Chapter 349 Encounter with Thieves
Lin Feng's actions, in addition to subconsciously, are still subconscious, and after a few years of experience, he has become more and more aware of his habits, moving closer to the style of politicians, rather than being a pure soldier. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update
However, as Yan became stronger, in order to continue Yan Guo's strength, he must not only be an excellent soldier, but also become an excellent politician.
Therefore, similar to the situation of seeing the city gate guards checking before, she first thought of the economic orientation of Yan Kingdom, not how fun the mule and horse market was.
Duan Mengrou listened to the voice, and immediately led everyone forward, entered the city, and the group quickly headed towards the east city.
In the curiosity of the five women, Lin Feng always smiled, but he was absent-minded, always paying attention to the changes in all directions.
In the depths of Lin Feng's memory, when he first appeared in Yanjing, at the beginning, there were few new houses on both sides of the street, and occasionally there were new houses, most of which were mainly adobe, and the gorgeous manors next to them were also a little old, looking downcast, desolate, and rude.
Now, through observation, Lin Feng found that there were few newly built houses on both sides of the street, and there were no adobe houses, instead, more gorgeous and luxurious construction, no longer the black and white sketches of the past, more like colorful landscape paintings.
What's more, these newly built houses are not idle, all of them are open for business, and have become shops, not the former iron, canteens, wine shops and other small shops, have all become large hotels, money villages, silk shops, weapons shops and so on.
Behind each storefront, there seems to be more industries involved, and the store comes and goes, and it seems to be very rushed.
Outside the shops, in the prescribed areas, many ordinary small traders and hawkers also set up stalls on both sides of the street, selling handicrafts that they grow or are usually idle.
The subtleties are true, Lin Feng noticed the changes on both sides of the street, and his worries couldn't help but be reduced a little, watching the earth-shaking changes on both sides of the street, not only happy from the bottom of his heart.
In the era of agriculture, if we want to promote rapid economic development, we can only adopt a mercantile policy, promote agricultural development with commercial development, and exchange what we have, so as to promote the development of agriculture and handicrafts, and only by driving the development of all walks of life, so as to promote the comprehensive discovery of the economy, increase the income of ordinary people, and also increase the income of the national treasury.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the state has surplus money and surplus grain to ensure the continuation of foreign wars.
Luoma City was built in the east of the city, from Yu Zheming's report, Luoma City is already the most prosperous area of Yanjing, flourishing everywhere, merchants from south to north, if you come to Yanjing, you must go to Luoma City, with the Luoma City was built two years ago, this seems to have become the habit of merchants everywhere.
The daily income of Luoma City is an important source of revenue for the national treasury, and there is a steady stream of taxes and taxes paid every day.
In the mist of the sparse forest, there were restaurants, shops, vendors, pedestrians, and merchants hurrying forward on both sides of the street, Lin Feng and the six of them walked to the east of the city, passing through a willow forest, in winter, the willow treetops, all the leaves were gone, and the branches were bare, slightly depressed.
However, before Lin Feng and the six of them entered the Luoma Market, Lin Feng had already felt a stronger and stronger commercial atmosphere, more intense than before, with more businessmen dressed up and hurrying forward.
Merchants on all sides, shops are dazzling, as far as the eye can see, the crowd is dense, and the shops are connected to the city. There are constant voices around me with national accents, bargaining, and hearty laughter that makes deals.
Born in it, there is a scene where you are in the alliance of princes, and you can see merchants and goods from various countries, which is eye-opening.
Now, Lin Feng basically has no doubts, the city of mules and horses is huge, although Duan Meng had said that there are many interesting things in it, but now, Lin Feng is basically sure that the commercial atmosphere in the city of mules and horses is more related to entertainment projects, perhaps, for entertainment, but a little green in the thousands of purples and reds.
"Concubine Ran, Concubine Jin, I'm going to enter the Luoma City immediately, take care of your wallet, everything in this Luoma Market is good, but there are a lot of thieves, although there are many patrols inside, it still can't all solve this group of flies." When Lin Feng thought about it, Duan Mengrou said again.
"Thief?" Lin Feng listened to the voice and suddenly said.
Thieves, whether in their past or present lives, never seem to have an end to this problem.
Now, Luoma City is the only source of Yanguo's economy, and merchants from the south to the north are here, if they are harmed by thieves, not only may not be able to negotiate business, but also may lose all their money, thereby affecting the reputation of Luoma City and damaging the image of Yanguo.
If the city of Muma wants to become famous among the princes, it must solve this problem.
