Handan City is huge. As the royal city of Zhao State, it is necessary for trade to flourish. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the vassal states often fought with each other, which briefly led to the prosperity of commerce. In the Warring States Period, it rose to a huge level. Caravans came and went.

Walking through the market, it is easy to see cattle and sheep in Zhaodi, and the prices are of course very cheap compared to Qichu.

And if you have an excellent horse, you might as well try your luck in the Kingdom of Zhao, and maybe you can sell it for a very good price. This is thanks to King Wuling of Zhao's horse riding and shooting in Hu clothes, which not only enhanced the military strength of the Zhao Kingdom,

At the same time, it also led to the prosperity of the horse market, thus promoting the cavalry, a terrifying arm, to enter the stage of history.

From then on, cavalry became an important part of the army, while chariots gradually withdrew from the stage of war. Of course, it was only gradually. In the early Han Dynasty, there were still chariot troops, and it was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that they finally declined.

A maroon-skinned BMW was led over, and the sound of its kicking was extremely pleasant.

Even if Cheng Zhiyuan didn't know how to recognize a horse, he could still tell that it was a BMW. With its fiery red appearance, it automatically matched the red rabbit and horse in his mind. As the saying goes, the red rabbit and the horse are the same as Lu Bu's... Oh no, I remembered it backwards.

Good horses all have rabbit heads, and horse heads have straight heads, rabbit heads, concave heads, wedge heads, half rabbit heads, etc.; an article in the "Xiangma Jing" says:

"When you get a rabbit and a fox, a bird and a fish, you get these four things, and there is no difference between them."

"I want the head and shoulders of a rabbit, the grass and ears of a fox, the eyes and neck of a bird, the fins and spine of a fish."

Therefore, using the term rabbit to describe a horse, a timid creature that runs away when the situation is bad, is not to belittle the war horse, but rather to say that a horse with a rabbit head is hard to find and is a good horse for thousands of miles.

"It is said that the Red Rabbit Horse is a Dawan horse breed. It looks quite similar. It cannot be that it was exchanged from Quanrong..."

When someone saw the horse, their eyes suddenly lit up, and then they started chatting with the person holding the horse. When the horse owner saw that there was business, he naturally greeted him with a smile. His clothes were a little embarrassed, and it could be seen that he probably didn't have much leftover at home.

Money, Cheng Zhiyuan is very interested in this horse, but he is also short of money. Last time he lost money and ate most of the golden beans for killing demons. He will buy the rest for the horse... This guy doesn't look like one.

Cheap goods.

The yellow snake hid softly in Cheng Zhiyuan's back, hiding in the vermilion robe. The money-loser has been quite sleepy recently. The last time he met the fire boy, this guy didn't react much, but for the emperor's token,

It would be difficult for a small demon to have much interest in it.

He forcefully took his eyes away from the good horse. In ancient times, this thing was no less than the famous brand cars of later generations. Of course, Cheng Zhiyuan didn't have much control over the car, but for the horse... Hey! The car doesn't howl.

It's called coquettishness, but horses can do it!

What's the point of playing games if you don't collect mounts... such as Red Rabbit, Yellow Claw Feidian, Jueying, Lu... and Emperor Mu's Eight Horses... By the way, I think of the Eight Horses.

, he didn’t know which horse it was that had pulled him here, but it was later robbed by everyone in the valley, but he still remembered that it was "Super Light".

The war horses in the Central Plains are thin, and good horses basically come from the Western Regions or the Hetao area. The war horses of Loufan, Linhu, and the Huns are all good. This is like talking about car models in later generations. When they say which one they are, they all oh oh oh.

Praise means the quality is guaranteed.

Just like if you said that this horse was obtained from King Zuoxian of the Huns, then this is a quality assurance manual. Of course, there is no after-sales service. You have to go to King Zuoxian in person to tell him not to be chopped up alive.

"Brother, do you want to buy a horse?"

There was a crisp sound from the side, and Cheng Zhiyuan came back to his senses. He suddenly realized that he had been staring at the maroon horse for too long, so a little girl walked up beside him without knowing it, holding a yellow pony.

