First Section 373
Hu Jun and a group of officials walked into the racecourse, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the endless racecourse invaded everyone's ears.
People don't practice decadence, and horses don't run and grow fat.
The reason why the Turkic war horses were able to overpower Dalong and the Kingdom of Jin was because of the right time and place. The grassland was a natural horse farm, with windy pastures and a vast area, allowing the horses to gallop like the wind, without the restrictions of the other two countries.
The war horses produced are naturally strong and strong. It is a pity that the fat Heshuo Grassland has not belonged to the Han family for a long time after the war, otherwise it would not be so behind the Turks in terms of war horses.
Gently fanning the dust and smoke in front of him, Hu Jun took out a weird-looking musical instrument and put it in his mouth.
A melodious and majestic sound sounded, and the sound of the horses' hooves in the racecourse gradually weakened, and the dust and smoke slowly dissipated.
Facing the smoke and dust, he galloped forward and stopped steadily in front of a group of people. A man dressed as a Turkic man with a long bow on his back and a machete at his waist said, "Princess Zhebieshu joins."
"You don't have to be polite, Commander Jebe, get up."
"Thank you princess."
"Commander Jebe, these are the officials from the Kingdom of Jin who came to meet the horses. Let the men let go of their horses and wander around so that these adults can meet the horses."
"Follow the order."
Zhebieshu responded with a punch and rode away.
"My lords, let your horse masters work hard."
Long Duo looked at each other loosely, nodded slightly, waved his hand loosely, and immediately five or sixty people walked out behind him and walked towards the inside of the racecourse.
"Princess, let's sit here and discuss the price. You and I can feel at ease if we settle the deal as soon as possible. What does the princess think?"
"Okay, this princess and Lord Long's thoughts coincide with each other."
Immediately, someone spread a clean cloth on the floor and set a clean table, and a group of people sat on the ground, drinking warm wine.
Rondo put down his wine glass: "Princess, in fact, Turkic has traded with the Kingdom of Jin so many times, we naturally believe in your reputation, and finding horses is just a process. I believe that these war horses are the best horses in a hundred, but the price is low. Can't we coordinate a little bit?"
Hu Jun fiddled with the wine bottle in his hand: "Master Long, the war horses of the Huyan tribe are in short supply no matter where they are, and there is no market for them, because our two countries have diplomatic relations for decades, and the war horses traded with the Kingdom of Jin are already the lowest price Yes, Master Long is not clear about it."
Song He also put down the wine glass in his hand: "Princess, the Grand Master has no doubts about your sincerity, it is true that Jin Guo has spent too much to support the Du Lu Department these years, and the treasury is difficult to support. I really can't afford so many war horses in Dajin Kingdom, I hope the princess will understand our difficulties."
Hu Jun rubbed his fingers lightly, and raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about a price first, my princess, how about it?"
Rondo reached out to signal a price.
Hu Jun's expression froze, and he put the wine bottle in his hand on the table with a snap: "Masters, are you playing tricks on me when you see this princess is young? This is an adult Turkic war horse, not a dragon dynasty horse." Those war horses are not pony, you really dare to speak for 80 taels of silver."
"If the princess is dissatisfied, you can add points appropriately. The most important thing in buying and selling is negotiation. The Kingdom of Jin asks for prices, and the princess pays back the money after landing. A qualified price can always be negotiated."
Hu Jun got up and stood up: "Turkish war horses sold to Dalong can be worth about 150 taels of silver, and sold to Jin Guo people for 100 taels because we support each other, but you offer 80 taels for a high-quality war horse. Are you trying to deceive me that the Huyan tribe is ignorant?"
"Princess, the price you mentioned is the price of smuggling to Dalong. If it is a normal business, the Turkic war horses are only about 120 taels of silver. How about 90 taels of silver? If there is more, the Kingdom of Jin is really helpless. The princess can only drive these war horses back. , it’s not that Jin Guo doesn’t want to make friends with your ministry, it’s really powerless.”
Hu Jun looked at the officials of Jin Kingdom coldly: "Are you threatening the princess?"
Rondo shook his head slightly: "The princess was joking, a business transaction is one willing to fight and one willing to suffer. Jin Guo can't eat so many war horses. If you force them to Jin Guo, Jin Guo still can't eat them."
Song He also nodded in agreement: "Princess, the grand master is right. We will lower the price of this batch of war horses. The next batch of war horses will be traded when Jin Guo is rich, and Jin Guo will make up the price difference for your ministry. What does the princess think?"
