Chapter 492: Coveting BMWs

Miao Qi couldn't sit still, he had seen the lethality of that demon with his own eyes, if that demon was rampant outside the plug and there was no one to control it, it would be a catastrophe, an unimaginable disaster.

"I'm going to send a letter to the sect leader and say goodbye first." Miao Qi retreated with his people, and after finding a foothold on the opposite side, he wrote to Zhao Quan, telling him the unfortunate news, asking Zhao Quan to pay close attention to the movements in various places, and to come up with a way to deal with the demon as soon as possible.

Hassan didn't dare to leave, the third lady is still here, he must stay and protect.

The reason why Miao Qi dared to leave was because the Holy Maiden didn't need to be protected by anyone at all, and among all of them, even if the Holy Maiden's mana was no longer at its peak, it was still the highest among them.

Zuo Ling led the three ladies and the holy daughter to the place where they lived, Zuo Ling and Li Xiangjun still live in the Xing Yuan, and they live in the big tent of the Chinese army every day.

"This is where you live, it's beautiful." The three ladies looked at the place where the curtain was enclosed, there were various styles of small tents, all for the maids, the female guards, and those maiko, these girls set up wooden poles outside, and dried their clothes, but they were colorful and colorful.

"That's where we live." Zuo Ling smiled.

"This ......" When he saw Xing Yuan, the three ladies and the holy woman were also shocked.

Although the hall they rode in when they came was already high-level enough, compared to this line, it was a pigeon meeting a goose, and it was not an equivalent at all.

"You're here with the house?" The saint also smiled bitterly, she could hardly imagine how such a heavy chariot could be pulled.

The general hall outside the plug is very light, but it is just to put the high-grade yurt on the carriage, of course, the cart is generally pulled by oxen, the endurance of the ox is good, suitable for running long distances, and the horse-drawn is only fast and beautiful, and it is not applicable.

Besides, the chariot had simply carried a small palace into a carriage, so it was no wonder that they were stunned when they saw it.

"It's pulled by eight horses." Zuo Ling explained, then pointed to the ten imperial horses that were eating grass on the side.

The three ladies went crazy when they saw it, this is a Pegasus, they actually used Pegasus to pull the cart, this is simply unreasonable, and it is a great sin.

"You ...... Use them to ...... Cart? "The three ladies are almost speechless.

"Yes, don't underestimate these horses, they have a lot of strength, and they can run faster than the fastest horses in such a heavy house." Zuo Ling knew about horses, and thought that the third lady meant that a horse-drawn cart should not be used.

"You ......" the third lady was speechless angrily, and almost said the damn word.

"It's too extravagant." The saint shook her head as well.

Although she doesn't ride a horse, she also knows the rarity and preciousness of this kind of heavenly horse, even if you can't find much on the grassland, it is basically in the stables of the princes and nobles, as an ancestor to support, where you are willing to ride, it is reserved for breeding.

"Well, this is what the emperor lent us to use, and we have to return it to the emperor when we go back, and we don't have such a luxurious house." Zuo Ling explained.

In fact, the luxury mentioned by the saint refers to the use of the royal carriage, not to the chariot, no matter how valuable the chariot is, this kind of heavenly horse is a priceless treasure.

"These horses were also lent to you by the emperor?" The third lady asked.

"No, it was rewarded by the emperor." Zuo Ling smiled.

This is the family style, his wife and he are not called husband or head of the house or anything, and the son is called by his real name.

The third lady was very red-eyed, she felt that it was a mistake for her to accept the tent outside, and she knew that she should have a heavenly horse. Of course, this is also to think about it, she can't really ask for it, it will be too greedy, and it will make people laugh.

"Our horses in the interior are not as good as your horses, no wonder you can't look down on them." Zuo Ling also said apologetically.

"Don't say it, we'll cry if you say it again." The third lady was about to cry when Zuo Ling said.

"What's the matter, I'm telling the truth, others may not be as good as the mainland, that is, the horses are stronger than the mainland, everyone knows this, am I wrong?" Zuo Ling was puzzled.

"You don't have enough, there are not ten such horses, even in the stables of the king of Alta." The saint smiled bitterly.

"What? Are these horses very valuable? Zuo Ling was startled.

"What is valuable, I can't buy it at all, or you can sell me a horse, as much silver as you want." The third lady couldn't hold back anymore and jumped to her feet.

"That's right, I'm sorry, I don't know." Zuo Ling said with some trepidation.

"But these horses are all rewarded by the emperor, and they are all recorded, and if you return them in some points when you go back, you can't sell them, otherwise you can let him give you one." Zuo Ling explained.

"Loser, your emperor is still a loser, and you are all losers." The three ladies turned their faces angrily, unwilling to look at them.

Zuo Ling smiled, but it was just a few horses, and the emperor had done a lot of things for the losers, and he was doing them every day, and those things made them know that they were going crazy.

Of course, it is not that the emperor is a loser, but that the policies formulated by the palace in the past dynasties are all losers, but then again, the undefeated family cannot show the royal demeanor. In fact, Emperor Longqing is a good emperor who pays attention to diligence and thrift, but he can't stand the losers of the palace system, and he can't change these systems.

