Chapter 62 Buying a Horse

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Why don't we choose today?" Jin Renwen said with a smile: "Go to the horse market over there in the West Market and pick a good horse for you. For us warriors, a good horse can be used as half a horse.

Save your life!"

"Then I will be disrespectful!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile. After playing the polo match this time, he had a deep understanding of the "horse storage capacity" of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, there was no shortage of horses in Baekje, but the war horses

The quality is still not comparable to that of Chang'an, but the local climate is actually quite suitable for the breeding of good horses, especially Jeju Island, which is a famous horse breeding base in later generations. If you can choose a few good stallions here, in

Wouldn’t it be a good thing to build a good horse racing farm in Jeju Island?

"That's fine!" Jin Renwen smiled and said, "It's still too early now. Let's have a couple of drinks first and then go see the horses later!"

————————————————————————

West Market, Horse Market.

"So this is what this guy said about shopping and buying horses!" Wang Wenzuo looked at the dozens of horses listed in front of him and the horse dealers kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but secretly lament the arrogance and extravagance of the ancient nobles. He

I originally thought that Jin Renwen was talking about buying horses when the two of them walked along the West Market. Each horse dealer asked him to take out the good horses for him to choose, and then they bargained for a discount and gave him some saddles or something.

It was the same as going to the 4S shop to buy a car before traveling. In fact, before the two of them arrived at the gate of the West Market, the officials on duty had already welcomed them to the official office, and then more than a dozen horse dealers came in first to kowtow, and then

Pull out your best horse for you to choose. If you show a satisfied look, someone will take the horse aside. After viewing one horse dealer, you will obediently retreat, and the next one will bring the horse in without bargaining or giving.

Money pays bills. It's not like buying a horse, but like paying tribute.

"Sanlang, what do you think of this green horse?" Jin Renwen asked with a smile: "Although it is not as good as Li Jingye's chrysanthemum green horse, it is still a very good horse, at least much better than the one you are riding now!"

"Oh, let me try riding it!" Wang Wenzuo jumped on the horse and ran back and forth twice. Sure enough, the horse ran smoothly. He could hardly feel the ups and downs while riding on it. He lifted the reins slightly and tilted his body.

The horse can understand the owner's wishes. Although the horse power cannot be compared with Li Jingye's horse, it may be more appropriate for Wang Wenzuo. After all, his current official position no longer requires him to personally charge into battle.

"It is indeed a good horse, but it is a pity!" Wang Wenzuo jumped off the horse, looked up and down and sighed.

"What a pity? What's the pity? I think this horse is quite good!" Jin Ren asked.

"This is a mare. I want to buy a few stallions. When I return to Baekje, I will be a stallion and build a horse farm!"

"I see, it's quite simple. Then choose this one!" Jin Renwen said with a smile: "If you want to be a stallion, it doesn't matter if you are older. Come on, please ask the horse dealer to send one to each family.

A stallion with good characteristics comes to my house."

"Yes, Mr. Lang!" the slave replied.

Seeing Jin Renwen turning around and about to go out, Wang Wenzuo hurriedly said: "Brother Renshou, the price of this horse has not been negotiated yet!"

"The price of the horse?" Jin Renwen was stunned, as if he had heard a fairy tale, and laughed. Before he could explain, the servant on the side laughed and said: "Wang Sima, my husband is such a noble man, how can he be like a common man in the market?

Do ordinary people usually bargain with others? It’s all the horse dealers who say it’s as much as they say!”… “It’s as much as they say?”

"That's right!" There was a look of pride on the slave's face: "Not to mention the fiefdoms of Silla, my husband also had two thousand households in the Tang Dynasty. How could he do something that is degrading to himself!"

"That's all!" Jin Renwen dismissed the slaves and said with a smile: "You and I will go around the West Market to see if there are any interesting objects!"

"This is the so-called top nobility!" Wang Wenzuo sighed secretly. What was the level of the two thousand households that Jin Ren asked about at that time? Changsun Wuji ranked first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he was still Emperor Taizong.

His eldest brother-in-law, he also had the dual status of a distinguished relative. After the Xuanwumen Incident, he was granted the title of Duke of Qi, with a settlement of 1,300 households. Yuchi Jingde also had 1,300 households. Princess Taiping was Wu Zetian's favorite daughter.

Therefore, she was granted an unusual title of 1,200 households, and later it was gradually increased to 3,000 households. In the Shenlong Coup, Princess Taiping made great contributions, and the number was increased to 5,000 households. Obviously, regardless of merit or closeness, Jin Renwen could not do it.

Compared with the ones above, why can he have a settlement of two thousand households?

This starts with his origin. The Tang Dynasty was a society with a strong aristocratic style, and the so-called aristocratic style means that one’s birth determines the power of the official title. Jin Renwen was the biological son of the King of Silla and came to serve as a bodyguard for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

, then the official and noble treatment given to him by the Tang Dynasty cannot be lower than the official and noble treatment he could get in the Silla Kingdom. Therefore, Jin Renwen's treatment in the Tang Dynasty is actually compared to that of the Yuanzhi clan.

What he enjoys in Silla is less (after all, he is qualified to inherit the throne, and his brother must compensate for this.) Therefore, compared to the same third-grade official, Jin Inwen's family wealth is far higher than that of other officials.

After all, most of the third-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty did not have a biological father who was the king. They were handsome, versatile, noble, and had plenty of money in their pockets. As soon as they became officials, they were high-ranking officials of the third rank, and they had great influence on the Tang Dynasty.

Who doesn’t like this kind of person with high united front value?

The two walked around the West Market, and Wang Wenzuo took a fancy to everything. The slave behind him stepped forward and handed the shopkeeper a famous assassin, asking him to send it to Jin Mansion later. Wang Wenzuo was a little uncomfortable at first.

This is a special way of shopping, but I soon became accustomed to it, and it seems that it has always been like this.

About an hour later, the two of them arrived at the other end of the West Market. The servant stepped forward and said, "Two gentlemen, this is the end here. Let's go back!"

Jin Renwen nodded and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard a huge noise coming from outside the square wall. People were walking towards the city gate not far away. He frowned and said, "Go and ask what's going on outside."

Something happened?"

The slave responded and came back after a while: "Reporting to Sir, it's a cockfight. Everyone comes to watch!"

"Cockfighting?" Jin Renwen laughed: "Come on, Sanlang, let's go take a look. This thing is very interesting!"

Wang Wenzuo shrugged his shoulders and followed the enthusiastic Jin Renwen out of the west gate of the West Market. As soon as he walked out of the west gate, he saw a flood of people walking westward along the street. Wang Wenzuo saw himself appearing on both sides.

Various vehicles, as well as poor men on foot carrying bulging bags. From the constant crow of chickens in the bags, Wang Wenzuo knew that they should contain straw and fighting cocks, and many vehicles carried some chicken coops. He began

I wonder if all the fighting cocks outside Chang'an City are here.
