"The eldest husband should be happy and revenge, my Jinshan has grown so big, and I have never been forced to even eat, I didn't have a chance before, but now I have a chance, naturally I can't let go of the people who bullied me and insulted me before!" Jin Shan gritted his teeth and told the reason why he wanted to stay in the mine.

"That's right, how did I forget about those gods, I also stayed to help Brother Jin, if I don't take revenge, I won't be surnamed Di!" Di Qing immediately slapped the table when he heard Jin Shan's words and agreed, compared to Di Qing in history, he is just a young man with no opinions, especially Jin Shan's happy enmity and hatred even spoke to his heart.

Li Zhang also sighed secretly when he heard this, although Jin Shan opened a casino, he was actually a good-natured person, even if others provoked him, as long as it wasn't too much, he wouldn't care too much, but now he would rather stay in the mine than take revenge on those mine tyrants, so you can know what kind of humiliation he had been subjected to before!

"No problem, I'll come back with you in three days, and then I'll do it again, whatever you want!" Li Zhang nodded immediately when he heard this, although he could use his power to directly dispose of those who bullied Jin Shan, but looking at Jin Shan's appearance, he obviously wanted to take revenge with his own hands, and Li Zhang naturally would not stop him.

Seeing Li Zhang's promise, Di Qing next to him was even happier than Jin Shan, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to go back immediately, and taught all the people who had bullied them before a hard lesson.

A meal of roast mutton came down, and it took more than half an hour to eat, and finally Li Zhang checked out and found that he had eaten two yuan, in fact, the mutton in the northwest is very cheap, but the four of them are the most edible age, especially Di Qing, who has an amazing amount of food, of course, it is worse than a wild dog.

Li Zhang didn't know when he would go back, so he hired a car in the city and asked Jin Shan and Di Qing to go to Gyeongju City first, and the two of them continued to stay in Tuoyuan Village to wait for Cao Wei, Cao Ma estimated that they might not be able to go back today, because Tuoyuan Village is very critical here, and with Cao Wei's character, he might stay here for two days.

Sure enough, when it was almost dark, Cao Wei sent someone to find Li Zhang, and then the group stayed in Tuoyuan Village for one night, and dinner was in the military commander's yamen, and the Wang commander's envoy ate together, the Wang commander's envoy was a middle-aged man about forty years old, not tall, half a head worse than Li Zhang, but he grew thick and strong, looking like a water tank, Cao Yu privately introduced to Li Zhang, this Wang Fang is good at using a pair of square iron maces, and there is unstoppable courage on the battlefield.

Wang Fang is a military general, eating and drinking with a heroic wind, dinner is also roasted whole sheep, the wine of the big altar can be drunk casually, although there is a ban on alcohol in the army, but this prohibition is generally only effective in war, when there is no war in peacetime, the military camp is generally not allowed to drink, after all, the northwest is bitter cold, and now the weather is cold, if there is no wine, the soldiers can not hold it once.

The next morning, Li Zhang woke up and found that the sky outside was gloomy, as if he wanted snow, speaking of which they set off from the capital in autumn and came here to enter winter, but it has not snowed yet, looking at today's appearance, the first snow of this year is likely to fall.

"Let's go! Let's go to the border market! As soon as Li Zhang and Cao Ma had breakfast, Cao Wei took Wang Fang to find them and said, Tuoyuan Village is not far from the border city set up by the Great Song Dynasty, which is the place where the Great Song Dynasty does business with various ethnic groups abroad, although there are many merchants in Tuoyuan Village, but it is far less than the transaction volume of the border market.

Li Zhang has actually been worried about what happened to Jinshan, because when they met yesterday, he deliberately concealed something, that is, Jinshan's wife was forced to have an abortion by his father and brother, and as a result, he didn't dare to tell Jinshan, for fear that he would be overly sad, but he didn't know if Mrs. Jin and Jin Xiaomei would tell Jinshan when they saw him?

But it's useless to worry about these now, Li Zhang can't abolish the public for personal reasons, and Cao Wei left them in Tuoyuan City yesterday, in fact, he was giving him time to deal with private affairs, after all, it is impossible for Cao Ma not to tell him about Jinshan, now that the matter has been done, he has to put business first, so he and Cao Ma immediately nodded and agreed.

So a group of people out of Tuoyuan Village, out of the gate to the north walk about three miles, is the Great Song Dynasty set up the border market, in fact, is a demarcated trading range, the Great Song Dynasty and the various ethnic groups outside the country will transport their respective goods here, and then trade, the common currency is naturally the copper money of the Great Song Dynasty, or gold and silver, but the copper money of the Great Song Dynasty is relatively scarce, so there is also a large number of bartering here.