"My princess wants to see His Majesty Jin."
"Well, Your Majesty has a lot of work to do every day, and I really don't have time to meet the princess today."
Hu Jun put his hands behind his back and looked domineeringly at the officials of the Kingdom of Jin: "If the Emperor Jin does not receive this princess, this princess will transport this batch of war horses to the northern border of Dalong. The supply of 120 taels should be in short supply. Buy and sell, you have to take it." Show some sincerity, love can't be used as money."
A group of officials looked at each other and made eye contact, then nodded lightly: "When Master Ma comes back, we will go to the palace to meet the saint."

Chapter 435 Take You to Pretend x Take You to Fly
"Brother, what's the matter? Is anyone following us?"
On a trail in the north of the capital city, a carriage was swaying. Liu Dashao, Song Qinglu and Wuming rode on the horses and chatted while walking as if they were sightseeing.
Song Qing looked back and took out the binoculars to look around, got off the horse and listened quietly with his ears on the ground.
Young Master Liu had heard about this ability of the ancients for a long time, and always thought it was just a rumor, and he didn't make any fuss after seeing it a lot.
It's just that it still feels very miraculous. When the horses are galloping, their footsteps are so chaotic, and it's incredible how many people and horses can be heard from the vibrations on the ground.
It is so accurate that it makes people speechless, and the general judgment will not make a mistake of about two horses.
In Song Qing's words, his ability is just a rudimentary skill for the old people in the army. A real capable person can accurately judge the number of enemies from several miles away.
Saying that there are ten horses, there will never be one more or one less, this is the skill.
There is no skill at all, it all depends on experience, and it has to be amazing.
"No one is following us. Perhaps the people of the Kingdom of Jin thought there was no need for us to escape, so they didn't send anyone to follow us."
"That's good, that's good. It's really uncomfortable to always feel like a glow on your back under the eyes of others."
Lu Wuming looked at the remote wilderness around him: "Lord Liu, what are we going to do here? The Turkic war horses seem to be locked up in the horse farm west of the capital. Isn't it the opposite if we go north?"
Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly. How did Lu Wuming's IQ learn so many languages: "The intention of rushing directly to the west is too obvious, and the transaction of tens of thousands of horses must be countless. The passers-by are the eyeliners planted by the Kingdom of Jin and the Turks, we can only take a detour and go from other places."
"Third brother, it may not be appropriate to detour through this road. According to the map records, there is a natural barrier to the northwest of the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. The swampland stretches for more than ten miles. The Kingdom of Jin is too cold, and there are some thin accumulations. The snow has not yet melted, if we accidentally enter the swamp, we will have to explain it today."
Liu Mingzhi took out the binoculars and looked at it: "Master Lu, brother, take a closer look, the place a few miles away is deserted, and there is not even a single footprint of a wild animal. It is most likely the area of the swamp. The vigilance is much better than ours."
Song and Qing also looked in the direction Liu Dashao was pointing at, and they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"Third brother, it's no wonder that the guards at the north gate of the west gate of the capital city of the Kingdom of Jin are so empty. With this swamp, tens of thousands of troops are not enough to fill it. If you take a detour, you will be spotted by the scouts of the Kingdom of Jin. You can immediately establish a defense line. The guy who built the city back then was a character."
"That's right, look, my lords, the swamp is crescent-shaped and protects the west and north half of the capital city of the Kingdom of Jin. When there is an enemy attack, you can concentrate your troops on the east and south to defend and attack. Set up camp outside the city, otherwise you will lose your way."
"Otherwise! "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that you will die and live later. If I am the main offensive general, I will definitely place a surprise soldier here. Unexpected effect, but it can’t be done unless it’s absolutely necessary, it’s filling the city with human life.”
"Third brother, don't talk about these useless things. How should we detour to the racecourse in the west of the city to find out clearly, or try to destroy this transaction as much as possible."
"Where to go around, just fly over."
"Third brother, do you have a fever? Even I can only take ten breaths in the air without landing. Wouldn't it be a dream to fly over?"
Lu Wuming also looked at First Young Master Liu hesitantly, apparently not believing what Young Master Liu said.
Flying over, since ancient times, how many people have longed to be able to soar in the sky like a bird, but looking at the ancient and modern times, how many people can get their wish.
"Hiss, whoops."
