The bazaars of the steppe people are different from those in the Central Plains, not only in the way of trading, but also in the goods sold.

Hua Hate Liu and Niu Wangqiu have been wandering around this royal land for a while, and Hua Hate Liu found that here the grassland people are still trading in the form of barter, such as five sheep for a horse, and two bags of milk for a small bag of wine...... What surprised him the most was that a shield that looked ordinary was worth the value of a horse - this should be placed in the Central Plains, a good grassland horse is difficult to buy, it is this ordinary grassland horse, because of its strong endurance and strength, it is also much stronger than the Central Plains horse, even if it is replaced with a shield made of fine iron, it is not a problem.

Are these people stupid? He thought about it in his heart, but he still couldn't think through the reason, but Niu Wangqiu on the side saw it clearly, and asked with a smile: "It's strange, isn't it?" ”

"That......'s right," Hua Yanliu nodded, "If it's just closed in the grassland, I don't know what the situation is outside, but this is the royal court, I don't believe that this group of people hasn't been to the towns of the Central Plains...... A shield made of ordinary rotten iron is worth ......"

"How much should that be worth?" Niu Wangqiu interrupted him and asked.

"It's worth ......" Hua Ha Liu pondered in his heart, and was about to speak, but saw Niu Wangqiu wave his hand to stop his words.

"Isn't it worth the value you set according to the concept of the Central Plains?" Niu Wangqiu smiled: "Haven't you thought that in the minds of our grassland people, you are fools? ”

"Are we fools?" The flowers hate the willows incomprehensibly, the people of the Central Plains are genuine smart talents! Look at the words, look at the construction of the city, look at the paintings, dances, chess...... Which one is not famous? Which one is not second to none?

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but he also knew that since Niu Wangqiu asked like this, there must be a reason for him to ask, so he immediately asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Haha!" Niu Wangqiu first raised his voice and laughed loudly before he said: "The cattle, sheep, and horses that are everywhere on our grassland can be sold at a good price when they come to your Central Plains people, especially horses, although it is not easy to raise, but if you are really willing to sell them, you will make a profit and not lose money!" Don't you think you're stupid too? ”

"This ......" Hua hated Liu when she heard it, and she couldn't think of how to respond for a while. But if you think about it, what Niu Wangqiu said is indeed reasonable, horses are more expensive, but they are not as expensive as today. Niu Wangqiu is responsible for buying horses for Yang Wu all the year round, and he is very familiar with the market, since he said so at this time, then the real situation must be eight or nine - this is because the Central Plains people value the good of the grassland people, but the grassland people value the good of the Central Plains people?

"You see the goods that are sold here, apart from livestock, are furs, shoddy wine, and sometimes slaves...... In their eyes, these are just low-grade goods, and the really high-end goods are those outrageously expensive ironware, silk and even porcelain that ordinary people can't afford at home! ”

Hearing Niu Wangqiu say this, Hua Hate Liu noticed that in addition to the ridicule, there was also a trace of sourness on his face.

"I have been exposed to these things since I was a child, so when I grow up, I also yearn for the objects of the Central Plains, not to mention the exquisiteness, and sometimes there are new ideas, which make people happy and love." As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said: "But I also hate these things, because of these things, the grassland people who were originally content with the status quo began to move, and slowly began to covet the south; People who were originally ambitious gradually lose their hearts and only seek pleasure because they are addicted to such things......"

"It's all a man's own choice, and it has nothing to do with this object." Hearing Niu Wangqiu say this, Hua Hate Liu mistakenly thought that he was going to blame those prices that condensed ingenuity, and immediately tried to persuade Niu Wangqiu with the reason of "guilty".

"Haha, I didn't mean that...... his face was slightly stunned, Niu Wangqiu waved his hand suddenly: "I want to say that if the things of the Central Plains can't reach the grassland, and the things of the grassland can't reach the territory of the Central Plains, the two sides may still live a happy life now, and they won't treat each other as fish and meat......"

"I'm afraid not." Hua Hate Liu did not agree with Niu Wangqiu's statement, and now seeing Niu Wangqiu saying such negative words, he poured cold water without any scruples, and said: "Let's not say that this kind of thing may not happen...... I know that in the chaos of one family and one country, external chaos is often the appearance, and internal chaos is the crux of the problem. After speaking, he paused to see that Niu Wangqiu did not have any dissatisfied reaction, and continued: "That is to say, the two great princes of Qingyang and Diyun on the grassland, why do they fight and kill?" Speaking of the Central Plains, you have read the history of the Central Plains, and you also know that the thirteen dynasties of the Fan calendar have not destroyed the previous dynasty first, and then established the present dynasty? Why? It's just a competition of lust! ”

"According to what you say, your dynasty of the Central Plains people was established by all selfish desires?" Niu Wangqiu nodded and smiled, but turned the conversation to Hua Hate Liu Fangcai's words.