Li Zhang, they all rode horses, and came to the border market after a while, because the border market here has been established for many years, so the border market has also built a simple shop, and is divided into two parts of the north and south with an east-west road, the southern half is dominated by Han merchants, and the northern half is dominated by Hu merchants, most of the goods traded are placed in the open air, and all kinds of merchants shuttle in these goods, and from time to time there will be a large single transaction completed, don't look at the simplicity here, but the daily transaction volume is much stronger than Tuoyuan Village.

In addition to the businessmen who come and go, you can often see some officials of the Great Song Dynasty shuttling through them, these officials are mainly tax collectors, but here the Han and Hu are mixed, and the folk customs are very fierce, and it is not easy to bring up the taxes, so there are hundreds of soldiers here, and the hard bones who refuse to pay taxes are directly started, after all, no one will be convinced if they are not tough here, especially the Hu people, what they believe in is fists, and a direct fight is more useful than any preaching.

"Yes, yes, it seems to be more prosperous than two years ago!" Cao Wei rode on his horse and looked at the border market in front of him, and nodded with great satisfaction at the moment, the border market is of great significance, it is not only an important financial source for the border, and the more Hu people are willing to come to the border market to trade, it generally means that the border will be safer.

"Hehe, although the party people are not very honest in the past two years, they also have to rely on trading with us to survive, so they don't dare to make trouble here in the border city, not only the party and the Tubo people have come to trade in the past two years, and even the grassland people who are farther away will form a caravan to come, and they can bring a large number of cattle and sheep every time, and even a lot of good horses, and a BMW was even sent to the palace last year." At this time, I saw that the commander of the king smiled and said, he was short and strong, even his face was covered with horizontal meat, and there was a long scar on his face, and he could almost stop crying when he laughed.

"Let's go in and take a spin!" Cao Wei was also very interested at this time, and after speaking, he took the lead and got off the horse, and then took Li Zhang and they entered the border market.

Because there are too many cattle and horses, there is a smell of livestock everywhere, and there is also the smell of mutton, especially when those Hu people walk by, there is a strong smell, which makes Li Zhangzhi frown, he only heard that Hu people don't like to take a bath, and because of diet, their body odor is strong, he and Hu people have not been in close contact before, and now they are worthy of their reputation.

In addition to the body odor of the Hu people, the road is full of cattle and horses, no one manages it at all, especially some Hu people have the intention of defecation, directly on the street to solve, but also let these smells mix, but fortunately it is winter, if it is summer, the smell here must be more unbearable, plus mosquitoes, it can simply drive people crazy.

"Sure enough, it's an outsider!" Li Zhang looked at the dirty scene of the border market and couldn't help but sigh and said, just dirty here, in addition, it is very chaotic, the two gangs of people who are trading may suddenly fight, if it is Han, the officials on the side of the Great Song Dynasty will come forward to mediate, if both sides are Hu people, the officials are too lazy to take a look, and in the end, which side has the biggest fist has to follow the rules of which side.

"Brother Cao, it's so messy here, can't you just take care of it?" Li Zhang couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he looked at the surrounding scene, and then asked Cao Yu next to him, Cao Wei in front was chatting with Wang Fang, and the two young men were left behind, which was more convenient.

"Brother Li doesn't know, our Great Song Dynasty didn't take care of it before, the Han merchants are okay, at least they don't dare to break the rules of the court on the surface, but this group of Hu people is too troublesome, especially this group of Hu people is very mobile, maybe this year's one finger, next year's one batch is another, so sometimes it is difficult to teach them to learn our rules, but next year, a group of people will still be the same, and if the management is too strict, it may also cause a backlash from the Hu people, so in the end, the court simply doesn't care, as long as the tax can be raised." Cao Yu is also quite helpless at the moment.

Li Zhang was quite unimpressed when he heard this, because in his opinion, it was not that these Hu people were disobedient, but that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were too lazy, and a good border market was managed like this by them, and it was dirty, and it was chaotic like this, in the words of later generations, it was a bad business environment, which would definitely affect the transactions in the border market.

Of course, Li Zhang's dissatisfaction is dissatisfied, after all, the border city is not under his control, so it is useless for him to have opinions, but he also admires the businessmen who come here to trade, in this dirty environment, they can still trade, especially in the grass huts on both sides, there are still people eating and drinking, and Li Zhang will definitely not be able to do it.

"By the way, I heard that Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao occasionally comes to the border market, I don't know if you have seen it?" At this moment, Li Zhang suddenly heard Cao Wei in front of him ask Wang Fang next to him, and when he heard the name Li Yuanhao, he immediately pricked up his ears, Cao Wei was very interested in Li Yuanhao like him, but Li Zhang was more interested in how to kill this henchman of the Great Song Dynasty in the future!