"What's the matter, Brother Feng, aren't you detailed?" Hearing Lin Feng muttering in a low voice, Duan Mengrou asked.
Usually, if she goes out of the palace, she is basically in the city of mules and horses, because of the existence of thieves, it is more conducive to her chivalrous righteousness, now, everyone come, she kindly reminds everyone.
"No, you said there was, and there would be." Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Luoma City is the main source of Yan Kingdom's economy, I'm thinking, how to solve this problem?"
"Brother Feng, it's okay, today, with me, no one dares to steal your wallet." Duan Mengrou pointed at herself and said categorically: "Brother Feng, if you come out, don't think about government affairs anymore, otherwise, it's really boring."
Lin Feng didn't say anything, and continued to move forward with Duan Mengrou, because Lin Feng and the others entered the city from the east gate, they had to cross the Jing River, which was connected to Jinyang Lake, which was the same as the river in the west, and was an important transportation hub in Yan Kingdom.
With the rise of Luoma City, the Jing River also rose again, becoming a commercial transportation artery from Yanjing to the west.
At this time, on the Jing River, the population is dense, the grain ships are gathered, and in the teahouses on both sides of the river, many merchants are resting and eating in the rice shop.
Boats come and go in the river, end to end, there are slender men pulling, some boatmen rocking, some full of goods, upstream, some berthed, nervously unloading.
Across the Jing River is a large-scale wooden arch bridge, it has exquisite structure, beautiful form, named Golden Bridge, has the meaning of making gold every day.
Now, Lin Feng and the others are on the golden bridge, and under the bridge, there happens to be a big boat waiting to cross the bridge, and the boatmen have bamboo poles to support it; There is a long rod to hook the bridge; He who holds the boat with a hemp rope; A few more were busy lowering the masts so that the ships could pass.
Others pointed at the bow and shouted loudly.
Lin Feng looked at it from afar, on the Jing River, the traffic was busy, bustling, and it was a veritable meeting point for water and land transportation.
At this time, the boatman on the boat suddenly shouted loudly at Lin Feng, "Childe, there is a female dependent's money bag by your side, and the man in green shirt has stolen it, go quickly."
"What?" The ground was too noisy, Lin Feng didn't hear it clearly, and asked loudly.
The boatman noticed that Lin Feng's expression was confused, and there were many pedestrians on all sides, so he simply took out his money bag, shook it in the air, and kept signaling to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at it, suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Duan Mengrou and the others, "Take a look, whose money bag was lost?" ”
Previously, Duan Mengrou said that Lin Feng was already very concerned about this matter, but unexpectedly, before he had time to rectify, someone around him would lose his money bag, not to mention, no matter whether Duan Mengrou or Beichen Luan, no matter who lost his wallet, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
When the fifth girl heard this, she quickly became cautious and hurriedly checked the things on her body, and soon, Murong Qiyan said in surprise: "My wallet is missing, what about the tribal token in the west?"
Previously, Murong Qiyan put all her mind on the lively scene of Luoma City, and she didn't pay attention to her finances at all, she didn't care about Duan Mengrou's words, but unexpectedly, she was the first to be stolen, and the wallet with the tribal token was stolen.
That tribal token is not only important to her, but when the tribe is strong, this token alone can also dispatch tribal soldiers and horses.
Now, the tribe has been incorporated into the Yan Kingdom, although it no longer symbolizes power, but it has become more and more significant to her.
After the five women examined it in detail, only Murong Qiyan lost something, and suddenly, Lin Feng was furious, these little thieves were too unscrupulous, if they couldn't be cleared from the roots, the reputation of Mule and Horse City would definitely be ruined in their hands in the future.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, this truth Lin Feng knew very well.
"Aman, leave and send someone to the criminal department, immediately investigate this matter in detail, today, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out the initiator, and at the same time, tell the criminal department to arrest all the thieves, tomorrow, in Luoma City, in front of the public, to be dealt with with whipping." Lin Feng's tone was angry, obviously, he didn't treat this matter as a private matter, let alone turn a big matter into a small matter.
"Brother Feng, catch the thief, the punishment department is not Rou'er, today, I will help you catch this thief, as for the punishment, you should chop off your hands to set an example." Duan Mengrou has been in the city for a long time, and usually calls herself a heroine, everyone knows that she has a very deep background, and she doesn't dare to provoke her at all, Duan Mengrou boasts that she has a bit of prestige, and deliberately took on this task.
Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and said, "Anyway, catch a thief first, and find Qi Yan as a token." ”
Now, Lin Feng is very unhappy, today, he finally had time to take Murong Qiyan to hang out, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, which directly ruined everyone's good mood, not to mention, Beichen Luan and Ran Qingge came from the Jin Kingdom, and before they could appreciate the good side of Yan Kingdom, they encountered Mao thieves, which simply threw Yan Guo's face in.
Even if the two of them are like this, those who come to Yan Kingdom to do business, if they have this encounter, they will definitely not have a good impression of Yan Kingdom.
Even though new castle towers were built in the city, there were tea houses, liquor shops, etc., and the shops specialized in silk and satin, jewelry and spices.
However, if you encounter a thief, no one will be in a good mood.
Duan Mengrou nodded, left with two guards, and after a cup of tea, he turned around and returned, bringing a thief with a thief by his side, and came to Lin Feng, Duan Mengrou said: "Brother Feng, I have already informed him of the news, and he will pass it on to all the thieves in Luoma City, if he doesn't take the initiative to hand over the things he stole before, today, all the thieves in Luoma City will definitely fall to the ground." ”
Lin Feng glanced at the young man, and said without anger: "You go and tell all the thieves in the city that there is a noble man who lost something on the golden bridge today, and if he can't take the initiative to send it back within half an hour, the criminal department, the city defense army, and the blade soldiers, even if they turn over the city and dig three feet into the ground, they must find him, and at the same time, they will break all the thieves in the city into pieces." ”
"Ahh When the young man heard this, he was sincerely afraid, as if he did not expect to encounter such a thing today.
He didn't know what Duan Mengrou's identity was, but he also knew that there was a very big force behind her, and in Luoma City, no one could offend her.
Now, standing beside Duan Mengrou, the man she called Brother Feng actually mobilized not only the Criminal Department, the City Defense Army, but also the Blade Warriors in order to find the lost things.
As a native of Yan Country, if you don't know the status of the blade warrior in Yan country, you will live in vain, who doesn't know, the blade warrior can only be dispatched by the current saint, however, now this man, in order to find the lost thing, does not hesitate to mobilize the blade warrior, he dare not imagine the identity of the man in front of him.
Lin Feng didn't care about the young man's surprised look at all, and shouted angrily: "We are in the restaurant in front, we will leave in half an hour, there is not much time left for you, get out!" ”
When the young man heard this, he scolded secretly, that bastard who didn't have long eyes, he knew that the little witch was there, and he also ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to steal the people and property around her, isn't this picking up dung with a lantern and looking for death.
If the man standing next to the little witch is exactly what he guessed, then the identity of the little witch and the man next to the little witch is self-evident.
Now, he must spread the news to the various gangs in the city in a short period of time.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this sentence is not bad at all.
In a commercial place like the Luoma Market, there are many merchants from all over the world, and every merchant who comes here carries a lot of money with him, and for those who are not diligent, do not divide the grains, and are lazy to eat, stealing money from merchants from all over the world has become their occupation.
Because the city of mules and horses is very large, even though there are bands of thieves, they are divided into three different gangs due to their different locations.
Today, the place where Lin Feng and the others lost their money bags belongs to the east of Luoma City, this gang of thieves is the largest gang in Luoma City, the Mountain Eagle Gang, and the young people who were captured by Duan Mengrou belong to the Mountain Eagle Gang.
When the young man had not yet returned to the gang, the Shanying Gang was very lively, not for anything else, but because some people in the gang had gained a lot today, first someone apologized to a merchant from the Song Kingdom for fifty taels of silver, and soon, someone came back with a hundred taels of silver.
Compared with the previous income of dozens of taels of silver each time, today, the Mountain Eagle Gang has an unusually rich harvest, just because, in addition to these two people, someone stole back two exquisite jade carved jade talismans and four or five taels of gold.
After staying in the thief industry for a long time, when the man took out the jade talisman and gold, everyone left to see the value of the jade talisman, and not only showed envy to the man.
Members of the Mountain Eagle Gang, every time they steal something, regardless of the value, they only need to pay 50% to the Mountain Eagle Gang, and the remaining 50% will go to the thieves.
Today, this thief stole the jade talisman, both in color and quality, it is superior, if it is sold, there will definitely be hundreds of taels of silver income, which is equivalent to the income of ordinary thieves for half a year, or more.
The leader of the Mountain Eagle Gang Iron Face, with half an iron mask on his cheek, covering the left side of his face, looks both mysterious and majestic, at this moment, playing with the jade talisman in his hand, he said to the man in the center of the hall: "Three fingers, you have gained a lot today, and when you sell this jade talisman, you should be able to get two hundred taels of silver." ”