"This ...... Not exactly. Realizing that his words might have been too absolute, Hua Hateliu's face turned red - but because he wore the mask of Bai Keqi, Niu Wangqiu couldn't see it - explained: "Some of them also wanted to benefit the people at the beginning, but later some of them were for their own reasons, and some of them were because of inheritance, and this 'heart' was forgotten, and they slowly deviated from the idea of the beginning, and finally had to wait for the next dynasty to overthrow themselves. ”

"Oh......" Niu Wangqiu replied slightly teasingly: "I don't know if you think of the current world in the Central Plains, is there more out of selfish desires, or more people think about the people?" ”

"This ......" Hua Hates Liu is not easy to answer, first of all, it is certain that there must be people who are selfish, but whether there are people who are for the people He dare not assert, not to mention Song Jixu, at least from the point of view of the banner, Yang Wu, Song Changgong, and Xiao Shurang all belong to the latter - as for whether they sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, Hua Hate Liu has no bottom in his heart.

"Alright, it's a little bit farther away." Niu Wangqiu saw that he was embarrassed, and did not continue to ask. He looked around, there were many fewer people selling things in this area, but the things he sold were some delicate and precious gold and silver utensils, and he immediately decided in his heart that this was the core area close to the entire royal court.

"Let's stop here, let's go back." Reaching out and patting Hua Hate Liu's shoulder, Niu Wangqiu took the lead and walked back.

"Why, why don't you go in and have a look?" Hua hated Liu wondered, with the kung fu of the two of them, it was estimated that as long as he did not meet the so-called "ten-person black team", he would be able to get out of the palace in broad daylight. Why don't you go forward when you get there?

"I've heard that this 'ten-man black team' has always been an inch, and this cloud rarely comes out because of its age...... At this time, breaking inside is bound to attract their attention. Niu Wangqiu explained.

"Does that sound reasonable...... Isn't it the same if you don't come overnight? He doesn't have a habit of wandering at night, right? Hua Hate Liu became more and more puzzled, and asked rhetorically.

"At night, these people are not in front of them, and it is much easier to do it at that time." Niu Wangqiu pointed to the people who came and went around here: "These people are all businessmen, you don't have to worry that they will enter the army one day, if you can not hurt them, you can not hurt them." ”

"Oh, that's good." Hua Hate Liu nodded yes, but in his heart he knew as clearly as Spiegel: businessmen don't join the army? Yes, they don't participate, but the money is a lot of money! When the time comes, with the money they handed over, isn't it still something that will harm the people of the Central Plains?

Although he understands it in his heart, but Hua Hates Liu does not break it, he understands what Niu Wangqiu said, the key is to say "do not hurt", the common people are the most innocent group of people at any time, although Niu Wangqiu does not deal with the clouds, but these grassland people are also his robe brothers in the final analysis, and of course their own knives cannot be cut on their own people.

"Let's go!" Hua hated Liu answered, and was about to follow forward.

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Niu Wangqiu suddenly stood up, almost letting Hua Hate Willow bump into him.

"What's going on? What do you see......" Hua Hate Liu Zheng wondered, seeing Niu Wangqiu standing in place, his eyes only looking ahead, following his line of sight, and the words he hadn't finished speaking were also stuck in his throat when he saw the person in front of him clearly.

The lantern is especially pleased today. This is the first time since she came to the royal court that she has been allowed to breathe outside - of course, if she is let out alone, maybe this little clever ghost will run away, so in addition to her newly recognized godsister Qimu, who accompanied her out, the prince of the clouds also attached great importance to sending the four people in the "ten-person black team", Zhengshen, Zhengge, Biyue, and Bishi, which are called protection, but in fact supervision.

Still, Rao was so happy that the lantern was still very happy. As soon as she was accompanied by her Muge, the others ignored it; Second, although she is a descendant of the Lord of Qingyang, she grew up hiding in Tibet since she was a child, and she hardly remembers the days when she stayed in the grassland, let alone where she would have the opportunity to see the lively bazaar during the escape!

"Sister, are the things here expensive? How is it sold? Shall I buy you nice jewelry? "Along the way, the lantern is full of interest in the things sold in this bazaar, but its wooden grid is far less relaxed than her, you must know that in order to make the cloud lord agree to release the lantern out, she is under the pressure of being punished once she loses it, not to mention that this is about to reach the farthest range that the maharaja promised to go out, and then walk more than ten zhang forward, I am afraid that even if it disturbs the interest of her lovely little sister, she will have to go back the same way.

"You better keep it for yourself and buy it, you can still use it when you get married in the future, it's not too early to prepare!" With a smile on her face, she teasingly said to the lantern.

"Hmm...... I won't care if I'm not afraid...... It's okay, I'll buy it for you first. The lantern muttered, ignoring his incomprehensible gaze, found a place to sell gold and silver jewelry, pointed to one of the bracelets in good condition, and asked, "How do you sell this thing?" ”

"This Five ......"

The boss is a slightly chubby man, who looks like a slippery snob, and was about to make an offer, but someone interrupted: "This thing is not for sale, we bought it!" ”
