The Hedong convoy came to the suspension bridge in Shaanxi and Tianjin, and the soldiers guarding the suspension bridge rolled their eyelids, glanced up and down at the convoy, slightly lowered the corners of their mouths, waved their hands, and asked a few soldiers to come forward to check.

The leader of Hedong hurriedly stepped forward and presented the money bag that had been prepared to the leading veteran with a smile on his face.

"What's on the car?" The veteran tossed his money bag up and down, then threw it to the soldier to count it, and asked casually.

The caravan leader said with a smile: "It's just some ordinary grain and grass, and there are no forbidden things." ”

"Oh? Grain and grass? Are you new here? The veteran laughed twice, and without waiting for the leader to answer, he casually asked the soldier to spot check a carriage, and when he saw that there were no problems and no nonsense, he went back to report to the army, and then let the convoy pass.

The team leader thanked him for his kindness, but he was strange in his heart, usually these ruffians, even if there is no problem, they have to find some problems, even if they can't find a problem, they will go around the circle around the carriage and horses and just don't let them go, how can they definitely have a little more blood to get by, why is it so strange today, even the second prepared money bag doesn't need to be taken out, just let it go? And what's new in that sentence just now? What does that mean exactly?

Strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, the caravan hurriedly set off and passed the long Shaanxi-Tianjin pontoon bridge.

Not far from Shaanxi-Tianjin, there is a valley in the shape of a trumpet, and on the wider side near Shaanxi-Tianjin, there is a large temporary trading market surrounded by a wooden fence, which is very simple but lively.

The trees used to build the shed were not even completely cleaned of their bark, so a rough frame was built on all sides, empty on all sides, and then laid out a little on the top of the roof with thatch, which did nothing but barely shelter some of the wind and rain overhead.

But it was under such dilapidated conditions that many merchants in plain silk were like flies staring at carrion, buzzing under the grass shed, running from one grass shed to another, waving paperwork in their hands, as if they had obtained tens of millions of dollars, cautiously with that proud look, the body of the leader of the Hedong caravan trembled slightly......

That's what big business looks like!

The running figures, the truckloads of goods stacked under the straw shed, as if this piece of land is filled with the charming fragrance of copper coins......

The team leader took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the smell of copper coins in the air into his lungs, and then opened his eyes wide, and recognized that the largest of them was a straw shed that traded grain and grass, and couldn't help but have a little excited flush on his face, hurriedly explained a few words, and strode under the grass shed.

Before the leader could rush to the hut where the grain and grass were traded, he was stopped by the soldiers who were maintaining order on the periphery, and then without saying anything, he pointed to a wooden sign standing beside him.

I saw that there were four big characters written on the wooden sign, "only 粜不籴"!

Yes!

The team leader was at a loss, there was no food here!

Why don't you collect food?

How is it possible not to receive food?

Where will I sell the grain and grass I brought?

The soldier seemed to know what the leader wanted to say, and pointed with his hand, only to see that not far from the official road outside the fence of this market, there was a lonely small shed, and under the shed there was a table, and a middle-aged man was waving here, and there was a very small wooden sign next to the table, and the wooden sign was so small that you couldn't notice it if you didn't pay attention to it, and there was only one word written on the wooden card -- "籴".

Looking at the bustling scene in the big market, and then turning his head to look at the lonely and slightly desolate little shed, the leader suddenly had a bad premonition, as if the next desolation would be himself.

"You're new here?" The middle-aged man in the small shed asked with a smile.

Why do you say that? Also, why isn't there any grain and grass in it? ”

"Because that's the only place to collect grain." The middle-aged man smiled, his eyes were like a big bad wolf seeing a cute little white rabbit, full of joy.

The team leader arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask what the price of food is?" "Although there are some doubts, as long as someone collects it, it is okay, anyway, isn't it the same to sell grain and grass to anyone?

The middle-aged man turned over a wooden sign from the table, pointed to the price marked on it, and let the team leader see it for himself.

"650 dollars per big stone sorghum! It's only 500 dollars! Wheat 390 money! Sulet 420 money! Thou hast played tricks on me! The more the team leader looked at it, the more angry he became, this price was only a little more than the current market price in Hedong, and the extra was just about the freight of the carriage and horses......

The price of grain in Sili is not less than 1,000 yuan, and he worked hard to collect grain and grass from Hedong, is it just to earn a carriage and horse fare?

The team leader was furious and walked away, there is no place to go, is it possible that the subordinates don't collect food everywhere?

The middle-aged man in the grass shed still smiled and didn't speak, watching the leader leave in anger, and didn't dissuade him.

From Shaanxi and Tianjin to Shaanxi County, you have to pass through a trumpet-shaped valley mouth formed by a natural mountain, and all caravans need to pass through this valley to reach Sili, and there are also soldiers in maintaining the order, so although the convoys of each family are backlogged at the intersection, they are not too messy, but pass through one after another in order.

The team leader also waited in line with the convoy.

"You're new here?" Suddenly, an old man in a caravan next to him said.

"Huh? Why do you say that? "The team leader is very strange, do I have the word "new" written on my face? Why do you ask me this question?

The old man smiled, then pointed to a small triangular flag hanging in front of his convoy, and said, "You can't get out without this flag......

The team leader looked around, only to find that there was basically a small flag on the convoy of merchants queuing around, and there were words such as "Yihai" and "Ding Chou" written on the small flag, such as numbers.

"Excuse me, how do you get this flag?"

The old man pointed to the market behind him and said: "At this time, there are documents for buying and selling, and then with the documents to the grass hut at the entrance of the camp to collect, and when the valley is crossed, it can be handed over." ”

"Uncle, dare to ask you what you are buying?"

"Hehe, it's naturally grain and grass." Now in Sili, there is no more popular commodity than grain and grass.

The team leader's eyes rolled, since he didn't have a flag and had no way to go out, was it okay to-

"It is also grain and grass among the horses that get off the carriage, if the old man intends to ......"

Without waiting for the team leader to finish speaking, the old man said angrily: "If the things that pass through the place do not match the documents, the light ones will not be killed, and the heavy ones will be killed!" I kindly remind you, why are you here to harm me? Hum! With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

The leader was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at the valley mouth of the bell in front of him, feeling like a rabbit that had fallen into a trap......
