Farming and reading family

Tie Guangyi had advised him against this before, but he was just greedy and thought that once a war broke out, the price of horses would skyrocket and he could make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, the war did not break out, but the price of grain rose instead. If he was not allowed to release the horses, he would not be able to raise so many horses.

After hearing the whole story, Gao E thought it was something she could do: "How many horses do you have?"

"This lady wants to buy a horse?" Zhang Bohan was surprised.

He has more than a hundred horses for sale, as well as mares and foals. As long as Gao E offers a suitable price, he can sell them all.

"To be honest, I borrowed money at high interest rates before. Even if I sell all the horses at this price, I probably still won't be able to pay off my debt." Zhang Bohan sighed.

Gao E thought about it. Ji Wuyang said he wanted to raise horses, but she didn't know if he could raise horses.

When the time comes, she will buy a group of horses and take them back. Peng Can is not good at it, and Ji Wuyang has no time. What should she do with so many horses?

"Are you willing to cooperate with me in raising horses?" Gao E asked directly.

Zhang Bohan was a little puzzled.

"I will buy all these horses at the current price, and I will also make up for the money you owe me. After that, you and Tie Guangyi will come to my place to raise horses, and we will see how to cooperate." Gao E said directly.

Zhang Bohan thought about it and now he no longer had the heart to sell horses himself: "Why don't you hire me to raise horses? The silver you give me will be considered as a loan, and it will be deducted from my wages in the future."

Gao E looked at Zhang Bohan.

"I'm not happy with what you said. I was originally a horse appraiser. I thought I could sell horses just because I could appraise them, but in the end..." He spread his hands helplessly. "I've seen clearly too. I'm suited to raising and appraising horses."

Gao E thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

After discussing this matter, Gao E returned to Wujun and sent a carrier pigeon to her home, asking Ji Wuyang to come quickly with the money.

She stayed in Wujun for a while waiting for them.

During this period, Gao E realized that everything was rising in price, especially food.

Firstly, it is normal that food prices rise every year during the lean period after the Lunar New Year.

Secondly, there were floods in many places in the south, and large areas of crops were completely destroyed.

In addition, the prices of silk and pearls also rose sharply because the imperial court had relaxed the use of these two items, and now anyone with money could use them.

"I want to go out for a walk." Lu Qingluo saw Gao E reading a book.

"You don't want to." Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo. "If you continue to see injustice, we won't be able to leave Wujun."

"The result is good. It solves your problem of buying a horse." Lu Qingluo spread his hands.

"Your idea is terrible." Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo seriously. "You can't just say that you killed someone who happened to be a bandit, and then go out and kill people every day."

"I'm not stupid." Lu Qingluo retorted.

"The key is that you still think you are not stupid." Gao E said seriously.

Lu Qingluo had nothing to say.

Ji Wuyang brought Xie Changyao with him, and encountered some setbacks when they went to pay back the debt. Fortunately, Ji Wuyang and Lu Qingluo were full of martial arts, and the problem was easily resolved.

Gao E and the others continued on their way to the capital. This time they did not rest in a big city, but only stopped for a while when they were almost there.

Gao E had also seen prosperity, but the prosperity of the capital still surprised her a little.

This kind of prosperity is full of fireworks and is not just noisy. Gao E actually likes it very much.

Gao E went to the address given by Luo Qing'er but found no one there. She asked around and everyone said they didn't know anyone lived there.

Gao E was surprised and thought that Luo Qing'er could not have lied to her, so she waited until dark, but still no one came back, so she had to take people to find a place to stay.

The prosperity of the capital city was built with silver. The cheapest inn cost three taels of silver per room, but Gao E still wanted to open three more.

"Nothing will happen to Luo Qing'er, right?" Lu Qingluo was a little worried.

"Let's go to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow to ask." Gao E was also worried that something had happened to Luo Qing'er.

The next day, Gao E asked Yun Zhou and the others to stay in the inn, and she took Lu Qingluo to the Princess's Mansion.

Lu Qingluo had been to the Princess's Mansion before, but still felt unfamiliar when she came here again.

When the guards at the gate heard that they were from Batou Village, they immediately went to report it. After all, the guards from the Princess's Mansion had been to Batou Village.

Soon someone came to take them in.

"The eldest princess has gone out. Please wait here for a moment." The steward said respectfully and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks.

Gao E only felt that the Princess's Mansion was big. In a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable, it took them more than ten minutes to walk from the door to here. It felt bigger than their Baotou Village.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gao E nodded.

The steward told the people around him to treat them well and then left.

"Everyone in the capital is so busy." Lu Qingluo said boredly.

Gao E felt the same way.

"If something happens to Luo Qing'er, will Huanxizhu in the capital still be able to open?" Lu Qingluo asked in a low voice.

Gao E was also thinking about this problem, and thought that nothing serious would happen. If something serious happened, Xu Boyan would send a pigeon to tell her.

The two men waited until the afternoon when the eldest princess came back, and they went straight to see Gao E without even changing their clothes.

"Why didn't you tell someone before you came?" The person sitting next to the eldest princess hurriedly poured water.

The eldest princess picked up the teacup and took two sips before putting it down.

"I didn't want to bother the princess." Gao E stood up and said respectfully.

The eldest princess gestured for Gao E to sit down: "You mean that even if you come, you don't want to see me."

"The princess is too busy." Gao E said as she slowly sat down.

The princess thought she was indeed busy: "A bunch of old bastards, scolding them makes me thirsty."

Gao E would not ask about the affairs of the court: "I just want to ask where Luo Qing'er is now?"

The eldest princess was not sure: "She should be in Prince Qing's Mansion."

"Ah?" Gao E was surprised.

"Before, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister fell in love with Xu Boyan. She thought Luo Qing'er was Xu Boyan's woman and beat her up. Xu Boyan then bought Luo Qing'er a house outside."

"Who knew that Miss Hu thought Xu Boyan was going to have a mistress, so she chased after Luo Qing'er and beat her up. Because of this, Xu Boyan had a falling out with his boss, and he is still suspended." The eldest princess said with a smile.

"When did it happen?" Gao E was surprised.

How could Xu Boyan let Luo Qing'er suffer such injustice?

"Just a few days ago." The eldest princess guessed, "I think Prince Qing is a little interested in Luo Qing'er."

Gao E thought this was quite confusing: "That shouldn't be the case."

"With her looks, marrying an ordinary person would be a disaster." The eldest princess reminded Gao E.

Gao E has always known this truth.

"Why did you suddenly come to the capital to find her?" The eldest princess thought that Gao E had something to do.

Gao E told Luo Qing'er about her plan to start cooking.

"I know that." The eldest princess nodded. "As long as she wants to open up and mentions my name, everyone will give her some face."

"But as it is now, I don't know if she still wants to open it." Gao E was worried.

The eldest princess looked down upon that little profit: "If you want to open it, you can."

"I have a big family and the academy has just started teaching, so I can't leave." Gao E said with a smile.
