Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 586 First visit to Cuiwei Palace

The fine yellow chestnut horse given by the emperor has the word "ci" printed on the left cheek and three flowers printed on the right side of the tail, indicating that it is a fine horse and a second horse from Zhu Youxian's birth.

On miscellaneous horses, the characters "wind" or "fly" are printed on the left thigh (leg).

Therefore, Fan Zheng also asked Sun Jiu and Lei Jiu to go to Dongshi and buy some fine horses for Lei Qi and others.

No way, Fan Zheng can't be allowed to gallop on horseback, Lei Qi and the others fight for their feet, they are not called Wang Heng.

In the entire Dunhuafang, only Sun Jiu knew the most about animal husbandry.

The old thief Sun Jiu was also very aggressive in bargaining. Four four-year-old fine horses, plus the public inspection certificate, were only 220 yuan.

Bu Yi was promoted to be the order of the East City of Taifu Temple, and he was no stranger to Sun Jiu, so the people under him handled things much faster.

It's like this when you go to the Yamen to do business. It's much smoother to have acquaintances than complete strangers.

This is a humane society. There is nothing you can do about it, and it cannot be changed even after repeated orders. If you do not deliberately make things difficult for the people, you have to thank the officials for their great virtues.

As for Wannian County citizen Cao being admitted to the Six Animals Register, it was even more surprising.

Wannian Wei Gou'an personally supervised Si Hushi and made sure the naturalization of these four fine horses was done properly.

Even if Gou An didn't recognize Sun Jiu, he could always recognize Lei Jiu who was following him. This was an obvious opportunity to please Shangguan, and he was doing it at no cost, so why not?
As for why Lei Jiu was sent out, hehe, Mo Dang Chang'an City is so peaceful.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, even the exhausted government servants and Marquis Wu can't help Haiyan Heqing.

Therefore, those who say that the world is peaceful at every turn, and those who say that they sing and dance to promote peace, can be punished.

As for the registration of the fine horse, it is actually printed on the body, and the four characters "Huarong Houfu" on the horse are proof of identity.

"Hey, a five-year-old fine horse can get more than eighty guan."

Sun Jiu asked for credit.

Not only to show Fan Zheng his abilities, but also to make his mother-in-law, Wei Wuji, despise him as useless.

The older you are, the more you have to show your ability so as not to be hated by others.

Fan Zheng asked a rare question: "How can you tell the difference between four and five ages?"

Sun Jiu showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, narrowed his eyes, and was quite proud: "A horse with four teeth has two teeth, five years and four teeth, six years and six teeth..."

It should be noted that this statement only refers to incisors and single rows.

Including molars and canines, a fine horse usually has 36 teeth, and a Dun horse usually has [-] teeth.

Then, the teeth are gapped, the teeth are jiù, and the teeth are flat. A knowledgeable person can accurately judge the age of the horse.

There is a big price difference between four-year-old horses and five-year-old horses. The reason is that five-year-old horses are mature horses and can be used for riding, drafting, and plowing.

Four-year-old horses are between the two, and the price fluctuates greatly.

It's okay to use, just don't overdo it.

"It seems that Gao Kan, the lieutenant general of Youxiao Weiyi's mansion, was conquering the Turks. The nose of the chariot surrendered without a fight. Ashina Hubo fled with a small number of troops and did not even fight."

"Therefore, the Turkic tribes rushed to the Tang Dynasty to sell cattle and horses, and four-year-old horses were also sold."

"A five-year-old fine horse must have at least a hundred quills in the past."

Fan Zheng's smile bloomed.

Gao Kan's number of shots is not many in history, and he has made great achievements. He is also one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the nose of the car, hehe, although it is small and powerful, it is nothing but a car with the arms of a mantis in front of the general trend.

Turkic tribes competed to sell cattle and horses, not only in exchange for grain and ironware, but also to show that they had no dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty.

The Turkic people's smelting skills are also good, but pig iron is a fatal threshold, and Datang is not willing to sell pig iron out of the country.