Just like when he was a prince, he liked to eat pulp tarts in a deli shop on a nearby street, a big box of five cents, but after he became the emperor, he asked the imperial chef to make the same pulp tarts for him, and several eunuchs of the imperial food supervisor counted the costs, and came to tell the emperor that it would cost 1,000 taels of silver just to make various molds, and then each pie would cost 50 taels of silver.

After Emperor Longqing heard this, his angry face was distorted, the people below were greedy for money, but they didn't have such a way to be greedy for money, and they raised the price a thousand times at once, and he simply stopped eating it in distress.

This is not a unique feature of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true of the Great Song Dynasty, which is highly regarded by later generations, and Song Renzong of the Song Dynasty was also a thrifty emperor, who wanted to eat oysters one day, but thought of the price of one or two pieces of silver, so he forcibly held back.

Another day, when he suddenly wanted to eat donkey intestines, he asked the eunuch if he ate a donkey intestine once in a while, would he have to kill a donkey every day to serve? The eunuch immediately gave him a clear answer, yes, long live the lord, the imperial dining room must kill a donkey every day.

Song Renzong thought that even if he didn't eat, he would have to kill a donkey every day to prepare, and he would lose a lot, so he simply endured it.

If the emperor wants to be undefeated, he has to endure it, but no matter how he endures it, the loser system is still there, and he is still a loser every day.

Zuo Ling invited the three ladies and the saint and their attendants to sit down in the chariot, and then sent someone to bring the gifts prepared for the three ladies, all of which were precious silk and porcelain.

As for the gold and silver utensils, there is no shortage of them, even more than in the mainland.

Of course, this also refers to those princes and nobles, ordinary herdsmen do not know what gold and silver are, and they cannot afford to wear expensive gold jewelry, at most they can buy one or two pieces of silver jewelry.

Every year, the imperial court and the outside of the Saiwai do business, is to export a large number of silk porcelain, earn a lot of gold and silver, not to say that there is a lot of gold and silver outside the Saiwai, the gold and silver outside the Saiwai is mainly concentrated in the hands of those princes and nobles, the herdsmen are still living a life of barter, no money at all.

This is not the case in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people also have to use money to buy things, bartering is only in very remote mountainous areas, so the overall amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty is not a lot, much more than outside the Saiwai, but everyone has to use it, it seems to be less, and it is not enough at all.

The third lady looked at the boxes of gifts given to her, all of which were very beautiful and energetic things, she was very happy, and blurted out: "You Han people have too many good things, no wonder my ancestor Khan thinks about how to rob you every day." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, this girl was so sincere that she said everything in her heart.

The holy woman hurriedly smiled and said, "King Alta doesn't really want to rob it, or the court refuses to sell things to us, so we have to rob it." ”

Zuo Ling didn't know the identity of the saint, and thought that she was also the attendant of the third lady, so he smiled and said: "Then don't rob it in the future, besides, this time you have to negotiate with the king of Alta, and it is better to spend money to buy it in the future." ”

The third lady smiled: "Who is willing to rob it if you can buy it." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Think about it carefully, or spend money to buy the most appropriate, although the robbery comes quickly, save money, in fact, the cost may be greater than buying, a cannon sound gold ten thousand taels, on the one hand, refers to how much can be grabbed, on the other hand, it also refers to how much their army will cost, as long as the army starts, the daily consumption is a lot of silver, all kinds of wear and tear consumption can make a country be dragged bankrupt.

"You really can't sell your horses outside?" The third lady whispered in her ear.

She was still firmly tethered to the Pegasus outside, and she really wanted to have such a Pegasus, not for riding, but to be happy when she looked at it every day.

She also has her own horse team, she has had it since she was a child, and her horses are all carefully selected, one in ten thousand, but there is not a single royal horse of this level in front of her, even if it is the king of Alta.

Although it is said that it is a breed of horse, Mongolian horses are not sweat and blood horses, and they do not produce horses of this breed. The so-called sweat and blood BMW, not every horse is a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, just like human beings, there are always very few outstanding people.

"This, it may not be able to be sold, if it can be sold, it can be given to you, and we are not short of this amount of money, but I will ask you what's more." Zuo Ling is a little embarrassed.

"You ride in the car every day, what do you want Pegasus to do?" The saint felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the third lady to take the initiative to buy a horse.

"Don't do anything, just raise it every day and watch it every day." The third lady is very frank and authentic.

"What's the point of that, isn't it equivalent to buying an ancestor at a high price?" Zuo Ling's eyes widened, puzzled.

"You just don't understand this, we people outside the Saiwai love horses just as you Han people like gold, silver and jewelry." The third lady smiled.

"We Han people don't all like gold, silver and jewelry, my favorite is medicinal herbs." Zuo Ling shook his head and said.

Love medicinal herbs? This time it's the turn of the third lady to be confused, what kind of hobbies does this Mrs. Qincha have.
