When Zhao Fatzi woke up, there was already a misty white light outside the tent, and the four fields were quiet.

Today is the first day of the mutual market, Zhao Fatzi thought about yesterday's arrangement, got up sensitively, put on his armor, put on his hood, and went out of the camp.

The east is already a little white, the patrolling guards have begun to change the guard, and the rejection of horses at the gate of the camp has also been pulled away.

The morning dew was quite heavy, the yellow sand on the ground was wet, and the long qiāng standing on the outer shelves of the tent was all muddy.

Carrying a fairly clean waist knife, Zhao Fatzi inspected the camp and saw that everything was fine, so he walked to the gate of the camp.

After greeting the guards guarding the camp gate, Zhao Fatzi left the camp and walked towards the Hunhe Mutual Market that had been demarcated.

In order to ensure that the mutual market can be carried out normally, the location was chosen on the flat land two hundred steps outside the camp, with a river on the north side to facilitate water access, and flat grassland on the other three sides, which is suitable for trading.

Zhao Fatzi entered the demarcated mutual market, and saw Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu, who was recently promoted to viscount.

After Diaoyin set up the Jiedu Mansion, the camp of the Hunhe River was isolated, just like the original Tianqi City, which became a lonely city.

However, the second brother did not treat Zhang Lu badly, and mentioned him as the governor of the Hunhe battalion, and raised 20,000 border troops, which were directly under the command of the military department.

"Metropolitan Governor, I checked it all yesterday, and the Border Trade Division has almost prepared, don't worry."

Zhao Fatzi greeted him and spoke.

Zhang Lu nodded: "I know, I just can't rest assured, come over and take a look." ”

"This time, it was the prince's arbitrariness that promoted the mutual market with Tulle, and others can't see the prince's painstaking efforts, you Zhao Fatzi still don't understand."

"My Han Kingdom has been fighting with Thule for decades, winning less and losing more, this time the prince with the power of a great victory, suppressed Tulle, and only then did he have the opportunity to have this mutual market, if this mutual market is opened well, it will be much more convenient for the prince's plan behind it."

Zhao Fatzi scolded hatefully: "It's a pity that the princes of the imperial court don't understand bullshit, and these domestic traders are useless, except for the two Jin merchants, the rest are all the platforms of the border trade department." ”

Jin Shang Lu Xiong came over and said with a smile: "Governor Zhang, General Zhao, I am relieved to see that the two of you attach so much importance to this mutual market." ”

Zhao Fatzi glanced at Lu Xiong, "What, if we don't pay attention to it, you kid will have to withdraw the stall." ”

Lu Xiong smiled heapedly: "General Zhao is wrong, I don't dare to hide from the two, I used to do business with the Thule people, and every time I was scared, for fear of being blacked out by the Tulle people, just like this, the number of times I planted in the hands of the Tulle people is countless." ”

"Although this mutual market is opened by the imperial court, if there is no strong army to suppress it, I Lu someone would not dare to stay, and now I am relieved to see that the two adults attach so much importance to this mutual market."

Zhang Lu sent Lu Xiong away, and while observing, he instructed Zhao Fatzi:

"The people of Thule are different from us, they are very enthusiastic about this mutual market, according to the information of Dingxiangwei, there are more than 80 tribes participating in the mutual market this time, and if the interpretation is enough, there will be more tribes coming."

"The people of Thule are so brave and ruthless, you have to show me this work of mutual ammunition."

Zhao Fatzi laughed: "Don't worry, I promise not to kill." ”

Zhang Lu smiled and did not speak, the two followed each other, and when they reached the back door, they saw the Thule people who were blocked by the rejection of horses and the gate.

Outside the market, there are dense Tule people, morning glory and sheep, baskets and bags, and all kinds of lively scenes.

Zhao Fatzi's face was full of pride, "There are still a lot of people in Thule, and my second brother's strategy will really not be a problem." ”

Zhang Lu also narrowed his eyes: "The prince is naturally not wrong, and the princes of the three provinces are confused, and they can't recognize the reality clearly, they always think that the prince can't do it, and he obstructs it, for the country and His Majesty, but in fact, it is all reversed." ”

The sky was bright, and the officials of the border trade department also arrived, and the person who presided over the mutual market was a person named Korean, Cong Bapin.

Han Yu saw Zhang Lu and hurriedly came over to greet him.

"My subordinates have seen the Metropolitan Governor, they have seen General Zhao, the Tule people are barbaric, and the safety of the mutual market depends on the two adults."

Zhang Lu's face smiled: "Where the responsibility is, Lord Han doesn't have to be polite, the mutual market is a place valued by the prince, Lord Han's official position is small, but if he can enter the eyes of the prince, Lord Han's future is unlimited." ”

Han Yu also laughed: "Thank you for mentioning it, I didn't know the importance of this matter before, and I thought it was sent here, and I was disheartened, and I mistook the prince's big thing." ”

Zhang Lu waved his hand: "It's good if you know, get busy." ”

The back door was wide open, the Tule merchants rushed in, the scene was out of control for a while, the guards on duty at the door were all crowded and messy, the gate pillars were squeezed out of shape, and the merchants who were squeezed out hugged the lamb and shouted.

Zhao Fatzi raised his hand, his waist knife was pulled out, and he stood in the way: "Where are the guards on duty?" ”

In an instant, more than a dozen guards came from all sides, standing behind Zhao Fatzi, and pulled out their waist knives in unison, pointing at a group of crazy people who seemed to be Tule.

Zhao Fatzi shouted: "Stop for me, this is an important place in the Han Kingdom, if you don't want to move your head, let me come in slowly." ”

The steel knife was sharp, and the sharp blade flowed with a trace of red light, and the Tulle merchant instantly calmed down.

The Han army had just defeated the Tule coalition army, and the tribal army suffered heavy casualties, most of these people were tribal people, so they naturally knew the notoriety of the Han army, and they all stopped one by one, and slowly walked forward with their packages.

"I'm going to change the pot with the lamb, the pot has been leaking for a few days."

"I took a cow to change the pot, and my pot also leaked, and the days without a pot were too sad."

"I'm going to sell horses, and I have fifty horses at home, and the pot can't be opened."

"I have a bag of copper coins, can I exchange it for a bag of salt, no, the tribe has not had salt for a while, and I have no strength to work."

For a time, the mutual market was full of shouts of buying and selling.

Han led a group of petty officials, rushing back and forth, directing the Thule people to pay for the rental of stalls, determining the value of the exchange, and all kinds of busy.

The sun gradually warmed up, Zhang Lu stood under the shade of a tree, looked up at the sky, the sky was full of white clouds, the blue sky was high, and the hot wind was blowing in his face, as if he was enthusiastic in the city.

Near noon, Korean came over to talk to Zhang Lu about the situation.

"Up to now, the Border Trade Division has sold more than 800 iron pots, 600 bags of salt, 3,200 cattle and sheep, and 78 horses, which is a huge profit."

Zhang Lu nodded, and instructed the master next to him to finish transcribing the details and give it to Hangul.

Korean read it again: "No problem." ”

Zhang Lu nodded: "Come on, eight hundred miles expedited, sent to the capital, and passed to the prince, in order to wait for the opening of the mutual market, the prince has even postponed the day of going south, and the prince's plan cannot be delayed because of the mutual market." ”

Zhao Fatzi glanced at the south: "Dudu, did Tang Qin in the south use troops against my Han State again?" ”

Zhang Lu sneered: "Although there is no now, but sooner or later there will be, hum, Zuo Guangping is not a weapon, he can't stop Qiang Tang from not saying it, he still has the heart to support the army and respect himself, I really don't know how to write dead words." ”
