"Black market, why is Miss Sugizuki interested in this?"

Feng Shanyue smiled, "This trip was originally to see how others do business, I have long heard of the border black market, and I want to go and see it when I have the opportunity." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ding Maoqiu nodded, it is understandable that business-minded people would pay attention to the border black market, after all, there are opportunities to make a lot of money hidden here. He whispered: "Although the border black market is good, there are conditions for entering. The first is that the capital must be sufficient, and the second is that there must be acquaintances. But it doesn't matter, if you come with me, I will say that you are all my juniors, and you will come out with me to learn to do business. Once you're familiar with it, you can trade on the black market on your own. ”

"Master, what is this black market for? Why is it so mysterious?"

"I think you also know that our Fire Phoenix Country and Ma Fang Country have a bad relationship, and they have been fighting all the time. But the war must be fought, and the common people must also dress and eat. The country is dominated by grasslands, mainly producing cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, but there is a shortage of grain and cloth. And our Fire Phoenix Country happens to be rich in these two, but it doesn't produce horses, I heard that even the horses of the cavalry during the war were purchased from the neighboring Quchi Country. Quchi took the opportunity to raise the price, and our lord spent a lot of money every year to buy horses. Because of this, the business of the border black market is particularly good, although it is risky, but it is also highly rewarding. Let's put it this way, if you can successfully bring back an adult horse from Ma Fangguo, the money you earn will be enough for a family of six to live for a year. ”

Feng Shanyue frowned, "Since our Fire Phoenix Kingdom needs horses so much, why don't we breed them ourselves?"

"Why not?" Ding Maoqiu took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and continued: "But I don't know why, even if we bring back adult stallions and mares from the country of Ma Fang or Quchi, the cubs born are always weak, and it would be good to be able to pull a cart when they grow up, and they can't go to the battlefield at all." Therefore, war horses still have to be bought from other countries. ”

"What's going on? Could it be that the water and soil are not adapted?" Feng Shanyue frowned and thought about the reason, but Nie Panshi couldn't wait. He said eagerly to Ding Maoqiu, "Master, when are we going to the black market?"

Ding Maoqiu smiled at him soothingly and said, "Don't worry, the black market is ugly when it's open, and it's still early." After eating, you will go to the hotel where I am staying to rest for a while, and when the time is up, we will depart. ”

"So early?" Nie Panshi stuck out his tongue, and the transaction was indeed a black market!

At night, Ding Maoqiu took Feng Shanyue and others from their residence, holding torches and walking towards the mountains and forests in the east of the town. Along the way, Feng Shanyue saw many torches coming out of all parts of the town, all heading to the mountains and forests.

"Uncle Ding, are all of these people going to the black market?"

Ding Maoqiu nodded, "Because the black market is opened very early, most of the people who come to the black market to trade will go to the town to live first, and when the time comes, they will go there." You see that everyone lights torches, so this black market is often called a ghost market. By the way, when you get to the black market later, you can't talk about the black market or the ghost market, according to the rules, you have to call a field. We don't go to do business, it's called passing hands or eyes. It's a look, and it's a deal. If you say something wrong, others will know that you are a green head and will sell you for a high price. ”

"Is there still black talk in this black market?" Feng Shanyue was very surprised.

"Black words?" Ding Maoqiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, and chuckled, "You're right, isn't it just black talk! ”

Feng Shanyue and the three of them nodded, becoming more and more curious about the black market.

After walking for more than half an hour, the torches in front of me became more and more dense, and it seemed that they were coming. Following the torch Changlong, Feng Shanyue and the others arrived at a checkpoint first, and more than a dozen men stood with spears in the way, and two people stood in front of them, questioning the people who entered.

Feng Shanyue asked curiously, "Uncle Ding, what is this for?"

Ding Maoqiu replied while moving forward with the team: "Didn't I tell you? One of the two conditions for entering the field is to have enough capital. These two people just see if you have the capital. ”

"If you don't have money, you can't go in?" Shouldn't market transactions be free and voluntary? Feng Shanyue still had the concept of the modern market in her mind.

"Of course. If the transaction is successful, Cui Ye will have to take a cut, and if you have no money on you, won't Cui Ye be able to collect the money?

"Who is Cui Ye?"

"Shhhh Therefore, in order to make money here, everyone is willing to let Cui Ye take a cut. ”

This sounds like a bully in the modern market, and it seems that this evil path is the same as the right path, and there have been people walking since ancient times. Feng Shanyue stopped talking and moved forward after Ding Maoqiu. Soon, Ding Maoqiu arrived in front of the checkpoint.

"Old Qiu, why is this so rare!" One of the two people in charge of the interrogation, with fox eyes, greeted Ding Maoqiu with a warm smile. The other person reached into the money bag that Ding Maoqiu took the initiative to open and touched it, and then nodded.

"There's been a lot of going on at home lately, and I haven't been to the venue for a long time. Ding Maoqiu also smiled, it seems that he is an old acquaintance.

"Are these people with you?" Foxeye asked.

"Yes, they are all my sons and nephews, come with me for a long time, and they are all my heads. ”

"Okay! Old Qiu has four heads, pay the bill in front!" After speaking, the fox eye put Ding Maoqiu and the others in, and began to interrogate the next one.

Feng Shanyue watched Ding Maoqiu put the four small shellfish into the clay basin held by a person in front of her, and then followed him inside.

When he arrived at a place where there were few people, Nie Panshi couldn't wait to ask, "Master, why did you give him so much money?" You must know that a small shell can be exchanged for three buckets of grain, and these four small shellfish are enough for an ordinary family to eat for three months.

"It's a capitation fee. Everyone is a small shell, this is Cui Ye's rules. ”

Feng Shanyue hurriedly said: "I can't let Uncle Ding break the bank, I also brought shell coins." As he spoke, he went to the purse to get it.

Ding Maoqiu stopped her, "I haven't repaid you for saving your life, what do you care about with me for this money? I just buy goods here, go back and sell them, and the money is there." ”

Feng Shanyue wanted to say something, but Nie Panshi pulled Ding Maoqiu and asked, "Master, why did that person call you Qiu Laoqi just now? Aren't you surnamed Ding?"

"Oh, this is also the rule, you can't call your name here, because there are people doing any business in this place, both bright and dark, and everyone doesn't want to fall into the hands of others, generally just take a word out of the name and call it so-and-so. ”

Nie Panshi nodded, turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Bao, and said playfully: "Bao Laoqi!"

Ah Bao also learned from him to squeeze his eyes, "Shi Laoqi!"

Feng Shanyue was amused by them, and Ding Maoqiu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in!"

Feng Shanyue and the others turned their heads, and everything in front of them stunned them!
