"Hey! Are you kidding me? You're selling me an ox for just one egg?!"

At the Lubei Market, Zhang Fei pointed at the vendor with a half-eaten cucumber in his hand, and said to the vendor selling ostrich eggs with anger on his face.

Ostrich eggs are quite big and strange. But now everyone knows that they are just the eggs of a giant chicken, and the price of eight thousand yuan is too dark.

Liu Bei went to Pingyuan. There were many things related to people's livelihood in Luoyang South City, and there were some strange things in Lubei County.

Zhang Fei accompanied Jian Yong to Luoyang to look for caravans to buy grain and grass. He originally wanted to see if he could find Liu Cang to catch the autumn wind. However, he couldn't find Liu Cang for a while, so he stopped by the Lubei market for a stroll.

"Hey, general, don't underestimate this egg. Let me tell you, if an ostrich hatches out, it will not only produce meat and eggs, but it can also run with a strong man on its back. I'm afraid it can form a cavalry.

"

"These chickens lay eggs, and the eggs lay chickens. Get a few of them, and they will form a flock after a few years. They are no worse than cattle." The vendor introduced to Zhang Fei enthusiastically.

"Stop talking nonsense to me. According to what you said, chickens can be sold for the same price as pigs and sheep." Zhang Fei pouted, while Jian Yong carefully picked up an ostrich egg, weighed it, and carefully put it back on the grass.

Mat on the stall.

"How can it be the same? An ostrich can grow one to two hundred pounds a year, and with our Lubei feed, it is easy to feed. How can it be compared to pigs and sheep?" The vendor shook his head repeatedly.

"Ostriches lay eggs quickly, but they can't be hatched here. They only sell for thirty yuan. Look, one egg is enough for one person to eat."

"If His Highness hadn't wanted to introduce ostriches to the Han Dynasty, we wouldn't be willing to sell them." The vendor pointed to the larger number of ostrich eggs on the other side of the stall and said.

"Can you gain two hundred pounds in one year?" Zhang Fei questioned, while Jian Yong rubbed his chin and thought about it.

"How can I lie to you? If you have never seen an ostrich, you can go to Beiyou Village and have a look. Our Highness traded a pair of chicks with the Yizhou Shepherd for an elephant." The merchant raised his head and said.

"Da Jue Han is rare, but since you have domesticated them, the price is a bit high. Are there any chicks for sale?" Jian Yong seemed to be more interested in ostriches and wanted to bargain with the merchant, while Da Jue said

It is the original Chinese name for ostrich.

"That's not possible. Our government office has given us an estimate. If you think it's too expensive, we should be able to reduce the price a lot in five years. In fact, we mainly sell eggs that cannot be hatched." The vendor shook his head and spoke straightforwardly, making Jian Yong frown.

Jump.

"As a merchant, if you don't want to sell nobles, why do you need to bring out bird eggs to appetize people? I think you are a rare commodity. Aren't you afraid that King Dongping will punish you?" came an unhappy rebuke from behind Jian Yong.

"Oh, Tian Yuanhao has become more and more powerful since he joined Yuan Shao's command?" Jian Yong looked over and saw a vegetable vendor next to the stall selling ostrich eggs, mocking the person who spoke.

"Bold!" the guard scolded, but the man named Tian Yuanhao raised his hand to stop him. Tian Yuanhao frowned and looked at the vegetable vendor who was missing a forearm, and his expression became complicated for a moment.

"Are you from the Jizhou Army?" Tian Yuanhao asked the vegetable vendor.

"Haha, this villain was originally a soldier recruited by Hanzhou Mu. Can Mr. Yuan Hao still be used in important positions under the Yuan family?" the vegetable vendor said to Tian Yuanhao with a scornful smile on his lips.

Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao. He and Jian Yong had met before, and they wanted to greet each other, but Jian Yong saw that the vegetable vendor was constantly communicating with Tian Feng, so he nodded to Tian Feng with a complicated expression from a distance as a greeting.

Tian Feng was accompanied by four armed guards. Seeing the disabled vegetable vendor's constant provocation, several of them raised their hands to hold their swords, but were stopped by Tian Feng again.

"Why don't you go home?" Tian Feng looked at the vegetable vendor seriously and asked with concern. The vegetable vendor was slightly stunned, but the sarcastic expression on his face gradually faded away.

"I want to return home after recovering from my injuries. My home is occupied by the Yuan family's children. It's rare that King Dongping takes him in. Why do I go back?" the vegetable vendor said. Tian Feng's face changed slightly, and the guards behind him showed angry expressions.

"Ahem, everyone, our Lubei market prohibits private fighting. If you have any questions, please ask the market officials for comment." The egg seller coughed dryly. As he spoke, he pulled out a stainless steel sword from under the stall and placed the sword with the sheath next to the ostrich eggs. Zhang Fei was really shocked when he saw it.

"Huang Yong, there's no need for you to be meddlesome. Don't break military rules." The vegetable vendor, who looked fearless at first, glanced at the egg vendor, but instead showed a slightly uneasy look. When he said this to the vendor named Huang Yong, the relationship between the people in the venue Somewhat confusing.

