Chapter 156: Rush to the market
In ancient times, there were inevitably many pilgrims in places with temples, and there were inevitably no fewer rich people who prayed to God and worshiped Buddha.
And pilgrims' money is more profitable than the money of tourists in later generations, think about it, just after praying to God and worshiping Buddha, you can't turn around and bargain with others, what has become of this.
The purchasing power of the rich is leveraged, and with such a big business opportunity, the traders naturally heard the news, and over time a temple fair market was formed.
And the black market that Li Ergou said also has a temple, Guandi Temple.
Bandits and bandits are a group of guys, who can do anything that lacks morality, but they are full of righteousness first.
Everyone is not a serious person, and the transactions between each other are always worried about being hacked and blackened, but in front of Guan Erye's temple, a little more at ease, at least a little worried, how much to pay attention to one or two, restrained, eat can't be too ugly, bandits and bandits also have to be face-saving.
"Detachment Zhang, why did you let me come with me, I can't help much." Li Ergou squatted beside Zhang Yunfei and chattered, what idea did he come up with, isn't this digging a hole for himself.
The squad that came to buy food had to take him with him, and it was true that he was familiar with the situation in this place, but it was better for everyone to know the transaction in this place, and he slipped away after the transaction.
"You don't look like a good person, and others won't associate with the Eighth Route Army with you." Zhang Yunfei stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the dilapidated Guandi Temple Road in the distance.
Li Ergou: "......"
Is this a compliment, it's a compliment.
This is also the reason why he is worried, they are disguised as bandits this time, and disguising themselves as bandits is not the key, and the people who come to this black market to buy grain are basically bandits and bandits.
The point is that they didn't bring money, as logistics personnel, they more or less knew the situation of the detachment, and they didn't have money at all.
I don't have money to do business, it's self-evident what kind of business it is, this is the rhythm of fire, I'm really not good at this job, Li Ergou couldn't help but touch the shell gun pinned to his waist, and he always felt panicked and uncomfortable.
Zhang Yunfei observed the so-called black market in the distance from the top of the mountain, which was now just a large open space without weeds in front of the ruined temple, and had nothing to do with the market at all.
Li ...... That Li Er, this place doesn't look like a market no matter how it looks. Zhang Yunfei said a little strangely, "Are you sure there is a set in this place?" Got me right? ”
"It's this place, isn't the market like this, it's not time to open now, naturally there is no one, tomorrow is the day of the market."
Zhang Yunfei was silent, he made a mistake, the market of this era and the streets of later generations are not the same thing, but it is not Xing to open the door from morning to night to welcome customers, the market of this era has two proper nouns, the market and the market.
This means that you can only get to the market if you arrive at a certain date and time, and if it is any other time, sorry, this place is just an empty space where no one is.
Since the place is just a fast open space now, naturally there is nothing to observe, he is just a market tomorrow, and it is not to attack the mountain to fight the position, so he found a flat grass, lying on his back and stretching his body, looking at the blue sky and white clouds without a trace of pollution.
"Do you know the background of those grain merchants, who are they?" Zhang Yunfei asked Li Ergou.
"Where do I know this, I'm just a little person who helps them with private work." Li Ergou continued, "Anyway, I heard that their backgrounds are not ordinary. ”
Needless to say, he also knows how tight the devil's blockade line is, Zhang Yunfei has a deep understanding, but these guys can transport strategic items such as grain into the mountains, can they not be supernatural.
Now Zhang Yunfei is thinking about whether to do a long-term deal with these guys, or to do a hammer deal directly.
With such a large organization and network as the Eighth Route Army, it was difficult to transport some materials into the mountains, but these guys easily transported materials into the mountains, which shows that they have a material transportation channel.
Such a passage is actually particularly important for the Eighth Route Army, but the possibility of catching up with them is very low.
Maybe a small item passed through the blockade, or maybe it was a group of powerful merchants who bought off the troops along the blockade.
However, if the bulk items are long-term, they are not bought and can be said, and they are likely to be the business of the officers in the puppet army, and those businessmen are likely to be just white gloves or agents of the high-level of the puppet army.
Then the idea of doing business with them is impossible to realize, these high-ranking officials of the puppet army who are not Menqing, and have something to do with bandits, as long as they don't look ugly, as long as they can be a man, there will be no big problems, but with the relationship with the Eighth Road, this nature is completely different.
If you want to let the horse run, then you have to give it grass, as long as it does not harm the interests of the imperial army, the devil commander who is not stupid enough to go home will tolerate the puppet army making extra money, and even he himself will take advantage of the dry shares.
But once the interests of the devils are harmed, they will also turn their faces ruthlessly, so those puppet soldiers are clear about what they can do and what they can't do.
As for themselves and others disguising themselves as mountain bandits, the possibility of trying to deceive them is actually very low, it is impossible for this puppet army not to collude with the local bandit forces, as long as a little check, the disguised identities of themselves and others will be immediately exposed.
Even if you wait for someone to trade with them fairly, in the end, people will only trade with you once.
So after thinking about it, it is more cost-effective to simply do a hammer and buy without capital.
In the early morning of the next day, in front of the Guandi Temple, the open space began to gradually appear sparse figures, they began to set up temporary counters, as time went by, people continued to come from all directions, some directly found the open space and began to set up stalls, some pay attention to the point and lay a fast cushion cloth or something.
Zhang Yunfei is still the first time to see the opening of this era, for ordinary people, some needles and threads will be purchased from those merchants who walk the streets and alleys at the door of their homes.
Only some large items will go to the county seat or large market town to buy, of course, the market here is the most dilapidated market, after all, this place is a black market, although it is not forbidden for ordinary civilians to do business, but there is no official public security management, personal safety is not guaranteed.
However, under normal circumstances, no one will target the three melons and two dates of ordinary people, and after all, this place is the territory of thieves and grass bandits, and those petty thieves dare not come to these places to make a living.
Therefore, for some ordinary mountain people who come here to catch the market, as long as they do not have large quantities of valuable things on them, the security of the market here is better than that in other places.
In this chaotic era, the adaptability of the people is very strong, and what about the territory of the bandits, no matter how bad it is, it cannot be worse than the devils.
