The small soldiers on the frontier at the beginning killed Liu Ye, the Han God of War, and Lu Lingqi

Chapter 7: The name of the emperor is taboo, buying horses at the inn

"Uncle Li, may I ask if your name is Liu Hong today?"

"Pfft~"

Hearing Liu Ye's words, Uncle Li spit out the wine he had just put in his mouth.

"You...how dare you call His Majesty by his first name? This is a serious crime of beheading!"

Uncle Li looked around nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure no one was paying attention.

"Today I will treat you as drunken nonsense, and I will not dare to talk nonsense again in the future."

Uncle Li was afraid that Liu Ye would not understand the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly reminded him in a low voice.

"I understand, thank you Uncle Li for reminding me."

Liu Ye was also shocked by Uncle Li's reaction.

To be honest, as a modern person, although he knew that calling the emperor by his name would be taboo in ancient times, he never expected that the consequences would be serious enough to be beheaded, which was simply outrageous.

Fortunately, Uncle Li is not the kind of person who likes to go online, otherwise he would be in bad luck this time.

This also reminds Liu Ye that he can no longer behave according to modern thinking, otherwise it will be easy to fall into disgrace.

Fortunately, he finally got the information he wanted.

Since even the emperor's name is the same, then this world must be closely related to the great man in history.

It's just that there are slight differences in details. The force value in this world is hundreds of millions of points higher than imagined.

But none of this matters.

As the saying goes, small trends are reversible, but big trends cannot be changed.

As long as the larger historical process remains unchanged, there is room for maneuver.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Ye will be able to take advantage of the upcoming Yellow Turban Uprising to gain a lot of political capital.

Don't you see, those princes and kings in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, almost all of them made their fortune by slaying the Yellow Turban bandits.

As for Zhang Jiao, the early boss, his experience made those who heard it cry and those who heard it sad.

The huge Taiping Road has been turned into a super experience bag, and anyone can get a piece of it.

Liu Ye actually agrees with Zhang Jiao's philosophy, but it's a pity that the people below have gone astray.

What started as a petition for the people turned into seeking personal gain, eventually leading to a complete collapse.

It can only be said that if you take too big a step, it is indeed easy to lose your temper.

After this little episode, Uncle Li lost interest in continuing to drink. After chatting for a few words, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Liu Ye could only smile helplessly at this and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After all, money is spent and cannot be wasted.

After leaving the tavern, Liu Ye prepared to go to Yahang to buy a small courtyard.

Places like military camps are only suitable for temporary residence during wartime. Normally, you still have to find a more private place to live.

There is no way, there are too many secrets in him. If he lives with other people for a long time, it is inevitable that something abnormal will be discovered.

He had also looked through the memory of the original owner, but he could not find any fixed residence in Yanmen Pass, and he did not even know who his family members were.

Liu Ye's understanding of the original owner was limited to the time he joined the army.

As for the more distant memories, they are completely blank.

……

"Huh? This is...a inn?"

When Liu Ye walked past an inn, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"This military master, do you want to send a letter?"

As soon as Liu Ye entered, a postman came to greet him.

Even though the inn is an official organization, as the inn's clerk, the inn soldier is actually a handyman, no different from the waiter in the store.

"I'm not busy. I would like to know how your post usually sends letters?"

As Liu Ye spoke, he walked into the post station. Seeing that Liu Ye was wearing a military uniform, the post guard did not dare to stop him, so he could only apologize and said with a smile:

“For ordinary family letters, we usually use donkeys and mules.

If there is an emergency military situation, it is necessary to use rhinoceros to convey it. "

"Don't you have any war horses?"

"Master Jun is joking, our post station cannot afford war horses."

A war horse is different from a horse. Although they are both horses, they are completely different.

Simply put, a horse is a horse that has not evolved genetically.

Not only was it slow, but it was also incomparable to a real war horse in terms of defense. Therefore, it could not be used on the battlefield and could only be used as a means of transportation to deliver messages.

But this is what Liu Ye needs now.

The mission requirement of [New Riding Skills] is to ride a mount for 10 kilometers, but there is no specific requirement for the mount. Anyway, as long as it can ride and run, it will be fine.

He definitely couldn't afford a war horse, nor was he qualified to buy one, but he could try a rogue horse.

