The next morning, the three Zhang brothers had breakfast together, and then they went their separate ways, Zhang Yuanjin still pulled the horse to go out, Zhang Yuanhe brought Carmen today, it is said that he wanted to learn some things about the local trade route from her, and in the end, only Zhang Yuankong was left alone, lonely, and went out.

The people of the "Dead Deer" Divine Cult were still standing on the street shouting, and Zhang Yuankong turned a deaf ear and walked past them, until he completely left the noise behind him, and then he was suddenly stunned, and found that he was able to treat them as if they were in the background and completely ignored them.

(Sure enough, it's easy to get used to this thing.) ）

Standing alone on the street, Zhang Yuankong suddenly felt a little confused.

(So, where to go?) ）

The two juniors have a clear goal, and they work hard to achieve it, and compared to them, they don't even know "where to go" they are really a little confused.

(though...... That's great, too. ）

I have always felt that it is also a very good attitude to life to be at peace with what I encounter, Zhang Yuankong was only confused for a moment, then took a step and continued to walk leisurely.

(Just take a walk around and take a look at the city.) ）

Zhang Yuanjin said the observation last night, Zhang Yuankong was also quite concerned. Now, he walked through the streets and alleys like this, and he really felt the things that Zhang Yuanjin had mentioned.

Of course, the city is still dominated by Xia Min, but there are shops, shops, and gorgeous mansions...... Among all these things that represent wealth and status, the proportion of Yi people is far higher than the proportion of them in the whole city's population, and the Yisi Ba Xi army composed of Yi people who can be seen from time to time with serious faces patrolling the city makes Zhang Yuankong feel extremely dazzling.

(Sure enough, the third child is right, and the difference is clear.) ）

When they first entered Wurong, the three of them didn't look so closely, and they walked all the way, only to feel that their eyes seemed to be full of Yi people, and there were Yi people everywhere. But after slowly coming into contact in the past few days, Zhang Yuankong has already understood that it is really a ridiculous mistake to imagine all the "Yi people" as the same kind of people, a people.

According to the information he read before, coupled with what he has seen and heard in the past few days, Zhang Yuankong can easily see that these Yi people from all over the world have at least dozens or even hundreds of places, and at the same time, they are not evenly scattered in the city, but form a settlement one by one.

(This is Zoroastrianism...... ）

He already knew a lot about the Sanyi Sect, but when he saw the flame symbol flying under the eaves in front of him, Zhang Yuankong had already subconsciously knew that he would enter the Zoroastrian neighborhood in front of him.

(These guys.) ）

I unconsciously remembered what I saw and heard in the mountains yesterday, compared with the Nestorian Religion, which was flexible and tried to cater to the tastes of the gentry class, and compared with Manichaeism, which bent down and bowed its head and was determined to spread the faith among the people at the bottom, the closed and conservative Zoroastrianism was too eye-catching, but it was still able to become one of the Three Yi Religions, maintaining its own members, status, and incomparably distinctive characteristics.

(maybe...... Extreme closure is also a way to preserve oneself, right? ）

Before he entered the intersection, Zhang Yuankong had already heard the noisy scolding, and when he got closer, he saw more than a dozen men, with horizontal eyebrows and raised eyes, blocking the outside of a shop.

(Huojia shop...... Oh. ）

I immediately understood that this was the "trouble" that Pu Shougeng patted his chest yesterday and promised to help Wang Shoujie solve it.

For a long time, even if the Wang family is counted in Yuanzhou, it can only be regarded as a second-tier family. Although they also possess a large amount of fertile land, what really supports the family is the thousands of looms and tens of thousands of weavers they control. For a long time, they are located in the interior of Yuanzhou, mainly through three different routes, the production of satin cotton cloth to transport to the Guadu River, or from Wurong to the sea, although the cloth they produce has been very popular, but they can not reach the end user, but can only get a small part of the profits from the mountains and seas.

"The one who masters the channel can master everything!"

It is said that this is the sad words of the ancestors of a certain generation of Wang family when they were dying, and in the past seventy or eighty years, the heads of the Wang family have also been committed to opening up the "last link" of the trade route, so that they can share more benefits, and this time Wang Shoujie came here, but also after the Wang family communicated with the Pu family many times in advance, the last step taken.

(Acquisition of the Huo family's shops, which had long been ruined due to poor management, and the shipping space and licenses they owned...... But doesn't that really look like an "acquisition"? ）

smiled bitterly in his heart, it was not the first day he came out to walk the rivers and lakes, how could Zhang Yuankong not understand what he was going to do? But it doesn't matter, he has maintained a good relationship with the Pu family or the Wang family so far, and he is not naïve enough to stand up and stand up on behalf of others.

(anyway...... Even if it is skillful and oppressive, it is our Xia people who have taken back the maritime route from the Yi people. ）

Comforting himself like this, Zhang Yuankong stopped and planned to take a closer look at how the Pu family was going to help the Wang family complete the acquisition.

"I said Boss Huo, I heard that your family is secretly worshipping cults."

Among the people blocking the door of the shop, there are Xia people and Yi people, led by Xia people, looking at the color of the clothes, they are characters such as the secretary office in the yamen, and their faces are full of cheapness when they laugh.

"Master Ma, the little old man's family name is Huo Ge, not Huo!"

With a bitter face, the middle-aged shopkeeper with naturally curly brown hair explained in a low voice, saying that he had lived here for several generations, and his neighbors were very familiar with it, and he was a devout Zoroastrian stalk, so how could he worship a cult? “

"Oh, that's okay too."

Giggling, the Ma Shuban said: "Yes or no, it's very simple, let's just copy it." Without waiting for the master to reply, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, come, investigate carefully!" The people behind him laughed and agreed, and then rushed in!

Seeing these people giggling, each of them raised their arms and went on a rampage, and for a while I don't know how many porcelain tea sets were damaged, but few of them were seriously checked, and they were clearly here to find a gap to make trouble, the boss Knox. Hogg was so angry that he trembled all over, and said, "You, you ......" The Ma Shuban snorted, leaned on the counter, took out a snuffbox from his arms, scraped it, pressed it in his nose for a while, trembled violently, sneezed loudly, and then said comfortably: "Old Huo, we haven't known each other for a day...... Listen to me, although the Wang family is a dragon crossing the river, it is a real raptor! It's not like there's no friend in the locals...... Why should you? ”

Hogg said angrily: "What about crossing the river, there is Pu...... What if someone helps him? My family has been inherited from three generations of family business, why does he want to take it away like this! Seeing another big man coming in outside, he was even more angry, and said in a trembling voice: "Di...... Defiya, you and I are of the same clan, but you actually helped the Xia people to steal my family property! ”

The newcomer was dressed in a hooded cloak, wearing a hard breastplate inside, but his arms were bare---- his muscles were knotted, and his muscles were protruding, and when he heard Hogg say this, he sneered and said, "Kindred? How much is the clan worth? As he spoke, he slapped it on the counter and said angrily: "Idiot, this is our territory...... From today onwards, you will have to add 10% of your money to others! ”

When the three of them were facing each other angrily, they heard a loud bang behind them, but it was two men walking sideways, and finally knocked down the largest vase in the house, which was full of fragments...... If the meat is stewed, it must be burned for a long time! Then he beckoned them to retreat, but suddenly one of them exclaimed, "This is the ...... Kobold! But after the vase was shattered, a small statue fell out, with a human body and a dog's head, and a vicious appearance.

"Lao Huo, you, you really have to worship ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a heavy punch, and Hogg's face was green, and his appearance was angry and desperate.

“…… In that case, let's die together! ”
