There are also horses in the Hun Donghu, but they are very rare, basically they are royal cars, but I have never heard of a horse that can bite off the thick hemp rope of more than an inch, and such a fierce temperament may not be tamed by ordinary people.

Like later generations of men like luxury cars and watches, Daqin men also like horses and swords, but it is easy to get a thousand miles of horses, and a really good horse not only needs a good bloodline, but also needs to be well trained and cultivated, to get a real peerless horse, it is not just money can do it, but to raise such a horse, I am afraid that a family property of one million may not be able to support it.

Almost everyone knows that a real horse costs a thousand taels of gold to buy, and if the buyer is not a person who understands horses, people who love horses may not necessarily sell it.

Therefore, the sudden Dawan people who came from afar brought extraordinary horses for sale, which would inevitably cause a sensation in Xianyang, which gathered the top wealthy circles of Daqin.

(Note: In ancient times, there were two sayings about gold, one refers to copper coins, and the other refers to gold, but there is no difference, the matter of buying horse bones refers to gold, because the buyer of a horse is a monarch, if you spend a thousand dollars to buy a rare horse is definitely impossible, the evidence is that when Lü Buwei Qiqi cohabited and invested in strangers, he as a big businessman in Yangzhai, invested in thousands of gold, half of them were used for friendship and exchange, and the other half bought rare playthings to go to Xianyang to lobby the royal family and nobles, Therefore, if Lu Buwei's entire worth is only a thousand yuan, it would be too much of a slap in the face. In fact, there are differences in the names of gold in the history books, for example, the gold in the "reward of 100 gold" is gold, and if it is said that "giving gold a thousand catties" means that it is copper. The subtle changes in the position and the difference in context before and after the use of the word "gold" can be clearly distinguished. ）

And Chen Xu almost understood at this time, only to see countless people on the street heading to the west of the city, it must have been to see Dawan horses.

"Let's go, let's see!" Chen Xu was also interested, stood up and walked out the door, and Chen Pingqiu and Fu An and the others immediately followed together.

Dawan famous horse, that must be the sweat and blood of the legend of later generations.

Chen Xu has only heard of it and said that he has never seen it, and there are quite a lot of stories about sweat and blood BMW in history, and the most famous is of course Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a prisoner who was sent to the Western Regions caught a bloody horse on the plateau, and after offering it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ecstatic, calling it a heavenly horse, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also improvised a song to express his extreme excitement.

?“ Taiyi Gongxi is under the sky, stained with red sweat and dripping ochre. Cheng Rong and stumbling thousands of miles, now Anpi Xilong is a friend. ”

After singing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still unsatisfied, where was there enough for such a divine horse, so he arranged for officials to go to the Western Regions to inquire, and learned that this kind of heavenly horse was produced in the west of the green mountains of Dawan country, so he sent envoys to Dawan with a thousand gold and a golden horse made of gold to buy a bloody horse, but it was refused, because Dawan was controlled by the Huns at that time, and was afraid that this purebred horse would be more threatening to the Xiongnu's control of the Western Regions after the Han Dynasty, and the envoy was rejected and was attacked and killed by Dawan robbers on the way back to the Central Plains. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was angry and ordered the general Li Guangli to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Dawan, but the first fiasco returned, tens of thousands of horses and only a few thousand people returned to Dunhuang, three years later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Guangli to lead 60,000 troops of 30,000 horses and 100,000 cattle to conquer Dawan again, this time Dawan because of the internal strife, so a conquest down, the Han army broke the Guishan City, got thousands of horses and returned, and then put the Ili pasture in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and Wusun horses, Yueshi horses, Xiongnu horses for cross-breeding, Since then, the Han Dynasty also has a good horse of Ili, which laid a strong foundation for the complete conquest of the Xiongnu later, and later the Central Plains Dynasty has changed several times, but the Ili horse has been continuously cultivated and tamed as the best war horse of the Central Plains empire, until the Mengyuan invaded the Central Plains, the Ili horse disappeared quickly, and the bloodline of the sweat and blood BMW was also completely submerged by the Mongolian horse, and the Central Plains no longer had the name of the heavenly horse.

"I'll go, so many people!"

Riding to the vicinity of the West Gate, he found that the entire West Gate was almost blocked by the people who came to watch the horses, and there were at least thousands of people in the black pressure, Chen Xu had to abandon the car and ride the horse, and in the continuous scolding of a group of guards, a group of people spent a full moment to squeeze out of the city gate.

The city gate has been lively and almost out of control, and there are many noble princes and princes like Chen Xu in the crowded crowd, and the soldiers guarding the gate can't manage it if they want to, so they can only keep pushing these nobles away from the crowded crowd to open the way, and many soldiers squeezed out their helmets.

To say that the safety factor of Xianyang has indeed increased countless times in recent years, since Chen Xu came to Xianyang after continuous reform, not only now the curfew time has been postponed by an hour, but also for the streets and alleys to set up stalls are no longer forcibly evicted, the city gate management has also been relaxed a lot, with the prosperity and development of private commerce, the four city gates are full of traffic all day long, morning and evening, sometimes the soldiers do not check the identity card at all, and all the people are allowed to speed up the speed of pedestrians entering and leaving the city so as not to block the city gate is more dangerous.

