"Okay, it's changed, but my lord, this batch of tea leaves of yours seems to be very small, but the amount is very sufficient, I can't take out so many equivalent cowhides here for the time being, don't you want cows, what about horses?" The chief said again.

In fact, even if these cowhide tendons are changed to the present, they have far exceeded the normal profits. How many horses can you take along with you?

"Ahem......"

When it came to this, the Western Xia officials were a little embarrassed, because according to the laws of the Western Xia, it was necessary to protect the city with the Song State, but it was strictly forbidden to supply the Song State War Horses, and there was no doubt that the horses in the hands of these herdsmen would be good war horses in the Song State.

Wang Yan was not greedy, got up and said with a smile: "In this case, I have accepted the five foals I just saw outside the account, how about reaching this deal." ”

"Okay, the cheerfulness of adults is rare, I hope I can often trade with people like adults in the future, it will be my tribal clothes." The chief felt that he had made a lot of money this time.

The Western Xia officials didn't say anything here, although there were irregularities in trading horses, but the horses outside the tent were not very good, and they were only one-year-old foals, and according to his status as a diplomat, no one would say anything about this kind of foal, which was five times larger.

The reason why I wanted the ponies I just met was because of their hardy properties.

The one-year-old ponies, who were more energetic than the other horses in the weather at this time, and it was obvious that they were smaller than usual, so they were regarded by the herders as not very good horses and left out of the tent. But Da Yan suspects that these are the earliest Mongolian horse breeds.

This phenomenon is something that can easily happen in the natural world.

For example, when a grassland storm comes, the sheep in the sheepfold will panic. The shepherds hid in their tents and did not care for the sheep. The panicked sheep tried to jump out of the sheepfold, and the long-legged ones jumped out and ran in the storm. The sheep left behind after the storm will become sheep characterized by short legs and calmness, and if they continue to breed, the population of "short-legged sheep that is not panicked and conducive to growth" will be officially born. Otherwise, the restless long-legged sheep will not leave, and the bloodlines will not be mixed.

Before the systematic nomadic technology, nature evolved in this way, and populations with various characteristics were produced under the rules of natural selection.

Then the Mongolian horse is a population that appeared to adapt to the extreme environment of Mobei. Before the real population is finalized and matured, it will also be like sheep in a storm, and some of the horses in the Mongolian herd feel that they cannot bear the environment and flee, so they start a long march all the way south.

In view of the fact that they were born in the Mongolian environment, even if their bloodline is not pure and they have become "deserters" in the bitter cold, after all, they have that bloodline, and their ability to resist cold is much stronger than that of ordinary populations. In the process of southward migration, many horses in the herd will die of "water and soil adaptation", but the few who survived, in addition to carrying Mongolian horse blood, indicate that their genes also have mysterious bonuses to adapt to different water and soil.

Therefore, only for the Great Song Dynasty, this "deserter horse" is better than the purebred Mongolian horse.

The "water and soil resistance" and "cold and disease resistance" of these horses can be purified by repeated generations of direct crossing. When the two lines of different purebred are purified, and then crosscrossed, then there will be no more crooked melons and cracked dates, it will be like an industrial product, and casual mating will be the best mixed breed war horse, not the top horse on the racetrack, but the specifications will be very neat, all are easy to use.

The five foals that Wang Yan asked for on the spot, their father or mother must have been "deserters" from Mobei, who accidentally joined the tribe's herd. So the foals were not the right size and were not welcomed, and the other horses were in tents with people, but they were tied out of the tent as "mongrel slaves" among the horses. But it just reflects the essence of not being afraid of the cold, and is favored by Dayan.

The conscience of the industry!

This grand and cost-effective deal was completed, and when Wang Yan's tribe left, the whole tribe began to beat gongs and drums, and came out to see off Wang Yan and his party in the heavy snow, and they enthusiastically looked forward to Wang Yan's next return and a long life, because trading with him was too cost-effective, and the usual transaction did not seem to be very cost-effective......

Although the efficiency of the march was already very high, it was still January of the following year, and Xingqing Mansion had already put up lights and prepared for the Shangyuan Festival.

Shangyuan Festival is a major festival of the Han family, but in view of the fact that the Western Xia has been sinicized to a certain extent during this period, the number of Han people is not small and most of them are important figures, so it is not as heavy as Bianjing, but there is still this festival.

The outskirts of Xingqing Mansion are full of military camps, where gorgeous guards are stationed.

Unlike the Han family, even if it is covered with heavy snow, it can be seen that there is no farmland around Xingqing Mansion, but there are several large pastures.

Earlier, it was not counted as entering the customs, but there was an attaché from the Western Xia Rite Department who followed.