At five o'clock, the gate of the workshop was wide open, and Fan Zheng led Lei Qi and Lei Jiu to come out with horizontal sabers and barrier sabers, and left the city from Mingde Gate, walking forward by the faint starlight.

There are officials' horses in front of them walking slowly, and the two wind lanterns they are lighting can barely see within five steps, which is not much different from borrowing starlight.

It was probably because the other party was getting older and his eyesight had declined. Fan Zheng didn't need this light anyway.The morning dew gradually condenses and slides down on the body, taking away the body's warmth bit by bit.

It stands to reason that the situation would be much better if there was an oilcloth robe hanging outside.

However, the journey of about forty miles is outside the city, and the tarpaulin will definitely affect the agility of the body.

Anyway, Fan Zheng is young, so keep it up.

At dawn, Fan Zheng glanced at Lei Qi, Lei Qi whistled, and the group of five cavalry gradually picked up speed, surpassing the ranks of court officials one by one.

The sun rises and heats up, while the mountains cool down. Rounding off, it’s almost equal to no warming at all.

I don't know when the white cuckoo plum was planted on the side of the road, and the tender green shoots have just emerged. Fan Zheng's hands itch to see it, and he wants to grab a handful and go back to steam noodles to eat.

That's right, the flowers and young leaves of Baijuanmei can be steamed or boiled with noodles, salted, or dried.

Apricot trees and chestnut trees popped up from time to time, causing Fan Zheng to laugh.

"Lei Qi, remember to remind me to buy chestnuts and almonds back home."

Tsk tsk, I have no ambitions, I just think about eating.

In a corner of the roadside, there was a statue of an Arhat that could not be seen in its original form, which was incompletely washed away by the rain.

"Hey, where does it look like?"

Fan Zheng was a little surprised.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who came slowly, laughed: "I don't know how to learn, I don't know if the Taihe Palace was abandoned and changed to Longtian Temple?"

Longtian Temple, I seem to have heard this name somewhere.

Fan Zheng thought about it for a quarter of an hour, but he still didn't remember that Wo Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and Temple, said with a smile: "Fa Lin."

Fan Zheng was enlightened.

Monk Falin, isn't this the most deadly monk in Datang?

Li Shimin arranged for him to translate the scriptures with Bopo and installed him as the master of Longtian Temple, but his "Bian Zheng Lun" dared to say that Li Shimin's family originated from Xianbei.

You smashed the pot after eating, but if you didn't screw Falin, the Emperor Zhenguan had a big heart.

The owner of the temple is all married, and Longtian Temple is naturally abandoned.

As the doctor of the ancestral hall in charge of teaching Buddhism, Wo Chan is of course a treasure.

It's strange to say that among the many officials Fan Zheng knew, he was the only one who couldn't move his nest no matter what.

However, Wo Chan himself doesn't care much about rank and position, and it is his greatest wish to be able to become an official as a doctor in the temple department.

It's not that Wo Hao doesn't have ambitions, but more than ten years have passed, and his original ambitions have long since faded into nothing. If he waits for another ten years, he will have grandchildren!

Cuiwei Palace, the main entrance opens to the north, named Yunxia Gate.

The court hall is named Cuiwei Hall, and the sleeping hall is named Hanfeng Hall.

There is also the Prince's Palace, with the main entrance opening to the west, named Jinhua Gate, and the hall named Xi'an Palace.

The style of the entire building complex is the same as that of the early Tang Dynasty. It looks gorgeous on the outside, but it is not luxurious.

Just look at the Renzhi Palace in Phoenix Valley, Yijun County, Yongzhou. "The main hall is covered with tiles and the rest is covered with thatched roofs." It is enough to understand the frugal philosophy of the first and second generations of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

I just want to enjoy it thoroughly and I can’t let it go!
As for the king behind him, he may not feel bad.

Bowls of ginger soup and millet porridge were served by the food supervisor of Guanglu Temple Taiguan Office.

Because his father-in-law and brother-in-law were all in Guanglu Temple, Fan Zheng asked about it and called him a good guy.

Not to mention the officials of the Taiguan Office, there are 400 people serving meals!
Du Kan's office is in the Liangying Department, and there are only a hundred people in total.
