"This Yanzhou City...... It was a bit of a surprise to me. ”

After shopping on the street for a long time, Dong Ping had to let out such an exclamation.

It has been two days since he came to this northernmost city in Liaoguo, and in the past few days, Dong Ping has searched for several shops, but he has not found any high-quality brass.

Not to mention the superior, the most important thing is not whether there is or not, even if there is, others will not even sell you an ordinary piece of brass, saying that you have to have a household registration in Liaoguo to buy these "controlled resources" in bulk. ”

Thinking of this, Dong Ping couldn't wait to scold, it doesn't matter if the Song Dynasty has control, after all, others are the Heavenly Empire, and the leadership of the cultural system is not to be seen.

But this remote and small state of Liao is actually so troublesome!

Thinking of this, Dong Ping looked nearby again, the busy people on the street basically looked in a hurry, and it was obvious that they had to spend a day of work in a busy way.

"It seems that it would be better for us to find a few locals and ask about the specific situation in this city." Dong Ping clasped his hands in front of his chest and said in a flat tone.

"Big brother, I'll ask." Liu Yun walked out with a smile: "As soon as you go out, you won't shock those civilians, if you miss the big ......"

"I said, can you stop being so flamboyant." Dong Ping kicked Liu Yun and scolded with a smile: "Say me like a devil."

"Yes." Liang Hongyu clasped her hands in front of her chest and snorted softly: "If you can't ask where there is brass today, don't want next month's Yulu."

Liu Yun cried and laughed: "What, can you represent the eldest brother?"

"I think this is a pretty good suggestion for the red jade girl." Dong Ping nodded slightly, said with a calm expression, and turned his head to the back again: "Huh?"

Yang Zaixing said with a smile: "We have no opinion, some people come when they open their mouths, and they have to teach him some lessons."

"I obey the instructions of my superiors." Shi Bao and Hu Sanniang said with a smile.

"Okay...... Wait. ”

Liu Yun covered his face and walked out in pain, ready to find a few people on the street who didn't seem to be so busy to inquire.

"I said this brother, you are not Han people from Daliao, right?"

The hard work paid off, and after half an hour, someone finally took care of him.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Sure enough, I can't hide this big brother." Liu Yun arched his hand and said with a smile: "We are all merchants in the Central Plains, and in Yanzhou, which has long heard of the Great Liao, there is a place where a 10,000-year-old meteorite fell, so we came here to seek meteorite iron and brass and make a living."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man just laughed a few times, but didn't say anything.

Dong Ping saw that the situation was wrong from a distance, and he and Yang Zaixing and a few people came over, and asked directly to the point: "This big brother, I can't hide it, we were assigned by the Great Song Emperor to purchase raw materials for elite weapons for the army, I don't know why your country is so harsh on the allies?"

"I'm afraid your purpose is not so simple." The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile in his tone: "Everyone in the world knows the great name of Yanzhou, which is rich in meteorite iron, and you, as royal merchants, don't you know that the procurement system of this Daliao requires officials above the first grade to show a certificate before you can mine and buy it?"

Dong Ping's brows furrowed for a moment, and a cold light seemed to shine in his eyes.

From the first product, now the title of the Zhendong Hou is only a second product, although Zhao Ji did not directly announce the abolition of everything in his Dong Ping in the world, but there is still no way to get brass through formal channels.

And the Cold Star Meteorite, not to mention.

"Big brother, what should I do now?" Yang Zaixing also saw the look in Dong Ping's eyes, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to find a few more people to ask, or force this person to say?"

"Okay, what do you do impulsively?" Dong Ping said with a smile: "I have my own way to solve this matter, brass and cold star meteorite, since I am here, I will naturally be determined to win."

"Looks like you're still not willing to give up."

The middle-aged man smiled casually: "There is a shop opened by a strange person in the first two corners, it is said that there are always some strange utensils, if you are interested, you might as well go to him and inquire about these."

"Okay, we'll thank you here." Dong Ping arched his hand, then called five people and went forward together.

"Brother, are you going to find that Western weirdo?"