Chen Xu and Chen Ping finally squeezed out of the city, but after seeing the situation outside, it was even more staggering, the open space where the trucks were waiting to stay and check on weekdays had already been crowded with people, and there were at least forty or fifty thousand people, all of whom were discussing and making noise, some people kept squeezing inside, some stood outside and tiptoed out, and some squeezed out of it with their heads covered and hats, their clothes were messy and embarrassed.

"This brother, what's going on inside?" A middle-aged man finally squeezed out and was grabbed by Fu An.

"Don't ask, don't ask, it's indeed a horse, but the price can scare you to death!" The middle-aged man's clothes and clothes looked quite luxurious, but his tone of voice was obviously decadent, and he waved his hand again and again as he spoke, preparing to leave.

"Brother Tai don't hurry away, how much money is it, how can you scare someone to death!" Fu An was very unconvinced, pulling the man's sleeve and refusing to let go.

The man glanced at Fu An angrily, and after seeing the nameplate of the newspaper editor-in-chief on his chest, he was slightly stunned, and his attitude was much better, and he arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but I persuaded you not to go in to read it, not because it was an exaggeration, but the editor-in-chief Fu must not be able to afford it......"

"Noise, how much do you just say?" Chen Ping, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but interrupt the man's words.

And when the man looked at the nameplate on Chen Ping's chest, his face turned pale and trembled, and he hurriedly gave it up again: "It turned out to be Secretary Chen, and he was clumsy, and there were ten horses brought by Western Dawan merchants, each of whom cost thousands of gold......

"What?" Fu An, who grabbed the man's sleeve, exclaimed, his feet were weak, and he almost knelt down.

"Hey, hey!" The man laughed a few times and bowed his hand, "A certain self-proclaimed net worth is not bad, but also particularly loves horses, there are more than ten horses in the house, I just heard a friend say that I came to see that I wanted to buy a few back, but I didn't expect that the horse is indeed a peerless horse that is difficult to find in the world, it is a breed that has never been seen in the Central Plains and Hun Hu, but the price of a thousand gold is indeed daunting, I am afraid that in addition to the first emperor and the marquis of Qinghe and other nobles, this Xianyang has not been consumed by a few people, if you don't believe it, please go in and have a look, a certain first quit, offended!" ”

The man staggered away while tidying up his clothes and tiara after giving his hands one after another, obviously a little confused, it seems that this price is indeed a big blow to him, and he is not even in the mood to be close to Chen Ping, a senior official.

"A thousand gold, I really can't afford it!" Fu An opened his mouth and spoke suddenly.

"Go in and take a look, you can't afford it, you can't afford it!" Chen Ping's expression was also a little lost in an instant.

1,000 taels of gold, according to the current monetary reform money ratio, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 400 yuan, which is equivalent to 400,000 yuan.

, Chen Xu calculated and made a big jump for himself.

Sure enough, it's a supercar, and it's a bit outrageously expensive.

You must know that the best Hun horses at the moment are only more than 10,000 yuan, almost only six or seven thousand yuan, as for the inferior horses used to pull the cart in the Central Plains can be bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a slightly better horse is only two or three thousand dollars to the sky, this kind of ordinary horse is generally a little better The family can afford it, just like the family car of later generations, going out to ride a horse in Daqin belongs to the popular configuration, which is not a luxury, especially in the past few years The rapid economic development of Daqin, the Liang State and the Liao State continue to dump horses and cattle and sheepskin goods to the Central Plains in order to develop, According to incomplete statistics and speculation, as of last summer, the entire Daqin already had more than two million horses and 700,000 cattle, while the entire Daqin was only six million households, and almost half of the families could share a large livestock.

Of course, this is the same as the average salary of later generations, although there are some cheats, but this average is much more real than money, even if Chen Xu has such a big family business, the entire Hou Mansion is only three hundred horses, and most of them are still pulling horses and pack horses, only half of them can really ride long distances, and there are not many families on average.

But the 400,000 horses made Chen Xu feel a toothache when he bought them, and if he didn't cry to death, even if he didn't raise them to death, he would go out and scratch off a little paint...... If you lose a little fur, you will definitely feel distressed and your heart will drip blood.

In order not to let his identity attract the attention of onlookers and cause the crowd to panic and trample, Chen Xu put a guard's hat on his head, and then instructed the guards not to show their waist cards or scold and drive away, a group of people wrapped together and desperately squeezed inside, under a series of cordial greetings from your lady, accompanied by the continuous screams of ping-pong, a group of guards with big shoulders and round waists waved their fists and pushed and shoved, or broke a way to protect Chen Xu Chen Ping and others squeezed into the middle of the circle.

"咴~~"

As soon as I squeezed in, I saw a large number of horses carrying goods and Hu people dressed in exotic clothes gathered in the middle of the clearing, the horses were all tied to the railing, and there were many exquisite gems and the fangs of wild beasts and other items on the ground, and the most eye-catching thing in the field were ten horses, three were snow-white, two were chestnut, two were cyan, one was pitch-black, and one was red as fire and one was golden.

The ten horses were as pure as silk, with slender limbs and huge hooves, and their necks were much longer than those of ordinary Hun horses, and their muscles looked full of strength, and their manes and tail were neatly distant, smooth and shimmering in the sun.
