Zhan Zhumen

The tea and horse market on Yibang East Street is very lively.

There is a constant flow of people on the street, and cars and horses cannot enter.After leaving the inn, surrounded by the crowd, Huo Xi and his party had no choice but to walk there.

"Ma'am, this is really lively!"

"I can't even see it! I didn't expect that there are so many shops and so many people in a small town in the mountains! Look, that man's headdress is so beautiful, and his clothes are so beautiful. What kind of barbarian is this?"

Xun Wu invited Tongshi (translator) to introduce to everyone: "That is the Luoluo people. Most of them live in Qujing Prefecture. The Luoluo people live in the mountains and valleys, and they are richer than the Yi people who live in the mountains."

"It must be rich. Look at their headdresses, which are also inlaid with many beads and silver ornaments. They are more exquisitely dressed than other barbarians. They even have shoes on their feet."

Everyone followed Qiushuang's gaze, and it turned out that these Luo Luo, regardless of men and women, were wearing shoes, or hemp shoes, cloth shoes and straw sandals.Compared with some barbarians with bare feet, they must look richer.

"What is that?"

The invited director took the trouble to introduce to everyone along the way...

Shaking all the way, I saw enough excitement.The streets and alleys are full of barbarians and Han people who come to sell and buy goods with burdens and big baskets on their backs.Some people carry baskets that are taller than humans and have strange shapes. They contain all kinds of goods and are selling them along the street.

Seeing that Huo Xi and the others were dressed exquisitely, they all gathered around and asked.

I don't understand the language, so I don't know what the other party is talking about.

But it's rare to live with vanilla and others who like to go shopping and watch the scenery.There is no need for the general manager to help spread the word, gestures, the chicken and the duck talk and the business is negotiated.

For a short distance, several maids, even Mama Mama, were holding many things.

"Ma'am, these things are really interesting, I have never seen them before!"

"It hasn't even reached the mutual market, you bought so much, and you don't know how much money you can bring." Huo Xi teased them.

"It's okay, my family has brought enough money, and I can lend it to everyone. Otherwise, wouldn't there be madam and steward Xun Wu?"

The master and servant walked through the crowd talking and laughing, all the way to the tea-horse fair.

Before a few people approached, a smell of cow and horse dung rushed towards him, making people uncomfortable.

"Ah, what is this, the smell is so strong!"

The girls wanted to cover their noses, but found that their hands were full of things.He wanted to retreat, but was attracted by the bustle in front of him.

Huo Xi took out her handkerchief and covered half of her face.Suddenly it tastes better.

Seeing this, several people followed suit.

It's not too weird to dress like this, there are all kinds of barbarian people, all kinds of headdresses and costumes, there are all kinds of strange things, and there are people in all kinds of clothes.They are not conspicuous at all.

"Ma'am, there are horse sellers and all kinds of livestock over there, let's go and have a look?" Xun Wu suggested.

"Go and see what those are doing. Ma'am, let's go and see other things?" The livestock area smells so strong that the girls don't even want to go there.

"The tea-horse market was originally a place where we sold tea and other people sold horses. Later, other goods were gradually sold. Without horses and other livestock, it is still called a tea-horse market?" Huo Xi moved towards the livestock area while talking. step.

Everyone couldn't keep up.

In addition to places like Xifan Xiqiang and the Western Regions, Yunnan also produces horses.However, this horse breed seems to be very different from the horses in places like Western Regions...

"Haha, ma'am, there are still such short horses. Is it an adult?"

"It's so fun, so docile!"

The short horses in the stables in front of them looked like dwarfs compared to the tall horses in the other side of the West, and the girls couldn't help laughing.

Xun Wu explained with a smile: "This is called a short-footed horse. It is a unique horse breed in our Yunnan area. These few horses have grown up. Horse breeds are like this, they only grow so tall."

"Only this tall? Then I can ride without being supported. But I'm so short, what's the use of buying these horses?"

Huo Xi, a short-legged horse, knew him, and said with a smile, "Don't look at the small size of the Yunnan horse, but it has strong hoofs, can carry heavy loads, and is good at traveling long distances. No other horse is as good as him for long-distance transportation. Look at the mountainous roads in Yunnan. The road is not easy to walk, but these short-legged horses carry people and loads, and I heard that they can walk for dozens of miles without sweating."

"Madam is very right. This is the first-class horse in our Yunnan. The neighboring countries of Laos, Champa, and De Leng have traveled thousands of miles to purchase them." Xun Wu said proudly.

"Really? Is this pony so good?"

The girls immediately took a closer look, seeing that these short-legged horses are very docile, they couldn't help but want to touch them.

