They made the matter of horse stealing simple, thinking that they could exchange money by stealing the horses, but they did not expect that no one dared to buy their horses all the way, so they had to sell them in the market with ostentation.
"It's a thief!" Jin Yao looked at the change in the horse dealer's expression and guessed the origin of this bloody horse. As Dawan's national horse, it was naturally guarded by Dawan. He could get it out, but he couldn't find it.
Those who do not have access to sales channels are the grooms responsible for raising horses.
So Jin Yao is not in a hurry, the other party will definitely agree, then take the money and run away, throwing away this hot potato.
The horse dealer looked at Jin Yao and then at Taoyao, then asked Taoyao to explain, then turned and left temporarily.
"He said he couldn't decide, so he wanted to discuss it and let us wait for him here!" Taoyao explained.
Jin Yao also guessed that this would be the case, but he shook his head. If Dawan really had a pursuer, then the other party's behavior would be tantamount to 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 place." The latecomer said.
Listening to Tao Yao's translation, Jin Yao directly opened the cloth bag, took out the stolen money stolen from the thieves' den, weighed it, and handed it to the other party after confirming that it was a hundred gold.
The horse dealers also looked at the gold in Jin Yao's hand with ardent eyes, took it carefully, and then took out a small scale and weighed it. One hundred gold was exactly the same.
The two horse dealers and Tao Yao both looked at Jin Yao in surprise. He could actually weigh it accurately with his bare hands. It was very difficult to achieve without the experience accumulated over many years. So who is the other person?
?
"If you want to survive, I have a suggestion. You can go east. There is a huge country over there, and Dawan cannot affect it there!" Jin Yao reminded.
The horse dealers looked at Jin Yao but didn't pay attention. They carefully hid the gold in their arms and then disappeared into the crowd.
"The kid was walking through the bustling market with gold, and he was suspected of it but didn't know it!" Looking at the disappearing figures of the two horse dealers, Jin Yao shook his head.
Maybe the nobles of the chariot masters don't dare to take the blood horse, but they will definitely pay attention to the movement of the blood horse. Therefore, they will know that they have completed the deal and go to kill the opponent. After all, a hundred gold is not a small amount, even in the Central Plains.
Some of the nobles do not have that much wealth, let alone car masters.
"You clearly know that Dawan will not let the sweat horse leave Dawan, why do you still spend money to buy it?" Taoyao finally asked her doubts, but before Jinyao wanted to buy it, she didn't want to stop it, maybe
Jin Yao probably has his own plans.
"Can Dawan still have a large army to cross over Wusun and Cheshi to chase me?" Jin Yao said with a smile.
Unless a large army is deployed, it will be difficult to intercept and kill him.
"There are seeds!" Jin Yao smiled. The sweat-blooded horse was an unexpected harvest for him. Later, Zhang Qiantong from the Western Regions used a golden horse to build a golden horse in exchange for the sweat-blooded horse but was rejected. Then the second time, the Han Dynasty threatened
Dawan sent a bloody horse.
Although Dawan agreed, he finally sent a large army to intercept and kill the Han envoys and recapture the sweat-blooded horses.
Therefore, Jin Yao never thought that he would be able to get a sweat horse, instead of being able to easily get a sweat horse now, or a mare.
"Seeds?" Taoyao was puzzled. She watched Jin Yao buying all kinds of seeds in front of the melon farmer's stall. She was also very confused. These things are very common. Why do they buy them? Does he still want to farm?
"Hami melon, cucumber, watermelon, pomegranate, pepper, garlic..." Jin Yao selected little by little, still rejecting some and accepting all that were not available. He also spent all his efforts for the Chinese dining table.
Jin Yao looked at the various strange things in the street market with no interest, but was interested in the common things, which made Taoyao even more puzzled.
He didn't even take a look at the eagles that were loved by princes and nobles. He took a look at the fire-proof cloths that came from Anxi, and he also glanced at the exquisite gold, silver and jade with disdain...
"What on earth is this?
Where is a man?" Taoyao looked at Jin Yao's back and became even more confused.
"That's..." Jin Yao suddenly looked at the white flowers that the vendors had placed at the door for viewing.
The green leaves are infinitely white, like clouds in the sky. They are similar in color and shape, but different from ordinary flowers.
This white flower is like silk, wrapped in white silk. It is like a cocoon growing on a tree, but it is softer and more elastic.
A flower has four or five petals and is full of branches. It can be seen that the owner attaches great importance and preference to it and takes such good care of it.
Jin Yao's mouth was dry. This thing was much more useful than enriching the dining table. He also didn't remember that there was such a thing in the Western Regions for a while. Moreover, even Zhang Qian didn't bring this thing back to the Han Dynasty, or he didn't know if he brought it back to the Han Dynasty.
What's the use? It's just an ornamental species in Shanglin Garden.
"Do you know this Mumianhua?" Taoyao breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little like a noble.
Jin Yao nodded, cotton, how could he not recognize it? It is an artifact to keep out the cold. Before Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to grow cotton, there was no word cotton next to the word "wood" in China. Some only had the word "cotton" next to the word "纟".
The key is that this thing has a large output and a very low production cost. It is a crop that can really be popularized throughout China.
The only flaw is that no one knows its use now, they just regard it as a wild flower and ornamental plant.
And this is also related to the fact that today's cotton has no mature cultivation and planting experience. Today's cotton is still very small, about the size of a fingernail, and it has not yet reached the size of an egg when cultivation experience is mature in future generations, so no one goes there.
Pay attention to.
But Jin Yao knew the value of cotton very well. Even though he didn't know much about how to cultivate this thing, there were Mohists and farmers in China, and they would have ways to cultivate cotton that was full of flowers.
As for how to extract cotton and weave it into cloth, that is to underestimate China. Even silk can be manipulated by China, which is enough to know how high China's technology tree is for this kind of thing.
"You don't need anything else, but you must take this thing back!" Jin Yao thought to himself, the rest is just to satisfy his appetite and enrich the dining table.
But cotton is different. Countless people freeze to death every year, especially the lower class people, who really rely on their righteousness to survive the winter.
Unless there are super grain-producing crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the biggest harvest of this trip to the Western Regions will be this cotton, even if it is a sweaty horse, it will be left behind.
