Section 992 Merchant Johnson

After a short period of celebration, he immediately sent generals to divide the town into four directions to conduct military training and training for the troops, so that the troops could recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Immediately the troops were sent to Europa, and Wei Xi personally led 100,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry all the way to the west.

All of them are penniless ... All of their earnings are deposited in the bank or sent back to their hometowns to their parents, wives and children.

Only those who do not have enough to eat will be desperate, and those who hold a pile of money are both afraid of death and not conducive to mobility.

Behind the troops, there were 100,000 engineers and migrant workers who built roads all the way, pierced holes in the mountains, crossed the water and built bridges, and built railways all the way!

Wherever the empire conquered, the railroad was built, and it was a double line!

It is reported that Xifu has already surveyed the Bosphorus Strait, which connects Europe and Asia, and is preparing to build a bridge across the sea to link Europe and Asia.

In the sound of horses' hooves and swords and swords, the army marched westward, marching in a wide front for hundreds of miles, and everywhere it passed, all chickens and dogs walked, and those who dared not obey were all cut down, and you were not welcome, and the tribes that were farther away but larger sent a large army to the door to crusade.

Further on, I entered Tang Tian's jurisdiction, and immediately saw that something was wrong: the roads were wide and in good condition, even the crops grew well, cattle and sheep could be seen everywhere, as well as pig farms and chicken farms, anyway, the people in the occupied area were very busy, whether Tang people or slaves.

……

"Where's your queen?" Wei Xi asked.

"Her Royal Highness is waiting for you!" The waiter said respectfully.

Wei Xi strode into the hall, this was a palace of old nobles, and was snatched by Tang Tian.

Tang Tian!

A long-legged beauty with a high appearance, fair complexion, and a strong figure, even if it is a horse career, she does not have much aging, she looks radiant, and she is the most beautiful one in Wei Xi's tent!

Seeing Wei Xi, she was very happy, and the two hugged each other......

……

The boss is poor and his subordinates are tired like a dog!

The army brought by Wei Xi was stationed in the Avar Khanate occupied by Tang Tian, and they set up camps, warehouses, and roads, and then Shun Niu went to kill a tribe or something, all of them were busy.

The land of the Avar Khanate is good, it is the Hungarian steppe, there are steppes and water sources, the previous Avar Khanate also developed it, and soon the Tang army turned it into a suitable place to live.

Let's say that Jiang Shi, who Wei Xi brought with him, immediately took over all the staff commands, including Tang Tian's army, which benefits Wei Xi and Tang Tian as husband and wife, and there is no gap between the two armies.

After he learned about the battle situation, he admired Tang Tian.

Tang Tian, who was only 50,000 people when he set out, expanded his army to 100,000 people, occupied the steppe, and also took turns on the surrounding Moravians, Slavs of the Vach River Basin, Bohemia, Bavaria, Lombards, Croatian/Serbian Slavs, Bolgar Khanate, and Antes, and grabbed a large number of goods, livestock and 500,000 slaves!

Women don't let the eyebrows be shaved!

Now that winter is approaching, what can happen to Dumu, let's get ready for winter!

……

A newly developed city by the Tang people was called Xinyingzhou, and as a trading city, the Tang people had a large number of three treasures: silk, tea, and porcelain plus other goods, while Europa was exchanged for gold, silver, copper, iron, live cattle (which were in great demand by the Tang people), fruits, vegetables, etc.

A Lombard merchant with a round body, a round face, and a round nose. The cheeks were filled with fat, squeezing the facial features together. But the professional smile is very kind, and there is just the right amount of humility.

With a few men, driving hundreds of oxen, they were blocked by the Don army on the border line, and the merchant said in Latin: "I am Johnson, a Lombard merchant, and I have come to your land to trade." ”

It has to be said that the Tang army was fully prepared, and a young officer in dazzling clothes also replied in Latin: "We, the Tang people, welcome your arrival, as long as we obey our decrees!" ”

He explained the decree simply: "Fair trade, those who kill pay for their lives, and those who hurt others are subject to hard labor!" ”

He then told the merchant Johnson that he could reach Xinying Prefecture by following the road, and made an identification card for Johnson, with his name, physical description, and goods sold, stamped for him to keep.

All outsiders have ID cards, and some big businessmen have set up identity files for them, and Johnson has just arrived, so he will get an ID card first.

There was no tax to Xinying Prefecture, but Johnson sold a cow and received 3,000 Tang copper coins to cover the cost of the journey.

Because he always asked the officer if there was a post station on the road and what currency was used, the officer told him that only the copper coins of the Tang people were used, and other currencies were not recognized, except for hard currency, of course, and the Tang people welcomed gold, silver and copper.

Johnson, who had Tang money in his hand, led the team on the road unhurriedly, and he seemed to be interested in everything along the way, but he was not out of line, so people couldn't find anything wrong.

For example, when he met the cavalry of the Tang army on the road, or saw the Tang army training, he walked slowly, but he did not step forward, he just passed by.

Finally arrived in Xinyingzhou, the degree of prosperity is unbelievable, all kinds of skin colors, all kinds of accents, the common is Latin, but Chinese is only used among the Tang people, and trying to let the barbarians of Europa learn square words is tantamount to riding a bicycle on the moon!

Because he was bringing live animals, he could not take them into the city, there was a large livestock market outside the city, he rented a bunk, a hundred copper dollars a day, a dormitory in front of the fence, placed cattle, and then went into the city.

Johnson was amazed and delighted by the crowds on the road, and even though he was a Xibei merchant, he was also shocked by the sheer array of goods in the shops on the street, the opulence of the central street, and the shops, restaurants, and red/light districts branching out like a chessboard.

The main products are silk, tea and porcelain, which are popular with the Europa, as well as jewelry, pottery, spices, medicinal herbs (such as Wei Xi's strong pills), carpets, fine wines, etc., where there are exquisite and beautiful gold and silver utensils, and the nobles used vases of different styles and bright colors...... Overwhelmingly rushing into eyeballs, eating, using, playing, everything, and the armory shop!

The weapons of the Tang people were extremely sharp, and Johnson watched with great interest as the guy sold to a caravan, and after cutting off seven knives of that caravan in a row with the Tang people's saber, the caravan immediately bought twenty Tang knives at a high price!

Ask the price, the cheapest dagger will cost you ten times! And for the price of twenty Tang knives, the caravan didn't have enough money, so it was paid for with gems... A bag of precious diamonds in exchange.

The Tang people are not afraid that the weapons of the future will be used on the Tang people?

There is no fear at all, first, the Europa people have no chance to fight with the Tang army in close combat, and the Tang army will definitely serve them with arrows; Second, there are not enough Tang knives to create a threat to the Tang army, because the Tang knives here are sold at N expensive.

Johnson ordered four stir-fried dishes and a soup to eat and drink, and he almost licked the plate (this is the ugly state of every foreigner who tastes Tang food for the first time).

……

For a few days, Johnson sold his cattle and roamed around town......
