At night, Liujiazhai had a rare celebration, there was not much wine and meat, and the coarse grain was enough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Sergeant Liang couldn't have a full meal for many days, so he divided it into several batches and let go of his belly to eat.

Zhang Jun was speechless when asked by Patriarch Liu's son during the day, and he was a little depressed in his heart. The child's eyes were innocent, as if he could see through all the lies, Zhang Jun smiled awkwardly and did not answer. It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

He swept over everyone with his gaze, and secretly observed Patriarch Liu, only to see that although he was also smiling, it was not natural, and he must have been distressed about food.

After finishing the meal, Patriarch Liu warmly invited Zhang Jun and the others to move to his house. But Zhang Jun saw that the Liu family's house was not spacious, and there were female dependents, so he kindly refused. The heart of defense is indispensable, after all, it is just made friends, and there is always no fault in being careful.

In this way, after a few days, a few more merchants suddenly came to Liujiazhai. According to the son of the Liu patriarch, this was the first time in several months that Liu Jiazhai had seen anyone other than them.

The wide field in the middle of the stockade suddenly became lively, and countless villagers came out of their low houses and gathered around the two large carts of the merchant.

Although the remnants lived in seclusion, they were not completely isolated from the world, after all, daily necessities such as salt and needlework still had to be purchased from outside, so there were people who specialized in the livelihood of the remnants.

At this time, Patriarch Liu also came over, stood behind Zhang Jun, and introduced: "General rest assured, this merchant has been doing business with us for seven or eight years, and he can be trusted." “

Zhang Jun nodded slightly, undeniable in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his lips, and asked, "Where is the merchant?" ”

"Not far." Patriarch Liu said: "The one who came from Caohan and followed him was his son, but the one who carried the goods hadn't seen it much!" “

"Haven't seen it?" Zhang Jun's heart sank, and he said, "Look carefully!" ”

Hearing Zhang Jun's tone turn cold, Patriarch Liu hurriedly built a pergola, watched through the layers of villagers surrounding outside for a long time, and then shook his head affirmatively, and said: "I really haven't seen it, the previous one was a thin man, he was not in good health, he may not be able to carry the goods, so let's change people." ”

At this time, the three people, one old man, two young people, were unloading all kinds of goods from the car, shouting loudly. Most of the boxes were bits and pieces that ordinary people could not support themselves.

Zhang Jun waved slightly, and Zhou Tong, who was on the side of the guard, hurriedly leaned over, hugged his fists and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

Zhang Jun nodded at the sturdy man who was unloading the goods and said, "That guy is a little suspicious." ”

"Humble position, take him!" Zhou Tong pleaded.

"Not necessarily." Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, "Play with him······" With that, they separated the crowd and walked over.

Zhou Tong hurriedly made a few gestures, and the scout team soldiers on duty under him naturally knew what the team leader's gesture meant, and immediately scattered in all directions, slowly leaned over, and faintly surrounded the man.

Zhang Jun walked up to the truck, looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, and saw that the villagers could not only buy with money, but also barter. The food grown by the villagers is generally not exchanged, and the livestock raised is also very valuable, and most of the animals used are exchanged for the skins, tendons, bones, and even herbs of wild animals. These things are not worth a fortune in the hands of the villagers, but the merchants love them very much, and as long as they are taken out and sold in the city, they can definitely make a fortune.

The trading of coins is also very interesting, and the currency in the hands of the villagers is very chaotic, including Han money, Zhao money, Liangzhou money, and even money minted during the Jin Dynasty.

Zhang Jun observed that the purchasing power of Liangzhou copper coins was okay, the Han coins were slightly worse than the coins of the former Jin Dynasty, and the worst was the money of the Zhao Kingdom.

Because the Zhao clan of the Qian nationality was founded not long ago, although the military force became stronger and stronger, it was much weaker than the Liang and Han in terms of cultural governance. Moreover, the people hated the Xiongnu even more than the Xiongnu, because eating the Han people was mainly the habit of the Xiongnu people, and the Huns were nothing compared to them.