A young man ran over from the side, gasped and said, "I advise you not to go, that person is the one who has caused His Majesty to hit a wall today!"

"What the hell is going on?" Dong Ping frowned and asked in a low tone.

"It seems that you Central Plains people don't know what kind of place this Yanzhou is."

The young man shook his head, sighed, and said, "I can only tell you that after Your Majesty took people to his shop, no one knew what was sold in his shop, and the price was surprisingly expensive."

"Because of that, what kind of weirdo do you think he's going to be?" Liu Yun smiled: "What? Are you Yanzhou people so daring? ”

"It's not that simple." The young man sighed and said, "We have heard that the people brought by His Majesty have been taught a lesson by that person, and His Majesty has nothing to do with him."

Someone who even dared to refuse the emperor to come to procure? The people who dared to move the imperial court in the territory of this Liao State were safe and sound?

It's a little interesting, Dong Ping smiled secretly in his heart.

"Since then, no one dares to go to his shop, and they don't know what he lives on, plus he has a weird personality, and he is a person from the West who is a Europa and a person with blue hair, so no one dares to provoke him, and they all call him Yanzhou Weirdo." The young man said in a panicked tone.

"Alright, we'll take care of it." Dong Ping smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and continued to walk forward with everyone.

Seeing that Dong Ping and his party did not listen to the advice, the man had to shake his head and leave by himself.

"Huh?!"

Yang Zaixing's eyes shook suddenly, and several black shadows on the roofs of nearby houses quickly swept into his sight.

When he turned around, there was no sign of anyone on the roof.

"Brother Zaixing, what's wrong?" Dong Ping asked casually.

"It's okay, I guess I read it wrong." Yang Zaixing shook his head with a smile, but he was secretly uneasy in his heart.

After turning a few corners, sure enough, a grocery store called "Zunpintang" appeared in front of Dong Ping.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Ping strode in, and Liu Yun and Yang Zaixing were idle and bored, so they went to a nearby teahouse to listen to the book.

As soon as he stepped into the store, Dong Ping was almost unable to adapt to the dark environment inside.

I took a deep breath, and although the light was dim, the air was exceptionally fresh.

Dong Ping looked from afar, and there was a figure lying on a rattan chair in the distance, which should be the shopkeeper.

"Just look at it, if you are interested, just buy it, and our store will accept the currency of Jiaozi and silver and gold."

The shopkeeper's deep voice came, but Dong Ping frowned when he heard it.

Listening to the accent, this person, it seems, is a European?

This is interesting, looking at the person who didn't move, just swallowing clouds and spitting fog, Dong Ping just smiled casually, and walked to the shelf first to look.

I have to say that this shelf display is still very stylish, some treasures and unknown utensils, it seems to be placed on the wall through fixed wooden boards, and the whole is displayed in the spacious hall in the form of countless English letters, all over every wall.

And near each plank, there is a small candle lamp, so that people can clearly see the goods for sale.

Brass, fine bronze, purple spirit jade, dragon core rock, blue spirit stone......

Sure enough, all of them are top-level weapon casting materials, even if you look at the whole world, they are only qualified to be equipped by elite troops of the royal family.

However, this price is surprisingly expensive.

Coupled with the fact that the people in this place don't know the goods, I guess they will think that this shopkeeper is a weirdo.

Dong Ping picked up the three bags of brass and walked to the counter, put down fifty taels of gold, and without saying hello to the shopkeeper, he threw the bag into the dimensional space, and walked to the deeper shelves.

Looking at these utensils, although they are precious, there are many things that Dong Ping doesn't need now.

"Huh?!"

Dong Ping's gaze stopped in front of a huge amber.

This yellow amber is at least one person tall, which is nothing, and Dong Ping can't look down on those ordinary amber and jade and the like.

Importantly, inside the amber, a huge black rough stone was sealed.

Dong Ping's throat swallowed, but the look in his eyes seemed to be enchanted, staring at the piece of amber.

There is no trace of impurities on the rough stone, and the transparent amber surface looks a little dull under the reflection of the rough stone.

