Chapter Seventy-Three: The Backing City

The potbelly porcelain jar is full of refined salt, and the fine salt grains and the snow-white inner wall of the porcelain jar reflect each other's white, all of which tell that this is an excellent quality refined salt.

Deng San was stupid, and he knelt on the ground and shouted injustice: "The military master knows that this is not our Qianfeng's business!" This product was moved in directly by the people from the magnetic kiln, and we didn't know it at all! Commander! Commander! What kind of person is I, Deng San, who has traveled so many times, you know, how can I do things that know the law and break the law! ”

Zhou Chengren kicked away Deng San, who was holding his thigh, and commanded a few of his subordinates with bright eyes to open a few boxes one after another, and laughed when he saw the salt piled up inside.

The master is really like a god, worship the master, thank the master! When you go back, you must give the master a stick of incense and say goodbye!

Zhou Chengren blew the trumpet he carried with him, a long and a short scream escaped, and the entire pass was suddenly silent, and the soldiers patrolling on the shore heard the extremely fast outflanking coming.

The lonely cargo ship was surrounded by layers of soldiers, and the ships that heard the horn sounded around them hid far away early in the morning, indicating that they had nothing to do with the people on board, leaving a group of unknown passengers and shipwrights at the bow of the ship to gather together as if they were mourning.

The highest governor of the military town is the mayor of the town, of course, the mayor of the town, who directly belongs to the emperor, is not worse than the head of the first government. The mayor of the town commands the military power of a town, and the mayor of the town is named after the twelve hours corresponding to the four levels of the twelve associations, standards, battalions, and teams, and Zhou Chengren is the small platoon commander under the ugly battalion and the ugly team of the ugly association.

Huang Zhiyong, the captain of the ugly team, hurried over when he heard the report from his subordinates like a cat smelling fish, whether it was catching a fugitive or someone carrying something that should not be transported, no matter which one was a good thing for them to get money.

Huang Zhiyong hurried over and saw a boat full of refined salt, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, salt and iron franchise, a few days ago, Shengshang just disposed of a group of salt dealers who ate inside and out, who was so bold to bump into it again. What a guts!

Huang Zhiyong didn't care how bold others were, and no matter how deep their background was, he waved his hand: "I'll be in prison, but I have to watch it!" Ran one and squatted in on top of it! ”

Deng San cried and shouted and was tied up, and the boatmen and passengers who shouted injustice on the bow of the boat were also pressed away one by one.

Of course, the Joy Master, who had already gone away, did not know what kind of huge organization he thought the salt dealers were. What will happen in the future?

Going down the river, seeing all the scenery along the way, I finally arrived at the mountain town.

There are still two months left before the Queen Mother's birthday, and Master Joy is not in a hurry. Second Master Liu was naturally not in a hurry, anyway, he had already sent another ship to bring the freight over.

The mountain village is a small place with dirt and slag at first sound, but when the village becomes a city, it suddenly rises tall.

I think that back then, the mountain city was still an extremely poor mountain village that relied on wild vegetables on the mountains to survive and dragged the entire Qingzhou Mansion back, since the North-South Grand Canal was repaired. With its unique geographical location, the mountain village has become a large hub city at the junction of the north and the south in one fell swoop, and has developed all of a sudden, from a small broken village to one of the top cities in Qingzhou Prefecture, and has become a bright pearl on the north-south Grand Canal.

People are more popular than dead people, and the people of Shanshui County are angry!

Originally, it was a place where poor bandits didn't come, but now there are canals, and everyone is developed, but it's only a day's journey away, and Shanshui County is still a county. The backer village has developed into a backing town. The cheap teammates who are also rice grains have become precious pearls, and the people of Yishanshui County are very envious, jealous and hateful to the people of the backing city.

But now we're not jealous.

Waiting for the waterway in the mountains to be built, it will naturally be better to become a mountain county at the intersection of the three places.

Looking at the bustling city in front of him, Liu Erye seemed to have seen the scene of Shanshui County decades later.

As the north-south distribution center, the natural goods are the most complete, Liu Erye wants to sell and buy here, and after knowing it, Master Xile also happily said that he would stay here for a while to find something.

Liu Erye's business is doing well, and he also knows a lot of friends in the backing city, so he found a merchant who specializes in managing boats to store the boat and then took a few people ashore.

The water is damp, and it is easy to cause moisture to enter the body after living for a long time. Eating and sleeping is naturally more convenient than on land.

Liu Erye's ability to do things is good, and he quickly rented a small yard and took everyone to move in.

Like most canal cities, the mountain town is a city with obvious high and low directions, and the northern part of the city is the most lively and bustling dock in the whole city. In the south, there are long-lived locals, and in the east and west, there are various shops that gather merchants and goods from all over the country.

Since Liu Erye arranged for several people to eat and live, he disappeared with the treasure golden abacus, and Du Xiaoxi was taken around the East and West City by Master Xile after a few days of rest.

