The vendors who have been preparing for today's sales have been preparing for the morning for a long time, and before dawn, a large number of merchants and guys have come to Miaojiazhuang to start the final preparations.

The entire Miaojiazhuang has become a huge machine in operation, and almost most of its functions are preparing for the fair.

The location of the market, on the two roads adjacent to the threshing floor and the threshing floor, where there are special and temporary stalls, is the core area of the whole market, according to the location, divided into different fixed and mobile stalls.

Signboards and goods have been put up high, and the guys in the store are in the last busy, they will make the final preparations to lay the foundation for the next work, and today is a busy day for everyone.

In the north of November, the day is already quite short, to the time when the time is about to pass, the genius has just dawned, the sun has not gradually risen, but outside the Miaojiazhuang, it is crowded with people.

After guarding for almost 10 days, many of the villagers lacked a lot of things, and they had prepared them early, and even some left before dawn, and when they arrived at Miaojiazhuang, the sky was not yet dawn.

According to the regulations, the time for the market to open is after the hour, that is, the appearance of more than 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the future, but an hour in advance, a large number of people gathered in the periphery of Miaojiazhuang, waiting for the market to enter when it begins, there are more and more people, and there is a bit of a mighty appearance.

Miaojiazhuang has a protective wall, but today, the door opened early, because to receive those traders, just traders and guys, up to more than 1,200 people, at this time, on the grain field, there are some people, but more people, is outside Miaojiazhuang.

120 longbowmen, plus some guards and strong men, were guarded at the gate, but this time, Zhao Xin specifically requested that the longbow could be brought, placed on the city wall, and placed in a place where people could not see, with some ordinary hunting bows or long weapons and spears.

Will there be spies coming to explore the reality of Miaojiazhuang, Zhao Xin knows, there will definitely be, in the canal interception, exposed a Wang Deyong, what kind of person is Wang Deyong, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the people with the highest military status in the Renzong Dynasty at present, the news of Miaojiazhuang's opening is widely spread, and there are even many personnel, as a senior general, he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity.

Zhao Xin wanted to take a look at the bazaar, but Sun Ji refused, jokingly, he asked Miao Yuan, generally speaking, there will be almost 5,000 people in Miaojiazhuang's fair, and there are even more than 10,000 people at the highest, there are too many people, it is too unsafe.

Even if the barn is large enough, plus two roads, it is only more than 10,000 square meters, with an average of one person per square meter, and some of the more popular ones are crowded and bustling.

Canal interception, still vivid, even a strong man like Danmu was sent to intercept Zhao Xin, but in the end it was not successful, that was not because the design was unreasonable, it was because Sun Ji and others fought hard, plus those things that Zhao Xin embodied, whether it was weapons, big shields, iron box cars, all played a key role, otherwise, under the suppression of Danmu's moon bow, even Sun Ji had only one way to escape with Zhao Xin.

Who knows if the other party has a backhand, all along, Sun Ji and their main prevention is this kind of small-scale interception, in Miaojiazhuang, no matter what Zhao Xin does, there are people who personally protect Zhao Xin's safety, plus Miaojiazhuang's access control is strict, unfamiliar people can't enter Miaojiazhuang at all, it is easy to cause vigilance, and there has been no problem.

There is no problem, it doesn't mean that the other party didn't do it, it's just that because of strict precautions, there are no flaws that can be caught, this fair is the first market after Zhao Xin arrived, and the people behind him must have to find a way, Zhao Xin not only can't appear in the flow of people in the market, but he is not even allowed to get closer.

Sun Ji and Xue Yu are both royal and straight, what they have to do is more to defend, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and the defense work is more difficult than attacking, because there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, maybe you have guaranteed the safety for a year, or even two or three years, as long as you are negligent, you will fall short.

An important principle in security work is to avoid going into dense and complex areas, where anyone who creates chaos in the crowd will certainly be able to influence them, and if they take advantage of the chaos, the Assassins may succeed.

With a sigh, Zhao Xinzhi finally did not participate in this lively market, and returned to the mansion, not only quietly, but also quite high-profile, taking advantage of the arrival of all the merchants, under the escort of the guards, he turned around in a corner of the market, and then returned.

Miaojiazhuang has been regarded as one of the foundations of the future, the influence of this market on Miaojiazhuang can spread a lot, with the steamed bun workshop, thousands of benefits every day, can not rely on the market, but it is impossible to give up.