The faint candlelight refracted inside the amber, making the whole piece of amber more artistic, and at the same time, it also allowed Dong Ping to see the rough stone clearly.

The deep black surface echoes the deep gold thread on the surface, but it does not conflict with each other, and the rough stone actually obscures the propagation of light after touching the candlelight.

No, so to speak, the light, completely gone.

Can't be wrong, this is the rough stone of the "Cold Star Meteorite", but no one knows the goods, so he has been sealed in this amber for tens of thousands of years, and no one cares about it to this day.

This extremely rare and precious material in the world, the outer space meteorite iron, which is as hard as a diamond, is now in front of you!

Thinking of this, there was only one thought left in Dong Ping's mind, and after a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, why do you want to open a store here, there is a court decree in this Yanzhou City, no one dares to sell meteoric iron, why does your small shop have this "Cold Star Meteorite" that I have been looking for for three years? ”

After listening to Dong Ping's words, the shopkeeper slowly stood up from the rattan chair and laughed loudly a few times, as if he was laughing at something.

"Don't you know, these 100,000 years ago, there was a meteorite outside the sky fell here, and one of the ancestors of the Liao people was scheduled to breed here, and now, the people of the whole city make a living by mining iron ore in the mountains, and the government controls the meteorite iron ore, so that Yanzhou is famous as the mineral capital of the world."

The shopkeeper removed the cigar from his mouth, and a deep voice resounded through the room.

"I came to this Liao people's place from thousands of miles away, and I was also ordered by my uncle to inherit this honorable hall, since you want to buy this peerless honorable product, do you know its value?"

"Have you ever known that the Emperor of Liao once came to buy this thing with ten thousand gold, and I never gave it away?"

The shopkeeper turned around, took a slow puff on his cigar, and spoke in a low tone.

It was only at this time that Dong Ping saw his appearance clearly.

The man was about nine feet tall, and in the slightly dim interior environment, he still looked tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, a rich beard covering his face, a high nose, and a cigar in the corner of his mouth.

It is very obvious that this man is European.

"Honorable, honorable, as the name suggests, there is nothing extraordinary in this hall, and Your Excellency is indeed a master." Dong Ping smiled and said: "It seems that Your Excellency is not from Huaxia, how about it, why don't we make a deal, barter, treasure for treasure, how about it?"

"Treasures?"

The man finally laughed, "I want to know if there is any treasure that can be exchanged for the only seven pieces of Cold Star Meteorite Iron in the world."

Soon, his smile froze, and a sense of seriousness gradually spread from his face.

On the counter not far away, a crystal clear emerald green plant firmly latched his gaze.

Wardtz's hand trembled slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, it was clear that this plant was not something ordinary in his eyes.

At least, not under the Cold Star Meteorite.

However, he quickly reverted to his previous appearance and walked to the counter, his eyes looking at the plant that interested him as well.

"Yes, the world's first strange grass, Jiuxuan dark green grass, deserves this value."

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

Dong Ping smiled: "So, did Mr. agree to exchange with me?"

"Young man, you're still too anxious."

Wardertz looked up, a strange look flickering in his cloudy eyes in the dim candlelight.

"Did I say I was going to take out this cold star meteorite?"

Dong Ping's brows furrowed, and he looked the European up and down, trying to find out his flaws.

"Hehe, you don't have to be in a hurry." Wardez said in a calm tone: "Yesterday, a group of people also came here, and they exchanged a million taels of gold for another piece of Cold Star Meteorite Iron from me."

Another piece?!

A million taels of gold?!

Dong Ping's heart was suddenly shocked, what kind of person could actually come up with such a huge amount of gold?

"Hehe, Mr. means ......"

Dong Ping clasped his hands in front of his chest, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Desire requires courage and strength." Wardetz walked to the wicker chair and sat down again, spitting out several smoke rings from his mouth before speaking slowly: "We French people have a saying, if you don't have a decisive heart, don't fight for treasures."

"I see, then, I want to know everything that person can get."

Dong Ping's figure seemed to be a little taller under the refraction of the candlelight, and in his indifferent tone, there seemed to be a hint of coldness at this moment.