Master Xile opened the way, and the senior brother Ning Jing and the sixth brother Du Zhiqian stood in a row with the two small ones in the middle on the left and right, and around them were a few mothers-in-law guards left by Second Master Liu to guard a few people tightly. A group of people are heading straight to the east of the market.

Although the people on the road were strange, a big monk was shopping with a group of children, but they could look at a large group of people. Especially in the middle, there is a half-grown boy with a noble face and a high chin that hates the sky, and he is far away.

"Master, where are we going?"

Senior brother Tranquility is an awkward character who does not accept the master's discipline, Liu Yao is a stuffy gourd who becomes dumb when he sees a living person, Du Zhiqian feels that he is more than familiar with the master's respect, and after walking for half an hour, Master Xile has not found a place to go, so the three of them pushed the youngest girl and asked the master this 'where to go question'.

The Master of Joy said without looking back: "From where you came from, go where you go." ”

After speaking, the master praised himself in his heart, the old man was really witty.

Du Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders and silently motioned to the four of them, 'The master doesn't tell me', and she couldn't do anything.

Just when Du Xiaoxi was worried about his little short legs, Master Xile, who was walking in front, finally reached out and stopped a middle-aged woman passing by.

"Amitabha, does the donor know where the grain of the mountain city is sold?"

The whole people of Dashang believe in Buddhism, the people have a natural belief in monks, the Buddha in the minds of the people of Dashang is to the fairy wind bones, white eyebrows fluttering as the top, round and white fat, big ears and smiling face second, although the appearance of the great monk of joy does not conform to the aesthetics of the monks of the time, out of respect for the Buddha was stopped by the woman or seriously returned the courtesy.

"Amitabha, just walk along this road for half an hour and turn right." The woman folded her hands and said reverently.

"Thank you, donor, good, good."

After thanking the woman, Master Joy led the people straight forward. Only then did everyone know where the Master of Joy was going.

However, the four of them looked at each other, what are they doing to buy food?

What the aunt said about going straight and turning is obviously different from what everyone understands, and when it really turns, the four of them are already tired of becoming dogs.

The picture changed abruptly, and the tall pedestrian street directly turned into a farmers' market.

The streets are more than ten meters wide and crowded with all kinds of small stalls on both sides, and not far from the stalls are shops with baskets at the door, the shouts of the vendors are accompanied by the clucking of chickens and ducks, and the whole street is noisy.

Seeing this lively scene, Master Xile nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to the guards beside him, and said, "Take care of them, follow closely, don't run around." With that, he raised his feet and walked towards the crowd.

Tranquility stared at a lump of not far away, unable to believe how she had come to such a filthy place.

Master Xile, who was walking in front, seemed to know what the big apprentice was thinking, and sneered: "If you don't want to follow, why bother?" ”

The agitation method is obviously very effective for the bear child and the young man in the second middle school, and Tranquility twisted his neck and strode to follow.

Du Xiaoxi, who was dragged by his senior brother to follow, complained in his heart, senior brother, my hand hurts, can you relax a little, but Du Xiaoxi, who knows that his senior brother's old background, doesn't have the courage to tease him when his senior brother is holding his breath and looking at death.

Master Joy walked along the row of small vendors on the far right, and every house had to carefully inspect the contents of each house, and after walking a few stalls, he did not see anything to buy, until he finally stopped after four or five stalls.

The lady who was guarding the stall saw Master Xile with a group of people stopping and greeting happily: "Master look at it, my family's seeds have been picked, and the growth is absolutely good." ”

More than a dozen cloth bags were placed on the stone road, and the bags were full of seeds such as wheat, peanuts, cotton, etc.

The climate difference between the north and the south of Dashang is very wide, but in February, the seedlings of Nanling have already been planted in the fields, and most places in the north are still snowing, and the spring sowing in the mountain city is a few days later than Shanshui County.

Farmers naturally have their own set of methods for farming, seed selection is the first thing, whose crops grow well this year, waiting for the harvest in the village and outside the village will be specially changed to retain some seeds. The price of seeds is higher than that of grain sales, and the eldest lady thinks that it is not cost-effective to eat the seeds that she has finally obtained and carefully selected, so she thinks about collecting the remaining seeds from the neighbors and selling them to the merchants in the north.

The monks of the Great Shang were involved in all walks of life, and one of them was the monks of the agricultural school who took 'farming and harvesting and art and millet as the foundation'. Master Xile was wearing only a monk's robe and ran over to look at the seeds, and the lady who sold the seeds took it for granted that Master Xile was a monk from the peasant school.

Master Xile shouted the Buddha's name, "Donor, these seeds are very good, Huaiming bought these seeds." ”

After the purchase, the Great Monk of Joy moved to another house to continue to buy seeds.

Du Xiaoxi and the four suddenly realized that the master was not buying grain, but buying seeds! Then I was confused, does the master want to farm?

The morning was spent in the process of buying seeds, and at this time, several guards were carrying dozens of pounds of various worn-out bags in their hands.

Seeing that a few of the little ones couldn't walk anymore, Master Joy also felt hungry, and with a wave of his big hand, he went to eat. (To be continued.) )
