Section 7, the prospects are bright

Everyone was listening to Xiao Buyi's analysis, finding it quite reasonable. This young master not only had a knack for robbery, but it also seemed that he was quite adept at raising horses and conducting business.

However, raising horses requires at least three years of preparation time. Xiao Buyi reminded: "From the time a mare is impregnated until it gives birth to a foal, it takes at least three years to be battle-ready. However, we can adopt a method of tiered crossbreeding, which will ensure a continuous supply of warhorses after three years. Therefore, if considering the long term, it is certainly advisable to choose a suitable location for horse breeding and focus on self-development. However, in the short term, if one wishes to open up the market and establish a brand... Therefore, if considering the long term, it is certainly advisable to choose a suitable location for horse breeding and focus on self-development. However, in the short term, if one wishes to open up the market and establish a brand...

How does that young master express the well-known saying? Pang Huai pondered deeply, unable to find the method.

Xue Burin sighed and said, "You are not wrong, but what you are saying is much further than what we had in mind. Your father and I were only considering finding some tribes in the Turkic region to establish connections, and then buying horses to trade in the Central Plains. However, your plan seems to be even better."

Fortunately, Xiao Dapeng only requires his son, and regardless of his son's nonsensical remarks, he treats him with tolerance, which allows him the opportunity to adapt

Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, Xiao Buyi was puzzled, "What, did I say something wrong"

"That many half refers to his singular meaning." Mo Feng could only interpret it this way

No matter what you do, unity is the most important; otherwise, it will merely lead to internal consumption at www.hetushu.com.com, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed

"Only a ghost would know," Mo Feng shook his head, "I only know that the horses we ride include both official horses and those that were seized."

No longer discussing the issue of rebellion, Xiao Buyi returned to the old path. "The Gongma is a famous horse, but clearly only princes and nobles can ride it. The captured war horses are merely incidental. The real buyers of this lucrative market are the trade exchanges, particularly the official horses from the Central Plains. Of course, I believe there are already many people like us who aspire to raise horses as a profession."

Gazing at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Xiao Buyi knew he had to showcase some skills; otherwise, not only would the younger generation be dissatisfied, but even figures like Jiao Zuo and Shi Gandan would harbor grievances in the future

Everyone was nodding in agreement, yet Xiao Buyi felt a bit of a headache. If he were unaware of history and only heard a few words from Xue Burin, coupled with the imposing presence of Zhang Xutuo, it was quite possible that in a moment of enthusiasm, he might have been tempted to join the hunt in the Central Plains.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xiao Buyi continued, "Although the Turks are fierce, their breed of horses truly stands out in the world. If we are to acquire warhorses, they are undoubtedly the primary buyers for everyone. We must seize their business. In addition to considering the convenience of price negotiations, we should strive to raise excellent and renowned horses, along with illustrations to attract attention. Yes, that is important. If we are to engage in this trade, we must aim to be the best horse traders. When chaos reigns in the world and warhorses are in short supply, we will not have to beg others; they will come to us seeking our horses. That will be a grand spectacle, and how could we possibly lose face in such a situation?"

"It is well known, do you know?" Pang Huai could not help but ask Mo Feng

It is fortunate that he does not have a deep study of history, yet he has some knowledge of the origins of famous horses from various dynasties, which allows him to express such insights. However, while famous horses are recorded in historical texts, there are no notable figures documented in the trade of horses. Throughout history, many dynasties have prioritized agriculture over commerce, and the Sui Dynasty is one such example. It is understandable that the short-lived nature of the dynasty either did not allow for documentation or led to a disregard for it.

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but smile when he noticed the somewhat admiring gazes of the crowd. He was an equestrian, but his interests spanned a wide range, and he held a deep affection for horses, humanity's best friends. Everything came easily to him, and he did not approach matters from a business perspective.

No. Xiao Buyi shook his head, "It is convenient to retreat here, but it is not good to hold our ground. Raising horses is a long-term endeavor, and we must definitely secure a location; we cannot easily allow others to come in."

