第7章 天子名讳，驛站买马

【骑术萌新】的任务要求是骑著坐骑跑10公里，可也没规定是什么坐骑，反正只要能骑能跑就行。

战马他肯定是买不起，也没那个资格买，不过駑马倒是可以试试。

“你们驛站的駑马卖吗，我想买一头。”刘燁直接说明来意。

“这……这事得问驛丞大人，小的可做不了主。”这名驛卒也是第一次遇到有人跑驛站买马的，一时间有些不知所措。

“你们驛丞在哪？”

“谁要找本官？”

突然，门外传来一道有些尖细的声音。

隨后就见一名身穿锦衣，留著两撇八字鬍的中年男人走了进来，手里还托著一只茶壶。

“大人，这位军爷想在咱们驛站买一匹駑马。”

看见这人，驛卒连忙小跑过去將其搀住。

“哦？不知这位军爷在军中是何职位？”见刘燁气度不凡，驛丞的语气中也带著一丝恭敬之意。

眾所周知，在边关之地，最不好惹的就是军中的那些將领，哪怕是县太爷都不敢轻易招惹，更別提他一个驛丞了。

“小小一名什长，不值一提。”刘燁自然知道对方心里在想些什么，不过他也懒得扯什么虎皮。

“那不知阁下打算多少钱买我的马？”

一听刘燁只是个什长，这位驛丞立马感觉他又行了，语调都不自觉地抬高了几分。

“我出这个数。”

刘燁伸出一根手指。

“一百两的话，倒也不是不行，只不过……”

“不是一百两，是10两。”刘燁直接打断了对方后面的话。

好傢伙，駑马都敢卖100两，想钱想疯了是吧。

“什么？10两！那不可能，卖不了！”

“別这么急著下定论，如果我没猜错的话，你们驛站已经很久没开过张了吧？”

“是又如何？”驛丞双眼微眯，倒也没有否认，毕竟这种事明眼人都能看出来。

“既然如此，那我给你好好算一笔帐。”刘燁左右扫视一眼，隨后拿起一根柴火棍开始在地上划拉。

“请问你们一匹駑马每天消耗几斤粮食？”刘燁抬头看向驛丞，而驛丞则是转头看向那名驛卒。

“约莫10斤到15斤食料。”驛卒回答。

“好，那就假设一匹駑马每日消耗10斤食料，一个月就是300斤，一年便是3650斤。”

“目前一斤食料的市场价在5钱左右，也就是说，我买走一匹駑马，你们驛站每年都能节省18250钱，將近2两白银。”

“现在，你还觉得10两白银不能卖吗？”

刘燁將手中柴火棍一丟，隨后拍了拍手。

而此时的驛丞，则是呆呆地看著地上的数字。

虽然有些符號他看不懂，但並不妨碍他觉得刘燁很流弊就是了。

別看这些算数连小学生都能算，但对一个从未接触过这些知识的古人来说，完全就是王炸级的存在。

可以看到，这位驛丞明显已经被刘燁忽悠瘸了，於是刘燁趁热打铁，接著道：

“更何况，我买駑马回去也是为了训练骑术，以便更好地守护咱们雁门关。”

“如此一来，我既训练了骑术，你们驛站也节省了开支，岂不两全其美？”

最终，刘燁凭藉自己的三寸不烂之舌，成功说服了驛丞，以10两白银买到了一匹黄色駑马。

临走前，驛丞还好好感谢了刘燁一番，並对保家卫国的边关將士们表达了深切问候。

所谓不算不知道，一算嚇一跳。

在此之前，他自己都不知道每年竟然需要那么多钱来饲养駑马。

怪不得自己的钱包日益乾瘪，原来根源在这！

看著马厩里剩余的三匹駑马，这位驛丞大人心里已经盘算著啥时候能再卖出去两头，省得每天看著闹心。

至於说杀了卖肉，就是给他10个胆子也不敢。

駑马那也是马，私自宰杀是重罪。

这也是刘燁能说服驛丞卖马的根本原因。

毕竟杀又不能杀，放又不能放，还得好生伺候著，完全成了累赘。

刘燁的出现正好替他摆脱了累赘，还能顺道赚一笔，何乐而不为？

与此同时，刘燁这边正牵著黄马朝城门的方向走去。

没办法，城內不允许骑马，想完成【骑术萌新】的任务只能去城外。

“站住！”

然而当刘燁牵著马来到城门口时，却被两名守城士卒给拦住了，並且一脸警惕看著刘燁，好像隨时准备扑过来。