And now it's the entry.

Although Wang Yan is a sesame official, it is awesome to take a "diplomatic passport", you can take a special passage, bypass the most crowded south gate, and at the northwest gate, all kinds of merchants and herdsmen waiting to enter the city are on the side, even if it is the kind of forage and horse herding teams of a military nature, let Wang Yan's team enter the customs first.

The senior general of the Western Xia Guard Army personally checked the diplomatic credentials held by Wang Yan and his party in detail at the customs and defense office, and completed the formalities after checking their identities according to them.

As for the foals, the guards general didn't bother to ask. Asking is also a futile annoyance, and it can't be confiscated, although the specifications of the people this time are low, but they were invited by the Queen Mother. provoked them to be unhappy and turned back, insignificant to the Western Xia regime, but there will definitely be someone responsible to blame for it, that's for sure. This is also the rule of self-importance.

At this time, there was no tense atmosphere, and Wang Yan's department officially entered the city.

There were many cavalry on a rampage in the market, both the Guards and the Iron Harriers, and the two lines were clearly on the wrong side now. Therefore, after encountering the Song State Musket Battalion with procedures, on the contrary, he was heartless and polite. They have experienced a lot of ruthlessness and bloodshed, and the people of the Song Kingdom have never been a group to be afraid of, so they don't care much.

Han Qi is still very cold, given that Wang Yan is a child and his specifications are too low, except for Li Ling, a Western Xia bureaucrat who has been with him from beginning to end, I don't see any special people to greet him. Li Ling led the envoy group to the post house first.

"As for whether you will go to the Hajj for the Hajj or whether there are any public activities, I haven't said anything about it for the time being, and I don't know what to do, so wait patiently for the notice. During this period, you and your people can move freely, but try not to cause trouble, now my internal situation is complicated, this is not the Song Kingdom, the ability of the diplomatic mouth is limited, it is really a mess, it is difficult for my Ministry of Etiquette to help you deal with it. ”

After explaining so much in front of the post house, Li Ling slipped away, not busy with the errand, but he bought a new group of singers, a few of whom are good and have big milk, waiting to go back, this month has been really bitter, and he is about to hold back his internal injuries.

The condition of the post house is not good but it is not bad, there should be people, wine, and meat. In this freezing season, the people outside are in dire straits, but the inn also provides enough hot water and wooden barrels.

More than 30 days of marching under bitter cold conditions was enough, and the big goose hurriedly summoned a hot water barrel bath to cool off. Then I made a big bowl of cake and tea, and after drinking it, my spirit was shocked, and the fatigue of the road was basically gone.

Leaving Zhanzhao in the post house to take care of his subordinates, Wang Yan, who couldn't sit still, brought Aunt Mu Guiying to sneak out for sightseeing.

The buildings of Xingqing Mansion are still very magnificent and special, mostly in the style of the Tang Dynasty. Even the folk customs and costumes are somewhat close, and the women's appearance and openness greatly exceed those of the ordinary cities of the Song Dynasty.

Xixia is very poor, but because of this, rich people will be richer, in this outside "the road has frozen bones" season, Xingqing Mansion is lively, all kinds of shops display luxury goods produced in the Song Kingdom of Tokyo, and the door is like a market, all kinds of noblewomen and rich sons are crowded to see, especially when new products are on the market.

Wang Yan was also curious, so he went to some shops to take a look, and he was very emotional. There is no doubt that in this place, the eyes of the Tangut people in Tokyo are similar to the eyes of the Chinese people in the 90s when they saw "Made in Germany", and the setting is more YY than Nai.

Even if it is a crutch used by an ordinary old lady, these Qiu Hachi are also very superstitious about "Made in Tokyo". Just because the handicraft is more delicate and the texture carving is more elegant, such a useless thing can be more than ten times more expensive than the local production of Xingqing Mansion.

There are people everywhere who speak Chinese. In particular, the local party members like to speak a few local dialects with a sentence of Chinese, as if it is popular. The pattern is similar to that of the early Hong Kong people in later generations, who liked to carry two sentences in English.

These are the charms of culture.

Unlike the wild herdsmen, the Tangut people in the city were quite hostile to the Song Kingdom, but they were also crazy to buy Song products.

The world is so strange, let alone them. In the 90s, Da Yan always listened to his uncle scolding the Japanese, watching TV and watching soap operas with hand-torn devils, but when he walked into the mall to buy a TV with Da Yan, he stared at Japanese brands, and then he was able to save money and save money, and bought a "Sony" with nearly two years' salary to go home to pretend to be forced, and invited his relatives and friends to come to watch, and his relatives and friends watched the plot of tearing up the little devil while commenting and saying, "Look at the industrial design, this workmanship, this color, and this quality of the Japanese".