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing the two whispering to each other

When the group heard him mention market branding, they were all somewhat perplexed, pondering the meaning of his words. Only Pang Huai and Mo Feng, having been with Xiao Buyi for a long time, knew that ever since the young master had fallen seriously ill, it was as if he had been awakened from a dream, occasionally uttering fresh and difficult-to-understand terms. Therefore, Pang Huai, not wanting to overthink it, simply asked directly.

After a passionate speech from Xiao Buyi, even the people of Jiaozuo were stirred. The Sui Dynasty prioritized agriculture over commerce, and those engaged in trade were traditionally regarded as lowly. They were originally soldiers, and their sudden shift to horse trading was somewhat reluctant. However, upon hearing Xiao Buyi's eloquent words, they felt that the future had become bright and full of potential

What made him feel embarrassed was that his seemingly ordinary summary had already caused Xue Burin to nod repeatedly. "A young master who rarely leaves home can still understand the trends of the world; this truly reflects strategic planning and the ability to win from afar. In fact, with the young master's insight and skills, there is no need to engage in horse trading; even in competing for the world, I believe there is great potential."

However, after being here for several months, he has come to understand that although human effort plays a role, certain matters are beyond one's control. With his limited abilities, it is quite possible for him to secure a modest living, but recklessly joining the ranks of the rebel king and becoming cannon fodder is also a strong possibility, for Xiao Buyi has never appeared in the annals of history.

Regarding the unusual behavior of Xiao Buyi, Laozi Xiao Dapeng actually felt some concern; otherwise, he would not have invited a Taoist priest to exorcise spirits back then. However, seeing that Xiao's speech was normal, he did not dwell on it further. Since the village chief Laozi had no doubts, the others, even if they had questions, would only keep them to themselves.

Fat Huai was somewhat taken aback, "So that's how it is. When the young head of the family speaks, it is indeed different and thought-provoking"

"Buying a horse requires money, but raising a horse only requires experience and grass." Xue Burin became increasingly agitated as he spoke, "Practices like those of the commoners, relying on the mountains for sustenance and the waters for resources, clearly indicate that raising one's own horses is a far better plan."

If we speak of horses, it is evident without question, said Xiao Buyi: "The horses from the grasslands are strong and rare. The more than ten warhorses we captured yesterday, though not particularly impressive, are already superior to those in our stronghold. Now, we only need to go to the grasslands to seek out quality breeds. If we can find excellent horse breeds, this area, being a no-man's land with open terrain, would be ideal for establishing a horse-breeding valley, allowing us to breed horses continuously. This is the long-term solution."

He spoke simply, and these people were all rough individuals, frequently nodding in agreement, "I see."

Logically speaking, having been in the mountain stronghold for several months, he should not be aware of these matters, as he has been preoccupied with either robbing or practicing his knife skills for self-defense, and thus how could he know the source of the horses

However, the quantity of this pancake is ultimately limited. Xiao Buyi tried to express himself as simply and clearly as possible, "The number of people who eat and seek pancakes is increasing. We are certainly not the first to sell horses, nor will we be the last. As is well known, there are several sources of horses for the court and the Central Plains righteous army today: one is the tribute horses from foreign lands, another is the captured warhorses, the other two are from market transactions, and the last source is the locally bred horses in the Central Plains.

Xiao Buyi suddenly realized that he had unconsciously adopted the marketing language of his era. While the term might refer to a market, similar to its original meaning, the connotation is significantly different, and the concept of branding is even more perplexing to them. Having been in the Sui Dynasty for several months, he had essentially integrated into this society, trying to mimic the tone and habits of speech as much as possible. However, his thinking remained deeply rooted, so when he spoke passionately, he would occasionally express himself in the style of his own time.

"What does 'open the market' mean?" Pang Huai couldn't help but ask, "And what does 'young master' and 'brand' mean?"

"Is imitation not acceptable?" asked Xue Burin

After careful consideration, Xiao Buyi finally formulated his words: "In fact, we can envision the buyers of the demand for warhorses as a large pancake. We, the horse traders, are akin to those who consume the pancake, and this large pancake represents the so-called market"

It is indeed a difficult task for him to conquer the world, but raising horses is an exceedingly simple matter for him
