Chapter 272 An unexpected discovery
Make up for the update I owe last night!
They thought the matter of stealing horses was simple, thinking that they could exchange money by just stealing the horses, but they didn't expect that no one dared to buy their horses along the way, which forced them to scatter and sell them.
"The guards steal!" Jin Yao looked at the change in his expression of the horse dealer and guessed the origin of this bloody horse. As the national horse of Dayuan, it was naturally guarded by Dayuan. The only ones who could get it out but could not find a sales channel were the only grooms responsible for raising horses.
So Jin Yao was not in a hurry. The other party would agree, and then ran away with the money and threw out the hot potato.
The horse dealer looked at Jin Yao, looked at Tao Yao again, and then asked Tao Yao to retell it for a while, then turned around and left temporarily.
"He said he couldn't make a decision, so he had to discuss it and let us wait for him here!" Tao Yao explained.
Jin Yao also guessed that this would be the case, but he shook his head even more. If there were really followers from Dayuan, then the other party's behavior would be like attracting a wolf into the house.
Soon, the horse dealer brought back a man who looked similar to him but was older.
"One hundred gold is one hundred gold. We want cash, and we won't help you deliver the horse to the designated location." The latecomer said.
Listening to Tao Yao's translation, Jin Yao directly untied the cloth bag, took out the stolen money snatched from Xiangma Nu, weighed it, and confirmed that it was 100 gold and handed it to the other party.
The horse dealers also looked at the gold in Jin Yao's hand with a fiery look, took it carefully, and then took out a small scale to weigh it. One hundred gold was not bad at all.
The two horse dealers and Tao Yao looked at Jin Yao in surprise. They could accurately weigh the weight with bare hands. It was not difficult to achieve this. This was not a long time experience accumulated over the years, so who was the other party?
"If you want to survive, I have a suggestion. You can go east. There is a huge country over there, and Dayuan cannot affect it!" Jin Yao reminded.
The horse dealers looked at Jin Yao, but didn't care. They carefully hid the gold in their arms, and then got into the crowd and disappeared.
"The child has passed through the downtown market with gold, but he is suspected but does not know!" Looking at the disappearing backs of the two horse dealers, Jin Yao shook his head.
Perhaps the nobles of Cheshi dare not take the bloody horse, but they will definitely pay attention to the trends of the bloody horse. Therefore, they will know that they have completed the transaction and surround each other. After all, a hundred gold coins are not a small amount. Even some nobles in the Central Plains do not have so many property, let alone Cheshi.
"You know that Dayuan will not let the sweaty horse leave Dayuan, why do you have to pay for it?" Tao Yao finally asked her doubts, but Jin Yao wanted to buy it before, so she didn't want to stop it. Maybe Jin Yao had his own plans.
"Can Dayuan still cross Wusun and Cheshi come to chase me?" Jin Yao said with a smile.
Unless a large army is dispatched, it will be difficult to intercept him.
"There are still seeds!" Jin Yao smiled. The sweat-blooded horse was an unexpected harvest for him. Later, Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions with a golden horse made by a daughter in exchange for sweat-blooded horse, but was rejected. Then, the second time, the Han Dynasty threatened Dayuan to send sweat-blooded horses.
Although Dayuan agreed, he finally sent a large army to intercept the Han envoy and regain the bloody horse.
Therefore, Jin Yao never thought of getting a sweat-blooded horse, rather than being able to easily get a sweat-blooded horse or a mare like this now.
"Seeds?" Tao Yao was puzzled and looked at Jin Yao buying all kinds of seeds in front of melon farmers and vendors. He was also very confused. These things are very ordinary. Why should I buy them? Does he still have to farm?
"Hami melon, cucumber, watermelon, pomegranate, pepper, garlic..." Jin Yao still chose a little bit, but he still wanted some, and he wanted everything he didn't have. He also tried his best to make the Chinese dining table.
Looking at the various strange things on the market of vendors, Jin Yao was not interested in them, but was interested in those ordinary visible things, which made Tao Yao even more puzzled.
The eagle withered that both princes and nobles liked, and he didn't even look at it. He just glanced at the fire cloths that came from rest. He also glanced at the exquisite gold, silver and jade artifacts...
"What the hell is this
Where is a man?" Tao Yao looked at Jin Yao's back and became even more confused.
"That's..." Jin Yao suddenly looked at the white flowers placed at the door by the vendors as being viewed.
The green leaves are infinitely white and clean, and the clouds entering the sky are like so similar in color and shape, but different from ordinary flowers.
The white flowers are like silk, and are made of white silk, like cocoons growing on trees, but they are softer and more elastic.
A flower is divided into four or five petals, and it is full of branches. It can be seen that the owner attaches great importance to it and prefers it so well.
Jin Yao's mouth was dry, and this thing was much more useful than a rich dining table. He didn't remember that there was this thing in the Western Regions for a while. Even Zhang Qian did not bring this thing back to the Han Dynasty, or he didn't know what it was for when he took it back, but he just treated it as an ornamental species in Shanglin Garden.
"Do you know this Mu Mianhua?" Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a bit of aristocratic hobby.
Jin Yao nodded, how could he not recognize cotton? It was a magical tool for keeping cold. Before Zhu Yuanzhang forced cotton planting, Huaxia did not have cotton characters next to the word "Mu", but only cotton characters next to the word "Si".
The key is that the output of this thing is large, but the production cost is very low, which is truly a crop that can popularize the entire China.
The only flaw is that no one knows its use nowadays, but treats it as a wild flower and an ornamental plant.
This is also related to the fact that cotton has no mature cultivation and cultivation experience today. The cotton is still very small, the size of a fingernail, and it is not yet the cultivation experience of later generations that can be the size of an egg when it is mature, so no one pays attention to it.
But Jin Yao knew the value of cotton very well, and even if he didn't know how to cultivate this thing, there were Mohist families and farmers in China, so they would have a way to cultivate that kind of cotton with flowers.
As for how to propose cotton and weave it into cloth, it is to underestimate China. Even silk can be played with by China, which is enough to know how high the technological tree point of China is for such things.
"You can do nothing else, but you must take this thing back!" Jin Yao thought to himself, the rest was to satisfy his desire to enrich the dining table.
But cotton is different. Countless people will freeze to death every year, especially when winter comes, the lower class people really rely on their integrity to overcome it.