The world is as black as a crow, and most human beings are virtuous. For example, on the eve of World War II, the industrial capacity and national strength of the Thief Eagle can beat the empire of fifteen empires, but their domestic pill party is not necessarily less than elsewhere, and there are many people who look down on American manufacturing and worship British manufacturing.

Even though these pill parties later won World War II, the strategic bomber group almost sank Tokyo, their aircraft carrier group buried the Japanese Navy, and finally won the Cold War, but later the beautiful pill party still made a mistake, and it was not ordinary madness to buy Japanese manufacturing, and almost buried their own manufacturing industry.

So there is no surprise, what kind of urine will the people of later generations, the current Tangut people will only be more extreme, and it is impossible to be more rational.

In this way, Da Yan and Mu Guiying listened to their hostility to Song Guo while watching the "new product launch conference" of this large business.

The things on display are very familiar, but unfortunately they are not made in the Bianjing Coal Yard. Because in fact, there were a lot of pill parties in the Song Kingdom, and the things made in the Dayun Coal Yard were actually not considered Seiko, and they were synonymous with shoddy cottages like the American manufacturing in the 50s, the Japanese manufacturing in the 70s, the Taiwan 1 Bay manufacturing in the 80s, and the mainland manufacturing in the 90s. Only one feature is that it is cheap and usable.

In view of this, in the arduous cross-border trade, it is not cost-effective to only sell those low-end products after paying a high transportation price, so the entire Xingqing Prefecture cannot find the label made by Dayan.

In a trance, Da Yan felt that he had been touched, and subconsciously thought that he had met a pickpocket, so he groped for his body, hey, but the money bag was still there?

Then I heard a voice shouting and scolding: "Song Gou, are you blind, you hit your grandfather but don't say anything, you want to die, right?" ”

It looks like a Western Xia warrior.

Mu Guiying's first thought: I wanted to drag this person to a place with few people and kill him.

However, although she is the female version of Long Aotian, she is also born as a thief and a master tactician, she will not attack on this high-end occasion with many people, she just looks at it coldly.

Wang Yan said, "This strong man, are you talking to me?" ”

"It's you who send the dog, the Song Kingdom is known as the state of etiquette, and grandpa can't see it, you bumped into me, why didn't you explain!" The Nathic warrior continued to shout.

Wang Yan squinted at him.

"Oh, what a noise, you have to make a fuss, don't affect my business here." The rest of the store began to drive away.

"Little dog officer, do you dare to come out and say it?" The Western Xia warrior raised his hand and said.

After Wang Yan glanced at Mu Guiying, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Only then did he come out to the alley behind him, lying in the groove, this Xixia warrior was also possessed by Long Aotian, and he attacked decisively without saying a word, and he greeted him like a black tiger with a heart.

There was no need for Mu Guiying to intervene, this kind of method was too conventional in the Great Crane God Machine Step System, so the Great Crane moved almost at the same time, and after dodging away like a phantom, at the same time, a flintlock short gun was pointed at the door of this guy's head.

In an instant, the world was clear.

The samurai stopped his back move in an instant, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead, and he didn't move.

"One shot to destroy this thief!" Mu Guiying shouted beside him.

Khan, Da Yan really didn't have this plan.

Then through the expression of this Western Xia warrior, the first thing that came to mind: the flintlock pistol has been made. Also, this person may have come to make trouble without the behest of Pang.

Otherwise, this phenomenon cannot be explained, and ordinary people do not know what a flintlock pistol is, so there should be no reason to be afraid of such a thing.

"Speak, aren't you loud?" Wang Yan said again.

"Your Excellency, please calm down......," the guy said in a cold sweat.

"What's cold and quiet, take advantage of the fact that there are few people now, and shoot him directly, if you think it's too quiet, the old lady can break his neck." Mu Guiying said.

"Don't ...... Do you know who I am? The Western Xia warrior hurriedly said.

"Tell me who you are?" Wang Yan said.

"I am the confidant of Lord Li Shougui, the Grand Lieutenant of the Palace's Marshal Mansion, and if you provoke me in Western Xia, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat." This Western Xia bushido.

Xixia does have this institution and position, and the full name is the inspection in front of the palace, but the so-called Taiwei Li doesn't have to listen to it, it's a false position, no matter how many things there are.

In fact, Wang Yan didn't really care who he was, but his anger was not too heavy now, and he didn't want to shoot anyone casually, so he hesitated for a moment and put away the gun, waved his hand and said, "Get out." ”

The Western Xia warrior didn't say a word, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley, he stopped again, turned his head and glanced at Wang Yan hatefully, and finally disappeared.
