After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 69 Racecourse

Nan Wu saw Gu Qin staring at the girl's back in a daze, and her eyes became even redder. "So, she is the one you are interested in, right?"

Gu Qin turned around and looked at her, frowning, "I don't know her, I don't even know her name, how can I be interested in her."

"I still have things to do, Miss Nan, please go back." After saying that, he went back to the general's mansion.

Nan Wu didn't believe what he said. The person lived next door to him, so how could he not know him?

He was looking at the person's back just now, how could he not be unintentional?

So Nan Wu chased in the direction Yuan Man left and stopped her when she was leaving the city.

Yuan Man looked at Miss Nan Wu who was staring at him, and asked in confusion: "Miss Nan, what do you mean by stopping me from leaving the city?"

"What is your relationship with Gu Qin?" Nan Wu asked through gritting teeth.

"It doesn't matter. Including the time I met him today, I've only met him three times in total. What's the big deal?" Yuan Man knew that she had misunderstood.

But why did she suddenly misunderstand me?

"Impossible. You live next door to him. How is it possible that you have only seen him three times? Who are you kidding?" Nan Wu's face was full of disbelief.

Yuan Man rolled his eyes secretly and asked, "How can it be impossible? I just came to Beifang City yesterday and just bought that yard. I have only seen him three times. What's wrong?"

"Besides, why would I lie to you? What do you have to do with me?"

"Miss Nan, who gave you the idea that I had something to do with him?"

Nan Wu believed her 30% of the words, but when she thought of Gu Qin staring at her back, she cut off the 30% and said, "You are not from Beifang City, so are you from Zengcheng?"

Yuan Man saw her staring at him with suspicion in her eyes, and he knew what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "No, I'm from Mingzhou City and I'm here to travel."

"Miss Nan, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

After Yuan Man finished speaking, he mounted his horse, passed her, and rode out of Beifang City.

Nan Wu watched her back as she walked away. When she turned around to leave, she saw the words on the city wall: East Gate.

Shouldn't she go back through the north gate?

Nan Wu immediately felt that her idea was correct and that the woman was lying to her.

But in order to avoid having her pass taken away, she left Beifang City first, but she also instructed people to stay in Beifang City and keep an eye on it. If the woman came again, she must be notified.

Yuanman didn't know about her arrangements and ideas, and even if he did, he wouldn't take them seriously.

I walked all the way to the horse farm east of Beifang City, saw a few horses on the hillside, and slowly approached them on horseback.

After taking a look, I found that these horses were all old horses.

Yuanman rode his horse around the horse farm. The farm was very large. In addition to the small grassy hill in the middle, there were also horse stables and farmhouses that also occupied a considerable area.

The place is surrounded by two rows of large fences, so the horses cannot escape and there is no need to worry about people stealing the horses.

The stable was very clean. The only downside was that when she looked around, she only saw a few old horses and a few foals that were newly born.

"Hey, who are you? How can you enter the horse farm without permission? Get out now." A loud shout rang out behind Yuan Man.

Yuan Man dismounted and looked at the person who came. He was a tall young man.

"you are?"

"I'm Lu Rou, the manager of the horse farm. Who are you and what bring you here to our horse farm?" Lu Rou looked at the person in front of him and saw at first glance that it was a woman dressed as a man.

Yuan Man asked Yuan Yi to untie the horse's reins and let it run freely for a while, then he looked at Lu Ke and said, "I am the new owner of this horse farm."

Lu looked at her in surprise, but then he thought it was a small matter. This horse farm has had no income for a long time, and there are only old horses in the farm. It is a loss to keep them, so it is normal to sell them.

After looking at the contract Yuan Man handed over, he immediately bowed and said, "Hello, sir. What do you want from the horse farm today?"

Yuan Man turned around and looked at the stable and asked, "I got a group of young horses and want to raise them on the stable. How many horses can this stable hold?"

Lu Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this. "How many young horses do you have?"

"We have about a hundred horsemen at our stable. It's not a small stable and can probably hold about five thousand adult horses."

"If you have a lot of young horses, we can build some more stables when they grow up."

Yuan Man frowned, thinking that this stable was a little small, and could only accommodate about 5,000 horses. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will leave 10,000 young horses here, and you can build a stable. If the land is not enough, you can buy some more land and expand the size of the stable."

"You should arrange to buy land and build a stable as soon as possible. Calculate and tell me how much money it will cost to buy land to expand the stable and build a stable."

Raising horses requires not only good grass but also enough space for the horses to run freely.

Lu Lu's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll take you to see the stable first, and then you can help me decide where the new stable should be built."

Yuan Man nodded and followed him to the stable, asking as he walked, "Why are there so many old horses on the stable?"

Lu Lu's eyes darkened as he said, "Two years ago, the previous owner took all the horses from the stables away and never sent any new horses. These old horses were taken back from the homes of some down-and-out scholars by my subordinates."

"But these horses are mostly male horses, so no foals have been born."

All the horses were taken away two years ago, when the famine began.

"How many horses were taken away in total?" Yuan Man asked.

"What was the name of the previous owner of the horse farm?"

Lu Rou looked at her in surprise again, "You don't know who your former boss was?"

Yuan Man shook his head. "I bought the horse farm from a dealer, so I don't know who the previous owner was."

I see. Lu Lu immediately said, "The previous owner's surname was Chang, and I think his name was Chang Zeyuan. He seemed to be from Kyoto, but I also heard that he was from Dongzhou. I don't know exactly where he was from, but he seldom came to the horse farm."

"I first met him two years ago, and he took away 4,020 horses from the stable."

More than four thousand horses!

The famine had just begun at that time. What were they going to do with so many horses?

The imperial court has a decree that horses and cattle cannot be killed for food at will. It is obvious that more than 4,000 horses were not meant to be eaten.

Yuanman took this matter into consideration and didn't think about it any more. Instead, he looked at the situation in the stable.

Although there are no horses in these stables, the routes are well maintained.

Yuan Man glanced at him and asked, "When did you take over the horse farm?"

"I started to take over the horse farm in May last year. My father was the previous manager of the horse farm. He has deep feelings for the horse farm. Now he is changing the fodder for the horses in the stable." Lu pointed to an old man with a hunched back.

"I want him to enjoy his old age, but no matter how much I try to persuade him, he refuses to do so and insists on coming here every day."
