Chapter 20: I Want It All

Roman's 600 jin of maltose fetched a price of only 20 gold coins.

Morry brought 18 draft oxen and 28 draft horses.

Among them, the price of a draft horse was 7.5 silver coins.

28 draft horses were valued at 21 gold coins.

That is to say, the maltose Roman brought couldn't even exchange for the 28 draft horses.

On the other hand, the price of draft oxen was 5.5 silver coins, totaling 9.9 gold coins in value.

Draft horses are difficult to use in warfare, mostly used to transport supplies or pull carriages.

As Morry had once said, compared to draft oxen, draft horses have less endurance, lower physical strength, and are less efficient in plowing fields.

Long-term yoking to the draft horses makes it difficult for them to breathe and may even lead them to die suddenly.

For these reasons, the price of draft horses is not high and is far different from war horses.
