Dayong is a country with a vast territory, vast land and rich mineral deposits. The emperor of Dayong can be regarded as diligent, and governs the country in an orderly manner, the people are well fed, warmly dressed, and naturally happy when they pay taxes! Years of comfortable life so that the Dayong treasury is sufficient, the economy is steadily moving forward, these years God is also an eye-opener, although a small drought, a small flood disaster, every few years to come back, but there is no human muscles and bones of the disaster, plus the benefit of governance, the country's disaster relief funds allocated in a timely manner, the people did not suffer much, gritted their teeth and survived. Compared with Dayong a hundred years ago, the living standards of the people of Dayong have improved not a little bit, although there are still many poor people, but there are few starvation deaths in the disaster year, the people do not seek wealth and nobility, only seek food and clothing, so they can be regarded as living a life of peace and contentment.

In contrast, Wana, a small country on the border, is in a much worse situation.

The Vana people live in the form of steppe tribes, they live on horseback, live by grazing, see the sky is vast, the magnificent scenery of the wilderness, taste mare's milk wine, and sing the tune of swimming happily between heaven and earth.

The Vana people yearn for a free life, but the place where they live is scarce, and there are only a few things that can be eaten and used, so the life of the Vana people is very hard, a large family lives in tents, grazing at dawn, and some of the milk harvested is barely enough for their own families, and the part saved is made into dairy products, and used to exchange food with the Central Plains people. Nian, sheep, horses, although they can all be exchanged for a good price, but the cost is also high! When encountering a drought in the grassland, they have to go far to find water sources and abundant pastures, and not everyone can experience the hardship.

The steppe people seem to be born to ride horses and wrestle, and they are called a people on horseback, which is worthy of the name. Vana has limited conditions, a harsh climate, and a lack of materials. But the same Vana people are brave and good at fighting, good at riding, and have a very strong ability to control horses, probably because they were born to drink goat's milk. When it comes to eating beef and mutton, the Vana people are tall and big, and there is no such thing as weakness at all. Those emaciated literati in the Central Plains who have no power to restrain chickens are like chicks in their eyes, and with a little effort, they can kill a few.

It is precisely because of this gap between the rich and the poor, this cultural difference between weakness and the admiration of force, that the restless and aggressive factor in the blood of the Wana people is ready to move! For a hundred years, he has been constantly harassing towards the border of Dayong, and the wolf is ambitious. Abundantly clear.

Relations between the two countries are tense, and the people on the border are terrified all day long, fearing that if the war breaks out, they will suffer from the scourge of war, and then they will not be able to leave a family. Displaced, there was really no way to live that day.

But there is such a kind of person who wants to fight.

In later generations, there was a saying that "when a gun goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold". He is talking about businessmen who make profits by making money from the country and war! Ancient and modern are similar, whether they are separated by thousands. For hundreds of years, or in an alternate parallel space, these businessmen are real, they don't care about the country, what the people are, they just think. How can you put a lot of gold and silver in your pocket? These businessmen usually have strong back-up support, and they have a century-old family behind them to support, they have a wide range of contacts, and they have many doors, so they can get a qiē material needed for the war! Those items that are in demand. For example, medicines, food, and even gunpowder and weapons for military supplies are firmly in their hands, and they resell them to those who need them at ten or dozens of times the price.

At this time, what country rises and falls, what moral responsibility, are all left behind by them, and only interests are the most popular.

Although it is easy to make money in a national disaster, there is no war every day. Let's talk about Dayong, although there have been disputes with small countries for a hundred years, they are all small fights, and there is no big fight. You can't stop doing business if people don't fight, right? How many people would have to starve to death!

Therefore, some trading houses organized caravans, going back and forth between Dayong and various small countries, exchanging a small amount of money for some local materials that were more abundant, and then selling them at a high price. Of course, there are no merchants or traitors, and they will not go to Wana empty-handed, and they will also bring some popular goods such as salt and silk with the original to exchange or sell at a high price.

It's just that the behavior of these firms is not protected by law, and the business they do is a bit like smuggling for a living, and salt, iron, these are all controlled products of the imperial court and the government, once they are found to be selling privately, it is a felony to go to prison. Therefore, these firms do business, they are all on the sidelines, most of them do not have road guides, official dishes and other things, but pick a place with few people, secluded, dangerous, and poor natural conditions, so that although it is harder, they get more profits, and they can also avoid being investigated by the government.

There is a Shengyue trading house from Jiangbei that specializes in this kind of business.

