Department has been honest, and even idle people have disappeared. So throughout June, official business suddenly became idle.

The black husband had plenty of time. After feeding the horse, he rode it out to walk around.

These days, there are no saddles, only horse horns, and even stirrups, so riding is not easy. Fortunately, Li Xian in the pavilion is the only one who can ride a horse, and he has taught Heifu some experiences.

"When controlling a horse, the horse may be disobedient. Don't be afraid at this time. The more you are afraid, the worse it is. This beast is smart. He can feel whether a person can ride a horse or not. If he knows that a person can't ride a horse and is afraid of it, he will not take people seriously and will not obey orders at all."

"Don't be afraid of falling horses. If you accidentally fall down, if you don't have any serious problems, you should quickly return to the horse's back."

Heifu also knew from him that in those movies about horses, they are gentle, kind and human, etc. As long as people are gentle to them, they will definitely be gentle to others. They are only suitable for veterans and not for beginners.

The real situation is that horses are very proud animals. When you are a newcomer, most of the horses do not take you seriously. If you want to run, it will not run. You have to go left, it will turn to the right, you have to move forward, it will bow its head and eat grass.

At this time, what the black husband has to do is to be strict and decisive to the horse, and to ask it to obey itself. The so-called riding of a horse is the process of taming, letting the horse know who is the master, so that it can execute your will without hesitation. So at the beginning, you must be strict with the horse. If you want to move forward, you must drive forward. If you want to stay still, you must stop. If it is disobedient, control it with a rein and slowly cultivate its obedience to people.

When the horse understood who the real master was and began to obey, the Heifu also had a tacit understanding after spending more than a month with him and fed him and trained him every day. At the beginning, he only dared to walk slowly, gradually he could trot, and even tightly clamp his legs against the horse's belly, allowing it to let go of its legs and feet and gallop...

On the first day of July, the autumn harvest is approaching. Heifu is riding on the road to the township. Anlu County has a good year this year. After autumn, the rain is high, and the rice in the fields begins to change color slowly, from lush and green to golden. When the autumn wind blows, the yellow crops are undulating, and a fragrance of rice mixed with heat. You can see the fields full of people, and the last work before the autumn harvest is carried out.

When Heifu was about to arrive in the village, he turned a corner and prepared to follow the path through a gathering and head to the garden several miles away. There were a hundred acres of pastures, which was a good place to practice horse skills.

The laborers have all gone to the fields to work, so there is no one in Liju. Although this place does not belong to Heifu's jurisdiction, when riding on the horse, Heifu still subconsciously looks around to see that there are idle and unemployed people in the room. This is the occupational disease of the pavilion leader.

Just as he was about to walk out of the house, he suddenly heard a terrified scream from beside him.

"Murdered!"

The horse was shocked by the shouting, suddenly raised its front legs, made a neigh, almost lifting the black husband down!
