Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Qin Envoy
"You can only make two yellow scarves?"
Liu Yuetian frowned slightly, he didn't consider those high-end equipment now, it was too far away from him, and the most important thing now was the yellow turban ribbon of the Yellow Turban Army, but a yellow scarf ribbon needed five taels of silk still made him feel a little too much.
"What? Your Highness doesn't like this silk? This is a first-class goods, I don't believe you pull hard, it is definitely a continuous pull, so the goods are absolutely unique to our Shenglong cloth Zhuang family, you can't buy such a good silk at other people's homes. ”
Shopkeeper Sun has good eyesight, and he doesn't seem to be very satisfied when he sees the other party.
"That's not it, it's just that these ten taels of silk are a little less, I don't know how many you have?"
"Your Highness is so powerful, you know that this is ten taels when you touch it with your hand, I don't know how much silk you want?"
Shopkeeper Sun asked.
"Why don't you get a thousand taels first!"
One thousand taels of silk can make 200 pieces of yellow scarf ribbons, which is only enough for 200 people.
"A thousand taels? So much! ”
Shopkeeper Sun was stunned, if a thousand taels of Tianshan silk are used to sew armor, it can be enough to equip an army of 10,000 people, and the army that can use Tianshan silk is an elite soldier, even Liu Yuan of Tianshui County is afraid that only his personal guards can be so extravagant, Liu Yuan will never have 10,000 personal guards.
"Your Highness, this Tianshan silk is a rare thing, even if you want to use it for high-ranking officials and rich people, a piece of clothing is only ten taels, you will need a thousand taels this time, isn't it a little too much!"
The shopkeeper Sun thought that the other party didn't know how to use it, so he hurriedly told him.
"Shopkeeper Sun, can a dignitary compare to my lord?"
The small stove said coldly on the side.
"That's, that's, it's not like that......... This Tianshan silk is one tael and one silver, and one thousand taels of silk is one thousand taels of silver, which is not cheap! ”
"Shopkeeper Sun, your nonsense is a bit too much, is my prince short of money?"
The little stove said again.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is not short of money, but I don't have this thousand taels of Tianshan silk now, I need to apply to the branch, if you really want it, you can only wait for a month."
"Yes, but I will buy all the silk you have now, and I will buy the rest when it arrives."
"Okay, okay, I still have ten taels, plus this one, it's a total of twenty taels."
The runner took out another ball.
The little stove took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
"Your Highness, take it, I will send someone to contact you immediately, and I will notify you as soon as the goods arrive."
"By the way, Shopkeeper Sun, your Shenglong firm is all over the world, I don't know if you know these materials?"
Liu Yuetian took out a bamboo slip with the materials listed by the system, and the other party took it with a smile, and was stunned after just looking at it.
"White python horn, zircon, peridot, seven killing stones, broken army stones, greedy wolf stones, lapis lazuli......... This...... ......... is this? ”
Shopkeeper Sun's eyes widened, he knew two kinds of things on this bamboo slip.
"Your Highness, this white python is a huge python on the snowy mountain in Tibet, legend has it that this python is 100 zhang long, the first born two dragon horns, once you climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain, it will transform into a dragon...... And this zircon is a kind of cherished gemstone, produced outside the Southern Wilderness, it is rumored that Yizhou Liu Bei has one, it is said that zircon can make people live longer, more precious than gold a hundred times, as for other things, forgive me for being lonely, I really haven't even heard of it, after all, I am also the shopkeeper of the cloth village, these names or our treasure pavilion people can know. ”
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said.
"Well, well, the silk matter will trouble you, notify me as soon as there is news, and you can also help me inquire about these things, don't think about money."
Liu Yuetian is really not worried about money now, that Shu Mountain is a gold mountain, containing an unknown amount of gold sand, but he can't mine it now, but in his eyes, it already belongs to him.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to me, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"
"What I'm short of right now is money! It seems that I have recently gone to dig sand in the Jinsha River. ”
After all, the gold mountain can't be dug for the time being, and the gold sand in the Jinsha River is much easier, but this heavy snow has increased a lot of difficulty, where else can I make money?
Out of Buzhuang, Liu Yuetian thought while walking on the street.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, followed by the shouts of the soldiers: "Get out of the way, get out of the way......!" ”
As the sound fell, a dozen tall horses galloped from far and near, and the horses' hooves galloped wildly, splashing snow all over the sky.
Liu Yuetian and Xiao Luzi hurriedly flashed to the side, and when they looked up, they saw that the person who was immediately in charge was Liu Yuan's beloved son Liu Cong, and they went straight to the city gate with their toes high, and disappeared in front of them in just a moment.
"These are green horses, and they are really much stronger than yellow Puma."
Shi Le sat on the yellow Puma, this kind of horse can only be used by the post station to deliver letters, but can not hear the sound of war drums, so it can not go to the battlefield.
On the other hand, the green horse is much stronger than the yellow Biaoma, but the green horse was originally trained by the Yellow Biaoma, and after several generations of breeding and continuous training, it finally became the current green horse.
In this era of cold weapons, a thousand cavalry with high morale is enough to fight against 10,000 infantry, but Tianshui does not produce war horses, now among the seven princes, only the Great Qin in the Western Regions and the Great Qing Dynasty in the north produce war horses, and the other princes have to buy from these two families, a green horse costs fifty taels of silver, if the war starts, the price is even higher, so just the war horse, the princes of several parties have to spend a huge amount of silver every year, and the entire Tianshui County is only more than 500 green horses, all of which are the most elite cavalry.
Liu Cong and the others rushed away, and the pedestrians on the street stopped to watch.
"What's going on?"
A few people asked in shock.
"Don't you know? Daqin came to the envoy, and Taishou had a big matter to discuss, and now he was outside the city, and Liu Cong went out to meet the other party. ”
A man knows something and says triumphantly.
"Great Qin envoy?"
Liu Yuetian stopped, the reputation of Daqin is famous among the seven princes, hundreds of years ago, the Western Regions were just a place outside the country, inhabited by many nomads, these nomads grew up on horses since childhood, each proficient in riding and archery, and the character is fierce and not afraid of life and death, and then the Great Zhou gradually weakened, these ethnic groups gradually established a country called Great Xia, Great Xia continued to become stronger, decades later took advantage of the weakness of the Great Zhou to enter the Central Plains and loot, but the Great Zhou was powerless.
At that time, there was a person named Yingqi around the king of Zhou, watching the Xiongnu ravage the court of the world but could not do anything, he offered to put down the rebellion against the Xiongnu, the king of Zhou was naturally happy, but none of his troops dared to go with Yingqi, so the king of Zhou could only write a blank check, as long as Yingqi repelled the Xiongnu, the land of the Western Regions was his fiefdom.
This Yingqi came to the Western Regions alone to recruit troops, and after decades of conquest, he finally established a country of his own in the Western Regions, called Daqin.
