1593 Gift of the Northern Desert (3)
Razaha stretched out his hand and pulled away the butt of the wooden horse, and Mu Qing looked inside, and sure enough, he saw several foals on the belly of the wooden horse.
As soon as the wind and snow blew, the ponies neighed softly, and they looked quite strong, and it seemed that the ponies had been well cared for along the way.
Mu Qing glanced at the pony and said lightly: "Since they are good horses, why don't you let them go by themselves, I'm afraid that this kind of enclosure will restrict their nature." ”
Mu Qingping doesn't have much of a liking, raising horses is his only preference, and at this time, seeing those foals being locked up like this, he feels that these horses are very pitiful.
Lazaha said with a smile: "It's cold and freezing, these horses are my good horses in the desert, they are all varieties of sweat and blood horses that travel thousands of miles every day, sweat and blood horses are not too cold-resistant, afraid of freezing them, wait until the hand of the horse farm in the capital, and then lay a thick straw in the horse pen, and then put it down, what do you think?" ”
The Northern Desert is called the Northern Desert in Daye, but the Northern Desert itself is called the Great Desert.
Mu Qing remembered the list that the Ministry of Rites showed him early this morning, when the envoy of the Northern Desert left Beijing last time, he said that he would send a New Year's offering after the peace, and the list of the annual offering listed that there would be ten good horses, a number of jewelry, and a number of other Northern Desert native products.
At this time, the foals raised by the large wooden horse were supposed to be so-called good horses.
At this time, the foals have not yet grown up, and if they are really sweaty horses, they are worth much more than those good horses that have grown up.
It's just that Beimo has always cherished sweat and blood, and he never gives it away.
This time, it was ten horses, which was extremely generous.
Mu Qing knew about the envoys of the Northern Desert when they entered Beijing in the middle of the year, and at that time, Jing Ye only imprisoned those envoys in the prison of the Criminal Department for a few days, and then let those envoys see Daye's grain storage, even so, according to the nature of the Northern Desert in the past, it would not be such a big turn.
At this time, Mu Qing somewhat understood why Jing Ye let these envoys wait outside the capital, because he was afraid that there would be some accidents in the middle.
Since he is here, he naturally wants to take a good look at what the envoy of the Northern Desert will bring into Beijing.
Lazaha also guessed Mu Qing's intention, and immediately led him to check all the things he brought this time, those things were all packed in round wooden barrels, and there were all kinds of local products produced in the Northern Desert, Rao is Mu Qing is also well-informed, and there are many that he has not seen.
Mu Qing saw a wooden barrel filled with red dried fruits, those dried fruits were very fat, they looked a little like dates, but they were much bigger than ordinary red dates, and they looked very cute.
He took one and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, Lazaha said with a smile: "This is our unique mare's milk date in the Northern Desert, it is very delicious, this thing is extremely difficult to preserve, this kind of freshness is not much even in our king's tent now, you taste it." ”
"This is your offering to the emperor, how can I taste it first?" Mu Qing has always acted very appropriately, and he was not the kind of person who was delicious, so he immediately put back the mare's milk dates in his hand, and then turned his head to look at other things.
He saw a large pile of yellow things in a wooden barrel, and he reached out and touched it with some curiosity, and it was extremely soft to touch, and it looked like flowers and plants.
Mu Qing asked with some curiosity, "What is this?" ”