The reason why Miaojiazhuang has such a great influence in the surrounding area is that it really relies on the market. Without this bazaar, the fame gained throughout the surrounding villages would have been almost impossible to influence.

Miaojiazhuang has a total of 2,800 people, 1,400 men, of which, at most more than half are adult men, this is still extended to between 15 and 50 years old, if from 15 to 35 years old, there may only be about 400 people, these will be the main soldiers to come, 400 people, compared to Zhao Xin to ensure the safety of Miaojiazhuang 700 people, there is a gap of nearly half.

Where does this part of the gap come from, that's right, it is these villages outside Miaojiazhuang, which Zhao Xin has planned for a long time, if there is no market in Miaojiazhuang, Miaojiazhuang will make the surrounding people resentful, and attract soldiers, he will not dare to use it.

The total population of the villages around Miaojiazhuang may exceed 50,000, which is a village of more than 150 sizes, the large one may be as big as half of Miaojiazhuang, and the small one may be forty or fifty families, three or four hundred people.

Relying on Miaojiazhuang alone, it is impossible to obtain enough labor, and just a steamed bun project makes Miaojiazhuang's labor force a little stretched, let alone more projects in the future.

Only with a huge population of about 50,000 people, Miaojiazhuang can obtain enough, a huge number of soldiers, this is undoubted, there are 400 people in the local Miaojiazhuang, in addition to the signs of these soldiers, can form a joint force,

Miaojiazhuang can't be messed up, he is the primary target, no matter now, the mastermind behind the scenes, whether or not he sent personnel to Miaojiazhuang, he can't give them a chance, high-profile into the house, Sun Ji and others, are also working hard to guard near the house, which means that the other party wants to attack unless it is a storming of the house.

Zhao Xin's high-profile homecoming, did not affect the holding of the market in the slightest, he could not enter the market, because of the large number of people and the chaotic relationship, at present, in the market, there are only more than 40 large merchants, and less than 100 merchants, the total number of people is less than 500 people.

Under the escort of Sun Ji and a few Zhuang Ding, there were almost more than 50 people, and they were only on the periphery of the market, shaking around slightly, as long as the market was seen, the vast majority of people turned to leave, at most on some stalls, simply staying.

In fact, Zhao Xin's approach really played a role, in the shadows, there are at least more than 50 well-trained assassins, in the lurkers, ready to kill Zhao Xin, of course, most of them are arranged on the periphery, not every assassin can obtain the identity on the surface and be approved to enter Miaojiazhuang.

One approval, so that more than 8 percent of the assassins were isolated from Miaojiazhuang, only 10 people entered Miaojiazhuang, including only 5 merchants who occupied the stalls, although their positions were concentrated, but Zhao Xin did not wander around them at all, even if he saw that the target was one or two hundred meters away, and finally gave up creating chaos.

Their original plan was to kill Zhao Xin when Chen Zhaoxin came to see the excitement, no matter what Zhao Xin said, he was also a four-year-old child, and it was easy to get out of the palace, I thought it was to see the excitement, and even some assassins, specially from the Daimyo Mansion and even the Liao Kingdom, got some goods suitable for children to play and attract children's attention, such as sugar people, shadow puppetry, and some other toys.

In order to attract Zhao Xin's attention, and then start, unfortunately, Zhao Xin didn't even look at it, Zhao Xin returned to the house in a high-profile manner, the purpose is very simple, that is, to tell them that they already know their actions, don't play with them, and go home.

Slightly unwilling, but the plan had to be abandoned, and some people proposed to kill and create chaos in Miaojiazhuang, but it was ultimately rejected, if it created chaos, with the strength of these assassins, it would definitely be able to affect Miaojiazhuang and cause large-scale group incidents.

But the egg, how can the death of these ordinary people be placed on the body of the prince and a general like Sun Ji, Sun Ji is terrible, this can be seen from the death of Danmu, even a master like Danmu is dead, if they hide in the dark, they may be able to survive, once exposed, facing Sun Ji, who is holding the moon bow and his own amazing archery, none of them can escape.

To be selected as an assassin, there is no one who does not have the determination to die, but this dead corpse died for a few ordinary people, or for the sake of the goal.

There was such a hidden crisis, and it was so quietly gone, and these dead soldiers also became honest businessmen, sold all the goods in their hands, and then quietly left.
