Chapter 185: Leaving Hundred Mile City
"Hey, how far is the northern border from us, that's thousands of miles away.
Maybe fly somewhere else on the way! Who knows! "The road is not authentic.
The northern border, which is thousands of miles away, is a place that many people have never been to in their lifetime.
The unattainable thing was naturally put down by many people, and the problem of the snitch was discussed.
The attraction of snitches is far greater than the plague of locusts for a group of rich people living in the city.
A group of people who don't understand farming, who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, how can they care about things that they think have nothing to do with them.
In addition to the snitch, the topic of conversation is nothing more than eating, drinking, or looking for flowers and willows.
Ziyu and Libai sped up their meals and left quickly after checking out.
The two people who left the restaurant went straight to the largest carriage and horse shop in Baili City.
There are all kinds of famous horses and different types of cars here, and you can directly explain the meaning of the white when you enter.
"A sturdy two-wheeled carriage with a pair of ponies."
"Don't worry, Son, our carriage and horse shop has the most complete set of horses and vehicles in Baili City, and you can have everything you want.
Absolutely satisfying you! The Chinese man in charge of the reception was full of smiles and enthusiastically took the two of them to pick horses.
"Black horse, yellow fat horse, jade lion, red ......"
A tall horse with strong limbs and smooth and shiny fur.
Leaving Bai secretly grinding his teeth, all the horses in the carriage and horse are better than the horses in the barracks at the beginning.
Many breeds are good horses, but the horses they use are the most common horses.
As a general, he rode a horse that was snatched from bandits, and he accompanied him in the battle for two years and died in that battle.
Ordinary soldiers, let alone horses, did not even have a mule to ride.
A group of pampered officials and lords enjoyed the life that the front-line soldiers had bought with their blood, but abandoned them at the moment of crisis.
The demise of such a White Cloud Country is only a matter of time, and it is not a pity at all for Bai.
…
Hundreds of horses are carefully guarded by special people, and their lives are obviously better than people.
Just looking at the fur and the tall man, the treatment enjoyed is definitely superior.
"In the first two stables, there is the little pony that the prince said, which is a new breed from overseas.
The little pony is the favorite of the little masters and young ladies in the capital, and the price is naturally a bit high.
In addition, we also have famous dogs from overseas, both large and small. ”
The Chinese said that he was honorable, and he was satisfied that he had met many dignitaries, as if he had a friendship with dignitaries.
Ziyu can't comment on the three views of the Chinese people, maybe the people who live in Baili City are proud to meet the dignitaries!
"One red yellow, one black horse, two small ponies, I will pick it myself."
No matter which generation, those who can afford to raise good horses are rich people, and they are thousands of taels of silver.
As soon as the Chinese heard it, he understood that the boy in front of him was a man who knew horses, so he stopped talking and let him choose.
…
When the two left in a nondescript two-horse carriage, a pair of ponies were tethered to the car.
The thick limbs were as thick as the calves of a strong man, and although they were short, they could easily jog with the carriage.
The four horses that run are properly the silver that walks.
The price of each horse was fifteen hundred taels of silver, and even the carriage under their buttocks cost three hundred taels of silver.
Ziyu, who was in a hurry to leave, did not follow the carriage and horses.
The two of them at this time are rich fools, and they must be generous.
Seeing the two of them boldly digging out the gold, the Chinese squinted their eyes with a smile, and generously sent saddles, car loops and other accessories for the first time.
Li Bai drove the carriage straight to the north city gate, and didn't even return to the inn.
Just because there are no necessities to bring in the inn, only a few packs of uneaten snacks are left, and important items are stored in the space.
Libai, who drove out of the city in an empty horse-drawn carriage, did not stop to buy food for the road.
The news of the locust plague on the northern border only reached Baili City three days ago.
The fact that the news can reach Baili City shows that the locust plague did not occur three days ago.
Ziyu, who was sitting in front with Libai, saw that there were crops in the fields outside the city, and there were still ten days and a half months before they were fully ripe, and they didn't know if they could wait until the day of harvest.
At this time, no one will be willing to harvest the half-ripe crops in the field in advance.
"Leaving Bai, every town you pass through is a rumor.
How much they can listen to depends on their own vision. ”
Ziyu is really unbearable to be a crop, and it has been plagued by locusts, and I don't know how many people will go to the pot without food.
The locust plague will be the best excuse for invasion in the north.
The tribute of grain and silver would crush tens of thousands of civilians.
It's not as easy as the group of boys in the restaurant.
The more severe the disaster in the northern country, the more demands are placed on the white cloud country.
If it is not satisfied, it will inevitably become a pretext for the northern kingdom to attack.
Ziyu estimates that the war will start as soon as autumn, and after more than half a year of repair, the offensive in the northern country will definitely be more fierce.
…
"Okay, let's do our best, the most important thing is to rush back as soon as possible.
Only by keeping one's foothold can one consider others. ”
Li Bai responded, and the horsewhip in his hand was whipped in the air from time to time, throwing out a loud whip whistle.
On the official road on a summer afternoon, the sun is blazing, and there are few people coming and going, and the horses are running with their hooves.
The pony snorted and followed closely, and when it reached no man's land, it was suddenly taken into space by Ziyu.
The carriage without scruples accelerated again, and Ziyu sitting in the carriage was more uncomfortable than riding a horse.
Kicking on the figure-eight foot, his right hand grasped the wheel, and the warm wind under the scorching sun brought dust to his face.
The two of them are disgraced, how can they still have the image of a son-in-law.
…
When the carriage was fast into Yingkou Town, it slowed down, and the industrious people were already working in the fields.
"The locust plague is coming, the locust plague is coming!" Ziyu shouted at the people in the ground.
The man working in the field looked up and saw that it was a boy in a carriage calling.
"Where did the yellow-mouthed child come from, how can this kind of thing be foolish!"
One of them watched the air, and there was not even a single bird, and he cursed dissatisfiedly at the carriage that was going away.
"That boy can't be true!
The crops in the field are about to ripen, and one more day of raising them will give you a few more litres of grain.
The whole family is waiting for this season's harvest, in case it ......"
The older man still remembers the locust plague that happened when he was a child.
It was really locust crossing without leaving a leaf, and those who didn't have time to hide would lose half their lives.
"Yingkou Town is the closest town to Baili City, and the government has not notified it.
Brother Gongzi who passed by must be in a panic, and he can't see that our crops are about to be harvested. "The middle-aged man who just cursed was humane.
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, the vast majority of people working in the fields didn't take Ziyu's warning seriously.
After all, they still believe more in this fellow villager with the name of a talented old man.
The purple jade that has left Yingkou Town only serves as a warning, and smart people will judge by themselves.
As long as one person believes, her words are useful.