The coat color is not pure, and there are some white lines inside.

This little guy lowered his head with a bored look on his face, which seemed unhealthy.

This kind of pony doesn't look particularly good, and it doesn't bark. It has low eyebrows and is a bit weak.

What's weird and weird is that this horse has a small sarcoma under its chin, which looks like it's sick.

"I see you have been eyeing that horse... That horse is expensive, but I am cheap..."

The little girl spoke very carefully, but she was still a little worried, her brows were furrowed, and the colt lowered its head, panting lightly.

The previous horse sellers and horse buyers all looked over. Because Cheng Zhiyuan had been staring at the bay-red horse before, they paid more or less attention to the situation here. At this time, the price was agreed upon, and they turned their attention to the horse buyer.

When he came and saw the pony, he immediately shook his head and said to the little girl:

"Your horse is too thin. It is young and weak. Without careful feeding, it has lost three points of its spirit. It is not a pure-colored horse. If you buy a horse like this, it will not be able to go to the battlefield and it will not be pulled.

A car might fall down even if you are riding it on the road, so why would anyone buy it?"

The horse buyer was not optimistic about the horse, and said to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Young man, you have to see clearly, this horse has become a waste, and there is no way to correct it. I have bought horses more than ten times, and even more

An old friend who knows a little about the art of horse-reading once told me that those who fall ill in childhood will never recover."

As he spoke, he pointed to the tumor under the horse's chin. The foal seemed a little timid and did not dare to resist, while the little girl was a little anxious and said to Cheng Zhiyuan: "Only, just half a reed..."

The monetary value of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was slightly confusing. Taking the pointed-footed cloth around the time of Qin Shihuang as an example, pointed-footed and partially round-footed cloths were generally the most expensive. The price of "Lu's" cloth was about 12,000 yuan, which was equivalent to later generations, while

The price of round-footed cloth such as "Li Shi" cloth is as high as RMB 22,000.

Half a reed is only about 6,000 yuan, but it is worth a lot of money when converted into gold. Of course, this era is different from the original Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The circulation of gold is far less despicable than before. You must know Shang Yang's reforms

Later in the Qin Dynasty, one gram of gold would only buy twenty-four kilograms of rice.

Jingan gold is much more expensive than normal gold.

The price of 6,000 yuan for Little Pony is not a scam. In this era, it is even sold at a low price. And according to the little girl's tone, she may feel that the price is too high. In other words, this can still be lowered by at least three

Four thousand yuan.

"Or, you can use...ten pounds of grain, three sheep..."

She added something, which obviously lowered the price. The horse buyer laughed: "According to the value of this horse, twenty-five dollars can't be more. If you go back, you can only kill the meat. What's the use?"

?”

Both knife coins and cloth coins were used in Zhao State. Of course, there are more cloth coins now and they are more valuable.

Twenty-five dollars is definitely a cheap price compared to a horse.

The little girl suddenly became anxious:

"It...it's not picky about food and will eat anything."

The horse buyer interrupted again: "You can eat everything, like a donkey? Tsk!"

The little girl's face suddenly turned red: "You...why are you like this? I..."

She lowered her head and said nothing. She was so humiliated. She had no way to sell it here anymore. Girls are always thin-skinned. Girls who sell horses are different from shepherd girls. She sold this pony.

It's been several days, and everyone who has seen it says it doesn't work.

It is true that the animals you buy are for work, not as mascots.

Watching the little girl leave, Cheng Zhiyuan didn't have time to take a closer look, but after thinking about it, the horse was indeed not a good one. He just always felt that the horse had a sarcoma under its chin. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

, so he turned around, the scarlet robe turned around, and he passed by a person. Cheng Zhiyuan did not react, but the person suddenly turned his head, looking at Cheng Zhiyuan's back with shining eyes, aiming at the red robe.

There seemed to be people from aristocratic families shouting something on the road in the distance. It seemed that the noise was a bit loud. Cheng Zhiyuan was not in the mood to watch the excitement. He took out a small note from his pocket and followed the instructions given by Mr. Ou at that time, and followed the instructions of Handan City.