Tian Feng scolded him, which finally calmed down the few accompanying guards. The vegetable vendor was originally from the Jizhou Army, but Dong was disabled and was pulled back by the Tianlu Camp.

However, Tian Feng was an official in Jizhou. He was originally under Han Fu and was quite famous in Jizhou.

However, Han Fu was forced to death by Yuan Shao, and Tian Feng and some Jizhou officials joined Yuan Shao's command. Everything in Jizhou became an uproar, and only then did he attract the ridicule of the vegetable vendors.

It can be said that Tian Feng and Ju Shou under Yuan Shao were extremely talented people. However, although Yuan Shao placed them in high positions in later generations, he basically never listened to their strategies and plans.

It is a bit biased to say that Yuan Shao was 250 years old. Perhaps he wanted fame but also had a guilty conscience. This Tian Feng, Ju Shou Yi Qian, was actually Han Fu's team.

"Your Highness has said that he found these rare things just to help us build a family. Do you think that anyone can raise an ostrich? Huang Yong is a general in the Hussars' Mansion. He comes to sell the eggs after he returns home from rest."

"His Highness took us in, but he got a lot of money. After the ostrich eggs are sold, most of the money will go to the Valley of Evil. Huang Yong is lazy, but I can't see that you and others are innocent."

Afraid that Huang Yong would make a move, he stopped entangled with Tian Feng, the vegetable vendor said to Tian Feng and Jian Yong.

"Haha, our lord has said that it is a rare place to live, and the behavior is bad, but we only live there for five years, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

The vegetable vendor explained clearly, and everyone looked at Huang Yong with disdain, but Huang Yong grinned, with a hint of Liu Cang's tone in his words, with an attitude of loving it.

Tian Feng and Jian Yong were speechless for a while, while Zhang Fei rolled his eyes. They made it clear that they thought they were doing bad things, and ostriches will be cheap in five years. If they are too expensive, they can just start breeding them five years later.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, how many people are not willing to wait for these five years? Judging from Tian Feng and Jian Yong who came to the market on behalf of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, there is no need to think about it.

Very clear too.

Huang Yong bought eggs but did not have the authority to sell chicks. Jian Yong argued with Huang Yong mainly because he wanted to know the lowest price of ostriches.

Jian Yong didn't mind the shamelessness of asking Liu Cang to seduce this kind of livestock that produced high amounts of eggs and meat and could be raised in captivity, but if the price was too high, he would feel a little guilty.

After some inquiries, it turned out that the high price sold by others was mainly used to compensate for the disability, including Tian Feng, who was also interested in ostriches. Obviously, it was difficult to talk to Huang Yong about the habitability of rare goods.

The market was crowded with people and traffic. Tian Feng and Jian Yong actually saw someone using an ostrich to pull a cart. The ostrich, which was nearly two meters tall and had thick thighs, amazed Zhang Fei. When asked about the difficulty of breeding, Tian Feng was also surprised.

, Jian Yong is even more interested in this animal.

Jian Yong was relatively poor, so he counted on his fingers, and sure enough, if he wanted to build a breeding scale in a short period of time, he still needed to find Liu Cang to help him.

Tian Feng was more generous. Seeing that Huang Yong didn't care whether he bought it or not, Tian Feng threw two horses and collected all five ostrich eggs that could hatch from Huang Yong's stall.

I wanted to pack the courgettes and tomatoes sold by Wancai, but the vegetable vendor waved his hand: "Tian Yuanhao can just help himself if he wants."

Tian Feng smiled bitterly, not wanting to offend the vegetable vendor's pride, and asked if he could collect grain and vegetable seeds. The vegetable vendor pointed out that he needed to go to the Dianjia store in the city to buy them.

The bulk sales of grain and vegetables were distributed by Liu Cang to Dian Wei, and Tian Feng, Jian Yong, and Zhang Fei went to look for Dian's shop together.

Away from the market, lush cornfields obscured the view, the colorful crops in the vegetable fields made people happy, and the keel waterwheels running through the fields brought out a peaceful rhythm as they turned.

Giant dogs drove livestock trying to get closer to the farmland, and green cattle reclaimed the wasteland.

The elephants carried people and goods with leisurely and heavy steps.

The urchin chasing Bai Zhi attracted exclamations from the women and scoldings from the men.

The huge tortoise hesitated and shrank while shouting.

Tian Feng was amazed by the coconut trees that can only survive in the tropics planted near the waterway. It is said that because Liu Cang liked to drink coconut water, the people of Lubei took special care of these coconut trees.

Compared with Luoyang, where merchants from all over the world gather, it lacks some splendor, but the scenery of the small town in Lubei can still see some novel things integrated into folk life from time to time.

Nowadays, the feudal lords are just beginning to establish themselves, but the good seeds from Luoyang are also beginning to spread to all directions.

The princes wanted to fight, but various places were much more active in farming and raising livestock than usual.

War represents destruction, but it also catalyzes all kinds of rapid advancement of mankind.

It may seem contradictory, but human beings themselves also represent contradictions.