The horse dealer who sold the horses understood what Huo Xi and the others said, and praised with an accent: "My lord is a man of knowledge. Our horses look unremarkable and cannot be bought by the Tea Horse Company as war horses, but the people who carry them Don't delay at all, do you want to buy a few horses?"

These noble people know that they are very rich at a glance, and they must be able to afford it.The horse dealer was secretly happy.

Huo Xi smiled, "This horse is not bad, I'll look at it more, compare and match, and I'll look for you again."

The horse dealer was a little disappointed, "That's okay, the nobleman will look at it more, and he will definitely come to me again to buy it. I come every episode, and everyone who comes here knows me. No one knows that I sell the best horses."

Huo Xi nodded and smiled at him, and walked away.

"It seems that there are no good horses for sale?" After looking around, Huo Xi asked Xun Wu.I thought I could see a bloody BMW or something.

"Yes, they are all middle and bad horses. The good horses have long been kept as tribute, or traded with the tea horse company. They will not flow to the market. In fact, the middle horses are also good, but they are older. The bad horses are also good. It’s not bad, it’s only worse than good horses, but it’s older. It’s good to buy back to pull a cart and ride. The horses of Xifan Xiqiang are still much better than mine. .”

Huo Xi nodded, seeing that there were quite a lot of people around the stables of the Fanren, it seemed that these horses were still very popular.Bought and shipped to all parts of the Central Plains, the nobles of various aristocratic families also want to snatch it.

Then there are good horses and bad horses, isn't it better than traveling in an ox cart?More face?
In addition to horses, there are also various livestock in the market.There are mostly cattle and sheep, which are different from those in the Central Plains.

"This cow's hair is so long!"

"This sheep is also full of hair!"

The general manager around him explained everyone's confusion: "Cows are called yaks, and the beef is very delicious. Before it could be transported to the Central Plains, it was snatched by the nobles of Yunnan to eat meat. Sheep are called long-haired sheep, and many Yi people even specialize in it. Find this kind of sheep to buy, cut off the wool and sew it into winter clothes, which will keep you warm in winter.”

Everyone couldn't help but look around in amazement, and even the expressionless Zhufeng couldn't help but look sideways.

The Fans sold livestock and various livestock products.

Dairy products, ghee, fur, felt, dried meat of various colors... through the mountain road and across the river, they are transported all the way to exchange for cloth, food, medicinal materials, tea, salt, sugar, and various utensils.

The bazaar is very large, there are many small merchants and hawkers, there are stalls but there are no stalls, sellers and buyers, it is difficult to turn around when the bazaar is crowded.

All kinds of people, all kinds of clothes, mixed with all kinds of accents, it was very lively.

"Ma'am, Manager Xun Wu said that all the cloth we brought has been sold out! There are also fresh flower sauce and mushroom sauce brought over to test the water, and they have also sold at high prices!"

"Oh? Flower sauce and mushroom sauce are sold at a high price? Let's go and have a look."

"Madam, go this way. There are too many people here." A few maids led the way.

Huo Xi took a step after Ma Momo made a mistake, and suddenly felt her hand loosen Huo Xi, and turned her head to see, there was no one there! "lady!"

lady?

"Ma'am!" Vanilla panicked and went limp, "Chasing the wind!" she kept calling, her voice trembling, mixed with panic and crying.

Because it is a story about the Ming Dynasty, I did a little research on the history of the Ming Dynasty.Discovered many interesting places.

For example, the names of the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family.I don't know if there is something wrong with the five elements. The names of each generation are inseparable from gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

For example, in Zhu Di's generation, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Zi, Zhu Zhu... Zhu Yuanzhang's 26 sons, without exception, lack wood in the five elements.

In the generation of Zhu Di's nephews, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu (a little knowledge, four points of water is also a deformed word for fire), Zhu Gaojiao, and Zhu Di's brothers and sons, Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunxi, etc., are all without exception.

In Zhu Zhanji's generation, there is a lack of soil.Zhu Zhanyu, Zhu Zhantan, Yong, 垲, 埏, 圻, 垍... not only Zhu Di's grandson lacks soil, but his brothers' grandsons are all words next to soil.

Zhu Zhanji's son, Zhu Qizhen, Qiyu.His nephews, Zhu Gongxuan, Zhu Gongxi, etc., are all short of gold.Then Zhu Qizhen's sons, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianpei, etc., were short of water again.

When Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, lacked wood, his son Zhu Cihong changed from wood to fire again, and it was a new round.

In the same fire, Zhu Yunxuan set himself on fire in the palace, but no bones were found. When Zhu Cihong arrived here, he disappeared in the rebellion army, but there were no bones either.interesting.

The Chinese characters of our Great China are extensive and profound. If Daming passed it on for a few more generations, I’m afraid there will be no Chinese characters for these princes and grandchildren, haha~