"Are the horses at your inn for sale? I want to buy one." Liu Ye directly explained his intention.

"This... you have to ask Master Yi Cheng about this matter. A young person can't make the decision." It was also the first time for this post guard to meet someone who came to the post station to buy horses, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Where is your Yi Cheng?"

"Who wants to see me?"

Suddenly, a shrill voice came from outside the door.

Then a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes and a mustache walked in, holding a teapot in his hand.

"Sir, this military master wants to buy a horse at our inn."

Seeing this man, the postman quickly ran over to help him.

"Oh? I wonder what position this military master holds in the army?" Seeing Liu Ye's extraordinary demeanor, Yi Cheng also had a hint of respect in his tone.

As we all know, in the border areas, the most difficult people to offend are the generals in the army. Even the county magistrate would not dare to offend them easily, let alone a Yi Cheng.

"This little guy is so talented, he's not worth mentioning." Liu Ye naturally knew what the other person was thinking, but he was too lazy to pull off the tiger's skin.

"Then how much do you plan to spend on my horse?"

Upon hearing that Liu Ye was just a junior, the Yi Cheng immediately felt that he was good again, and his tone of voice unconsciously raised a few points.

"I'll give you this number."

Liu Ye stretched out a finger.

"If it's one hundred taels, it's not impossible, but..."

"It's not a hundred taels, it's 10 taels." Liu Ye directly interrupted the other party's subsequent words.

Good guy, you dare to sell a horse for 100 taels, you are crazy about money, right?

"What? 10 taels! That's impossible, it can't be sold!"

"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions. If I'm not wrong, your inn hasn't been open for a long time, right?"

"So what?" Yi Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not deny it. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see this kind of thing.

"In that case, let me settle the account for you." Liu Ye glanced around, then picked up a firewood stick and started scratching on the ground.

"How many kilograms of grain does one of your horses consume every day?" Liu Ye raised his head and looked at Yi Cheng, who then turned to look at the postman.

"About 10 to 15 kilograms of food." The postman replied.

"Okay, let's assume that a horse consumes 10 kilograms of food every day, which is 300 kilograms in a month and 3650 kilograms in a year."

"The current market price of a pound of food is about 5 taels. In other words, if I buy a horse, your station can save money every year, nearly 2 taels of silver."

"Now, do you still think that 10 taels of silver cannot be sold?"

Liu Ye threw away the firewood stick in his hand, and then clapped his hands.

At this time, Yi Cheng was looking blankly at the numbers on the ground.

Although he couldn't understand some symbols, it didn't stop him from thinking that Liu Ye was cheating.

Although even a primary school student can do these calculations, to an ancient person who has never been exposed to this knowledge, it is completely a king-level existence.

It can be seen that the Yi Cheng has obviously been deceived by Liu Ye, so Liu Ye struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"What's more, I bought the horse to train my riding skills so that I can better protect our Yanmen Pass."

"In this way, I can train my riding skills and your station can also save money. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

In the end, Liu Ye relied on his sharp tongue to successfully persuade Yi Cheng and bought a yellow horse for 10 taels of silver.

Before leaving, Yi Cheng also thanked Liu Ye and expressed his deep greetings to the border officers and soldiers who were protecting their homeland and country.

The so-called not knowing is not unknown, but once you calculate it, you will be shocked.

Before that, he himself didn't know that he had to spend so much money every year to raise rhinoceros horses.

No wonder my wallet is getting shriveled day by day, it turns out that this is the root cause!

Looking at the three remaining horses in the stable, the postmaster was already thinking about when he could sell two more horses, so as not to worry about seeing them every day.

As for killing the meat seller, I wouldn't even dare to give him 10 courages.

Horses are also horses, and killing them privately is a serious crime.

This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Ye was able to convince Yi Cheng to sell the horse.

After all, you can't kill him, and you can't let him go. He still has to take care of him, which makes him a complete burden.

Liu Ye's appearance just freed him from the burden, and he could also make a fortune along the way. Why not?

At the same time, Liu Ye was leading the yellow horse towards the city gate.

There is no way, horse riding is not allowed in the city, and you can only go outside the city if you want to complete the task of [New Riding Skills].

"stop!"

However, when Liu Ye led his horse to the city gate, he was stopped by two city guards. They looked at Liu Ye warily, as if they were ready to pounce at any time.
