Chapter 252

Although Mojia village shows that it is OK to trade cattle and horses for stuffy horses, tiewu just doesn't mention it on the grassland and resolutely accepts only wine for horses.

On the one hand, the price of grassland horses is slightly higher, on the other hand, the speed of horses is fast, and the turnover cycle is greatly shortened.

Tiewu's left hand exchanged the stuffy horse for a large number of horses from the tribe, immediately rushed to Jiuyuan County, exchanged the stuffy horse from the Mohist children waiting in Jiuyuan County, and rushed to the next tribe as soon as possible.

In a short period of more than ten days, tiewu's horse team expanded sharply, and Mojia village also transported nearly 100 horses to Chang'an city. Moreover, as tiewu continues to go deep into the prairie and the business continues to expand, the number of horses obtained by Mojia village will be more and more in the future.

According to the alcohol tax of four taxes and one, Mojia village will hand in one horse for every four horses.

Of course, as an institution at the level of the Ministry of civil affairs, it certainly can not accept this most primitive way of tax payment.

With a stroke of pen, Dai Zhou directly removed the money and left the horse as a local tax to Chang'an County.

"Xian Zun, this is the wine tax paid this time. Please accept it."

Chang'an County Yamen, Xu Jie pointed to more than 20 horses behind him.

"Hard work, shopkeeper!" said suluosheng with a smile.

Horses are very valuable in the Tang Dynasty. Mojia village sent more than 20 horses at once, all of which are first-class grassland horses. How can we not make suluosheng happy and even speak politely.

"The county Lord has broken the villain." Xu Jielian hurriedly said.

As soon as Xu Jie left, Su Luosheng summoned Constable Cao.

"The constable usually patrols hard. From now on, these horses will be handed over to the constable." Su county magistrate said.

After a period of experiments, the city's early warning system has played a great role. As soon as the alarm bell rings, the captors of Chang'an County set out at the first time, greatly improving the efficiency. The case solving rate of the whole Chang'an County is several times higher than before.

In just a month or two, Chang'an County government relied on the early warning system to solve major cases repeatedly. Some thieves who used to be in a mess are now dead when they hear the alarm bell. The public security of the whole Chang'an County Government has greatly improved, which has greatly raised Su Luosheng's face.

However, there are many regrets that the thieves have disappeared when the captors arrive. In addition to Chang'an City, Chang'an County Magistrate also governs many villages with a long way to go. If the captors can be equipped with a large number of horses, they will be able to arrive at the scene in the shortest time. In time, the detection rate of Chang'an County will be the highest in the country.

Of course, Su Luosheng wanted to add a sum to his political achievements. When the horses from Mojia village were sent, he thought of constable Cao at the first time.

"Thank you, county magistrate!" Constable Cao said excitedly. With these horses, their hunting house is a change of gun.

"Once the alarm rings, the constable must arrive in the shortest time. If there is any slack, the county will punish him severely." Su Luosheng snapped.

Su Luosheng can achieve the position of Chang'an County. Of course, the charm carrot and stick,

Constable Cao replied positively, "yes!"

With more than 20 horses, the constable's face suddenly soared. There were one horse for patrol. He proudly patrolled in Chang'an City, greatly reducing the workload and improving the efficiency, which attracted a lot of praise in Chang'an city.

Su Luosheng couldn't help but be proud of the perfect solution to the horse problem. According to this, Chang'an County will definitely be rated as the best in this year's evaluation, only in terms of public security.

However, Su Luosheng was happy too early. Only ten days later, the second batch of more than 30 horses were also sent to Chang'an County Government! Tiewu is on the prairie. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and more horses are sent.

Suluosheng accepted the horse with mixed feelings.

A few days later, more than 50 horses were sent from Mojia village.

"The business of boring horses is so good in the grassland?" suluosheng was stunned.

The master smiled bitterly and said: "the county Reverend misunderstood. According to the Mohist school, this is not the liquor tax on the prairie, but the liquor tax of western countries. This is from tuhun Valley... And this is from Tubo..."

Su Luosheng found that this batch of breeds are diverse and messy. They are no longer the single grassland horses before.

Tiewu's hot business on the prairie immediately aroused the interest of Hu merchants. In addition to the prairie, there are many countries around Datang similar to the prairie.

Since the dull horse can wait for the prairie to prevail, it can naturally make money in these countries, so many Hu merchants took action immediately. He pieced together a lot of horses. After exchanging stuffy horses with Mojia village, he immediately went back to seize the market as soon as possible.

When Su Luosheng saw so many horses, he was no longer happy, but looked sad.

So far, with the original horses, there are at least more than 120 horses in Chang'an County Government. The whole county government government is like a horse market. Horses cry constantly and horse dung is everywhere. And raising horses is also expensive. The daily consumption of these horses is a terrible number.

"In the long run, Chang'an County Yamen may be dragged down by these horses."

In the Mo mansion, suluosheng vomited bitterness to Merton.

"What does Lord Sue mean?" said Merton.

"Can Mojia village exchange horses for silver to pay taxes!" Su Luosheng said his purpose directly.

Merton said with a wry smile: "Lord Su is joking. The alcohol tax of Mohist Ghana is four taxes and one, that is to say, Mohist village has three times as many horses as Chang'an County Government."

Merton never thought that he would dislike more horses. In just a few months, he directly increased hundreds of horses. Now, the four-wheel carriages sold in Mojia village are directly matched with horses.

"Lord Su can go to the West horse shop and ask if he can do it." Merton had an idea.

Su Luosheng shook his head and said, "this is not feasible. When the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocates money, but the price of these horses is calculated according to the market price. The horse bank's bid is too low."

Su Luosheng didn't think of this method, but what the horse bank wants is profit. Naturally, it is unwilling to buy and sell at par. Moreover, if suluosheng sells low, it is suspected of selling state property at a low price. Of course, suluosheng is not willing to give up this excuse.

"Oh!"

Merton immediately understood suluosheng's concerns. These horses can't be sold at a low price, but they can't be wasted in Chang'an County Government.

"If so, boy, I have a suggestion," Merton blurted out.

"Lord Murdoch, please teach me!" suluosheng kept a low attitude. The reason why he came to Merton in person was to ask Merton to solve the problem for him.

"The greatest function of horses is to take the place of walking. Few people can own horses or carriages, while ordinary people rely on walking." Merton nodded.

Su Luosheng nodded and said, "but this move of Mojia village will certainly be able to introduce a large number of horses from the grassland. Over time, I believe that ordinary people will also be able to own horses."

Merton shook his head and said, "Lord Su is very kind. Even if you can afford horses, it costs a lot to raise horses, and only a few people have horses. For example, in Chang'an City, most of them can only travel on foot."

Su Luosheng suddenly said, "Lord Mo means to let these horses take the place of ordinary people."

Merton nodded and said with a smile, "Lord Su is wise, but a horse can't carry more than one person. If you change to a carriage, you can certainly carry more than ten people. Adults can think about how much it will benefit the people if hundreds of horses pull the carriage and drive along the established route to send the traveling Chang'an citizens to their destination one by one."

Su Luosheng's eyes brightened and his breath stagnated.

"This is an idea of Mohist school, which calls it public transportation system," Merton said with a smile.