Their commercial banks have branches in various places, but the head office is in Jiangbei, because the boss is from the rivers and lakes, so there are a lot of purchases and shipments, and they have taken the lead in business opportunities. I heard that the boss of this Shengyue Commercial Bank is very good at winning people's hearts, and has caged many people who are not very good in the rivers and lakes, relying on these Jianghu people who dare to fight, and even dare to kill, Shengyue Commercial Bank quickly became famous on the road of smuggling. Compared with other commercial firms, they have been hacked a lot less times, and the safety factor has also improved a lot every time they live, although Shengyue Commercial Bank is a rising star, but the momentum is very fierce, and it didn't take a few years to annex five or six commercial houses in Jiangbei to buy this kind of business.

A long caravan appeared in the middle of the desert.

The camel bell rings non-stop, the unique dusk and sunset in the desert hangs in the distance like a duck egg yolk, the wind and sand continue to blow over, hitting the face of the person with a hard pain, experienced people with a thick scarf to wrap their face, only showing a pair of eyes, paying attention to the movement around the desert.

At the front of the line, the two horses sat an old man and a young man.

The old man was about forty years old, and he wore a thin cotton robe, a sheepskin waistcoat on the outside, and a turban of unknown color around his head, and his face was tightly covered, revealing a pair of slightly cloudy eyes with shrewd eyes! This person's name is Ge Changzhuang, and he has been living in Shengyue Shang for several years. Don't look at his age, although he is a little old, but his health is still good, the most important thing is that this person is very experienced and knows all kinds of situations in the desert well. This Ge Changzhuang had lived in Wana earlier, knew some daily Wana language, and was more clear about some of the customs of Wana.

An experienced person like Ge Changzhuang is the object of competition for hire by major trading houses, and having someone like him as the leader of the caravan can make the danger of the caravan much lower.

Ge Changzhuang's position cannot be replaced by ordinary people, he is very good at leadership, he is also very decisive, and his status in the caravan is very transcendent, and everyone believes in him.

The young man who rode side by side with him at the head of the group was called Qian Cannon, and Cannonfight was just a nickname, not his real name, but everyone was happy to call him a nickname, and over time, he got used to it. Qian Paozhan this man is quite tall, the young man is only twenty years old, it is when he is young and strong, and his blood is strong, he has a temper, and he is ruthless, and he has only been in the caravan for more than a year, and he has shown his head.

It is said that once he met a horse bandit in the desert, and this money cannon man cut down seven or eight horse bandits alone, and those fierce horse bandits were like vegetable melons in front of him. Ge Changzhuang just took a fancy to this young man's courage, daring to fight, and being a good hand, so he promoted him to his side, trained him personally, and treated him like an apprentice.

"Master, what do you think, why do you take those people in!" Qian Paongzhan was born with no way to speak in a low voice, his loud voice was like a loudspeaker, listening to him was like arguing, his voice was an octave high, and it shook people's diaphragms. Ge Changzhuang said him a few times, let him be more steady, Qian Cannon's battle is a memory, after being said a few times, he also knew that he lowered his voice to speak, although the movement was still louder than others, but it was already a lot better.

There was a lot of wind and sand in the desert, and his voice was blown away by the whirling of the wind. The caravan was so long that no one could notice it.

The corners of Ge Changzhuang's mouth hidden under the scarf were slightly raised, and a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes, and he only said, "What do you want!" It's all flesh and blood of compatriots, and it shouldn't be pulled! People bring their own camels and have water, so they can walk with us for a while, what can they do? Ge Changzhuang's voice was very vicissitudes, it sounded slightly hoarse, and the timbre seemed to have been rubbed by sand and stones, although it was a little weird, but it was not unpleasant.

"Huh?" Qian Pao didn't think about it, he wore out his mouth and asked for a long time, and then asked such a result.

Master, this is a fool! He said it so lightly, as if it were a matter of effort. The more Ge Changzhuang is like this, the more Qian Paozhan feels that there is something wrong here, if not for anything else, because he feels that his master is not a simple person, what he sees in his eyes and thinks in his heart is different from others.

Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it!

Qian Cannong stopped asking, he stopped talking, and focused on riding his horse, observing the wind direction around him, and the weather!

Ge Changzhuang saw all these in his eyes, and couldn't help but nod secretly, although he was not calm enough, but after all, he was young, and at the age of his blood and strength, it was reasonable for him to be stunned, it was a good material, and he would be able to become a talent in the future.