At this time, Zhang Jun saw a bow on the stall, so he reached out and picked it up, and as soon as his fingers touched the bowstring, he put it down and took it back. The strength of this bow is too weak, only five or six buckets, it may be used for hunting, but if it is in battle, it is purely to find death. The arrows fired are difficult to break even leather armor, let alone the armies of the northern countries that have gradually spread iron armor.

Seeing this, the old merchant smiled and said, "This descendant, this bow can be used for hunting, but if you want to buy it, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”

Zhang Jun asked, "Do you only come every few months?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know when it will ······be next time." His eyes blinked unnaturally, and he smiled: "This world is stormy, where is it accurate." “

After hearing this, Zhang Jun shook his head, and pretended to be surprised: "The old man's son is so strong, why don't you let him take care of it more?" ”

"Hah······ Haha······" The old man smiled very unnaturally and did not say anything.

Zhang Jun turned his head, looked at the strong man whose body was gradually tightening, walked over with a smile, grabbed his right hand, held it in front of him, and said, "The calluses on this strong man's hand should also be a good hand at manipulating the dealer, right?" ”

"Dry······ Do? The man broke free and said, "Hugh wants to get in the way of my business." ”

"Doing business?" Zhang Jun sneered: "I'm afraid that you are doing a business without capital!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the man's face changed suddenly, and he reached out and pulled it to his waist.

Seeing this, Zhang Jun took a step back and shouted: "Take it!" ”

Zhou Tong had already waited for a long time with people, and there was room for this guy to go wild, and at that moment, two strong scouts pounced on him and pressed him to the ground. Zhou Tong stepped forward and searched on him, pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, offered it to Zhang Jun, and said, "My lord, please take a look." ”

Zhang Jun glanced at it, and sure enough, it was a short dagger commonly used by the scouts of the Xiongnu Han army. He touched the man's head with his foot and asked in a mocking tone, "Is it really a business without capital······

Seeing that the situation was not good, the villagers scattered and fled. The Liang army quickly surrounded the whole team and detained the other two merchants, one old and one young.

Zhang Jun instructed: "Isolate and detain, interrogated separately." ”

"No!" Zhou Tong took the order and led people to press the three people down.

"Lord!" The three people under the curtain, Han Hu and Hu Shuo, also hurried over and asked urgently, "Is the lord injured?" ”

"Nothing!" Zhang Jun saw that Jiang Wan was also nervous, and somehow he was a little happy in his heart, he said to Han Hu: "Order the whole army, rest and recuperate, except for those who have not recovered from serious injuries, cheer me up and take turns to be vigilant." ”

"No!" Han Hu led the order to retreat.

"My lord, are we guarding?" Hu Shuo asked cautiously.

It was his duty to protect the lord, and when this happened, he realized it later, and he couldn't help but blame himself very much. Hu Shuo knelt down in front of Zhang Jun with a plop, and said in shame: "Lord, I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Jun has always loved this honest but loyal Hu man, seeing that he was kneeling on the ground and standing upright, he was not much shorter than himself, so he immediately patted Hu Shuo's shoulder and said with relief: "It is my personal order to let the guards rest, what are you guilty of?" ”

After that, he smiled and said, "Get up." ”

"Hey······ Hey! Hu Shuo instantly changed his smiling face, stood up neatly, and smiled happily.

"My lord." Song Pei stepped forward and said, "In the future, try not to risk yourself······

"Haha." Zhang Jun smiled and said to Suo Sanjie on the side: "Zeqing has persuaded me many times, but I just can't control myself, what can I do?" ”

Suo Sanjie said: "Lord, what Zeqing said is exactly what Quan Bin thinks, you ······"

"Alright, alright!" Zhang Jun smiled and said to the two: "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example!" ”

"The lord is wise!" The two said in unison.

Zhang Jun was about to take this opportunity to talk to Jiang Wan, who was standing aside, but unexpectedly, another voice sounded. I saw that Patriarch Liu found a hemp rope out of nowhere, not only tied himself up, but also carried a few firewood sticks on his back.

He walked while crying, came to Zhang Jun in a few steps, knelt on the ground and shouted: "General, the grass people are guilty of negligence······ Guilty! ”

Seeing this, the corners of Zhang Jun's mouth twitched unnaturally. Yu Guang looked at Jiang Wan, and she actually showed a rare smile······
