The not-so-good experience in Salt Lake Wei made Qin Siliang a little unhappy. He soon left Salt Lake Guard.

"Yo! You are the first one who came to Salt Lake Wei with a trade certificate but didn't buy salt! My god, buddy, you won't be surnamed Qin, right? The militia's words made Qin Si very nervous! How do you know my surname is Qin?

"I am, so what?" Qin Siliang asked quietly. In fact, he had put his hands on his waist. If this militiaman can't say one, two, three, then don't blame him for doing it.

The militia was obviously a rookie egg, and he didn't react at all to Qin Siliang's actions.

I saw him laugh and say: "I heard that the king's surname is Qin, there were many clansmen who followed the king at the beginning, and the people in charge of silver money among the four major officials today are also surnamed Qin!" So everyone is spreading it, saying that the royal family surnamed Qin is drilling into the money! ”

Qin Siliang let go of his hand. If it's a folk rumor, he won't care. And this matter is also partially true, although Qin Changan is not from the Qin clan, but his background as a Fufeng person in Shaanxi already represents some problems. None of the other officials got up in Jingzhao Heluo, not even in Hanzhong, Shuzhong, and Longyou! This is a bit of a gap from the identity of their founders.

This is not any kind of regional discrimination, it is just a traditional idea of checks and balances. You don't see that the emperor will always find a way to make the number of southerners and northerners in the court. That's checks and balances.

Don't spread these words. I used to be an old peasant, and I rely on the king to get to where I am today. Qin Duzhi is not a member of the king's clan, and neither am I. The one who is really related to the king is the old man Qin of Qinchuan. Old Man Qin is now working in Jinjian and selling woolen cloth to Kaffa! I still begged Mr. Qin for this brand, and I just came to take a look. Next time, I'll buy salt when I come back. ”

While speaking, Qin Siliang said goodbye to the militia and prepared to go to the victory guard.

The victorious guard is next to the victorious lake, which is not a small lake. There are fish and shrimp in the lake, and there is also river water outside the lake. The city of Victorious Guard is at least two laps larger than Salt Lake Guard. The population of Guy has reached almost 3,000 people.

In Deshengwei, the Greeks who ran from Kaffa to survive, the slaves who escaped from the slave market to Deshengwei, and a large number of Han Chinese, as well as Qin Cang who did not release the Tatars after capturing the fortress of the Karaim, and Han merchants, Greek merchants, and Jewish merchants gathered together.

Because of the restrictions on access to Salt Lake, it was only natural that Victorious Guard became the place to undertake the task of selling salt. And because of the dense population of the region, there is a new influx of more than 2,000 Tatars, more than 1,000 Yanhuwei, and four villages of several hundred people in the countryside of Deshengwei.

The business opportunities brought by the agricultural population, which is larger than Chizhou, are not small. A large number of retailers, commonly known as merchants, would bring large quantities of daily necessities from Chizhou and Kaffa to sell at the Takshengwei market.

Every Saturday on this day, there is a large market in the victorious guard. Now in the management of Shengwei is a newly promoted official Yang Kuoyu by Meng Zhuoyan, who has a good character and good execution, but his autonomy is insufficient. His father was a broken man of the Qin family, and among the 3,000 new arrivals, he joined a wealthy family surnamed Yang who had no son, so his son's surname was also changed.

The day Qin Siliang came here happened to be Friday, and the bazaar would be held tomorrow.

After spending a few copper plates in the hotel to rent a room, Qin Siliang and his two attendants spent a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, Yang Kuoyu stood on the city gate with the account office, officials and other cadres in the county government. In the market every Saturday, if no one fights, even if Yang Kuoyu is good. As soon as there was a group fight (usually the Tatars themselves), the officials had to carry water and fire sticks.

Today, Qin Siliang also has to participate in the market, which is also the task he is responsible for assessing Yang Kuoyu.

Coming out of the inn of the victorious guard, to the north is the official office of the victorious guard, to the west is the garrison of the army, and to the south is a large number of dwellings. The inner and outer streets near the East City Gate are lively markets. The hotel is also on the main street side of the east side of the city.

First of all, the eternal salt, the good quality yellowed salt is outside the door of every shop. And then there are some vegetables and radishes from the countryside outside the city. These vegetables were not only needed by the garrison in the city, but also a very popular nutritional supplement for the Tatar people. So vegetables sell quite quickly.

Then there is some grain and meat. Many people lined up on both sides of the market on Saturday to sell the food. In addition, the figs, olives, grapes and other figs sold by Kaffa are also on the market.

In addition to these, many Han Chinese used their ethnic talents to start selling snacks at stalls for breakfast.

Many Tatars fought because of this. Foods such as wontons and steamed buns are only sold on this day, but they can't prepare too much, so the Tatars often add their fists and feet to make a one, two, three.

Along the way, Qin Siliang thought that Yang Kuoyu was still good. After all, the bazaar here is already comparable to the business of Chizhou.

As they walked, two Jews fighting on the side of the road attracted Qin Siliang's attention. He knew that these people with the strange sign of the six-pointed star were a group of people who loved to do business. At Qin Chuan's doorstep, Qin Siliang often saw these people trying to get some 'illegal' shares from Qin Chuan's mouth.

"What's wrong! What's wrong! And the servants came up hula-la-la.

It can be seen from the attitude of the officials that Yang Kuoyu's attitude is very good. In his heart, he added another copy to Yang Kuoyu, and Qin Siliang joined the onlookers.

It was rare for Jews to fight on their own. After all, if you can talk, you don't fight, and it's the Tatars who love to fight.

The officials knew a little Greek, and the Jews had an excellent ability to learn the language, so they also knew a lot of Chinese. The chickens and ducks on both sides talked for a long time, and Yang Kuoyu, who came over, realized that it was a Jew who mixed sand with salt when selling salt, and the other also mixed it, but he mixed it with soil. The two people tear each other down while selling things, and it ends up being a street fight.

"According to the New Han Code, the stolen goods are temporarily seized! The two men fought in the street and were sentenced to three days' detention. At the same time, the sale of false goods will be dealt with after the sales amount is ascertained! ”

After a simple treatment, Yang Kuoyu took the officials and escorted the two people away.

The merchants, whether Greeks, Han Chinese, Jews, or a few Armenians, gloated and pointed at the two men.

The code stipulates that salt adulteration is not allowed, what do you two have to do in front of the street to tear down the stage?
