Chapter 93 Tiger Might
"Old man, you are so old, it's inconvenient to follow so many people on a carriage, right?" Zhang Kuang confronted the person beside him who was similar in age to himself, but much older than he looked. the old man asked.

The old man glanced at Madness in obvious surprise. After all, the people in front of him were wearing brocade clothes. Under normal circumstances, they would not share a carriage with ordinary people like him. They all took taxis.

"I hear my brother's accent doesn't sound like someone from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, from the north?"

Zhang Kuang laughed and said: "Old brother has a good eye, you can see the identity of my brother at a glance, my brother is from the northern Xinjiang, it is not because of a small matter that delays a few days in Yangzhou, and I have nothing to do in the inn. Looking at the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't expect that as soon as I went out, I would be greeted by this street full of public servants."

"bus."

"That's right, I still have a clear mind, my brother can't do it anymore. When I get older, I can't remember it clearly. There are buses all over the street, and my brother is very curious. I have been to Yangzhou a few times. When will this bus be here? This kind of thing, if you really haven’t been out for three years, the world has changed a lot.”

The old man chuckled softly: "It's not just your brother who was surprised, when the bus first came out, the whole Yangzhou was shocked. We, the common people who eat and eat in the soil, can't afford a single mule. Being able to ride on such an expensive thing as a carriage, I got used to it later, and spending a few pennies saves a lot of effort, it’s worth it!”

"Brother, but you see that this car is full of people, don't you feel bored? Brother, it's hard to move your hands and feet, it's certain that your back will be sore and numb after sitting for a long time."

"No way, it wasn't so crowded before. Later, due to long-distance transportation, the number of people coming and going in Yangzhou City was three times higher than before. Just squeeze a little bit, it's better than carrying Lao Shen's items all over the street. Running is much easier, as I get older, I used to be out of breath if I couldn’t walk a few steps, but riding a carriage is different. It takes half a quarter of an hour from the south of the city to the north of the city, and I can do a lot of things in the remaining hours.”

"Oh, brother, can anyone take this bus?"

"Of course, anyone can take a seat. As long as you don't bring things like pigs, horses, cattle and sheep into the carriage, anyone can take a seat. It's more convenient to bring some goods and grains. The horsemen are thoughtful. It also specially designed a carriage for women, and only allowed those little daughters-in-law to ride, saying that it was to avoid the marriage between men and women. Alas, we poor families can still take care of that, but Ma Yuanwai Hong Yuanwai really does it. Let's think about it, we can't help but know whether it's good or not. If you want something bigger, there are carriages at the city gate that specially pull the goods, so paying more is more convenient than anything else."

"It seems that this horse member and Hong member are all good people."

"That's not right. Anyone in Yangzhou city who doesn't think about their goodness will say that they are great good people. But if we say that the biggest good person is the Liu family, the idea for this bus is the Liu family."

"Liu family? That Liu family?"

"I don't know about this old man, but I heard that it was a member of Jinling's family. You said that Jinling's member went to Yangzhou to make a living on a horse-drawn carriage. I really don't understand what they think."

Liu Mingzhi didn't want to, but Jinling didn't have a horse farm. If it was a huge expense to transport the horses to Jinling, it would be better to use local materials, and the Hong family's timber business to build the carriage, I don't know how much trouble it would save.

Zhang Kuang's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "Jiangnan Liu Family."

"Brother, thank you, brother, I'm going to get off."

"You walk slowly."

After Zhang Kuang got out of the car, he looked at the moving carriage, and suddenly his ears twitched. This horse was a little different. After a long time, Zhang Kuang immediately felt that the horses pulling the carriage were different. Let’s not say that these horses are not those old horses. The horses can be compared. The sound of the hooves alone is different from that of the cavalry under his subordinates.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Kuang shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, maybe I'm confused"

"Master, if you say that the Liu family is really good, they are willing to build these luxurious carriages for ordinary people to use. I don't know how many times stronger than those blood-drinking lords."

"Okay? It's too popular, it's not necessarily a good thing!" Zhang Kuang said softly.

Zhang Sanyi didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Master?"

"I saw the bus, let's go to see the taxi, Yangzhou, there are too many interesting things."

After riding in the taxi for a while, he arrogantly yelled at the driver. There was no chatter and laughter in the carriage. He felt more and more that the sound of the horse's hooves outside the carriage was a bit wrong. The sound is too crisp, as if it is the sound of percussion instruments, which is somewhat pleasant.

The driver pulled the reins of the horse: "Dear guest, have you been to the place yet? Thank you very much for taking the Yangzhou rental carriage. Welcome to your next visit. I wish you a happy life."

Zhang Kuang jumped out of the carriage without saying a word, and turned around the horses pulling the carriage. Although the driver was puzzled, he did not stop it. After taking a few glances, the horses were all high-quality horses, but they were still a bit better than the horses of the northern cavalry. The difference, why would there be a different feeling?

Zhang Kuang pointed at the groom: "Drive the carriage for a walk."

The groom drew his whip twice, and the carriage moved a few meters.

"stop."

Zhang Kuang squatted down and raised the horse's hoof. The horse tried to break free, but was restrained by Zhang Kuang and couldn't move at all: "The coachman, what is embedded on the horse's hoof?"

The coachman came out of the horse's carriage, so he naturally knew what a horseshoe was, but Ma Biao got the order of Liu Mingzhi about the horseshoe, and no one was allowed to publicize it.

"Guest, there's nothing else to do to solicit customers. Would you please let me go?"

"No, tell me what's inlaid on the horse's hoof and I'll let you go."

"VIP, the little guy doesn't understand, so don't make it difficult for the little guy. The little guy is just a driver, and the little guy doesn't know anything."

Zhang Kuang stood up and stared at the driver with fierce tiger eyes: "I'll give you another chance, what's inlaid on the horse's hoof?"

Who is arrogant?A veteran who has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for decades, fought thousands of battles, and was killed in a sea of ​​corpses and blood, this kind of momentum is unbearable even for his generals, let alone a horse that raises horses. , The driver only felt cold all over, as if he was being watched by a tiger who had been hungry for three days.

"What's on the horse's hoof?" An emotionless voice came out of Zhang Kuang's mouth.

The driver's eyes were lost: "Horseshoes."

"What is a horseshoe? Why is it inlaid on a horseshoe?"

"The horseshoe is the shoe of the horse's hoof. It prevents the hoof from being worn away during running, and can protect the hoof from damage."

Zhang Kuang was stunned, and hurriedly looked at the other horseshoes. Sure enough, every horseshoe was staring at the horseshoe. No wonder the bus horses can walk like flying with such a large carriage, and they don't care that the horseshoes will be hit on the stone slabs of the street. The damage, it turns out that this thing made a ghost, if it is the horse of the northern cavalry
"How long will a horseshoe last? How much is a pair of silver."

"Generally, it can be used for about a year, and thirty copper coins can be used to make a pair."

The horseshoe is thirty renminbi, and a war horse can be replaced for more than 100 taels of silver. This is basically the country's most important weapon.

"Where to build?"

"Yangzhou Wangjia Iron Shop."

"San'er, lead the way to the Wang Family Iron Shop."

After arrogantly left, the driver slumped to the ground in sweat, this feeling of choosing someone to eat is really uncomfortable.
