Every morning, is a new beginning, there is also a new hope, when the red sun rises from the misty mountains, Yun Zheng will lead the convoy to the last section of the Golden Bull Road.

If you don't know the future, then you can step out of a good future by yourself, Yun Zheng thinks so, but lying on the mule cart, Xiaolin thinks that Yun Zheng needs better luck to achieve his goal.

His luck was not good, when he took away his silver medal, he was kicked heavily by Gao Tansheng, and all three of his ribs were broken, and after being reset by Wugou, this strong spy still followed Yun Zheng on the westbound road.

Qishan is the remnant vein of the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountain Range, the topography of the junction of Shuzhong, Guanzhong and Longyou is quite complicated, there is a difficult road in Shu, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the Qinling Mountains are the dividing line of the topography and climate of the Chinese land, the reason why it becomes the dividing line, is because of the complexity and height of the mountain system.

In Yanguan Town, Yun Zheng used the official guide to buy a batch of salt, the quantity is not much, there is no shortage of salt in Western Xia, people occupy the largest salt pond, many times, the Tubo people are exchanging livestock for salt from the Xixia people.

The policy of the Great Song Dynasty was very mentally retarded, and salt was an important material that was not allowed to be exported to the Tangut people like iron, and the result was that there was a shortage of salt on the Qinfeng Road in Huanzhou, and the people on the border of the Great Song Dynasty ate expensive salt transported from Shandong. I don't know who this policy will end up harming.

The Tubo people in Qingtang have the best green salt, and the Xixia people have the best salt pond salt, which are all readily available, and the poor people of the Great Song Dynasty can only secretly sell illegal salt, and they will be beheaded if they are caught.

The world is impermanent, Yanguan Town, as the largest salt production site in the northwest, is not as prosperous as it looks, and the whole town is not so much a place for human habitation as a large construction site with smoke everywhere.

A caravan of 500 people is inconspicuous here, and a salt caravan of thousands of people is also common in Yanguan Town, which is full of porters carrying salt and loading trucks.

There are people with rich hats. There are also merchants in coarse clothes, and there are surprisingly many restaurants and brothels in this town, and if there is anything more, it can be regarded as a casino.

In a very large wooden building. There's a strange sell-off going on.

This may be the characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, when people don't know what the casino is selling, they start to bid the price, and the last one with the highest price wins, you may spend five times to buy a hundred loads of salt, or you may spend fifty times to sell a stunning beauty, of course, you are also very likely to spend a hundred times to buy a goosebump-haired old woman, but most of them are basically worthy of the price you pay. The lucky and unlucky are nothing more than a gimmick from the casino.

Yun Zheng sat on the edge of a dark and shiny table, his hand with a white jade wrench tapping lightly on the table. A set of tea sets as white as jade were placed on the table, and he slowly sipped the green tea.

Behind Yun Zheng, who was standing in Han Niu, the monkey helped to set up a small red clay stove in the hall to boil water, and a little farther away, it was Liang Ji standing in the distance with six majestic Jiaziying brothers. The table next to him was empty, not that Yun Zheng didn't allow others to come, but that others didn't dare to sit over at all, a beautiful boy in a green shirt was enough to make other businessmen ashamed of themselves.

Yun Zheng's dress is actually very ordinary, with only a ribbon tied on his head, and his hair hanging down behind his back in a ponytail. A simple azure silk shirt. The style is very simple, the only difference is the color, azure dye and its difficult preparation, so the price is very expensive, not ordinary people can afford.

Since he is wearing a silk shirt, it must be an official eunuch. The thrifty order during the Qingli period is still in effect today, and the merchants wear silk shirts, which is overstepping the system and being disrespectful, and they need to be punished.

Runtang didn't dare to come over at all. Because people don't even need to drink water.

Yun Zheng took a broad bean and flicked his fingers on the middleman who was waiting for Yun Zheng's order, and the middleman immediately clasped his fists and saluted Yun Zheng, and then tore his voice to start the first round of shouting.

shouted three times in a row, and the people below were silent, and those people waited three times, and saw that Yun Zheng had no intention of bidding, so they rushed to start bidding.

The first goods at the opening are often the casino's profit-making behavior, which has a lot of profits, Yun Zheng does not rob it, others think that it is the noble son who does not compete with the small people for profit, this kind of style is the real noble son's practice.

Liang Ji looked around proudly, he hadn't seen what Guijie Gongzi looked like, so he insisted that it should be the appearance of the general, no need to sign up, no need to speak, the momentum can make everyone bow their heads.

Yun Zheng didn't come here to show his style, the only reason he came here was that the people of the Maitreya Sect told him that there would be an auction of a few bankrupt merchants in the Western Regions in the casino today, and these people were very important to Yun Zheng's westward journey.

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, a businessman used sixty-five yuan to shoot the salt of Hezhong Road, which actually refers to the area of Lanzhou, which is the area where the officials and the Tubo people take turns fighting, even if there is a salt introduction, there is no way to sell it, but those salt quotations are true, and they can put forward the salt of Baihuahua from the official salt warehouse, so this businessman is very calculating this time is making a lot of money, and the people around him are congratulating.

The merchant respectfully walked up and bowed his hand to Yun Zheng and said, "Thank you to the official, but I don't know if the official intends to buy these salt leads?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and the merchant took a long breath, and walked into the crowd with a thousand thanks and began to sell the salt in his hand, and the salt in the middle of the river led him to eat alone.

The color has passed, Yun Zheng called the steward and said to him: "Don't sell the rest, just sell it openly, if there is any goods that I can see, I will redeem them at a high price." ”

The great joy of the steward, such a high roller has not met one in a year, today's business is easy to do, the reason why such a merchant entered the casino, it is very clear that Virtue knows that there is something he needs, so no matter what, today will also be a big day of Fortune.

Others are observing the goods, but Yun Zheng is observing people, most of the businessmen here are from Qinfeng Road, with an obvious northwest style, whether it is a tall voice, or the sheepskin shoulders worn on the body, many people have knives pinned to their bodies, most of the knives are not long, and they are also long, which is often said to be a sharp knife to untie the wrist.

If you exceed this size, you will be held accountable by the government, although everyone doesn't care too much, but in Yanguan Town, an area that is controlled by the government, you need to be taboo no matter what.

With a strong crossbow on his back and a long knife hanging from his waist, like Yun Zheng, especially the pair of hammers that Liang Ji hung around his neck with an iron chain, it gave others a great illusion.

Yun Zheng's subordinates have all been on the battlefield, and after a long time of drills, they can already see some fierce atmosphere, which is not something that can be disguised by just finding a few van troops.

The soldiers are fierce soldiers, they will be fierce generals, and they are well-equipped, many people are secretly speculating that this is the Yang family, or the young man of the farming family or the folding family, because Yanguan Town is located in the border fortress, and the people are fierce, and only the children of the officials of these three families have such power.

Yun Zheng thought that the innocence of the Western Regions was a group of people, and when that person was led to the sales table, he found that it was a sloppy bad old man, who was still drunk when he went on the stage, and there were only three fingers left on his right hand, and when his hair was lifted up, Yun Zheng found that this guy only had one eye left.

"Officials, this is the famous Sun Qizhi, don't look at others looking obscene, but he is the best big whip on the Ganliang Ancient Road, there is no road on the Ganliang Ancient Road that he doesn't know, and there is no secret he doesn't know, but the business on the Ganliang Road is difficult to do now, and this guy has no food, so he bet himself on the gambling table and lost to the casino, and now he is selling, I don't know which official is interested?"

As soon as the words of the Chinese man ended, the people below laughed, this person is actually known to everyone, is a standard gambler and drunkard, when he was a teenager, he lost his wife to others, and then he was addicted to alcohol, and he didn't have the strength to work without drinking a lot of alcohol a day, although he was the best whip, but with these two, no one was willing to hire him.

Later, he gambled money in the casino, bet on his fingers, but lost, and lost three fingers, and since then, no one is willing to help him, and finally fell to the result of being sold by the casino.

Yun Zheng knocked on the table and said to the middleman: "Make an offer!" I'm going to have this guy! ”

The Chinese man said with a smiling face: "Sun Qizhi is actually full of ability, but he is good at gambling and drinking in his life, if he doesn't have these two problems, he is definitely the best man on Ganliang Road." The casino sold him just to get back the money he owed to the casino......"

"How much?" Yun Zheng didn't have the patience to listen to the nonsense of the Chinese people, and he didn't have the heart to listen to him make up lies.

"One hundred and fifty times!" Seeing that Yun Zheng's face was not good, the Chinese immediately quoted.

"This person belongs to me, I'll go to the housekeeper to get the money later!" Yun Zheng nodded and said.

The Chinese were overjoyed, they didn't expect that a worthless waste could be sold at a high price, it was really unexpected, and happily threw the person at Yun Zheng's feet, turned around and left, and he saw that the old housekeeper brought by Yun Zheng was sitting at another table.

"Get him clean and change his clothes!" Yun Zheng shouted to the middle man, the person under his feet was too stinky.

The four big men immediately came over and carried Sun Qizhi away, Yun Zheng stood up, lifted the remaining curtains, and searched the goods one by one, but I didn't expect the goods here to be very ordered, green japonica rice, white pearl rice is actually here, these two things are rare things in Shu, especially green japonica rice, there are only three quintals for the emperor every year, and the quantity here is marked as full of thirty quintals.

Life is rich, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Yun Zheng wants to enter Xixia, a noble identity can not be less, a proud character can not be less, a rich life can not be less, green japonica rice is a hardware that highlights luxury.
